Chapter 788

"Do you feel that I can't understand your thoughts?"

"Do you think I've lost my emotions, like a stone that can't be warmed?"

"No!" Lin Yu quickly denied, "I just..."

"Just not sure, right?" she interrupted. "I may be slow-witted, but I'm not stupid."

"Emotions may need to be learned, but 'caring' does not. I can feel that you care about me."

"As for the rest."

"Like those blushing jokes, like the people around you, I can slowly learn to adapt. Just like an organization, there are always rules to follow."

She paused and added, "Only if you're willing to wait."

Are you willing to wait?

Lin Yu was naturally willing to wait.

Some feelings do not require a grand confession, and do not require the entanglement of "can or cannot", but only require a sentence "I am willing to wait" and a sentence "I can learn".

Will suffice.

"But my gift is not ready yet..."

Aglaya was stunned, a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes, "Gift?"

"Yeah." Lin Yu avoided her gaze, "I want to polish a pendant...but it's not finished yet."

"Is it just a pendant?" Aglaya tilted her head slightly. "I thought... it was what you were talking about last time."

"Well...that's what I mean." He responded vaguely, not daring to look her in the eye.

Ruan Mei's words still echoed in her ears, "The curse is bound to her life. Forcibly dispelling it may cause backlash... Lin Yu, you have to think clearly. This is not an ordinary external injury, but a mark engraved on the soul."

How could Lin Yu let her take such a risk?

Ruan Mei said that the success rate of restoring sight due to blindness caused by the curse is no more than five percent.

This number was like a thin needle, piercing the softest part of his heart.

Five percent hope means ninety-five percent risk.

"It hasn't been polished yet?" Aglaya's voice brought him back to his senses. She took half a step forward, and warm steam wrapped in the fragrance of tranquilizing grass came over.

"It's almost done." That's all he could say. "I'll give it to you the first time it's finished."

"Then I'll wait."

"When you give me the pendant, maybe... I can guess what you're hiding inside."

Lin Yu stood there, watching her back disappear into the room.

Aglaya might have guessed something long ago, but she was just giving him room to hesitate in her own way.

Five percent hope, do you want to take a gamble?

Lin Yu suddenly clenched his fists.

bet.

Even if there was only a slight possibility, he wanted to let her see what the starry sky originally looked like.

But now, he still needs a little time, a little courage, and a reason that will not make her aware of the risks.

"Are you done talking?" Xing's voice suddenly came from behind.

"You are the only one who likes to eavesdrop every time." Lin Yu put his hand on Xing's head and rubbed it.

Xing leaned closer to him, and the sweet fragrance mixed with her breath hit his face, "I'm also curious about what Aglaya will say to you..."

She paused, then dropped her joking expression, "I just heard your other meaning."

Lin Yu paused and said nothing.

"Do you still want to help Aglaiya regain her sight?" Xing's voice softened, a hint of cautious inquiry in his voice. "I overheard your earlier meeting with Ruan Mei, outside the medical cabin. You said... the success rate was very low."

"Ah."

"Want to try."

"But Ruan Mei said..."

"A miracle will eventually happen." Lin Yu interrupted Xing.

"Look, even Tian could come back from the abyss of fate, so what else is impossible?"

"Aglaya always said that there are exceptions to exceptions. Perhaps this time, we are the exception."

"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Isn't today a party?"

"You should go over there quickly."

Xing lowered her head and tugged at the towel around her body. She had just gotten out of the bath in a hurry and only had time to wrap herself in it. The corners were still wet with moisture.

Lin Yu's eyes fell on her bare shoulders, and his brows frowned slightly. "What if you just came out of the bath and caught a cold wrapped in a bath towel? Go back and change clothes."

Xing blushed quietly, and her fingers unconsciously twisted the corners of the bath towel.

She actually wanted to say that she really wasn't afraid of the cold, that her constitution was naturally more cold-resistant than that of ordinary people, but when the words reached her lips, she turned into a low mumble, "I know."

Seeing Lin Yu turning around, she dared to raise her head and gently touched her hot ears with her fingertips.

Actually, I just came out wrapped in a bath towel on purpose, just to let him see...

She wanted him to see that she was different from her usual self, and wanted to see if he would show a little bit of nervousness and concern like he did to Aglaya.

Although he urged her to go back and change clothes, the worried words "What if you catch a cold" still made her feel sweet.

...

"Nakexia, take care of Shuting, we are leaving."

Feng Jin's voice echoed in the room filled with instruments. The crucible on the iron rack was bubbling, and purple mist was seeping out through the gaps, carrying a pungent smell of sulfur.

"Yeah." At that moment, Xia didn't even raise his head. He pinched the dropper with his fingertips and added fluorescent liquid into the beaker. The green liquid boiled instantly.

He is always like this. Alchemy is his whole world, and he even turns a deaf ear to Feng Jin's advice.

Feng Jin sighed helplessly and turned to look at Xiadie beside him.

The two exchanged glances, and saw the tacit understanding of "getting used to it" in each other's eyes, then turned and left the academy.

The teleportation array outside the tree garden glowed with a light blue light, sending the group to Xuanfeng City.

As soon as he stepped out, a sharp wind blew in with flying sand, and the black iron flag on the city wall fluttered in the wind.

"The wind here is stronger than that in Ohma." Lin Yu was about to say something when a heavy pressure suddenly came from the center of the city, like an invisible mountain hitting everyone's heart.

"It's the Ten Thousand Enemies."

"He is now the mayor of Xuanfeng City. It is said that his temperament has become extremely violent in the past three years."

"Who is slandering me behind my back?" Ten thousand enemies came from the air and landed in front of everyone.

His eyes swept across everyone and finally landed on Bai'er in the corner, with obvious suspicion.

That look seemed to say "There is no one else but you".

Bai E was choked by his gaze and quickly waved his hands, "Why are you looking at me like that? I won't do anything behind my back! If I have something to say, I'll just say it to your face. Why do we have to be so sneaky?"

"I don't think you dare." Wan Di crossed his arms, raised his chin slightly, and his tone was full of undisguised arrogance.

"Why did you come to see me?" Wan Di asked.

"We just want to see what's going on here."

"We are about to leave Omphalos." Tibao stepped forward and said.

Wan Di's eyebrows moved, as if he was a little surprised. "Is it the invitation letter from before?"

"You guys go ahead. I don't care about the outside world." Wan Di turned around and said, "I can protect Xuanfeng City by myself."

Bai Er muttered beside him, "Shou?"

"Bai'e." Wan Di's voice turned cold.

"I don't need pity from others, and I don't need this thing."

"We're not here to pity you." Lin Yu stepped forward. "We just think that people trapped in the past should look at the light outside. Maybe... it will be good for both you and Xuanfeng City."

Wan Di was silent for a moment. "I'll consider it." He finally relented, but still remained stubborn. "But don't expect me to thank you. You can go to Xuanfeng City now."
