Chapter 426: Settled

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Guo Miao could feel the sorrow in Heleness’s tone.

Like her, Heleness had experienced betrayal and was reborn in another time and space.

Heleness was even more miserable than Guo Miao. Her father had died a long time ago, and her mother was beautiful but had a low IQ. She was often deceived by the men in the town.

Before Heleness was reborn, she was sold to a brothel by her mother for some food.

After being tortured in the brothel, her mother married a widower. She was brought back but was tortured to death by the widower’s children.

What she desperately wanted to protect was the friend who had helped her in the brothel, but now, it seemed that her wish had not come true.

“Perhaps everyone has their own destiny. 1 was the one who wanted to interfere with her fate. Perhaps we were all punished.” Heleness sighed softly.

In this life, she worked hard to participate in the competition and saved herself from that isolated and backward town. In the end, she let her most cherished friend die in that dark and damp place.

Heleness’ eyes were filled with tears. Guo Miao patted her shoulder gently.

“But 1 still have to live on. At least, 1 can live well for my friends in Fog City.” Heleness looked up at Guo Miao.

Guo Miao felt a little sad. She couldn’t help but worry if what she was doing now could really help her avoid those disasters.

“Don’t think so much. Live well.” Heleness saw through Guo Miao’s thoughts and comforted her, “Don’t worry too much. Since you’re already back, it means that there’s still a way to resolve it.”

Heleness’ eyes were filled with loneliness, and she was on the verge of collapsing. She looked like she needed comfort more than Guo Miao.

“Sometimes, I think that it would be great if 1 could go back to that time and be with my colleagues and teachers. That way, 1 wouldn’t have to experience regret again.”

Heleness’ words made Guo Miao feel a wave of sadness. An ominous feeling rose in her heart. She didn’t know how to be reborn back to that time. Neither did she miss that time nor did she want to go back.

However, for Heleness, going back seemed to be a better option.

However, there seemed to be only one way to go back.

Thinking of this, Guo Miao shivered.

Could it be that Heleness wanted to end her life and return to the world she once belonged to?

Guo Miao was about to say something when a group of scholars from Country J came to her side, wanting to talk to her.

Before Guo Miao could speak to Heleness, Heleness had already left the crowd.

This group of scholars from Country J was a little difficult to deal with. Guo Miao talked to them for a long time. After a while, just when she was about to look for Heleness, the latter had already disappeared.

She wanted to send a message to Heleness on her phone, but she realized that the two of them had not exchanged contact details.

Guo Miao didn’t see Heleness again until the end of the banquet. She asked a few scholars from Country B, but she couldn’t get anything out of them. She had no choice but to return to her homestay.

She could only temporarily put this matter to the back of her mind and prepare for the awards ceremony the next day.

The awards ceremony was held in the National Hall of Country N. The National Hall was a simple but very grand building. The overall structure was wooden and its interior elements looked very harmonious.

Many scholars gathered and waited for Professor Longman to announce the winners.

Guo Miao sat next to Li Liang, next to whom was Sly, who had just switched seats with another Country B professor.

Sly sat upright, but his eyes kept looking at Guo Miao. His heart was pounding. Heavens, he was actually sitting beside his goddess!

She was wearing a white dress today, and her body emitted a faint fragrance of some kind of tropical plant.

Sly felt his face turn red. He might even be able to witness his goddess win an award today.

At this time, it was midnight in China, but almost no one was asleep. They were sitting in front of the TV, waiting for Professor Longman to announce the results.

The camera panned to Guo Miao and Sly, who was beside her.

Someone asked in the bullet comments: [Who is the handsome guy beside Goddess Miao?!]
