Chapter 785 - 785: Hope You Won't Need It

Five more minutes passed, and Du Qingyue's gaze towards Wang Yanmin was filled with admiration.

Because for nearly twenty minutes, Wang Yanmei's mouth never stopped, and she didn't even take a sip of tea.

Although Zheng Wei didn't say a word, her enthusiasm was undiminished, as if she had endless things to talk about.

"You keep sitting, I'm going back inside." Du Qingyue admitted defeat, got up, and walked towards the house.

Xiao Feng didn't feel anything was wrong, just purely bored.

A topic hadn't even started before it was immediately switched to another, like looking at the scenery from a high-speed train window, beautiful but only fleeting.

Thinking about it, he got up and went out, heading towards Zhao Guo'an's house next door.

Since Lin Jiaxuan recovered, he hadn't seen her yet.

After all, she was his servant girl, and it was only right and proper to visit her.

As soon as he reached outside, he saw Lin Jiaxuan learning to walk with crutches, supported by Lin Zhiyan.

"Jiaxuan, it's rehabilitation training, huh." Xiao Feng greeted warmly.

Lin Jiaxuan frowned and walked towards the house on her crutches.

Xiao Feng quickly followed, displeased: "Jiaxuan, I did save you, right? Is this how you treat your savior?"

"I didn't ask you to save me!" Lin Jiaxuan retorted equally displeased.

After saying that, she bit her lip and went into the house on her crutches.

Xiao Feng rubbed his chin, his intuition telling him that Lin Jiaxuan's mood seemed not aimed at him?

As he was pondering, he suddenly heard Lin Zhiyan say, "I'm leaving."

"Leaving?" Xiao Feng was stunned: "Where are you going?"

"The American region." Lin Zhiyan gave a very vague answer.

Xiao Feng pondered for a moment, a flash of understanding appearing in his eyes: "You're going to find the one who gave you the ring?"

Lin Zhiyan slowly nodded: "No matter what, he did save my life. Whether or not to repay him, I can't not at least express my thanks."

"The difference is real, that's the difference." Xiao Feng shook his head and sighed, lamenting: "The same life-saving grace, at least you know to be grateful, but your sister?

Comparing the two, it really chills the heart!"

Even though she knew Xiao Feng was joking, Lin Zhiyan still explained: "She's in a bad mood because I told her I was leaving."

Xiao Feng lowered his eyes and soon lifted them again, asking: "Are you planning to come back?"

"Yes." Lin Zhiyan nodded: "I'll definitely come back."

Xiao Feng continued to ask: "Have you thought about how to thank your savior when you meet him? You're not planning to offer yourself, are you?"

Lin Zhiyan opened her mouth but hadn't spoken when Xiao Feng continued: "Wait! Don't answer yet, I need to find something to hold onto."

With that, he actually ran to the wall and steadied himself against it with one hand.

"Okay, you can speak now." Xiao Feng said.

Lin Zhiyan suddenly had a forehead full of black lines: "What do you mean by that?"

"I have a bad heart and can't handle too much excitement. Without something to hold onto, I'm afraid I'll just collapse later."

"Are you saying..." Lin Zhiyan blushed slightly, whispering: "My answer can affect your heart?"

Xiao Feng replied without hesitation: "Of course, go ahead, I'm waiting for your answer."

"Alright." Lin Zhiyan was both crying and laughing, adjusted her expression, and replied: "Honestly, I never thought about offering myself.

This trip is just to relax, and see if there's anything I can do to help my savior.

Is this answer acceptable?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Xiao Feng covered his chest with one hand, supported the wall with the other, and slowly squatted down, seemingly very upset: "You... you never thought of offering yourself?"

Lin Zhiyan's expression cooled: "Is the answer you want to hear that I would offer myself?"

"What else?" Xiao Feng said matter-of-factly: "Someone saved your life, offering yourself is nothing.

According to your logic, all the times I saved you before were in vain?"

"..." Lin Zhiyan.

Xiao Feng stopped joking, walked over, and asked: "When are you planning to leave?"

"Tonight's flight."

"That soon?" Xiao Feng was surprised: "Aren't you waiting for your sister to get a bit better before you leave?"

Lin Zhiyan smiled bitterly: "As long as I'm around, she'll never get better.

I saw her this morning, she could walk for a few minutes without crutches, but as long as I'm nearby, she struggles even with crutches.

I know she doesn't want me to leave, but this is a knot in my heart that I must resolve soon."

Xiao Feng nodded, did not try to persuade her to stay, but instead walked into the house, pulling Sun Shijie out the door.

…

Winter days are always short.

In the twilight, Lin Zhiyan left with a travel bag on her back.

She refused everyone who wanted to see her off, her face hidden from the setting sun, only her silhouette was visible.

Looking back at the empty street, Lin Zhiyan smiled: "Didn't show up? That's good too."

Though she said so, her face smiling, somehow a sense of indescribable loneliness arose in her heart.

After waiting for a moment, Lin Zhiyan turned to leave.

But just then, a familiar and long-awaited voice came from behind: "Wait a minute!"

Lin Zhiyan's fists clenched instantly. She strongly suspected Xiao Feng was doing it on purpose, but remembering she was leaving, she couldn't be angry anymore.

"No need to see me off, I can go by myself." Lin Zhiyan said with a smile.

Xiao Feng, expressionless, said: "Don't flatter yourself, okay? I never said I was sending you off."

"You!" Lin Zhiyan was instantly furious, ready to leave indignantly.

She had just taken two steps when a gust of wind swept by, and her wrist was grabbed.

"Take this bag of stuff, I hope you don't need it." Xiao Feng said as he handed over a box.

Lin Zhiyan couldn't help but be curious, being given something and hoping she wouldn't need it?

"Can I open it now?" she tentatively asked.

"Suit yourself."

With permission, Lin Zhiyan opened the box to find not some legendary weapon, but small porcelain bottles.

"There's hemostatic, for healing external injuries, and for headaches, colds, fevers." Xiao Feng explained: "Each bottle has a label, it's clearly written, you can find what you need when the time comes."

"So...you spent all afternoon with the miracle doctor Sun preparing this?"

"I didn't want to." Xiao Feng helplessly spread his hands: "But with your skills, it's hard not to worry, better safe than sorry."

A complex expression flitted across Lin Zhiyan's eyes, this guy clearly cared about her, so why did he have to say things that upset her?

"I counted, there's one type of medicine not prepared." Xiao Feng said.

"What medicine?"

"Intelligence medicine." Xiao Feng pointed to his head and said: "When you're out and about, keep your wits about you, don't end up being trafficked."

"Thanks, my intelligence is fine." Lin Zhiyan replied with a dark face, putting the box into her backpack.

Xiao Feng didn't mind, walked over, and opened his arms: "You're leaving, how about a farewell hug?"
