Chapter 43 Being a Guest



The owner of Wanghai Villa changed quietly.

This incident did not cause much of a stir. The heir of the Ren family had mental problems and was forced to receive medical treatment for intentional injury, so naturally he was in trouble both internally and externally.

The business ran into trouble one after another and many partners were cut off. Amid the panic among the people, the Ren family has already sold off a number of assets.

Although the Wanghai villa was sold successfully, no one moved in immediately. Instead, it was thoroughly cleaned and renovated from inside to outside, and someone was hired to take care of the garden.

Although no one knows the situation inside the villa, when the old shop owner and regular tourists near the villa's private beach chatted, they all felt that the beach seemed to be becoming like it was ten years ago.

Ten years ago, Wang Hai was specially transformed by Ren Shuangmei and was intended to be given to Luo Chi.

This villa was supposed to be a birthday present for Luo Chi's thirteenth birthday, and every detail inside it is thoughtfully designed.

The ochre-red roofs have a very high saturation. When the weather is fine, they will merge with the clouds to form a burning sunset glow. If there is fog on the sea, you can recognize the location of the villa at a glance by the red spires.

The villa originally had brick walls, but many of them were painted white, and paints were readily available everywhere, allowing Luo Chi to paint whatever he liked on them.

The small house where Luo Chi lived was surrounded by a garden. In the past, there were people who took good care of the place. One could see the lush and vibrant vegetation from the window, and sunlight could always shine in.

If Aunt Ren also came to the villa, she would most likely drag Luo Chi to live in the main house of the villa without any explanation - there was actually a room for Luo Chi there. The room she chose for Luo Chi had a super spacious terrace, from which he could see the sea at a glance and hear the gentle sound of the waves at night.

The back of the villa is surrounded by reefs. Walking along the reefs to the low hill, there is a pavilion in a very good position on the top. Standing in the pavilion, you can just see Luo Chi’s cottage.

Going down the stone steps is the beach, which is well shielded from the wind and perfect for barbecues and bonfire parties.

These arrangements were treated as a surprise and were kept strictly secret, not revealed to Luo Chi at all, and inadvertently they were hidden for ten years.

Many unrelated people have lived in the villa over the past ten years, and many of the original layouts have been changed or abandoned.

Minglu led his men to thoroughly clean up all traces of the past, found the designer who was responsible for renovating the villa, and renovated it from the inside out as much as possible, finally restoring it to its original appearance.

By the evening of that day, the main house was finally almost ready.

When Ming Lu walked through the garden and came to the cottage, Luo Chi was picked up by Ming Weiting and placed on the hammock in the garden because he had successfully picked up ten shells.

The hammock was installed by Minglu and his men, and was intended only for decoration. Luo Chi's right leg had no strength at all and it was difficult for him to keep his balance. As soon as he was put on it, it began to shake violently.

Minglu's heart sank, and he hurried over: "Sir——"

Ming Weiting shook his head: "It doesn't matter."

He didn't look serious when he said this, and there was even a hint of smile in his eyes.

Ming Lu looked back and looked carefully, only to find that Luo Chitian was spinning and shaking non-stop, yet he still had the time and energy to reach out and greet him.

The one who is fearless is naturally the happy Luo Chi.

Although the hammock was shaking violently, he always believed that he was a big flame that could handle anything, so he found it exciting and even wanted to shake it more violently.

Ming Weiting kept looking at him intently until Luo Chi almost fell out of the hammock, then he suddenly reached out and held him steady in time.

Luo Chi didn't have enough fun swinging, so Ming Weiting adjusted the rope of the hammock again, and slowly pushed and pulled him back and forth a few times with less force.

This time the hammock only swayed slightly. Luo Chi gradually found the trick to balance. He held the edge with his left hand and slowly poked his head out.

Luo Chi was having a lot of fun, his eyes sparkling, a thin layer of sweat on his forehead: "Uncle Lu."

Minglu breathed a sigh of relief and smiled as well, walking over to greet him: "Flame."

While Luo Chi's attention was drawn, Ming Weiting suddenly reached out and gently shook the hammock again.

Luo Chi was startled, but immediately felt excited. He was supported by Ming Weiting and swayed on the hammock. He couldn't help but laugh out loud with excitement.

It is not difficult to see that this game project has probably gone through several rounds.

Ming Lu actually didn't expect Ming Weiting to play this with Luo Chi, but looking at the situation in front of him, it seemed that there was nothing to be surprised about. Instead, after watching for a while, even he couldn't help but grab a hammock rope and swing in the opposite direction.

Luo Chi was attacked from both sides and became even more unstable. He laughed so hard that he coughed a little, and immediately guessed that someone was causing trouble again: "Uncle Lu!"

Seeing that he was about to fall, Ming Weiting turned around and held up Luo Chi along with the hammock.

Luo Chi's hand and leg on one side were inconvenient, but it did not affect his ability to gain experience and maintain balance.

Luo Chi held the rope with his left hand and immediately popped his head out of the hammock.

His speed was faster than last time, and Minglu didn't even have time to withdraw his hand holding the rope.

Minglu coughed lightly and raised his hands in surrender.

Luo Chi sat in the hammock majestically.

Ming Weiting also had a smile in his eyes. He stretched out his hand and carried Luo Chi out: "Uncle Lu, is the main house ready?"

"Yes." Minglu, "Sir, would you like to stay tonight?"

Ming Weiting looked down at Luo Chi: "Sleeping in the villa?"

Ever since his right hand started to improve, Luo Chi refused to ask for help on too many things. He was leaning on Ming Weiting's shoulder, concentrating on wiping his sweat with a few tissues.

I was so engrossed in the game just now that my heart is still beating so fast that it almost drowns out the sounds around me.

When he noticed the shadow falling beside him, he realized that the other person was talking to him. He raised his eyes and met Ming Weiting's gaze.

"Do you like it here?" Ming Weiting touched his hair, "Do you want to stay?"

Luo Chi recognized the content and blinked slightly.

Before this, Luo Chi had been recuperating on the cruise ship. It has been adjusted to be very comfortable, but the cruise ship is docked at the pier, which is some distance away from the real sea and the beach.

The happy Luo Chi was naturally satisfied with everything - in fact, most of the time, Luo Chi didn't pay much attention to where he was.

As long as Mr. Shadow was around, Luo Chi would concentrate on training his right hand. In addition to strength, the latest project has added another control. Ming Weiting put the shell in his hand and stood a few steps away to let Luo Chi reach out and take it, which made it much more difficult than before.

Luo Chi, who was focused on overcoming difficulties, felt the same wherever he was. As long as he was not in the hospital or trapped in bed with sedatives and unable to move, he felt very satisfied.

But when he was half asleep and half awake, he would occasionally become too tired to suppress the part of himself in the fog. When Luo Chi woke up briefly, he would stare at the distant sea outside the window in a daze.

After thinking about the conch, Luo Chi would often become absent-minded like this.

He has sorted out his memories from the Luo family to Wanghai, but most of the memories that were submerged in the fog are still chaotic and blurry.

Up to now, Luo Chi has not been able to fully figure out what happened to him.

Why did Mr. Shadow suddenly appear, and why did I have to take so many medicines just for a broken leg.

Why is it that we are already at the beach but not in the villa, and I don’t see Aunt Ren?

"You can sleep here, or in the main house."

Ming Weiting slowly told him the options: "You can also go back to the cruise ship and come back tomorrow."

Luo Chi hesitated: "Is Aunt Ren coming?"

"I can't come for the time being." Ming Weiting said, "Huo Miao needs to take good care of his health."

This was not the first time he answered Luo Chi's question.

The last time Luo Chi thought of the conch, he had a severe headache and lost consciousness. Finally, he slowly fell into a coma and slept like that for a whole day and a night.

Because he slept too long, Ming Weiting had planned to take him for a check-up early the next morning, and Luo Chi happened to wake up at that time.

After waking up, Luo Chi seemed to have sorted out more things than before, but because of this, he subconsciously thought that he had broken his leg and was recuperating, so he had been waiting for Aunt Ren.

Luo Chi got the answer and nodded slowly.

He looked towards the path in the garden. He had been carefree for many days, but now it seemed as if he had unknowingly become a little more worried.

This thought will not exist in the outer consciousness for long. Once you wake up, it will be absorbed into the fog again.

It was getting darker and the moonlight was becoming brighter, filtering through the lush leaves of the vines.

The weather was good all day today and there was no wind at night. Ming Weiting didn't have to worry about him catching a cold, so he was not in a hurry and just waited patiently for Luo Chi.

"... the main house." Luo Chi finally made a decision, "Let's go visit."

All the details have been specially restored. Luo Chi should not feel unfamiliar with Wanghai Villa. Minglu was stunned: "Who is going to visit?"

Ming Weiting, whose shirt was pulled by Luo Chi, took the initiative to answer: "Me."

Ming Lu was still a little dazed. He watched Ming Weiting carefully put Luo Chi into a wheelchair. His body limply leaned to one side. He subconsciously wanted to help him, but Ming Weiting raised his hand to stop him.

Luo Chi looked extremely serious.

He was not at all worried about his bad condition, and he didn't ask a single question. He just concentrated on trying to adjust his strength and regain control of his body.

Today's physical strength has been almost exhausted, and a thin layer of sweat slowly appears on Luo Chi's forehead. Little by little, he found the knack of exerting force, supported his body and successfully sat down. Finally, he straightened his shoulders and breathed a sigh of relief with satisfaction.

In the morning, I could only rely on Mr. Shadow for help, but after a whole day, with the experience of sitting up in the hammock just now, I was able to successfully find the corresponding skills and tricks.

Today's training was so successful that Luo Chi couldn't help but feel happy. The corners of his lips couldn't help but rise.

It was not his first time to sit in a wheelchair, and he still remembered how to control it. He skillfully turned the electric wheelchair around so that it was facing Ming Weiting.

Luo Chi's eyes lit up: "Who's going to be the guest?"

Ming Weiting had seen him and Aunt Ren playing this question-and-answer game, so he smiled and half-knelt down: "Me."

Luo Chi immediately pursed his lips, then immediately suppressed his smile and said in a very serious tone: "Who's going to visit?"

Ming Weiting also looked serious and straightened his collar: "Me."

"A lucky fan of Huo Miao, come visit Huo Miao's home."

Ming Weiting answered him seriously, and then used the tone he learned from the Internet to make an objective comment on the matter: "How could the lucky fans be so excessive? They didn't even bring any gifts."

Luo Chi really couldn't hold back his laughter this time. He didn't know what he was happy about, but he just couldn't stop laughing. It was not until I wanted to raise my hand to wipe away my tears that I finally remembered that my left hand had to support my body and my right hand was too tired to move.

If you can’t move, then you can’t move. Who cares?

Anyway, everything will be fine in the future, Mr. Shadow said everything will be fine in the future.

Since he can get better in the future, what he needs to do now is to try his best to prevent his body from getting worse, and ensure that when the day comes when he recovers, he will be able to jump up and play the guitar, drive, and surf.

Ming Weiting raised his hand, bent his index finger and lightly tapped his wet eyelashes.

He seemed to know what Luo Chi was thinking, and reminded him: "You still have to pay your debt."

Luo Chi laughed so hard that he coughed, so he had no choice but to nod: "Pay back the debt."

How can there be such lucky fans? Even though I went back to his villa with him as a guest, he just wanted him to pay back his debts.

He won't default on his debts. He never defaults on his debts.

When this thought came to his mind, his heart, which was filled with joy and almost seemed to be lazily soaking in the sea water warmed by the sun, was suddenly hit twice by an extremely familiar force.

The place where I was hit suddenly felt pain. It wasn't the kind of painful pain, but more like the numbness from being frozen for a long time, and the guilty feeling that finally rose up quietly after realizing that I was wrong.

...Why doesn’t he default on his debt?

He promised so many things, but failed to fulfill any of them.

He promised Aunt Ren a lot of things and made a lot of promises... He held the conch in his hand while Aunt Ren on the hospital bed hit him on the head again and again.

"Find someone you like the most." Aunt Ren tapped him, "Bring him back to show me."

Aunt Ren knocked on him: "I want to bring him back as a guest."

Because of some very boring people and very boring things, he didn't fulfill any of the promises he made to the most important people... He was unwilling to let such a serious mistake end. He still wants to live.

He still wants to live.

He still wants to live.

These few words seemed to suddenly open a hole in Luo Chi's chest, and a cool breeze suddenly blew in. He subconsciously held onto the armrest of the wheelchair.

It’s not any one of the many kinds of pain...it’s a particularly long-lost feeling.

He thought of his broken leg. It was itchy when the wound started to heal, a special kind of pain and numbness that ran along the nerves and kept him awake.

Aunt Ren held him, not allowing him to move around and hurt his wound, and chatted with him the whole night.

They talked about places they wanted to go, things they wanted to do, and the most important people they would meet in the future.

Talk about all the things that require living a long time to accomplish.

I don't know why, but my heart suddenly started pounding in my chest, as if I was fulfilling a promise that had not been fulfilled for a long time.

Luo Chi recovered from a heart palpitation, and his palm covered with cold sweat was covered by another hand.

The owner of the hand held his hand, raised the other hand, and carefully wiped the moisture from his eyelashes: "Why are you crying?"

Luo Chi did not answer, did not hide or move, but her eyelashes trembled slightly at his touch.

Ming Weiting was slightly stunned. He held Luo Chi's hand and looked carefully into those eyes.

There was mist in those eyes. It was the first time he saw this happen when Luo Chi was fully awake.

Luo Chi was also confused when he woke up. He seemed to have no idea what was going on. He just looked around slowly in confusion.

For the first time, wind blew into the thick fog.

The figure trapped in the fog, which was about to melt into the fog, suddenly struggled silently, and that struggle seemed to quietly open a crack.

In the thick fog where there was nothing, a young leaf struggled out stupidly and looked at the figure in front of it.

"Take good care of yourself." Luo Chi suddenly spoke.

He found the word and moved on to the next one.

I have an important question.

Ming Weiting half squatted down and looked into Luo Chi's eyes.

Luo Chi looked at him, as if he wanted to ask a very important question, but he was afraid to speak.

Ming Weiting repeated in a low voice: "Take good care of yourself."

Luo Chi nodded.

He clenched his palms slowly.

He had been in the fog for a long time. It had been a long time since he had thought about something so seriously and racked his brains.

He hadn't thought about this for a long time, so long that just thinking about it suddenly brought on a burst of desire that he had never even noticed before.

Luo Chi's throat moved slightly.

He clenched his fist and asked very carefully and softly, "Can I live a long time?"
