Xiao Qiang encountered a girl with the ability to foresee the future. She had a delicate and elegant appearance, her complexion slightly pale, exuding an air of grace and melancholy. Unfortunately, her disability marred what could have been a beautiful visage.
The wind brought two strangers, and Yun saw the scene unfold in her vision—her sister's beauty was truly ruined! At the same time, Ronnie was so astonished that he didn't know how to react.
Xiao Qiang took out dried meat, canned fruit, and other food from the car. Everyone present was welcome to share, but Yun refused. She turned her wheelchair and left, her eyes already brimming with tears. She felt heartache for her sister and couldn't bear to shed weak tears in front of strangers.
The wind was unaware of how terrible her own face looked. Seeing her sister leave in sorrow made her feel uneasy. After a moment's hesitation, she offered Xiao Qiang an apologetic smile and hurried after Yun. The two sisters entered their own private space—a small cave.
The cave had simple furnishings: two hammocks suspended from the stone beams and a damaged mirror in one corner. Yun entered first, quickly snatching up the mirror and propping herself up to hide it away. However, she lost her balance and toppled over, getting pinned beneath her wheelchair.
The wind heard the commotion and rushed in. With a startled cry, she lunged forward to help Yun, exclaiming, "Yun, are you okay? Oh no, don't scare your sister like that!"
"I'm fine, sis..."
"What's wrong? Does it hurt anywhere?"
"No, it doesn't hurt anywhere."
The wind noticed something unusual in Yun's eyes and pressed on anxiously, "Is my face really that bad?"
Yun averted her gaze and looked elsewhere, reproachingly saying, "It's because you never listen to me..."
The wind glanced around their little sanctuary. "Where's the mirror? Let me see."
"Don't look at it, sis."
Feng instinctively touched her face, feeling a dent under her fingers. "Is that a pimple?"
"Kind of," Yun replied as she settled into her wheelchair. Feng crouched down to let her take a closer look. "The broken skin is spreading. How did this happen?"
"It was a Clone suicide bomber; he spat something that hit my face."
"From his mouth? Does that mean..." Yun's eyes widened in shock.
"Yes, he turned into a puddle of blood and goo."
"Biochemical Corrosive Toxin?"
"Is there a cure?" Feng was anxious about this; after walking for a while, it was clear that her sister had lost even more weight. Unable to help herself, she reached out and stroked Yun's face. "Tell me honestly, is there still a way to treat this?"
Yun mustered her courage and looked directly at her sister, shaking her head...
"Sis..."
"Jie..." The two sisters embraced each other, crying uncontrollably.
Although the place was simple, it provided a sense of peace for rest. Xiao Qiang, under Li Uncle's guidance, went to a temporarily arranged hammock to rest.
Plum Blossom Rain insisted on joining him but was met with refusal. Unwilling to accept this, she quietly followed behind, peeking...
"Uncle Li told Xiao Qiang, 'In summer, people come and go, bringing the heat from outside into the cave. When it meets the cold walls of the cave, it condenses into moisture. Even if there isn't any water dripping down, you can still feel the dampness.'
'What about your drinking water?' Xiao Qiang was eager to pry more information about Yun from Uncle Li. 'Yun, poor thing, such a beautiful girl without legs.'
'Ssh, don't say that in front of her.'
'...Why?' Xiao Qiang stared at Uncle Li in confusion.
'Yun is our revered goddess; she knows many things.'
'And then?'
'Because she understands things that ordinary people do not, she has suffered misfortune! This is the Creator's punishment for Yun revealing secrets of heaven.'
Xiao Qiang thought to himself that this was nonsense. There was no such thing as a god in this world. However, he knew he couldn't compare this place to others; when in Rome, do as the Romans do. Otherwise, he might not even know how he would die.
Uncle Li left, and the flickering lights in the cave made him feel weary.
Xiao Qiang lay down on the hammock, still pondering how to get closer to Yun… This was a specially made hammock. It was wide and swayed gently as he slept, reminiscent of a cradle from his infancy.
As he drifted into a hazy dream, he felt someone beside him. This person was both familiar and strange—a face slowly came into focus in his vision; it was Lin Yu—
'Yu...' he murmured softly, leaning his lips closer. In that moment, Xiao Qiang felt Lin Yu's kiss was strong and passionate. The gentle licking and sucking, the warm breath created a sense of security that enveloped him, making him feel utterly comfortable and at ease…
Lin Yu remained silent, completely focused, which surprised Xiao Qiang. Unable to help herself, she gently nudged him, straightening his posture and taking a closer look. "Plum Blossom Rain? You... get lost!"
Plum Blossom Rain wiped her lips and let out a light, satisfied laugh, standing there with her head held high, shamelessly saying, "How does it feel? Isn’t it better than that ugly monster you have?"
Xiao Qiang tugged at her own lips in frustration, still sensing a damp, fishy taste. Seeing Plum Blossom Rain so arrogant made her furious. "Get lost."
"Oh come on, why are you so angry? If you want me to leave, just say so," she said, twisting her waist like a water snake and swaying away from Xiao Qiang's resting place.
Thinking about it made her feel sick. Who exactly was Plum Blossom Rain? She had wiped her mouth several times but still sensed that strange taste, leaving Xiao Qiang feeling defeated. She couldn't understand when this girl had climbed onto the hammock. Did she peek into her secrets? Otherwise, how could she imitate Lin Yu?
Plum Blossom Rain stormed out angrily, cursing under her breath, "What’s so good about that ugly monster woman? Do you have to call her name even in your sleep?"
Hearing the sound of stones rolling behind her, she turned around cautiously. "Who’s there?"
"It’s me..." Ronnie stepped out shyly. He was curious about how this beautiful woman ended up suffering in this barren wasteland and was captivated by her enchanting charm.
"You, who are you?"
"Ronnie."
"Wind's boyfriend?" Plum Blossom Rain guessed. If that were true, then Lin Yu in Xiao Qiang's heart wouldn't be considered an ugly monster.
"Uh, not really," Ronnie awkwardly scratched the back of his head, wanting to say something but ended up stammering without managing to form a coherent sentence.
"Why are you following me?"
"I'm not following you for any particular reason, I just want to protect you." Finally expressing his thoughts to the beautiful woman before him brought him a sense of satisfaction.
"Do you like me?"
"Maybe."
"Then, if you help me with something, I'll go with you..."
"What is it?"
"Put this in the basin used for wind."
Ronnie was surprised, looking at the white paper package on her delicate fingers. He cautiously asked, "What is it?"
"It's the Secret Recipe to help her restore her beautiful face." Plum Blossom Rain's gaze seemed to pierce through Ronnie's body, reaching deep into his heart. After saying that, she smiled coldly at him and floated away.
