Ning Feng, on Margaret's side, was selfless, charitable, and generous in his donations... completely unaware of the crisis on the other side.
Bang!
Upon hearing Jiang Wan's words, Xilin couldn't hold back her expression and took a step back, looking at Jiang Wan, who was sitting with her knees drawn up, with a look of fear on her face.
His expression was one of pure joy.
Don't come any closer!
Don't mention that name!
I really don't want to hear it!
You're here to show off, aren't you? You must be here to show off, right?
Did you already find out and then deliberately try to make me angry?
Um?
Startled by Xilin's strong reaction, Jiang Wan gave her friend a strange look and said oddly:
Why are you reacting so strongly?
What are you afraid of?
Seeing the resistance in Xilin's eyes, Jiang Wan paused for a moment, then nodded knowingly and said:
"Oh, so that's how it is!"
Shirin: ? ? ?
What happened?
You understand now?
Explain yourself!
With a sorrowful expression, Jiang Wan looked at the wary Xilin with heartache and said sadly:
"Oh dear, I have told you about him many times before, but it's been two years since we last saw each other, so please bear with it a little longer."
"My teammates all loved listening to it! You're making me a little sad!"
So that's what you think!
But that's not what I wanted to say!
But Xilin couldn't bring herself to say it, after all, she was the one who let Jiang Wan in.
She was genuinely curious and wanted to know what Jiang Wan wanted to say to her at this moment.
Staying alert, Shireen asked, somewhat puzzled:
"...So what do you want to say?"
Jiang Wan dismissed her friend's reaction as a result of having heard it too many times before and developing a resistance to it. She coughed lightly and continued:
“Dr. Lin, we’ve known each other for a while now, so I understand some things.”
The fact that Dr. Lin could have such an office on the top floor, and the medicine that he had "taken" with Dr. Lin's tacit permission, meant that Dr. Lin was definitely not just a somewhat strange doctor.
“I know your identity is somewhat special, and you haven’t deliberately hidden it…”
"The promise you made to me back then, I think... it's time to put it to use."
With her expression composed, Xilin regained her composure when Jiang Wan finished speaking, switching back to her normal Dr. Lin mode.
"Have you thought it through?"
The two first met when Jiang Wan was about to be taken away, and Xilin, unable to bear it any longer, took the initiative to talk to her.
At that time, the witch on the top floor made a promise to the newly born angel who was still confused.
[Provide assistance within a reasonable scope.]
Let me know when you've thought it through.
Jiang Wan chose to preserve her options back then, but now she shamelessly wants to beg Dr. Lin for help.
"Um."
Xilin didn't feel embarrassed at all; it was something she had promised to do. She chuckled and said:
"Then tell me, if I can do it."
Jiang Wan slightly tightened her arms around her knees, trying to shrink herself completely, and whispered:
"I need your help..."
Taking a deep breath, her face filled with resentment, Jiang Wan still managed to utter her final words:
“...Protect Ning Feng.”
These words were difficult to say, but after Jiang Wan finished speaking, her tightly furrowed brows relaxed, and she seemed to have unloaded a huge psychological burden.
Conversely, Shirin, who had been smiling, gradually frowned.
Looking at Jiang Wan, she asked, somewhat puzzled:
"Why?"
It wasn't a question about why Jiang Wan would waste such a precious opportunity on this; Xilin could understand.
What's strange is that you chose to become stronger to protect him back then, but now you've chosen to beg others?
Jiang Wan understood what Xilin meant and said with her head down:
"I don't want to leave this to anyone else, but I... have no power."
“If he were an ordinary person, I would already have enough power to protect him.”
"But Ning Feng has successfully awakened. He will grow up quickly and it won't be long before he truly steps onto the battlefield and enters those dangerous places..."
"But right now, I don't have enough power."
As a warrior, Jiang Wan was not afraid of death, and she never retreated when facing enemies stronger than herself.
What is Jiang Wan afraid of?
What she feared was that even if she tried her best, or even sacrificed herself, she wouldn't be able to protect Ning Feng's future.
Therefore, after much agonizing and internal struggle, she chose to seek help from others.
However, no response was received.
"Let's choose another one."
But Jiang Wan was destined to be disappointed. After thinking for a moment, Xilin shook her head and sighed:
"I'm afraid this will disappoint you."
“I can’t promise you that I can stay by his side and protect him forever.”
She even seriously considered the feasibility of this, but in the end, Shirin could only regretfully say:
“Unless he never leaves here, I can guarantee that, but do you really think he can stay?”
Will someone with exceptional talent and a secret be forever confined to Bincheng, a place that is neither small nor large?
That's impossible.
Even if he wanted to stay, fate would push him away.
Moreover, based on Xilin's understanding of Ning Feng, she could read the flame of ambition in his eyes.
