Chapter 487 – This Sign-in, I Must Go!
Moreover, he believed that even if Song Yi obtained this manual, even if Song Yi discovered the cure for cancer, he wouldn’t keep it for himself.
Song Yi’s character was trustworthy.
Lin Bai thought that if cancer were to be conquered in this era, countless people in the future could be saved.
And many times, saving a person wasn’t just about saving one individual, but rather saving an entire family.
For example, his mother…
If his mother had been saved back then, his family would still be together. Even if life with his mother wasn’t that wealthy, it would have been peaceful and happy.
He believed that many families were like his, where each family member was an indispensable part.
Only when all family members were present could the family be considered whole.
“This sign-in, I must go!” Lin Bai said.
He had to get the comprehensive cancer cure manual.
However…
He had to check in at a hospital in Country A within three days.
That was abroad.
“System, can’t we switch it to a hospital in another city in the country?” Lin Bai asked.
[No.]
Lin Bai tried to negotiate with the system, hoping it would be more flexible, but the system firmly refused.
He had to check in at the hospital in Country A.
To go to Country A, he needed to go abroad.
“But how can I go abroad?”
Setting aside the fact that he needed travel documents to leave the country, which he didn’t have, he would need to apply for them first.
And right now, he didn’t actually want to leave.
Recently, a new batch of freshmen had been admitted to Beijing Medical University.
And Lin Bai had successfully enrolled with the admission notice the system had given him.
He even moved into the dormitory.
Every day, Lin Bai was full of enthusiasm for attending classes and learning medical knowledge.
In class, he listened attentively. After class, in his free time, he either went to the library to read or stayed in the dormitory reading.
He was completely immersed in his passion for studying.
He was so focused on his studies that he even neglected some of the sign-in tasks assigned by the system.
He truly enjoyed the atmosphere of the school in this era. Everyone was diligently striving to learn more knowledge, unlike modern times, where some people went to university just to pass time or get a diploma.
But now…
If he were to check in at Country A, he would need to take a leave of absence from school.
Fortunately, it was easier to handle such matters now. A few years ago, the mere mention of going abroad would have been impossible, let alone actually leaving the country.
Lin Bai hesitated for a while, but soon made up his mind.
“Alright, I’ll go to Country A.”
First, he would request a leave from school, take a trip to Country A, check in at the hospital, and obtain the manual.
Then he would return to continue his studies.

Meanwhile, after leaving the courtyard house, Xu Jinning returned to the Xie family’s old residence.
Once again, she discussed the issue of not being able to find Lin Bai with her grandfather.
But they couldn’t figure out any useful leads.
However, that night, as Xu Jinning lay in bed, an idea suddenly occurred to her.
“You know, it would be great if Tiandao could give us some kind of sign,” Xu Jinning said to Xie Ting’an, who was lying next to her.
Xie Ting’an paused, then asked, “You mean… a dream?”
“Exactly,” Xu Jinning nodded.
In the past, whenever something important was about to happen, Tiandao would send her a dream.
Of course, if Tiandao didn’t send her a dream, giving one to Xie Ting’an would work too.
She knew that Xie Ting’an had prophetic dreams.
Unfortunately, from the moment they learned of Lin Bai’s existence to their fruitless search for him, Tiandao had not given them a single hint.
“Maybe it’s because this matter isn’t that urgent?” Xie Ting’an speculated.
Xu Jinning thought, ‘Is that really the case?’
Regardless, with a mindset of giving it a try, Xu Jinning made a wish to Tiandao before falling asleep, hoping for a sign for either her or her husband.
Then…
Xu Jinning fell asleep.
Seeing that his wife was asleep, Xie Ting’an also went to bed.
Both slept well through the night and woke up the next morning feeling rested.
The next day, Xu Jinning eagerly looked at her husband upon waking.
Seeing her expectant expression, Xie Ting’an couldn’t help but chuckle and shake his head. “Nope, nothing.”
Xu Jinning sighed, “…Alright, I didn’t get anything either.”
“Oh well, looks like we’ll have to rely on ourselves.”
“As expected, Dad Tiandao isn’t always on my side, helping me every time.”
“Forget it, I won’t think about it anymore. I still need to take Siyi to the medical university to see my brother-in-law, so let’s not waste time.”
“Time to get up.”
Did Tiandao hear Xu Jinning’s complaints?
Of course, it did.
If Tiandao could speak, it would surely say to her, ‘My dear girl, it’s not that I don’t want to help you, but you don’t even need my intervention. You can find Lin Bai on your own!’
You need to believe in yourself!
Of course, Xu Jinning wasn’t aware of any of this.
At that moment, she and Xie Ting’an were heading to the medical university with little Siyi.
It was Saturday, and Song Siyi didn’t have to attend kindergarten.
She wanted to visit the medical university and see what her father’s classes were like.
That’s right, today Song Yi had a lecture at the medical university.
Originally, it was supposed to be Xu Fanghua who would bring her.
But as luck would have it, something came up at Xu Fanghua’s school.
Since Xu Jinning and Xie Ting’an were free that day, they offered to take little Siyi to the medical university.
And now, they were walking through the university campus.
“Auntie, where is my dad’s office?”
“It’s over there,” Xu Jinning pointed in the direction.
Along the way, little Siyi was like a chatterbox, constantly asking questions.
Xu Jinning held her hand, patiently answering every question.
“Auntie, are we going to Daddy’s office now? Is Daddy in his office?”
“I’m not sure, but we can go check.”
“Okay!”
With that, Xu Jinning turned a corner, heading towards Song Yi’s office.
Just as she made the turn, a student with a backpack suddenly appeared in front of her, almost colliding with her.
“Watch out!” Xie Ting’an, seeing the scene unfold, felt his heart skip a beat.
Xie Ting’an quickly stepped forward. It was too late to pull Xu Jinning out of the way, and with her being pregnant, sudden movements weren’t a good idea.
So, Xie Ting’an made the only choice he could—he positioned himself between Xu Jinning, little Siyi, and the oncoming person.
And then…
Xie Ting’an collided with the student.
“Ouch.”
It hurt—a lot more than he expected.
The student he bumped into felt the impact in his chest. That student was none other than Lin Bai.
Normally, Lin Bai wouldn’t have been so careless.
But just moments ago, he had been distracted, talking to the system and not paying attention to his surroundings.
Today, the system had been unusually talkative, even going as far as to suggest which route he should take.
Lin Bai thought the system was acting strange, almost as if it had gone a little crazy today.
At first, he didn’t think much of it, but after hearing it chime in repeatedly, even someone as oblivious as Lin Bai started to find it odd.
