Chapter 538 Extra Chapter: Nothing Left Unfinished (Twenty-Six)
Upon seeing Wu Na's complicated expression, Lu Pei Ran instantly snapped out of his daze.
There are some things he can say when he's drunk, but once he's sober, he simply can't say them anymore.
After a long while, looking at Liao Wu's blank and shocked face, Lu Pei Ran felt as if fine silver needles were slowly piercing his heart, and he began to ache.
He forced a smile, unaware that it was an even uglier smile than a cry.
"Senior... Senior Brother... I... I drank too much just now, I'm so sorry..."
Looking at his pale and ugly face, Liao Wu felt a pang of heartache, but she was still shocked by what he had just said and didn't respond for a moment.
Seeing him like this, Lu Peiran's expression became even more heartbroken. "I'm sorry..."
Liao Wu opened his mouth but made no sound. After a long while, he finally gave a hesitant reply.
"No...it's nothing...maybe this is just what people call drunken ramblings..."
Lu Peiran's face was pale, but he still managed a forced smile, "Yes...yes..."
Liao Wuxin's strange expression deepened, and he even seemed to be losing control. He clenched his fists. "Then... Junior Brother, you should rest first. I'll be leaving now."
Lu Peiran nodded weakly, "Yes..."
He took a deep breath and hurriedly left his room.
After Liao Wu left, Lu Peiran stared blankly in the direction he had gone, feeling an indescribable despair and sorrow in her heart.
Before he spoke out, he always thought that if he could tell his senior brother his feelings.
So, how will the senior brother react, and how should he smooth things over?
Today's situation was exactly what he had anticipated, and he had already rehearsed his excuses a thousand times in his mind.
However, contrary to expectations, he couldn't utter a single word to smooth things over.
He felt an even greater pain than suffocation and fear, which was almost overwhelming him...
It was never going to be possible between him and his senior brother; he forced it.
Originally, if he could hide his feelings, they would be fellow disciples forever, and Lu Peiran believed he could do it.
However, the longer he spent with his senior brother, the more his idea wavered.
The suppressed emotions in his heart grew stronger day by day, and finally, today, they all erupted after he had been drinking…
Lu Peiran couldn't help but shed tears, burying herself between her knees.
How will he face everything tomorrow...?
Inside the door, Lu Peiran was heartbroken, and outside, Liao Wuxin was equally distressed.
He already understood his junior brother's feelings, but what about his own?
She recalled the whole process of meeting and getting to know Lu Peiran with a blank expression, her heart filled with complex emotions.
To be honest, did he really not have any unusual feelings for his junior brother?
He knew perfectly well that his junior brother was different from everyone else...
I always feel good when I'm with my junior brother. I can't help but smile at him and remember every single one of his expressions...
When his junior brother wasn't around, he would often think of him and feel a little empty inside.
Along the way, his heart was filled with joy and happiness every day, and he always thought that he would walk with his junior brother like this forever.
Is this the same as liking someone?
If this is what love is like in this world, then...
He did indeed like his junior brother.
Thinking of this, Liao Wuxin was shocked; he had broken the rules!
It felt as if someone was pounding a drum in my heart, and I felt dizzy and disoriented.
It was at this moment that he remembered the brocade pouch his master had given him before he left the mountain.
He returned to his room without any panic, a first in his life when he had lost his composure like this.
After returning to his room, he rummaged through the deepest part of his luggage and found the brocade pouch.
Looking at the small brocade pouch wrapped in yellow silk, Liao Wu took a deep breath.
"Master, if you could have foreseen this, please tell your disciple what I should do..."
With a trembling voice, Liao Wu uttered these words, then slowly opened the brocade pouch. Inside was a yellowed slip of paper.
After reading the words written on it, Liao Wu slumped to the ground in despair...
The next morning, after a fierce internal struggle, Lu Peiran finally came out of his room.
The first thing he saw when he stepped out of the room was Liao Wu standing in the courtyard.
Contrary to his expectations of aloofness and indifference, Liao Wu still wore a faint smile on his face.
Seeing his expression, Lu Peiran couldn't help but relax a little, but still couldn't help but call out tentatively, "Senior Brother..."
Liao Wu nodded. "Junior brother, you're awake!"
Seeing Wu's unchanging attitude, Lu Peiran felt reassured. Pretending nothing had happened, she smiled and walked to his side as usual.
"Senior brother, where should we go today?"
Although the two of them pretended to be completely at ease, what happened last night was real.
And those two people know it best in their hearts...
