But looking at his own son, and then at the girl whose eyes were full of anticipation.
Mother Zhang did not reveal her true thoughts.
Zhang Xin sat down to chat with Yingying, while Zhang's mother stood nearby, lost in thought.
Time passed by, second by second.
Suddenly, Mama Zhang felt her vision blur.
She rubbed her eyes and opened them again.
In front of him appeared a plastic bag, floating in mid-air.
To be precise, it appeared above his son's head, but his son clearly didn't notice.
Yingying saw the plastic bag on Zhang Xin's head, stood up, and grabbed it.
Zhang Xin then noticed the item, with the words [For the Security Guard] written on the bag.
"This is the package Dr. Wen sent me. When did it arrive? How come I didn't see the delivery person?" Zhang Xin looked around, and indeed, apart from the three of them, there was no one else.
Some may be just souls.
Mama Zhang watched this scene, her heart deeply moved!
If her eyes weren't playing tricks on her, she had just witnessed that scene with her own eyes!
That thing suddenly appeared before her eyes, as if it had emerged out of thin air.
Oh no, that's not right. It seemed like a flash of white light, and then this thing just appeared out of thin air.
Yingying blinked and looked, "Big brother, are there really immortals? Then I can see my mom and dad, right?"
Zhang Xin looked at his mother. Mother Zhang shook her head, "Don't look at me, I don't know either, but Dr. Wen must be an expert!"
Zhang Xin firmly believed in this, so he nodded.
Zhang Xin no longer dwelled on how this thing had appeared. Just thinking about Dr. Wen's skills, sixty percent of his doubts were already resolved!
Zhang Xin opened the plastic bag, and inside the black plastic bag were ten sheets of yellow paper.
Zhang Xin didn't understand what this meant. He picked up his phone intending to ask Dr. Wen, only to see that Dr. Wen had already sent a message.
Dr. Wen: [Let the little girl burn paper money for her parents. Once they see their child, they naturally won't bother you anymore. But if they continue to pester you and want you to help their daughter, that's a different price.]
Wen Ying speculated for a while, and this follow-up would still involve the security guard, maintaining a perfect one-to-one ratio.
The future she could predict was not set in stone; often, under the influence of unknown forces, these events would deviate.
When the sky darkened slightly, Yingying followed Mama Zhang's instructions and burned paper offerings for her parents.
Zhang Xin and Zhang's mother stood on either side, slightly apart. They couldn't possibly kneel down to the two of them, could they?
"Mom, I want to see you, and Dad too."
Yingying knelt and burned paper while speaking.
Mrs. Zhang glanced at her watch, "It's so late, and her aunt hasn't said a word. How can she be so at ease with this child?"
Suddenly, they heard Yingying say, "Mom, Dad, don't look for Big Brother anymore. He's a good person. Searching for him too much is bad for his health. He helped Yingying. Yingying hopes he can stay healthy."
Although Yingying was just a child, perhaps the accumulated emotions over the years were too much.
She chattered on and on to her parents for nearly two hours before finally wiping away her tears and standing up.
"Son, what do we do now?" Mother Zhang looked at her son, the meaning clear: hurry and ask Dr. Wen!
Zhang Xin took out his phone and glanced at it, "Dr. Wen said to take Yingying home."
"And then?"
Zhang Xin shook his head; Doctor Wen only said this one sentence.
The two of them took Yingying home. It was late at night. They bought some food for Yingying and also gave her some fruit to take home.
Considering the fruit, that woman probably wouldn't make things too difficult for Yingying.
After sending Yingying home, Zhang Xin and his mother went back together. As soon as they got home, the notification sound on his phone went off. It was the special notification tone Zhang Xin had set for messages from Dr. Wen.
"Dr. Wen said that I might see Yingying's parents again tonight, so you should go to bed early."
Mother Zhang was momentarily stunned.
What does this mean?
Hasn't everything ended?
Why isn't it over yet..
"Mom, don't worry. Since Dr. Wen said so, there must be no problem. Yingying's parents probably just want to thank me." Although Zhang Xin said this to comfort his mother, he was also feeling uneasy inside.
"Think about it, Dr. Wen is so skilled, there's no way she'd let anything happen to me. After all, I'm her patient. If something were to happen to me, it would ruin her own reputation, wouldn't it?"
Mother Zhang looked at her son like this and could only nod.
But how could she possibly fall asleep?
At eleven o'clock in the evening, Zhang Xin checked once more; the light in his parents' bedroom was already off.
His room light was still on. After another half hour, Zhang Xin suddenly felt a bit of heart palpitations.
Could it be that Yingying's parents are angry because he didn't take the bus today?
How did he not think of that?
When they met yesterday, it was on the bus, so they inadvertently agreed on the time and place to meet again, still there.
But now, even if he set off, he wouldn't make it in time.
Time was inching closer to 11:40, and Zhang Xin lay in bed feeling as if each day dragged on like a year.
Tick-tock, tick-tock, the sound reminiscent of a clock began to echo.
Zhang Xin began to tremble, as if he had heard the sound of his door being opened.
Silent footsteps approached him, and the coldness in his body increased bit by bit. Zhang Xin felt his heartbeat quicken by dozens of times. If this continued, he might be scared to death immediately!
He threw off the quilt and crawled out, "Big brother, big sister, I've already brought Yingying to you, burned paper, and kowtowed! Why can't you let me go? I'm a good person! Yingying also told you, I really am a good person! Boohoo! I'm still young, I don't want to die, I still have elderly to take care of! I'm the only son in my family!"
The originally pitch-black air, for some unknown reason, saw the electric light start to flicker.
Zhang Xin was about to cry, "Doctor Wen, please save me!"
Dr. Wen, who was having a late-night snack, seemed to sense something, "Why isn't this little girl asleep?"
It seems now that the variable lies with the little girl, no wonder the proportions match.
[As long as it's for reputation points, I can help the host!]
Wen Ying ignored the excited system, took out the yellow paper, and removed the ballpoint pen from her hair.
And then..
[Host, are you sure you want to use the Flying and Burrowing skill twice in one day? This skill can only be used three times a month! Is it worth it? Is it cost-effective? Why not use reputation points instead? Not 998, not even 98, just 98,000! It's not expensive at all, is it? What are you waiting for, Host?]
After Wen Ying finished drawing the talisman, she said, "Use the flying and burrowing skill, and place the talisman on Ying Ying."
[Alright, the host is really stingy!]
The system was actually a bit conflicted when it said this. If you were to say the host was stingy, she had already used the three-times-a-month skill twice in one day, and without any extra charge!
Conscientious doctor!
But he was a heartless person who didn't care about being the host of this system!
