"Qingqing, what brings you here? I thought you went home to cultivate again!"

The emergency room was crowded and noisy, so Ling Yue found a quieter spot to continue, "My mom only had a mild concussion this time! The doctor said she'll be fine after two days of observation in the hospital, and there's something even more amazing!"

As Ling Yue spoke, she spun around in front of Lu Boqing and continued excitedly, "Look, look, I'm completely unharmed! Don't you think this means the gears of fate are starting to turn?"

Lu Boqing burst into laughter after hearing this.

Ling Yue was confused. Had she just told a joke?

"You're really naive. It's not easy to have survived this long. What about being part of the gears of fate? Why don't you ask if you've attained immortality?"

Ling Yue couldn't help but roll her eyes. This guy was so tactful this time, he didn't call her an idiot or naive. His whole family is naive!

"Last night, I bought you a good luck charm."

"You mean the amulet brings peace and protection?"

"Ah."

"Qingqing, you're amazing! You truly are my incredible teammate! Thank you so much!"

She changed her expression so quickly; she was just rolling her eyes at him a moment ago.

"You're welcome. I bought it from Ghostly Charm using your phone."

Ling Yue quickly took out her phone and opened the Ghost Drawing Talisman.

Sure enough! She only had 25 merit points left. She checked her purchase history again: one peace charm, costing 100 merit points...

Ling Yue glanced at Lu Boqing, then at her own account. From an economic perspective, could she be considered to have made a profit?

After all, blocking a calamity will inevitably lead to a backlash, and she was prepared to die. The current result is that she can still survive for another 25 days!

"I still have to thank you, Qingqing..."

Lu Boqing thought Ling Yue's facial expressions were really rich; she could change so many expressions in just a quarter of an hour.

"Go see your mother quickly, she has been transferred to the inpatient department."

"You're right, the most important thing is that my mom is alright!"

Watching Ling Yue run off like a shot, Lu Boqing couldn't help but sigh, realizing that human emotions were far richer than theirs, and he couldn't help but grin.

When Ling Yue opened the ward door, she saw Liang Lina constantly asking the nurses where her daughter was. The two were so anxious that the nurses couldn't stop them from getting up to look for their daughter.

Ling Yue ran over happily: "I'm here, Mom!"

Seeing that Liang Lina was alright, Ling Yue hugged her tightly! It was truly worth it! Even if it were 120 merit points, it would be worth it, let alone 100!

Apart from feeling a little dizzy, Liang Lina was fine. She was thinking about her mother and didn't want to stay in the hospital any longer.

The doctor prescribed some medication, and they were discharged from the hospital. The car was handled by the insurance company. They hadn't told Ling Guofu about it yet, not wanting him to worry.

Fortunately, it wasn't far from Grandma's house, so the two of them took a taxi there.

Lingyue's maternal grandmother is 85 years old this year. She is a very clean old lady. Her maternal grandfather passed away when her mother was young. She raised two children on her own, working in a factory during the day and doing some handicrafts at night to supplement the family income. She managed to send both children to university.

Liang Lina had originally planned to take her to live in Haishi, but the old lady was unwilling, saying that she had lived in this place all her life and did not want to move again.

Her uncle is usually busy with work and doesn't have time to take care of her. Liang Lina said she wanted to hire a nanny, but the old lady was not happy, saying that she was not born to be a young lady and that she could take good care of herself.

Seeing that Ling Yue was still in good health, Liang Lina let her be. Whenever she had time, she would come to see her. Ling Yue spent almost every summer vacation at her maternal grandmother's house.

This time, it was a neighbor who called to say that the old lady had fainted while taking a walk in the village.

Everyone quickly called her uncle, and she was rushed to the hospital. The doctor immediately told them to prepare for the worst; the old lady had pancreatic cancer, and there was no cure…

Ling Yue and her mother only found out these things when they arrived at her maternal grandmother's house.

The moment Ling Yue saw her grandmother, she knew it; she saw the red light above her grandmother's head.

This person has 1 day, 20 hours, and 3 minutes of remaining lifespan. Cause of death: pancreatic cancer.

Ling Yue simply held her grandmother, feeling her warmth, and silently shed tears, regretting that she hadn't come to see her grandmother sooner and spent more time with her...

I remember when I was little, my grandma would often cook delicious food for me, tell me interesting stories, and take me catching crickets at night...

Ling Yue once again lamented the helplessness of wanting to care for one's parents but finding them gone.

Grandma probably knew her days were numbered, so she gently patted Ling Yue's hand and said, "Alright, alright, you're a grown girl now, why are you still crying? Don't wipe your snot on me anymore!"

Ling Yue chuckled, then clung to the old woman's arm tightly.

Watching Liang Lina silently tidy up her grandmother's bedroom, Ling Yue seemed to have never seen her mother cry before. No, the only time she saw her mother cry hysterically was when she died in a car accident in her previous life...

She's going to lose her mother; she'll be the one suffering the most...

So, Ling Yue got up and pulled Liang Lina aside: "Old Liang, what's the point of tidying up? I'm going to take a walk in the yard outside. I haven't been back for a long time, so you have to keep a close eye on Grandma."

Ling Yue stepped out of her room and saw that night had fallen. She could still faintly see a crescent moon in the sky, as if it were squinting and smiling at her.

"Lu Boqing, I saw a red light above Grandma's head. Do you think we can save her?"

Lu Boqing followed Ling Yue's gaze to look at the ugly, flickering crescent moon. What was so interesting about it?

“In cases like your grandmother’s, which are considered natural deaths, there is no way to interfere.”

In fact, Ling Yue already had the answer in her heart: birth, aging, sickness, and death, the cycle of heaven and earth, are the natural laws.

Ling Yue watched the red light above her grandmother's head disappear, and she knew that her lifespan had come to an end and she had left this world.

The old man passed away peacefully, with a smile on his face.

Ling Yue recalled her grandmother's last words to her: "Child, Grandma has no regrets. Even when I meet your grandfather in the underworld, I can stand tall and tell him that I have lived up to his expectations and raised the children well. That's enough for me. You are still young. You must do your best to do what you want to do and don't leave any regrets for yourself."

After seeing her grandmother off, Liang Lina did not return to Haishi. Instead, she asked Ling Guofu to take the children back first, as she wanted to stay here for a few more days.

Ling Guofu was worried that the scene would trigger her emotions and wanted to persuade her again, but Ling Yue stepped forward to stop her father: "Mom must have her own reasons. Let's go back first. We can still keep in touch by phone."

Back in Haishi, Ling Yue finally had the time to check her WeChat to see if she had missed any messages.

Besides discussing graduation theses, the class group chat is also buzzing about the final exam of university. All the courses we failed over the past four years must be passed in this final exam, or we'll have to graduate late…

Ling Yue suddenly remembered that she was a member of the delayed graduation team in her previous life!

Being obsessed with love, she didn't care about exams or delayed graduation at all; all she wanted to do was think about when to marry Li Chunyang.

Ling Yue wanted to slap herself on the head twice whenever she thought about that time!

This is her only chance, and she has to make the most of it.

Then I thought of Ningxia. This class monitor is a true academic star, winning scholarships left and right. I need to find her to cram for my studies.
