Female lead: No, it's me again??

Chapter 296 Seems Different

"Not at all, sir. I'll go and get back to work now."

"Ah."

Manager Cai led Dongling away.

"Ah Li, are you alright?"

Feng Siyue's eyes were filled with worry.

Xuan Li ate a candied hawthorn and said carelessly, "I'm fine~ Apart from being a little tired, I don't feel uncomfortable."

Feng Siyue grasped her hand, blaming herself, "It's all my fault. If I hadn't asked you for help, you wouldn't have..."

Ok?

This kind of thinking is unacceptable.

Xuan Li quickly sat up straight and turned to her, "Oh, why are you saying all this? It's not your fault!"

"It's just a heart condition. I'll just be more careful in the future."

Even though Xuan Li comforted her, Feng Siyue's guilt not only did not disappear, but grew even stronger.

Her heart felt like it was being crushed by a boulder, making it hard to breathe.

Xuan Li sensed the turmoil in her emotions and continued to soothe her, "It's okay, I had my reasons, it was my own problem! It has nothing to do with you!"

"I'm still hoping you'll become a god soon!"

"Qingqing said that besides the forgiveness of the Heavenly Dao Laws, there is also the ability to remove the suffering beyond the laws. Only when you become stronger in the future can I escape this sea of ​​suffering as soon as possible!"

Feng Siyue felt a pang of sadness. "But... who knows how long that will take... and heart disease will torment you for a long time..."

Becoming a god is a very long road.

Xuan Li's face was pale, but his eyes showed no fear. "Hey, who am I?! A little pain is nothing to me!"

The other party's comforting words and feigned nonchalance brought tears to Feng Siyue's eyes.

She thought that instead of comforting her like that, it would be more effective to scold her.

But she didn't want Ali to feel burdened.

Why does God always present her with problems that she cannot solve at this stage?

So, is it just to tell her that you're no good and that you can't salvage anything?

Or perhaps, it was just to make her understand...

In this life, we are constantly losing.

Feng Siyue's lowered eyes gradually became moist.

Seeing that she was getting more and more depressed, Xuan Li wasn't good at comforting people, so he changed the subject, "I'm a little sleepy and want to take a nap. Why don't you go to Qingli Academy and check the enrollment requirements?"

"We'll go back when you come back."

As he spoke, Xuan Li yawned appropriately.

She placed the candied hawthorn on the counter and warned, "Tangyuan, don't steal my candied hawthorn!"

The little guy squatted by the pillow and proudly shook his head.

Xuan Li lay down, pulled the blanket over his face with both hands, and covered half of his face.

Feng Siyue closed her eyes briefly. "Okay."

Xuan Li quickly urged them on, "Hurry up and go. If you have time, remember to bring me beggar's chicken. I want to eat beggar's chicken!"

"Okay, I'll bring it to you. You get some rest."

"Uh-huh!"

Xuan Li closed his eyes, stretched out his paw, and waved it at her.

"Go, go, go~"

His tone was as cheerful as ever.

Feng Siyue stood up, and as she turned around, a tear slid down her reddened eye. She sniffed softly, closed the door, and left.

Xuan Li opened his eyes only after the person left.

His expression was complicated.

Feng Siyue, don't cry for me.

"Ya Ya, will the power within me really keep me asleep forever?"

“Ali.…”

Shenya hesitated.

Should she tell Ali the truth?

"Ya Ya, I told you I want to hear the truth, don't hide it from me."

She didn't want to be someone who knew nothing, nor did she want to live amidst the lies of her companions.

Shen Ya struggled for a while before finally saying,

“Ah Li, there is a power within you that is bound by laws. I don’t know where it comes from, but I’ve heard you say that it is your last trump card.”

"Born just for you".

"When you were young, when your bloodline was missing and your soul was damaged, you used it once unintentionally. That time, it almost cost you half your life."

"I think the same applies now."

"Your bloodline is gone, your soul is not awakened. You can draw upon power, but you will also bring divine punishment. Each use will consume your life."

After listening, Xuan Li finally understood.

"Therefore, if my memories do not return and my bloodline power does not return, then if I touch this power again in the future, I... will never wake up again."

"Ah."

But something seems off.

“Ya Ya, you didn’t seem to mention the word ‘divine soul’ when you talked to Feng Siyue and the others before.”

Ya Ya explained earnestly, "A Li, I have no objection to your trust in Feng Siyue, Qingqing, or even Feng Rou."

“But since it concerns your safety, I can never tell anyone your real secret. Besides, this is the same secret you told me in the first place.”

She and Ali were best friends, but even best friends have secrets they can't tell others.

Ali told her this because she trusted her. Although she didn't know where it came from, she might know who was behind it.

Therefore, she wouldn't speak while Ali's soul was not yet restored.

Did I say that to her in the past?

Xuan Li didn't ask any further questions.

She understood Ya Ya's actions because she was worried.

Is there really no way to cure my heart ailment?

Shen Ya said, "Not now."

No.....

Xuan Li sighed, seemingly unconcerned, "It's alright, it's just a heart condition, I can bear it."

Seeing how calmly she accepted it, Shenya felt like crying. "Ali, the consequences of divine punishment will only get worse and worse as time goes on."

"I'm sorry, I couldn't stop you..."

Divine punishment is not something easily endured.

Moreover, Ali has never suffered hardship. She is the kind of person who needs to be coaxed to apply medicine even if she accidentally cuts her finger.

How could she bear the excruciating pain, the pain that felt like being torn apart?

Xuan Li blinked, then suddenly asked optimistically, "Will I die from the pain later?"
