Chapter 19 "Lu Yu, do you think it's dark?"
………
Lu Yu coldly looked at the person in front of him, slightly raised his chin, and his expression was arrogant and domineering.
He responded to such remarks with a nonchalant sneer: "So what?"
"Haha ...
He rushed forward and grabbed Lu Yu by the collar, roaring, "You think you're worthy of liking someone else? You're not worthy! Xia Yueyi liked you so much back then, and what did you do in return!"
Lu Yu had always disliked being provoked and acted recklessly, and Meng Xi's whereabouts were unknown. He was already on the verge of exploding with impatience.
The instant Shen Kangsheng's hand reached out in front of him.
His anger flared instantly, and he punched Shen Kangsheng hard in the face, knocking him to the ground, spitting blood from his mouth.
He glanced around at the people around him; almost everyone was holding a weapon. There were more than a dozen people in two groups, surrounding him in the middle.
"I'll ask you the last time, where's Meng Xi?"
Shen Kangsheng staggered to his feet, then charged forward again, his eyes red, roaring, "I just told you about Xia Yueyi, why didn't you say anything? You're guilty, aren't you?! You're guilty! You've wronged her, but you're too afraid to mention it!"
Lu Yu grabbed his collar without hesitation and punched him in the right cheek again, his eyes fierce and cold: "I don't remember who Xia Yueyi is."
He gritted his teeth and said, word by word, "I'll ask you one last time, where is Meng Xi?"
Shen Kangsheng gave an extremely vicious laugh, revealing a mouthful of bloody teeth, and said lightly, "Meng Xi, she was just hit by a car and died."
That very night, Xia Yueyi insisted on getting back together with him despite his attempts to dissuade her.
She knew perfectly well how much he loved her, and she knew perfectly well that Lu Yu didn't care about her at all, but she still went.
After Lu Yu rejected her once again and threw away the things she had brought him.
Xia Yueyi ran away crying, walking dejectedly down the street.
Then he was hit by a speeding truck and thrown more than ten meters away before crashing to the ground, splattering blood everywhere.
He died on the spot.
Shen Kangsheng, who was not far behind her, witnessed all of this. Regret, self-blame, and anger at his powerlessness almost consumed him.
If you didn't like her, why did you get together with Xia Yueyi in the first place?
Why was he so good to Xia Yueyi, giving her whatever she wanted, and then cruelly broke up with her in the end?
Just because you're tired of it?
Shen Kangsheng roared hatefully in his mind.
Why not cherish what you have? Why treat other people's kindness as nothing?!
Just because he's the young master of the Lu family, just because his family is rich?!
From that moment on, he secretly vowed that he would make Lu Yu taste the feeling of his beloved woman lying in front of him covered in blood.
Unfortunately, despite all his calculations, he never expected that Meng Xi and Lu Yu would live together.
It doesn't matter……
If that doesn't work, then I'll send you down to keep Yueyi company...
Shen Kangsheng waved his hand, his eyes red, and roared, "Attack!"
The group exchanged glances and swarmed forward.
They immediately engaged in a fierce battle.
...
The stars hung low, and the night was as gentle as water.
Suddenly, a night breeze blew by, seemingly carrying the sweet and pungent smell of blood.
In the rose bushes, Lu Yu lay covered in blood, his consciousness gradually fading.
The surrounding sounds receded like the tide.
All I could hear were the chirping of crickets and the whistling of the mountain wind.
He struggled to open his eyes.
The round moon hung in the sky, bright and clear as jade, cool and gentle.
Trying to move even slightly, I felt a dense, persistent pain throughout my body, so intense that I could no longer feel it intensely.
Lu Yu's blood-stained face twitched slightly, and he chuckled softly.
He looked up at the moon, a rare tenderness appearing on his usually arrogant and aloof face.
If it were for Meng Xi's sake, he would die.
That's not bad.
-
When Meng Xi and Song Siyu went to the back alley, it was deserted. It seemed that the city management officers had come today, and the vendors had disappeared without a trace.
Song Siyu looked disappointed. Meng Xi comforted her for a few words and promised to accompany her another day.
The two then went home separately.
After taking the night bus, which was even less crowded, Meng Xi made it back to the bus stop near Lu's house without any problems. She walked slowly under the streetlights.
The Lu family's villa area is entirely uphill, with a smooth asphalt road and carefully cultivated shrubs and roses enclosed by fences on both sides.
This villa area is quiet and sparsely populated.
As Meng Xi walked forward, she could see the moon with just a slight tilt of her head.
After walking a few steps, a light rain began to fall from the sky, and soon after, a loud bang was heard in the sky, followed by a torrential downpour.
Meng Xi hadn't brought an umbrella, so she hurriedly ran up the gentle slope, covering her head. Under the illumination of the streetlights on both sides, the scene ahead was particularly alarming.
Large pools of reddish-brown blood were scattered on the ground, the specks mingling with the rainwater to form a reddish hue, resembling a pool of blood.
It's terrifying to watch.
She covered her mouth tightly, almost screaming, and was about to run home when...
But then they saw what appeared to be a person in the bushes nearby.
The heavy rain obscured her vision, making it difficult to see clearly.
Meng Xi's heart was pounding so hard it felt like it was going to jump out of her throat.
Is it someone who is seriously injured...?
She walked over quietly and squatted down, stretching out her slender arm, intending to check on his condition by the light of the roadside lamp.
The moment Meng Xi parted the wet cloth and saw his face, her heart skipped a beat and clenched tightly.
It's Lu Yu...
How could it be Lu Yu...?
Meng Xi's tears immediately streamed down her face, dripping onto Lu Yu's arm with the raindrops.
She didn't know what to do, and she didn't have a phone to call for help. What could she do?
At this moment, Lu Yu seemed to sense something and forced himself to open his eyes a crack.
Upon seeing that it was Meng Xi, the corners of her mouth twitched slightly, and her voice was barely audible, drowned out by the wind and rain: "Let's go home."
Meng Xi stared intently at Lu Yu's expression, afraid of missing a single detail, and guessed from his lip movements that he was saying "go home." Her nose stung, and she cried even harder.
Her sobbing voice was soft and lingering, and her trembling voice made Lu Yu's heart ache.
"Let's go home. Lu Yu, you have to hold on. I'll get someone to take you to the hospital as soon as I get home..."
She carefully helped Lu Yu up and placed him on her thin back, walking home with great caution and difficulty.
The distance, though not long, felt exceptionally long at that moment.
Meng Xi was short and weak, while Lu Yu, though thin, was tall and imposing, pressing down on her almost completely enveloping her, making it very difficult for her to walk.
Lu Yu's blood was still dripping down, following Meng Xi's steps, each drop falling onto the path he had come from.
Scattered in the heavy rain, leaving no trace.
The rain is getting heavier.
The night grew darker.
Meng Xi finally managed to bring the injured Lu Yu back home, but Gu Bo was nowhere to be found.
She carefully moved him to the living room and laid him down, then went back to the room to get her phone, towel, and blanket to dry Lu Yu's hair and covered him with the blanket.
Uncle Gu's phone was switched off.
Aunt Xu's phone is busy.
Meng Xi felt a wave of despair.
Why now of all times...?
She dialed 120 and heard Lu Yu behind her say in a hoarse voice, "Meng Xi..."
Meng Xi immediately turned around and squatted down beside him, asking in a trembling voice, "What's wrong, Lu Yu? Can you still hold on...?"
Lu Yu forced himself to open his eyes and looked at Meng Xi, whose face was covered in tears, but his eyes were filled with love.
He was covered in blood, but she was safe and sound.
value.
He breathed softly in her ear, his broken breaths carrying the pungent smell of blood: "Thank you."
I was able to protect you, and in the end, you rescued me and brought me home.
I feel incredibly fortunate.
This is the most meaningful thing he has done in the past eighteen years.
After saying this, Lu Yu fainted again.
Upon hearing that it was the Lu family, the hospital immediately dispatched the Lu family's private doctor and team to their home.
They carried Lu Yu back to his private treatment room at the Lu family home, where he underwent various examinations and diagnoses.
Fortunately, the injuries were all superficial, and the internal injuries were not serious.
He had a mild concussion, a fractured left forearm, and was still running a fever.
Due to excessive blood loss and the torrential rain, Lu Yu was still in a daze.
They worked until 3 a.m., and Lu Yu's wounds were all treated and bandaged. His fever gradually subsided.
Lu Yu's physical condition is quite good, and he recovers quickly because he is young.
After the doctor gave Meng Xi some instructions, he left one doctor on duty at the Lu family home before the rest of the doctors left.
Inside the ward, Meng Xi dared not leave Lu Yu for a moment.
I was afraid that something might happen to him if I wasn't careful.
I changed the heat sink every now and then, and tucked the blanket around him from time to time.
About an hour passed quietly before Lu Yu woke up.
He looked at Meng Xi, who was sitting on the edge of his bed despite her haggard face. Her fair and beautiful profile was slightly leaning against his pillow, and her hair was still a little damp from the rain. She was sleeping peacefully and quietly.
Lu Yu's throat moved slightly, and his eyes instantly became intense and burning.
For a fleeting moment, he even considered breaking his previous decision.
No more forbearance, no more treating each other as friends, no more watching from afar.
He wanted to have her, to protect her, to...possess her.
Meng Xi is so wonderful.
It is so beautiful that one dares not defile it, yet so beautiful that one longs to be deeply tainted by it, to be dragged into an endless abyss and possessed completely.
Lu Yu could barely control his irrational thoughts, which kept clamoring in his mind.
Just as he was about to speak, Meng Xi's butterfly-like eyelashes trembled slightly; she had woken up.
Then she looked at him with concern and asked anxiously, "Lu Yu, you're awake. Are you feeling any better?"
Her voice was gentle and soothing, and Lu Yu's heart skipped a beat. He pursed his lips and remained silent, staring intently into her excessively beautiful eyes.
They tried to find even the slightest thing in it besides concern.
But.
There was nothing there.
Lu Yu was instantly distraught.
All the impulse vanished.
Meng Xi saw only beauty in everything.
He was the only one missing.
He suppressed his immense disappointment, his expression remaining as calm and indifferent as ever: "It's nothing."
Hearing this, Meng Xi breathed a sigh of relief and finally smiled: "It's good that you're alright."
Lu Yu remained silent.
When Meng Xi saw him turn his head away, she suddenly felt a tremor in her heart.
It's like I've missed something...
What could it be...?
The two of them fell silent.
The rain was still pouring down outside, and the lights in the ward were dim so that Lu Yu could rest in peace.
Looking at the vulnerable Lu Yu, Meng Xi suddenly remembered what Aunt Xu had said: Lu Yu was most afraid of the dark when he was a child.
What about now?
Is Lu Yu still afraid now?
Meng Xi mustered her courage and spoke softly, gently tugging at the corner of his blanket. Her voice was light and sweet, like a peeled lychee, and carried the warmth of a spring breeze.
"Lu Yu, do you think it's dark?"
She gently took his hand, their warm palms touching, and Lu Yu's heart trembled violently.
"I'm here, you can go to sleep now."
