Chapter 286: Chapter 186: Awakening in Progress_3

At first, Qin Huai didn’t quite understand why Luo Jun and Chen Huihong were trying to bolster him up early, hinting that not every spirit can successfully transcend their tribulations, and even if they fail, he shouldn’t be burdened with guilt.

After seeing all of Luo Jun’s memories, Qin Huai understood a little better.

Often it’s not that the spirits can’t transcend, it’s that they don’t want to. Their tribulation was never others, it’s their own heart. They can’t overcome their own hurdles, can’t forgive themselves for various reasons, leading their obsessions to deepen, making it impossible to escape their own distortions.

However, Qin Huai didn’t expect that despite what she said, Chen Huihong’s actions were quite different. She might have said that Qu Jing’s chances of successfully transcending were slim, and even if she failed, Qin Huai shouldn’t feel guilty, as these were destinies the spirits had to face, with little others could do.

Yet in private, she would always visit Luo Jun’s house for fruits, go to Qu Jing’s house to talk, and check all tools to prevent self-harm.

One has to admit, Plant Spirits naturally have a kind heart.

Qin Huai looked at Qu Jing, feeling that she somehow seemed different after not seeing her for over a month.

The previous Qu Jing was always indifferent, seeing everything as insignificant, except when it came to patients she was especially attentive and warm, treating everything else with equal disinterest, as if everything was just clouds floating by.

But now,

Even though she was still indifferent, there was a hint of vitality.

Previously, Qin Huai wasn’t sure if Qu Jing could live long, but now he was certain.

It’s highly likely that Qu Jing would live to a ripe old age.

Qin Huai smiled and said, "Dean Qu should be very happy."

Qu Jing nodded and took a scarf out of her bag, "Mrs. Qu is very grateful to you all. She specially knitted a scarf for you, Sister Hong, and Mr. Luo. Qin Huai, yours was finished first, this is a picture Mrs. Qu picked online. I think it looks quite nice, not sure why it feels a bit familiar, maybe it resembles another design."

Qin Huai quickly took the scarf, took a closer look.

Hmm...

It did look very familiar, that logo was unmistakably familiar.

L...V.

Dean Qu certainly has an eye for aesthetics, picking out one of the most universally recognized luxury brands from a slew of online pictures.

Qin Huai didn’t say anything, silently putting the scarf away.

Say what you will, Dean Qu’s craftsmanship is really quite good, the stitches are excellent, and the overall look of the scarf is quite beautiful, from a distance it doesn’t even look fake.

Who could refuse a genuinely hand-knitted LV-style wool scarf?

Qin Huai glanced at the time, realizing it was not even 3 o’clock, finally sensing that something was off, and asked:

"Are you on the day shift or night shift today?"

By this time, the day shift wouldn’t have ended, and the night shift should be sleeping now, so why was Qu Jing at Yunzhong Restaurant at this time?

"I got off early today," Qu Jing said, "Our hospital is sending me to the Gusu branch for a two-month training. I’ll depart the day after tomorrow, and don’t have to work this afternoon or tomorrow, so I can go home and pack my things."

"I’m here today specifically to ask you about the situation in Gusu, what kind of clothes I need for the seasons there, how the weather is, and whether commuting is convenient."

"I’ll be staying in the hospital’s staff dormitory during the training, but you know my situation, living with others can be inconvenient, so I’m planning to rent a place outside."

"Do you have any recommended areas?"

Qin Huai thought for a moment, "I’m not familiar with the areas, but I can recommend a full set of smart home appliances, and a good traditional Chinese medicine bone-setting shop."

Qu Jing: ?

"But since you’re going to Gusu the day after tomorrow, I have a presumptuous request to ask of you." Qin Huai said seriously.

Qu Jing, misled by Qin Huai’s serious look into thinking it was something important, immediately sat up straight, nodded earnestly, and said, "Go ahead."

"When the time comes, I’ll give you special treats, just don’t say it’s from Huang Ji."

"And don’t call for errands to buy snacks from Huang Ji."

Huang Ji’s business is already great, it can’t get any better.

Qin Huai truly feared the private hospital where Qu Jing worked, how high exactly were the salaries you gave to doctors, to make them so well-off?

Qu Jing nodded in confusion.

Although Qin Huai had lived in Gusu for over a month, he wasn’t very familiar with Gusu, as his activities were limited to within 1 km around Huang Ji.

But since Qu Jing wanted to rent a place, Qin Huai could help with that. He got the address of the hospital in Gusu from Qu Jing, then sent it to Gong Liang, asking him to have his assistant check out nearby rental listings.

Since Qu Jing had to go home to pack her bags, she didn’t stay long after getting the special treats packed, and then left.

After Qu Jing left, Qin Huai pondered her condition for a while, thought about it, and opened the game panel, flipping to the illustrated guide.

When Qin Huai last looked at the recipes, he hadn’t really paid attention to others’ illustrated statuses.

Qu Jing’s illustration was ranked fourth.

Surname: Qu Jing

Species: Unknown

Status: About to awaken

Dream: 0/1

Recipe: None

Gift: None

Indeed, Qu Jing’s status had changed.

Chen Huihong’s effort of collecting fruits didn’t go to waste, Qu Jing’s status shifted from complete amnesia to about to awaken. It could be said that Qu Jing was just one last opportunity away from starting her awakening.

This time, the Plant Spirits are scoring big!
