Gasp! She's a Time Traveler Using Modern Tech to Improve Ancient Life-Chapter 547 - 546: The Turning of the Starry River

Chapter 547: Chapter 546: The Turning of the Starry River

After Wang Bocheng left, Lin Wanwan sat alone by the river for a long time. It wasn’t until the coffee was completely cold that she picked up the note and left with an oblivious Fugui.

She first took Fugui home, and then drove to the hospital.

Driving in this direction, Lin Wanwan always felt her heart was heavy.

She drove very slowly, wanting to go but not daring to.

Yet today, it was green lights all the way; she didn’t even have to stop and reached the hospital entrance.

In a hospital where usually there was a queue for parking, today there was no queue at all and she could drive straight in.

After parking, she sat in the car for a long time, unable to muster the courage to open the car door, simply because she really didn’t know how to face Lu Shouyue.

After a long while, she lifted her head from the steering wheel, looked at the note again, then opened the car door and walked to the fruit stall at the entrance.

"Miss, what would you like?"

Lin Wanwan pointed to a floral basket: "Make a fruit basket."

"Sure, what price range?"

Lin Wanwan sighed: "The most expensive one."

The owner grinned: "Alright, then we’ll use all imported fruits, 388 yuan, auspicious and pleasant."

Lin Wanwan didn’t really pay attention to what he was saying, just looking dazedly at the bustling street outside.

"You’re visiting a patient, right? 388, say goodbye to illness, the patient will recover soon."

"Yes."

Lin Wanwan absent-mindedly echoed the owner, only coming to her senses to ask, "How much is it?" after he finished packaging.

The owner looked up: "388 yuan, it’s all imported fruits inside, you can have a look."

Lin Wanwan took out her phone to scan the code and pay, then walked slowly toward the inpatient building.

She didn’t know how, but in a blink, she found herself at the door of the ward. Lin Wanwan raised her hand several times but didn’t have the courage to knock.

Just then, the door opened from inside, startling Lin Wanwan.

The person who appeared was Lu Shouyue’s mother, the elegant lady Ye Yinyin.

"Hello, Auntie Ye."

"It’s Wanwan." Ye Yinyin’s eyes lit up, "Here to see Shouyue? He just fell asleep. Are you free? Join Auntie for some afternoon tea."

Lin Wanwan quickly placed the fruit basket she was holding into the ward corridor, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "Is his injury not serious?"

Actually, there was no need to ask. The moment she saw Ye Yinyin, Lin Wanwan guessed that Lu Shouyue was probably fine, otherwise his mother wouldn’t be so bright and gentle-looking.

Besides, if it were really serious, Wang Bocheng would have mentioned it earlier.

"Not serious, he had a scare but no danger, luckily it was a bulletproof car." Ye Yinyin smiled and replied, "He had a full-body checkup. The doctor said his sleep is very poor, possibly due to fatigue driving."

"Oh, that’s good." Lin Wanwan breathed a sigh of relief, "Since Mr. Lu is sleeping, I won’t disturb him."

"Join Auntie for tea, Shouyue won’t wake up for a while, let’s chat first." Ye Yinyin repeated.

Looking at Ye Yinyin’s elegant and noble face, Lin Wanwan couldn’t refuse and said, "Okay."

"Wanwan, did you drive?"

Lin Wanwan nodded: "Yes."

"That’s great, Auntie will ride with you then."

"I’m still in the probationary period..."

"No worries, Auntie trusts you, let’s go."

After getting in the car and fastening her seatbelt, Lin Wanwan remembered to ask, "Auntie Ye, where are we going for tea?"

"Shengshi Sea View Mansion, do you know the way? It’s very close to the hospital."

Isn’t this the neighborhood where Lu Shouyue lives?

"I know."

On the drive there, they exchanged only a few words as Ye Yinyin noticed Lin Wanwan seemed tense while driving and refrained from further conversation.

Back at Lu Shouyue’s home, the large balcony was as picturesque as always.

"Wanwan, have a seat wherever you like, I’ll make the tea."

"Auntie Ye, let me help you."

"There’s no need, just wait to drink."

Although she told Lin Wanwan to wait, shortly afterward Ye Yinyin called, "Wanwan, could you help me fetch a silver cup specifically for afternoon tea from the playroom? It’s the first room on the right in the living room. Boys always misplace things, took it and never brought it back."

"Oh, okay."

Lin Wanwan got up and walked to the playroom, pushing the door which felt different from a regular door. It was very heavy, clearly a soundproof door.

The playroom was about fifty or sixty square meters, with a clear view layout, containing an ancient zither, piano, erhu, drum kit, guitar, and various musical instruments, along with some high-tech equipment Lin Wanwan was not familiar with.

She walked into the playroom, searching for the silver cup Ye Yinyin mentioned, but instead of finding the cup, she first discovered a uniquely decorated wall of photographs.

Little photos clipped and swaying with the breeze from the window, and several blue patterns like floral vines climbing from the floor to the ceiling.

Lin Wanwan was instantly captivated and out of curiosity walked closer for a look, suddenly realizing this was no photo wall, but a collection of small sketches... Each one was of Lin Wanwan.

Some were of her laughing heartily, some being playful, lost in thought, glaring, or tipsy...

And those weren’t floral vines, but lines upon lines of small text...

Lin Wanwan, shocked, covered her mouth and immediately choked up.

Among the gaps between these photos were many words—

"I did not know the taste of farewell was so desolate, I did not know that saying goodbye required so much strength."

"Because I met you, I learned I could also have beautiful memories. So, no matter how you treat me, I will forgive your hatred with all my heart, and remember your kindness with all my heart."

"Many things can’t be controlled, no matter how lonely or secluded, you must keep going, no stopping or looking back allowed."

"Life is a train headed for the tomb, with many stops along the way, rarely can anyone accompany you to the end. When the person accompanying you has to get off, even if unwilling, you should be grateful, then wave goodbye..."

All are classic quotes from Hayao Miyazaki’s animations.

Lin Wanwan did not know how much she read until her vision became completely blurry, only then did she realize her face was covered in tears.

She was completely unguarded!

A man so mature, composed, and calm, how could he do something that a seventeen or eighteen-year-old first love boy might do?

This love was too heavy, failing such a genuine heart filled Lin Wanwan with a deep sense of sin.

"Surprising, isn’t it? Like a boy just falling in love." Ye Yinyin’s voice suddenly came from behind, "I was startled too when I saw it last night."

Lin Wanwan didn’t dare turn to look at her.

"There’s something else that can only be discovered in the dark." Ye Yinyin picked up a remote from the wall control, pressed it twice, and the light-blocking curtains and soundproof window slowly closed, then she also shut the soundproof door behind her.

All the noise and light from the world retreated, and the room darkened, what could be seen was a scene of fluorescence.

The lines in these sketches were drawn with a special pencil containing fluorescent powder, appearing like a galaxy in the dark night.

The stars move in the sky, the curtains fall in the world.
