Volume 9 â Chapter 24: Withered And Prosperous, A Sinful Life (Part 3)
Qian Xiu said in amazement, âYou knew?â
The little mage said, âItâs because I had tried and found someone to take the bait down for me, but he was chased by the carp king and ran around and died many times. Later I realized that the carp king can only be caught with a fishing rod.â
Qian Xiu was taken aback for a moment, then looked at LQ Little Mage. After a long time, he suddenly laughed, âReally? Thatâs it? Itâs been⦠always, it turned out to be like this!â
âHope he will take the bait.â The little mage also smiled slightly.
âWhat are you both talking about? Why donât I understand?â Thousand Delicate Feathers intervened between the two, looking back and forth. Like a frightened and scared rabbit, she directly hugged Qian Xiuâs arm and looked at the little mage with hostility.
She also shone the ring on her hand deliberately⦠Of course, she did not think this little mage would notice the ring and just did it.
Qian Xiu just smiled and said nothing.
The little mage suddenly put down the fishing rod in his hand and stood up.
System prompt: Player LQ asks you to inherit the mission âFishing of the Golden Carp King.â Do you want to inherit?
This was the sound that echoed in Qian Xiuâs head. He opened his eyes in amazement and moved his lips, âWhy?â
âJust treat it as⦠your wedding gift.â The little mage smiled and said. âAlthough it is said that it is an impossible mission, I hope you donât mind.â
âWhat about you? After working hard for such a long time, you suddenly gave up. Isnât it a pity?â Qian Xiu frowned.
âMe?â The little mage shook his head. âIâm just passing the time. If I donât do this mission, there are many things I can do.â
Qian Xiu thought for a while, then nodded, âThen, Iâll accept it. If I can catch it, I will let you know.â
âWaiting for your good news.â
In this way, the little mage left the two of them, walked out of the bridge, walked over the long piece of mud used to dig earthworms, and then disappeared into the forest.
Qian Xiu picked up the fishing rod on the ground and looked at it in silence.
âAre you going to do this mission?â Thousand Delicate Feathers asked curiously. âItâs impossible to complete it.â
âJust treat it as⦠the atonement.â Qian Xiu gave the answer softly, but after seeing Thousand Delicate Feathersâ small movements, he could not help but frown, âWhat do you want to doâ¦?â
âBuying all-purpose fishing baits from the mall instead. Otherwise, you expect me to dig up, earthworms?â said Thousand Delicate Feathers. âIt really can be caught by hand! Itâs not pixelated! Itâs disgusting⦠brother!â
Qian Xiu knocked her head fiercely, âI said before. Donât simply buy things!!â
â¦
Hospital, observation ward.
Facing the mirror in front of him, Lan Kai quietly looked at Lan Xiaorou, who was lying inside, as if she was asleep.
Xin Yue was by his side, and she was folding a paper crane right now.
Lan Kai suddenly sighed, âXin Yue, did you think that she has been unconscious since then, or is she in her dream?â
âI donât know.â Xin Yue shook her head. âWe can only think about the good⦠Only Xiaorou herself knows the answer.â
With that said, Xin Yue put the folded paper cranes on the table here â There were already quite a few paper cranes here.
Lan Kai shook his head and said, âThe doctor said that she might not wake up this lifetime, and she wonât be able to see these if you do so much. Isnât it unnecessary?â
Xin Yue laughed and said, âYou say I do unnecessary things all day long. Isnât it ironic? Donât you also do some unnecessary things yourself?â
Lan Kai snorted coldly, âI never did.â
Xin Yue stood up straight, reached out to touch Lan Kaiâs lips, and sighed, âLanâs Group is engaged in the production of large-scale equipment⦠This has nothing to do with the medical business, right? But, you have since taken over the business. After that, why did you suddenly want to invest in the medical business? You also cooperated with the hospital to open such a sanatorium?â
âEnterprises need to be transformed and canât become like deadwood.â Lan Kai shook his head, looking away to the other side.âYour family is also running a business. Donât you understand this fundamental?â
âIâm just a little woman. I donât understand the principles of doing business.â Xin Yue tapped Lan Kai on the forehead. âBut, you want other hospitals to focus their research on the nervous system, and even plan to cooperate with foreign countries on creating a prosthetic which has nerves. What is the purpose of the project?â
âWho told you?â Lan Kai frowned and said solemnly. âIs it Xiao Li? Iâll go back and give him a good scolding! The secretary is not behaving like a secretary!â
Xin Yue stretched out her hand and knocked Lan Kaiâs forehead again, and said, âItâs because of your overbearing nature, I am about to become a petitioner for your employees, okay? They come to my piano classroom to complain to me. They felt better, but they were interrupting my piano lessons!â
âIâ¦â Lan Kai hesitated to speak, finally sighed, shook his head, and said. âWell, I will pay more attention now.â
âIs there nothing else but pay more attention?â Xin Yueâs face was still tense.
Lan Kai said resignedly, âWell, what else? Can you tell me so that I can change it?â
Xin Yue said softly, âDonât you think you should be kind to yourself?â
Lan Kai trembled slightly, looking at Lan Xiao Rou in front of the bed, and put his hand on the glass in front of him, âIf I didnât resist at the beginning⦠Will they already be alive in their corner of the world? â
âI donât know.â Xin Yue shook her head.
Lan Kai sighed, âAfter Xiao Rouâs situation has completely stabilized, send her to the sanatorium.â
âReally?â Xin Yue looked at Lan Kai in surprise.
Lan Kai nodded silently, âDonât let more tragedies happen. Send Xiaorou and Lan Xiuâs brother in the bedroom to the sanatorium.â
âThatâs good.â
Lan Kai grabbed Xin Yueâs hand and said, âBy the way, should you consider marrying me?â
Xin Yue took out her hand and backed away, âNo.â
âWhy?â Lan Kai asked inexplicably.
âThink about it now. It seems that you havenât pursued me properly, have you? I have been wasted many years by your uncertainty. You want me to marry you with just one word? How can that be so cheap?â With that said, Xin Yue opened the door and walked out.
Lan Kai immediately chased up her, âWait, who said I didnât pursue you? From junior high school to high school to university, I have been pursuing you, okay? Xin Yue! Xin Yue! Go to the movies tonight?â
âNoâway!â
âXin Yue!! Wait for me!â
âNoâway!â
â¦
The wind blew apart the curtains. A pair of man and woman lay side by side in the beds in a sanatorium in the suburbs.
All were very clean.
That is because it was well taken care of here.
The clubâs maid was changing the vase in front of the windowsill with fresh roses, while Boss Luo was standing between the two hospital beds.
âIf⦠the order of humankind is broken and becomes chaotic again, or the existing ethics are no longer suitable for the development of the world, can it also be overthrown and abandoned? Then, can we create new ethics and order without being limited to the so-called etiquette, the current morality, the established relationship between people?â
The rose flower spread out under You Yeâs hands and became a beautiful form. The maid who heard this turned around and saw Luo Qiu shake his head, âThis proposition is difficult.â
The maid said, âWell⦠There was a so-called rule in ancient times in the East â the most important figure after gods, lords, and parents is the teacher. Now, lords are no longer there.â
âThatâs a long, long time ago.â Luo Qiu smiled, then walked to the nightstand between the two beds and put a small picture frame on the cabinet.
âThen, I will return the things entrusted to me to you⦠my dear guests.â
â¦
Only he and she were sleeping in the ward of the nursing home.
The wind was still toying with the light curtain in front of the window, and the soft gauze cast shadows of roses on the vase.
In the photo, he was hugging her intimately⦠Who would think that he and she were such a pair of lovers who loved each other so deeply?
PS: This is a story, âas long as there is love, there is no problem even if it is (crossed out)â⦠so be it.
