Time passed by unnoticed, and Jiang Wan only stopped talking when she received a tentative text message from her teammates.
Jiang Wan smiled brightly at the tombstone, as if she were smiling at her family members who had been silently watching over them.
She said:
"I am very happy with him."
"Mom and Dad, Uncle and Aunt, I'm leaving now."
Without lingering reluctance, Jiang Wan turned and left, leaving the four tombstones to remain hidden in the deserted woods.
Just as the tombstone was about to disappear from sight, Jiang Wan stopped and raised her right hand.
She loosened her clenched fist, opened the badge in her palm, and then took out another badge from her pocket and put it together.
Both badges depict eyeless ravens and are essentially identical in size.
However, one of them gleamed with the luster of brass, while the other...
It shimmers with a dazzling gold.
The trees in the forest blocked the sunlight, casting shadows of their leaves onto Jiang Wan's face.
It seems unpredictable.
Turning back, Jiang Wan gazed at the four tombstones, their surfaces weathered by the shadows cast by the trees, and murmured to herself:
"You...you really have..."
The increasingly soft words disappeared into the wind.
Jiang Wan clasped her hands together, gripping the two badges tightly, and strode away without looking back.
...
...
"Sister Wan has read the message but hasn't replied."
Chu Yu's expression was serious. He held his phone for a moment, thought for a moment, and then hesitated before saying:
"Do you think they might be unable to answer the phone? Should I just not call them?"
It would be bad if I disturbed them while they were exercising or something.
"It's already noon, morning exercise should be over by now, it can't be that late!"
Yun Shuchang showed no signs of a hangover, and energetically encouraged him:
"You should think the worst. What if she's in danger and doesn't have time to reply to messages?"
"If you contact her now, you'll be saving her!"
With a complicated expression, Chu Yu looked at Yun Shuchang speechlessly, hesitated for a moment before speaking:
"Sister Yun, I'm not young anymore, could you..."
Please show me some respect... don't treat me like a fool and try to scam me, okay?
Be careful, or I might not even give you half a bottle next time!
Tsk.
Clicking her tongue, Yun Shuchang sighed helplessly, leaned back against Margaret's shoulder, and muttered:
"The kids are all grown up, they're not so easy to fool anymore, it's not fun anymore."
What a pity!
"Speaking of which, Captain, what do you think we should do if Ning Feng wants to join our team for a short period of time?"
Margaret, lost in thought, was jolted back to reality by the impact, halting yet another failed attempt to activate her bloodline.
After a moment's thought, her brows furrowed slightly.
Yun Shuchang's conjecture was not unfounded.
Their team is currently one player short, and normally someone will fill in for them for a period of time.
Although Ning Feng's strength is not enough, the three of them are enough. Carrying the younger sister or brother to rank up should not be a problem.
Moreover, if Jiang Wan were to apply herself, they wouldn't be able to refuse.
It's fine in the short term, but if Ning Feng stays for a long time, it will become somewhat awkward.
If Margaret has no chance of recovery as before, she will readily agree to this arrangement.
But given the current situation, she is unwilling to give up on the team and her teammates.
"Sister Wan wouldn't do that."
Chu Yu then spoke calmly, drawing the attention of both of them.
Nodding firmly, Chu Yu said matter-of-factly:
“She can’t let that happen. If that day ever comes… she’ll probably choose to leave the team herself.”
Slightly saddened, she lowered her eyes slightly and whispered:
"That's just the kind of person she is. Even if you have a good relationship with someone, she will never think of causing trouble for them."
It has always been like this.
Margaret and Yun Shuchang exchanged a glance, then simultaneously sighed softly.
...
...
Lifted up by a gentle force, Ning Feng was delivered to the door without any resistance.
"Okay, see you later then."
Now that things had come to this, continuing to pester him wasn't a good option, so Ning Feng could only laugh helplessly and wave at Xilin, who was watching him make a fool of himself with a slight smile.
Please remember to think of me.
puff.
Ning Feng heard what sounded like suppressed laughter coming from the other side, but it was too far away for him to hear clearly, and the next second he was thrown out.
winter.
Clang.
The whole process—throwing it out, landing it, and closing the door—was completed in one smooth motion.
"Ha, women."
One second they're showering each other with sweet words, the next they're throwing the person out.
That's so cruel.
Ning Feng gently patted off imaginary dust from his body, nodded slightly to the door, and waved goodbye.
He knew the other person could definitely see it.
"cough."
Just as Ning Feng was about to turn around, he heard a soft cough.
Turning around, I saw a figure standing at the end of the corridor, looking at me.
Yan Rulong.
His expression looked somewhat confused, hesitant, and complicated.
His expression was like that of a middle manager who had just seen their own nephew or niece inexplicably getting together with a senior executive at the company.
The confusion was mixed with disbelief.
However, this is not all.
Nodding to Ning Feng, Yan Rulong's tone was slightly heavy.
He said:
"Ning Feng, come here for a moment, I have something to tell you."
"About your teammates."
