[Whirlwind Girl + Tomb Raider] Replaced

The afternoon sun shivered from the window, and after penetrating through the thin curtains, it reflected the whole room into a very light blue.In such peaceful silence, An An quietly sat on the hospital bed with her knees together.And on the white quilt, spread out was the bronze pendant that she had worn on her chest every day like a treasure.The pendant shone with a light blue luster in the changing light.

She still listened to what Ruobai and Yifeng said, obediently went back to the hospital for daily checkups and had a good rest.However, since she was able to act independently, she no longer wore the pendant on her body.

When she was on the verge of life and death, she had already expressed her attitude to her mother, and she had completely left the past world and life.Then, it doesn't matter whether she wants to keep this pendant.At least, it won't have the chance to return to its former owner.

As for the consequences of staying... An An's eyes froze.Mother didn't explain in detail, or, this matter was not as simple as she thought a few days ago.Judging from the weird attitudes of the doctors and nurses, including Hu Yifeng, she seemed to be hiding something.

So... what exactly?

When Ruobai came to the hospital corridor, the surroundings were as quiet as ever.Maybe it's because of the time, usually the patients in the hospital are resting at this time.

He walked along the corridor without a moment's pause, stretched out his hand to gently hold the handle, and then slowly pushed hard, pushing the door open in the silence without making any unnecessary noise.After a little hesitation, he leaned closer to the open door, and his eyes fell on the hospital bed in the room.

The girl on the hospital bed was probably tired. She leaned against the pillow on her back and closed her eyes. She lay there with her hands casually spread out on the belly of the light blue striped hospital gown. Her face was calm and her breathing was even, as if she had fallen asleep. He was completely unaware of his arrival.

Ruobai pursed his lips, walked slowly into the door, and subconsciously closed the door behind him.

However, just before the door of the ward was closed, a sudden extra force prevented the completion of this movement.

Ruobai was startled, realized something, and quickly turned around.

Fang Tinghao was standing outside the door, dressed in a neat dark blue suit, with piercing eyes, hands behind his back, looking at him a little seriously.Looking at it like that, it doesn't seem like he came to find An An, but more like he came here on purpose.

Ruobai had realized something, lowered his eyes, exited the door again, and closed the door.

"Ruobai, long time no see." Fang Tinghao smiled after confirming that the door and the frame were tightly fitted.The smile was as unruly and easy-going as before, but it was a bit worried, at least in Ruobai's view.

Ruobai nodded, and frowned subconsciously: "You need me for something?"

He and Fang Tinghao grew up together, and he could see Fang Tinghao's emotions to some extent, as if something important had happened.

Fang Tinghao nodded and didn't make too much of a fuss. "Ruobai, listen to me. I've wanted to tell you about this for a long time, but there has never been a very suitable opportunity. During this time, coach Shen Ning opened a training class to recruit students, and I was responsible for sorting out their identity information. I might as well discuss it with you."

Ruobai was taken aback, and subconsciously glanced at An An's closed ward door not far away, and immediately realized that what Fang Tinghao was going to say next probably had something to do with An An's identity.Could it be... is there a problem with An An's information?

"I got to know An An a long time ago. Before that, I investigated An An's family background more than once, but found nothing." Fang Tinghao explained solemnly, his eyes fixed on Ruobai's expression. "I used to think that my abilities were not enough, but after Coach Shen Ning saw An An's talent in the gymnasium challenge, he also entrusted many parties to investigate, and even used my grandfather's contacts, the result is still the same, you understand Do I mean?"

Ruobai didn't make a sound.He just remembered the first time he met An An, and how she fell from the sky at that time.Indeed, all of this was strange from the very beginning.

"Actually, I couldn't believe that there was such a thing." Fang Tinghao took his reaction into his eyes and sighed slightly. "But the result of all the inquiries and investigations is that An'an is a girl who appeared out of thin air. Ruobai, don't you find it strange? She is only fourteen or fifteen years old. At first, she couldn't even express herself clearly, nor could she I don’t understand feelings, and I’m not even sure of my own name. Before that opening exhibition, no one had seen her in Anyang. She didn’t have any guardians. Why was funding never a problem? She has strength and Different ways than everyone else, but where do these abilities come from? Have you thought about this?"

Ruobai was silent for a long time, and finally asked in a low voice, "Are you very concerned about these issues?"

"Of course not." Fang Tinghao couldn't laugh or cry when he was asked this question. "Coach Shen Ning still wants to know, but it doesn't matter if she can't find out. From Coach Shen Ning's point of view, she is very special and talented. She is a candidate worthy of cultivation, and nothing else is that important." Of course, there is He failed to tell Ruobai some things - before Shen Ning told him that An An gave her a strange sense of familiarity.

Ruobai went through Fang Tinghao's words in his mind, always feeling inexplicable, but he didn't say anything.

"Besides that, I still have some doubts. For example..." Fang Tinghao pondered and took a breath. "Ruobai, is it possible for a girl who appeared out of thin air to disappear out of thin air?"

Suddenly understanding what Fang Tinghao meant, Ruobai felt his heart tighten.

He couldn't answer this question. To be precise, it was only at this moment that he realized that it didn't matter where An An came from. He was only worried that An An would disappear as suddenly as she appeared.

"We don't know these things yet, I think, let's find a chance to ask An An." Fang Tinghao didn't look depressed, and still smiled calmly. "If she stays, it's better for me to help her prepare the necessary identity. After all, in modern society, how can you do without an identity document?"

Ruobai raised his eyes to look at Fang Tinghao, but didn't respond.He felt that according to Fang Tinghao's intentions, it seemed that An An would stay.He didn't want to force An An if it wasn't necessary.

"Okay, I'll go first, and I'll come see Xiao An'an next time I have a chance." Fang Tinghao has quickly recuperated his mood, with the corners of his mouth raised comfortably, waving his hands with Ruobai, and strode away.

Ruobai stood there expressionless, took one last look at his back as he was getting further and further away, turned around, and tried to turn the doorknob of the ward again.

Unlike the deep sleep just a moment ago, the girl opened her black and white eyes wide, leaning sideways on the head of the bed, staring blankly at the slightly shaking translucent curtain not far in front of her.

Ruobai saw everything in his eyes, but for some reason, his heart tightened involuntarily.After An An went to the dormitory to relieve him a few days ago, he often felt this way.From An An's narration, he could roughly understand what she had experienced, and he couldn't help but feel pity.

Eyeballs moved, An An turned her head to look at Ruobai, a smile slowly bloomed on her lips. "Ruobai."

When we met again after three days, she was quite happy.

The same goes for Ruobai, he nodded gently, his eyes flickering with inconspicuous relief.

"Ah, by the way, I have something for you." Suddenly remembering the pendant she cherished and collected, An An had a flash of inspiration, and sat up while holding the head of the bed.

It was something left by the little brother, but now she decided to stay with Ruobai, it's useless to keep it, so it's better to give it to Ruobai.She has always felt that she was safe and sound in all kinds of dangers, and it could not be said that it was not due to the pendant.

Ruobai blinked and looked back at her questioningly.

An An smiled, reached out and took out the pendant from under the pillow, held the slender chain with one hand, and let the light blue pendant sway in the air. "this is for you."

Ruobai's eyes fell on the pendant following her movements.He hadn't seen this pendant much before, but he still had a little impression.When I was training before, I occasionally saw it hanging on An An's chest. I thought it must be something important that followed her for a long time.

Now...she wants to give it to him?Ruobai still couldn't recover, and didn't quite understand the deep meaning behind this gift.

"It was given to me by a life-and-death friend of mine in the past." An Antalu explained, and frankly met Ruobai's dark eyes. "It's made of special material, it can bless every bad luck and turn good luck, it's a very good amulet."

Ruobai suffocated, inevitably recalling Ting Hao's words not long ago.

"An'an, she is a girl who appeared out of thin air."

"Is it possible for a girl who appeared out of thin air to disappear out of thin air?"

Could the girl who appeared out of thin air, the so-called close friend of life and death, refer to someone from another world?Ruobai thought to himself, pursed the corners of his mouth calmly, and didn't say a word.

Ruobai looked worried?An An was surprised for a while, but couldn't understand Ruobai's thoughts, so she had to wait quietly.

Finally, Ruobai came back to his senses and shook his head. "Since it's a gift from a life-and-death friend, you should keep it as a souvenir."

"No, I'll give it to you. I hope it can protect you and everything goes well." An An understood Ruobai's thoughts, and hurriedly stated. "Besides, I won't go back in the future."

I won't go back...do you mean I won't disappear again?Ruobai paused in his chest, feeling vaguely relieved.Looking down at the girl again, there was a firm and undeniable expression on her still immature face, she was touched somewhere, so she nodded in response, and took the pendant in her palm. "Thanks."
