The vast training ground seemed to have been pressed to a pause.
Right after, a young girl bounded to his side, curiously scrutinizing me.
"Brother Mobai, is this your former girlfriend?"
I knew this girl was most likely Shen Mei.
What's unexpected, however, is that Lin Mobai didn't respond to her but instead frowned at my unsteady steps, "Your body isn't suited to be here right now."
Is it the body that's unsuitable, or is it the person?
But it doesn't matter anymore.
After all, I'm leaving tomorrow.
As if I hadn't heard him, I turned around to leave.
Yet suddenly, he spoke up to stop me:
"Wait a moment, the Enhancing Potion, give me one."
The Enhancing Potion he referred to was extracted from my body by the research facility, a potion that can enhance physical strength, a priceless commodity in this world where strength equals survival.
He has always been so powerful that he disdains such things, it's obvious who he wants it for.
I was momentarily stunned, causing him to think I was unwilling, and he softened his tone to coax me:
"Not asking for it for free, name your price in points."
"Now that you can't fight anymore, getting more points isn't a bad thing."
Five years together, countless times where his life hung by a thread, I was the one who saved him, yet now that I've grown weaker, all I receive is his lofty pity.
But it doesn't matter anymore.
Facing his gaze, I suppressed bitterness and agreed.
"Five million points, to buy out all our past."
But in the next moment, Lin Mobai's expression changed, seemingly taken aback by my condition, he was somewhat agitated, "What did you say?"
Yes, I have loved him for five years, even willing to risk myself for him, to test poison at the expense of my own life.
But now, I propose to sever our ties; how could he not be shocked?
Lin Mobai refused without hesitation, stepping forward to grip my shoulders firmly, scrutinizing me closely, trying to find evidence of discrepancy between my words and feelings.
But he is destined to be disappointed.
