Chapter 982 Is something else going on?
Days passed by, and everything seemed the same, except for the addition of a vulnerable and wounded child who needed more care.
"I heard, teacher... you've found another child?" Zandik was packing his things when he inquired about recent events. The other person always left too quickly, and even those who didn't want to hear too much news were forced to listen to gossip that might be true or false. "I heard that the child is in poor health, so you've been taking extra care of him?"
Norlinxi was finishing the last step of the process, putting the last ingredient into the pot. After carefully stirring it, he finally let out a long sigh of relief and relaxed: "Indeed, he is a very lovely child. His health is a bit... uh... unexpectedly bad, so he can't go out or have contact with ordinary people. I have to put in a lot more effort to take care of him."
“You’ve been unusually punctual lately. Of course, I don’t like working overtime either, but you used to work long hours, so it feels a bit different.”
His tone was as persuasive and gentle as ever, as if there was no major problem, and indeed, there really wasn't a major problem...
"Actually, there's no problem. At least for me, it hasn't caused me any major problems. Although it is a bit troublesome, it's within my acceptable range. In fact, it's normal for a child like this to receive more care."
"...How about I treat you to a cup of coffee today?"
“My dear little mint leaf, of course you can go back a little later today, but not too late.”
At the coffee shop, the other person added six sugar cubes to their coffee. To be honest, you could already vaguely see the sugar cubes sticking out of the coffee liquid.
With his eyes fixed on the other person, he spoke as he took his first sip of coffee.
"Teacher, my experiment is a little short of funding."
"Ahem... You can wait until I swallow my first sip of coffee before you say it. Of course I know you always have something on your mind when you invite me for coffee, but isn't that a bit too blunt..."
Thinking this way, I didn't refuse. I finished the rest of my coffee and wrote down my receipt on a piece of paper.
"Thank you!"
"It's nothing, my dear student. I know you're like a seedling that needs water to grow, and you need extra sunshine and rain, so I'm willing to help..."
Norlinshi liked children who worked hard, and he liked this outstanding student even more. There were very few students as perfect as him; the student was intelligent, quick-witted, and capable of completing tasks that had not yet been finished…
"By the way, teacher, I have another question."
"Now you want two things in return for a cup of coffee? It's really sad, my dear little mint leaf~" Although she said this, there was no unhappy tone in her voice at all. "Go ahead, if it's not too unreasonable, I will fulfill this additional request."
May I attach a copy of your notes?
"Hmm? Of course... Wait, which one? Did I allow you to enter the library last time? If so, can I see which one you want first? I can give you some directly, since I don't need a lot of things there anymore..."
"A discarded manuscript, the contents of which I found very interesting, so I was particularly eager to take a look..."
What's written on the first page?
"..."
"tell me."
"...It's nothing, just some alchemy stuff. I couldn't see the first page clearly, and it took me a while to remember it."
Norlinxi tilted his head, sensing that things weren't so simple.
