The things Su Qing did didn't seem like much on the surface, but over a little more than a month, they accumulated enough to make those with a keen sense notice his uniqueness.

Even Lin Chengcai didn't know how he did it, but it was undeniable that he must be someone with special talents.

Even law enforcement agencies would give special consideration to someone with such talents.

Every year, law enforcement agencies across the country recruit people with special talents from society, as long as they help solve cases, the nation won't rigidly follow procedures.

There was a case where a local police department recruited a fourteen-year-old as a network security consultant.

That child had superb computer skills and repeatedly helped the police solve many cases through a series of hacking methods. Faced with such talent, could they just disregard them because they didn't pass an exam or because they were too young?

In Lin Chengcai's eyes, Su Qing was also a talent in this regard and has already started to show potential.

No matter how he did it, just being able to understand people's minds was worth utilizing, after all, he had personally experienced it.

After Su Qing came home, he changed his clothes and went to sleep, since the day's events had thoroughly exhausted him.

Aunt Shen didn't come to disturb him, who knows where she went.

The next day, he felt like he had been sleeping in a daze for a long time, with his whole body aching and heavy eyelids, until a cold hand was placed on his forehead.

"Oh, you're so hot, are you having a fever?" A voice came, followed by someone patting his face.

It took a lot of effort to open his eyes, and a familiar face came into view. It was Shen Yi, who was looking at him anxiously.

"Why are you here?" Su Qing spoke, but his voice was extremely hoarse, and his throat hurt quite a bit.

He had always had an average physique, and last night he even took a cold bath in the river. He actually felt a little uncomfortable in the hotel, but since there were a lot of people and the temperature was low, he didn't pay much attention to it.

Unexpectedly, once he lay down at home, he couldn't get up.

"You didn't answer your phone or reply to WeChat. If I didn't come, you'd be burning with fever without knowing it. Get up quickly, I'll take you to the hospital," Shen Yi reached into his quilt to pull him up.

But how much strength could she have? She couldn't pull a man who was as limp as mud.

Knowing he was busy yesterday, Shen Yi didn't disturb him after Su Qing dropped off Huang in the morning, not even at night.

But by the second day's noon, there was still no movement. She couldn't hold back, sent him a WeChat message, and then found no reply. The call was answered by voicemail, and that's how she ended up coming over to check.

Luckily, she knew the code to the front door, so she let herself in. She finally found him in his bedroom and soon realized the boy's face was unnaturally red. When she touched it, it was scarily hot.

"Stop... easy there, my dear auntie, let me recover a bit. It's just a fever. It's not going to kill me. Could you pour me a glass of water?" Su Qing quickly said.

After drinking a glass of water, he felt a lot better, and he soon forced himself up to find some fever-reducing medicine and swallowed it down.

"So hot, are you sure you don't need to go to the hospital?" Shen Yi reprimanded seeing he was determined not to go, her face filled with worry.

"Sis, not every illness requires a hospital visit. I've just got a fever. At most, they'll give me some IV fluids if I go there. They can't really operate on me, right? Let's try some fever-reducing medicine first and see if it works."

He's not a child anymore, needing a hospital for something as simple as a fever. Who hasn't experienced headaches or colds and fevers? He once had diarrhea that dehydrated him without going to the hospital, so this minor illness was nothing in comparison.

"You're just being stubborn, what did you do yesterday to end up like this? I saw the clothes in your bathroom are all wet."

"Yesterday... wait, what time is it now?"

"It's already twelve."

Upon hearing this, he suddenly remembered Xu Yuezhen and Ding Qiang, quickly ran upstairs, got his phone, and charged it.

As soon as he turned it on, a string of messages popped up with missed calls, WeChat messages, totaling dozens.

Most calls were from Wang Xing; Ding Qiang, Qin Wei, and Xu Yue'ru all sent him messages.

He quickly returned the call, and as soon as it connected, Wang Xing's voice came through:

"Damn, Qingzi, what happened? Why was your phone off?"

"It's nothing, I just woke up. What's the situation with you?"

"I just sent away the ferret. Oh, and San'er's girlfriend and Da Qiang left together. Qiangzi sent me a message saying we shouldn't go and see them off."

Hearing this, Su Qing was taken aback. Then he checked WeChat and indeed saw the messages from Ding Qiang and Xu Yuezhen. Rubbing his head, he sighed and said, "Got it, that's it then, I'll call them later."

After hanging up, he clicked on Xu Yuezhen's WeChat, which had a few messages and a photo of a train station.

'Please forgive my sudden departure, but still, I want to thank you. But don't worry, I'm fine now. This time for real, I'm ready to start a new life, becoming a teacher, doing volunteer teaching, doing something meaningful, and fulfilling what he and I agreed upon.

You're right, death isn't necessarily a reunion; maybe it's just never seeing each other again. Only by living can we remember.

Back then, we had a card with 3,000 yuan, and he said he would use it to buy me a Qixi Festival gift. Although it feels a bit inappropriate, I decided to keep it, using it to buy myself a gift every year on Qixi. It should last a lifetime.

Don't worry, I might come back after a few years, by then I could help take care of his parents.'

'Goodbye, one of my few friends, even though we've only known each other for less than a day.'

The lengthy message was meant to assure him not to worry, but it also indirectly indicated that her current state should be pretty good.

[You've successfully untangled her heart. Though she may remain alone, she chooses a life towards hope, without much regret.]

Hearing the narration in his mind, Su Qing breathed a sigh of relief. Although this girl might not accept other men in the future, this outcome was already quite promising.

He could persuade on other matters, but when it came to feelings, he really couldn't. He hadn't even managed to persuade Wang Xing about it, let alone this.

"Is that a girl? Who is she? Calling you one of her few friends."

Shen Yi came over, her tone slightly sour, not even noticing it herself.

Hearing this, he raised his hand and flicked her on the forehead.

"Ouch, what are you doing~~"

"Stop being sarcastic and trying to imitate that little blackie. Come on, let me see your chicken feet."

Shen Yi: ???

"What little blackie, what chicken feet?"

No choice, the two had a generation gap, and Shen Yi was busy with work, even knowing less about these trending online jokes than the most knowledgeable sister in Gotham City.

"Alright, stop being cheeky. I'll lie down for a bit longer. Could you get me a blanket from upstairs?"

"Sleep again? No, no, you still have a fever!"

"I've taken medicine, it's fine!"

"Still not okay, you haven't eaten anything. Wait up, I'll make you some soup!"

"Forget it, by the time you're done cooking, I'll have fallen asleep again!"

"No need, it's around lunch. Sister Qing's house should have food. I'll go ask for some!"

With that, the dignified Miss Shen went to beg for food.

The landlady and Mother Wen, hearing he had a fever, quickly warmed up some chicken soup. Even Mother Wen specially made ginger soup, saying it helps to sweat.

In less than half an hour, Aunt Shen returned with a simple food box and force-fed it to him.

"Hmm, this chicken soup tastes pretty good. Sister Wen knows how to cook?" Su Qing was a bit surprised.

The two rich ladies he knew actually knew how to cook, that wasn't logical?

"Her? Forget it, this was made by Xiao Yun's grandma, who is also Sister Wen's mom." Shen Yi explained, fearing he wouldn't understand.

After all, the little girl was named Wen, so her maternal grandma became her grandma.

"It's embarrassing to trouble others." Hearing that it was made by the little girl's grandma, he felt somewhat embarrassed.

"You, embarrassed? Just eat. The older lady heard you helped her daughter, and she has a good impression of you, almost treating you like a son-in-law."

"Pfft."

Upon hearing this, Su Qing spit out the chicken soup, glaring at her.

After finishing a bowl of chicken soup and a bowl of ginger soup, he felt significantly better, even breaking a sweat on his forehead.

Shen Yi wrapped him in a blanket again.

By two in the afternoon, his fever had reduced significantly, and at that moment, a narration suddenly appeared.

[With preparations made, Li Zijun, along with his master and Zhao Minghui, will arrive in five minutes. The transition point in your life approaches once more. Please tread carefully.]

Su Qing:...
