In the hospital, amidst the smell of disinfectant, Leng Yue opened her eyes.
Leng Yue looked at the Black and White Impermanence figures standing in front of the bed, blinked, and said, "I told you I could still be saved!"
Bai Wuchang looked at Leng Yue, "You can still see us?"
Leng Yue nodded, "Sure, but looking at you guys now, I think you're quite handsome."
Leng Yue hadn't noticed before, but now that she saw it clearly, she thought the Black and White Impermanence were actually quite good-looking. The White Impermanence wore a white Zhongshan suit, and the Black Impermanence wore a black Zhongshan suit; at first glance, they had the air of gentlemen from the Republican era.
Moreover, even those who become deities, even ghost deities, still possess divine status. Having divine status means having a formal official position; throughout history, in every dynasty, those who could become officials could not be ugly. Of course, Zhong Kui is an exception. Zhong Kui is exceptionally gifted, naturally suited to be a celestial master.
Regardless, the Black and White Impermanence weren't bad-looking. While not exceptionally handsome, they certainly had dignified features. Plus, having been ghost immortals for many years, their aura was naturally unmatched by ordinary people. Therefore, upon closer inspection, the two were indeed quite good-looking.
Black Impermanence didn't speak, but his lips twitched a few times.
White Impermanence grinned and said, "You haven't seen my brother and me with our long tongues. Once they come out, you definitely won't find them attractive!"
Leng Yue's face darkened. "Lord Bai, the moment you open your mouth, all your charisma vanishes, and I no longer find you handsome." Leng Yue's implication was that Bai Wuchang didn't even need to stick out his tongue; his handsome image was already completely destroyed.
"What? You're really not cute, little girl!" Bai Wuchang silently retracted his long tongue, his face full of displeasure.
"But now that you mention it, I do remember. Isn't this long tongue a standard accessory for Black and White Impermanence? Why aren't you showing it now?" Leng Yue didn't recognize them before because they didn't stick out their tongues.
"It's in the way, and we only bring it out on important occasions to save face," Bai Wuchang explained earnestly.
Leng Yue stared in disbelief, "There's such a thing?"
Upon hearing this, Bai Wuchang wanted to continue chatting with Leng Yue. However, Hei Wuchang pulled him away, leaving without looking back with the words, "Take good care of yourself," before disappearing through the wall with Bai Wuchang.
Looking at the smooth wall, Leng Yue wondered what the wall-passing technique was like. Just as she was about to get out of bed to check the wall, the door to the ward opened.
Leng Yue and the newcomer stared at each other, the newcomer's hand on the ward door, unsure whether to close it and leave or push it open and come in. Leng Yue, on the other hand, was unsure whether to put down the blanket she was halfway lifting or continue.
"You've arrived?" "You're awake?" Leng Yue and the newcomer asked in unison.
"I'll go get the doctor!" The person hesitated for a moment, gave an awkward laugh, and then pushed open the door and left.
Leng Yue wanted to call out to the person who came and tell them to just press the call button by the bed, but she didn't have time. Leng Yue thought for a moment, put down the blanket she was holding, and obediently lay back down on the hospital bed. Information began to flood her mind.
The person who came was the original owner's father, but because the original owner had grown up with her mother, she wasn't very familiar with her father. The two weren't exactly strangers; they were like strangers who knew each other.
The original owner was from a single-parent family and grew up with her mother. A year ago, her mother died in a car accident, and her father took her in.
The original owner's father had remarried long ago and had a half-sister with her. The original owner didn't like her father's family; she actually preferred to live alone in the one-bedroom apartment her mother left her.
However, the original owner's father did not agree, and the original owner's mother was an orphan with no other relatives or friends to entrust with taking care of the original owner. Perhaps the original owner's mother had long anticipated this day, which is why she had never lost contact with the original owner's father over the years.
After receiving the news, the original owner's father rushed over from another city. After handling the original owner's mother's funeral, he transferred the original owner to a different school and brought her to live in this city.
This wasn't the first time the original owner had lived with her father. When her mother was alive, she would occasionally come to stay for a few days during holidays. However, the original owner always treated it as a task, not something she genuinely wanted to do.
The original owner never knew how to get along with her father's family. It wasn't a matter of liking or disliking them; they were genuinely unfamiliar with each other. This unfamiliarity stemmed from an invisible and intangible barrier between them.
"Yueyue, you...you scared Auntie to death!" This was Wang Qing, the original owner's father's second wife, whom the original owner called Auntie. Upon seeing Leng Yue awake, she was overjoyed and burst into tears. She wanted to hug Leng Yue but dared not approach.
"Sister, don't die." The original owner's younger sister, Leng Xiaoyan, is ten years old this year. She is a clever and cute little girl.
"Pah, pah, pah! What do you mean by death? Children say the darndest things, children say the darndest things!" Upon hearing Leng Xiaoyan's words, Wang Qing's expression changed, and she quickly covered Leng Xiaoyan's mouth.
Leng Xiaoyan pried her mother's hand away and hid next to her father, crying, "Daddy, save me! Daddy, save me!"
The original owner's father, Leng Jian, stopped Wang Qing with a smile, "Alright, alright, Xiao Yanzi is still young, don't make a big deal out of nothing."
Leng Xiaoyan hid behind Leng Jian and made faces at Wang Qing. Wang Qing was so angry that she wanted to grab her again, but Leng Jian always stopped her.
Wang Qing was furious. "Are you two teaming up to annoy me? Just you wait, I'll teach you a lesson when we get home!"
Watching the three of them playfully bickering, Leng Yue seemed to understand the original owner's situation. That family of three was the real, close-knit family; while they were fooling around and playing, Leng Yue felt completely like an outsider.
Leng Yue was originally an outsider, so this thought was naturally correct. But the original owner of this body had two relatives among these three people: her father and her blood-related sister. However, these two relatives were part of a group with only one other person, while she felt completely out of place.
Given the original owner's restless adolescence, it's understandable that she would have moments of confusion and bewilderment when faced with such a situation. Perhaps that's why she climbed to the rooftop before the cold moon arrived?
However, speaking of this, Leng Yue had no memory of the original owner climbing to the rooftop, nor did she remember how she fell from there. How strange!
"Lie still and don't move, let me examine you." Just then, the doctor arrived.
Leng Yue lay there obediently, without saying a word.
After examining Leng Yue, the doctor put away his stethoscope and asked her a few more questions, which she answered one by one. After the doctor finished asking the questions, he took out a pen and began to take notes.
"Doctor, how is my daughter?" Leng Jian asked as soon as the doctor finished his examination.
Without looking up, the doctor said, "He's fine now. Luckily, the floor wasn't high, and the canopy cushioned the fall. There was no internal organ damage, and his brain is normal. He should be able to be discharged after a few more days of observation." After saying that, the doctor checked on the patient in the next bed.
"Thank you, doctor." Leng Jian and Wang Qing thanked the doctor.
"Yueyue, did you hear that? You'll be discharged soon." Leng Jian breathed a sigh of relief. "That's great! Thank goodness you're alright, otherwise how would I explain it to your mother?"
Seeing that Leng Yue's expression was not good, Wang Qing tugged at him, "Husband, stop talking, let Yueyue rest."
"Yes, yes, then you get some rest. Call me if you need anything." After saying that, Leng Jian left with Wang Qing and Leng Xiaoyan.
The three of them left the ward and started discussing where to have lunch. Leng Yue sighed. Did none of the three of them remember that she hadn't eaten either?
