"Oh, very soon?"
Chen Tianlong said lightly, his foot on the accelerator never loosening, pressing it all the way down.
The car sped on the highway for two hours, finally seeing a city ahead in the distance. Yet, upon entering about ten kiloters in, a chill could be felt.
This is really strange!
In South Sea City, this ti of year is the transition from sumr to autumn, and it’s quite hot. Yet, here it suddenly grew cold, and the front was gray and hazy, looking as if it was snowing.
"It’s so cold! Chen Tianlong."
Liu Ting had visited before, but that was in winter, wearing a thick down jacket, so it didn’t feel unusual. This ti was different; she ca from sumr, and certainly didn’t prepare much cold-weather clothing, only bringing a couple of fall coats.
"Hm, the temperature here is indeed odd. When we get out of the car later, quickly put on your coat so you don’t catch a cold." Chen Tianlong said with concern, having brought several coats just in case since Wu ngting was ill.
After checking online, he learned that it’s cold here year-round, but didn’t expect it to be this cold.
"Achoo!"
At this mont, a sudden sneeze sounded from the back. Initially, Chen Tianlong thought it was Liu Ting, but the sound seed familiar sohow?
And Liu Ting apparently didn’t react at first, looking at Chen Tianlong who glanced back at her, then suddenly realizing the sound ca from her left side.
Could it be...
Liu Ting’s eyes widened, quickly turning to look at Wu ngting on the left, only to see her slowly open her eyes and look around, unfamiliar with her surroundings.
"Don’t... don’t hurt my Chen Tianlong..."
Wu ngting’s eyes were evidently blurry, taking in the unfamiliar environnt, recalling the scene before she lost consciousness, she hurriedly said.
Squeak!
A sudden screech of brakes sounded, stopping on the concrete road leading to Ice City. Chen Tianlong finally knew who had sneezed, wasn’t it his girlfriend Wu ngting?
Relieved, he looked back excitedly, quickly got out of the car, opened the door, and held Wu ngting in his arms, saying sowhat emotionally: "ngting, you’re finally awake, you scared , did you know?"
"Chen Tianlong, are you okay? I...what happened to ?"
Wu ngting saw how tense Chen Tianlong was and saw a familiar person beside him, recognizing the woman as the female doctor Liu Ting from the South Sea No.1 Middle School clinic.
How did she end up following Chen Tianlong?
She then glanced at the passenger seat, where a very cultured-looking girl was blinking her eyes at her.
The girl looked very smart, it’s hard to tell her height sitting down, but her fair and tender face indicates she’s definitely a beauty.
Exquisite facial features, a proud chest, a pair of round black eyes flickering with liveliness, holding a hint of mystery.
"Chen Tianlong, who is the girl in front?"
Wu ngting observed for a while before asking.
Seeing Wu ngting acting as if nothing happened, Chen Tianlong was overjoyed, not directly answering her question but clasping Wu ngting’s small hand and checking her pulse.
Monts later, Chen Tianlong frowned, Wu ngting’s heart ridian was in disarray. Although her complexion looked great, it showed signs of a transient glow.
That is to say, if not cured within two to three days, she could be in life-threatening danger.
"Chen Tianlong, what’s wrong with ?"
Seeing Chen Tianlong not answering her question but rather holding her wrist, Wu ngting knew he was worried and asked.
"It’s...it’s nothing, you’ve been poisoned, the girl in the car is a friend we t in Ouyang Town, as for what happened along the way, I’ll tell you slowly later."
Chen Tianlong knew Wu ngting didn’t have much ti left, he had to cure her of the Heart-Burning Gu Poison before the symptoms escalated.
Wu ngting nodded, and as she prepared to get into the car, Ouyang ijia suddenly jumped down from the front passenger seat. From the hug between Chen Tianlong and the girl earlier, it was evident their relationship was not ordinary.
Not wanting to act as a third wheel, Ouyang ijia decided to move to the back seat of the car.
Wu ngting wasn’t shy. As an inherently straightforward person, she felt favorable towards Ouyang ijia for being perceptive enough to give up the spot.
"Thank you, I’m Wu ngting, how should I address you?"
As Chen Tianlong’s legitimate girlfriend, faced with so many beauties, she still wanted to establish dominance to prevent anyone from swooping in and taking Chen Tianlong away.
"Hehe, hello, I’m Ouyang ijia, you can just call ijia."
"ijia, what a beautiful na!"
After speaking, Wu ngting turned back and said to Chen Tianlong beside her: "By the way, where are we going? What exactly is this place?"
Chen Tianlong forced a smile, started the engine, and began telling Wu ngting the details of the journey.
However, when it ca to explaining the Heart-Burning Gu Poison that Wu ngting was afflicted with, he only ntioned it briefly without detailing the severity, to avoid distressing her.
But Wu ngting wasn’t foolish, she could definitely tell that even Divine Doctor Tan couldn’t cure the illness, so how could it be nothing?
"Chen Tianlong, be honest with , won’t I live for only a few more days?"
Seeing Chen Tianlong’s sowhat lancholic face, Wu ngting already suspected as much, otherwise, Chen Tianlong wouldn’t have traveled two days from South Sea City to arrive in such a cold and unfamiliar city.
"ngting, don’t worry, I won’t let anything happen to you, absolutely not!"
Not knowing how to comfort her, Chen Tianlong could only promise.
"Hehe, I believe you!"
Wu ngting knew her own condition well. Although she felt fine today, she couldn’t shake the feeling of her soul nearly slipping away, as if her spirit was about to leave her body.
Seeing this, the two girls in the back seat dared not say too much, fearing they might accidentally touch upon emotions and make things worse.
This state persisted until they reached Ice City.
Ice City wasn’t bustling, but many tourists ca.
Mostly because of its natural environnt, being cold year-round, hence the na Ice City.
"Wow, it’s so beautiful here!"
Wu ngting had never seen such a beautiful city before, surprised to find it snow-covered in the middle of sumr, feeling incredibly delighted.
"Yes, it’s beautiful!"
Though Liu Ting wasn’t seeing it for the first ti, returning here brought a different pleasure.
anwhile, Ouyang ijia, who had been quietly sitting in the back, had a look of heaviness, not saying a word. Looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar city, she wondered what thoughts occupied her mind.
"Chen Tianlong, can I go out and play for a while?"
Well aware of her remaining ti, Wu ngting couldn’t resist the urge to explore this beautifully bleak scenery.
Even if she were to leave this world in a few days, she wished to cherish the final monts together with Chen Tianlong, savoring the gentle presence of this mont.
