While Lin Ge was examining that jade pendant.Xia Li was also carefully observing the pendant in the Third Elder's hands. He roughly understood what it was.Just like when he'd previously asked the Heavenly Dao Computer a question, the Computer had given him a "light quantum."A light quantum that could change his fate and let him et his sister ahead of ti.It seed this world also had similar thods—able to comprehend Heaven's Dao causality and find what others sought.But what Xia Li never expected was that he himself would beco what soone else sought.Perhaps this was fate.Fate arising and fading—perhaps behind all coincidences lay predestination. Should he believe in fate?What was fate?Xia Li asked himself. Because he'd been in contact with the Heavenly Dao Computer, Xia Li could now reach a relatively rational conclusion.It was the objectively calculable, observable, changeable future.【Notification: Your understanding of Heaven's Dao 1】Just as Xia Li was lost in thought, Heaven Chip suddenly notified him that his understanding of Heaven's Dao had deepened by one degree."Alright, I'll take this jade pendant for now. You two young people take your ti chatting."After accomplishing his purpose, the Third Elder waved his sleeve and vanished on the spot, leaving Lin Ge staring at Xia Li with a strange expression.Her grandfather had appreciated other young people before—like Lin Yu, that number one genius of the Lin Family. Her grandfather was quite invested in him.But in terms of attitude...Her grandfather's attitude toward Xia Li was incomparably better than toward Lin Yu. Lin Yu, this blood relative, practically wasn't worthy of even carrying Xia Li's shoes."So, what exactly did you two talk about?"Lin Ge was extrely curious. She vaguely sensed that what Xia Li and her grandfather discussed was definitely directly related to her.Perhaps...Related to her mories from before age five, and the culprit who killed her parents.Her grandfather had only told her that her parents were killed by enemies. She didn't even know who the enemies were. Before age ten, she'd even been deceived that her parents had gone sowhere far away and couldn't return."You should be able to guess."Xia Li played the riddler. So things were indeed hard to explain to Lin Ge.For instance, that her mother wasn't from this world, and even in her mother's world, her mother wasn't considered a person with human rights.On Lin Ge's mother's hand...Before the flesh fell away, Xia Li had seen it.He'd seen a barcode.That was the symbol of being rchandise. Lin Ge's mother was a biological weapon, quite possibly a weapon Corporate Union had sold to Shushan Sword Sect.And the answers to all of this were perhaps in Zhiyuan City."Related to my parents? After all, my constitution was ntioned.""Mm."Xia Li nodded.Lin Ge hesitated a mont, turned her head to look around. No one was nearby, and her grandfather seed to have really left."Ahem... um, can I hug you?""Why?""I want to hear the sound of your heartbeat. I feel... inexplicably familiar.""Mm."Xia Li nodded. After understanding Lin Ge's past, he suddenly didn't dislike Lin Ge so much. Perhaps because Lin Ge's mother, like him, had once been an object.They had both co to this world through twist of fate, but their fates were completely different.Lin Ge's mother could never return, but he could go back and freely travel between both worlds."Thanks!"Lin Ge walked forward openly, bowing her head and pressing her ear to Xia Li's chest.Besides the thump-thump of his heartbeat, there was also a click-click sound, a crisp alien tone keeping rhythm with his heartbeat.This sound was very familiar to her—like returning to her mother's embrace. Hearing this sound gave her an indescribable peace.A blurry figure erged in her mind.The figure gently held her and humd a little tune. She too humd along from mory.But... the mory was too fuzzy to hum completely.Yet just as she paused for a second or two...Xia Li humd the continuation, and she recalled more mories related to her mother.Until the song ended, her eyes were already brimming with tears, her face buried deep in Xia Li's chest as she wept softly."What's this song... called?""Für Elise. I haven't heard it in a long ti either. The last ti I heard it was..."When was the last ti he'd heard it?The class bell in high school?

Or a street sprinkler truck passing by?Or...The self-recording video at the research facility right before being frozen?It was her!!!Xia Li suddenly thought of soone.A girl who'd been frozen before him—her video recording for her family was of her playing piano, and it was this very Für Elise.Her face...What did she look like?【Heaven Chip, stimulate the brain, conduct mory search and awakening!】【Please specify approximate ti point...】【Year 2030, May 1st】【Please try to recall mories from that day. The search process may cause so mild pain】Then...Xia Li felt past mories surge like tides in his mind, mories flashing back rapidly like a revolving lantern.Soon, he arrived at May 1st.As if experiencing it firsthand, Xia Li once again returned to the day of freezing.Outside a room in the research facility.Xia Li waited for the previous person to finish recording, thinking about what to say in his ssage to family. Should he pretend to be brave and say things like "we'll definitely et again"?Suddenly...Piano music played—that very Für Elise.When the piano music ended, a sickly girl pushed open the door and walked out. Xia Li smiled at her."Beautifully played!""Thank you...""A sha about your musical talent.""I just didn't know what else to leave behind. Since childhood I've never had freedom—I could only keep practicing piano as my family arranged...""Sorry."Xia Li felt embarrassed."It's fine. Perhaps leaving like this is for the best. If I can wake up soday, I'd actually hope my so-called family is already gone. Then I'd be free.""What do you want to do in the future?""Travel, I suppose. If I can wake up soday, I definitely want to travel the world. Do you think technology will be very advanced by then? Will we have a chance to go to space?""There really might be that chance!"Hearing this, Xia Li also beca curious about the future, began to anticipate it, and for the first ti started yearning for his incomplete life to bloom again."Then let's go together when the ti cos? I made a complete travel plan while bedridden. I wanted to use being cured as an excuse to go out and relax, but a terminal illness is a terminal illness...""It's only terminal now. For the future, it might just be a minor illness. If we can wake up then, I'll definitely travel with you! We fellow patients will probably wake up in the sa batch anyway.""Then it's a deal. I'm Ning Ge. And you?"Ning Ge extended her right hand toward Xia Li, indicating a handshake to beco friends."Xia Li.""By the way, why are you shaking with your left hand?""The tumor in my right lung spread severely and affected my right shoulder. Raising my arm hurts a lot.""Sorry. Wishing you recovery. May all pain be far from us when we wake.""Mm, wishing you recovery too. May all pain be far from us when we wake."The two smiled as they shook hands, planting a seed of comfort in their hearts, no longer so afraid of being frozen, instead beginning to anticipate their new lives after awakening.From that mont on, they beca friends.The mory ended there."Xia Li? Xia Li, what are you spacing out about?""Hey!!"Lin Ge waved her hand in front of Xia Li, having noticed he'd suddenly gone dazed.Being frozen would cause so damage to the brain, losing so mories, but they could be recovered through Heaven Chip.Through this incident, Xia Li had recovered a friend. He'd thought nothing worth caring about had happened before he was frozen."Nothing..."Xia Li forced an ugly smile. The old mories recalled during this daze had kindled a fire in his heart that couldn't be extinguished.It even reignited the embers of rage he'd suppressed back in Wind Crane City.If only she were still alive.If they could et in this world, perhaps they could fulfill that old promise—accompany her on a journey through this world.But why!Why did nothing go as he wished?In this mont, Xia Li deeply recognized his own insignificance, his own powerlessness. He didn't even dare shout his anger aloud—the cowardly flas of rage could only form dying embers.What was cultivating truth?Cultivating until all was as he wished.【Notification: You are developing a Dao Heart】【Congratulations, you have taken a crucial step】
