I Became a Medical Genius in the 80s

Chapter 981: Chapter 980:

That day, Jing Changle was as usual playing with the small bead his mother left him. Despite never having seen what his mother looked like, this bead was infused with his longing and yearning for maternal love.

The fact that this bead could glow in the dark made him feel as though perhaps his mother was watching over him, that he still had family.

He envied Luo Yirui’s determination to protect his mother and sisters; if he had family, he would be willing to protect them too.

He drew the curtains and held the small bead in his hand for a while. Sure enough, a faint glow appeared and it looked quite lovely as it surrounded the bead.

”Why do they say they can’t see such a beautiful light?” Jing Changle felt very puzzled.

He could choose to ignore Hao Rong, but even Luo Yirui said he couldn’t see it, which meant that truly they couldn’t see it; was he the only one who could see it?

Jing Changle placed the bead in front of his eyes, trying to see if there was any mechanism inside, but although the bead emitted a glow, it wasn’t transparent, making it impossible to see inside.

The bead was the size of a thumb, perfectly round and smooth, very adorable, especially when the faint glow wrapped around its dark body, making it feel particularly warm.

”Mom, is that you? I’ve grown up and met good people, you can rest easy.” Jing Changle gently rubbed the bead against his face.

Gazing at this cute little bead, Jing Changle liked it more and more. He laid on the bed holding the small bead and then gently closed his eyes.

”If only I had skills, I could truly be with Luo Yirui.”

Jing Changle was a bit self-conscious; he often witnessed Luo Yirui’s abilities and as a friend, he felt almost incapable of helping, which made him feel quite useless.

Even though Luo Yirui never seemed to care about this, he still hoped to be a friend who could help in times of need, rather than a burden.

Sometimes he was really eager to go to the small courtyard to learn, thinking about it, he opened his eyes and looked at his small bead, slowly turning it in his hand while recalling the time Luo Yirui effortlessly immobilized the driver and bodyguards.

Admittedly, at that moment Luo Yirui was dazzlingly impressive, who wouldn’t want such power?

If he could be with Luo Yirui like that, no one would dare to bully them.

Though Jing Changle’s gaze was on the small bead, his mind was filled with the scene of Luo Yirui drawing talismans.

So for a moment, he didn’t notice the small bead glowing brighter and brighter in his hand...

When he finally realized, the small bead was already emitting a dazzling light. He nearly dropped it, startled, and quickly sat up, showing some delight on his face.

Sure enough, it could glow. After the last time, he had been trying to make the bead glow again, but no matter what he tried, it wouldn’t shine.

Thinking this, the bead’s glow suddenly began to dim, and Jing Changle panicked slightly, wondering how to maintain the bead’s brightness.

What had he just done?

Stared blankly at the bead?

No, was he thinking about Luo Yirui drawing talismans?

Thinking like this, he immediately started recalling the steps of Luo Yirui drawing talismans, but the bead still continued to dim.

”What on earth is going on?” Jing Changle felt a bit anxious.

He carefully thought back to the situation earlier—he was indeed thinking about Luo Yirui’s process of drawing talismans when the bead glowed, but why didn’t it work now?

No, something was definitely missing—what was it...

Thinking, Jing Changle suddenly realized he had been staring at the bead; could it be this?

Jing Changle’s gaze immediately fell on the bead, and then the image of Luo Yirui drawing talismans flashed through his mind...

Soon, the bead indeed lit up again.

No way, could it be this magical?

As soon as his thoughts drifted, the bead’s glow dimmed; Jing Changle dared not lose focus again, concentrating fully on the process of Luo Yirui drawing talismans... Somehow this felt a bit off.

Soon the bead lit up again, but this time Jing Changle dared not think about anything else, just about Luo Yirui... the process of drawing talismans.

Unlike before, this time Jing Changle wasn’t daydreaming while thinking but was intensely focused on the bead while pondering, so the bead’s brightness was stronger than ever.

Despite the strong glow, Jing Changle didn’t find it piercing, instead feeling warm and reassured.

The process of Luo Yirui drawing talismans became clearer, and as Jing Changle watched, he realized something seemed amiss; Luo Yirui’s image was not imagined in his mind, but actually seen within the bead’s glow!

What was happening, why would Luo Yirui appear inside the bead?

Moreover, the image was very clear and not fast-paced; he could see every step of Luo Yirui’s talisman drawing!

Although he had seen it in reality, Luo Yirui’s speed was too quick; he scarcely saw anything before a green halo flashed and the Xuan Talisman was finished.

Jing Changle watched more intently, not because he wanted to secretly learn anything, but because he unknowingly got captivated by the scene.

But as he watched, he found Luo Yirui’s image beginning to blur, then Luo Yirui started growing taller, and his hair lengthened before finally... turning into a woman?!

Jing Changle was a bit stunned. By now, he wasn’t deliberately thinking about the talisman-making process, yet the bead’s glow didn’t fade.

Luo Yirui—no, that wasn’t Luo Yirui anymore. It was a very beautiful lady, truly beautiful, with a warm smile.

This beautiful lady was drawing talismans inside the bead, quite different from Luo Yirui. Luo Yirui’s talisman drawing carried a trace of assertiveness, while the beautiful lady’s style was very gentle and graceful.

Watching this beautiful lady, Jing Changle began to lose himself, feeling as if he had entered the bead’s world. It seemed he could hear the lovely lady’s melodious voice, speaking words he couldn’t quite understand.

Jing Changle couldn’t help but follow along, reciting these words as he looked, becoming increasingly absorbed.

What frustrated him was that the beautiful lady’s image grew fuzzier, and drawing talismans appeared increasingly difficult, as if running low on energy, like they were out of power...

He very much wished to clearly see this beautiful lady again, as seeing her always brought a sense of familiarity.

At this moment, it felt as if his soul had wandered into the bead’s world, so he didn’t notice Luo Yirui entering the room.

When Luo Yirui entered and saw Jing Changle like this, he was startled. Jing Changle’s appearance was too frightening, completely vacant, with hollow eyes, as if his soul wasn’t in his body anymore.

”Jing Changle!”

Luo Yirui kept calling him softly, but Jing Changle gave no response, muttering something incessantly under his breath.

Luo Yirui hurriedly leaned in to hear what he was saying and upon understanding, he drew a sharp breath.
