Chapter 186 Love is a hand that you want to hold tightly but then let go. He once wanted to steal...
It was evening when we arrived at the main island of the military academy.
Zhaohui came to visit with a bouquet of flowers, ignoring the unfriendly looks of the Fenrir students along the way, and walked towards Yun Fuyu's room.
He smiled and knocked on the door.
"Xiaoyun, long time no see."
The small lavender flowers have a soothing fragrance.
Yun Fuyu took the flower and lowered her head to smell it.
The tails of the finely drawn eyes were slightly raised, and the long eyelashes moved, but it looked like a beautiful landscape shrouded in mist, with a hint of haggardness.
Zhaohui's voice was low and gentle. He brushed Yun Fuyu's falling hair behind her ears, with an imperceptible intimacy in his movements.
"How are you doing lately? I heard you often have nightmares, so I picked a bouquet of flowers to soothe your nerves."
Yun Fuyu shook his head.
"It's fine. I just have trouble sleeping at night, but I'm fine during the day."
Chaohui looked at Yun Fuyu's expression calmly.
His light brows were slightly furrowed, and his dark eyes looked less lively.
Yun Fuyu is lying.
It's obviously not good.
Zhaohui's purpose for this trip was not pure.
According to the plan, he should ask Yun Fuyu to cooperate with him, as a powerful 3S-level foreign aid, to help him purge the Chao family.
Yun Fuyu doesn't like emotional entanglements, but will not reject partners.
In fact, Zhaohui just wanted to separate Yun Fuyu and Adrian and take the opportunity to get close to Yun Fuyu.
But Zhaohui suddenly didn't want to say that anymore.
Putting aside all disguises and plans, Chaohui's fingertips stroked the bangs that were as soft as crow feathers, revealing Yun Fuyu's smooth forehead.
Chaohui held Yun Fuyu's face carefully, as if treating an extremely fragile treasure, with his warm palms pressed against his cold and thin cheeks, and somewhat abruptly kissed his forehead.
They separate as soon as they touch, like light feathers.
"Thanks for your hard work."
Yun Fuyu's eyes widened slightly.
Before he could react, Yun Fuyu looked over Zhaohui's shoulder and saw a figure.
Adrian was like a lonely sculpture, frozen quietly at the door, his feet feeling as if they were filled with lead.
*
...Perhaps Adrian could have foreseen the current situation.
Zhaohui kissed Yun Fuyu on the forehead, and Yun Fuyu did not avoid it.
Yun Fuyu is willing to accept Zhaohui's kiss.
Adrian froze into a statue. The statue's breath was blocked, its heart was gripped. Although it was clearly looking in Yun Fuyu's direction, it was hard to see his eyes clearly.
He didn't have the courage to go up and question.
The answer is already obvious.
He pulled himself up from where he was standing with all his might, his feet as heavy as lead, and turned around mechanically.
Adrian forced himself to leave the door of Yun Fuyu's room.
*
That night, Adrian stood outside Yun Fuyu's bedroom as usual, as if nothing had happened.
Like a big dog with its tail hanging down to the ground, its green eyes followed Yun Fuyu with a dazed look.
Later, he simply stood up and followed Yun Fuyu.
Yun Fuyu turned around: "?"
Black, straight eyelashes conceal the expression in her green eyes.
Adrian had a scent of grass and trees, and a warm air that was blowing towards him.
Yun Fuyu likes cleanliness, so even if Adrian doesn't do anything, he will take a shower before staying with her.
Adrian held Yun Fuyu's hand, placed the medicine bottle in his palm, and said softly:
"Take one pill a day. You might feel sleepier after taking it, but you'll still have nightmares occasionally. Even if the effect is limited, don't take more."
Yun Fuyu lowered his head and looked at the medicine bottle, and Adrian could only see his hairy head.
"Do you have nightmares too?"
Adrien's voice was low.
"Yes. So don't be afraid."
Not only Yun Fuyu had nightmares, Adrian also had nightmares.
But in Adrian's nightmare, Yun Fuyu was gradually weakening.
Adrian slowly lowered his head, wanting to kiss Yun Fuyu's forehead like Zhaohui did.
The overly ambiguous heat is like an embrace, trying to embrace the clouds and rain.
Before the kiss landed on his forehead, Yun Fuyu took a half step back, leaving Adrian's range.
Adrien asked softly, "Why? Do you hate me?"
Yun Fuyu: “….”
I wouldn’t say I hate it.
The old Adrian was indeed annoying.
But now, Yun Fuyu would not allow a disgusting person to stay outside the bedroom door.
Yun Fuyu held the heavy jar of medicine in his palm and didn't know what to say for a moment.
Adrien wanted to smile to lighten the mood, just like Zhaohui would pretend to do.
Be gentler, less aggressive, and please Yun Fu Yu.
But he couldn't laugh.
Adrian stared into those clear black eyes. There was his shadow in them, but his shadow was just a passing visitor, unable to stay in them.
After a long time, Adrian said,
"I see."
It was wrong from the start.
What Yun Fuyu needs is someone who can disguise himself perfectly even when he is disguising himself.
After Adrian met Yun Fuyu, he did a lot of wrong things and therefore received the punishment he deserved.
Zhaohui obviously did better in front of Yun Fuyu.
Adrian opened his mouth and wanted to say sorry to Yun Fuyu.
Do you prefer Zhaohui a little more?
If you move to the Sun Chaser Tower and I don't show up, will you be better?
Will your nightmares stop?
......
Am I something that scares you?
But in the end, Adrian said nothing.
After a long silence, he spoke in a very soft voice, as if he was afraid of disturbing something.
Adrian simply asked:
"Would you like to go to the Sun Chaser Tower and spend some time there?"
Zhaohui is about to take action.
With Yun Fuyu, a 3S-level warrior, around, anyone who wants to assassinate Zhao Hui will have to think twice. Yun Fuyu will provide support for Zhao Hui's complete seizure of power, and he will become Zhao Hui's great benefactor and a true guest of honor in the Chao family.
Adrian seemed to be deceiving himself and only asked Yun Fuyu if she wanted to go out and play for a while.
He knew very well that Yun Fuyu would never come back, but he was unwilling to tell the truth, leaving a little wiggle room, praying that Yun Fuyu was really just embarking on a short journey, and would come back someday when she was tired of playing.
But this is clearly not a journey, it's a farewell.
Those who said goodbye did not have the courage to say goodbye in person, nor did they have the courage to tell the truth.
All his courage was used up when he asked Yun Fuyu this question.
When can Yun Fuyu say that the Fenrir family is "back"?
Yun Fuyu doesn't like this place. There are no memories here that can make him happy.
The person before him made his judgment and nodded.
"......good."
......
Yun Fuyu turned and walked towards the bedroom, closing the door behind him.
He didn't say goodnight and didn't look back.
Adrian was like a sculpture again, unable to make a sound.
He felt extremely regretful and hated himself for asking this question, chewing it over and over again as if torturing himself.
Why is it Zhaohui?
It seems that the one who arrives first is not necessarily the luckiest.
Adrian will also be out first.
I want to stay and support the rain.
He cannot be forced to stay.
But I still want to keep him.
But Yun Fuyu didn't want to stay.
Adrian thought, why can't I keep him?
Why should I consider other people’s feelings?
Fight for what you like and win it back. Defeat your enemy and it will be yours.
You've always done that, haven't you?
If this were a competition, Adrian would have won.
Adrian is level 3S and the only heir of the Fenrir family. He is a leader recognized by everyone in the family. He does not need to try every possible way to deal with the divisive forces within the family like Zhaohui did.
He has countless merits and countless wealth, and can even intervene in the power dispute of the Chao family and find a way to kill Zhao Hui.
But this is not a competition, and Yun Fuyu is not a prize to be won by anyone.
No matter how powerful, influential or strong you are, it’s useless if Yun Fuyu doesn’t like you.
So Adrian gave up the idea of assassinating Zhaohui.
If Zhaohui was killed, Yun Fuyu would hate him.
Yun Fuyu, please don't hate him. Yun Fuyu, please look at him like you look at the morning sun.
If the price of keeping Yun Fuyu is to make her sad, then...
......
Let’s just forget it.
I have done a lot of wrong things. Don’t make Yun Fuyu sad anymore.
*
When leaving, Yun Fuyu stood on the green grass in front of the guild hall and looked back at her former room.
Adrian stood in front of the window, not dodging, but just looking at Yun Fuyu quietly.
Keep looking at Yun Fu Yu.
...Let's watch it for a while longer.
Why was this road so short that Yun Fuyu disappeared around the corner not long after.
Adrian ran to the roof again and looked at Yun Fuyu's figure.
Black Wolf sat beside him.
The man and the wolf were as silent as statues.
Soon, the starship will take off from the other end of the main island, carrying Yun Fuyu to the Sun Chaser Tower.
The sky gradually darkened, and the pink sunset faded and merged into the deep blue night sky.
The sea breeze and waves beat against the shore in waves, the sound was eternal and the same for thousands of years, bitter and futile.
The starship moved farther and farther away until it disappeared from sight.
Adrian looked in the direction where the starship disappeared.
In the night wind, the long tail in the clouds soon disappeared.
Adrien suddenly felt regretful.
At that time, when he was holding the sleeping Yun Fuyu and walking down the green grass of Yunya, the mist wet Yun Fuyu's hair and the small hairs on her cheeks were clearly visible, which made people feel soft in their hearts.
He once wanted to kiss Yun Fuyu secretly.
Why didn’t you kiss at that time?
......so.
This is the end.
*
Adrian secretly revised his second will.
After his death, Yun Fuyu will unconditionally succeed as the next acting head of the Fenrir family for a period of eighty years.
Eighty years, the clouds support the rain for a hundred years.
In fact, Adrian wanted to write about the past two hundred years, because Yun Fuyu, who is one hundred years old, must be very charming and will definitely be noticed by the short-sighted old man. He hoped that by then Chao Zhao, Chao Hui and Xie Huaiyan would have died.
By then, the position of the head of the Fenrir family would give Yun Fuyu enough power to protect himself and prevent him from falling into danger.
......one hundred years old.
I hope he can see Yun Fu Yu who is one hundred years old.
I originally wanted to add some conditions, such as letting Yun Fuyu, the former wife of the head of the family, take on the duties of acting head of the family as a formality.
But Adrian felt that Yun Fuyu would not agree.
If this condition causes Yun Fuyu to face greater risks, then forget it.
Anyway, Adrian will be dead by then, so don't make things difficult for Yun Fuyu.
......
Human love comes in many forms.
But for some black wolves who are not so human, perhaps... love is a hand that you want to hold tightly but then let go.
————————
Lin Jiu has been extremely busy lately.
A strange thing happened some time ago.
There were frequent unusual movements in the contaminated forest area No. 10 in Yuanguta. Everyone thought something was going to go wrong and was on high alert... But before the supporting priest arrived, the unusual movements suddenly disappeared.
Lin Jiu went to check the situation and found that it was not just a matter of disappearance.
Overnight, the broken roots in the contaminated area were even reconnected to the main body of the World Tree. The priest exclaimed that it was a miracle and rushed to investigate overnight.
But until now, no one has found out the reason.
Lin Jiu is an experienced pastor who came from a common family and has been dedicated to the cause of pollution control for fifteen years.
This also means that she just happened to have no chance to see the Son of God.
Because the Son of God was lost fifteen years ago.
Lin Jiu was also curious. Since the Son of God appeared nineteen years ago, when He was lost, He should have at least the appearance of a four-year-old child.
How could the Vatican not know what the Son of God looks like?
…only to be told by her fellow priests that the Son of God had not taken human form before He was lost.
At that time, He was still a small ball of soft light, hanging on the top of the World Tree like a fruit.
——And then it was stolen by the bad guys!
The priests were all so angry that they gnashed their teeth and wished they could dig out the culprit and whip his corpse.
The Holy See has preserved the Seven Towers Oath, and the Zong family covenant was burned, which means that the Zong family must have violated the Seven Towers Oath.
Even without other evidence, this is undeniable.
The clan member who stole the Holy Son was a newly chosen priest.
After arriving at the Vatican, this person used some unknown means to find the direction of the World Tree and stole the Son of God before even undergoing the formal contract ceremony.
Logically speaking, this kind of thing should never happen.
When the World Tree selects a priest, the first and foremost requirement is a pure white soul and firm belief.
Simply put, there are no bad priests.
Therefore, many priests speculated that perhaps this person had been deceived. He probably just took the Son of God away, but had no intention of harming him.
In this case, finding the Son of God is the top priority.
As for how to deal with this person, that is a matter for later.
But something went wrong at this stage.
The connection between the Son of God and the World Tree was severed without warning.
The various families of the Seven Towers seemed to be in a hurry to destroy all evidence. They swiftly sentenced the Zong family for violating the Seven Towers' oath and causing the death of the Holy Son, and carried out a major purge of the Zong family.
As a result, there is no clue left to investigate.
The Holy See saved all the priests who came from the Yunya Tower clan, but none of the priests could accept the way the Seven Towers Council dealt with the clan.
From the perspective of the Holy See, any of the forces in the Seven Towers could be an accomplice in stealing the Son of God.
The Seven Towers Council openly punished the oath-breakers, but in reality, other families might have been indirectly involved in the matter, so they were eager to distance themselves from the matter and clear themselves of all charges.
......Since then, the relationship between the Holy See and the Seven Towers has almost broken down, and conflicts have also emerged within the Holy See.
Before this, everyone believed that the soul-level contract was indestructible and that priests and pastors were the most reliable partners.
But after this incident, all the priests realized that there might be loopholes in the "contract" that could be exploited.
Doubt is the most terrible thing, especially for a companion who needs to be trusted.
After the Son of God disappeared, the Holy See made every effort to search for him, which lasted for five or six years.
But this will limit the manpower available to clean up the pollution.
In the bishop's heart, finding the Son of God is the most important thing.
However, some priests believed that if the Seven Towers were destroyed after the Son was recovered, how would they explain this to the Son? It would be better to return to normalcy and slowly search for the Son's whereabouts while clearing the pollution.
The bishop became anxious and said that love is not a child that you have watched grow up since childhood, so how could you not feel sorry for him?
The priest said, "I know you're anxious, but that's the Holy Son! How could the World Tree not react if the Holy Son were killed? The Holy Son is likely just stranded somewhere and shouldn't be in any physical danger."
The bishop and the priests parted on bad terms.
They couldn't argue any more. The Church had lost its core by losing its Son of God, and if they continued arguing, the priests would only question each other's positions.
Questioning means division, which is of no benefit to the Holy See.
Until now, the Holy See has been searching for the trace of the Son of God.
Since last year, the abnormal movements of the World Tree's roots have become more and more frequent.
The Council of Seven Towers did not know the reason, but the priests did.
——The World Tree is moving.
The Holy See and the body of the World Tree exist in the same space, an alien space that is in a superposition state with the real world.
As long as the World Tree moves, the Church will move with it.
The World Tree seemed to be chasing something. Sometimes, when the priests had just returned to the Vatican to report and wanted to leave, they were already on another planet.
Without the Son of God, the bishops and priests could not communicate directly with the World Tree.
They speculated that perhaps the World Tree had sensed the presence of the Son of God.
Therefore, tracking the trajectory of the World Tree became the responsibility of some priests.
Lin Jiu is one of them.
She has been following the World Tree for so many days, but she can't find any clues.
A few days ago, the principal of the First Military Academy of Central Star reported a situation to the Holy See, saying that one day in the middle of the night, the students woke up at the same time for unknown reasons.
Lin Jiu made a special trip to the main island of the military academy...but he couldn't find anything!
She speculated that it might be because the World Tree moved to the central star at that time, causing the students with more sensitive mental powers to collectively feel the movement, which led to their reaction.
But the World Tree soon moved to another place, so the movement did not last long.
Lin Jiu was completely confused. In the end, he just cleansed himself up in the military academy and then left the main island in a daze.
