Chapter 84 It's My Turn

Two weeks passed after Li Yan left.

Just when Li Nuo was about to go crazy from boredom, Aunt Zheng told him that someone would come to pick him up tomorrow.

After being stunned for a while, Li Nuo looked at Aunt Zheng who looked a little disappointed, and the happiness in his heart was hidden.

After getting to know Aunt Zheng gradually, he found that this capable housekeeper was really good to him. Li Nuo stepped forward and held her hand. "I will come again in the future."

Aunt Zheng held his hand tightly, "Xiao Nuo, what do you think of my young master?"

Li Nuo blinked and said, "Young Master, you mean Mo Chuan, right?"

"Uh - Brother Mo," Li Nuo hesitated and suddenly didn't know what to say.

"In fact, I watched Young Master grow up. My mother was once the housekeeper of the Mohist School," Aunt Zheng somehow began to talk about some things in the past. "Although he seems a little unreliable, he is a very reliable person..."

She began to talk about Mo Chuan's advantages, and Li Nuo felt that the filter was extremely thick.

"Actually, I didn't work here originally. Young Master specifically asked me to come here," Aunt Zheng turned around and looked at the villa. "Although this is one of the Mo family's properties, there are actually very few people coming here. Usually, there are only a few caretakers here."

Li Nuo thought to himself, so, is it because I will be living here for a long time that I have specially renovated it?

"Young Master really likes you. Old Master and Madam are very open-minded. Don't worry." Aunt Zheng winked at him. "Okay, I'll be annoyed if I talk too much. I'll prepare a big meal tonight to see you off."

Li Nuo nodded awkwardly and thanked her for her kindness.

Of course I like it, but I can't be sure about the future now, so I can't give a definite answer.

Maybe it’s because I have to leave this place where I have stayed for a long time, so I have a big memory show tonight.

With a hazy and light feeling, Li Nuo knew that he was dreaming again.

As soon as he realized it, he felt himself floating in the air, watching everything from the same third perspective.

As soon as he saw the young man below, Li Nuo frowned.

"So thin."

Compared to before, that self has grown a lot. His height and face are already that of a young boy, but he is as thin as a piece of thin paper. His hands on his legs have protruding joints, clearly visible veins, and his face is very pale.

The hospital ward remained the same, and I had become accustomed to the smell of disinfectant.

No matter how fast the scene is fast-forwarded, the only person by his side is the nurse who has been taking care of him since he fell ill.

After a while, a familiar person appeared. A woman who claimed to be my aunt came to the door.

Li Nuo felt a little puzzled. He seemed to be very nice to him at his grandfather's funeral. Why didn't he come to visit his only nephew for such a long time?

For example, now, the look in his eyes when he looked at me showed no pity at all, but rather like a thirsty person seeing an oasis.

"The surgery is complete. Do you still need to stay in the hospital? Come back with me. It will be more convenient for me to take care of you."

She seemed impatient to take me away, even though my physical condition was not very good.

"Uncle and Lin Ji are also looking forward to your coming." He Yu's voice was calm, but the anxiety in it could not be concealed.

Lin Ji, my aunt's child and my cousin, had a good relationship with him when they were young.

Naturally, Li Nuo knew this information.

"You can also go to school with Lin Ji. There are many people of the same age in school."

Is this aunt kidding, letting me go to school while I’m sick?

When I was a kid, I ignored her and just stared out the window stubbornly.

"I think you haven't accepted this yet, but Xiaonuo, we are the only family members around you now... Your father has passed away for a year, isn't it time to accept it?"

No matter what the woman said, I ignored her when I was a kid.

Finally, she became a little impatient, "You know, father and brother left most of their property to you and set up a trust fund just for you!"

The hands on the legs suddenly clenched, and the joints became more prominent as force was applied.

"Isn't this a bit unfair? I am a family member too, but I got so little. Not to mention the cash, most of the real estate and shares were given to you. Are you kidding me? You don't know when you will die!"

The words in my ears became more and more intense, tearing apart the family's appearance. My aunt only wanted to take money from me.

"If you're just complaining about this, there's nothing I can do. It's all stipulated by law. Besides, most of it is my father's inheritance. It's normal for me as a child to have it."

The child who had been looking out the window turned around and said this.

The expression on my aunt's face suddenly changed.

"If you are here just for the property, please go back. I won't care."

"What are you talking about? You've watched too many TV dramas," Auntie said in a very funny way. "I'm here to ask you if you want to go to school. With Lin Ji taking care of you, you won't have any problems at school. Our Lin Ji is the best in the school, he's very good."

"If I want to learn knowledge, I can find a tutor. I don't need to go to school."

It seems that he has a bad relationship with his aunt, and his words are very stiff.

The last time I saw my aunt, she seemed to be very caring towards me. Why did it become like this?

When I was a kid, I used to be very mean, but my aunt didn't get angry anymore. Instead, she raised her chin and said, "You should know when to stop resisting. There are only two of us left at home. Don't forget that I am your guardian."

"Since you don't want to be discharged from the hospital, forget it. I'll come to see you next time."

My aunt didn't even look at the nurse next to her and walked straight out of the ward.

The nurse showed a distressed look and opened her arms to hug the thin figure tightly.

This memory was frozen on the boy's expressionless face.

After that, my aunt came to visit from time to time, sometimes alone, sometimes with the whole family. Cousin Lin Ji himself also saw it.

Unlike the frail Li Nuo, Lin Ji is very tall. Although they are about the same age, there is a big difference in their body shapes.

Lin Ji sometimes comes alone.

He never mentioned anything about his aunt or his physical condition, but instead talked about some interesting things in school. I was very indifferent at first, but after a while, I gradually started to chat with him.

After a long time like this, Lin Ji appeared in the hospital alone in casual clothes.

When I saw him, I was no longer as bright and cheerful as before, but rather very silent.

After looking at Li Nuo for a long while, she let out a long sigh, "I'm sorry that Mom has been pestering you all the time."

"Huh? Why do you suddenly say that?"

"But you can't continue to be so decadent. Attitude is also very important. If you continue like this, you will really die before my mother."

If the aunt were present and heard this, she would probably be so angry at her own son that she would die.

"Do you want me to die?"

Lin Ji's eyebrows twitched, "That's not what I meant. Forget it, I think you look better when you're so mean."

He touched his head, apologetically, "I won't be able to come see you for a while. I'm graduating from high school and going abroad to study."

“.......”

"I will come back during the holidays and bring you a gift."

I remained silent and just lowered my head sadly.

He still liked his cousin very much. The improvement in their relationship could be attributed purely to Lin Ji's efforts alone. However, he was leaving now.

"Well...thank you for coming to see me all these years."

"I'm sorry, I just can't persuade Mom this time." Lin Ji reached out and touched his head. "I will definitely come back to see you, so please cheer up."

Lin Ji looked at him lingeringly and slowly left the ward.

Li Nuo glanced at herself crying with her hands covering her face, and the emotion of forgetfulness surged into her heart.

The only remaining relative who was truly kind to me was also leaving me, and I felt really sad at that time.

But before he was drowned in the quagmire of emotions, new memories pulled him out.

Whether I was in the hospital or back home, there were only two of us, myself and the nurse. I was so bored that I became addicted to reading novels while playing with my phone.

I read all kinds of novels, including fantasy, martial arts, etc., including this book about my time travel.

A fellow novelist whom he met online recommended this book to him. Li Nuo saw his name in the introduction and read the novel out of curiosity.

After reading the novel again through his memory, Li Nuo's feelings when he was studying came back to him.

Ever since the character "Li Nuo" appeared, my brows have been furrowed. 'He is in poor health like me, and both of them have heart problems.'

He should have been a sympathetic character, but he turned out to be a cannon fodder villain.

There is someone around him who treats him well regardless of everything, but he doesn't know how to cherish her.

At that time, Li Yan in the book reminded me of my grandfather. If I had a family like that, I would definitely give everything for them.

I am very rich. My grandfather started his business in industry and my father is even better than him. Most of the inheritance from these two people is in my hands, so my aunt is so unwilling.

In the novel, Li Nuo's appearances are concentrated in the first half, but the main perspective is at the company, so he doesn't have many scenes.

Whenever he appears, he is either bullying Li Yan or on his way to bully Li Yan.

Seeing this, I was furious. "Ha, he should come to my place and fight with my aunt. That would be fun."

But deep down I am also envious, pure love.

"Can I get this kind of love?"

In the novel, Li Yan is annoyed by the other two protagonists, Qin Xu and Mo Chuan, and rejects all the temptations they offer.

Li Nuo himself really likes this tenacious protagonist, so the more he reads, the more he dislikes Li Nuo in the book.

This person's final fate was to be taken away by Qin Xu's men and disappeared without a trace.

"If you don't know how to love your family, then I'll take over!"

That’s what I thought at the time.
