Reborn into the 70: Turning Adversity into Her Dazzling Path-Chapter 688: Help

Gu Lingling didn’t know that Yang Yunhai would go to the school to find her early in the morning.

The bus wasn’t crowded at this time, and she sat alone in a single seat, feeling increasingly nervous as she approached her destination.

She had purposely arrived an hour early, fearing that reality might differ from the dreams.

And she indeed came early.

When she arrived at the place where the incident occurred in her dream, it was just as empty as she expected, not a single person in sight.

Gu Lingling patiently walked around, taking a look at her surroundings.

Still, she didn’t see the elderly man that appeared in her dream.

Could it really be just a dream?

Gu Lingling stared blankly at the scenery by the lake.

If it was just an ordinary dream, that would be fine, as long as the elderly man remains safe.

Gu Lingling took a deep breath.

The air by the lake was fresh, giving one a relaxed and pleasant feeling.

Occasionally, some people came here to play with their children.

"Hello, big sister." At this moment, a little girl tugged at Gu Lingling’s clothes, "Can you help me get the kite down from that tree branch over there?"

The little girl was adorable, batting her large eyes with hope as she looked at Gu Lingling.

Gu Lingling’s heart melted at once.

"Sure, where is it?" she asked.

"This way." The girl pointed in a direction, holding onto Gu Lingling’s hand.

Gu Lingling glanced at the place where the incident in her dream might happen. It was still empty. She turned back and smiled at the girl, "Let’s go."

Perhaps he hasn’t arrived yet.

What Gu Lingling didn’t know was that not long after she left, an elderly man appeared. If she had still been standing there at that moment, she would have noticed the elderly man in a Zhongshan suit holding a photo, walking with a somber expression to the place she had been watching.

Then he sat down slowly.

"Big sister, it’s just ahead," the little girl said apologetically, "we’re almost there."

"No rush." Gu Lingling smiled, feeling a bit hurried from the tugging.

When they arrived, sure enough, there was a kite caught in the tree branches. The little girl was too short to reach it.

Even Gu Lingling had to climb onto the branches to hook it.

"Thank you, sister." By the time Gu Lingling managed to retrieve the kite from the tree with great difficulty, the little girl was already impatiently waiting below, smiling sweetly with her beloved kite in hand, "You’re so nice, sister."

"Sister, my house is just ahead. Can I invite you to come over and play?" This older sister was really wonderful, even better than her own sister.

Yesterday evening, her kite got stuck in the tree, and her sister wouldn’t even help when asked.

This pretty sister was much nicer.

"No need, go and play." Gu Lingling smiled and patted her head.

"Okay, sister, then wait here for me, I have something to give you, I’ll be back soon." Fearing Gu Lingling might refuse, the little girl spoke while running.

Gu Lingling, "...Hey..."

This little girl, at least take your kite with you, won’t you?

Now she had to wait here.

The elderly man sitting there seemed to have heard something. He placed the photo into the pocket at the front of his Zhongshan suit, pressed it down with his hand, then quickly stood up, looking in Gu Lingling’s direction.

But having been seated for so long, the sudden standing made him feel dizzy. 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

He took two steps back, accidentally stepped on air, and then fell backward.

As he fell, the elderly man’s face wore a slight smile, and the hand covering the place where the photo was in the pocket of his Zhongshan jacket remained pressed there.
