Upon hearing this, she ventured, “Is he doing alright?”
“Uh…” The actor hesitated. “I’m not sure what’s going on with Youyou, because I don’t know much about this. Professor Romanka has come up with a treatment plan for him. If it goes as expected, there shouldn’t be any problems!”
“Oh, I see.” She visibly relaxed. “You have to take good care of the boy while I’m gone, Hua Jin,” she pleaded. “Otherwise, I won’t be able to sleep at ease. I know I can trust you. You know how to take care of others.”
“Don’t worry. I’ll take good care of Youyou and Natalia.” The actor a.s.sured her.
!!Yun s.h.i.+s.h.i.+ was at ease. “When the boy comes back, tell him I’ll go and spend some time with him once I’m well enough.”
“Okay, I will.” After he hung up, Hua Jin looked worried. Youyou’s condition was not particularly optimistic. He heard it from Romanka himself. However, at this point, he could only comfort Yun s.h.i.+s.h.i.+ in this way. Otherwise, the bleak news about Youyou would cause her to be so anxious. she’d make a trip. That would be too much for her to handle given her wound had yet to heal.
For now, it was best that she recuperated in peace, until such a time that she recovered from her injuries.
On the beach.
Youyou sat on the beach as the waves crashed onto the sh.o.r.e. Before he knew it, his toes were embedded in the fine sand.
Lisa stood by and watched him for a moment, then finally ambled over and carefully sat down a few feet away from him.
Knowing she was secretly protecting him, the boy smiled and said, “Aren’t you going to sit closer?”
“I thought you said … you wanted to stroll quietly alone.”
“I just said I wanted a quiet stroll. I didn’t say I want to sit quietly alone.”
Lisa blushed at that, and moved closer to him.
The boy stared straight ahead at the horizon. “On this planet,” he said abruptly, “360 million square kilometers accounts for 71.8 percent of the Earth’s surface area. The sea looks endless, but in reality, it’s nothing more than a thin layer of blue covering the Earth’s surface. As a planet, the Earth isn’t the largest. She’s just part of the solar system. It’s so big, but it’s nothing compared to the Milky Way. The galaxy is all-encompa.s.sing, but there are so many other places beyond the Milky Way that humans can’t even begin to imagine.”
Lisa listened, confused. The boy was suddenly saying things she didn’t understand and she had no idea what he meant.
The boy turned to look at her and smiled. “Actually, in the s.p.a.ce of the time we use to take one breath, a few lives would have been lost. Life forms are so small in the scale of the universe.”
“Uh huh.”
“Therefore, if the human race are to progress, or even surpa.s.s nature, we have to evolve. Throughout the history of human evolution, only the fittest survive. What remains can only be a powerful race. In fact, humans have no fangs, no claws, our sense of smell and hearing are not as sharp as a dog’s, and our sight is nowhere like an eagle’s. However, human beings rely on our brain to stay at the top of the food chain on this planet.”
“Uh huh.” Lisa nodded silently, but still didn’t know exactly what he was getting at.
