Chapter 78
Lin Zhong felt that Jian Xin was not very good.
Three days, a full three days!
Three days, and only then did she call Yan Lu out of the house to save her!
On the first and second day, Jian Xin had actually been a duck over there with peace of mind, and it wasn’t until she woke up on the third day and found that she hadn’t gone home that she started to get anxious.
To be honest, if she hadn’t seen it with her own eyes, Lin Zhong would have really found it hard to imagine that a person could be so big-hearted.
If you say she’s not afraid of death, her anxious look seems to suggest that she really is.
If you say she’s afraid of death? She had been a duck very peacefully for the past two days.
Forget it, I don’t want to complain.
As a god, what kind of human have I not seen? I have to look at the world peacefully, understand the world with tolerance, and even more so, respect the diversity of species.
The moment she was put on the ambulance, Lin Zhong left her body and sat on the side, looking at the dazed-looking duck in Yan Lu’s arms, and besides sighing, there was still sighing.
She could smell worry, heartache, nervousness, a daze, and a deep anxiety.
Not a good smell, not a good smell.
Ever since she had mixed into Yan Lu’s house, she hadn’t smelled a good smell very often!
Lin Zhong sighed heavily in her heart and told herself that it was almost over—with this wave of a self-harming trick between these two, their relationship would definitely advance by leaps and bounds!
So she chose the most appropriate time and pulled Jian Xin back into her own body.
Jian Xin’s body was too weak at this moment. Although she couldn’t open her eyes, she could definitely feel Yan Lu always by her side, gently rubbing the hand that was cold from the IV drip.
Although she was in the hospital at this moment, a faint sweetness still lingered in the air.
On these two people, it was a very rare smell.
Alright, alright! It’s not good for a soul to be out of its body for too long. I should go back to my own body and rest for a while, and then see tomorrow!
With this thought, Lin Zhong returned to the little duck’s body and slept in a small cage that the hospital had found from somewhere.
In the early morning, Yan Lu took the little duck back home, set an alarm, and slept lightly for a few hours, then hurried to the hospital early again.
Lin Zhong was woken up by this noise and followed her all the way, yawning.
Just as they arrived at the hospital, Yan Lu was buying breakfast outside, and Lin Zhong went upstairs first to check the situation.
Just one glance, and she almost laughed away all her merits from these past few years.
Lin Zhong smelled the smell of doubting life.
It was a deep confusion that was almost on the verge of losing reason.
She saw Jian Xin just come out of the bathroom with a dazed expression, and then she turned her head back with a surprised expression, the degree of shock on her face no less than hearing a math expert suddenly announce that 1+1 actually equals 10086.
To be ashamed to say, because she felt that her period was really troublesome, she had used a spell to pause it.
Lin Zhong considered herself a very kind god.
Although she had already left Jian Xin’s body, the other person had not yet gone home, and she was too embarrassed to suddenly remove the spell and let her bleed all over the hospital.
The result of her embarrassment was that Jian Xin, who had finally accepted that she would always turn into a duck, was at this moment once again doubting her life—because the period that had made her faint from pain had disappeared out of thin air!
Lin Zhong could imagine that Jian Xin must be very confused, but she didn’t dare to tell anyone, afraid of being treated as a mental patient.
Humans are like this. Every time she had used a soul-swapping technique in the past and had caused some messy accidents, the person involved had not dared to make a sound.
Everyone is afraid of being treated as an outcast, so when they encounter this kind of thing that is hard to explain to others, most people will choose to hide it.
Anyway, no matter how much you doubt your life, you still have to live.
So after Jian Xin had confirmed that her period had really disappeared, she returned to the hospital room in a daze and started to be in a daze.
A short while later, Yan Lu brought breakfast.
The atmosphere between the two of them was inexplicably subtle, and Lin Zhong didn’t quite understand.
In her imagination, Yan Lu should have been convinced that Jian Xin really cared about her because of this incident, and thus, while being moved, she would have greatly increased the sense of security that was missing in her heart!
After all, in Lin Zhong’s eyes, Yan Lu was really like a love-struck person who would cry for love, and was just lacking a sense of security and was prone to being awkward.
But the reality was a little different from her imagination.
These two had actually had a fight, and not long after they got home, they had had a fierce verbal conflict, and Yan Lu had said very harsh words.
Her words were full of the sentence, “This kind of you makes me feel scared!”
Lin Zhong was stunned as she listened on the side, and she even once suspected that she had done a bad thing with good intentions, and with a series of confident operations, she had completely ruined this broken relationship.
Just as she was thinking about whether she should quickly kidnap Jian Xin and stop this dispute that might turn into a big deal, Jian Xin had also given a response that had surprised her.
It was very magical. They had had a fight, and it was so loud that Lin Zhong’s head started to hurt.
But in the end, with a turn of the conversation, Jian Xin had directly told the truth about turning into a duck, and with a move of retreating to advance, she had blocked Yan Lu’s retreat.
Lin Zhong opened her mouth and silently gave Jian Xin a thumbs up on the side.
Not bad, really not bad. She had thought that Jian Xin didn’t have this brain—she really didn’t look very smart on a normal day.
In any case, these two were living together because of this incident!
Lin Zhong finally breathed a sigh of relief.
—Victory is in sight, go for it!!!
*
Victory was in sight, but this “in sight” was a little far away.
Lin Zhong really hadn’t expected that these two were already living together, and the progress could still be so————slow!!!
Actually, if you say it’s slow, it’s not that there’s no progress at all.
It can even be said that these two, besides not sleeping in the same bed, were not much different from being married.
They looked like a little couple, walking the duck and dog together every day, cooking and eating together, and even the housework was divided between them.
Their little life was harmonious and comfortable, but there was just something missing, and their relationship could never reach the final step.
As long as they couldn’t reach that step, her task would not be completed.
If the task was not completed, she couldn’t go back.
So Lin Zhong could only wait silently every day. Sometimes, when she got impatient, she would just grab Jian Xin into the duck to vent her little emotions.
This Jian Xin was also too much.
To participate in a variety show, she had to pester her for a long time.
She said that she would build her a swimming pool later, and at worst, she could also get her a small pond, and that she must not tie her up as a duck at a critical moment.
What a joke, she’s a god. She can still distinguish the importance of things, right?
Does she need to be lured? What does she take her for?
She will have to go back to the heavens sooner or later. What does she need those ponds and swimming pools for?
—She can’t be bothered to make a promise with a human, it makes her look silly.
Lin Zhong thought so, but Jian Xin was a stubborn person, and she had forced her to agree to this promise in a very forceful way.
…
Forget it, she had no intention of causing trouble in the first place. As long as Jian Xin is at ease.
The recording of the variety show was very smooth.
With one less Jian Xin at home, it was a little quieter, just like before.
But Yan Lu’s mood was much better than before every day, and even the smell in the house had become very fresh and comfortable, and from time to time, it was tinged with a hint of sweetness.
Lin Zhong would from time to time sense a longing from a thousand miles away.
That wisp of longing was connected to Yan Lu’s side, which made it much easier for her to go over there and swap Jian Xin.
Every time it was late at night, and it was not important, Lin Zhong would bring Jian Xin back and let this not-yet-reunited young couple meet.
Every time she finished casting a spell, she felt that she was really a particularly good god, to be able to work so hard for a human relationship.
This red thread is so hard to repair. When she goes back to the celestial realm, she will have to pester Yue Lao for some benefits!
With this thought, a long time passed in a flash.
Unconsciously, she had been in this home for almost five years.
If she hadn’t experienced it herself, Lin Zhong would have found it hard to believe that she had been on a single task for almost five years!
And in these five years, two of them were stuck on the initial task. Every day, besides eating, drinking, pooping, and fighting with a dog, she really couldn’t do anything.
Fortunately, in her fifth year here, these two had finally said everything and had gotten back together.
The moment they confirmed their relationship, Lin Zhong was so moved by the sour and sweet smell around her that she almost cried!
The broken red thread now only had one last bit of regret before it could be completely restored.
She wandered through Yan Lu’s thoughts for a while.
In the end, she concluded that the last bit of regret in Yan Lu’s heart was—they hadn’t been to see the sea together yet.
A promise made easily in youth, someone will always keep it in their heart for a lifetime.
Yan Lu did not remember that unrealistic big villa, because she had always felt that a home did not need to be very big, and a small one could also be very warm—if Jian Xin really wanted to live in a big villa, she could also afford to buy one now.
But they had said that they would go to see the sea together when they grew up.
They had been grown up for a long, long time, but they still hadn’t been to see the sea together.
But Yan Lu, even after so many years, and she had finally said the words that had been buried in her heart for so many years to Jian Xin, in the end, she still couldn’t ask that sentence—when are we going to see the sea together?
Actually, it wasn’t that she was too embarrassed to ask.
It was just that she herself didn’t know that she still cared about such a thing in her heart.
She always felt that she had seen it by herself.
—Isn’t it just the sea?
The sky is high and the earth is wide. She had been to so many places, and the sea was really nothing special.
So she didn’t know that there was actually a hint of anticipation and longing in her heart.
To complete the task successfully, Lin Zhong decided to remind Jian Xin.
Perhaps because she was worried that Jian Xin would not take this matter to heart, she even wickedly prevented the two of them from getting lovey-dovey.
And then everything went very smoothly!
She had successfully completed this task in a super comfortable sea-view villa!
Because this big villa was really comfortable, even more comfortable than her celestial mansion in the heavens, Lin Zhong was a little reluctant to leave for a time.
Of course, that was just a short-term reluctance.
Compared to this big villa, she was still a little more reluctant to part with these two human children who had tormented her for almost five years.
But no matter how reluctant she was, she had to go back.
After confirming that this red thread was completely stable, she happily said goodbye to Jian Xin.
As for “Cauliflower,” it was a wisp of her divine power.
Whether it was Yan Lu or Jian Xin, they had already treated “Cauliflower” as a family member.
Even that little stupid dog named Xin Xin liked “Cauliflower” very much.
So she had left this wisp of divine power in the mortal world!
She had imbued it with a little bit of her own memory and reluctance, so that even without her, it could still live and jump around with them and that little stupid dog.
This little duck’s body would be very good. If there were no accidents, it would definitely live longer than an ordinary duck.
“I wish you a long and happy life together!” Lin Zhong said with a sigh of relief, and with a faint smile, she looked at the dazed Jian Xin. “I’m off, duck!”
She had really been here for too long. It was time to go and see how her colleague, with whom she had made a bet, was doing!
*
Lin Zhong ran all the way to the distance and saw her celestial colleague, whom she hadn’t seen in five years, with a tired face.
She asked her, how much longer until she went back?
Her colleague sighed and told her, “Soon, in about half a year…”
Hearing this, Lin Zhong first put on a look of deep sympathy.
After a brief sympathy, she couldn’t help but lift the corners of her mouth and show a happy smile.
Lin Zhong: “I’m going back first. In half a year, remember to come and help me sweep my celestial mansion!”
Her colleague took a sharp breath, and before she could say anything, she heard a crisp laugh from her ear, and then, with a wisp of spiritual light, it floated towards the horizon.
“…”
Sigh, I shouldn’t have made that bet…
