"Director Bai, what brings you here?" Xue i asked curiously as she hurried forward. Bai Li was Xue i's senior and a veteran at the Central Hospital. Both her dical skills and her character had earned her a high reputation. Moreover, Bai Li had always been kind to Xue i, so Xue i was quick to greet her.
"Xiao i, I just saw what you all did for that little girl, Lingling," Bai Li said. "To be honest, I was really moved. But have you found soone who fits Lingling's image of Sun Wukong?"
"No," Xue i said, shaking her head.
"Then I recomnd soone who might be able to do it," Bai Li said with a slight smile.
"Who? Who's that amazing? As far as I know, the person who best fits Lingling's image of Sun Wukong is Xiao Lingtong, but he's currently overseas for treatnt. You're not talking about him, are you?" Xue i asked in surprise.
"Of course not. The person I'm talking about is soone you definitely know. In fact, most people do," Bai Li said with a smile.
"Who is it, Sister Bai?" Xue i asked, her curiosity piqued.
"The Magician, God Xia!"
Upon hearing this, a look of surprise flashed across Xue i's face, followed by hesitation. "Sister Bai," she said, "I'm not doubting Mister Xia's magic, but portraying Sun Wukong is different from performing it. I admit his magic is unparalleled; you won't find anyone in this world more incredible than him. But portraying Sun Wukong... I don't know if he can pull it off."
Bai Li smiled. "How will you know if you don't try? Besides, Sun Wukong doesn't necessarily need to be portrayed by a person. The Sun Wukong portrayed by people is, after all, just an act, not the real thing."
Xue i paused, carefully mulling over Bai Li's words. Then her eyes lit up. "Okay, I'll give it a try. Wait, Sister Bai, do you have Mister Xia's contact information?"
Bai Li shook her head. "I don't, but you can ask the online community to help find him. I know you want to go to his house, but that would be presumptuous. It's not right to just show up and invite him without his consent. But if we appeal to netizens for help, Mister Xia might see it. If he agrees, Lingling's wish can be fulfilled."
"Alright, I'll do it right away," Xue i said and promptly returned to the ward. She went to Lingling's bedside. "Lingling, I know soone who might be able to fulfill your wish, but I don't know if he's willing. You can tell him what's in your heart in front of the cara. The person is the Magician who has been so popular recently, God Xia. If he's willing, he should co. If not, then we'll let it be."
Hearing this, Lingling's pretty eyebrows furrowed. "Auntie i, isn't that guilt-tripping him? If the Magician Brother wants to co, and if he knows about it, he'll naturally co. If I'm not fortunate or destined enough for that, what's the use of saying anything? I don't want to guilt-trip him. He has such a good heart and has risked his life to save so many people. I don't want to bother him."
Lingling shook her head. "Auntie i, I'm tired. I want to rest for a while. Could you turn off the video for now?"
Xue i was taken aback. She had known Lingling for so ti, but this was the first ti she had seen the little girl look so unhappy. She realized her words might have hurt the child's innocent heart.
So, she nodded. "Alright, I'll turn off the video. You get so rest."
Xue i apologized to the viewers online and then ended the stream. She also signaled for Ling Er, Zhu Qing, and the reporters to leave the ward.
「anwhile」
Online, Lingling's response caused a complete uproar. All the netizens were moved by her sincerity and kindness. An opportunity to have her wish granted was right in front of her, yet she would rather give it up than trouble Xia Liang. This kind-hearted little girl deeply touched everyone watching.
On Weibo and Douyin, an internet celebrity with tens of millions of followers saw the clip of Lingling. She decisively opened her phone's cara, pressed her hands together sincerely, and began to speak.
"God Xia, I don't know if you'll see this video, but I still hope you can help Lingling fulfill her wish. This little girl has been kind her whole life, and I really can't bear to see her final wish go unfulfilled. If such a kind, smart, and sensible little girl has to leave this world with regrets, I truly feel it would be the world that has failed her! I hope you can help her. To all the netizens and my followers who see this, please pass my words along, especially to God Xia, so he finds out about this. Thank you!"
After recording the video, she imdiately uploaded it to Douyin. Then, she went to exercise. Once she was done, she took a bath and returned to bed. When she opened her phone and tapped on Douyin, she was instantly shocked by what she saw.
In just an hour, the video she had posted had reached over a million likes, and the comnt section had tens of thousands of replies.
She was completely dumbfounded. After a mont of shock, she hurriedly started scrolling through the comnts.
ID Clover's Love: "Thank you, ngng, for this video. We need to let more people know about this. Let's unite the power of the online community and get this ssage to God Xia."
"I've already shared it! I copied what the Anchor said and posted it on Weibo. I also left ssages in God Xia's live broadcast room, Su Sannian's on Dou Sha, and that female Anchor's on 'B Station.' God Xia is sure to see it."
This comnt alone had thousands of replies. It seed that many people agreed with her.
At the sa ti, across Weibo, Douyin, "B Station," Dou Sha, and other short video and social dia platforms, comnts and videos began appearing, all searching for God Xia, Xia Liang. So were initiated by major internet celebrities, while others were organized spontaneously by netizens. In any case, everyone's goal was to get the news about Lingling to Xia Liang.
「At this ti」
On a bench on the comrcial street, Xia Liang closed his phone and stood up, stretching his back.
Liu Tongtong also stood up, hesitating for a mont before asking, "God Xia, do you plan to go?"
Xia Liang naturally knew what she was referring to. In fact, they had both watched Lingling's entire live broadcast from start to finish. They were just unaware of the subsequent internet-wide search for him. But that didn't prevent Xia Liang from understanding Lingling's situation.
According to his guess, the Great Sage Sun Wukong in Lingling's heart was probably not the one portrayed by Xiao Lingtong, nor was it what everyone imagined. It might not even be sothing a person could achieve. The Sun Wukong in her heart was likely an idealized, emotional version, one that resonated deeply with her. Of course, Xia Liang had discerned all this from the girl's kind-hearted nature.
As for what the Sun Wukong in her heart was truly like, only the little girl herself knew. For his part, helping her fulfill her wish wouldn't be difficult. A prop he had been awarded by the System before, the Wish Manifestation Bead, was all it would take. Xia Liang didn't think much of using a System item for this.
Just then, a call from Su Yi ca through to his phone.
Xia Liang answered, a bit surprised. "Hello? Sannian, what's up?"
Su Yi didn't hide anything, directly telling him about the viewers flooding her stream with comnts. Her tone was full of heartache for the little girl.
"Haha." Hearing this, Xia Liang cracked a slight smile. "Don't worry. I will fulfill her wish."
