The boy he once held in his arms and cherished seemed to have grown distant from him.
Even when asked such a question, she would only tug at his sleeve, so cautiously.
"No, no, none of that will happen." Lian Zhan reached out, instinctively wanting to wipe away Lu You's tears, but his thumb was covered in blood.
It was blood that had been soaked in the extremely cold water that Lu Fenglin had thrown in.
If he could, he wouldn't want to go against Lu Fenglin for Youyou's sake, but he found out about this too late.
His companions had already been slaughtered by Lu Fenglin using the rules of the world, and he was too late to escape.
As if suddenly embarrassed, Lian Zhan hurriedly lowered his head and painstakingly found a small piece of cloth that was not stained with blood on his tattered clothes to wipe his thumb clean.
Only then did she carefully touch the corner of Youyou's eye.
The tears were icy cold, and before he could even feel the pain, the angels had already led Lu Fenglin out.
Lu You hurriedly turned around to look, and he heard Lu Fenglin say, "Dad made a mistake and needs to make amends. You stay home with your brother and wait for Dad to come back."
After saying that, he was completely taken away from the room.
Lu You was unaware that Si Jin was manipulating Lu Fenglin to "speak," and his eyes only became redder after Lu Fenglin left.
He wasn't saddened by the parting, but... after many years of doubt, heartbreak, and confusion, today, a cruel and heartbreaking outcome finally arrived, bringing him to tears.
Lu You didn't loosen his grip on Lian Zhan's clothes—he wasn't very good at talking, but he wasn't stupid, and he could see the relationship between Brother Zhan and those angels.
Brother took Brother's sword simply to cheer him up.
As long as Zhan Ge didn't say anything, he thought that perhaps he could deceive himself first and then slowly figure out the whole thing.
But after a short while, one of the angels turned around and asked Lian Zhan, "Boss, the mission is complete, why aren't you leaving yet?"
Lu You was startled, and his hand gripping Lian Zhan's clothes tightened suddenly, but after a moment, he slowly let go.
His complexion was terribly pale, and he stood motionless in place.
Lian Zhan chased away the ungrateful angel and remained in the same position, without saying a word.
The silence was oppressive, making it hard to breathe.
Si Jin came out, pushed open the door, and drew back the curtains to let the sunlight in.
The strange tales of rules disappeared, the black mist dispersed, and when the bright sun shone down, it seemed as if the whole world was warm.
"Why isn't anyone saying anything? Look, it looks much better when the sunlight shines in, doesn't it?"
"Oh, right." Si Jin glanced at Nie Linyuan, "I'm a little hungry. Are there any restaurants near your place? I'd like to grab something to eat."
"Oh, yes." Nie Linyuan responded, then quickly walked to Si Jin's side, habitually putting his arm around her waist. Just as he was about to leave, he heard Lu You call out, "Brother..."
Nie Linyuan turned his head and saw the boy struggling to hold back his tears, choking out, "I...I'm hungry too, take...take me with you."
Dad is fine, and Zhan Ge didn't do anything wrong. He doesn't want Zhan Ge; he just needs time, he just needs to find a corner to hide in and process all this information little by little.
Just once, just once.
Nie Linyuan opened his mouth, about to agree, when he realized that Si Jin had removed his hand from his slender waist.
Nie Linyuan paused for a moment, then saw Si Jin extend her hand to Lu You beside him: "Then... let's go together."
