Chapter 58 58 So Liang Guanyue doesn't like dreaming
Half a year after Fu Yunlu left the main city, Fu Yunliang's trial process finally came to an end. The result of the first instance was upheld, and he was sentenced to death with a two-year reprieve for multiple crimes including intentional homicide and □.
Liang Guanyue had voluntarily resigned from his tutoring job. Clough had once spoken to him privately, admitting that he did want to deal with him on Fu Yunlu's behalf, but Fu Yunlu had specifically told him not to embarrass him before leaving.
"Are you sure he won't retaliate against you?" Clave asked curiously. "You know, no matter what your reasons, if you do something like this to a prince, there's a good chance he won't even leave his body."
Liang Guanyue said, "It was just a bet, and I won." He then said, "I have another bet that's not yet completed. Do you want to join me?"
Clough stared at him for a moment, then helplessly spread his hands. "I thought John was enough for you to control. What earth-shattering event do you want to accomplish?"
"I just don't want to be bullied for nothing. Don't you think Fu Chaoyang is living too comfortably now?"
There was some interest in Clough's eyes: "You want to deal with him?"
"You can think of this as my revenge for Fu Yunlu."
Clough seemed to have heard a joke: "Don't mistake me for that fool John."
Liang Guanyue said: "Fu Yunlu should tell you——"
Clough sighed, "Alright, he doesn't care about what you did, so there's no need for me to be angry on his behalf."
He continued, "Yes, that's right. Before he left, he did tell me, 'If Liang Guanyue really needs help, I hope you can give him a little.' I didn't want to agree. After all, to be honest, I don't like you very much. But after all, he saved my life before."
Liang Guanyue looked at the hourglass behind Clough and said lightly: "Thank you."
Clough, however, seemed to be suddenly pleased with himself. He pointed his thumb back at the slowly running hourglass and boasted, "This is something from the ancient Earth. The sand inside is all from the seashore of the ancient Earth."
Liang Guanyue asked, "What's the difference between this and an ordinary hourglass?"
"Of course it's different," Clough said. "This is a one-of-a-kind piece, very expensive." He added, "Fu Yunlu bought it for me on the black market when he was expelled from the main city two years ago. He said I just like these weird and wonderful things, so I bought it."
Liang Guanyue said: "You two have a very good relationship."
Clough didn't deny it, but simply said, "He doesn't have many friends, and most of them are connected by interests." He commented, "So it was his mistake for him to fall in love with you."
In the eyes of these people, true love has no value except creating weaknesses for themselves.
Liang Guanyue smiled and said, "Everyone always has something they desire."
"That's the position he wanted more than anything and you've robbed him of that opportunity," Clough said.
Liang Guanyue held up his face and didn't take the blame: "Without me, his brother's matter really can't be exposed, but without me, can you be sure that there is no one else? Or perhaps, there are other things that deserve to be judged."
The argument between Liang Guanyue and Clough ended inconclusively. When ordinary people, worried about tomorrow, struggling to make a living, struggling to afford surgery, clash with powerful figures whose single bottle of wine could offset a lifetime's savings, they often struggle to reach a consensus.
The hardships of life always tend to fall on the poor, but they have no other choice but to pray to God for good luck. Therefore, having nowhere to vent, they are good at blaming themselves for the problems. On the contrary, rich people are often accustomed to blaming others.
The time of Nino and Nicolas was like an inverted hourglass of the William family. Countless grains of sand passed through the narrow mouth, and two years passed in a hurry.
So much had happened in those two years, but Fu Yunlu, far away in District 53, had no way of knowing anything. The head of state had placed a restriction on her, barring her from leaving District 53 unless absolutely necessary, let alone entering the main city. He declared to the public that this was punishment for her collusion with others, deceiving citizens, and trampling on the law.
"Nurturing an abscess and leaving trouble behind is self-inflicted." This was how the media later commented on the incident.
As for Fu Chaoyang, he was found to be raising human insectoid test subjects at home, and even invested in gray area venues under a false name. The infiltrated reporters said that operating erotic trade in the venues was the least worth mentioning, and kidnapping people in marginal administrative areas to provide organ sources was outrageous.
On the day of taking graduation photos, the big screen at Stroe University was playing the court's official announcement of Fu Chaoyang's trial results. Liang Guanyue walked through the crowd without looking around and walked forward nonchalantly.
Seeing Liang Guanyue, Fanna pushed John and said with a wink, "Aren't you going to apologize to your boyfriend? Why are you standing there like an idiot?"
Liang Guanyue then noticed John and said, "The instructor wants to talk to me about something. If it's not important, you can wait until I get back."
But John thought this was an excuse, and hurriedly grabbed his hand and whispered, "Don't be angry."
Liang Guanyue asked doubtfully, "Am I angry?"
"Last time when you were susceptible... that..." John said softly, "I did regret it, mainly because..." He spoke even more softly, and Liang Guanyue had to listen carefully to hear the general idea, "It's too painful to enter the reproductive cavity. The Alpha part is not suitable for use..."
So that's what it was. Liang Guanyue understood and nodded, "I didn't take it to heart."
John clenched his hands and asked tentatively, "So, from now on, we can only go in from the back, okay? If it comes to genitals, reproductive organs, and cavities... I'm really a little scared."
Liang Guanyue said indifferently, "Okay."
The matter of Fu Chaoyang was over, and John was no longer of any use to him, so he planned to break up with John after receiving his diploma. Dealing with people was troublesome, and there was no need to demand it, so Liang Guanyue didn't like to find things to do.
John raised his head as if flattered, and even raised his voice: "Really, Guan Yue?"
Liang Guanyue pinched his earlobe and said gently: "Of course John, how could I lie to you."
——
Liang Guanyue was indeed a person who seldom dreamed. Unlike others, he subconsciously believed that dreams were an extension of reality.
But unlike reality, in dreams, he loses control of himself.
So he seldom dreams and doesn't like to dream.
Therefore, he always remembers the things he dreams about very clearly, such as the time he dreamed of his mother's appearance before her death, and this time he dreamed that Fu Yunlu parked the car at the beach, opened his handcuffs and shackles, looked at him, and then walked towards the beach step by step.
Liang Guanyue remembered that she did not call him at that time, and Fu Yunlu probably did not imagine that someone like him was worthy of being stopped by others. He just kept walking towards the sea that was gradually turning blue in the distance.
It wasn't until the seawater reached Fu Yunlu's waist that Liang Guanyue reluctantly said, "What's the point of doing this?"
Fu Yunlu stopped and didn't look back at him.
Later, John brought people to pick him up, and Fu Yunlu turned around - he would not show weakness in front of others, even though he was so embarrassed in the car just now that he needed to bite his lower lip with his teeth to stop crying, but in front of John and the others, he just slightly opened his red eyes and called out his name hoarsely, that's all.
He said: "Liang Guanyue..."
The waves and wind were too loud, and Liang Guanyue did not hear clearly what he said next.
Now, in his dream, Fu Yunlu also bent down to remove his shackles and bandaged his wound with gauze. He opened the car door, and Liang Guanyue felt the salty sea breeze blowing towards them before the sun.
Fu Yunlu continued to walk towards the seashore without saying a word until the water reached his ankles. The sunlight reflected from the azure sea surface passed through Liang Guanyue's pupils. He looked at Fu Yunlu's thin and even slightly hunched back. Liang Guanyue wondered who was controlling his brain in his sleep.
"Fu Yunlu."
Liang Guanyue took a few steps forward, and the sea water gently brushed over the back of his feet.
"Come here." He held out his hand. "I won't go over there again, but you can come back to me now."
Fu Yunlu paused, looked back at him in disbelief, and her tears mixed into the sea.
Liang Guanyue laughed inexplicably: "Brother, I never realized you were so fond of crying before."
"...Liang Guanyue."
"Hmm?" Liang Guanyue thought he was about to say something unpleasant, and just like the dying mother in her dream, she said calmly, "Go ahead, I'm listening."
Fu Yunlu's lips moved: "...What I hate is not your betrayal."
Liang Guanyue froze, his brow furrowed in confusion. He wanted to ask Fu Yunlu what she meant, but his dream stopped there. There was no Fu Yunlu, no sea, no wind, and even the sunlight had dimmed. Liang Guanyue turned around. His mother's body lay on the bed, and the surroundings were all too familiar—he had spent his childhood in this dilapidated, small house.
A fly landed on the omega's lips. Liang Guanyue lowered his eyes for a moment, then raised his hand to shoo it away. He had forgotten why he had sat like a fool beside the corpse for a whole day and night before finally burying his mother.
Some meaningless old things should pass by quietly instead of deepening the traces of their existence.
He didn't want to dream about them much anymore.
But what I see and hear in my dreams is never under my control.
So Liang Guanyue doesn't like to dream.
