Chapter 14 Li Mingyuan
Ruan Xingfeng stayed in the hospital for two months. Liao Feng came every day, but the two of them never spoke to each other properly.
Xu Nuoyan also came over under the pretext of making rounds. Seeing how awkward they were, he was even more anxious than they were. Liao Feng had finally met such a suitable person, and he didn't want Liao Feng to miss it, but this silly lion just wouldn't listen.
Ruan Xingfeng was discharged from the hospital and continued to go to school. The relationship between the two became more strained. Liao Feng came home less and less often. Even if the two of them slept in the same bed, they still would not talk to each other and they no longer had the intimacy they had in the past.
Because the doctor also said that they could not have sexual intercourse for three months after being discharged from the hospital, Liao Feng had no such desire for him, and the two of them seemed to have basically stopped chatting.
When their relationship was at its most strained, the person who gave Xu Nuoyan the most headaches came back—Li Mingyuan, Liao Feng's first love and the person he loved most, Bai Yueguang.
When Xu Nuoyan saw him, he thought he had seen a ghost, but there were so many people at the airport, and he couldn't see a ghost in broad daylight.
Xu Nuoyan: "Aren't you dead?" Looking at the man who had long lost his youthfulness, he really had a headache. Li Mingyuan was speechless when he heard his question.
Li Mingyuan: "Xu Nuoyan, please speak nicely. When did I die?" He threw his coat to Xu Nuoyan and walked out of the airport pushing his suitcase.
Although Xu Nuoyan was shocked, he still opened the car door for him. Xu Nuoyan: "Why did you come back?" He looked at the person in the back seat while driving.
Li Mingyuan's eyes were red as soon as he got in the car. Xu Nuoyan felt bad seeing him crying, so he parked the car aside and sat in the back seat to hand him paper.
Xu Nuoyan: "What's wrong? Who bullied you, the young master of the Li family?" He didn't have a good impression of Li Mingyuan because he had always been the first in his class since they entered high school.
Li Mingyuan: "I have been away from China for 8 years. I wonder what happened to my motherland?" He wiped his tears with paper and retorted to Xu Nuoyan's words.
Xu Nuoyan: "Of course, you can." He paused for a moment and continued: "But four years ago, they said you encountered an avalanche. How come you are so lucky that even the avalanche didn't kill you?" He was still glad that Li Mingyuan survived. After all, they were still friends.
Li Mingyuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry when he heard his words, but he also knew that wasn't what he meant. Li Mingyuan said, "Yes, I'm lucky. The avalanche didn't kill me, and it also helped me get rid of all my health problems. That so-called curse that Li boys can't live past 30, we four children of the Li family can defeat it."
Xu Nuoyan's eyes lit up when he heard this. This sickly kid is getting better? During that time in high school, he couldn't even run. His body was so weak.
Li Mingyuan: "Are you surprised? My eldest brother has a way to deal with everything. He asked my second brother to develop a medicine and gave it to Brother Xiao. I was not with them during that time." Xu Nuoyan understood some things after listening to him.
Xu Nuoyan: "But I'm really curious about how the second brother survived? The eldest brother isn't from the Li family, so what happened to you? The three of you have Gu in your bodies, so did you use that medicine to cure it?"
He was very curious now. They had known each other for a long time, so he called his brothers the same way as Li Mingyuan. Li Mingyuan nodded and continued: "My second brother survived because the Gu in his body was in my brother Xiao, and mine was also in him." Xu Nuoyan was stunned after hearing this.
No wonder Li Mingxiao always looks sick and has difficulty speaking. He has to bear the pain of three people alone. No wonder he always faints from the pain. When he was a child, Li Mingxiao was very weak. Now, hearing him say this, it turns out that the person who looks the weakest has borne the most.
Xu Nuoyan: "Brother Xiao...he..." He didn't know what to say at all. His mind was full of the person with long light blue hair, who was so white that it was sickly white and so beautiful that it was difficult to tell whether he was a man or a woman.
Li Mingyuan: "After the Gu in his body was gone, he no longer felt so much pain. My minor illness was also cured by the person who saved me. We are all doing well. It's a pity that my second brother's heart disease can't be cured."
Xu Nuoyan was silent for too long, and Li Mingyuan also remembered his brother's weak appearance. Xu Nuoyan: "Oh, I'll go with you when you go back. I want to see them." He took a deep breath and sat back in the driver's seat. Li Mingyuan nodded and said nothing more.
Xu Nuoyan took him to Song Xuexi's villa. His own house was not suitable, after all, Li Mingyuan was the younger brother of Ran Yian's ex-boyfriend.
Li Mingyuan: "How are you three doing? Is Liao Feng out of prison? Have you succeeded in pursuing Brother An? The news that Xue Xi is the vice president has reached me, and she is still as powerful as ever," he asked while sitting on the sofa and chewing an apple.
Xu Nuoyan nodded: "Well, he got out a long time ago and is now the chairman of Chuangyu Group. I also became the director of thoracic surgery as I wished, and I also got An Ge." He summarized everything in one or two sentences.
Li Mingyuan: "Liao Feng's life was really full of regrets. He fell ill during the college entrance examination and missed two exams. His total score was only over 500. At the age of 20, he was imprisoned for a non-existent crime." As he spoke, he thought of Liao Feng's appearance at the time, embarrassed and incredulous, and finally he pleaded guilty and was imprisoned indifferently.
Xu Nuoyan: "Did you forget to tell me that he was 20 years old and you dumped him?" Thinking of this, he looked at Li Mingyuan with murderous eyes. Li Mingyuan lowered his head and said nothing.
Xu Nuoyan: "I'm going to tell you something you don't know. He had his left eye gouged out when he was 22 years old. They beat him half to death before letting him out. Later, the Lion Tribe decided to expel him from the tribe because he was incontinent and cried a lot. The eye he replaced later also failed. Now he can only see with one eye."
After Xu Nuoyan finished speaking, his face was covered with blood. He grabbed the cup on the coffee table and drank the water in it as if it were wine. Li Mingyuan was speechless after hearing this. He thought that if he left, Liao Feng would be able to live well.
Li Mingyuan: "What about now? Is he okay?" He was worried about Liao Feng's health. Xu Nuoyan shook his head and replied that he still had the same old problem. Li Mingyuan's eyes dimmed.
Xu Nuoyan: "Let's not talk about us anymore. Tell me how you're doing alone in a foreign country." Li Mingyuan took a sip of warm water, licked his canine teeth, and thought about how to answer.
Li Mingyuan: "When I got on the plane, I realized that I bought the wrong ticket. It was not a ticket to Wenyuan, but I was pleasantly surprised to find that I had bought my favorite place, Elf, a country where it is like winter all year round." When he talked about this, his eyes were shining. He has loved snow and cold winter since he was a child.
Xu Nuoyan nodded and motioned him to continue. Li Mingyuan: "I lived very well there. I didn't want to go to my brothers. They also wanted me to be happier, so they didn't let me come back. Later, I encountered the avalanche you know. I really thought I would die at that time, but I didn't die. I lost my memory and was rescued by a man. He was good at treatment and I don't know what special power he used to cure my voice problem." After saying so much, he felt a little tired, took a sip of water and rested for a while.
Xu Nuoyan must have thought of what happened next. He looked up at him and asked, "Are you with him? Because you don't remember anything?" He didn't dare to imagine how devastated Liao Feng would be if he was here.
Li Mingyuan nodded and spoke again: "We were together. He treated me very well, but only for a period of time before I got better. But after I got better, he started to have affairs outside. The worst time was when he kicked me out of the house because of a little boy outside. It was snowing heavily outside that day, and I was only wearing thin pajamas. And that was afterward. His lover saw us sleeping together and fainted from the shock. So he kicked me out."
After hearing this, Xu Nuoyan's first reaction was that Li Mingyuan was talking nonsense. With Li Mingyuan's arrogant temperament, how could he be bullied? But seeing Li Mingyuan's red eyes, he chose to believe it.
Xu Nuoyan: "Do your brothers know? When did you recover your memory?" He didn't want to mention that inhuman thing anymore. He thought Liao Feng was not a human, and now he heard that he was even less of a human.
Li Mingyuan: "I didn't tell them. I just recovered my memory a while ago, so I recalled it now. That incident happened last year. I don't know why I forgave him at that time. Forgive him for all the insults and harm he had done to me."
He couldn't help crying when he said this. The greatest grievance he suffered was also caused by that man. He had never suffered any grievance in his life before he was 20 years old. He was protected and spoiled by his brothers, so it was impossible for him to be kicked out of the house.
Xu Nuoyan: "Fuck, how dare he do this to you? Tell me who it is and I'll cripple him. Fuck." The more he thought about it, the angrier he got. This young master Li Mingyuan couldn't even run away. They were the ones who took the bath on his behalf, and now he refuses to drink cold water or hot water. He only gives it to him after the water is at the right temperature. Why does that man bully him like this?
Li Mingyuan: "No need, it's all over, but I don't know what to do now." He lowered his head and hugged his neck with his hands.
Xu Nuoyan: "Are you talking about relationship problems?"
Li Mingyuan nodded, looked up and said with a sob: "I'm sorry Liao Feng, I left because I really thought I was going to die, but I didn't die, instead so many things happened." Xu Nuoyan also fell silent, he didn't know what to do.
The air fell silent again. When Song Xuexi returned home and saw Li Mingyuan, her eyes lit up. She did not notice the depressing atmosphere and ran over to hug him. Song Xuexi: "A Yuan, you're back." Li Mingyuan raised his head and saw Song Xuexi. His mood instantly improved. Song Xuexi was simply a happy person.
Li Mingyuan: "Xuexi, you have grown taller and become more and more beautiful." He would hug Song Xuexi and praise her.
Song Xuexi: "Of course, I'm 1.8 meters tall now," she said proudly. Li Mingyuan looked at her with surprise.
Li Mingyuan: "Wow, you are amazing. Girls change a lot when they grow up. You are getting more and more beautiful." Song Xuexi felt a little embarrassed by what he said.
The two of them sat together and chatted for a long time. The whole living room was filled with laughter. Only Xu Nuoyan sat aside, as quiet as a sculpture. The atmosphere was very dull.
Song Xuexi: "Liao Feng, isn't he coming over?" As soon as this name came out, the smile on Li Mingyuan's face froze. The two of them looked at Xu Nuoyan and asked him with their eyes.
Xu Nuoyan: "I don't know how to tell him. We have a high school reunion in a few days, so it's natural to meet on that day." He felt that what he said made sense. Li Mingyuan was not mentally prepared to meet Liao Feng now, otherwise he would not have called Xu Nuoyan.
On the other side, Ruan Xingfeng and Liao Feng hugged each other again for a rare occasion. Because it rained today, Liao Feng felt very uncomfortable and curled up on the bed. No matter how disappointed Ruan Xingfeng was with him, he couldn't bear to see him so uncomfortable, so he hugged him tightly.
Liao Feng was most likely to talk nonsense at times like this. He could control himself when drunk, but not in this weak state. Liao Feng: "I thought about apologizing to you, but I don't know what to apologize for. I should apologize for being rude to you, but I can't understand why you treat me as a substitute. Your dependence on me and your kindness to me are just because you treat me as a substitute?"
Ruan Xingfeng chose not to answer his questions, it was too meaningless.
The day of the class reunion was very lively. The senior class (1) of Xingquan Affiliated Middle School was just like what people joked about. All 30 students were big shots. They were either rich or noble when they got together.
Li Mingyuan, who was always absent in previous years, also walked in wearing a suit and smiling as sweet as spring breeze. Liao Feng was still sitting there absent-mindedly, but the moment he saw Li Mingyuan, his mentality collapsed. He looked at Xu Nuoyan beside him in disbelief, and then he understood why Xu Nuoyan gave him reassurance before coming here.
At least he listened to the advice and ate it. If he hadn't eaten it, he felt he would have fainted. But his condition was not good now. His vision began to blur, and his eyes were filled with tears and blood. Xu Nuoyan noticed that something was wrong with him and immediately gave him a reassurance pill.
Li Mingyuan stopped greeting others and ran to him to support him. Li Mingyuan said: "Sorry everyone, Liao Feng and I will leave first." After that, he took Liao Feng away. The rest of the people did not notice Liao Feng's situation, it was just because their old love was rekindled. After all, the whole school knew about their relationship at that time.
Outside the door, Liao Feng's condition had stabilized a lot under the effect of the medicine. There were only two of them on the balcony. The night wind was a bit cold, but Liao Feng could not feel anything now.
Liao Feng: "A Yuan?" His voice was hoarse and his throat hurt as if he was going to vomit blood in the next second. Li Mingyuan nodded and walked over to hug his waist and buried his head in his chest. Liao Feng didn't have the courage to hug him back. No matter how real this feeling was, he didn't dare to believe it. He had dreamed of this scene countless times and he was afraid that this was just a dream.
Li Mingyuan stretched out his hand to touch Liao Feng's left eye, but Liao Feng dodged it. Li Mingyuan's hand stopped in the air and he just looked at him with tears in his eyes. Liao Feng: "It's ugly, right?" He covered his face and took a step back.
Li Mingyuan reached out and pulled his hand to put it on his face. Li Mingyuan: "Not ugly, you look as good as before. You look more handsome now than before." He really said it from the bottom of his heart. Liao Feng looks very handsome now, but he is more fierce than before.
Liao Feng didn't say anything else. He took his hand down and interlocked their fingers. Liao Feng: "I'll take you somewhere." Li Mingyuan nodded and followed him downstairs and into the car.
