What if he really cos back?
"He can go through fire and water for you, he can betray all moral codes and break his inner principles. Are you really unable to muster the courage to wait for him?"
"..."
"Today, you threw away the antidote, it dissolved. Even if it didn't dissolve, you're determined to die. But what if he returns soday? What if he cos back and can't find you?"
"..."
"Yes, even though he might not co back now or in forty-nine days, and hasn't found the antidote from the White Scorpion, he will still die. But what if he finds it?"
"..."
"He's my grandson, but at the sa ti, he's Ye Xiaofan, he's Ren Zhongtian's successor, he's Fan Lingtian's chosen future leader. If we old folks can live until now, why not a Ye Xiaofan who combines the strength of three into one?"
Releasing her knees, Shen Zuimo ca down from the bed. Standing gracefully, she slightly bowed towards Ye Aotian.
"I'm willing to wait for him..."
This sentence alone was enough.
A person contemplating death, even if stopped today, cannot be restrained for a lifeti.
The permanent solution is to open up her heart and mind...
Ye Aotian, already irritable because of Xiaofan, couldn't afford to ignore the matter. Everything Xiaofan worked so hard for was for her. If she can't cherish it, no one can help...
Fortunately, this girl isn't stubborn.
Gently placing the antidote on the table, Ye Aotian had said all he could. Whether she eats or discards it, it's up to her. If she's persistent, no one can resolve it. If she takes it, then this page can be turned.
Opening the door, Li Kuo and Shen Junjie quickly stepped forward.
"Old Mr. Ye."
"Grandpa Ye..."
"Hmm." Ye Aotian responded in a deep voice, continuing to walk ahead.
Li Kuo looked at Ye Aotian's back, feeling bitter.
Who can understand the bitterness in this old man's heart? Surely, it's deeper than anyone else's.
Shen Junjie worriedly peeked inside from outside the door.
He saw Shen Zuimo gently pick up the antidote from the table and slowly put it into her mouth.
The heavy stone in his heart was finally laid to rest; after so much turmoil, at last, she saw the truth.
Closing the door gently, Shen Junjie, knowing his own clumsiness with words, chose not to linger, planning to visit her tomorrow when her mood stabilized.
"Brother..." Just then, Shen Zuimo suddenly called out to Shen Junjie.
"Hmm? Uh?"
"I want to drink porridge, made with chicken broth..."
"Hmm? Oh, okay, I'll go right away..."
Eager to eat, that's definitely a good sign.
During this period, Shen Zuimo suffered from the torture of the poison within her body, coupled with her longing for Xiaofan, surviving on drips for nutrition. Thus, her body had severely weakened over a month and a half.
But undeniably, despite Shen Zuimo's complexion being bleak, her beauty had not diminished one bit, except now her radiant charm might hold a trace of sorrow.
After all, her brilliance would only bloom for him, and on the day it blooms again, it must be as he returns.
Waiting is the most tornting thing, especially the kind where the outco is unknown. Moreover, it's the type inclined towards a bad result.
Ti passed slowly.
Unconsciously, a week slipped by.
Japan, Kyoto port.
Li San sat at a fixed spot every day, fishing. Although sotis the bait was eaten away unnoticed.
His gaze constantly watched the ships returning to the port, whether oil tankers, cargo vessels, or even small fishing boats, none escaped his notice.
The troops searching on 'Demon Island' had all withdrawn back to Japan yesterday.
Of course, after the exposure of research on Demon Island, Japan faced worldwide condemnation and severe criticism. Abe was forced to apologize publicly to the world.
But after apologizing, what does it solve? The research that needs to be done continues. In his own country, doing sothing unspeakable, who would know?
If it weren't for M Country backing them, this incident wouldn't have been resolved simply with an apology.
M Country had no choice; the mutant research was provided by them to Japan. When your dog makes a ss outside, if unnoticed, fine. But if discovered, the owner has to clean it up.
Li San wouldn't spend much ti focusing on such matters anymore.
He just wondered, when would Xiaofan finally return?
"Li San..."
Tang Tianyou hadn't returned alone, delivering lunch to Li San every day at a certain ti, along with a bottle of ice-cold cola.
"Ah..."
"Have you thought about going back?"
"Go back? How do I face so many people there?"
"Do you plan to hide forever?"
"No, I just want to hide until that rascal returns."
"Think openly about things."
"I've thought clearly, in that explosion, if anyone could survive, he'd definitely be one of them, I believe..."
"Alright, but even if Xiaofan survived, he should've appeared by now, right? It's already been a week..."
"Hmm, true, if he wants to appear, he will. Otherwise, let's head back?"
"Yes, let's go back."
This week, Li San had gained insight into life from fishing.
No matter how much disbelief there is, a fact is a fact. Human capability is limited, and things that can't be changed shouldn't be forced.
If Xiaofan is alive, he will return...
With Muto dead, the previous order to deploy two battalions was nullified. Plus, Japan faced worldwide criticism, having no interest in pursuing Li San's whereabouts.
Besides, today, a week later, the storm had long passed. Frankly, they were unwilling to continue the chase. It was best to leave swiftly, as Japan faced turbulent tis, preventing more trouble.
"Chen i'Er, waiting at my house is not a solution."
"I don't care, Xiaofan couldn't stay silent for a week, not even a call or ssage. He's surely engaged in sothing dangerous. If you don't tell , I'll keep eating and drinking at your house."
Li Kuo hadn't disclosed Xiaofan's disappearance to Chen i'Er, planning to wait for Li San's return. As friends, they'd discuss, minimizing her wild speculations.
"Suit yourself. Here, help hold the baby."
"Hey, why? Why should I hold your baby?"
"You're idle anyway. If not, freeloading at my place, wouldn't you feel embarrassed?"
