After Lin Hao took the child to the hospital and finished the admission procedures, he also had a nurse bandage the child’s rather gruesome wounds.
Having done all that, Lin Hao ambled towards the hospital entrance and saw the very adult he was looking for playing with a group of children by the entrance.
Well, he knew this adult wouldn't just wander off.
Lin Hao showed no expression at this sight, just as he had expected.
Let’s open our minds a bit. After Lin Hao had interacted with this female for two years, this kind of sudden disappearance had a high probability of signifying that her fortune had once again arrived.
After all, on previous occasions, she had said that her fortune could only be triggered when no one else was around for the best results.
Fine, as a human in the new interstellar era, feudal superstition was still not advisable. It was fortunate to see this adult on his way back.
Lin Hao quickly walked up to Ye Xue and asked, "When are we going back?"
Compared to those baseless things, Lin Hao was more concerned about when they could return.
Another day of annoying meddling.
If shopping with Ye Xue was tiring enough to cramp his legs, then the earlier fight had nearly cost him his life.
If not for the training he had undergone in the Zhao family for those years, he wouldn't have lasted even a minute.
However, thinking about it now, the fighting style of those people was very similar to his own, as if cast from the same mold.
Thinking this, Lin Hao shook his head. Perhaps it was just a normal coincidence.
Ye Xue, seeing Lin Hao approach, ignored his question and squatted down, smiling at the child beside her. "My friend came to find me. Let's play again next time."
The little girl in the hospital gown, seeing her beloved "older sister" promise to return, beamed and said in a childish voice, "Okay, older sister, please remember to come back and see An An. An An really likes playing with pretty older sisters."
After saying this, the little girl skipped back to her mother and chattered animatedly about what had just happened.
Ye Xue looked up and saw the mother's worried expression. She said something vague about "it will get better" before walking away.
Lin Hao obediently followed behind her. He had naturally heard what Ye Xue had said earlier.
For the first time, he truly hoped that Ye Xue's words were true.
Because when he saw the little girl, he was reminded of Fei'er.
But the little girl's pale complexion, the mother's worried and sad expression as she watched her play, it seemed the girl's life was on a countdown.
Sigh.
As Lin Hao sighed beside her, Ye Xue said with a smile, "What's there to sigh about? That little girl can have surgery tomorrow, and the surgery will be very successful. Don't sigh. You're only fourteen or fifteen, why do you act like an old man every day?"
After offering words of comfort, Ye Xue didn't forget to mock Lin Hao for looking so old.
Lin Hao's attention remained fixed on the fact that the little girl could have surgery tomorrow. He didn't even pay much attention to Ye Xue's taunt.
"How do you know she can have surgery tomorrow?"
"You forgot, I can read fortunes. I can tell the future path of someone just by looking at their fate."
Ye Xue and Lin Hao chatted idly like this until they reached the training camp.
Lin Hao took out the items from his spatial storage and handed them to Ye Xue. "Alright, here are your things. And remember your promise from this morning."
Finally back. This day was more tiring than training at the old man's house until midnight.
Therefore, he vowed to sleep for the entire day.
Indeed, accompanying a girl shopping was a skill. Those without experience should try it less.
After Lin Hao returned her things, Ye Xue looked at him with an inscrutable expression. "Aren't you interested in your own destiny? You make me chase after you to tell your fortune. Even the emperor of the empire doesn't get this kind of treatment. I didn't expect you, a child, to avoid my favor like the plague. This truly breaks my heart."
She then proceeded to shed a few insincere crocodile tears, her eyes filled with accusations against Lin Hao.
Exhausted to the bone, Lin Hao had no mood to play around with her. He turned and headed towards his dormitory, waving his hand behind him and saying, "I don't like a life that's been spoiled. I prefer my life to be unknown because that's what gives me anticipation and a reason to strive for the future."
Seeing this, Ye Xue put away her fake tears and muttered while looking at Lin Hao's retreating back, "Sometimes, it's truly better not to know too early. It's beneficial for both you and him."
For a moment, her mind went blank, nearly causing Ye Xue to fall to the ground. She quickly steadied herself by grabbing onto a nearby tree. Only when the blankness in front of her subsided did she slowly let go.
But at that instant, the lush green tree instantly turned withered and rotten. Ye Xue turned around and saw this sight, as if all her strength had been drained. She immediately knelt on the ground, gently stroking the decaying tree.
She muttered, "It wasn't intentional."
After speaking, Ye Xue slowly stood up, her expressionless face and vacant eyes looking down at her soft hands, which had returned to their original tender state, nothing like they were that morning.
You are truly a monster.
She mocked herself internally.
She then walked towards her dormitory, her expression unchanged even when she bumped into someone on the way.
She walked as if she were a zombie.
Lin Hao, upon returning to his dormitory, simply washed up and casually collapsed onto his bed.
The cells in his body, which had been screaming in protest, instantly quieted down upon contact with the bed.
He looked up at the snow-white ceiling, his mind still involuntarily replaying the silver-haired boy he had seen during the day. When he was unconscious, he seemed to have been muttering, "Don't catch me, don't take me back."
Just as Lin Hao tried to listen more closely to what the boy was saying, the boy fell silent.
And those big men with the same fighting style. Although some people who left this place chose to become freelancers, becoming mercenaries.
But such a large-scale appearance of such individuals.
What earth-shattering, heaven-defying thing had this child done?
Sigh, forget it, forget it. Time to sleep.
Lin Hao couldn't figure anything out after thinking for a long time and decided to sleep.
