Chapter 2737 — I Will Go Back
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
"I..." Wei Zhao did have his difficulties. Ever since his master had left, he had followed his master's parting instructions: apart from studying under Old Man Wei on West Star Mountain, he had been out in the world gaining experience. Over the years he had never truly rested. Even now, with this last mission, he had never really taken a holiday, and so he had never returned to that island called X Island.
The Princess's words could not help but remind him of his childhood, of the two tagalongs in his training squad, Xiao Qi and the Hack Princess. It seemed he really ought to find the time to go back and have a look...
"Heh heh, it's all right, go do what you need to do!" The Hack Princess laughed, as though she did not care, but Wei Zhao could hear the hope and longing in her tone.
"After a while, I will go back!" Wei Zhao rarely made promises, but this time he gave one.
As for the Hack Princess, Wei Zhao did not know with what attitude he should face her when they met again. As children, Xiao Qi and the Princess had been his childhood sweethearts, so to speak. Over the years, from the tone of the Hack Princess's calls, Wei Zhao could sense her affection for him, but perhaps that affection would vanish once the two of them met...
The tender feelings of childhood, with growing age and passing time, had become a permanent memory fixed in recollection.
Wei Zhao had once believed that he would spend his whole life endlessly taking on missions and completing them, until one day he grew old and, like Old Man Wei, adopted a child and repeated the life he had once lived.
And at this time Wei Zhao was also the least willing to face matters of the heart, for he knew that his work might cost him his life at any moment. For him, affection was a luxury and nothing more.
But after coming to Songshan City, the trajectory of Wei Zhao's life had changed. It seemed that things were not as he had imagined; gradually he had come to have a life of his own, and so he had accepted Yu Ning.
And now, facing the Hack Princess once more, Wei Zhao finally found that he could confront her squarely. What worried him, however, was that the feelings of childhood might no longer exist, and that upon meeting again they would become mere ordinary friends.
Better to remember than to meet.
Even so, this matter could not be evaded forever; there had to be a resolution. The childhood sweethearts of those years could only remain in the memories of childhood.
"Ah?" The Hack Princess was slightly taken aback. She had not expected Wei Zhao to say such a thing; in the past, he had never once mentioned coming back.
But before the Hack Princess could say anything more, Wei Zhao had already hung up.
Wei Zhao was worried about Wang Xinyan's situation, so he did not linger to exchange pleasantries with the Hack Princess. After saying a word to Gu Mengyao, he left the villa and headed for Donghai City First Hospital.
At the First Hospital, Wei Zhao had no trouble finding the ward number Wang Xinyan had registered under at the service desk, and went straight to the ward—only to see, to his surprise, that Xiao Qinlin, Xiao Ji, Xiao Ben, and Kang Jinglong were all there.
