Chapter 165: Chao Zhao cried and apologized, "Can you trust me just once?!"

While rushing to Star Harbor, Yun Fuyu raced against time to catch up on his lessons.

He leaned back in the wide chair, the light from the lines of text on the screen reflected in his black eyes.

Chao Zhao ran to serve tea and water, handed it to Yun Fuyu, and then sat obediently not far away.

After what happened just now, Chao Zhao has been completely subdued by Yun Fuyu.

He would do whatever Yun Fuyu asked him to do.

However, Yun Fuyu had no use for Chao Zhao. He was busy studying without saying a word and treated Chao Zhao as air.

Central Star Port was bustling with people, but the special passage connecting to the military academy was very deserted.

The two boarded the Chao family's starship.

There was already someone sitting in a window seat in the main cabin.

Her blonde hair was neatly combed back and she sat calmly and straight.

There was a tea set on the table in front of me, with white mist rising from the cup and the aroma lingering.

Following the white mist, the golden eyes looked at Yun Fuyu with a hint of smile.

"Xiaoyun, good evening."

Yun Fuyu: “…”

He shouldn't have informed Zhaohui.

Zhaohui was actually waiting for him in the starship, with no expression on his face, as if he had just happened to meet Yun Fuyu after dinner.

Zhaohui's eyes curved.

"Come and sit down."

The sofas inside the starship are soft and spacious.

Yun Fuyu, still holding the light screen in his hand, walked straight to sit opposite Chaohui and continued studying seamlessly.

Chao Zhao said nothing and sat on the sofa on Chao Hui's side, not squeezing next to Yun Fuyu.

The whole person was so quiet that he seemed to be non-existent, without even saying a word.

Chaohui glanced at Chaozhao inconspicuously.

Strange.

So honest?

Something important must have happened just now that Zhaohui didn't know about, which led to the current situation.

After the three of them sat down, they fell into a strange silence.

Yun Fuyu ignored everyone and only had eyes for the information on the screen.

Chao Zhao did not stare directly at Yun Fuyu, because that would make his gaze too obvious.

He stared at the tea set on the table, while his peripheral vision was always on Yun Fuyu, as if he was in a daze.

Zhaohui seemed unaware of the strange atmosphere and calmly poured a cup of tea for Yun Fuyu.

A bony hand placed the cup in front of Yun Fuyu with restrained force, and the porcelain cup was almost silent when it touched the table.

Zhaohui: "So, where are we going?"

*

At night, there was a knock on Yun Fuyu's room door.

It was Zhaohui who knocked on the door.

When Yun Fuyu opened the door, his hand was still suspended in mid-air, with a gentle smile on his face.

"I thought you had rested."

The two brothers blocked the door on both sides, blocking the way completely.

Two identical sharp and handsome faces, the same amber-gold eyes.

If it weren't for the different hairstyles, facial wounds and pajamas styles, it would be almost impossible to tell the identities of the two people.

Chao Zhao leaned silently against the left side of the door frame, his face covered in bruises and scars, looking a little funny.

His hair is very short now, which makes Zhaohui's hair look longer.

Yun Fuyu: "What's the matter?"

Zhao Hui: "If nothing unexpected happens, I will succeed the Chao family as the next head of the family and rule the Chao family for a hundred years, until I die, or the next heir is chosen from within the family."

Yun Fuyu was confused: "...So?"

Zhaohui: "So, you can rest assured. As long as I am the head of the family, your friends and their families will be safe."

Zhaohui subconsciously lowered his voice, even softer than when he was talking to Yun Fuyu.

Yun Fuyu looked a little tired. She had just taken a shower, and the wet black hair ends were stuck to the sides of her face, making people want to twirl it.

She was wearing white pajamas, and her feet were tucked into furry slippers below her ankles.

There is also that warm fragrance, unique to Yunfu Yu, mixed in with the scent of shower gel.

The two of them had the illusion of breaking into the little animal's home in the middle of the night. Thinking about the two of them blocking the door, the feeling was even more offensive.

Chao Zhao didn't say anything, looking at Yun Fuyu in a trance, not daring to disturb him with too strong emotions.

After a while, he raised his hand as if waking up from a dream, handed the thing in his palm to Yun Fuyu, turned his hand upwards and spread out his palm.

There was a necklace in Leng Bai's palm, and the pendant was a dazzling yellow gem.

Yun Fuyu: “…”

Chao Zhao's low and soft voice was full of pleading, and he spoke every word clearly.

"This is my personal token. Take it. My subordinates will obey your orders when they see it. ...Will you please accept it?"

The gems themselves are expensive enough, and considering the meaning attached to them, they are priceless treasures.

But at this moment, the necklace looked like a worthless cabbage because of Chao Zhao's tone and the recipient's cold face.

Zhaohui had a headache.

In fact, Chao Zhao had originally prepared a token... yes, just one.

He planned to treat the token of trust as a small wholesale commodity and let Yun Fuyu give it to his friends and divide it up as he pleased.

Under normal circumstances, the number of tokens registered by the entire Chao family each year does not exceed ten.

Zhaohui seriously stopped this behavior of devaluing reputation.

Chao Zhao had given his personal property to Yun Fuyu, and then gave himself to Yun Fuyu, and finally gave the power that came with his identity to Yun Fuyu.

If Yun Fuyu doesn't accept it, Chao Zhao will probably target Chao Hui's power and property next.

In the next step, maybe he wants to pack up the entire Chao family and hand it over to Yun Fuyu.

......The problem is that the other members of the Chao family are still alive, so they will definitely not agree with this.

In order to prevent the situation in the Chao family from becoming a complete mess, even if Chao Hui doesn't mind, he has to stop Chao Zhao.

So Zhaohui said:

"Xiaoyun, take it. Just think of it as a nice little thing to hang around."

*

Late that night, Adrian left the contaminated area and returned to the base to receive prayer purification from the pastor.

Adrian immediately opened Yun Fuyu's dialog box and edited the message.

"I'll be right back. Give it to me."

Adrian deleted it and retyped it.

"I just came out of the contaminated area and will be back soon. Can you give me some superficial evacuation?"

The message hasn't been sent yet.

At this moment, the messages Lancelot had sent earlier popped up one after another.

"Lancelot: Chao Zhao is back, I am negotiating with Zhao Hui."

"Lancelot: Yun Fuyu beat Zhao Zhao into the hospital."

"Lancelot: Chao Zhao has been discharged from the hospital."

"Lancelot: Yun Fuyu temporarily left school, saying that she was going to take Chao Zhao to the nursing home where Lin Chaosheng's parents were staying and supervise Chao Zhao's apology to Lin Chaosheng's parents."

Adrian:?

Why is it Chao Zhao again?

This kind of scene seemed to have happened once a few months ago.

Adrien looked down at the communicator for a long time, his straight eyelashes covering his green eyes.

Until the purification was over and the priest left, Adrian sat there, motionless, like a statue.

But the veins on the back of his hand holding the communicator were already bulging.

Ji Xuanming, who was standing next to him, glanced at him and asked in confusion:

"What's wrong? Is there any urgent news?"

Adrien stared at the screen.

"I'm going to kill someone."

Ji Xuanming: "Who?"

Adrian: "Chao Zhao."

Ji Xuanming: "Oh. Why?"

Adrian almost broke the communicator with his grip, making a crunching sound that made his teeth ache.

"He took Yun Fuyu away again."

Ji Xuanming agreed: "When?"

It seemed that as long as Adrian told them a time, they would rush over with their men and kill Chao Zhao.

Others nearby: ...?

*

After dawn, the starship arrived at the sanatorium in Yuan Guta.

The last time I visited was when I went to the base with Adrian.

Now, the snow here is getting thicker again.

Yun Fuyu changed into thick clothes, and the tip of her nose turned slightly red from the cold.

In order to prevent Aunt Lin from being frightened by two people who look exactly the same, Zhaohui stayed on the starship.

Before apologizing to Zhao, Yun Fuyu had to ask Aunt Lin for her opinion first, at least to give her a rough idea.

If she didn't want to meet the culprit, the trip would end here.

......

After half a year of treatment, Aunt Lin's physical condition has improved a lot. She can carry out her daily life without any problems except occasional pain in her joints.

Yun Fuyu and Aunt Lin sat side by side on the sofa.

He held a cup of hot tea in his hand and slowly recalled the true story of the incident.

Including Chao Zhao's identity, how Chao Zhao disguised himself as a girl to deceive them, how he forced Lin Chaosheng to quit the team, how he threatened him with Lin Chaosheng's parents, and finally how Lin Chaosheng was forced to quit the team.

In fact, Yun Fuyu was hesitating repeatedly along the way.

Should I really tell Aunt Lin about this?

Is it really the right choice to ask Chao Zhao to apologize?

Aunt Lin is in poor health after all, so she will know, and it will only add to unnecessary anxiety and worry.

It would be better to just keep this matter secret. Anyway, it has been resolved and will not happen again.

......But.

If that's the case, then what about Lin Chaosheng?

Aunt Lin secretly told Yun Fuyu that she had neglected Lin Chaosheng too much in the past ten years, causing all the burdens to fall on Lin Chaosheng's shoulders, making his life so miserable.

When she raised her head from years of pain, the child she had carried in her womb for ten months had been walking alone for so many years.

Fortunately, Lin Chaosheng relied on himself to become a good adult and also made good friends.

She asked Yun Fuyu not to hide anything from her if Lin Chaosheng encountered any problem.

Since she was lucky enough to survive, she didn't want to waste the next few decades.

Even if you can't help Lin Chaosheng, you should support him emotionally.

Otherwise...Lin Chaosheng would still be the lonely child who faced a lifeless room after returning home.

Therefore, Yun Fuyu felt that perhaps Aunt Lin herself did not want to be kept in the dark.

Yun Fuyu twisted her fingers unconsciously as she talked about the tea from when it was warm to when it became cold, omitting the emotional entanglement with Chao Zhao in the story.

Yun Fuyu lowered his head and apologized quietly.

"I'm sorry. I didn't judge people well enough, and ended up causing you and Lin Chaosheng so much trouble. If you want him to apologize, I'll ask him to come in. If you don't want to see him, I'll make sure he never appears in front of you again."

Aunt Lin looked worried from the moment she started listening, and her dry but warm palm silently held Yun Fuyu's hand.

After hearing the end, she fell silent, hugged Yun Fuyu like a mother hugging her child, and let Yun Fuyu lean on her arms.

It was as if he could see through all the panic and helplessness hidden in the unfinished words.

Lin Chaosheng told her that Yun Fuyu has always been very strong-willed.

I was deceived with good intentions to help others, and my friend's life was threatened. I went to find the culprit in person to deal with the matter. In the end, I had to leave school with the risk of wasting a year's hard work, and I didn't know if I could return in time to participate in the joint military exercise.

Even mature adults would be easily overwhelmed when faced with such things, let alone a child who has just reached adulthood and may even be an orphan and have lost his memory.

...If Xiaoyun’s parents knew about this, they would be so sad.

She patted Yun Fuyu's back gently, her tone as soft as if she was singing a lullaby.

"Our Xiaoyun is a very strong and capable child. If it were me, I wouldn't know what to do. But you can beat him now. You must have suffered so much to become so strong. So, this is not your fault. Don't take it upon yourself..."

Yun Fuyu's back was stiff, but it gradually relaxed after he felt the gentle touch on his head.

He quietly grasped the hem of his knitted cardigan, finding a place to hide his expression. His eyes and nose felt sore, and he said sullenly:

"But if I hadn't believed him, none of this would have happened."

Aunt Lin gently shook Yun Fu Yu as if she was coaxing a child.

"Then if it happened again, and if you met someone asking for help again, would you still help?"

Yun Fuyu sniffed, thought for a long time, and slowly nodded.

"I will investigate thoroughly before deciding whether to help or not."

Aunt Lin: "If you hadn't believed him then, wouldn't he have threatened you later?"

Although Yun Fuyu avoided the topic, Aunt Lin knew the whole story.

Xiaoyun is so cute, and the culprit deliberately approached her and took such a long detour, threatening Xiaoyun and taking the couple away in the name of the foundation. He must have some ulterior motives towards Xiaoyun.

Yun Fuyu was silent for a while.

"It seems that it will still..."

Aunt Lin: "That's right. Isn't that enough? Bad people do bad things because they have bad intentions, not because you did anything wrong. Xiaoyun is a good child, so you should be nicer to yourself."

Time can stop the bleeding of a wound, and a shift in strength and status can smooth out the scar.

But during the long period between bleeding and healing, Yun Fuyu was just another lonely child, bandaging his own wounds, exhausted, and slowly learning how to stop those who wanted to hurt him.

*

Yun Fuyu gently closed the door, walked out, and said to Chao Zhao:

"Let's go."

Chao Zhao looked a little helpless and looked cautiously at Yun Fuyu's red eyes.

"...What's wrong? Why are you leaving so suddenly? I haven't apologized yet."

Yun Fuyu lowered his eyes and avoided the question.

"No need to apologize, let's go."

As he spoke, Yun Fuyu walked ahead along the corridor.

But Chao Zhao lowered his head and stood there without moving.

The unwilling air condensed into a transparent wall, standing between Yun Fuyu and him.

Can't leave.

An apology must be made.

Otherwise, Yun Fuyu would always remember this unresolved issue in her heart, and she would feel that Chao Zhao would always owe them an apology.

So Chao Zhao opened the door and walked straight in.

Yun Fuyu didn't expect him to suddenly go crazy, so she immediately rushed back to stop him and pulled Chao Zhao to prevent him from entering.

“What are you doing!”

But Chao Zhao desperately clung to the door frame and refused to close the door. He shouted to Aunt Lin inside the room:

"I'm here to apologize!"

Chao Zhao didn't want to have any physical conflict with Yun Fuyu. No matter how hard Yun Fuyu pulled back, he held on to the door frame tightly and refused to move at all. In the end, the door frame was almost pulled off.

Yun Fuyu was afraid of scaring Aunt Lin, so she didn't dare to knock Chao Zhao out directly. She gritted her teeth and said:

"You come out first!"

Chao Zhao: "I'm sorry! ... I'm sorry! I've promised hundreds of times that I won't cause trouble for Lin Chaosheng! I really won't do that!"

He was clearly yelling, but his voice sounded like an unwilling plea.

Chao Zhao's eyes were red and he looked at Yun Fuyu with tears in his eyes, his jawline like a tightly stretched bowstring.

"I'll give them a token of love. No one can stop them no matter who comes. Can you trust me for once?"

The quiet nursing home was suddenly filled with a huge noise source like Chao Zhao. Yun Fuyu didn't dare to look at Aunt Lin's expression and grabbed Chao Zhao by the waist and dragged him back.

"Come out with me first...!"

Chao Zhao was so angry and aggrieved that he didn't even care about embarrassing himself in front of others.

Why did Yun Fuyu still not believe him even after explaining everything to this extent?

Why can Yun Fuyu forgive Adrian?

Chao Zhao glanced at the fruit knife in the fruit bowl on the table.

...Is it because of this?

Adrian had let Yun Fuyu stab him directly, so Yun Fuyu could forgive Adrian now.

Is it because of this?

Chao Zhao's mental power suddenly stretched out towards the fruit knife without any warning. He held it tightly in his hand, and with lightning speed, he stabbed it into his abdomen with his backhand!

-----------------------

The author has something to say:

During the time Xiaoyun, Xiaolin and Aunt Lin were in the sanatorium, they talked about many things.

Xiao Lin quietly told Aunt Lin that Xiao Yun looked soft-tempered on the surface, but was actually very strong-willed and kept everything to herself.

Xiaoyun is very good, he treats Xiaoyun as his own brother

Aunt Lin quietly told Xiao Lin that she also liked Xiao Yun and treated Xiao Yun as her own child.

So, she quietly asked Xiaoyun to "tell me if Xiaolin encounters any difficulties." On the one hand, she was worried about Xiaolin, and on the other hand, she wanted to get closer to Xiaoyun.

But Xiaolin didn't know that Xiaoyun was also concerned about the healthy growth of his teammates.

Xiaoyun sometimes wishes Xiaolin wasn't so mature. [Glasses]

Xiaoyun's understanding of "a healthy and happy family relationship" comes entirely from Zhou Bai and his family (the only lucky character who has a normal and happy family among the characters currently appearing).

There is nothing others can do, but Xiaolin's parents are still alive, so there is still a chance to change.

So Xiaoyun hopes that Xiaolin and Aunt Lin can live a happier and easier life.

The three of them are in a strange state of worrying about each other
