Chapter 32 Lin Beichen Says, Let There Be Light!
Chapter 32: Lin Beichen Says, "Let There be Light!"
Lin Beichen lay on the bed with a look of utter despair, staring at the ceiling. He was so frustrated, wondering if his Heaven-defying Comprehension had disappeared. Otherwise, why hadn't he gained any insights after so long?
Just at that moment...
Suddenly!
The room light turned off by itself!
Lin Beichen: ??
What's going on??
Could it be because of me??
I didn't do anything just now, did I??
While he was lost in wild thoughts...
Suddenly, the light turned on again!
Lin Beichen: ???
Is the light bulb possessed?
Is it playing tricks on me?
He stared at the bulb, waiting to see when it would turn off again.
However, before long...
He didn't wait for the bulb to turn off again, but instead, he heard a knock on the door.
Next came the voice of Zheng Xia.
"Chenchen, is your room's light broken?"
"No."
Lin Beichen opened the door. Outside the room was pitch black, and Zheng Xia was standing at the door with her phone flashlight on. He glanced at her and asked, "Mom, what's up?"
"Oh, the circuit breaker tripped just now and several lights at home flickered and died."
Lin Beichen: ...
So it was a power trip!
Zheng Xia saw the bright room and nodded, turning towards the ladder placed under the living room light. Without looking back, she said, "Chenchen, go to the storage room and get mom those three bulbs. I'm going to replace the light bulbs."
"Oh, okay."
Lin Beichen went to the storage room and found a box containing six light bulbs. As he was about to take out three bulbs and hand them to his mom...
At the moment his hand touched the bulb...
It turned on!
The bulb lit up!
Lin Beichen: ?????
The white light shone on his bewildered face.
At this moment, Zheng Xia's voice came from the living room.
"Chenchen, have you found the bulbs? I've taken out all the broken ones, just waiting for you to bring the new ones."
"I found them, I'm bringing them over now, mom!"
While speaking, Lin Beichen quickly put the glowing bulb back into the box, not wanting to walk out holding a glowing bulb—how could he explain that?
He carried the box full of bulbs to the ladder and raised the box high.
"Mom, here you go."
"Thanks... uh?"
Zheng Xia thought he was handing over a bulb but was surprised to see the whole box. She chuckled and said, "Chenchen, help mom take one out."
Lin Beichen: ...
If I could, I would have already done it!
He placed the box on the table, lied, "Mom, you'll have to come down and get it yourself. I need to go back and study!"
He knew that as soon as he mentioned studying, his mom wouldn't say much more.
Sure enough!
Zheng Xia watched him go back to his room and then climbed down the ladder to take a bulb herself. Shaking her head with a smile, she muttered, "This kid..."
Meanwhile, in the bedroom…
Lin Beichen lay on the bed feeling agitated and frustrated.
"This thing about having electricity in my body is seriously hindering my daily life."
"If it continues for much longer..."
"How could it not be a big deal?"
"I can't let this go on!"
Lin Beichen immediately started to meditate, but the result was the same as it had been recently—no changes, despite his emotional and mental fluctuations. In four words: powerless and helpless!
Over and over again, he meditated, and each time he failed.
...
Lin Beichen felt more and more depressed.
"I fail every time!"
"Just how can I get rid of these electric arcs?"
"What do I need to do?"
"What can I do?"
He kept asking himself.
As he continued to question himself...
A flash of insight appeared in his mind.
"Maybe..."
"I should go out and explore!"
"Relax a bit, and treat it as a journey!"
"Isn't that what all the novels I've read suggest?"
"Traveling is the best way to break through oneself!"
At this thought, Lin Beichen's mood lightened considerably, and he began to make plans. Even though it was about relaxation, the key was the journey itself. How could he go without preparation?
And a crucial point in his plan was—
The weather!
No matter where the journey took him, the weather at the destination had to be thunderstorms!
The plan was soon completed.
Lin Beichen found his parents and said with a smile, "Dad, Mom, with school starting soon, I was thinking of using the last bit of my vacation to have some fun, and then go straight to university. Is that okay?"
The couple, watching TV, were stunned for a moment before reacting. They looked at each other, their faces breaking into genuine smiles.
For over a month, they had seen Lin Beichen shut himself in his room without going out, and they were quite worried.
"Of course, honey."
Zheng Xia didn't hesitate, agreeing immediately: "Where do you want to go? I'll have your dad book the tickets tonight, and we'll set off tomorrow!"
Lin Beichen had anticipated his parents wanting to travel with him.
At that moment, he launched into a long-prepared speech, confusing Zheng Xia and Lin Xiangdong so much that they agreed to let him travel alone, even giving him a large sum of money for the trip!
"Dad, mom, you're the best!"
Lin Beichen gave them a thumbs up and then headed to his room: "I'm going to book my flight now!"
"Son, where exactly are you planning to go?"
Zheng Xia suddenly realized she didn't know his destination.
Lin Beichen turned and paused for a moment before continuing to his room, saying, "Oh, plenty of places."
"But you should at least tell us!"
Zheng Xia gave Lin Xiangdong a look, urging him to say something.
Lin Xiangdong got the hint and added, "Yes, if you have too many destinations to remember, you can write them down or message us!"
"Fine, fine, I got it!"
With that, Lin Beichen returned to his room, swiftly booked his flight, packed his luggage, and then had a sound sleep until it was time to leave. He was driven to the airport by his parents.
Zheng Xia held Lin Beichen's hand, repeatedly reminding, "Son, you must be very careful out there. Don't cause trouble, don't fight, take care of yourself, eat three proper meals a day, don't eat junk food..."
"Yes, yes, I know, mom."
Lin Beichen smiled, patiently responding. Unlike in his previous life where he found such concern to be nagging, he now greatly cherished this care.
It warmed his heart!
"Dear passengers, flight MJ5556 is now boarding. Please proceed to gate 4."
The announcement in the waiting room rang out.
Lin Beichen glanced at his ticket, which matched the flight.
"Dad, Mom, I'm boarding now, bye~"
After waving goodbye, he dragged his small suitcase towards the security check.
Reaching the security check, Lin Beichen wasn't worried about passing through due to the electricity in his body.
Over the past few days, he had come to realize that the electricity in his body wasn't exactly static electricity. It felt more like the thunder depicted in cultivation novels.
It was very special, not within the known range of current human science.
That's why scientific knowledge gradually proved ineffective against it.
This unique kind of thunder didn't affect electronic devices, so he could use his phone without any issues.
At this moment, his parents watched him enter the boarding gate.
Zheng Xia's eyes turned red, and she said sadly, "It's the first time our son is traveling far away. After this, we won't see him until winter break in six months. What am I going to do, Old Lin... I already miss our son!"
