Nine Lives, Nine Worlds of Tribulation

Memories are like ever-blooming stone flowers, yet only the self believes them to be eternal. Ultimately, what they bring is the ruthlessness of reincarnation; perhaps no one will wait this time.

Chapter 519 Let's Talk

It was lunchtime, and the hospital cafeteria was packed with people. Lin Momo, Yan Xiyue, and Hua Yuxian felt somewhat uncomfortable in the crowd.

"Um, how about we eat out? It's on me," Lin Momo suggested.

Gu Liyan suddenly smiled and said, "There are many people here, which makes it easier to pass on messages."

Everyone looked at Gu Liyan with puzzled expressions: "What message are you trying to convey?"

Suddenly, a gaze fell upon Gu Liyan from the crowd, and someone exclaimed in surprise, "Mo Li!"

Everyone turned to look at the sound:

Where is Mo Li?

"Is it really Mo Li?"

"Ah! It's Mo Li, he's so handsome!"

Hua Baixian calmly walked past the crowd, supporting Gu Liyan's wheelchair. She seemed to be used to this scene. However, Lin Momo and the other two girls behind her wished they could disappear into the ground. They were really uncomfortable with so many eyes on them.

A crowd gradually gathered, and like gossipy reporters, they bombarded each other with questions:

"Mo Li, are you feeling better?"

How did you get out of that escape room?

"Mo Li, could you please sign your autograph?"

Gu Liyan smiled gently and said, "Thank you all for your concern. I'm fine now and will be recuperating here for a while. I'll organize a rehabilitation autograph session here after I'm discharged, and I'll let everyone know then. Also, a friendly reminder: it's mealtime now, so please don't neglect your meals because of me. Otherwise, I won't be able to eat or sleep well either."

Everyone burst into laughter. Mo Li's approachable manner made them like her even more. Someone posted the video of Gu Liyan speaking online, creating a new wave of headlines.

However, more people are focused on the information about the four women behind Gu Liyan, with more than one person commenting: "Mo Liyan is keeping four beauties in a golden house."

However, shortly after the news was released, the video was hacked and completely deleted. Lin Momo secretly handled this by making a phone call, as she and Yan Xiyue's identities were not convenient to disclose.

As for his purpose in coming to the cafeteria, Gu Liyan had always had a plan. Ostensibly, he came to eat, but secretly, he wanted Xuan Tiandao to see that he was still alive!

Hua Baixian was in charge of taking orders, and soon plates of food were placed on the table. The dishes were all vegetarian and very light.

Gu Liyan and Hua Baixian ate with relish, but Lin Momo and the other two women found it difficult to swallow. No matter how they behaved, thousands of eyes were watching their every move, making them uneasy.

They simply couldn't understand why Gu Liyan chose to dine in such a crowded place. Wasn't he afraid he wouldn't be able to eat? What was even more unacceptable was that Hua Baixian was completely different from them; it was quite surprising that she could tolerate it.

After Gu Liyan finished eating, seeing that Lin Momo and the other two girls hadn't touched their chopsticks, he immediately asked, "Aren't you eating?"

“I’ve already eaten,” Hua Yuxian said coldly.

"Yes, we've eaten." Lin Momo and Yan Xiyue nodded in agreement.

Gu Liyan smiled and took their food over, saying, "It would be a waste if they didn't finish it."

The three women looked at Gu Liyan in surprise, not expecting him to finish the food in one bite.

Gu Liyan's actions also caught the attention of some people, once again refreshing everyone's perception of him:

Exclusive scoop: Mo Li unlocks a new skill – gluttony!

"One person eats a four-person meal, and a new generation of Lay's is born?"

How could anyone understand Gu Liyan's good intentions? He knew that his stomach ulcer would be discovered, and if he didn't cover it up, it would affect his future work. In addition, he knew that many enemies might be waiting for him in the future, so he felt that he couldn't easily expose his weakness.

Hua Baixian looked at Gu Liyan with concern and whispered, "Little Li, everyone's watching. Isn't it bad to eat so much? Besides, your stomach—"

Gu Liyan waved his hand to interrupt Hua Baixian, then leaned close to Hua Baixian's ear and said, "The matter of the stomach ulcer cannot be revealed."

Hua Baixian nodded in understanding, finished her meal, and left the cafeteria under everyone's watchful eyes.

"Shall we go to the park?" Hua Baixian asked gently, pushing the wheelchair.

Gu Liyan smiled and held Hua Baixian's hand tenderly, saying, "If there are flowers in the park, we can go take a look. I just don't know if you'd be willing to dance a Flower Goddess Dance for me..."

Hua Baixian blushed slightly and looked shyly at Gu Liyan—the three women behind her looked at them with disdain as they showed their affection.

"Lin Momo!" Yan Xiyue looked at Lin Momo with a serious expression.

Lin Momo was startled and thought to herself: What's wrong with this older sister now? She immediately asked, "W-what's wrong?"

Yan Xiyue looked at Lin Momo with a serious expression and said, "Why don't you go learn to dance too!"

"Huh?!" Lin Momo exclaimed in surprise, "No matter how much I learn to dance, I can't dance as well as Sister Flower Goddess! Besides, shouldn't you be the one learning this kind of thing?"

Yan Xiyue glared at Lin Momo, "I don't have time to study, I still have to play mahjong with Alice!"

Lin Momo was speechless upon hearing this.

Hua Yuxian glanced coldly at Yan Xiyue and said, "Besides dancing, Hua Baixian's best skill is seducing men! If you let Lin Momo learn to dance, it's to make her seduce men!"

Upon hearing this, Yan Xiyue hurriedly pulled Lin Momo aside and whispered, "Then you'd better not go and learn it."

Lin Momo looked at Yan Xiyue with a mix of amusement and exasperation. This girl's expression changed faster than flipping through a book!

The flowers in the garden have mostly withered and faded, and the area is now largely overgrown with weeds, making it look quite desolate.
