Chapter 81: Information & Sabas

  Her hands and feet were icy cold, she stood there dazed for a moment before suddenly rushing out.

  Nanako stared in shock at Ritsu, who had suddenly run out while their work was only halfway done. She called out to him with great concern, but he seemed not to have heard her and quickly disappeared from view.

  He didn't know why he felt so bad.

  Lü just kept running hard, wanting to arrive a little earlier. Originally wanted to take a taxi, but the streets were congested with vehicles during peak hours, so Lü simply ran directly, using his fastest speed.

  It feels like icy air has entered my chest and lungs, a piercing chill.

  A faint metallic taste surged out of his mouth, and it had been a long time since he ran so hard after coming to this world, yet somehow he didn't feel tired.

  My heart feels like it's been twisted into a knot, every breath is so painful.

  The brain can no longer think, only that one line of short words on the screen keeps flashing in mind.

  Lotus is in the municipal hospital, he...do you want to come and see him?

  What's wrong with him?!

  That brief message was a kind of torture for Lü Jian. He quickly typed out a response, but all he got in return was the mechanical voice saying that the phone was turned off.

  Why don't you just say it clearly?

  I originally thought I wouldn't have any more dealings with Tōka Azuma before leaving this world, but why did it have to involve him.

  And why would I be so flustered when I found out something might have happened to him?

  Just thinking about that smiling gentle and serious man possibly lying in a hospital bed makes Ritsu feel an unbearable pain.

  Nothing like this will happen, you have to stay rational, he is the protagonist of this world, nothing will happen.

  Although I told myself so clearly, I still couldn't avoid feeling dizzy and panicked.

  Although I told myself that Hikaru would never be in trouble, it was not written in the original work.

  However, the original has long since changed beyond recognition, so how can you be certain that nothing will happen?

  Not necessarily. The original work is not reliable in reality.

  Maybe it was because Yuuto ran too fast, or maybe people just didn't think that Yuuto would be running down the street without any disguise, and as a result, no one recognized him.

  After an unknown period of time, I finally saw the gate of the municipal hospital.

  In a hoarse voice, panting, he asked the receptionist where Togawa Ren was in which ward.

  The receptionist's habitual formulaic smile transformed into complete surprise and excitement when she saw Ritsu, "You're Ritsu, right? How did you end up appearing in..."

  He wanted to know which room Tonari was in. Almost as if interrupting the front desk lady's words, Ritsu simply repeated his own words. "Please tell me which room Tonari is in."

  The front desk lady hesitated for a moment, stuttering. "Oh, oh, I remember it's room 721... Ah, Mr. Lv, please don't go yet, let me confirm again..."

  After hearing the number, Lü rushed towards the elevator and didn't hear the front desk lady's shout from behind, but quickly got on the elevator.

  "Ding."

  It's arrived.

  He stopped at the door and didn't dare to go in. He didn't know what he was thinking, but he knew he was a little afraid of meeting a calm Duncheng Lian.

  The reason, he is not clear about it.

  When he opened the door, he was stunned on the spot.

  There was no one else in the room, only Lian quietly lying on the bed. Had something really happened to him?

  The law approached step by step without a sound, and Dun He Lian didn't move.

  "Lotus..."

  No response.

  Lv Fu looked at Lian's much thinner outline and felt a pang of bitterness in his heart.

  At this moment, Tonari no Kaibutsu's heroine, Tonari, opened her eyes.

  Lü was standing there in stunned silence, at a loss for words.

  "What are you doing here." Dung He Lian looked surprised, but also deliberately cold, making Lv Mo feel a little empty.

  "Uh, luckily I received a text message from Xiangyi telling me you're in the hospital, I don't know how you are, I...I came..."

  Let me see if you have anything on you.

  It's hard to put into words. He simply hung his head and stopped talking.

  Tong He Lian slightly furrowed her brow, "Xing Yi? Why did Xing Yi tell Lu that he was here?"

  Just as he pushed open the door and entered, Ryu was standing in front of Tonari no Kaibutsu with a bento in hand, staring at him in astonishment.

  "I just sent you a message and you're already here? It's obviously congested, I thought it would take at least another hour."

  He looked up and down at the somewhat disheveled law, fortunately, he was stunned by the Tao.

  "You didn't run here, did you?!"

  Looking at Lv, he slightly lowered his head and didn't refute, Xing was tongue-tied.

  "Are you kidding me? Where were you at that time?"

  This time the lawyer did answer.

  Fuji Television.

  "How many kilometers is this? Is it necessary to be so anxious? I just haven't seen you for a long time and my heart was uneasy, so I told you that Lotus is filming here this afternoon. It just ended."

  What? Ritsu looked up at Kouichi, only because he felt that Atsushi hadn't met with him for a long time and sent him such an ambiguous message.

  No strength to be angry, the lawyer who had been in a state of high tension finally relaxed and the legs that had been supporting him all along completely lost their support, thudding onto the ground.

  At this moment, Dun He and She Xing were startled, and they quickly helped Lu Yu sit down on another bed.

  Kōichi asked with a hint of guilt, "Is it okay? It's all because I didn't make myself clear."

  Covered her tired face with her hands, just shook her head.

  How could he say that when he found out it was actually just a misunderstanding caused by Xīn Yī not making himself clear, his first reaction wasn't anger, but rather relief.

  Now that Tōka has nothing to worry about, I can rest easy too.

  Since he's fine...

  Lü didn't look at Dun He Lian, but instead stood up and gave a faint smile.

  "If nothing's going on, I'll head back then. When I came out, I didn't say goodbye to Nana, she must be worried sick."

  Kōichi wouldn't say anything against it, but even he could see how flustered and anxious Ryū was after the misunderstanding, so Lian's situation probably didn't need to be worried about anymore.

  Tun He Lian didn't move and didn't say a word.

  As he walked to the door, he hesitated for a moment and said goodbye in a low voice.

  Never see again.

  He can't be with Tonari no Kaibutsu, so he has to stop meeting her. If that's the case, it would always be chaotic and not good for either of them. From what Nana told him, his popularity should already be high, and the distance from leaving this world shouldn't be too far.

  The film and song are now left with only taking down that "Blood Tears" and I can probably complete the task.

  Kōichi felt that the atmosphere wasn't as good as he thought it would be. He looked at Ren who seemed a bit dazed, and couldn't help but think that he had made another mistake somewhere.

  Because it's not necessary to run now, and Lü also doesn't want to take a taxi.

  The leader stood up, covering half of his face with his sleeve, and walked slowly at a moderate pace. The program had already started late, and it was also somewhat inconceivable that he would abandon the work that had been going on for half and rush here recklessly, without even knowing the reason why he came.

  Because it was a bit cold, Lu reached into his pocket with his hand, but bumped into an icy object.

  He took it out with some doubt, and after a slight pause, he remembered that he was wearing this piece of clothing at the time. Since he had only worn it once and hadn't sent it to be dry cleaned, it had been in the pocket of this coat all along.

  She lifted this exquisite glass bangle in front of her eyes and gazed at it intently, still silent.

  In the end, it was still impossible to save and throw away. As he tried to put his hand back into his pocket, his wrist was suddenly grasped, unable to move for a moment.

  Along with holding his own hand, Tunka Ren pursed his lips and stared at the chain of hands, his eyes flashing with indescribable emotions.

  Ritsu stared at Tōka in shock, who was wearing a hat to conceal his face, but since he was close enough, Ritsu could clearly see all the expressions on his face.

  Dun He Lian fell silent for a moment, unable to wait for the rhythm of speech, she tried with all her might to struggle free from his grasp, but felt the force on her wrist increase, as if he was going to strangle her until blood marks appeared.

  Lyu looked up at Dunhe's eyes in silence, but couldn't help being stunned.

  Dunhe Lian hadn't made eye contact with him for a long time. The complex and contradictory emotions contained in those eyes stopped Lu's movements.

  "Why did you come."

  "Even if Yuki's message is easily misunderstood, you don't have to come."

  Although I wanted to try and forget you, you once again burst into my line of sight, carrying with you a worry that can be seen as hope.

  "I'm not..." Ritsu wanted to explain that he wasn't going to respond, but before he could say that the two of them would never meet again, he was interrupted by Tonari no Kaoru.

  He stretched out his other hand and grasped the chain in his hand, saying firmly.

  "The old man in the store told me to leave another string there, and he would give it to the next Asian person who came into his store. If I could meet that person, then it meant we had a destined fate."

  Dun He Lian smiled self-deprecatingly and said, "I didn't believe it at first."

  "But you're holding onto this chain, what am I supposed to think?"

  The law gradually calmed down and said.

  "I have someone I like, and it's not Kyoko. To be honest, he's a man. So it's not because of your gender, but rather I don't want to be with anyone else."

  Unexpectedly, Dunhe Lian didn't have a big reaction, and only said faintly.

  "But he's no longer in this world, is he?"

  Ryu was taken aback, but couldn't think of a rebuttal. Llewellyn was indeed not in this world, but it wasn't because he had died; rather, he was in another world.

  But even if he were told the true situation by Tonari no Kaibutsu, how could he possibly believe such an absurd story.

  So he struggled all day and ultimately didn't say anything.

  Let's define this as default, Dunhe Lian continued.

  "Now that he's gone, why can't you try to accept another relationship."

  "In at most a year, I will leave. Maybe never come back." Lü thought for a moment and felt that this was the best way to persuade Dun He Lian. And it was also true.

  Dun He Lian slightly paused, carefully observing the expression of Lv, and found that he was not just making an excuse, but a genuine thought.

  "Where are you going?"

  "You can't find a place for me. So I won't be able to be with you. We are destined not to have an ending, and in the future, you will like other people too, and I am not your only choice."

  Dunhe Lian fell silent for a moment before releasing Lu's hand.

  "Then I'll take care of this chain."

  Lu nodded, "Of course."

  Before he could even let out a sigh of relief at being persuaded by Tonari no Kaibutsu, he heard the sudden voice behind him.

  So familiar yet so strange.

  "Oh dear, is there trouble with the law?"

  He suddenly turned around, and that person's dark red pupils were like the most enchanting crystal, with a charming and flowing light.

  As gentle as ever, it seems like it has been precipitated for thousands of years and will not change.

  "I've finally found you, Lutz."

  The author has something to say: Everyone, this chapter is a bit shorter because Qianzi has an exam on the 29th. After the exam, there will still be daily updates of 10,000 words during the National Day holiday period!

  Sesame paste finally appeared!
