Chapter 9: The Storm Rises
Hearing Deng Linyuan's question about why the two had not seen each other in the past 11 years, Zhu Feilu could only answer with a wry smile: "After I was protected, my family did not allow me to contact the An family again." Of course I had gratitude to An Yuanxiu's family for protecting me back then, but the culprit was also their family, wasn't it......" When it comes to the complicated feelings for the An family, Zhu Feilu is actually a little unclear about himself.
"And I know the ins and outs of the 'proton' incident when Aunt Yi has passed away, I wanted to go to An Yuanxiu but found that I couldn't contact him at all, I thought it was because they were defending me at the beginning that they ......"
Zhu Feilu blamed himself for thinking of this possibility all these years, and he could only cover his face with his hands and keep rubbing to relieve his anxiety and pain.
"Xiao Lu ......" Deng Linyuan saw Zhu Feilu's appearance, and hurriedly hugged him worriedly, he even felt that it would be better for Zhu Feilu not to reunite with An Yuanxiu.
"So, Brother Yuan Xiu is so good...... How could I resist not going to him, but how dare I...... How can you implicate him again......" After Zhu Feilu said this, he bent down and covered his face in pain in Deng Linyuan's comfort.
In the evening, the wind began to blow in the north of the city, the windows of the two-person dormitory were not closed, and the warm wind at the end of summer swept the scattered fallen leaves in the air, and slipped into the windows with half-hidden curtains, and the light in the room without turning on the lights was on for a while.
Zhu Feilu buried his face in his palm and didn't make any sound, and Deng Linyuan didn't seem to notice the tears that slipped from Zhu Feilu's fingers to the ground, just silently accompanied Zhu Feilu and didn't say anything to comfort.
When the room began to completely darken, Zhu Feilu pulled his sleeve and wiped his face, sat up straight from Deng Linyuan's embrace, took a few deep breaths, and then looked up at Deng Linyuan as if nothing had happened.
Deng Linyuan saw Zhu Feilu's originally watery and white face at first glance, and he was speechless in distress - because of the long crying and rubbing just now, Zhu Feilu's face was flushed with an unnatural red, his eyes were even more red and swollen, and his nose was also red and looked pitiful.
Deng Linyuan, who was just silently comforting him just now, saw this, and felt that he should say something at this time, but his brain was blank and he was at a loss, and he couldn't say anything for a long time, during this period, Zhu Feilu didn't say anything, just looked up at him quietly, which made Deng Linyuan even more panicked, for fear that Zhu Feilu would be stunned by too much blow.
"Xiao Lu, Xiao Lu, don't look at me like this...... Don't you stop talking...... Are you okay! Deng Linyuan said a few words, Zhu Feilu still didn't respond, and Deng Linyuan, who was anxious, grabbed his shoulder and shook it, wanting to confirm whether he was stupid.
"Xiao Lu...... Don't you do that...... I know you're uncomfortable, but ...... But, but you still have me, and uncles and aunts...... Don't have any accidents, Xiao Lu! Speaking of the back, Deng Linyuan almost roared loudly, wanting to wake up Zhu Feilu, who suddenly lowered his head.
"Humph......"
"What?" Hearing Zhu Feilu's voice, Deng Linyuan hurriedly leaned in to listen.
"Hum Hum Hum ......"
"Huh? Xiao Lu, are you uncomfortable? ”
"Uh-huh-hmm...... Hahahahaha......ha
"Xiao Lu...... You're scaring me to death! Seeing that Zhu Feilu finally reacted, although the state of laughter was not quite right, but at least he was no longer so stupid, Deng Linyuan let go of Zhu Feilu's shoulders with relief, and swayed back and sat on the ground without standing firmly.
Seeing Deng Linyuan so worried about himself, Zhu Feilu stopped his sudden laughter, stood up from the side of the bed and reached out to pull Deng Linyuan, but the smile in his eyes and the corners of his mouth still couldn't dissipate.
"Alas......" Even if he was laughed at, Deng Linyuan couldn't help Zhu Feilu, stood up and raised his hand to rub Zhu Feilu's head.
Zhu Feilu smiled at Deng Linyuan: "It's okay, I just feel that I am a little silly when I suddenly cry......" After speaking, he lowered his head and rubbed his fingers embarrassedly and rubbed his nose.
The two of them tossed for such a while, only to find that the room was already dark, coupled with the intense mood swings just now, they felt hungry when they were quiet at this time.
"Let's go get something to eat first."
The two simply went to the school cafeteria to eat something, and after the meal, Deng Linyuan grabbed Zhu Feilu, who was going back to the dormitory, and wanted him to walk around the campus.
The two chatted casually, and after walking for a while, they came to the vicinity of Xuezi Lake, and where they could see the woods where they reunited with An Yuanxiu, Zhu Feilu, who was still talking just now, suddenly quieted down and stopped.
"What's wrong, Xiao Lu?" Seeing Zhu Feilu suddenly stop and look in one direction, Deng Linyuan also stopped and looked in the direction of Zhu Feilu's line of sight.
"Remember September 6th, when I suddenly felt a strange aura in class and ran out?" Zhu Feilu still looked at the woods and said.
Receiving Deng Linyuan's affirmative answer, Zhu Feilu continued.
"11 years ago, on September 6th, it was the day I first met An Yuanxiu, it was really fate, and 11 years later, on the same day, we were reunited." As he spoke, Zhu Feilu raised his finger forward.
"It was in that woods that we were reunited."
Deng Lin saw Zhu Feilu mention An Yuanxiu again, and he regretted walking to Xuezi Lake a little, he scratched his head and didn't know how to respond to Zhu Feilu, but an idea suddenly appeared in his mind.
He asked, "Why did An Yuanxiu suddenly come to school that day?" Did you happen to run into it? ”
"He took over the task that day to do the routine aura of integrity, who knew that the strange aura appeared as soon as he entered the campus, and he had already arrived when I rushed over." Zhu Feilu retracted his gaze, turned around and walked to the bench by the lake and sat down.
"Actually, if it weren't for our family's recent stance...... Let me decide to get involved in the metaphysical world, how could I come over to check on the situation that day. The two of us will meet again, and in the final analysis, it is because the An family once again listened to the doubts of our family in the metaphysical world, ha, this is really ......" Zhu Feilu felt sarcastic when he said this.
Deng Linyuan walked to the bench and patted Zhu Feilu's shoulder, and after sitting down, he continued to ask: "The An family has this attitude towards your family, what about An Yuanxiu?" He knows who you are, right? ”
"He doesn't seem to remember 11 years ago, but he knows that I'm going to hide my identity, and even helps me hide it...... So I don't understand what his attitude is. Zhu Feilu said helplessly.
"And how did he know who you are?"
"The first time we met, I said my full name, and he understood it as soon as he heard it, and secretly reminded me that in that case, I was likely to be used as evidence of 'wishing the family's ambition not to die' at the scene." Thinking of his reckless behavior at that time, Zhu Feilu was a little afraid, but fortunately it was An Yuanxiu who came at that time.
"Wait, you're saying you said who you were the first time we met?" When Deng Linyuan heard this, he felt that his thoughts might be true.
"Not only did he not doubt your presence at the scene, but he also reminded you to pay attention to your words and deeds? Will he ...... Actually, I suspect you?! Will...... It was planned from the beginning of the reunion, but he deliberately pretended to be by your side as if nothing happened, in fact, to spy on you?! Lately, he's always taken you with him everywhere he went, didn't he? ”
Deng Linyuan jumped up from the bench in fright by his own thoughts, and directly came to a conclusion: "It's too dangerous!" You are not allowed to go to the king's house with them tomorrow!" Don't contact them again! ”
Zhu Feilu looked at Deng Linyuan, who had a big brain, and laughed out loud, and said with difficulty while laughing: "Hahahahaha...... Lin Yuan, your brain is too big, isn't it...... Wherever he goes, he takes me with him, and I pestered him from the beginning, have you forgotten? ”
Saying that, Zhu Feilu also stood up, straightened his clothes, put his hand in his pocket and said to Deng Linyuan: "Don't worry, is he really thinking about me or spying on me, I can feel it, I feel it the most keen." ”
"You don't feel like ......"
Zhu Feilu patted Deng Linyuan on the shoulder and interrupted him, tilted his head and motioned for the two to go back.
"Even if it's surveillance, I wish the family a clear conscience, and I wish they could see the truth quickly."
"Besides, participating in the metaphysical realm from An Yuanxiu's side is much faster than exploring it myself." Zhu Feilu's expression became sincere as he spoke.
"Although I don't know what An Yuanxiu is thinking about, I will never give up this opportunity."
Looking at Zhu Feilu, who was firmly walking in front after saying this, Deng Linyuan couldn't say any more words of admonition.
Everyone understands the truth, but for the sake of his family, for himself, and even for the sake of believing that the love he once had was true, Zhu Feilu will always choose to go to the road of Hushan without hesitation.
Deng Linyuan silently followed Zhu Feilu, for the first time he felt that he was in the metaphysical world but had no strength, and his identity as a "child of a family" was actually useless.
The next day, Zhu Feilu and An Yuanxiu went to Wang's house together.
Before leaving, Deng Linyuan was like a worried old mother as usual, telling this and that, and even followed downstairs in the dormitory, insisting that he would send Zhu Feilu An Yuanxiu's car to rest assured, which made Zhu Feilu laugh again and again.
Watching An Yuanxiu's car leave in front of the dormitory building, Deng Linyuan, who was still giggling just now, had a serious and serious expression that he had never seen before.
Standing there for a long time, he seemed to have finally made up his mind, took out his mobile phone and dialed it.
"Hey, Dad, it's me...... There's something I'd like to ask for your consent to......," he said, walking towards his own car coming in front of him.
Inside the dormitory door, a thin man looked in the direction the two left, lifted his glasses and left.
In An Yuanxiu's car, Zhu Feilu found that Qi Yaang was not there after getting in the car, Zhu Feilu sat in the co-pilot and fastened his seat belt, and just wanted to say hello to An Yuanxiu, he found that An Yuanxiu frowned tightly and looked very serious.
"What's the matter, Brother Yuan Xiu? Did something happen? Zhu Feilu saw An Yuanxiu like this, and didn't have time to ask Qi Yaang why he didn't come, so he asked about An Yuanxiu's situation first.
"The original plan to go to Wang's house for a thorough investigation is too late, and we will go directly to the hospital now. Azie has passed. An Yuanxiu said with a rare look on his face when he mentioned this.
"Hospital? What's wrong? ”
"Just as we were on the way to pick you up, the Wang family contacted us and said that Mr. Wang had a car accident on the way to the bidding meeting, and he is still rescuing him...... After receiving the call, Aqi got out of the car and rushed to the hospital, I will pick you up first. ”
"What!" Zhu Feilu was shocked when he heard the news, yesterday's metaphysical society had just decided on a plan to re-investigate thoroughly, and today there was an accident.
"Does that mean our suspicions and the direction of our new investigation are correct?" Zhu Feilu said a conjecture that he had been faintly worried about: "Will this force the mastermind behind the scenes to break the can and attack more people?" ”
"I can't tell, Mrs. Wang has been crying on the phone, and I can't tell what happened, and I can't easily draw conclusions now, everything will be talked about when we go." An Yuanxiu opened his mouth to soothe.
Hearing An Yuanxiu say this, Zhu Feilu had no other way, in order not to affect An Yuanxiu, who was driving, Zhu Feilu had to endure his anxiety, and the two people in the car were speechless for a while.
Soon arrived at Chengnan Hospital, and as soon as the car stopped, the two of them rushed out of the car in a hurry.
Rushing to the door of the operating room, Qi Yaang had already arrived for a while, and was now anxiously comforting Mrs. Wang and the crying children on the side, while asking about the accident with difficulty.
"Azie." An Yuanxiu saw that Qi Yaang was dragged by Mrs. Wang and cried and couldn't get out, so he called him to relieve him.
"Yuan Xiu! Xiao Lu! You're finally here! …… Madame Wang, wait a minute...... So what...... Let's loosen it first...... The Metaphysical Society is here! Qi Yaang struggled to pull Mrs. Wang's hand away from his sleeve, and before Mr. Wang's child was about to pounce on his thigh, a dodge came out.
Although the occasion was not quite right, every time they saw Qi Yaang anxious and unable to maintain a decent appearance, An Yuanxiu and the two wanted to laugh a little.
"Ahem...... Why are you here alone? Did you inform the people of the Genku Society? An Yuanxiu coughed and stopped smiling.
"Hi...... Don't mention it! Let's just say that this matter is really a disaster, I just reported to the Metaphysical Society on the Wang family's side, and I heard that there was a lot of noise over there, and it seemed that many people had an accident at the same time! ”
Qi Yaang took the water handed over by Zhu Feilu on the side, said thank you briefly, twisted the cap of the bottle and poured a few sips, it seemed that he was tortured by Mrs. Wang just now.
Listening to Qi Yaang talk about the current situation of the Metaphysical Society, Zhu Feilu and An Yuanxiu glanced at each other, and both of them had a faint premonition that the worst that Zhu Feilu guessed on the road just now might have really happened.
