Chapter 92
He was thinking this, but the next second, his hand that was resting on the dining table was grabbed by someone.
It was just a light touch at first, then the hand made a circle, inserting five fingers from his downward palm upwards, forming a clasp of fingers.
Pei Zhao didn't look up, his eyes seemed to be fixed on his two clasped hands.
Zhou Yuli's voice rang in his ears, clear and firm.
"Mom, he's not my friend."
"He is my boyfriend, the one I have chosen to spend my life with."
Inexplicably, Pei Zhao didn’t feel nervous about being “cheated on”, nor did he feel ecstatic about his boyfriend’s official announcement. He just breathed a sigh of relief, and then wanted to laugh.
How could he not be confident about Zhou Yuli's feelings?
Zhou Yuli clearly loves him more than herself and loves him madly.
Zhou Yuli's words were like a grenade thrown into a pool of water. After causing tiny ripples in Pei Zhao's heart, they exploded with a loud bang under the water.
The water splashed and injured everyone present.
The plate in Zhou's mother's hand fell to the ground, and the ceramic shattered all over the floor.
The crisp sound woke up everyone present.
"...Xiao Li, what did you say?" Zhou's mother's voice trembled slightly.
Pei Zhao couldn't bear to watch any longer. He seemed to anticipate what was about to happen, and his hands trembled slightly.
"Mom, this is my boy..." "Pah!"
Zhou Yuli's face turned to one side. Pei Zhao looked up in response. With tears in his eyes, he saw a bright red mark on Zhou Yuli's face.
Zhou's mother covered her hand. The rough back edge of her ring, with some flesh fragments, scratched Zhou Yuli's face.
However, she still raised her voice and screamed: "Let go! What a shame!"
·
The evening breeze blows.
The thing in Pei Zhao's hand trembled slightly.
"...it might leave scars." Pei Zhao spoke for a long time, his voice as deep as ink that could not be dissolved.
"good."
As they stood and sat down, Pei Zhao stood beside Zhou Yuli, holding iodine-containing medicine in his hand, and treated Zhou Yuli's wound with gentle movements.
"I'm sorry." Zhou Yuli said.
Pei Zhao couldn't remember how many times Zhou Yuli had admitted his mistake.
He only remembered that Zhou Yuli always apologized to him. From the time he brought Zhou Yuli to his side until now, Zhou Yuli has always been apologizing to him.
"I'm sorry." Zhou Yuli repeated in a low voice, "...I want to introduce you to my family, but, I'm sorry."
"Don't say sorry anymore." Pei Zhao held Zhou Yuli's face, "I'm very happy, Zhou Yuli, I'm really happy."
"But..." Zhou Yuli didn't finish his words. His hands dropped heavily, his eyes flickering in the night.
This was the first time Pei Zhao saw Zhou Yuli look so sad. In his memory, Zhou Yuli didn't cry often, and the few times he did cry seemed to be because of him.
"Pei Zhao, they kicked me out." Zhou Yuli said, "Once again."
"Children" who cannot meet the requirements will naturally not receive love.
"You finally walked out of this haze."
Zhou Yuli leaned in Pei Zhao's arms, the familiar warm palm brushed across his neck, the master's body temperature was so close.
They had been this close many times, but never before had they felt it was so quiet around them.
It seemed as if they were the only ones left in the world, leaning on each other.
·
On the rooftop, Bai Zhou and Lan Ji sat side by side, watching the thousands of lights flickering beneath their feet.
"So, the other world looks like this, and Zhou Yuli's family is like this." Bai Zhou looked solemn, and there seemed to be an indelible sadness between his brows.
He once thought that the identity issue between him and Lan Ji was not important enough to be discussed separately. Bai Zhou even thought when he was most tired that it was immature of Lan Ji to make trouble with him.
Sometimes he really couldn't understand why some people always had to dwell on the past?
So what if I was hurt in the past? Won’t the future be better?
But……
It seems that people are obsessed with some wounds that once hurt and scabbed over. They want to remind and emphasize their existence again and again, and they are also afraid that if they are accidentally touched one day, they will bleed.
"Lan, let's draft a new charter for Hall City together?"
Lan Ji's mind was empty, feeling the wind by his ears.
The wind in this world is very comfortable. The gentle breeze takes away the heavy mood.
Tomorrow will always be better than today.
Lan Ji thought so. Suddenly I heard someone next to me ask myself.
"What?" Lan Ji turned his head, surprise in his eyes. He seemed not to hear clearly what Bai Zhou said.
"I say..." Bai Zhou's gentle voice spread in the evening breeze, "Let's rebuild Hall City together."
There seems to be a sound of wind in my ears.
My throat feels sore.
It felt like a tiny reed was reaching into my throat and tickling it gently.
"……good."
After a long while, Lan Ji answered.
·
"boom"--
There was a loud bang and the surroundings began to shake. Everyone stood up at the same time and stepped onto the rooftop.
A long, shining mirror whip pierced through the group of people and hung in the air.
Pei Zhao stepped on the rooftop with one foot, and his clothes were blown up by the wind blowing towards him.
"It looks like they are coming."
He grasped the hand of the person next to him and raised the corner of his mouth, "Are you ready?"
"Yeah." Zhou Yuli replied.
The fire phoenix flew forward from the sky and stopped at the source of the sound. Dark clouds gathered in the sky at some point - a few seconds later, snowflakes actually began to fall.
"New skills?" Pei Zhao raised his eyes and looked at Lan Ji with a little joy.
"After the Pure White Hell, I developed it carefully."
Ice and snow have the same origin, so if you can control ice, you can naturally control snow. The pure white hell gave Lan Ji a lot of inspiration for the evolution of his skills.
"That's very good." Pei Zhao praised.
After falling to the ground, the snowflakes turned into upside-down ice spikes, nailing the ground to the ground.
The whole place was desolate and dilapidated. It seemed like there was something hiding underground, trying to come out.
And Lan Ji's bone-chilling ice nails just suppressed those things into the ground!
The vibrations quickly spread from the ground to the entire continent. The ice spikes soon could not hold on any longer. After a few creaking sounds, they finally gave way and turned into powder after a huge impact.
Lan Ji was also impacted by the force and his face turned pale instantly.
"Lan!" On top of the Fire Phoenix, Bai Zhou's eyes were bloodshot.
Pei Zhao accidentally grabbed Lan Ji's forearm to give him some support so that he wouldn't fall.
Lan Ji adjusted himself quickly, and countless pieces of ice and snow instantly turned into water mist, sweeping across the ground quickly. Like a layer of white gauze was lifted.
"I'm fine. There's a lot of stuff down there."
The information was quickly transmitted, the mirror whip was swung, and Lan Ji was brought to the back of the Fire Phoenix.
"Hold on tight." Bai Zhou said this and rolled off the Fire Phoenix.
At this moment, under everyone, thick tentacles pushed away the ground and flattened the tall buildings unscrupulously.
The originally peaceful city fell into panic in an instant. The warm scene of thousands of lights that was enviable a second ago suddenly turned into a living hell.
"What the hell are these things?" Pei Zhao saw with his own eyes a tentacle easily crush a building, and his pupils suddenly shrank.
"I said this was a monster from Cthulhu. What else could be so perverted except them?" Sudi grabbed the feathers of the firebird in one hand and typed on his mobile phone with the other.
"You are still sending messages at this time?" Pei Zhao suffocated.
"I want to ask Yu!" Sudi said without raising his head.
Pei Zhao was so angry that he almost laughed: "Even a fool knows what to do now!"
There were a lot of noise around him, so Pei Zhao could only shout, "Zhou Yuli, I'll send you to your parents. Lan, give them a seal!"
Lan Ji nodded amid the impact of the strong wind.
Zhou Yuli said, "Give them the title, I won't go back!"
Pei Zhao's face turned cold: "You!"
Zhou Yuli grabbed the feather and stood against the strong wind. He swayed his body to Pei Zhao's side and grabbed Pei Zhao's hand.
Pei Zhao: “What!”
Zhou Yuli lowered his eyes, the tragedy on the ground turned into bright stars in his eyes. He was like a stray dog, with a pitiful and pleading expression.
"Please, don't send me away."
Seeing his expression, Pei Zhao couldn't bear to chase him away.
The mirror whip swung and rolled through the space between the two of them, and its soft inner belly wrapped around Zhou Yuli's strong waist.
"If you want to stay here, just follow me closely. Are you afraid of pain?"
Zhou Yuli smiled and said, "I'm not afraid of pain."
"good."
Back in this world, Zhou Yuli's wooden vine could not be used, and the only thing that could hold people in place was the mirror whip. However, this was originally an offensive weapon. Even though Pei Zhao had tried his best to point the soft side toward Zhou Yuli, after a moment, fine bloodstains still appeared on the snow-white shirt around Zhou Yuli's waist.
But Zhou Yuli looked normal, as if he felt no pain. His gaze turned to a residential building on the lower floor. Lan Ji was holding the tip of the mirror whip with one hand, and tightly sealing the room with hard ice!
A few minutes later, they landed back on the rooftop.
"They insisted that it was just an earthquake and wanted to break through the ice wall to rush out. I had to knock them out first." Lan Ji ran up the stairs with a pale face and said to Zhou Yuli with guilt on his face.
"Thank you for your hard work, Lan Ji." Zhou Yuli thanked him sincerely.
After saying that, he slowly knelt down in the direction of the rooftop gate. The buildings around him were about to collapse, but he stood straight, slowly and heavily, pressing his waist deeply.
"Dad, Mom, this is the last time I see you. I'm deeply sorry that I don't have your blessing. I'm afraid that our relationship as mother and father ends here. I didn't say goodbye properly last time, so I'm back this time... Mom and Dad, thank you for raising me."
Pei Zhao looked at Zhou Yuli quietly, and saw him slowly lower his head.
Once, twice, three times.
It hit the ground with a loud thud.
One, two, three times.
"That's where our fate ends, Dad and Mom."
Almost everyone present turned their heads away. No one could bear to see this scene.
Only Pei Zhao watched Zhou Yuli do all this quietly.
He thought, say goodbye properly, Zhou Yuli.
If you never want to come back to this world, then as you wish, we will never come back.
The young man's body has become straighter, no longer thin and vulnerable to wind, but Pei Zhao traveled through time and space and remembered the thin and dark boy who stepped onto the rooftop alone at that time.
Behind him, the lights of thousands of homes seemed extremely fragile under the huge tentacles, and billowing smoke and dust rose from the ground and reached the sky.
"let's go."
Zhou Yuli's voice sounded beside him, and Pei Zhao came back to his senses. It turned out that the fragile Zhou Yuli who was kneeling on the ground was gone.
Pei Zhao looked up and saw Zhou Yuli standing beside him.
"Let's go, Pei Zhao." Zhou Yuli looked at Pei Zhao with deep affection and concentration as always, "You will never come back again."
