Chapter 69 Ah Ci, I'm sorry...
"Let me go, I want to save A Ci!"
The wind at the beach was so strong that it blew Lu Shiyan's heart into pieces. He was overwhelmed with grief and he didn't dare to fall down even though he was exhausted.
A Ci was still waiting for him. The sea water was very cold and he was seriously injured.
"Ayan, calm down."
Lu Shiyan has always been calm, restrained and patient. This is the first time that Gu Yian has seen him lose control of his emotions and act so recklessly.
"Let me go!" Lu Shiyan growled, "Aci is still waiting for me."
Gu Yian didn't dare to let go. He knew that if he did, Lu Shiyan would definitely jump down without a care in the world. "The bodyguards have already jumped down, and Li Yan has also contacted a professional rescue team. It won't help if you jump down!"
After dodging Lu Shiyan's punch, seeing that he was determined to do what he wanted, Gu Yian had no choice but to take emergency measures. He took advantage of Lu Shiyan's unpreparedness and raised his hand to strike him hard on the back of the neck with a palm.
Until the moment he collapsed, Lu Shiyan's eyes were filled with uncontrollable sadness and regret.
Gu Yian's heart sank suddenly. Since when did A Yan's feelings for Fu Ci become so deep?
"Aci!"
Lu Shiyan suddenly woke up from his coma. Looking at the room that was so familiar that it couldn't be more familiar, his breathing stagnated slightly. The resolute look on Fu Ci's face when he fell into the sea kept emerging in his mind.
An indescribable sadness instantly overwhelmed him, and his heart ached dully, as if the most important part of his life had been forcibly stripped away.
He got out of bed and ran barefoot to Fu Ci's room, but the room was empty.
He hurried downstairs again, but just after walking down a few steps, he heard the voices of Mr. Lu and Lu Yanzhou talking.
Mr. Lu asked in a deep voice, "Hasn't anyone been found yet?"
"The rescue team has been searching for a whole night, but they only found the body of the kid from the Shen family. Ah Ci... hasn't been found yet." Lu Yanzhou's voice was hoarse and difficult, and he looked several years older in an instant.
Mrs. Lu wiped the moisture from the corners of her eyes and said in a choked voice, "In the final analysis, it is our family that has let down that child, Ah Ci."
"Back then, when we were about to marry into the Huo family, you stubbornly refused, saying you had someone you loved. We wanted to respect your choice, but the Huo family suffered a heavy blow, leaving only Yanxin and a little nephew to support the Huo family."
"In order for our Lu family to fulfill the engagement and help the Huo family overcome difficulties, Yanxin drugged you to make you pregnant with A-Yan."
"Our Lu family would never do such a treacherous thing. You can only break up with Aci's mother, and Aci's mother will leave home."
"And you and Yanxin were not happy even after your marriage."
"She always felt guilty for using such means to separate you and Aci's mother. She lived in regret every day, which is why she became ill and passed away so early."
"It's a pity that Ayan didn't know. He still thinks that it was because you had someone else in your heart that his mother became depressed and died early."
"Ever since you brought Ah Ci home, I've been disgusted with him and I hate him deeply."
Lu Shiyan's eyes suddenly widened, as if something hit his heart hard, and his breathing stopped at this moment. So it was his mother who broke up the old man and Aci's mother.
It was his mother who was sorry to Aci's mother, not because the old man was obsessed with his mother, which caused his mother to die of depression.
For so many years, he had wrongly blamed Aci's mother, taken his anger out on Aci, and bullied Aci wrongly.
So he really deserves the title of vicious cannon fodder.
He felt as if his heart was being tightly grasped by an invisible big hand. The stinging sensation instantly spread throughout his body through the blood, and a fishy and sweet taste surged in his throat.
The next moment, Lu Shiyan stumbled and fell straight down.
Mrs. Lu was about to say something when suddenly there was a muffled sound of something heavy falling on the stairs.
"Ayan!"
Several people hurried over and quickly helped Lu Shiyan, who had rolled down the stairs. Fortunately, the last time Fu Ci fell down the stairs, Lu Yanzhou ordered people to lay carpets in the stairwell.
As Lu Shiyan's blood surged, the fishy and sweet taste he had been holding back in his throat could no longer be held back and overflowed.
Lu Yanzhou's eyes trembled, and he said hurriedly: "Ayan, you are bleeding, I will take you to the hospital."
Lu Shiyan wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and forced himself to stand up. "I'm not going to the hospital, I'm going to find Ah Ci!"
Mrs. Lu felt distressed when she saw his pale face. She could only try to comfort him, "Ayan, don't worry."
"Your father has already found several professional rescue teams and has been searching non-stop. I believe we'll have news about Ah Ci soon."
"No, I want to go find him myself!"
Lu Shiyan's face was pale and ugly, his eyes were full of worry and sadness, as if he was afraid of something, but the next moment he fell down again due to exhaustion.
Just at this moment, Zhou Mu rushed over, helped him from the ground to lie down on the sofa, looked at his abnormal face, and quickly checked him carefully.
Zhou Mu knew about Lu Shiyan and Fu Ci's relationship, but now was not the time for him to show off. He advised in a hoarse voice, "Ayan, you have a high fever. I'll give you an injection. You should get some sleep."
"I don't want the injection." A messy panic flashed across Lu Shiyan's eyes, and he struggled to get up. "Aci is still waiting for me. I want to go find Aci."
"You're not allowed to go!"
Lu Yanzhou shouted, "Don't you think it's not chaotic enough now?"
"Why didn't I realize before that you had such deep feelings for Aci?"
"I asked you to treat him better, but you didn't listen. You let everyone around you bully him, a little fool. He's been thinking about you as his brother all his life. Now you regret it, but it's too late."
"If you're sick or injured, just stay home. Grandpa and grandma are so old, can you bear to let them worry about you?"
Lu Shiyan looked at the worried Mr. and Mrs. Lu, and his heart ached. Bitterness quickly spread, like a worm or a poison, gnawing at him repeatedly, making him feel so painful that he wanted to die.
He let go dejectedly, his pale face showing a sad expression. Big tears rolled down from the corners of his eyes, soaking his clothes in an instant. "Aci, I'm sorry..."
The heart of the man who had always been favored by heaven was crushed and turned into mud in an instant.
Three days later, there was still no news of Fu Ci, as if he had evaporated into the sea.
Lu Shiyan also looked haggard, as if his soul had been drained out. There was blue stubble on his chin, his eyes were bloodshot, and his clothes were wrinkled and hanging on his body.
He didn't dare reveal his sadness in front of his elders, so he could only secretly run to Fu Ci's room, sit on the edge of the bed with his knees hugged, hug his quilt almost pathologically, bury his head deeply in it, greedily sniffing the familiar and delicate scent on it.
It seemed that only in this way could he feel that the little fool was still by his side, clinging to him and calling him brother, his heart and eyes full of dependence and affection.
