Chapter 115: Chapter 112 Blooming and Bearing Fruit (1st Update)

The two crossed paths, and Yin Xian exclaimed in surprise, his eyes suddenly lighting up: "Li Si? What are you doing here?"

"I’m here for dinner with some friends!" At that moment, she felt discomfort in her stomach and didn’t want to talk much with him, especially when Ye Duowei beside her was glaring at her with such an annoying expression. She felt an urge to slap her a few times right then and there.

"Li Si, why is your face so pale?" Yin Xian ignored Ye Duowei’s silent cues and continued asking with concern. Being able to see Li Si here made him genuinely happy. It had been so long since they’d met. But in an instant, he noticed her pale complexion and the pained look on her face, prompting him to ask worriedly.

"It’s nothing! We’re leaving now!" She truly didn’t want to stay here anymore; it felt suffocating, and her stomach still hurt a bit. Perhaps it was because she had forced herself to eat so much earlier that even her stomach was protesting.

"Alright then! Let’s talk again sometime!" Yin Xian watched with a sense of loss as Li Si walked away, flanked by two strikingly handsome and imposing men. He stood there for a long time, lost in thought, unable to recover himself.

Ye Duowei glared resentfully at Li Si’s retreating figure, stamping her foot in frustration. Why was she here? And why was she attracting Yin Xian’s attention?

"Brother Xian, let’s go! My birthday party is about to start!"

Yin Xian came back to his senses and apologized with a smile: "Sorry, Weiwei, I got distracted! Let’s go!"

In the car, Leng Mochen noticed Li Si lightly pressing her hand against her stomach, her expression somewhat pained.

"Girl, is your stomach hurting?"

Li Si shook her head weakly: "No, it’s just a bit bloated! Maybe I ate too much!"

"You!" Leng Mochen shook his head. "You’re just like a child."

"Who was that guy you ran into just now?"

"Oh! That’s the uncle of the little boy I helped find when he got lost." Li Si responded faintly, looking out the car window.

Once they got home, Li Si rushed into the bathroom and vomited into the toilet. After a while, she rinsed her mouth, washed her hands, and came out.

Leng Mochen frowned deeply: "Why are you throwing up? Could it be because you donated bone marrow?"

It had been almost a year since Leng Mochen had gotten to know Li Si. Aside from that one time she fell ill after getting caught in the rain, she’d never been sick. What was wrong now? Could the harm to her body be this severe?

After throwing up, however, Li Si actually felt much better. She smiled and said, "It’s fine! Big Brother, I just ate something weird! Look, I’m fine now, aren’t I?"

Leng Mochen pulled her to him, placing a hand on her forehead. "No fever! You need to rest well. If I’d known this was going to happen, I wouldn’t have taken you out!"

He felt a bit guilty, knowing she was still in a weakened state. How could he have been so indecisive and agreed to her request to go out?

Li Si quickly reassured him, grabbing his arm: "Big Brother, I’m really fine! Look, I’m back to full health now!"

He patted her head. "If you feel unwell, we’ll go to the hospital, okay?"

When Li Si heard the word "hospital," her face froze for a moment before quickly returning to normal. She shook her head: "I don’t want to go! Big Brother, why don’t we head back to North City now?"

This idea had just crossed her mind—she didn’t want to stay in this city another moment. The mere thought of remaining made her feel uneasy.

Leng Mochen glanced at the clock in the living room, surprised. It was 5:30 PM. The daily flight from Beijing to North City, which departed at 4 PM, had already left.

"Girl, the flight’s already gone. We can’t leave until tomorrow. But you just said yesterday that you wanted to stay a few more days. Why the sudden change of heart?"

Li Si tried to come up with an excuse: "I suddenly crave Uncle Bo’s Home Cooking dishes. Let’s go back, okay? Big Brother, there are no flights today, so we’ll leave tomorrow! I just can’t stand being here any longer!"

"Something’s not right! You’re definitely hiding something from me! Did she call you? What did she say?" Leng Mochen immediately suspected something. If nothing had happened, this girl wouldn’t be so eager to leave.

Li Si shook her head. "Nothing! Big Brother, please don’t ask! Besides, the company has a pile of work waiting for you to deal with. Isn’t it better to head back early?"

Leng Mochen grabbed her shoulders, looking at her intently: "Girl, I won’t press you for answers. But remember, the company is never more important than you! Got it?"

Li Si was moved to the verge of tears. "Big Brother, why are you so good to me? I’m so touched I could cry! You’re awful!" After holding it in for so long, she finally let her tears well up under the pretense of being moved.

"No crying—you won’t look pretty if you cry!" He gently caressed her face, his eyes filled with tenderness and heartache. What a kind-hearted little girl she was, always enduring hardships on her own rather than asking for his help.

Lately, Li Si felt like her tear ducts were working overtime. It was as if her tears were free, ready to flow at a moment’s notice. Who could she blame? Perhaps every choice you make eventually demands repayment on the road of life.

"Alright! Big Brother, I’m going to sleep now!" She’d been through so much in just one day and was exhausted. Maybe sleep would make everything better.

Leng Mochen nodded, watching her slight, fragile figure disappear. He let out a soft sigh.

Then, he stepped onto the terrace and made a call to Jiang Feng.

"Find out what Tian Yaruo was up to today immediately!"

"Understood, Mr. Leng!"

After giving his instructions, Leng Mochen gazed at the stars overhead, lost in thought.

Meanwhile, Li Si, holding her Paul Frank plush toy, locked the bedroom door. She listened for sounds outside until everything fell silent. Sneaking into the magical space, she was greeted by the sight of Xiao Guai bounding toward her excitedly.

"Awwwww..."

Seeing it so lively, Li Si couldn’t help but laugh and hugged it tightly. "You’re so heavy! Xiao Guai, you need to go on a diet!" She waved the Paul Frank toy in front of it. "Look at this! What do you think?"

"Awwwoo..." Xiao Guai looked excited, grabbing the slightly smaller Paul Frank and studying it. It spoke in a language Li Si couldn’t understand, seemingly trying to communicate.

After some time, it seemed to realize the toy was fake and gave up. Covering its forehead with its paw, it motioned her to touch it.

Placing her hand on its head, she noticed the previously indented spot seemed even deeper. "Huh, this is strange! Xiao Guai, what’s happening with your forehead?"

Li Si was puzzled. This didn’t make sense—it wasn’t scientific! How could a skull cave in without any force? It was fantastical!

"Aww..." Xiao Guai wrapped one arm around her neck and extended the other toward the Bone Marrow Cleansing Tree by the riverbank.

Li Si followed its gesture. "What do you mean, Xiao Guai? What’s with this tree?" Walking closer, she observed closely. Oh my god, there was actually a pink flower bud on the tree!

Was it defying the natural order? A bloom that might bear fruit! Could it be? Li Si’s mouth gaped wide enough to fit an egg, stunned by the sight.

She circled the Bone Marrow Cleansing Tree, noticing that apart from its lush foliage and the single budding flower, nothing else seemed unusual.

Suddenly, she realized that last time she’d been here, the fruit had hung densely from the branches, and the ground had been covered in vibrant, unharvested produce.

Now, though the fruit on the tree seemed fine, the fruits and vegetables planted on the ground were all withered, as if dried up under the scorching sun. But the space clearly didn’t have a sun!
