Chapter 282 Preference
Li Zhuang was not fooled by him and asked directly, "Do you think he was involved?"
"I'm sure he won't do anything to me." Even though they had been in a very tense situation before, Zhuang Mingxu was a stubborn person, especially when it came to him, this character trait was magnified countless times.
"So confident?" Li Zhuang asked.
Lu Weiyi thought about it very seriously this time, and he actually laughed after a while. He said in a joking tone, "Maybe this is the confidence of being favored."
Yes, he always knew that he was the favored one.
I always hear people say that the sense of security in a relationship is something you give yourself, but in fact, open and honest preference is the fundamental thing.
Li Zhuang was amused by him and laughed for a long time. He waved his hand at him and said, "I accept your request. Go talk to other people."
Lu Weiyi hadn't said anything yet, but he agreed. This made Lu Weiyi feel even more guilty, "Sorry, this time..."
"It's not your problem. Since everyone followed you out here, they are ready to die at any time. You don't have to take the responsibility on yourself," Li Zhuang advised their team leader who had too strong a sense of responsibility.
Having achieved his goal, Lu Weiyi did not stay any longer and stood up to meet other people. He saw Li Zhuang with his hands behind his head. He did not look like a person recuperating from illness at all, but rather looked relaxed.
He returned to his usual unruly appearance and shouted at Lu Weiyi, "Young Master, let me give you a favor and tell you some news."
Lu Weiyi rolled his eyes at him.
Li Zhuang laughed and said, "You will regret it if you don't listen."
Lu Weiyi ignored him and walked out slowly. After two steps, he couldn't help but threw a cigarette at the man.
Li Zhuang did not reach out to take it as usual, but took it slowly, seemingly neither hurried nor slow. Lu Weiyi knew that he could not react quickly.
He put the cigarette to his nose and sniffed it, saying, "It's my favorite brand. Considering that you bribed me..."
"When I was in graduate school, Zhuang Mingxu once gave me a hint of a Morse code, which said, 'Dean is safe, he will find a way, so let me hold on.'"
Lu Weiyi was stunned, and then he heard Li Zhuang continue, "Maybe your rescue was too timely, so he didn't have the chance to play a role."
Li Zhuang's voice was not low. The doors of several rooms on the second floor were open and not far from each other. Although they were resting, they were reunited after a disaster, so it was inevitable that some people would want to talk while they were sober.
The first one to be dissatisfied was Antonio. He had already thought about how to beat Zhuang Mingxu severely. He would not let him have an easy time, nor would he leave any handle for Lu Weiyi to catch him.
Hearing Li Zhuang's words that seemed to help him get away with it, he asked loudly, "He went to the lab and only entered my lab. How come I didn't see him?"
"He should be able to find a way to give you a hint, but..." Li Zhuang paused and asked, "Can you understand Morse code?"
Antonio was silent.
"You don't understand Morse code?" Lu Weiyi asked incredulously, as if this was something very strange.
"You understand?" Antonio asked back.
"I don't understand," Lu Weiyi answered confidently, making the people who were listening to the conversation feel ashamed. Then he continued, "I'm not a mercenary."
"Antonio is actually a mercenary? So cool!" Lu Xi asked curiously.
"Wow, a legendary profession" Gu Qingyue.
"Our team really has many hidden talents," Xu Sa continued.
As they chatted, Lu Weiyi discovered that most people were awake. Although they looked physically unwell, they seemed to be in good mental states.
Antonio's identity was exposed, but he didn't explain much. He just reminded Lu Weiyi, "Li's statement is one-sided. I have to wait until Dean wakes up and ask him whether to fight or not."
"..."Lu Weiyi.
It seems that he really holds a grudge.
Seeing that everyone was awake, Lu Weiyi simply announced the tentative results. With Li Zhuang's words before him, Ning Yuan, who had just woken up, also said a few words, but no one said anything else.
The huge stone in Lu Weiyi's heart finally fell a little.
I went downstairs and had a meal. The effect of the painkillers had been mostly consumed, and the reaction after the suppression was obviously stronger than before.
Lu Weiyi couldn't even pretend to be fine. He held his head with both hands and buried it between his knees, wishing he could hit himself on the head twice and pass out.
But there is still a lot of things to do next, and he can't even rest until someone he trusts shows up.
I need to ask Zhuang Mobai about the medication and see when they can recover...
I need to find out the details of the team that the Hunter Guild has joined...
We also need to see if the forces in Kyoto make any small moves...
The more things he thought about, the more overwhelmed Lu Weiyi felt.
I wonder if Zhuang Mingxu had such a moment in his previous life, and how he handled it then?
When Lu Weiyi appeared in the space, Zhuang Mingxu was walking around the particularly abrupt underground laboratory, wondering what was inside.
The fully enclosed wall was so self-contained that he couldn't recognize what it was at first. He just thought it was a basement that Lu Weiyi had looted during his time out, and he was thinking about whether he should go in and take a look.
The moment he noticed someone was staring at him, Zhuang Mingxu quickly turned around and took a defensive stance - even though he knew that this was Lu Weiyi's space, a strange place after all.
Seeing the familiar figure, his muscles relaxed and he walked quickly towards Lu Weiyi, "Xiaoyi, where have you been?"
He reached out and touched Lu Weiyi's body, checked to make sure he had no external injuries, and gently stroked his face, "You look very bad, what happened?"
"Have all the people in our team been rescued?"
Lu Weiyi did not answer his question, but looked up at him, "When we left Kyoto, you started your own business and were suppressed by the banker's people. When you were in trouble everywhere, how did you survive?"
Zhuang Mingxu was stunned and silent for a moment, as if he was recalling the past. Then an upward curve appeared at the corner of his mouth, "I don't think it needs to be held up."
Meeting Lu Weiyi's ever-calm gaze, he explained, "I have already gotten what I wanted most, and I will accept any hardship I encounter in the future."
The most desired...
Lu Weiyi knew what he was referring to, and it was this frank and caring attitude that made Lu Weiyi feel justified.
"Eight out of ten things in life are not satisfactory. It is no regret to have a perfect life." Zhuang Mingxu looked calm and not embarrassed at all.
When Lu Weiyi followed him, he had a mental illness and was silent. He would not speak even if he was uncomfortable. This resulted in Zhuang Mingxu telling everything clearly.
Lu Weiyi's tense nerves relaxed a little, and his strong body swayed slightly. Zhuang Mingxu hugged him and said seriously, "Xiaoyi, what's wrong with you?"
Lu Weiyi leaned on Zhuang Mingxu, his eyes unusually blank and his expression filled with pain, "I was forced to upgrade, and my head feels like it's going to explode."
When Zhuang Mingxu was at the Qingyuan base, he had inquired in detail about the situations of those psychics who had failed to upgrade and exploded. Without exception, the first thing that occurred was a headache.
His heart skipped a beat, and his face instantly turned ugly. He carefully looked at Lu Weiyi's expression and pressed his finger on Lu Weiyi's brow, "Is it here?"
He himself didn't realize that his fingertips were trembling uncontrollably.
Lu Weiyi nodded.
Zhuang Mingxu suddenly felt as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over his head.
He tried to appear calm as much as possible in order to comfort his bewildered little lover, but the muscles on his face trembled for a long time and he could only force out an ugly smile. His open mouth was like a rusty gear stuck and he couldn't utter a word.
"I just went to the dealer and told them that I want fourteen people with special abilities. If they experience the same suffering as the team members, I will let them go."
“The video from the lab went viral”
"My uncle plans to lead the team away from the dealer"
"The people in the team are now unable to move, and their abilities have not recovered."
“They must be blaming me.”
"I……"
Lu Weiyi's mind was already a little confused due to his headache, and his words were incoherent and sporadic.
After being reborn, Lu Weiyi wanted nothing more than to lie down, but Zhuang Mingxu's accident forced him to stand up. He has a lover with limited mobility, a child who is ignorant of the world, and family members who have no superpowers.
At the beginning, he had to be strong enough so that they would not be considered a burden in the entire team. Gradually, he had to be responsible for the members of the team, and all the pressure was transferred to him unknowingly.
Even though he has lived two lives, he does not have enough experience to support him in everything.
Zhuang Mingxu looked at the person he had protected well, who had firmly supported his spine and survived the most difficult year, and who had persistently cured his disability. However, he felt helpless and bitter because of himself and his family.
He hugged Lu Weiyi tightly and kissed him between the eyebrows, with a firm expression and gentle tone, "I'm here, Xiaoyi, don't be afraid, don't think about anything, I will help you handle it, okay? Don't think about it."
Lu Weiyi gradually calmed down by his deep and reliable voice.
"Let's leave the space first. You need to rest, okay?" Zhuang Mingxu said softly, his lips touching his cold skin.
Lu Weiyi listened to him out of habit, and in an instant, the two of them returned to the bedroom of the villa.
Zhuang Mingxu put Lu Weiyi back on the bed, glanced at the painkillers on the bedside table, and saw that he began to press his brow unconsciously, so he picked it up and asked, "Will this help?"
Lu Weiyi nodded.
Zhuang Mingxu immediately poured out two pills according to the dosage, handed them to him to take, and then held him on the bed and lay down for a while. Lu Weiyi, who had been tense, fell asleep with steady breathing.
Zhuang Mingxu left the room quietly, immediately attracting the attention of several people in the living room.
"Zhuang Mingxu? What's wrong with you..." As soon as Xu Yi spoke, Zhuang Aiyi beside him jumped up immediately, ran towards Zhuang Mingxu, and did not forget to complain, "Big daddy, someone bullied my little daddy, and his mouth is bleeding."
This is an intriguing place.
Especially since there were many people who coveted Lu Weiyi in the past, Zhuang Mingxu frowned and looked at the two adults.
Qi Lin briefly explained what happened and asked him, "Where is the team leader?"
