Armor Guardians.

Plans after Chapter 21

"Qianmeng, do you... plan to get treatment?" Looking at Xia Qianmeng's medical record in her hand, Ding Jing was speechless.

Xia Qianmeng shook her head with a bitter expression, then took back her medical report and said somewhat resignedly, "Do you think someone like me needs treatment?"

Ding Jing fell silent after hearing this. She wanted to help her friend, but she didn't have the ability because she was also a burden on her family.

Actually, Ding Jing knew what Xia Qianmeng was thinking. She thought that if she had this disease, her decision would probably be similar to Xia Qianmeng's.

Xia Qianmeng was kind-hearted; she didn't want anyone to worry about her or be sad for her. So, upon seeing Ding Jing like this, she grinned and said, "It's okay, I still have plenty of time~"

"How long?" Ding Jing asked.

"The doctor said that if I don't get treatment, I should be able to live for another year." Xia Qianmeng's tone was very calm, as if the person on the other end wasn't herself.

Ding Jing and Xia Qianmeng were both martial arts failures, so they sympathized with each other and got along very well. Before they knew it, their relationship had evolved into that of siblings. To Ding Jing's surprise, Xia Qianmeng contracted this damned disease.

So, Ding Jing suddenly hugged Xia Qianmeng with tears in her eyes: "Don't... can you leave too early?"

How long has it been since Xia Qianmeng received a hug since she grew up? She had forgotten that, so she really enjoyed the hug Ding Jing gave her.

"Don't be sad for me, I'll try my best..." Xia Qianmeng said weakly. Hearing this, Ding Jing also wiped away her tears, then forced a smile and said, "Okay, I'll stay with you at work a little longer~"

The two Dragon Group members who had been monitoring Xia Qianmeng noticed their actions in the convenience store. However, they did not suspect Ding Jing, because they had investigated her before and found that she did not meet the requirements for the Candlelight Armor.

That evening, Ding Jing had to leave, meaning Xia Qianmeng was now on duty alone again. This also gave Xia Qianmeng some quiet time to reflect on her situation: why did she get this illness? And what should she do next?

Xia Qianmeng could guess the reason why she got this disease without even thinking: it was because her abnormal diet and irregular lifestyle had weakened her immune system.

As for what to do next? Xia Qianmeng's idea was simple: make money, make money, make money. Before leaving, she wanted to leave some money for her twin sister, Xia Qianxue. This was the last thing she could do for Xia Qianxue.

As for how much money she could earn in the remaining time, Xia Qianmeng dared not think about it, so she wanted to save as much money as possible. Anyway, she thought she was already a useless person, so why spend so much money on food?
So she stopped eating instant noodles for dinner. Although she didn't save much money each day, it added up over time.

While dealing with customers in the convenience store, Xia Qianmeng was also deep in thought. As for becoming a hero in the future, she didn't even dare to think about it anymore.

Until the early hours of the morning when no one was around, Xia Qianmeng finally couldn't hold back her tears and they fell. She was ultimately unable to calmly accept this terrible news, after all, she was still just a child.

Xia Qianmeng lay on the counter and cried silently, thinking that as long as she cried, she would feel better. Before she knew it, she was tired and fell asleep.
