Volume 9 – Chapter 24: Withered And Prosperous, A Sinful Life (Part 3)

Qian Xiu said in amazement, “You knew?”

The little mage said, “It’s because I had tried and found someone to take the bait down for me, but he was chased by the carp king and ran around and died many times. Later I realized that the carp king can only be caught with a fishing rod.”

Qian Xiu was taken aback for a moment, then looked at LQ Little Mage. After a long time, he suddenly laughed, “Really? That’s it? It’s been... always, it turned out to be like this!”

“Hope he will take the bait.” The little mage also smiled slightly.

“What are you both talking about? Why don’t I understand?” Thousand Delicate Feathers intervened between the two, looking back and forth. Like a frightened and scared rabbit, she directly hugged Qian Xiu’s arm and looked at the little mage with hostility.

She also shone the ring on her hand deliberately... Of course, she did not think this little mage would notice the ring and just did it.

Qian Xiu just smiled and said nothing.

The little mage suddenly put down the fishing rod in his hand and stood up.

System prompt: Player LQ asks you to inherit the mission ‘Fishing of the Golden Carp King.’ Do you want to inherit?

This was the sound that echoed in Qian Xiu’s head. He opened his eyes in amazement and moved his lips, “Why?”

“Just treat it as... your wedding gift.” The little mage smiled and said. “Although it is said that it is an impossible mission, I hope you don’t mind.”

“What about you? After working hard for such a long time, you suddenly gave up. Isn’t it a pity?” Qian Xiu frowned.

“Me?” The little mage shook his head. “I’m just passing the time. If I don’t do this mission, there are many things I can do.”

Qian Xiu thought for a while, then nodded, “Then, I’ll accept it. If I can catch it, I will let you know.”

“Waiting for your good news.”

In this way, the little mage left the two of them, walked out of the bridge, walked over the long piece of mud used to dig earthworms, and then disappeared into the forest.

Qian Xiu picked up the fishing rod on the ground and looked at it in silence.

“Are you going to do this mission?” Thousand Delicate Feathers asked curiously. “It’s impossible to complete it.”

“Just treat it as... the atonement.” Qian Xiu gave the answer softly, but after seeing Thousand Delicate Feathers’ small movements, he could not help but frown, “What do you want to do...?”

“Buying all-purpose fishing baits from the mall instead. Otherwise, you expect me to dig up, earthworms?” said Thousand Delicate Feathers. “It really can be caught by hand! It’s not pixelated! It’s disgusting... brother!”

Qian Xiu knocked her head fiercely, “I said before. Don’t simply buy things!!”

...

Hospital, observation ward.

Facing the mirror in front of him, Lan Kai quietly looked at Lan Xiaorou, who was lying inside, as if she was asleep.

Xin Yue was by his side, and she was folding a paper crane right now.

Lan Kai suddenly sighed, “Xin Yue, did you think that she has been unconscious since then, or is she in her dream?”

“I don’t know.” Xin Yue shook her head. “We can only think about the good... Only Xiaorou herself knows the answer.”

With that said, Xin Yue put the folded paper cranes on the table here – There were already quite a few paper cranes here.

Lan Kai shook his head and said, “The doctor said that she might not wake up this lifetime, and she won’t be able to see these if you do so much. Isn’t it unnecessary?”

Xin Yue laughed and said, “You say I do unnecessary things all day long. Isn’t it ironic? Don’t you also do some unnecessary things yourself?”

Lan Kai snorted coldly, “I never did.”

Xin Yue stood up straight, reached out to touch Lan Kai’s lips, and sighed, “Lan’s Group is engaged in the production of large-scale equipment... This has nothing to do with the medical business, right? But, you have since taken over the business. After that, why did you suddenly want to invest in the medical business? You also cooperated with the hospital to open such a sanatorium?”

“Enterprises need to be transformed and can’t become like deadwood.” Lan Kai shook his head, looking away to the other side.”Your family is also running a business. Don’t you understand this fundamental?”

“I’m just a little woman. I don’t understand the principles of doing business.” Xin Yue tapped Lan Kai on the forehead. “But, you want other hospitals to focus their research on the nervous system, and even plan to cooperate with foreign countries on creating a prosthetic which has nerves. What is the purpose of the project?”

“Who told you?” Lan Kai frowned and said solemnly. “Is it Xiao Li? I’ll go back and give him a good scolding! The secretary is not behaving like a secretary!”

Xin Yue stretched out her hand and knocked Lan Kai’s forehead again, and said, “It’s because of your overbearing nature, I am about to become a petitioner for your employees, okay? They come to my piano classroom to complain to me. They felt better, but they were interrupting my piano lessons!”

“I...” Lan Kai hesitated to speak, finally sighed, shook his head, and said. “Well, I will pay more attention now.”

“Is there nothing else but pay more attention?” Xin Yue’s face was still tense.

Lan Kai said resignedly, “Well, what else? Can you tell me so that I can change it?”

Xin Yue said softly, “Don’t you think you should be kind to yourself?”

Lan Kai trembled slightly, looking at Lan Xiao Rou in front of the bed, and put his hand on the glass in front of him, “If I didn’t resist at the beginning... Will they already be alive in their corner of the world? ”

“I don’t know.” Xin Yue shook her head.

Lan Kai sighed, “After Xiao Rou’s situation has completely stabilized, send her to the sanatorium.”

“Really?” Xin Yue looked at Lan Kai in surprise.

Lan Kai nodded silently, “Don’t let more tragedies happen. Send Xiaorou and Lan Xiu’s brother in the bedroom to the sanatorium.”

“That’s good.”

Lan Kai grabbed Xin Yue’s hand and said, “By the way, should you consider marrying me?”

Xin Yue took out her hand and backed away, “No.”

“Why?” Lan Kai asked inexplicably.

“Think about it now. It seems that you haven’t pursued me properly, have you? I have been wasted many years by your uncertainty. You want me to marry you with just one word? How can that be so cheap?” With that said, Xin Yue opened the door and walked out.

Lan Kai immediately chased up her, “Wait, who said I didn’t pursue you? From junior high school to high school to university, I have been pursuing you, okay? Xin Yue! Xin Yue! Go to the movies tonight?”

“No—way!”

“Xin Yue!! Wait for me!”

“No—way!”

...

The wind blew apart the curtains. A pair of man and woman lay side by side in the beds in a sanatorium in the suburbs.

All were very clean.

That is because it was well taken care of here.

The club’s maid was changing the vase in front of the windowsill with fresh roses, while Boss Luo was standing between the two hospital beds.

“If... the order of humankind is broken and becomes chaotic again, or the existing ethics are no longer suitable for the development of the world, can it also be overthrown and abandoned? Then, can we create new ethics and order without being limited to the so-called etiquette, the current morality, the established relationship between people?”

The rose flower spread out under You Ye’s hands and became a beautiful form. The maid who heard this turned around and saw Luo Qiu shake his head, “This proposition is difficult.”

The maid said, “Well... There was a so-called rule in ancient times in the East – the most important figure after gods, lords, and parents is the teacher. Now, lords are no longer there.”

“That’s a long, long time ago.” Luo Qiu smiled, then walked to the nightstand between the two beds and put a small picture frame on the cabinet.

“Then, I will return the things entrusted to me to you... my dear guests.”

...

Only he and she were sleeping in the ward of the nursing home.

The wind was still toying with the light curtain in front of the window, and the soft gauze cast shadows of roses on the vase.

In the photo, he was hugging her intimately... Who would think that he and she were such a pair of lovers who loved each other so deeply?

PS: This is a story, ‘as long as there is love, there is no problem even if it is (crossed out)’... so be it.
