Chapter 246 Old Memories 4
Seventeen years later.
Lu Yi covered his face with the half-written roll of brown paper, and his bright golden hair was scattered messily on the table.
Ximona at the front table turned around and said with a sullen look on his face: "Lu Yi, Lu Yi...can you show me your test paper?"
Lu Yi raised his body slightly, casually pulled out the test paper from under him and handed it to Shimona.
Shimona's excitement didn't last for two seconds, and then he widened his eyes and turned the test paper in his hand over and over again.
"…Is this your test paper? This is really your test paper!"
God of Light, the signature is indeed Lu Yi Klein! But this made Ximona even more unbelievable.
Everyone knows that Lu Yi is good at the course of religion and world history. In any related test or assessment, he has never gotten a grade below excellent.
Not to mention the six-point test paper he is holding now!
I’m afraid that there won’t be a second answer sheet with single-digit numbers in all the test papers?
"Nothing has been changed... Lulu Luyi, you deliberately scored so low!" Ximona said firmly, and then was very puzzled, "Why? Is there any deep meaning - is this exam a test? In fact, the answer to this exam has been leaked a long time ago, right?!"
Lu Yi finally gave him a straight look and said, "It's a pity for Mr. John that you didn't get full marks in literary creation."
Ximona was immediately delighted and said, "What? You also think I have artistic talent, right? I'll tell you the truth. I've wanted to write a travelogue for a long time. Oh, although I haven't had any serious travel experience so far, I'll have it in the future. What do you think of the profession of a bard? It's super cool!"
"Congratulations in advance on the successful publication of this travelogue for your amazing imagination and creativity."
After receiving the affirmation, Ximona was particularly energetic and excited for a long time. Not long after, he sneaked close to Lu Yi and whispered: Lu Yi, Lu Yi, brother...
"I know you're upset with that little bastard, right? You deliberately got a score of 6 to express your resistance!
"But we're losing out by doing this! Even if this bastard with an unknown mother is lucky enough to be recognized, he won't get any benefits, let alone affect you. Even a leaf or a gold coin in Klein Manor will never belong to this little bastard."
As Ximona spoke, his eyes were filled with ruthlessness, "Did this illegitimate child who doesn't know his own status do something stupid that pissed you off?"
Lu Yi glanced at him, said nothing but did not deny it either.
Stupid? If annoying things can be considered stupid, then it is.
Whether in his previous life or this life, Lu Yi hated those fake white lotuses who pretended to be righteous but said one thing and meant another.
Thinking of the illegitimate boy hiding behind Duke Klein and pretending to be submissive, and the cup that belonged to him that he accidentally used, Lu Yi's face became even more uglier.
Lu Yi didn't understand and couldn't accept it.
No matter how extravagant other aristocratic couples are, Lu Yi has always believed that the Klein couple are different and pure.
But the existence of Xia, who was taken home a few days ago, slapped him in the face, not only Lu Yi's face, but also his mother and his brother's face.
Given that the heir Astor was so outstanding, why did Duke Klein take an illegitimate child home? And why did he hold a grand banquet to help him quickly integrate into the small circle of the newly victorious nobles?
Lu Yi only felt that the happy life he thought he had lived for more than ten years suddenly had cracks.
This irritability drove him to get a random score of six on yesterday's quiz.
——I don’t know whether I want to piss off Duke Klein or myself.
Shimona, who was standing by as a professional follower, knew that the young master was already unhappy to a certain extent as soon as Lu Yi's eyelids moved.
This situation is actually not common.
Louis Klein, who comes from a prominent family, has the capital to trample most people under his feet, but in fact he is not willing to do so. The "fun" gained by bullying others has no appeal to him.
The most outrageous thing Ximona had seen Lu Yi do was to expel a professor who bullied students from the college.
This was the first time he saw Lu Yi showing an irritable state of wanting to do something.
Shimona suddenly developed a sense of mission.
Lu Yi was kind and willing to be kind to others, but he was not that kind! He knew all the disputes and filth clearly.
"Lu Yi, how about letting me have a good talk with him? You can't just let him get away with it!"
Teach him a lesson?
Lu Yi's expression changed slightly when he heard this, and then he shook his head and rejected Shimona's proposal.
At least so far, Xia has only done disgusting things and has not really caused any damage.
If he instructed Shimona to bully Xia just because of his momentary disgust, then Lu Yi thought he would be no different from others.
"Forget it. I'm a little tired. What are you going to tell him?"
The words he had spoken took a turn uncontrollably, and Lu Yi fell silent for a moment, his expression becoming solemn.
Ximona thought that this was a sign that Lu Yi was hesitant and moved by his proposal, so he immediately encouraged him:
"Just chatting with him casually. Hey, Lu Yi, you know I'm not good at fighting, but I'm good at talking. Although I can't guarantee that I can do anything to that annoying illegitimate child, at least I can make him ashamed to death and let you vent your anger. It should be no problem."
Lu Yi didn't want to speak and tried his best to control himself from making a sound.
But he heard his own voice saying, "Okay, I'll leave this matter to you!"
…
That night, the cicadas continued to chirp.
The ethereal singing voice drifting from afar was like an invisible hand, pulling Lu Yi directly into a deeper and more magnificent dream.
Can people see colorful colors in their dreams?
Everything is shrouded in a dreamy misty blue, and the colorful blue reflects other more gorgeous filtered colors.
Lu Yi was pulled by the flowing blue and wandered into a deeper vortex. The vortex carried him up and down in the misty blue ocean, and finally stopped in a white light.
A ghostly singing sounded in his ears, and the closer he got to the white light, the louder the singing became.
"Tar anseo, teach anseo go tapa, teach dom..."
"Tar anseo..."
The white light is extremely bright, so bright that it actually reveals some dark outlines.
It seemed to be the legendary Siren, with a two-meter-long tail that looked lean and powerful, dark blue scales that were shiny and sharp, and seaweed-like light golden hair that scattered freely in the water, as smooth and silky as the waves.
“——Téigh ar ais go dtí do bhaile féin!”
Without giving Lu Yi any time to react, this final voice was like some kind of fateful spell, wiping out all the air in Lu Yi's nostrils after it landed.
The feeling of suffocation forced him to wake up from his sleep.
After waking up, Lu Yi was completely awake.
It was still dark outside, and it was only just past midnight.
The suffocating feeling in the dream seemed to still linger in him. Lu Yi casually put on a coat and walked out with lingering fear.
After waving away the servants who were on night watch, Lu Yi walked downstairs alone.
He felt like hanging out in the greenhouse for a while, but as he was walking through the living room he bumped into the person he least wanted to see.
This moment made Lu Yi's already bad mood even worse.
He just pretended that he saw nothing and ignored the figure curled up in the corner.
But the figure was unwilling to let him go.
"I won't tell my father, and I won't let anyone else know." Xia said stubbornly, with a hint of crying in her voice.
Lu Yi looked up at him and noticed the injury on his knee.
He is most likely the culprit.
The irritability in his heart prevented him from even feeling a bit of guilt. Rather than guilt and apology, Lu Yi felt more irritable and impatient at this moment.
This is actually not right.
His emotions shouldn't be so easily swayed. Even if he didn't like Xia, it shouldn't have evolved into the current state where he was slightly out of control.
But at this time, Lu Yi obviously didn't notice anything wrong.
He just wanted the owner of this noisy sound in his ear to shut up immediately.
"I know you don't like me, but no matter how you treat me, I won't leave. I just want to have a home..."
Xia was crying and complaining about her misfortune and humiliation in a long speech, but Lu Yi couldn't hear anything.
His head began to hurt, and the pain came like waves, one after another, becoming more and more intense.
The inexplicable voice echoed in his mind, and the suffocating feeling in the dream swept over him again.
"Maraigh é! (Kill him!)"
Lu Yi suddenly pushed away Xia, who had approached him without him noticing, and said, "Can you be quiet?!"
Xia was thrown to the ground by him, crying out in pain, tears rolling down her cheeks.
"Second brother..."
Hearing the voice, Lu Yi turned around and looked behind him.
With some dew on the corner of his clothes, Zorn raised his hand and shook the rose in full bloom, raised his eyebrows and smiled at him, saying, "I don't think I came at a very good time."
Lu Yi pursed his lips and said nothing. Xia's tears flowed even more violently, and she seemed to want to say something but stopped herself.
A dozen years is enough to polish the most rebellious little lone wolf in the family into the most smooth-talking old cucumber.
Zorn wiped the tears from Thea's cheeks with a handkerchief and said softly, "Don't cry, your eyes will hurt tomorrow morning."
"Go to bed, nothing happened today, and everything will be the same tomorrow."
With his comfort, Xia finally stopped crying and watched Zorn methodically instruct the servants to warm a cup of milk for him and send him back to his room upstairs.
And Lu Yi just watched coldly from beginning to end.
It was not until Xia and the servants disappeared that Zorn took off his perfect yet somewhat fake smile and looked at Lu Yi helplessly.
"Oh my, your mouth is about to pout to the sky. Why aren't you sleeping so late? Are you worried about something?"
Zorn said, throwing the handkerchief to the servant behind him, "Burn it."
Lu Yi rolled his eyes silently.
"You become less lovable as you grow older... Your second brother is so sad. He stayed up half the night picking flowers for you, and all he got was a cold stare." Zoen pretended to be sad.
Only then did Lu Yi remember that he had said a few days ago that he wanted to see the rose in the garden that was about to bloom.
But he still didn't answer.
After Xia left, his headache got much better, but the irritability in his heart only increased, and he even took his anger out on Zorn.
After a series of tricks without getting a response, Zuo En frowned slightly and asked, "Do you hate him that much?"
Lu Yi nodded heavily, "He's very annoying. I get a headache when I see him."
The headache here is a completely objective statement. Lu Yi thought that he and Xia must have a conflict. His physical fitness has always been excellent, and he has never had such a continuous headache for no reason.
"I see. That's a bit difficult."
"Who is he, and why did my father bring him back with such fanfare?"
Just to pick up Xia, Duke Klein had been sent to sleep in the study for a week and had not been allowed to go back to his room to sleep yet.
Lu Yi really couldn't figure it out. There must be some reason that forced him to do this, which led to the current situation.
"Is he a member of the Holy See? Or, in other words, a student that His Holiness the Pope has not yet acknowledged? It is said that he has an outstanding talent for light, and he may be the next Son of God."
Lu Yi frowned immediately, "The Holy See? The Holy See still interferes in this kind of thing?"
Although the Holy See of Light is spread throughout the human territory, Lu Yi has had almost no contact with the Holy See.
Zorn shrugged. "Who knows what these bishops are planning? We can't touch him now. At least we have to wait until after the baptism ceremony."
"Baptism ceremony?" Lu Yi seemed to be thinking about something.
For some reason, he had a very ominous feeling.
