Chapter 35

In grade four, they now had another lesson in their curriculum: cultivating energliph. Their basic gliphism and fitness lessons continued, and Chui Yims self exercise training still went on, but his limit remained at fifteen minutes stagnantly ever since two years ago.

During these two years, he saw no improvements despite his consistent training. This result greatly upset Chui Yim, but this didnt discourage him, as he believed that ones limits were meant to be overcome. Even if he couldnt see any results, he wouldnt easily give up.

As there was no increase in content for their lessons, there wasnt much else for Chui Yim to learn. Contrarily, after finishing the basics of medicine, Chui Tin was finally willing to teach him gliphism. Thus, he returned home every Friday without fail.

However, he said that he would return to school on Sunday to visit Lam Mings home with him.

The hardyhorse arrived outside Chui Yims house. The familiar aroma of food filled the air. As usual, he went to the dining table and devoured the food prepared for him while scanning the house suspiciously from the corner of his eyes.

Weird.

Despite him spending more time in school than at home, Chui Yim was still familiar with the environment of his house. Just one look, and he realised that something was out of place. It feels like theres something missing?

When Chui Tin came out with the last dish, Chui Yim felt even more suspicious. No wonder it tastes so good today! All these dishes are my favourites!

Puzzled, Chui Yim put down his cutlery and looked at Chui Tin doubtfully. Somethings going on. What do you want?

Chui Tin chuckled at Chui Yims words. Chui Yims quick-wit didnt even slightly surprise him. I need to go on a long trip, and I dont know how long it will take.

Chui Tin looked at Chui Yim, eyes brimming with the unwillingness to part.

Chui Yim jumped up from his bed to realise that he was in his room. He dashed into the living room to find the old bag and four pouches, three red and one black, sitting on the dining table quietly.

As if sensing Chui Yims emotion,the surroundings were so quiet that he could hear a pin drop.

Chui Yim stared at the dining table in a daze. Time flew by; in a blink of an eye, ten years had passed with Chui Tins sincere medicinal lessons and care for Chui Yim.

After some time, Chui Yim raised his head. He wiped his tears before they could roll down his cheeks. Just like what Chui Tin said, he believed that they would meet again someday.

By then, Ill become a son that he and my mother who Ive never met can be proud of. Chui Yim carried the bag on his back and hung the pouches on his waist, leaving the house with large steps.

This made him return to the academy earlier than expected. Lam Ming, who had been waiting, was excited to see him, but he kept silent after seeing Chui Yims expression.

Unlike Lam Ming, Chui Yim had a huge, bald head with no fringe to cover his expression.

Sensing something, Lam Ming left the room quietly for the kitchen, leaving Chui Yim to space out on his bed and only returned with a few of Chui Yims favourite snacks and wine after some time.

Chui Yim told Lam Ming everything as he ate. How Chui Tin and his relationship was like, how he ignored Chui Tins reminders for him to study, which turned into Chui Tin threatening and luring him into it. He told Lam Ming everything like a broken record.

In the end, he fell asleep on his bed, drunk. And Lam Ming did nothing the entire time but listened quietly and covered him with a blanket when he fell asleep.

Lam Ming was the only other person besides Chui Tin to know Chui Yim the most. He knew that Chui Yim didnt need anyone to console him, but a listening ear. Chui Yim was more mature and stronger than anyone else.

So Lam Ming listened quietly, as his company was also a type of comfort.
