Shopping the Store (Bonus Chapter for Alliance Leader Kindly Teacher Zhang!)

Refreshing the Shop was something he had to do.

But—

Xu Yuan glanced at the clock on the wall.

He was in a hurry!

He brushed his teeth, washed his face, changed clothes, put on his shoes, and hurried out.

He bought breakfast.

Then he took food to the hospital.

The girl was no longer in the ward.

"She left?"

Xu Yuan asked.

"Yes. It was sudden. Her brother came and took her away," Zhao Shulan said.

"Mom, why the long face? She's a student at Luofu University. She has a bright future ahead of her. She'll be fine," Xu Yuan said, studying Zhao Shulan's expression.

"I just thought Yiyi was such a sweet child. I don't know why there isn't even one person in her family who dotes on her," Zhao Shulan sighed.

Xu Yuan was about to answer when he slapped his forehead. He had remembered something.

In the Qi Refiners' Combat Prep Room, he had spent 100 gold coins on a note.

The note had said—

"My Yiyi."

"Remember to check the things you treasure most. Mom left you a farewell gift."

At the time, he had thought the note was a complete rip-off.

But now...

Could it have been her?

Or did they just have the same name?

Why sit here wondering? Why not ask her?

Xu Yuan pondered for a moment, then pulled out his phone and sent "Senior Yiyi" a message.

"Are you there?"

He waited a while.

No reply.

She might have been busy.

Xu Yuan kept typing: "Did you live in Border City when you were little, ten years ago?"

He was about to send it when he deleted the whole thing.

...Asking so directly seemed to put his own safety at risk.

Xu Yuan stared at his phone for a while.
