Chapter 61
In the small courtyard of the villa, the sound of the Nine Heavens Ringing Instruments jingled, and the whole courtyard was quiet with the melodious sound of the guqin. Yaya lay on the table with a straight face, looking at her father who was playing the guqin with his eyes lowered.
Not far away, Liu Jiayu was holding a brush, copying over and over again the five characters given to him by his master, "Lin Bing Dou Zhe Xing". In his eyes, these were just complicated paintings, and copying one was quite difficult, not to mention there were a lot of waste papers under his feet.
He also completed a few of them. As his master played the guqin in the courtyard, his awkward and twisting pen strokes became much smoother, as if helped by an invisible force, and he was able to write something decent.
After writing a word with great concentration, his tense little face finally relaxed and he exhaled. He placed the brush on the pen holder, shook his numb hands, and admired it over and over again. It was better than what he had written before, so he nodded with satisfaction.
When he looked up, he saw that there seemed to be someone at the door, so he ran to answer the door consciously. There was no way, the donor would definitely not open the door. Now there was no one else in the yard, so Liu Jiayu consciously completed the tasks that his father or housekeepers had to complete in the yard.
Jun Fenghuo was waiting in his own yard, but the faint sound of the piano in the air was so vague that it seemed to want people to hear it clearly, so he unknowingly walked to the gate next door.
The door in front of him opened and a little head popped out, which woke him up from the music.
"Hello, are you here to see Butler Wen?" Liu Jiayu knew this man. He was his uncle who lived in the villa next door.
"I guess...I guess so." Jun Fenghuo didn't expect that he was distracted and ran to someone else's door. He felt a little embarrassed. Besides, he had made an appointment with Dr. Wen to teach him how to drive, so it was not considered a lie at this time.
Liu Jiayu opened the door: "Then come in and wait, the housekeeper will be free soon."
Liu Jiayu didn't know Butler Wen. Every time around this time, the butler would appear next door to help treat the uncle in front of him.
Rong Zhou had absorbed a lot of negative states before, and until now, Rong Zhou has been using a lot of time and self-control to suppress those negative states. Wen Ciqiu helps him every day, and a few hours is already the limit. During the time when Wen Ciqiu helps him, Rong Zhou can relax and stop suppressing them and take a little rest.
"No, thanks." Jun Fenghuo was a little nervous. If he was just simply making friends with Mr. Wen, there was nothing wrong with going in and waiting, but he had a guilty conscience and came to ask for help and lived next door for a reason. This would make him feel deeply guilty. On the one hand, he had a task to complete, and on the other hand, there was Mr. Wen who was very friendly to him.
What's more, entering the target's house like this would make him feel even more embarrassed, so he wanted to avoid it as much as possible. Even if things turned out badly in the future and they couldn't be friends, he didn't want the other person to hate him.
"It's okay, come in. How can you monitor our house if you don't come in?" Liu Jiayu opened the door nonchalantly and returned to the original table first.
“Huh?…!!” Jun Fenghuo was shocked by the kid’s words. It would be unreasonable not to go in after hearing what the kid said.
Only after entering the gate did I see in the distance, on a platform made of rockery, a man in a long robe with black sleeves playing the piano, and a child in a pink dress curled up at his legs and sleeping.
The man raised his drooping eyes, nodded slightly to him as if he had seen him, and continued to play the piano with his hands, looking down, without being disturbed by external things.
After entering the hospital, everything became quiet. Jun Feng would try to keep his voice as low as possible when walking around, for fear of disturbing the ripples of atmosphere in the yard.
Liu Jiayu walked back to her small desk, picked up the brush and was about to start copying again.
After entering the room, Jun Fenghuo was overwhelmed by the atmosphere in the yard and didn't dare to look around. The biggest possibility was that he felt guilty. He walked to Liu Jiayu's small table. There was a seat here, which was usually where Liu Ze or Yan Shiliu sat, and it was also used to accompany Liu Jiayu.
"Why do you say that?" Jun Fenghuo had never met this child. Well, the information he had read showed that the child was an adopted son, and he was only a little over 5 years old. He looked a little malnourished, especially those big dark eyes, which were a bit creepy when they looked at you.
"My dad said so."
This is embarrassing. Jun Fenghuo is responsible for combat missions in the army. He has only learned about monitoring or investigations like this but has never actually carried out such missions. Yet, all his secrets were exposed in just a few days.
"If you knew that, why did you let me in?"
"Dad said you're doing this to protect national security, so there are things you have to do, and you have to do them. Besides, we haven't done anything bad, and only bad people are afraid of being monitored. As long as you don't disrupt our lives and studies, it's really no different than having another neighbor."
Jun Fenghuo didn't hide himself very deeply, he just reported what he could access. Unexpectedly, the other party didn't care about being monitored at all.
"You guys are really generous. This neighbor is not a good one."
"No, Dad said the neighbors are nice, just like the old man over there, who often visits our house." Liu Jiayu pointed with her little hand.
Jun Fenghuo looked in the direction of the little hand. The information of every household in the community was in his mind. That location was the location of his sister's parents-in-law. He touched his nose again.
Because I came here with a mission, I didn't visit my brother-in-law's family. I didn't expect that while I was monitoring and contacting them during the mission, my brother-in-law's family had started doing so a long time ago. This was a bit embarrassing.
"You just don't care." Jun Fenghuo had never thought that he would actually say these things to a child, but the child felt no sense of incongruity when chatting with him.
"I don't care. Master said that living under the gaze of others is very tiring. Only when you are strong enough, you don't need to care about others' gazes." Liu Jiayu said, the power under his hands flowing like water, and the words he had practiced many times appeared in them. "Because I am different from others, others are too curious."
“Uh…” Jun Fenghuo didn’t know if he was dazzled. The child had just been lifted up from the table, and the words on the rice paper seemed to have a bright light flowing through them. But when he took a closer look in a moment, it was just ordinary black ink.
"Uncle too. Why are you curious?" Liu Jiayu looked up at him.
Jun Fenghuo was confused about what it was like. When the child's dark eyes looked at him, he seemed to understand something in an instant.
"Really? What did Jiayu see?" A gentle voice interrupted the conversation between the two. Wen Ci Qiu stood beside Liu Jiayu without knowing when.
"I saw it. I saw countless tiny flames being blown everywhere by the wind. Those flames and the wind passed through my uncle's body. Some of them were bright, and some disappeared. It was very beautiful."
“……” Jun Fenghuo, I didn’t, I didn’t, I don’t know what you are talking about.
