Lu Qinming did not tell his family the news, but ordered his men to hurry up and find the person.
You can hide it for a while, but you can't hide it forever.
All he could do was seize the lost golden time and find the person as soon as possible.
To reassure his family, he fabricated a story, claiming that a wise man had encountered a pitiful mother and daughter on the road and decided to treat them first before coming to check on his son's health.
Zhong Yuxiu had no objections to this. Apart from feeling extremely anxious on the first day, he felt calmer in the following days. He had already waited a year, so waiting a few more days wouldn't matter.
Lu Lin keenly sensed that something was wrong, but he couldn't quite put his finger on what it was.
He went directly to his father to ask what had happened.
Looking at his son's stubborn eyes, Lu Qinming sighed, ultimately unable to hide it from his son's eyes.
When he revealed the news of the master's disappearance, Lu Lin's pupils contracted.
His lips were pursed into a straight line, his whole aura turned cold, and his eyes unconsciously stirred up a storm.
He was absolutely certain that there was an invisible hand behind this, holding him firmly in its grasp.
From initially receiving news of this master, to being guided to find him, and now his sudden disappearance.
It was as if the other party was toying with him, giving him a glimmer of hope to live on, only to snatch that hope away just when he was about to have it.
This can be described as cutting off the fuel supply at the root.
"Don't worry, Xiao Lin. I've already sent people to speed up the search, and I expect to hear good news soon."
Lu Lin lowered his head, his eyelids drooping, and said in a hoarse voice, "Can it still be found?"
The other party had the intention of making it impossible for them to find him, and Lu Lin didn't want to waste any more effort because of his injuries.
If the soldiers who went out to search were put in danger as a result, he would not have peace for the rest of his life.
Lu Qinming had considered this possibility, but with hope so close, what if it was true? Since things had come to this point, there was no harm in giving it a try.
The Lu family returned to its original quiet, even more lifeless than before.
Even the usually carefree Gu Mingyue noticed something was wrong at this moment. Lu Lin hadn't left his room all day, which was very strange.
She arrived at Lu Lin's room and gently tapped her fingers. "Lu Lin, are you there?"
Inside the room, the curtains were drawn tightly, letting in only a sliver of light from a corner. Lu Lin sat on the floor, leaning against the bed, his downcast eyes making him look particularly pitiful.
The knocking on the door continued. Lu Lin glanced at his legs and twisted them in frustration. They were already in pain, so why couldn't he stand up?
Does he intend to spend the rest of his life with Gu Mingyue, dragging this crippled leg along?
Even if my parents say they can help me out, when they get old, I will not only be unable to support them, but I will also have to bleed them dry.
Lu Lin's pride prevented him from doing such a thing.
During this period, his feelings for Gu Mingyue had increased rapidly. He even had a dream in which he and Gu Mingyue were together and had two children for the rest of their lives.
When he woke up, he had a smile on his face.
Now, it's all over.
His dream is shattered; he should wake up and face reality.
"I'm fine, I'm just too tired lately and want to rest for a while."
The knocking continued, and Gu Mingyue was even prepared to break down the door. But when she heard his response, she breathed a sigh of relief, thankful that nothing bad had happened.
"Then I'll head back now. Call me if you need anything."
Once he was sure the footsteps had completely disappeared outside, Lu Lin rubbed his cheeks helplessly.
Now that things have come to this, we can only leave it to fate.
Gu Mingyue eventually learned what had happened from Zhong Yuxiu.
The doubts in my mind gradually cleared up; no wonder Lu Lin had been acting strangely these past few days.
When news of finding the expert arrived, Lu Lin's attitude towards her changed; he no longer avoided her like before and even dared to look her directly in the eye.
This made Gu Mingyue think there was a chance.
It should be noted that Lu Lin had always been "blind" to her advances.
In order to keep Gu Mingyue by his side, Lu Lin would occasionally give her small gifts, and sometimes he would reciprocate by giving her gifts in return.
The two seemed like a young couple in the early stages of a relationship.
But now everything has changed. Lu Lin, like a frightened little turtle, retreats back into his shell.
Gu Mingyue felt that this person was getting stuck on a rut again.
If things continue like this, even if he finds a master, his spirit will completely dissipate.
Gu Mingyue immediately became anxious. If something really happened to Lu Lin, wouldn't her sugar daddy be finished?
Feeding him so much spiritual spring water would be a complete waste.
Regardless of the reason, Gu Mingyue felt that she could not sit idly by.
So Gu Mingyue would harass Lu Lin from time to time until he couldn't stand it anymore and opened the door.
"What's wrong?"
Lu Lin's eyes were bloodshot, and he looked extremely dejected.
If Zhong Yuxiu were here, she would have already burst into tears. Lu Lin's current situation is exactly the same as when he was first injured.
Gu Mingyue kept staring at him, carefully examining him. She was relieved to see that there were no wounds on his arm. Fortunately, this silly boy hadn't done anything irreversible.
"I've prepared a gift for you, could you help me take a look?"
Gu Mingyue said mysteriously, "It's your favorite."
Her eyes were filled with hopeful longing, a burning intensity that made Lu Lin unable to look directly at her.
He hesitated for a long time before finally closing his eyes and steeling himself to say, "Mingyue, don't waste your time on me."
He doesn't deserve it, nor does he deserve it.
A bright and outgoing girl like Mingyue deserves someone better, not someone like him, a cripple in a wheelchair, who doesn't even deserve to stand beside her.
After saying this, Lu Lin closed his eyes, not daring to look directly at her, and even prepared himself to be beaten. As long as Mingyue could vent her anger, he didn't mind being beaten.
"Who said I wasted time? I've always been unrestrained in my actions. When have you ever seen me waste time? Besides, I may not have much else, but I have plenty of time."
If you dare not be with me, I'll come looking for you every day and pester you until you're dead.
Gu Mingyue looked serious, cupped Lu Lin's face in her hands, and gestured for him to look at her.
Gu Mingyue wasn't lying. Anyone would wake up smiling from their dreams if they saw such a handsome face every day.
Since Luli was hiding like a turtle, she decided to take the initiative and seize the opportunity.
In her past life, Lu Lin helped her, preventing her from ending up as a lonely ghost. Now that Lu Lin is in trouble, he cannot stand idly by.
"Even if we don't find a master, we're not without other opportunities."
