Xi's room is not far from her dormitory, and she used to walk for only a minute or two, but now she is almost running with all her strength. In less than a minute, she returned to her little world, closed the door, locked it, and frantically moved her The painting was laid out on the coffee table, even though the coffee table was too small and the scroll was too long, almost half of it fell on the ground.

Then, taking deep breaths, she reached out and touched the scroll again.

Walking into the painting is like walking into a layer of water curtain. Only when you know it well, you will feel a slight strangeness.

He didn't fall from the clouds, and he didn't fall into any pool. In this painting, the people Xi painted were very ordinary, and the scene was just as ordinary.

Like pacing, Xia Wan took one step after another, from Rhodes Island's small room with metal walls that seemed airtight to the empty outdoors.

The sky was drizzling, and there was damp water vapor floating in the air. Passers-by on the road were in a hurry, and their faces could not be seen clearly. The sky was gloomy, but it was still bright enough.

Here is the entrance of the hospital.

Xia Wan was standing on the street, facing the snow-white tall building that she was all too familiar with.

Xi's paintings are very simple, and she usually draws very simple, or in other words, a scroll, no matter how long it is, can carry very simple content.

Landscapes and clouds, flowers and trees, birds and animals, if you draw too much, the details will be lost, and if you paint too little, there will be no deep meaning.

So, in this simple scroll, how can a complete world be constructed?

This question is about to Xi's ability, to be precise, it's about how her ability works—one of the reasons why her ability exists only when she sees it, and why she doesn't exist when she can't see it.

The answer is that it is not Xi who turns the painting into a world, and it is not only Xi. Anyone who sees the painting, anyone who steps into the world in the painting, they have also paid their own imagination to build a world, or Said it was memory.

"Ah, it should be like this in the pool."

"That's what egrets look like."

"Snowflakes should be so cold."

"Jasmine is the scent."

Such imaginations, such memories, may belong to the evening, or may belong to the viewer, and together they build the world in the painting.

Just like the world Xia Wan is in now, in this painting.

Mingmingxi didn't draw the hospital, nor did she draw the drizzle or the street, but the reason why she is here is her memory, in her memory, there was such a day.

Perhaps a normal day, nothing out of the ordinary, but this painting chose it.

Xia Wan looked up at the sky, the rain wet her lips, seeped into her mouth, and there was a faint smell of earth and grass, mixed with an inaudible smell of dust.

Although the above explanations are just her guesses, the guesses have now become true.

With the help of this painting, she really entered her own memory——Although it was painted by Xi, Xi didn't know much about this place, only she knew what it looked like, and this painting showed her completely a person's memory.

For a long time, until the rain drenched Xia Wan's hair, her clothes were completely soaked, and they were tightly attached to her body, and the wind was blown with a bit of biting coolness. The door moved.

At first it was very slow, one step, two steps, as if with a little hesitation, not knowing whether to move forward.

Then it got faster and faster, three steps and four steps, accelerating one after another, and walked into the hospital impatiently, stepping on the stairs, regardless of the crisp sound produced by the impact of the heels on the ground, which almost made everyone look sideways.

It's not good to make such a loud noise in a hospital where noise is forbidden.

But how can she care about these things, she just wants to hurry up, and hurry up.

It wasn't until she came to the floor in her memory, seeing herself walking through the corridors thousands of times, that she suddenly slowed down, clenched her hands, and approached the ward as gently as possible.

The ward that Xi really described.

Xia Wan stopped at the door of the ward, and looked at the person in the ward through the vertical glass on both sides of the door.

She, his sister.

Chapter 99 Companionship

Xia Wan's younger sister.

My younger sister, with the same surname as her, with the single name Yao.

Xia Yao was sitting on the hospital bed, looking up at the gloomy sky in the drizzle outside the window.

This is the scenery she is used to seeing—from this window, it is the only scenery she has left, and the gloomy and heavy clouds are nothing compared to the bright and sunny day.

The reason why she is so intoxicated is because whenever it rains, she can smell the air with a special smell, which is the smell of the outdoors, the smell of another world that she has no chance to touch again.

What Xi described——Xia Wan told Xi is exactly such a scene, Xia Wan will never forget, the look she showed when she looked up out of the window, full of longing, sorrow, and regret look.

This world has no source stones and no ore disease. Compared with Terra, it is an extremely beautiful world. people's misery.

Separated by a wall, the distance of more than ten meters is a natural moat that Xia Yao will never be able to cross in her entire life.

Mu Di, as if aware of something strange, suddenly turned her head to look at the closed door of the ward, Xia Wan had no time to dodge, and met her gaze.

Then, she tilted her head in a daze, showing a warm smile --- this is the most common gesture she uses when dealing with strangers, and Xia Wan knows it all too well.

Stranger....It is true that Paradise's current posture is a stranger to her.

That being the case, there is no need to stand outside the door secretly. Xia Wan thought for a while, pushed open the door and walked in, put away the expression of nostalgia before, and returned a smile that was almost the same as if nothing had happened. , Greeting: "Hello, is this the ward of the oncology department?"

"Ah... yes."

Xia Yao nodded, and the voice that came out of her mouth was exactly the same as in Xia Wan's memory, very hoarse and weak, not quite like the voice of a young girl: "Excuse me, are you the family member of Miss Wang in the next bed? She I went for an inspection today, and I'm afraid it will take another two or three hours."

"Huh? No, no, I'm not here to visit anyone... It's just that when I was downstairs, I saw you looking out the window, so I came up to accompany you."

If another man said this, he would probably be kicked out as sexual harassment, but on Xia Wan, the sense of disobedience would not be so serious.

Maybe it was because no one came to visit her for a while, or because she felt that she had nothing to be deceived, she was taken aback for a moment, and then asked, "Sister, would you like to accompany me for a while?"

"Yes, it happens that there is nothing to do at this time, so it's okay to chat with you for a while."

"That's great, my brother...he doesn't have time to come to see me recently, I'm bored to death every day."

There was a bright smile on her face, and the brilliance shown by her sickly pale skin almost made Xia Wan's heart ache every time she looked at it for a second.

Moreover, the elder brother Xia Yao refers to, that is, Xia Wan, is probably not a question of skill at this time. Even if the two live in different wards, she will come to Xia Yao's ward to visit her every day and chat with her. Chat, play games together to relieve loneliness and pain --- only for a while.

In the past, Xia Wan's illness was much worse than Xia Yao's. For the convenience of taking care of her, their wards would only be separated if there was any accident and they could be sent to the intensive care unit in time. At this time, they might not be able to get out of bed , her parents are more inclined to take care of her side, so Xia Yao was left out in the cold.

In order not to let this topic continue, Xia Wan sat on the escort chair, reached out to fetch the apples from the fruit basket on the bedside table, and skillfully cut them into a size that was convenient for Xia Yao's entrance with a small knife made from a black box.

Without flower knives, Xia Yao doesn't like apple pieces imitating the shapes of various small animals. According to her, they look good, but they are too difficult to eat.

"Eat it quickly, it will taste bad if it is oxidized."

She urged, but Xia Yao was a little dazed looking at the apple slices on the convenience tray. It was not until she urged the second time that she suddenly came back to her senses, reached out and picked up a piece and put it in her mouth: "Ugh! It's a bit Bitter, but just right."

"Astringency means freshness. Do you want to eat other fruits? Let me see, there are mangoes and oranges here...they look good, may I peel some for you?"

As she said that, she raised her hand to pick it up in the fruit basket. Seeing this, Xia Yao immediately shook her head to dissuade her, "No, no need, I'm already full with this plate of apples, and the rest will rot." It's a pity, sister, you can eat a little too."

"...Well, let's eat together."

Every time, when Xia Yao is unwilling to eat, Xia Wan will eat with her, so that she will eat a little more—even for a 13-year-old girl, after she eats a little more The appetite is so small that it is unbelievable.

It was when she was growing her body, but she could only eat such a plate of apples, or a small bite of rice. In the eyes of others, it was not only the disease raging in her body that made her weaker and weaker.

But what can be done?

The doctor can't drive away the illness, and Xia Wan can't stay by her side all the time. There is only one way to wait for Xia Yao.

This feeling of powerlessness, which she could only watch but could do nothing, drove Xia Wan to agree to the agreement proposed by God, and made her come to Terra Continent without hesitation.

Now, even if it's just in this painting, meeting my sister in my own memory, chatting with her, and eating something with her, it is quite comforting for Xia Wan.

However, this comfort is not long-lived, she has no way to stay in the painting forever, in order to truly return to Xia Yao and her parents one day, she has to walk on this road full of thorns and unknowns.

It's getting late.

It was also time for the hospital to be locked. Xia Wan turned to look at the sky outside the window, stood up with a smile and said, "It's very late today, and it's time for me to go."

"Huh? Is it already this point?"

Xia Yao obviously didn't notice the time, and it was rare that someone was willing to accompany her and chat about the stories of the world, which made her feel better than she could have imagined——now, this happy time is coming to an end.

If it were any other girl of the same age, she might ask Xia Wan to stay a little longer, but Xia Yao would not, she is not sensible like a child, even if she was a little disappointed, she nodded and replied: "Well, it's really Thank you for being willing to accompany me, sister, I am very happy today."

"That's good. It's hard for me to help you in other ways, and I can only chat with you."

Seeing her so well-behaved, Xia Wan couldn't hold back the impulse in her heart, and added: "If you don't mind the trouble, I can come and see you every day."

"Really?! That would be great!"

This sentence suddenly turned the disappointment on Xia Yao's face into great joy, even if Xia Wan searched desperately, she couldn't remember how many times she looked so purely happy.

Chapter 100 Frost Star Joins

"I can come and see you every day."

There is nothing wrong with this sentence, as long as Xia Wan is on Rhodes Island, she can enter the painting to see Xia Yao every day.

However, for Xia Yao——for the world in the painting, there is no yesterday and no tomorrow, and there is only today when she steps into the painting every summer evening.

No matter what happened last time, it will not leave any traces, and Xia Yao will not remember that she was here before——— The only flaw in the world in this painting is that it is impossible to turn this sentence into empty words Promises kept.

"In the end, I'm really shameless just to see her happy face."

Laughing self-deprecatingly, Xia Wan put away the scroll and put it in the innermost layer of the storage box, pressing it tightly with clothes.

This painting must not be found by anyone, especially the temporary cohabitant, the doctor——this is Xia Wan's deepest secret, she can't imagine being a doctor, or what Rhodes Island will become after learning about it Condition.

After hiding the painting and confirming that it would not be exposed easily even if someone rummaged through the storage box, she left the dormitory and rushed to the medical department with peace of mind.

It took about half a day in the painting, and it was less than an hour outside. She still had enough time to deal with today's affairs, and then went to the doctor's office to find out the situation————— This was the original plan, but she missed something thing.

When Xia Wan stepped into the gate of the medical department, before she took a few steps, she saw Shuang Xing, who was supposed to be obediently in the ward, hugging her with both hands, staring at her with dissatisfied eyes.

At this moment, she remembered what she had missed.

Today is the day Shuang Xing was discharged from the hospital.

Yesterday, I made an appointment to accompany her out of the hospital a little earlier, but this matter was completely forgotten.

"I'm sorry, I have too many things to do, so I'm a little late."

Of course, Xia Wan couldn't say that she completely forgot, so she could only approach her with a smile and beg for forgiveness, but Shuang Xing snorted softly and said, "It's a bit late...it's because I came late Three hours, I've been waiting for you here for three hours."

If you calculate according to the time when she came to the medical department for the first time today, she went to find Nian on the way, and then went to Xi's to ask for a painting, and then went back to stay in the painting for an hour, it was indeed so late.

".....I'm really sorry."

There was no excuse for this, Xia Wan could only bow her head and apologize again.

Fortunately, Shuang Xing will not be really angry because of such a trivial matter, she just wants Xia Wan to know that she is wrong, and seeing her apologizing so sincerely, she sighed slightly: "Forget it , let's go, first go to the doctor in Rhodes Island, and tell her that we want to join Rhodes Island."

With that said, Shuang Xing took the lead, and Xia Wan quickly followed behind.

About two weeks ago, after Xia Wan talked with the doctor that time, the doctor went to talk to Frost Star alone.

Frost Star didn't disclose the specific content, and Xia Wan didn't know much about it. She only knew that the doctor invited Frost Star on behalf of Rhodes Island, and Frost Star also agreed.

From that moment on, Frost Star officially became an operator of Rhodes Island—even if it was only temporarily, at least now, there is a place for Frost Star in Rhodes Island.

Xia Wan was not surprised by this result. Not only was she induced by her nonchalance, but Frost Star was not the kind of character who was willing to lie on the hospital bed and look up at the sky. She would ask to join Rhodes Island as a fighter Operator, stepping onto the battlefield again is almost a certainty.

The question is, how did the doctor change his mind and take the initiative to invite Frost Star?

This made her a little puzzled, so she asked the doctor, but the doctor just looked at her with deep eyes and refused to say anything more.

This made Xia Wan feel that only she was kept in the dark, so she agreed to Shuang Xing to accompany her to see the doctor when she was discharged from the hospital—even if she didn't go in, she could eavesdrop at the door.

In fact, it is true.

Frost Xing originally wanted to drag Xia Wan in together, but Xia Wan tried to persuade her with the reason that the meeting with the doctor was of a working nature, and it was not good to have an outsider present, and then sat in the waiting area at the door and quietly started the machine. black box.

In terms of eavesdropping, the black box can also play an unimaginable role.

With the extremely faint light emitted from the black box hidden in the cuff, the voices of the Doctor and Frost Star came into Xia Wan's ears clearly.

"First of all, on behalf of Rhodes Island, I welcome you to join, Frost Star. I believe that we will be able to coexist harmoniously and overcome many obstacles in the future..."

Let's not mention these scenes of pleasantries for the time being.

Not only was the doctor just going through the motions, Frost Star was also not interested in it, that is, he asked a few more questions when he finally received the badge from the doctor.

Next, is the main article.

Xia Wan heard the slight sound of the doctor tapping the pen on the table, and then the doctor said: "Then, the entry procedure is almost like this, Frost Star, you didn't change your mind in the end, it's because Is it because of Paradise?"
