Why didn't you tell me earlier that my little sister is still waiting for me?

Meanwhile, Lin Bufan swiftly climbed to the rooftop, the wind blowing his already messy hair even further out of control. He glanced around, confirming no one was around, and with a flick of his mind, he retrieved a brand new set of casual clothes from his system, a completely different style from his previous one, and quickly put them on.

After putting his changed clothes back into the room, he straightened his collar, as if he was just a tourist who came up to enjoy the fresh air and the view. He walked leisurely towards the exit on the rooftop and walked down the stairs.

Arriving at the elevator, he pressed the down button. The elevator door opened, revealing no one inside. He walked in and pressed the first floor button.

The elevator went down a few floors and arrived at Wang Hui's floor. It stopped with a ding. The door opened, and standing outside was Zhuang Yan, his face ashen and his expression in dismay.

Eyes facing each other.

Zhuang Yan obviously did not expect to meet a stranger in the elevator, especially the other party's outstanding temperament, which made him subconsciously restrain the anger on his face and walked in sideways.

The elevator door slowly closed, leaving only two people in the small space, and the atmosphere was a little depressing.

Lin Bufan saw Zhuang Yan's suppressed anger through the smooth elevator wall. Obviously, he was in a bad mood!

Feeling that he was partly responsible for this matter, Lin Bufan decided to help make amends!

After making up his mind, Lin Bufan cleared his throat and broke the silence with a tone of someone who had experienced it, a little sighing: "Dude, looking at your face... did you just have a quarrel with your wife?"

Zhuang Yan was feeling upset and was stunned for a moment when he heard the words. He glanced at Lin Bufan, and seeing that the other party looked natural and had a bit of good-natured teasing, his vigilance dropped a little, and he said "hmm" in a bad mood, which was considered an admission.

"Alas," Lin Bufan sighed, his tone full of understanding and sympathy: "Every family has its own problems. Marriage is sometimes like a besieged city. Those outside want to get in, but those inside... really know how to play it."

Zhuang Yan: "..." Why does this sound a bit strange?

Lin Bufan seemed oblivious to Zhuang Yan's subtle expression as he continued to advise him earnestly, "But as the old saying goes, it takes ten years to be able to ride the same boat together, and a hundred years to be able to sleep on the same pillow. Being together is fate, so what obstacles can't be overcome? Think more about the good in each other, think more about the sweet times we once had, be patient, and things will calm down; take a step back, and the sky will be clear! Don't bring up divorce so easily; it hurts feelings!"

Zhuang Yan listened to this. Although he felt that this stranger was a little superficial, his words were true. Moreover, he had just been threatened with "divorce" by Wang Hui and needed a little external recognition to soothe his wounded heart and self-esteem. So he subconsciously nodded in agreement: "Yeah... who said it wasn't... well, it was just a momentary anger..."

Seeing that they had reached a preliminary "resonance," Lin Bufan changed the subject and began to intensify his efforts, his expression becoming more earnest. "That's right! Especially, you have to think more about the children! Children are the bond of love between husband and wife, and the hope of the family! For the sake of the children, what can't be endured? Giving children a complete home is more important than anything else, don't you agree?"

Zhuang Yan's expression, which had just softened somewhat after Lin Bufan's persuasion, immediately turned extremely ugly again after Lin Bufan mentioned the child: "Child? Ha... We... don't have any children at all!"

Uh--

Lin Bufan smiled awkwardly, then immediately changed the subject and said, "Then...sister-in-law must have kept the house in perfect order, right? Look, every day when you come home from get off work, the house is spotless, and hot meals are already on the table, waiting for you. This kind of home warmth is a blessing that no amount of money can buy!"

Zhuang Yan scoffed as if he had just heard a huge joke. His tone was filled with resentment and self-mockery. "Hot meals? Haha... We've been married for almost ten years, and I can count on one hand the number of times she's been in the kitchen! She's either ordered takeout, eaten out, or just gone back to her parents' house for a free meal! And she's waiting for me? I'm thankful she doesn't wait for me to come back and start a fight with her!"

"..."

Lin Bufan cleared his throat and tried again: "Then...sister-in-law must be very gentle, considerate and understanding, right? When a couple quarrels, they are always the ones who bow their heads and comfort you first."

"Gentle?! If she were gentle, a tigress would be considered a house cat! Every time we argue, she won't stop until she curses my ancestors for eighteen generations! And she wants to coax me? I'm lucky if I don't kneel down and beg her to stop!"

"At least... my sister-in-law is pretty, so it's a face to take her out, right? A talented man and a beautiful woman, how enviable!"

"What's the point of being pretty? You're so petty! You're so suspicious, checking my phone to see where I am. You wish you could install a GPS on me! You can even interrogate me for half an hour just for having dinner with friends. Do you think you can save face? I'm almost losing my dignity!"

"Well...my sister-in-law's family should be well off, right? It will definitely be a great help to your little family. This is also a blessing!"

"Help? Yes, it's a huge help! Her brothers are always bossing me around and finding fault with me, as if I'm getting a huge advantage by marrying their princess! This isn't just marrying a wife, it's like inviting back an ancestor and a bunch of uncles!"

Lin Bufan: “…” There’s no point in chatting today!

Even Lin Bufan began to sympathize with Zhuang Yan!

After a few seconds of silence, Lin Bufan finally patted Zhuang Yan's shoulder heavily and said in a sad tone: "Brother, listen to my advice, then divorce. It's better to suffer a short pain than a long one."

Hearing this, Zhuang Yan's eyes suddenly widened and he said angrily, "Hey?! What's wrong with you? Why are you still advocating for divorce instead of reconciliation? Do you know that it's better to demolish ten temples than to ruin a marriage? Do you have any moral bottom line?"

Lin Bufan was confused by Zhuang Yan's reaction: "I want to mediate, but I really can't find a reason."

"Reason? What reason do you need? Isn't that what life is all about? Just make do with it! As the old saying goes, if you want to live a decent life, you're bound to have some cheating on your head! Isn't it just some infidelity or cheating outside? It's not a big deal? Just be patient and turn a blind eye, won't it all be over? Divorce for such a shit? Is it that necessary? Really..." Zhuang Yan shook his head, as if Lin Bufan's ideas were extremely childish and ridiculous, and he didn't understand the adult world and the "true meaning" of marriage at all.

The elevator reached the first floor, and with a soft "ding," the doors opened. Zhuang Yan once again glanced at Lin Bufan with that look that said, "I can't communicate with you; you don't understand anything." He snorted coldly, straightened his collar, and walked out confidently without looking back. His back revealed an inexplicable sense of superiority and contempt for Lin Bufan's "naiveté."

Lin Bufan stood alone in the elevator, staring at Zhuang Yan's self-assured, almost sober, back. He was completely stunned, momentarily dazed, almost wondering if there was something wrong with his worldview. It wasn't until the elevator doors slowly closed that he snapped back to reality. Subconsciously, he gave Zhuang Yan's disappearing figure a thumbs-up. "Dude, your level of skill is truly impressive!"

……

After leaving the community, Lin Bufan remembered that he had not yet given Chen Nanxing a lollipop, so he drove straight to the hospital.

When Lin Bufan pushed open the door of the ward, Chen Nanxing was leaning against the head of the bed, his fingers swiping the screen of his mobile phone quickly. The background music of the short video and the exaggerated laughter seemed a bit abrupt in the quiet ward.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, she looked up and saw that it was Lin Bufan. Her eyes lit up for a moment, but then she deliberately put on a stern face and shook her phone: "Look at what time it is! I thought my daily lollipop supplier had run away today!"

Lin Bufan walked over with a smile and pulled out a strawberry-flavored lollipop from his pocket like magic, handing it to her: "I met two very interesting people on the way, which delayed me a bit."

Chen Nanxing took the candy, peeled off the candy wrapper skillfully, and tilted his head curiously: "Interesting person? More interesting than giving me candy? Tell me about it, let me have some fun too."

Lin Bufan pulled a chair over and sat down, an indescribable smile on his face: "How should I put it... The first one is a lady, her theory really opened my eyes. The second one is a big brother, his theory also opened my eyes!"

Chen Nanxing waited for a while, and seeing that Lin Bufan had no intention of continuing, he couldn't help but push him with his hand: "And then? Go on!"

Lin Bufan spread his hands, looking innocent: "I'm done."

"Are you done?" Chen Nanxing's eyes widened, and he shook the lollipop in his hand in annoyance. "It's the same as if you didn't say anything! What's with the lady theory and the big brother theory? How exactly is it interesting? Tell me in detail! You just gave up after a while, leaving me in suspense. I'm almost bored out of my mind in the hospital, and I need gossip to nourish myself!"

"Don't ask so many questions, kid. The rest is about payment, so I won't go into details." Lin Bufan naturally couldn't talk about the details, so he quickly changed the subject: "Okay, let's not talk about me anymore, let's talk about you! Do you have any interesting things happen in this little world of the hospital every day? Tell me about it and let me have some fun too."

Upon hearing this, Chen Nanxing's eyes dimmed for a moment, she curled her lips and said in a low tone: "What interesting thing can I have? Every day I'm either getting injections and taking medicine or undergoing examinations, and my activities are limited to this hospital. I can almost count how many trees there are outside the window and how many leaves are on each tree! I want to be discharged from the hospital, but my parents and the doctor don't agree. They insist that I need to be observed for a while..." Her voice became smaller and smaller, with obvious loss and helplessness.

However, just when she was feeling dejected, her eyes suddenly lit up, as if she had remembered something extremely important. She became so excited that she almost jumped out of the bed: "Right! Wait! Yes! There is something really, really interesting!"

As she spoke excitedly, she frantically grabbed the phone she had just dropped beside her. Her fingers trembled slightly with excitement as she swiped rapidly across the screen. "I just saw this on a short video! I almost forgot! It's so shocking! You'll never guess!"

She quickly found the video and impatiently thrust her phone screen in front of Lin Bufan's eyes, her voice rising with excitement: "Look, look! This is it! I just saw it, and it's still trending! It happened right here in Kyoto! Someone filmed it!"

Lin Bufan leaned in to take a closer look. The video was shaky, clearly shot from a great distance. The image quality was grainy and blurry, and he could barely make out a modern residential complex with tall buildings. The cameraman's exclamations mingled with the sound of the wind in the background.

The video focused on the exterior wall of a twenty-story building. An extremely blurry figure, almost blending into the grayish-white wall, was climbing up the vertical wall with inhuman agility and speed! His movements were incredibly smooth, as if gravity had completely lost its grip on him. After a few rises and falls, the figure quickly shrank and disappeared over the edge of the roof in the blink of an eye!

The entire video is only a dozen seconds long, but because the content is so shocking, the comment section has exploded.

"What the hell?! What did I see? Spider-Man Kyoto Branch?"

"Is this a special effect? ​​It's too fake!"

"Fake? Can you find someone upstairs who can create this kind of dynamic effect so I can see it? This looks real!"

"The coordinates are XX District, XX Community, Kyoto! It seems to be our neighborhood! Did something fly over in the sky just now?"

"Is this parkour? Is this how you do parkour? This is like climbing walls and flying over rooftops!"

"Haha, people these days will do anything to become famous! It's obviously a staged photo, otherwise how could they be photographed by such a coincidence?"

"Have you called the police? This is too dangerous!"

"Masters are among the common people! The long-lost Qinggong?"

"This is Qinggong, no objection will be accepted!"

"By the way, is it true that none of you paid any attention to why this person climbed out of the window?"

……

After watching the video, Lin Bufan's face instantly became extremely strange - this was not a video of Spider-Man, it was clearly the heroic figure when he "emergency evacuated" from the balcony of Wang Hui's house just now!

Fortunately, the shot was not very clear. If I had been recognized, I would have been killed on the spot!

Also—which bastard took this photo?

Do you know anything about portrait rights?

Do you know how to respect personal privacy?

Don’t let me find you, otherwise I will let you know why the flowers are so red!

Chen Nanxing was excitedly awaiting Lin Bufan's reaction, but when he looked up, he caught sight of the unnatural stiffness and astonishment on his face. Curious, he immediately moved closer, staring into his eyes. "Huh? What's with that expression? What the hell? Could it be... you know this Spider-Man?"

Lin Bufan's heart skipped a beat, but his expression quickly returned to normal. He raised his hand to touch his nose and laughed, "Ah? Oh... No, no, how could I know him! I'm just... I'm just shocked by this guy's skills. This skill, wow..." He smacked his lips, trying to put on an expression of pure amazement and interest, even deliberately rubbing his chin, his eyes gleaming with eagerness, "He's really amazing! This rock climbing skill, it's obvious that he's practiced before! It makes me itchy, I want to find an opportunity to spar with him!"

Chen Nanxing looked him up and down suspiciously, feeling that his momentary stiffness wasn't an illusion. But seeing how serious he was now, even with a bit of the excitement of a martial arts fanatic, she thought she might have been mistaken. She curled her lips, put her phone away, and lay back on the bed. "Come on, you're still sparring? They're so skilled at climbing walls, why are you sparring with them? Are you sparring with them about how to fall faster? Forget it, Master Lin. Just stay calm and do your promising job of delivering lollipops to me."

Lin Bufan immediately climbed down the pole, making an exaggerated expression of relief. "Indeed, safety first, safety first! I'm still more suited to this kind of down-to-earth and great cause of delivering candy to the people."
