It felt like something was burning inside her body, from her bones to her skin, and from her skin to her nerves.

She took a deep breath and then exhaled.

Take another breath, then exhale.

After a while, the most intense pain subsided slightly.

She opened her eyes and continued walking towards her ward.

Back in the ward, Shi Yujiu lay on the bed, staring blankly at the ceiling.

The Diamond Treasure is recovering well.

This is good news.

But this also means they will miss the pre-op level competitions in the summer.

Based on Lingzuan Qibao's performance, she should have participated in several more pre-op level events to ensure she has enough popularity and prize money to participate in higher-level events.

However, Lingzuan Qibao's body needs to recover, and he cannot engage in high-intensity training for a short period of time, let alone participate in competitions.

And herself.

Poetry and Wine looked down at their hands.

There were no wounds or bruises; it looked perfectly fine.

But the pain is still there.

From fingertips to wrists, from wrists to arms, from arms to shoulders, from shoulders to chest—

everywhere.

Poetry and wine must endure this pain.

She didn't know how long the pain would last.

I wonder if it will ever disappear one day.

But now—

She didn't have time to think about these things.

Poetry and wine. With eyes closed, various thoughts race through my mind.

The pre-op competition was abandoned.

What's next?

We can't just do nothing.

She thought for a moment, picked up her phone, and started checking the summer training schedule.

As my finger swiped across the screen, my fingertip felt a sharp pain again.

She frowned, but didn't stop.

Then she saw a message—

"Summer Training Camp: Open to all trainer teams, lasting two weeks, located in Hokkaido..."

Training camp.

Teams of multiple trainers train together.

Poetry and Wine stared at this message for a long time.

This might be a good option.

No need for competitions, but can maintain training status.

The intensity can be controlled by oneself, and there is no need to exert all one's strength like in an official competition.

Once Lingzuan Qibao has recovered sufficiently, she can start some light training to gradually regain her form.

She can also use this time to see if the pain in her body will lessen.

After thinking for a moment, Poetry and Wine clicked on the registration link.

The screen light reflected on her pale face as her fingers tapped on the keyboard.

My body still hurts, but it's much less so than at the beginning.

She has begun to get used to this lower level of pain.

The next few days passed peacefully in the hospital.

Poetry and Wine refused further rehabilitation treatment, signed a waiver, and completed the discharge procedures.

The nurse looked at her with a worried expression, but ultimately said nothing.

Diamond Baby was discharged from the hospital two days later than her.

On the day she was discharged from the hospital, Shi and Jiu went to pick her up.

The early June sun already carried the warmth unique to summer, and the sky was a pure, clean blue, without a single cloud.

The chirping of cicadas came from the bushes next to the hospital, rising and falling in waves.

Poetry and Wine stood waiting at the bottom of the hospital steps.

My body still hurts.

The dull pain seeping from between my bones hasn't stopped since I woke up this morning.

But she had learned to keep a calm expression on her face so that no one would notice anything amiss.

Poetry and wine looked towards the hospital gate.

A familiar figure appeared behind the glass door of the hospital.

'Hey~ I haven't told my parents what I've been doing these past few days. I hope they don't worry about me~'

Lingzuan Qibao was wearing a simple set of casual clothes.

She wore a white short-sleeved T-shirt and a light blue skirt, and her long silver-gray hair was loosely tied back with a hair tie.

She looked much more energetic.

The color in her face had returned to a lot, and she was no longer as frighteningly pale as before.

Her silver-gray horse ears gleamed slightly in the sunlight, swaying gently with the rhythm of her walk.

"Little Jiu, you're here."

When Lingzuan Qibao saw her, her light green eyes lit up instantly, like a light bulb being turned on.

The silver-gray horse's ears stood up excitedly, the tips trembling slightly, and its tail wagged happily behind it.

"Ah."

Poetry and wine walked by, their steps steady, showing no sign of anything amiss.

"Let's go back to the academy."

As soon as she finished speaking, Lingzuan Qibao naturally took her hand.

The hand was warm and soft, and the fingers gently held her palm, as if it were a perfectly normal action.

Poetry and wine froze for a moment.

She could feel the warmth of the diamond-cut treasure's palm.

It travels through the skin, carrying a comforting warmth.

She didn't say anything, nor did she pull her hand away.

She simply walked forward in silence, letting that hand lead her.

The sunlight shone on the two of them, casting long shadows.

Upon returning to Treson Academy, the first thing Poetry and Wine did was turn on their computers and find the insurance website.

Poetry and Wine sat at her desk, the light from the computer screen reflecting on her pale face.

It was a seemingly reputable insurance company called "Dream Insurance".

The website has a simple design, with gold and white as the main colors, and the logo is a clock with outstretched wings.

The blue and white figure being pursued is called Miracle: Chapter 100 There's still a beach (Eight chapters, please subscribe and vote)

The entire page gives off a high-end and sophisticated feel, clearly indicating it's not a small company.

Poetry and Wine's fingers tapped on the keyboard as he looked up the company's background.

There wasn't much information found.

Publicly available information indicates that this is a long-established insurance company whose business covers all aspects of the horse racing industry.

From occupational disability insurance to retirement benefits, from medical insurance to accident insurance, it covers almost everything.

But what caught her attention most was another piece of information.

The parent company of this company appears to be related to a large family.

The Golden Family.

Their influence extends throughout the entire industry.

From racetracks to training facilities, from media to brokerage firms, their presence can be seen everywhere.

Poetry and Wine stared at the screen for a few seconds, the words reflected in their dark eyes.

Then she looked away, without giving it much thought.

Regardless of who's behind her, all she needs is an insurance policy.

An insurance policy that would allow her to leave her money to Riko Kashimoto after her death.

In that case—

At least part of it can be repaid.

She opened the insurance application page and filled in the information one by one.

Name: Poetry and Wine.

Age: 19 years old.

Occupation: Trainer.

Health status——

Her fingers paused on the keyboard for a moment.

Health status.

Although Shi Yujiu's body was weak, there were no problems whatsoever, and all his tests came back normal.

She filled in "very healthy" in that column.

Then there are the beneficiaries.

She filled in "Riko Kashimoto" in that column.

His fingers tapped on the keyboard, filling in the information about Kashimoto Riko from his memory, one by one.

Name, age, occupation, contact information, address?

Just fill in Tresson College for this.

With each item filled in, the heart of poetry and wine sinks a little deeper.

This information comes from the original owner's memories.

She had only met Kashimoto Riko a few times.

It seems like I've met him twice before, once in real life and once at a previous gathering.

But now, she wants to leave her the compensation money after her death.

That's kind of funny.

Then click confirm, submit, and make payment.

A notification pops up on the screen, indicating that the payment was successful.
