At this moment.
King Ling Gao felt that he was the happiest man in the world.
It would be even better if Li Qianfan could accompany him back from the Blackwater Forest.
King also had the same thought.
After King Ling Gao and others returned to the Eastern Land, they were immediately sent to the hospital.
Comprehensive physical examination.
In case of any internal injuries that might leave sequelae.
They only recuperated in the hospital for a few days before, disregarding the doctor's strong dissuasion, they insisted on being discharged and going home.
Neither King Ling Gao nor King were from Tian Dong.
Yet, after leaving the hospital, they went to Tian Dong together.
It was because Tian Dong was where the girls they missed while in the Blackwater Forest were!
Where there are girls, that is a man's home.
Qingyun.
Qianfan Hospital.
Zhu Hui, who had been promoted to Deputy Section Chief of Logistics, was diligently working in the department as usual.
Compared to a few months ago, the Sister Hui, who was considered "naive and charming" by many, had become noticeably more reserved.
Her former colleagues secretly gossiped that after her promotion, she no longer looked down on her struggling sisters from before, had learned to put on airs, and had become profound.
This was not the case at all.
Zhu Hui never felt that being promoted by Dean Su meant she had shed her immature naivety and learned to put on airs. httpδ:/m.kuAisugg.nět
She spoke less because, during this time, she couldn't help but think of an ostentatious guy.
Frankly speaking.
Zhu Hui did not like men who put on a show.
And King was precisely the representative figure of the pretentious!
Therefore.
When Li Qianfan personally took her to a civilian residence and retrieved the five million yuan that King had left for her, Sister Hui was not particularly moved.
Nor did she feel her heart skip a beat upon thinking of Old Wang.
But she had to admit—
Deep down, she did have a bit of a "hero-worship" complex!
The ostentatious King might have flaws here and there.
But he was willing to do something that many people would consider foolish, all to defend the honor of the Eastern Land!
To the point of risking his own life.
Zhu Hui believed that such a King was a hero.
Even though she felt nothing for the ostentatious King, she prayed in her heart for the heroic King to return safely!
Prayer requires sincerity.
Every morning when Zhu Hui opened her eyes, and every night before resting, she would mentally pray three times: "May King return safely."
Gradually—
Subtly, a person inexplicably occupied a place in Sister Hui's heart.
She only admired this person, but did not like him.
Setting aside what admiring someone might lead to, let's talk about liking.
To like someone is to keep them in your heart and cherish them carefully.
Since Zhu Hui did not like King, she naturally did not allow him to reside in her heart.
So she tried to drive King out of her heart.
Every morning when she opened her eyes, she would say to the person in her heart: "Go away."
Every night before closing her eyes to rest, she would also say to the person in her heart: "Go away."
Yet, by thinking of this person morning and night—
King did not leave; instead, he took root and sprouted in Sister Hui's heart!
This made her very distressed.
And yet, when she was tired from work or couldn't sleep and thought of him, Sister Hui would feel an indescribable sweetness.
Sometimes, while eating at home or watching TV, she would inexplicably space out and then smile foolishly.
Her mother said, "My Little Hui is in love."
"I am not!"
Thinking of her mother forcing her to bring a certain young man home last night, Sister Hui couldn't help but feel troubled and scratched the back of her head.
Then she clasped her hands together, closed her eyes, and prayed fervently towards the open department door: "Heaven, if you think that guy and I are a good match, then make him appear before me right now, immediately, and at once! If we are not a good match, then please completely format his image from my heart!"
To show her sincerity, Sister Hui prayed three times in a row.
After praying.
She slowly opened her eyes and looked towards the department door.
Then—
Sister Hui's mouth was half open, and she looked so silly that if anyone saw her, they would surely laugh at her for being a little fool.
She couldn't help but be stunned!
Because when Sister Hui opened her eyes, she actually saw King standing quietly at the door, looking at her!!
Although.
King's face was several pounds thinner than a few months ago, like a starving monkey.
But that unique aura of a habitual show-off still allowed Sister Hui to recognize him the moment their eyes met.
"Beauty."
King leaned against the doorframe with his arms crossed, a cigarette dangling from his lips.
He looked at Sister Hui and said indifferently, "Excuse me, do you have a boyfriend now? If not, I can recommend a high-quality human elite for you. The quality is guaranteed, with a warranty period of up to seventy years. All functional uses are automatic. And if you are not satisfied during your usage period, you can negotiate a return."
Zhu Hui blinked.
Coming to her senses.
She shot up, walked briskly to the door with an angry expression, and snatched the cigarette from King's mouth.
She reprimanded him unceremoniously, "No more smoking in the hospital from now on!"
Okay.
King nodded, then took out another cigarette and put it in his mouth.
Zhu Hui was furious and stomped heavily on his foot.
King winced—
Then he suddenly reached out, pulled the naive girl into his arms, and kissed her fiercely.
Hammer had once told Old Wang that women fear embraces, and girls fear kisses.
Huh?
It really is like that!
After an unknown amount of time, King slowly raised his head and looked down at the girl in his arms.
She had her eyes closed and her mouth slightly open, as if asking for more kisses. She looked particularly silly.
Yet, she was also incredibly adorable!!
King satisfied her.
After a good ten minutes, Sister Hui finally broke free from him and stumbled back to her desk as if drunk.
She picked up the receiver: "Security, security department? This is Zhu Hui from Logistics! I was just molested by a man. Hurry."
What?
Someone dared to come to Qianfan Hospital and molest Zhu Hui, one of Dean Su's favored individuals?
Wasn't that seeking death?
Several security guards from the security department immediately rushed over, itching for a fight.
But when they reached the door, they all quietly turned around and left.
A girl's words should never be trusted!
Zhu Hui, who was leaning against the desk, standing on her tiptoes and hooking her arms around a young man's neck, actively kissing him, was she being molested!?
Finally.
King asked, gasping for breath, "Why are you so proactive?"
Zhu Hui thought seriously and replied, "Kissing feels really good."
King immediately seized the opportunity, "Want to go see a movie tonight?"
Zhu Hui immediately shook her head, "No!"
King was confused—
Zhu Hui added, "Unless you kiss me a little longer."
That's easy!
King immediately perked up, his gaze fixed on Sister Hui's eyes, and he quickly lost himself in them.
The wind picked up outside.
But the room was warm.
The air was filled with the faint smell of disinfectant.
This is Dragon Ruins!!
In Yang Xiao's laboratory, Su Ziyu sat at a table, resting her cheeks on her hands, watching her grandmother busy herself.
Grandmother and granddaughter.
One standing, one sitting.
One moving, one still.
They remained silent, each engrossed in their own thoughts or actions, as if the other didn't exist.
Finally.
Yang Xiao personally poured a cup of hot water for her granddaughter-in-law and placed it in front of her.
"Thank you."
Su Ziyu, who had been letting her thoughts wander, instinctively thanked her after coming to her senses.
She asked, "Grandmother, why aren't you worried about Qianfan's safety?"
Before Yang Xiao could answer, Su Ziyu continued, "My father-in-law, Aunt Bai Hong, and others are all very worried. They've dispatched many people to Africa these past few days to find that War Demon God Hall. I also heard that Aunt Qin from Jin Ta Kingdom sent Third Young Master himself. And Athena from the War God Hall, Aunt Rou from Australia, and others are all busy looking for Qianfan."
Yang Xiao sat down opposite her granddaughter-in-law and asked, "Are you worried about him?"
This question—
It should have been superfluous!
Because from any perspective, Su Ziyu's worry for Li Qianfan would not be less than Li Wujiang's!!
However.
When Yang Xiao inexplicably asked this question, Su Ziyu hesitated.
She even thought about it seriously before shaking her head, "Grandmother. I don't know why, but I'm not worried about him at all."
Yang Xiao smiled, "I'm not worried about him either."
Su Ziyu asked, "Why?"
"Because you aren't worried about him."
Yang Xiao picked up her teacup and said calmly, "As long as I can be sure that you are safe by my side, Qianfan will be fine."
Su Ziyu frowned, genuinely confused about what was happening.
Yang Xiao looked up at the window and said, "After Qianfan was taken away by people from the War Demon God Hall, an old Taoist priest called me. That old Taoist priest told me that as long as you are safe, Qianfan will be safe. If you are restless and experience frequent accidents, then Qianfan will be in real danger."
Su Ziyu was startled and quickly asked, "Who was that old Taoist priest?"
"Some old scoundrel pretending to be a divine being, don't mind him."
Yang Xiao seemed unwilling to elaborate, and as she rubbed her shoulder, the phone rang.
It was Li Xiao calling, "Mom, we have a distinguished guest arriving, and they want to see Ziyu."
"Who?"
Yang Xiao asked.
Li Xiao replied, "Master Kong Kong."
