After spending several days together, Xu Lin learned a lot about the dark street and even secretly vowed to take the little girl away.
But when he was off guard, the girl broke his leg...
Looking at his rapidly petrifying skin afterward, he said helplessly, "How boring. I should have just stabbed you in the heart. How could someone be so stupid?"
His question was: "Why do this?"
The girl replied with a smile, "It's so much fun!"
Seeing him frozen in shock, and knowing she couldn't hurt him, Xu Lin left. She despised herself; she was truly foolish…
However, this was not the end, as he struggled to survive in the dark streets.
One day she met the girl again. The girl was half-naked and running through the street crying for help.
A group of people were chasing after her, laughing and joking. No one dared to stop her. The girl was pushed to the ground, and a group of men surrounded her and assaulted her.
Xu Lin had already suffered many losses and didn't want to meddle in other people's business. Besides, he had a broken leg and couldn't save anyone.
But the girl cried and begged him to save her.
Those people became interested when they saw this, assuming they were a couple, and urged Xu Lin to come over and watch or even join in, otherwise they would make him suffer.
Xu Lin chose to take action, not because of the girl's pleas for help, but because this filth was incompatible with his values.
He couldn't beat them, but they couldn't hurt him either. Even when they were reckless, they still scared away a lot of people.
When the girl was put down, she showed no gratitude. Instead, taking advantage of his exhaustion, she petrified herself and pulled a knife toward his heart.
He laughed jokingly, "I told you, how could you be so stupid? It's hilarious!"
Xu Lin looked at her calmly: "It's not fun at all. People's hearts are not toys."
The girl was startled and quickly looked down at the dagger, but it had only pierced her clothes and hadn't drawn any blood.
Xu Lin reached out and grabbed the girl's neck, snapping it before saying, "I remember you said you wanted to stab my heart, so I won't give you the chance. Goodbye forever."
This was the first time Xu Lin had killed someone based on his own subjective will, and strangely, he didn't feel nauseous at all.
Those men who assault girls are actually in cahoots with them; they are people who have sunk into hell, taking pleasure in toying with the weak.
After that, they started causing trouble for Xu Lin every day. Xu Lin would run away if he couldn't beat them, and if he had the chance, he would fight back. They were constantly entangled with these people.
A hint of coldness gradually crept into his eyes; he thought he understood what Shen Yu wanted him to feel.
He struggled to survive in the dark streets, experiencing things he had never known before, while a pair of eyes watched Xu Lin's every move with a mixture of heartache and pride from the shadows.
How could Bai Luo possibly hide what Xu Lin was thinking? From the very first day, Bai Luo had been following him in the shadows, but she had never made a move.
She knew what Xu Lin wanted, and seeing him suffer, Bai Luo clenched her fists until they bled, wishing she could go out and tear those people apart.
But she didn't. Xu Lin wanted to grow, and as his girlfriend, she should have stood by him and encouraged him.
Besides, Xu Lin definitely didn't want her to see this disheveled state, so she wouldn't make a move.
She would wait until Xu Lin had completed his transformation, then stand before him and say, "Welcome back."
For several days in a row, I called Sangsang repeatedly and heard her gagging. Lin Changli was far away in Country C and felt very uneasy.
He needed to speed up the process of dealing with the mess; he missed Sangsang terribly.
Lying in bed at night, looking at Sangsang's photo and thinking about the many things they had been through together, he couldn't help but kiss the woman in the photo before closing his eyes.
Through the blur, he saw a pair of peach blossom eyes, but it wasn't Sangsang...
For some reason, he could only see the eyes; the body was blurry, and he couldn't tell how old the person was, but he felt a vague sense of closeness. He subconsciously felt that the person was a little one...
Lin Changli looked around calmly. The space was empty, but there was a faint echo of water.
This feeling is like being enveloped by a water sphere...
Their eyes met, and although they didn't say anything, he inexplicably sensed the aggrieved mood of the owner of the peach blossom eyes.
It seems like... hunger?
Hungry?
Lin Changli was stunned by this sensation. What did it mean? Was this a dream or something else?
He tried to take a step closer, and a pair of deep blue eyes opened. The space shattered instantly, and Lin Changli opened his eyes and sat up.
It was already morning, but he was still holding Sangsang's photo in his hand.
Lin Changli stood up and took a deep breath. This dream was very strange...
He has to go back to Sanchi; no, he can't wait any longer.
He entered the Presidential Palace early in the morning and later left with Si Yu, who was going to Sangqi to obtain a batch of gene drugs.
This world is in chaos. You need someone strong to accompany you on your journey, otherwise they'll rob you halfway through.
There is also the Nie family within Country C, but Nie Jingxing is very unscrupulous, and the price of Weisang is ten times that of Xinya.
Even so, there are still plenty of people willing to buy. Their country, C, is on good terms with the Sangqi Empire, so naturally they don't want to be taken advantage of.
The new shoots are also sold all over the world, but the production is very small and cannot supply all countries. The same is true for the mulberry.
With only two sources of supply, the world is scrambling to buy them, which shows just how sought-after gene therapy drugs are right now.
Since flights to and from various countries have long been grounded, the only way to get to Sanchi is by car, which is quite a long journey.
Seeing Lin Changli's less-than-ideal mood in the car, Si Yu asked curiously, "What's wrong with you? You're about to see your wife, why are you looking so grumpy instead of excited?"
Lin Changli turned around and asked, "What reasons would a woman have for not telling the father of her child if she is pregnant?"
Si Yu was speechless: "Seriously? You've been agonizing over this for half a year. If Sang really was pregnant, her belly would have been swollen by now. What are you thinking? Are you going crazy from wanting a child?"
"Stop talking nonsense and answer my question."
Si Yu said disdainfully, "Is that even a question? There are only two reasons: one is that you don't plan to get rid of it secretly, and the other is that the child isn't yours, so naturally you won't tell me."
Lin Changli, his face dark, slammed on the brakes: "Get out of the car."
Si Yu scoffed, "Fine, I'll quit. I'm ready to fight."
The two had a fierce fight, and only then did they feel better. They got back into the car and continued driving...
They bickered all the way to the territory of the Sangqi Empire, where someone received the news and soon someone came to pick them up.
When they saw Xu Lin again, they were both a little surprised. Was this person with a cold aura and a cold look in his eyes really the same goofy Xu Lin?
The white radish that was always with her was gone. She arranged everything with ease and accepted others' respectful bows without hesitation, without feeling embarrassed or arrogant.
He had completely changed in just six months. They were put in a car and headed straight for the center of the Empire.
Si Yu sized up Xu Lin for a moment, then raised an eyebrow and asked, "You went to Shen Yu's suggestion?"
"Yes, but it wasn't one month, it was three months. I spent a quarter of the year figuring out one thing."
"Kindness can't change things, but a butcher's knife can. You can become a Buddha by putting down the butcher's knife, but you can make others become Buddhas by picking up the butcher's knife. I will choose the latter in my future life."
