Chapter 179: Mythological Stories
"I'm at a friend's house, I won't go back tonight, you don't have to worry! I still have something to do, so I'll hang up first!" Lu Chen is answering Lu Ming's phone now, just to not let the other party worry, since he has already told him, there is no need to say too much, he hasn't figured out Chen Xiaoman's matter here.
Chen Xiaoman heard Lu Chen's phone ringing, and then heard Lu Chen not knowing who he was talking to, was it his family, or did he already have a family? Her heart began to think crankily, and her heart became heavier and heavier.
Lu Chen, who hung up the phone, sat down next to Chen Xiaoman again, looking at Chen Xiaoman, who was still with his eyes closed, he didn't know what was going on, he had a good meal, how did he become like this when he came back.
"Are you really okay?" Lu Chen asked cautiously.
However, Chen Xiaoman didn't answer him, and still sat there like an ice beauty.
Lu Chen scratched his head, stood up helplessly, there was no way, Chen Xiaoman didn't say, he didn't want to ask again, it was better to go out first, find a place to sleep, and ask again tomorrow.
"If you're not feeling well, go to bed early, I'll go out first!" Lu Chen turned around and walked outside the house after saying this.
Chen Xiaoman waited for a long time and didn't see Lu Chen take any action, but he heard that he was going out, could it be that he was wrong? He didn't do all this to ....... Somewhat puzzled, she opened her eyes and saw that Lu Chen had already walked to the door, so she said loudly:
"You...... Wait a minute!" After speaking, she regretted it a little, at first she was worried that Lu Chen was not good for her, but when she left, she stopped him, what happened to her. In fact, she just wanted to find out what was going on, whether this Lu Chen was what she imagined.
"Huh?" Lu Chen, who was just about to walk out of the door, heard Chen Xiaoman calling himself, and couldn't help but stop, what the hell is this girl doing, she didn't pay attention to herself after asking a few times just now, she was about to go out, but she stopped herself, but she still turned around and walked back.
"You...... You're not ....... Chen Xiaoman felt that he couldn't ask this question.
"What?" Lu Chen looked at Chen Xiaoman's eyes and asked, he was really confused now.
Being stared at by Lu Chen so directly, Chen Xiaoman's face immediately turned red, and she didn't seem to dare to meet Lu Chen's gaze, she avoided Lu Chen's gaze and said softly:
"When will I see my father?"
"Oh, he really can't get out of the Nine Immortals Mountain now, there are some things I can't explain to you, but please trust me, I will bring him back, and after he recovers for a while. Lu Chen heard that Chen Xiaoman was asking Chen Aifei about it, so he said seriously.
This time, Chen Xiaoman did not escape Lu Chen's gaze, and stared at Lu Chen's eyes tightly when he answered herself, from these eyes, she did not see the meaning of deception and coping. She knew that maybe she really misunderstood Lu Chen, maybe he really wanted to stay with her for a while longer, and she also knew that she didn't get the answer she wanted from Lu Chen this time, so there was no need for her to stay here. But do you want to tell Lu Chen about the news that the Rossfeld family is looking for him, even if he doesn't tell them, with the influence of the Rosefeller family in the world, it is only a matter of time before they find Lu Chen, are they really just to see the painter himself? In such a short period of time, Chen Xiaoman's mind was running rapidly, and he had already thought about a lot of questions.
"Why don't you speak again?" Lu Chen rubbed his head helplessly, Chen Xiaoman tonight was a little different from usual, always wanting to speak and stopping.
"I also want to talk to you about your works!" Chen Xiaoman finally made up her mind, since Lu Chen didn't have that idea, and he believed in Lu Chen temporarily, then his father's affairs could only rely on him, and now when she talked about painting, she felt that she was not so nervous and uneasy.
"Oh, my paintings?" Chen Xiaoman's question was so hateful that Lu Chen was a little surprised, didn't he say that those works were not for sale, what did she mean by mentioning this question now!
"Can you tell me why you don't want others to know that those works are from you? I wish you had told me, I want to know why. Chen Xiaoman said seriously, she really wanted to know the reason, if Lu Chen needed help because of this, she would know where to help him.
Lu Chen didn't answer Chen Xiaoman in a hurry, and Chen Xiaoman didn't rush either, she knew that Lu Chen was thinking, and the answer after careful thinking might be the real reason.
Finally, Lu Chen raised his head and looked at Chen Xiaoman, this time he wanted to try again, if she could remember a little bit of what happened before, even if it was a little bit about Ji Qing.
"I used to say, we've known each other for a long time, do you remember?"
This time Chen Xiaoman did not answer in a hurry, but looked at Lu Chen quietly, after such a long period of contact, he felt that this man seemed to really have his own story, he used to think that Lu Chen was a fantasy, this time she wanted to hear what was going on, so Chen Xiaoman nodded lightly. Lu Chen knew that this was not an admission of the fact that he knew himself, but he wanted to hear himself continue.
"I don't know what happened to you, why you don't remember anything from before, but we're really not from this world, and of course it's hard to understand. Lu Chen paused and continued:
"When I woke up, I also found that I had come to this world, but I can clearly remember where I came from, but now I can't prove it, so I was also sent to a psychiatric hospital for a long time, where I met a person who was the same as me, that is, from the same world, his name was Li Haifeng, who had been in this world for more than ten years. While speaking, Lu Chen stood up, then walked in front of the large floor-to-ceiling window, looked at the distant night sky outside the window, was silent for a while, and spoke again with his back to Chen Xiaoman:
"I saw you on TV and I knew you were here. I'm starting to do everything I can to find you. Unfortunately, in this world, the gap between you and me is a little too big. Just when I was at a loss, I met you in Jiuxian Mountain, and I knew that this was my own arrangement. Even if you are looking for your father in this world, it is to give you peace of mind. So that one day we can return to the fairy world together. Now I'm looking for my way back, I was supposed to take you with me, but this world is not safe, and there are some that will threaten our existence, and the closer you get to the place where you go back, the more dangerous it is. So I can only hide myself, and I don't want more people to know about our existence. This is also for the good of you and me!Do you know?" This seems to be the most speech Lu Chen has spoken since he came to this world, maybe in front of others, he doesn't have so much to say, but in the face of Chen Xiaoman, facing Ji Qing in the fairy world, he can't hide too much.
Listening to Lu Chen's slow narration, Chen Xiaoman felt as if he was listening to a mythological story. What the hell is going on with this Lu Chen, how can the words he say be so untrue, what this world, that world, isn't it the same world they live in. No matter how you think about it, this seems like a ridiculous statement. She never liked myths and stories, because she knew that they were all about coaxing children, and her mother ran away from home when she was very young. She has also been sent to an aristocratic school in the United States, and she has not spent much time with her father, and no one has told her too many mythological stories, which makes her independent earlier than the average person.
"You...... Are you telling me a myth?"
