Chapter 29: You Guys Have Done Enough Bad Stuff
The bright moon hung high in the frosty sky, casting a silvery glow over the land below. Inside the hospital room, all was silent—a heavy atmosphere enveloped the space as if even breathing had become a chore.
It had been ten whole minutes since Bai Tu dropped the bombshell about Bai Yu’s parents passing away.
Yet, Bai Yu remained silent.
In her hands, she clutched several simple envelopes, each one a letter from her long-gone mother, written just for her.
Bai Yu quietly opened these preserved letters one by one, each filled with blessings from her mother.
“I hope Little Fish can be happy and healthy.”
“Remember to listen to your sister, okay?”
“Mom will definitely come back to see you. Just wait a little longer~”
“Mom loves you.”
“Waaa…”
Tears, the size of beans, dropped one by one onto the letter, soaking the words.
Bai Yu’s hands trembled as she clutched the letter, gripping so tight that it wrinkled yet she refused to let go.
“Liar… it’s all lies! Why… Waaah—!!”
Bai Tu’s eyes moistened as she forced back her own tears and hugged Bai Yu tightly.
“Bai Yu, let it out. I’m here with you…”
“Waaah—”
…
Night Star Lan watched the entire tragic scene unfold like a bystander at a sad movie.
Inside Bai Yu, the star was a broken one, posing no risk of losing control anymore.
A “broken star” meant a part of the star within a person’s body had been damaged by uncertain factors.
Once a star is broken, it can no longer wield its power or go berserk.
It would just quietly reside within the person until their life expired.
Night Star Lan remembered this clearly.
But even after the star’s demise, Bai Yu’s vitality was still ceaselessly draining away.
Ye Qingya’s d*ath seemed only to prolong Bai Yu’s impending demise.
Even the researchers on the star front couldn’t find a way to heal Bai Yu; all they could do was wait for the inevitable.
Given Bai Yu’s condition, she’d be lucky to last a few more years.
It was such a situation.
The story was approaching its end.
Night Star and Night Lan were plunged back into darkness.
“What can I do?”
Night Lan’s expression was a bit hazy.
She realized that even knowing this past, there was nothing she could do.
She couldn’t restore Bai Yu’s health, nor could she prolong her life.
Feeling powerless, huh?
Yes, indeed, that was the case.
Night Lan and Night Star silently clenched their tiny fists, a flicker of fire igniting in their hearts.
She couldn’t accept this.
“I refuse to accept this story! I refuse to accept this ending!”
Night Lan might not think quickly, and often couldn’t tell right from wrong.
But!
Even so, this time she wanted to change something; she knew she had to change something.
No matter how small her power, she was determined to create a twist in the story!
“Please…”
As Night Lan made her resolution, the star inside her responded to her strong desire.
Ding!
A flash of white light.
Night Star and Night Lan found themselves in an unfamiliar place.
After a few seconds of confusion, they quickly reacted.
“Perfect.”
“Thank you.”
They glanced at the current time—it was just before Ye Qingya’s star lost control and transformed into a star eclipse.
Night Star and Night Lan had transformed into “real,” landing in the story at this time.
And this was the exact moment she was most troubled by.
But now, they had been brought here by a mysterious force.
Night Lan and Night Star smiled, their eyes filled with determination and courage.
“Let me help you fulfill your wishes.”
…
Back in the hospital room.
Young Bai Yu, while dozing off in bed, suddenly awoke to the sound of the door creaking open.
“Who…?”
The lights flicked on, and Bai Yu saw a black-haired girl standing confidently at the doorway, her gaze unwavering.
Bai Yu didn’t recognize this person, but she found this sister oddly cute.
Tentatively, Bai Yu asked, “Um… is there something I can help you with?”
“Bai Yu, do you want to see your mom? I can take you to her.”
“Eh?”
Bai Yu blinked in surprise, still processing the information.
“But… the doctor said I can’t leave the hospital until I get better.” Her tone was already wavering.
She was caught in a dilemma: be a good obedient child or follow this unfamiliar sister to find her mom.
“Can you tell me who you are?”
“My name is Night Lan. I’m your friend!”
“Friend…?” Confusion painted Bai Yu’s face, her eyes sparkling with doubt.
She understood the meaning of the word.
But when did she ever make a friend?
No recollection whatsoever…
Night Lan flashed a friendly smile, boosting Bai Yu’s trust significantly.
“Your mom is already on her way! Let me take you to her.”
“Really?” Bai Yu’s eyes sparkled as excitement bubbled within her.
“I’m your friend! Why would I lie? Come on!” Night Lan extended her hand.
Bai Yu cautiously took this sister’s hand and was swept into her arms.
“Hold on tight! We’re about to sprint!”
“Okay…”
Night Lan scooped Bai Yu up in a princess carry and dashed out of the hospital room at lightning speed.
Meanwhile, Night Star was busy stirring up chaos on the other end.
She wasn’t concerned about the consequences.
She was set on changing the ending.
At the very least, she wouldn’t let Bai Yu and her mom face regrets!
…
Elsewhere.
Ye Qingya was beginning to transform into a star eclipse.
Bai Yuan had driven her quite a distance already.
The situation now mirrored what Night Star had witnessed before.
The chilling temperature was biting, forcing Bai Yuan to land just outside the car. He had just helped Ye Qingya out when…
They were only a few buildings away from Bai Yu’s hospital, a quick ride in the hover car could’ve made it there in no time. Yet, they’d been intercepted by the Night Watchers.
So, what’s the deal…?
Xiao Jin and Bai Yuan locked gazes, and before they could even utter a word, a petite and very angry voice erupted.
“Darnit! You wicked Night Watchers! You’ve done enough bad stuff!”
A silver-haired loli with red eyes sped into view.
She looked furious as she glared at the Night Watchers, as if they had committed the greatest sin known to humanity.
“??”
The Night Watchers and Bai Yuan were dumbfounded.
Where did this little girl pop up from?
The youth version of Wang Chao couldn’t help but ask Xiao Jin, “Who is this kid?”
Xiao Jin looked equally baffled and responded with top-notch quality, “I have no idea.”
After her outburst, Night Star strode over, approaching the somewhat fatigued Bai Yuan.
Bai Yuan instantly snapped to attention, gesturing for her to stop.
“Don’t come close! It’s dangerous here!”
Ye Qingya had already turned into a star eclipse. Even if she tried to suppress it, she could still pose a threat to ordinary people.
Night Star halted a few steps away and smiled slightly.
“Uncle Bai Yuan, Auntie Qingya, Bai Yu is already on her way! Just wait a moment; she will be here soon.”
Upon hearing “Bai Yu,” both Bai Yuan and Ye Qingya reacted.
“Really?!”
“Who are you?”
Night Star smiled and answered, “I’m Night Star, Bai Yu’s friend!”
“Friend…?”
Though the couple didn’t spend much time around Bai Yu, they were well aware of her surroundings.
At least they hadn’t heard about her having any friends.
And certainly, they didn’t recognize the name “Night Star.”
But judging by Night Star’s earnest expression, she didn’t look like a liar.
The entire group of Night Watchers stood like statues, puzzled by the sudden turn of events, as if the wind had been knocked out of them.
This mysterious girl had disrupted their originally planned course of action, leaving them completely at a loss for what to do next.
At that moment, a Night Watcher noticed a figure rapidly approaching.
On closer inspection, it appeared to be a black-haired loli, cradling a little girl, rushing towards their direction.
“What in the world?”
