I've Recovered and Will Return Soon!

"She... she wouldn't like me, would she?"

My voice trembled slightly as I said those words.

What do you think?

Milo's eyes were filled with disappointment and frustration. He put his wine glass on the balcony, rubbed his face in anguish, and said, "I did meet her once in BH City, and I asked her. She admitted herself that she likes you. The main reason she doesn't want to leave Creek City is because she doesn't want to leave you. But you're planning to let the girl make the first move?!"

I have mixed feelings.

What are your thoughts?

Milo said, "It's just the two of us today. Tell me your thoughts. What is your opinion of Xiao Bei?"

What is my opinion of her?

I said helplessly, "I can't really say for sure. She has a fiancé, and I... I'm just a gamer. Do you think Xiao Bei and I are a good match?"

"It suits you very well..."

Milo took a deep breath. "Actually, your personalities complement each other quite well, even I, an outsider, am quite envious. It's a pity... Xiao Bei having a fiancé is really troublesome, this setting is just too cliché..."

She looked at me again. "What are you planning to do next?"

"My Severely Injured buff will be refreshed in three days. I've already discussed it with Cai Cai, Kou Mei, and Ruolin. Once I'm healed, I'll head to Huaining City to meet up with them."

"That's good, players should stick together."

Milo said, "After you log back into WeChat, have a good talk with Xiao Bei. The three of us came from Creek City together, and this kind of fate is really hard to come by. Even if you two can't be a couple, I hope the three of us will always be friends."

"Um."

I nodded. "In my heart, you two have always been my best friends."

"That's good."

Milo patted me on the shoulder and said, "Sorry, bro, I was a little harsh just now. Don't take it to heart. I know you've had a tough time too."

"It's alright, what's a little pain in the face of wind and rain? Wipe away your tears and don't be afraid, at least we still have dreams."

"You fucking..."

Hahaha~~~

I took a sip of juice and asked, "How are you doing these days? Why are you still going from one venue to another? How much is the appearance fee for Cheng Shuang's birthday performance?"

"The appearance fee wasn't too high, 20,000 yuan split among the four of us, with food, lodging, and airfare reimbursed. The main reason for coming was because of Liu Yan's connections; she's the CEO of Xinli Media, which is very important to my future."

"OK."

I nodded. "How's the online buzz going?"

"I've already recorded the songs 'The Ordinary Road' and 'Those Flowers,' and I'm currently discussing sponsorship and uploading with Nine Heavens Music Network. If the pre-release hype is successful, it will greatly boost my future development."

"Nine Heavens Music..."

I frowned. "I remember it used to be a pirate website..."

"Shh, it's the same now."

Milo grinned. "However, it seems this music website has been taken over by players and is quickly going through a cleanup process. They've established a legitimate company and have a lot of resources, so their company's development speed will be quite rapid. They might be one of the companies I'll be signing in the future."

"Okay, that's good."

I nodded. "Work hard. When you become famous, we'll hold a concert. Then I'll create a guild and bring all the brothers in the guild to your concert to support you."

"Alright, a gentleman's word is as good as his bond!"

They chatted until late, and Milo and the other three members of the band left to catch an overnight flight to BH City.

Around midnight.

Slightly tipsy, Cheng Shuang's pretty face flushed, she walked out of the villa and looked over, saying, "I've had too much to drink, I can't drive..."

"I know."

I smiled and said, "It's okay, I'll just take a taxi later."

"Don't want."

She shook her head and said, "I'll have the driver take us to the sanatorium later. I still want to stay there tonight."

"Can people sit in the back of your car?"

"If there's enough room for one person, I'll go in, and you can sit in the front."

"All right..."

She always meant what she said, so I didn't argue.

The driver arrived shortly afterward; he was a middle-aged man. I sat in the passenger seat, while Cheng Shuang hid in the back, leaning her face close to mine and resting it on my shoulder. She was really drunk, and with so many friends around, she was probably in a particularly good mood.

"President Cheng, shall we depart?" the driver asked.

"Slow down."

"Good."

As the car slowly started moving, I could clearly feel Cheng Shuang's warm breath. Her face was very hot, and with each turn of the car, her breath would gently touch my face.

"Ding Han, what do you want for breakfast tomorrow?" she asked.

"You've already drunk this much, so just go to sleep. I'll order food from the canteen in the hospital tomorrow morning."

"All right."

She nodded and smiled, saying, "The song you sang with Milo... was really good. Haven't you considered Xinli Media? Xiaoyan will definitely invest a lot of resources in you, and your future career might be even better than Milo's."

"No, I'm not interested in singing."

I tilted my head and glanced at her. "Don't forget, your brother passed the Ride the Wind Sword to me. After I find the sword, I'm supposed to inherit his will. If I really go into the music industry, how will I inherit it?"

Cheng Shuang muttered, "Whatever you want, I'm fine with anything..."

I felt a little embarrassed.

The driver glanced at me sideways, giving me a strange look.

The next day, in the morning.

Cheng Shuang went home, changed into a designer outfit, and returned looking beautiful. She smiled and said, "I've already taken care of your phone and SIM card; you can use them now."

As she spoke, she took out phone packaging from the bag, but I didn't see my 3,000 yuan phone. Cheng Shuang took it upon herself to replace it with a different one.

Guess what? Far ahead, triple fold!

"This is way too expensive!"

I frowned. "Cheng Shuang, do you know this isn't right?"

"It's already been bought. You can either use it or throw it away."

Cheng Shuang smiled and said, "You decide for yourself."

After unpacking, I started charging the phone and inserted the SIM card. When the battery level reached about 10%, I couldn't resist turning it on, downloading WeChat, and logging into my account.

The moment WeChat login was successful, a series of "ding-ding-ding" sounds filled the air, and nearly a month's worth of accumulated information burst forth, filling the screen with red numbers—a truly exciting sight.

First, there's information about Lu Xiaobei.

"I heard the news from Creek City. How are you?"

"Please reply to me quickly, I beg you..."

"They said you were injured..."

"Are you still there? Please reply to me, I beg you..."

Then, a day later, she sent a few more messages.

"I've arrived in Creek City."

"Half of our internet cafe was blown up."

"Ding Han, where are you...?"

Looking at her message, I was instantly overwhelmed with mixed feelings.

So I replied, only to find a red exclamation mark!

Good grief, they blocked me again after finding out I was okay!?

I was speechless for a moment, then looked at the second one.

It was a blank profile picture, and the name was originally blank as well, but I gave her a nickname: Lin Qingying.

"We have arrived safely in Huaining City. Are you alright?"

"Ding Han, are you there?"

Then, a few hours later, she posted another message.

"I heard you were picked up by people from Jiangning City. If you see this, please remember to reply."

Looking at her message, I clicked reply and edited, "I am indeed recuperating in Jiangning City. I lost my phone in Creek City, and because of issues with my ID card, I haven't been able to buy a new phone. I just got my communication back."

About two minutes later, Lin Qingying finally replied to my message: "That's good, I'm in a meeting."

"Focus on the meeting properly, no slacking off!"

"Um."

Seeing her reply, I was speechless again. Lin Qingying is good in every way, except that she has a very cold personality. I don't know what kind of man can warm her heart.

Afterwards, he replied to messages from Zhang Ruolin, Cai Cai, Milo, Zhao Yihang, and others one by one.

Then, I posted a message on my Moments:

"I'm fully recovered and coming back soon! (Confident Face)"

Immediately, the post on Moments was flooded with likes and comments.

Cai Cai: "Welcome, my king!"

Ruolin: "Wow, the most handsome man in Creek City is back!"

Kou Mei: "Long live the boss!"

Sakura: "Look how smug you are, kid! (laughs. JPG)"

Ling Baiwei: "Welcome, welcome!"

Gun Like a Dragon: "Welcome back Shadow Chaser, Shadow Chaser!"

The Milk Tea Life-Extending Immortal: "Brother, I've been waiting for you for so long!"

Milo: "Bro, recover well, stay calm and don't get reckless!"

Then, surprisingly, Lin Qingying actually liked the post.

She never posts on Moments, and I even suspect she never likes other people's posts, so this like from her is quite rare.

"Looks like you're having a lot of fun~~~"

Beside me, Cheng Shuang looked at me with a smile.

"Yes, it's nice to reply to a message from an old friend; it's always nice to be cared about."

"Then... shall we add each other as new friends?"

She picked up her phone and opened the WeChat QR code.

I immediately scanned the QR code and found that Cheng Shuang's WeChat name was "Cheng Shuang," and her profile picture was a beautiful selfie of herself standing in the sunlight.

After becoming friends, she immediately opened my Moments and found two posts.

One message was a notification of my return, and the other was a photo of me and Lu Xiaobei.

So, she immediately liked the post about her comeback.

Then, about three minutes later, he liked another Moments.

In the afternoon, Captain Qin arrived.

This time, he didn't avoid suspicion. Instead, he put down the fruit in front of Cheng Shuang and asked with a smile, "How's your recovery going? What are your plans for the future? Have you considered joining the Great Wall Watch?"

Here we go again!

Before I could even reply, Cheng Shuang said directly, "Captain Qin, Ding Han will not join Great Wall Watch! I don't want him to follow in my brother's footsteps. Please don't bring this up again!"

Her attitude was firm and left no room for argument.

"Cheng Shuang, you..."

Captain Qin was initially taken aback, then seemed to understand something, and his expression turned cold. When he looked at me again, his gaze was quite icy.
