Chapter 133 Chapter 133
As I said before, Luo Shizhen is, to some extent, a conservative person.
The grandmother who raised him had the ideas of the older generation and lived in a small city with almost no new technology.
Ninety-nine percent of people live the life that Luo Shizhen once dreamed of: finding an ordinary job after graduation, living an ordinary life, marrying someone as ordinary as themselves, having children, raising the children, and then helping the children take care of their children.
In such an ordinary script, the word "adoption" is obviously not there.
The concept that Luo Shizhen has been exposed to since he was a child is that blood ties are very important.
But now, he was told that he was adopted.
"Grandma loves me so much, how could I not be her biological grandson?"
The young man cried in the arms of the man he trusted, just like a little child.
Sui An had known him for so long, but he had only seen him cry like this twice.
The first time was when Chen Heyan died.
At that time, Sui An himself was also plagued by the pollution and could do nothing.
The second time is now.
Luo Shizhen has always been optimistic. No matter how hard and tiring the training is, even if he is beaten down, every time he has a little strength back, he will happily run towards him and Lin Qi, his eyes full of trust, without a trace of complaint.
He often gets hungry and sometimes wakes up hungry in the middle of the night, but he doesn't feel sad about it. He just gets up quietly and looks for food.
His academic performance was not good. He studied very hard every time, but his scores could not improve much each time. However, it did not affect his enthusiasm for learning.
Sui An actually doesn't like having too close contact with people.
It was like a habit, or an instinct, but at this moment, Luo Shizhen was crying in his arms. His body did not reject her, but his heart felt inexplicably sour.
Sui An exhaled slowly.
He is not dull, he is even sharp.
Sui An could easily realize where the sour feeling in his heart came from.
He didn't want to see Luo Shizhen cry.
Not as an instructor, nor as an elder.
"Stop crying."
Slender fingers gently wiped away the tears on Luo Shizhen's face.
It was the first time for Sui An to wipe someone's tears, but he did it naturally and gently, as if he had practiced it countless times.
"Grandma likes you, and it has nothing to do with whether you are her biological grandson or not. If she really cared so much about blood relationship, she would not have adopted you."
Luo Shizhen's crying immediately subsided.
He has been an easy-to-comfort child since he was young. As long as someone comforts him when he is sad, his sadness will be greatly reduced.
However, this incident made him so sad that he still choked and sobbed softly.
However, when she looked up and saw Sui An, her sobbing stopped briefly.
"Teacher Sui, you seem...different."
Sui An's appearance was still the same, but he looked inexplicably evil. His eyes, which had appeared either sharp or lazy before, now looked inexplicably charming.
Luo Shizhen sniffed it and murmured, "What a nice smell..."
"Does it smell good?"
Sui An smiled and hugged him tighter: "I'm still suppressing the pollution in my body, so it's normal to feel a little different."
He shouldn't have been there.
The higher the level of the awakened one, the more dangerous they will be when affected by pollution.
The danger is not to yourself, but to others.
Pollution amplifies desires within the human body, both positive and negative.
When nothing is going on, a small quarrel may not be a big deal.
But people who have been contaminated may kill others over a trivial matter.
And Sui An is the most special one.
His abilities are very powerful, but he is also extremely repulsive to others. No matter if they are relatives or friends, when he is affected by the pollution, Sui An will burst out with extremely strong attack power in his body, and he only wants to drive the other party out of his sight.
During this period, Sui An had been restraining himself from seeing other people. Even if Lin Qi came, he only contacted him through his mobile phone.
But he still showed up now.
His desires were magnified and lured out.
When Luo Shizhen called him in a crying voice, Sui An's rationality was completely suppressed.
——Just one look, just one word.
He told himself so.
But now, hugging the young Purifier, Sui An was surprised to find that he did not want to drive away the attacker Luo Shizhen.
In fact, he wanted to get closer.
"Don't talk about me."
Sui An's tone rose slightly:
"If you want, Yong Zhou can erase the adoption relationship from the household registration. Xia Country is a society ruled by law. As long as this record is erased, in the eyes of the law and others, you will be your grandmother's biological grandson."
Luo Shizhen was stunned. He always followed the rules and never thought that he could do this.
"But I'm not grandma's biological grandson. So, can he still receive the money I burn for grandma?"
Sui An was stunned.
It felt like something poked my heart, and for a moment I was a little unsure:
"Are you sad because you're worried that grandma won't receive the paper money you burnt?"
Luo Shizhen wiped his tears and nodded, with a hint of fear in his tone:
"I once heard my second grandfather say that only the money burned by relatives can be received by the people in the underworld. I am not my grandmother's biological child, so she definitely can't receive the money."
The more he thought about it, the sadder he became: "Grandma must have no money to buy food in the underground now. She must be starving."
Even though he became a guardian and had everything he had now, Luo Shizhen still felt that being hungry was the most terrifying thing.
Sui An was a little amused, but not too surprised.
This is Luo Shizhen.
Silly and stubborn, all I worry about is whether the people I love are doing well.
"Don't worry, anyone can burn paper money, and grandma will definitely receive it."
The young Purifier, who was crying softly, felt increasingly sad as he thought about it, but suddenly he stopped crying.
He looked up with tears in his eyes: "Really?"
"But that's not what the Second Master said."
Sui An nodded, and his handsome face, which was always lazy, now showed a bit of seriousness.
He is good-looking to begin with, and even when he looks lazy, he is inexplicably intimidating, not to mention that he is now deliberately straightening his expression.
It's very much like the style of the teacher that Luo Shizhen admires.
Sui An embraced the man and spoke nonsense seriously:
"Your second uncle has lived in the mountains his whole life and probably never went to college. He said that you can only burn paper if you have a family relationship. That's not entirely true. You can burn paper in other places if you have a family relationship. Burning paper facing a grave will not affect it."
Luo Shizhen had almost forgotten how to cry. A tear was still hanging in the corner of his eye, his eyelashes were wet, and his slightly round eyes were slightly widened. He listened to Sui An's speech with a focused and serious look on his face.
Sui An could see his expression as soon as he lowered his eyes. The corners of his lips curled up subconsciously and he tapped the young man's nose.
"Death is like life. Burning money for deceased relatives also has to follow a process. For example, the offerings must be accompanied by incense, candles, food, wine, and rice. Collecting money is also a physical job, just like before you work, do you have to fill your stomach first?"
Luo Shizhen thought it made sense, and nodded quickly, and assured: "I bought these when I was worshipping today."
Sui An certainly knew.
His mental power was always on Luo Shizhen's wrist, and he could even see clearly how many times Luo Shizhen kowtowed to the grave.
When Luo Shizhen was cleaning the cemetery, his mental power was silently helping.
However, he still chuckled and continued to make up stories with the look of a master:
"That's good. You were offering sacrifices at your relatives' graves with proper etiquette. Of course, grandma received the paper money you burned. She must be a millionaire in the underworld now. This is all thanks to you."
There were still traces of tears on Luo Shizhen's face. After listening to what Sui An said, he couldn't help but grin.
Sui An tapped his nose again, looking lazy and nonchalant again, but there was still a hint of tenderness in his eyes:
"Are you happy again now? How silly."
Luo Shizhen wiped his face with the back of his hand embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, Teacher Sui, did I dirty your clothes?"
He had just cleaned the old house and was covered in dust. Teacher Sui hugged him and was of course also covered in dust.
The young Purifier felt a little guilty and ashamed. He reached out his hand and tried to wipe Sui An's clothes that were stained with dust.
Teacher Sui is very fond of cleanliness, and Luo Shizhen is very clear about this.
After all, every time they were trained in the sand, Sui An used his mental power to prevent the sand from approaching, so no matter what the environment was, his body was always clean and fresh.
Sui An lowered his eyes and smiled as he watched the young man wiping diligently.
As he was wiping, his expression changed slightly and he suddenly reached out and grabbed Luo Shizhen's wrist.
Luo Shizhen looked up at him in confusion.
Sui An curled his lips and smiled slightly, but there was a subtle hint in his eyes that he couldn't understand.
"Shi Zhen."
His voice suddenly became a little hoarse: "No need to wipe it down there."
Luo Shizhen inexplicably felt that Teacher Sui's eyes had become very hot, as if there was a fire hidden in them.
This is very different from the usual Teacher Sui. Is he also affected by the pollution?
Is he still angry? Because he made Teacher Sui's clothes dirty?
Being looked at like this, Luo Shizhen felt inexplicably short of breath and wanted to dodge.
Luo Shizhen is not the type to waste time on internal conflicts. He never hides his thoughts and asked cautiously:
"Teacher Sui, are you angry?"
Sui An smiled, and did not let go of Luo Shizhen's hand. Instead, he brought his hand down and gently tapped his wrist with his own mental power.
"No, I'm not mad at you."
Luo Shizhen believed it instantly and a relaxed smile appeared on his face.
"But Shi Zhen, you've already graduated, so why are you still calling me Teacher Sui? I wasn't originally a teacher at your school. I was just temporarily assigned here to be an instructor for a while."
Sui An gently wiped the dirt off his face, his hands were gentle, and he still looked as lazy as before.
But deep in his eyes, something had changed.
"From now on, you can just call me by my name, Sui An."
