How can one become an immortal with such laziness?

A sense of foreboding suddenly rose in Hongli's heart. She pointed to herself and said, "So, how long have I been reading comics? It must have only been a few hours, right?"

"Hmm, one week, two weeks?"

Hongli: "???"

"No, one or two weeks, you're not mistaken, are you?"

Hongli suddenly seemed to realize what was wrong: "Then what about you? Have you been with me all this time?"

Xiao Huo shook his head, looking confused: "Xiao Huo doesn't know. Later, Xiao Huo told his mother that he was very hungry, and then his mother stuffed him with lots and lots of delicious food to fill his stomach. Hehe, his mother is so good."

"No wonder I was so hungry, with so many empty bags by my bedside..."

Hong Li nodded thoughtfully, her brows furrowing deeper and deeper: "And then, what then?"

"Then, after eating and drinking his fill, Xiao Huo fell asleep. Mom was still reading at that time, but her face was serious, and her eyes were bloodshot. She looked so scary..."

Little Fire suddenly realized something, turned its head to look at its wings, fluttered them twice, and jumped twice: "Ah, Little Fire seems to have grown a lot! Little Fire's wings have gotten bigger! That's great!"

"No, this is not good at all."

Hongli felt her limbs go weak and couldn't help but plop down on the bed, her hands hanging limply at her sides: "The older you get, the more it means a lot of time has passed. So, in that case..."

Hongli suddenly raised her head, her eyes bloodshot as she looked at Xingyun: "What's the date today? Um, and what year is it?"

"what?"

Xingyun's small mouth was slightly open.

"No! Answer me now!"

"Oh……"

Xingyun honestly replied, "July 26th, 577th year of the Water Calendar..."

"Phew, thank goodness, it's still 577, I didn't sleep until next year..."

Hong Li breathed a sigh of relief, then instantly realized something was wrong: "Wait, what number?"

"July……"

Xingyun said cautiously, "The 26th..."

"The 26th???"

"Number 26!!!"

Hong Li's eyes rolled back suddenly, her heart clenched, and she collapsed onto the bed, lifeless.

Xingyun: "???"

"Sister Hongli, Sister Hongli, wake up! Please come back to life!"

"Mommy! Mommy, wake up! Waaah, Little Fire doesn't have a mommy anymore..."

"Ugh..."

Hongli struggled to open her eyes, looked at Xingyun and Xiaohuo by the bedside, stretched out her trembling hand, and said in a hoarse voice, "Yun, Huo, I'm afraid... I can't make it..."

"Waaaaah, Senior Sister Hongli, please don't die!"

"Mommy, Little Fire doesn't want Mommy to die, waaaaah..."

"Don't cry, there's nothing we can do about it..."

Hongli smiled bitterly: "People are born, grow old, get sick, and die; fortune and misfortune can come in an instant. When the time comes, it comes. So, while you're alive, you should try to be happy... open your heart..."

Hongli's hand fell limply to her sides.

"woo woo woo woo!"

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

The whole room was filled with sadness...

"..."

"..."

"so……"

Hongli suddenly opened her eyes, as if she had risen from the dead, her face expressionless: "Is it really the 26th?"

"Ok!"

Xingyun sniffed and nodded: "Absolutely true!"

"Ah, I'm dead!"

Hongli closed her eyes peacefully.

……

This must just be a dream. Yes, everything will be back to normal after another nap!

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 106: High! Blood pressure is high! Hard! Fists are hard!

"Waaaaah, why is this world so cruel to me!"

Hongli was wrapped in a small blanket, lying on her side on the pillow, only half of her melancholy face showing: "Why did I wake up to find that the end of the world is coming soon? This is too unfair!"

"Ah, well, although I'm not quite sure what's going on..."

Xingyun sat on the edge of the bed, gently patting Hongli's back through the blanket to comfort her.

"But Sister Hongli, since it has already happened, whatever it was, it's all in the past."

My dad always said that you should forget sad things as soon as possible and then keep striving and moving forward!

If you have any regrets or mistakes you want to make up for, then strive hard in the rest of your life to try and fill those gaps!

Listening to Xingyun's impassioned and motivational speech, Hongli turned over, her face full of melancholy.

"Life? Do I even have a life left? No, I only have a few days left to live..."

Xingyun: "?"

Has Sister Hongli contracted some terminal illness? It sounds terrifying. I wonder if she has any unfulfilled wishes... oops, is there anything she needs help with?

With a sigh, Hongli sat up, looked at the comic book on the bedside table, and, anger rising in her heart, she grabbed it and burned it!

"It's all because of you that I've ruined such an important part of my life!"

Well, she didn't burn it. She wanted to, but she just couldn't bear to!

She's already lost him once, are we going to make her lose him a second time? That would be too cruel!

"call……"

Hongli gently patted the comic book. "Baby, I'm sorry you were frightened. You did nothing wrong. It's all my fault. I shouldn't have been angry with you."

comics:"……"

Feeling that the comic's emotions were gradually stabilizing, Hongli breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Xingyun beside her.

"So Xiaoyun, what brings you here today? Why didn't something happen to you sooner?!"

"???"

Xingyun shook her head, clearing the question mark from her mind, before remembering why she had come here: "Oh, right, I remember now!"

"You've realized that today isn't actually the 26th?"

Hong Li, on her deathbed, was startled awake!

"Uh, no..."

Xingyun chuckled and scratched her head: "I heard from Aunt Hongling that your birthday is August 2nd, Sister Hongli. It's only a few days away, so I thought I'd come and ask you about it. We'll invite one or two of our good friends to celebrate with you!"

Hongli: "..."

"Sorry, this is a last-minute message. The birthday celebration has been cancelled; it will be changed to the anniversary of the death."

"Ah?"

"Sigh, never mind, you wouldn't understand even if I told you..."

Hong Li shook her head wearily and casually pulled Xiao Huo into her arms to tease it.

Yes, Xiao Huo has definitely grown a lot; you can clearly feel it.

"So, where is Auntie?"

Hongli asked, "Haven't she come to see me all these days, to make sure I'm not dead and rotting away in the house or something...?"

"Oh, I forgot to tell my senior sister."

Xingyun suddenly realized: "Senior Sister recently went on a mission to the Northwest Sea and we don't know when she will be back. She asked me to tell you that you don't need to return the storage bag yet, you can just keep it."

"Storage bag..."

Hongli opened the bedside drawer, took out her aunt's storage bag, and fell silent again as she looked at the dozens of still-fresh snow mountain pigeons inside.

"It's evening of the 26th now. The 27th, 28th, and 29th are three days away..."
