A spirit descends, Gardevoir is my childhood friend?

"Teacher Tang, I won't go back with you. I'm going to Longdu."

Lin Xiaolin spoke first.

"okay."

"Lele and I went straight back to Longdu."

Yan Fan also spoke up from the side.

The journey back to the hotel was somewhat silent; it was almost time to say goodbye! Lin Xiaolin hadn't expected that participating in a competition while only in her second year of high school would result in her and her friends skipping grades and going straight to university.

"Tick tock~"

A raindrop suddenly fell on Lin Xiaolin's face. Lin Xiaolin reached out and touched it; it was raining.

"Run, run, it's raining!"

The raindrops fell sparsely, and the group held their backpacks to their chests as they hurried toward the hotel.

Fortunately, the rain was light, just a drizzle, and I didn't get wet when I got to the hotel.

"Xiao Lin, shall I buy the plane tickets at the same time?"

"Okay, let's go together later."

Lin Xiaolin nodded and went back to her room to pack her luggage.

Actually, there wasn't much to tidy up; Xiao Lan had basically finished tidying everything up last night.

I was lying in bed scrolling through my phone when the sound of raindrops hitting the windowpane grew louder and louder.

Xiao Lan curiously picked up the Blue Cotton Bird's egg, while Xinlinbao stared at it with wide, curious eyes. However, Xiao Lan dared not hand it over to this silly child.

Lin Xiaolin felt somewhat annoyed.

Finally, feeling too bored, Lin Xiaolin decided to go out for a walk.

With their hands behind their heads, they wandered aimlessly around the hotel, unaware that they had already been staying there for over ten days.

Students were hurrying along the corridor, all preparing to leave.

While taking a casual stroll, Lin Xiaolin unexpectedly found herself at the back entrance of the hotel.

The back door and the front door are actually quite similar, but because the back door is more remote and farther from the road, most people just go through the front door.

As soon as I arrived, I saw a girl standing outside the back door. She was standing in the rain with an umbrella, as if she was looking for something.

When Lin Xiaolin got closer, he was surprised to see that it was Wan Qiao.

At this moment, Wanqiao seemed to sense something as well. She turned around and met Lin Xiaolin's gaze. Lin Xiaolin clearly saw disappointment on Wanqiao's face.

The moment their eyes met, Wanqiao was stunned.

Chapter 191 Farewell

The two sat on the steps by the door. Wanqiao folded the umbrella and placed it at her feet, then swung her legs.

"What are you looking for outside in the rain?"

Lin Xiaolin asked curiously, having just arrived and seen Wanqiao searching for something in the rain.

"It was a cheetah. It didn't seem to have a trainer. It was very, very small. I saw it when I first arrived and would bring some food to feed it every day. Today, I was planning to take it back with me, but I don't know if it's because of the rain or something else, it's not here anymore."

Wanqiao's face was filled with barely suppressed disappointment.

"They're probably playing outside. After all, Skitty is a very mischievous Pokémon."

Lin Xiaolin could only offer words of comfort and advice.

"Ah."

Wanqiao nodded, and the atmosphere immediately quieted down.

Lin Xiaolin touched her nose, and suddenly became quiet.

Wanqiao's cell phone rang.

"Hey?"

"Wanqiao, we're leaving. Where are you going?"

Fang Yao's voice came from the other end of the phone.

"I...I...I'll be right back."

After saying that, Wanqiao hung up the phone and stood up, and Lin Xiaolin also stood up.

"Take care on your journey."

Lin Xiaolin smiled and waved to Wanqiao.

Wanqiao stopped in her tracks, then turned around and waved, a smile on her face, but with a hint of tears in the corner of her eyes.

Lin Xiaolin was taken aback; this was the first time she had seen Wanqiao smile since she had known her for so long.

But by the time he realized what was happening, Wanqiao had already disappeared.

Lin Xiaolin touched her nose.

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

Wanqiao ran towards the front door, finally unable to hold back her tears as two streaks of tears streamed down her face.

Every little thing Lin Xiaolin did to help her this year, every little thing they did together this year.

However, he quickly wiped away the tears from his eyes with both hands and walked to the front door with a slight smile.

Fang Yao waved at her, and she waved back.

The car was already parked in front of the hotel, waiting for her.

Just as Wanqiao got into the car and was about to close the door, a pink figure rushed into her arms.

"Meow meow!"

Wanqiao was startled, but upon closer inspection, she realized it was the cheetah.

Xiangwei Miao looked at Wanqiao with her pitiful big eyes.

Wanqiao smiled and gently stroked the cat's tail.

"Let's go home together."

------

After Wanqiao and Tangtian left, Lin Xiaolin returned to her room and saw Yan Fan watching the convoy depart through the window.

"Is everyone gone?"

Lin Xiaolin walked up to Yan Fan and asked.

"Well, An Yang was just about to say hello to you, but you weren't here. He said we should get together sometime in the future."

Yan Fan shrugged helplessly.

Lin Xiaolin smiled but didn't answer, staring blankly at the departing convoy for a while.

------

The next morning, Longdu.

Lin Xiaolin walked out of the airport carrying a backpack and a black box in her arms, followed by Yan Fan dragging two pieces of luggage and Qin Lele with her hands empty.

"Little Lin, where are you going later?"

Yan Fan stopped beside Lin Xiaolin, panting.

"I'm going to see the Heavenly King Lingxin. I'll come back to find you when I get out."

Should I give you a freebie?

"No need, you can go first."

"Okay, then Lele and I will go first."

As Yan Fan spoke, a tropical dragon landed beside him. The trainer on it was wearing Yan Group's uniform, so it seemed to have come specifically to pick up Yan Fan and his group.

"Okay, I'll ask you guys when I have time."

Lin Xiaolin waved his hand and walked in a random direction. He sent all his luggage back to Star City, only taking Jirachi's crystal and Swablu's egg with him.

I've been through so much these past few days, I need to go to Lingxin for some guidance first.

Walking into an empty alley, Lin Xiaolin looked around to make sure no one was there before picking up the pink bead she had been carrying.

The next moment, the sounds around Lin Xiaolin became quiet, with only some birds chirping.

I looked up and saw Lingxin.

Lingxin then moved a table outside, carrying tea and some fruit, indicating that she had just finished breakfast.

"Sister Lingxin".

After releasing the elves, Lin Xiaolin sat down and placed the black box on the table.

Lingxin gently put down her teacup, glanced at the black box with some confusion.
