The corners of Ling Jue's lips curled up. The indecent Feng Yulin was rather cute.
"Alright, I'm going to bed. See you tomorrow."
"Good night."
Ling Jue hung up the phone and lay on the bed, staring at the ceiling. She could not believe that all of this was real.
It was like a dream...
...
The next morning.
Ling Jue arrived at the hospital where Xia Qinglian had given birth to her. The place had become deserted.
It was a very quiet place, surrounded by dried leaves.
A forty-something-year-old security guard was sitting in the pavilion, dozing off.
Ling Jue entered the pavilion easily. There were not many people here.
She looked at the sign beside her. It turned out that this place had become a mental hospital.
She walked into the small garden. Many old men in white were in a daze in the pavilion.
"Hey, hey, hey, who are you? Why are you here? Get out now!"
A nurse's voice came from behind Ling Jue.
She turned her head. It was a young girl, about eighteen or nineteen years old. She was wearing a nurse's outfit and had a serious look on her face.
"Ling Jue?"
"..."
"You're Ling Jue?!" She was shocked and ran towards her. "Are you really Ling Jue? I've watched your livestream. I even drew your lipstick the other day. That little brother gave it to me! Do you remember me?!"
Her face was full of surprise and she was at a loss. Her face was also a little red.
"It's you." Ling Jue remembered. She nodded. "I'm here to look for someone."
"Look for someone?" She raised her eyebrows slightly. "Is it your family?"
"Yes."
"There are only a few elderly people here. Some of them are sleeping. What's the name of your family? Shall I go and check?"
She looked like a fangirl. After all, Ling Jue was her favorite little brother.
"Does this hospital still have records of the Obstetrics and Gynecology Department fifteen years ago?"
"Fifteen years ago?" She frowned. "There was a fire here in the past, and everything was burned down. Many of the files are gone, so we might not be able to find them."
Ling Jue nodded. No wonder she saw that the wall on the east side was a little black.
Perhaps the fire had turned this place into a mental hospital...
"Ten years ago, it was such a big fire! It burned down! It was so scary!"
Behind the nurse, an old lady with white hair jumped out and said in fear.
"Grandma Li, why did you come out again? Have you finished the food Xiaoqiao cooked for you?"
"Yes, yes." She grabbed Xiaoqiao's hand with a smile and repeated, "Yes, yes."
Ling Jue looked around the place. It seemed that she really could not find what she was looking for.
"If that's the case, I'll go back first. Thank you." Ling Jue looked at Xiaoqiao with a faint smile.
"Lord Jue..." Xiaoqiao looked at her prince charming leaving reluctantly. She really wanted to reach out for an autograph and a group photo.
"Hmm?"
"Were you born here before?"
"Yes, fifteen years ago." Ling Jue smiled faintly. "So, I wanted to take a look..."
"Fifteen years ago, a child went missing..." Grandma Li held Xiaoqiao's hand tightly, her face full of fear. "It was stolen..."
"Grandma Li, you're talking nonsense again." Xiaoqiao turned to look at Ling Jue apologetically. "Don't mind it, Lord Jue. Grandma Li is old, and she always likes to talk nonsense. She used to be an obstetrician in this hospital, but after delivering a child, she was fired. Her family members passed away one after another. She suffered a blow and had some mental problems."
