Chapter 46: What's Missing
Putting Gu Xiaolei on the bed, covering the quilt, and then turning off the light in the bedroom, Gu Yuan returned to the living room, facing the second uncle and aunt with an anxious face and Gu Chuxue, he took a sip of tea and told what he had experienced before.
At first, when they heard that Gu Xiaolei had encountered a monster, the second aunt and Gu Chuxue turned pale with fright, but when a complete story was explained, their expressions were also a little moved.
"That'...... Then Xiao Lei is fine, right? The second aunt said worriedly.
As a mother, she cares most about her children.
"The people from the Demon Town Division told me that Xiao Lei will be fine when he wakes up." Gu Yuan said, "However, he will forget everything that happened before, and all memories related to the cardinal will be erased, but this will not affect his life." ”
"That'...... Then, none of us are allowed to mention today's events! The second aunt said immediately.
After speaking, he looked at the second uncle.
On weekdays, the second aunt has the final say on all matters in the family, and there is a veto power, but when it comes to major matters in the real sense, the second aunt still has to ask the second uncle's opinion.
Gu Jianshan's expression looked a little serious.
He was silent for a moment and said, "So be it." ”
Get up with that.
"It's so late, where are you going?" The second aunt hurriedly asked.
"The driver who caused the drunk drive hasn't been dealt with yet, I have to go over." Gu Jianshan snorted coldly, "Fortunately, Xiao Lei is fine, otherwise he ......"
Speaking of this, he suddenly stopped talking, and his expression was extremely unnatural.
After all, it was the monster who saved Gu Xiaolei who should have been shouted and beaten by everyone.
He was also a little overwhelmed.
After all, in the world of ordinary people, demons are heinous existences.
When the second uncle left, Gu Yuan also took a shower and returned to the room to rest under the urging of the second aunt.
The atmosphere at home is indeed a little dull, originally Gu Chuxue was still clamoring to go to her grandmother's house to live, but now it seems that there is no need for this.
Lying on the bed, the room was dark, and the faint light poured on the bed through the window, Gu Yuan folded his hands together and pillowed under his head, thinking about what happened today, his mind was a mess.
Demons are the root of all evil.
This concept had long been ingrained in Gu Yuan's heart, and he had never doubted it.
Destroying demons should be the responsibility of every human race, and it should be the case at all times.
But the appearance of the cardinal had a great impact on Gu Yuan, he couldn't say who was right and who was wrong, but this incident made Gu Yuan realize the complexity of this world, and even what he understood now was only the tip of the iceberg of this complex world.
After tossing and turning for a long time, Gu Yuan finally fell asleep.
The next morning, when he got up, he saw that Gu Xiaolei was already sitting at the dining table eating breakfast, and the second aunt was still drying clothes, and she didn't go to work today.
Gu Yuan guessed that the second aunt might not be at ease with Gu Xiaolei.
"Brother, you're awake!"
Gu Yuan was slightly stunned, looking at Gu Xiaolei with a bright smile on his face, he was in a trance for a moment, as if everything that happened last night was just a dream, and he was still very moved after waking up for a long time......
He sat beside Gu Xiaolei and looked carefully.
Gu Xiaolei pushed the soy milk poured into the cup in front of Gu Yuan, turned his face and looked at each other.
"Brother, what's wrong?"
"No, it's okay......" Gu Yuan shook his head.
Looking at Gu Xiaolei's appearance, it seems that he really doesn't remember what happened last night.
It's just that.
Gu Yuan still has no way of determining whether this is a good thing or a bad thing for Gu Xiaolei.
Gu Xiaolei took a sip of soy milk, wiped his hands, and said, "You are all very strange today. ”
"What?"
"Just the way you looked at me just now, I got up this morning, my mother looked at me like this, my dad looked at me like this when he went out, even Gu Chuxue looked at me like this." Gu Xiaolei frowned and said, "I always feel that something is wrong, but I can't say it." ”
"Could it be because you woke up too early today?" Gu Yuan asked tentatively.
Gu Xiaolei immediately showed an expression of sudden realization.
"That's right! It's summer vacation now, and I usually have to sleep until 10 o'clock! As he spoke, Gu Xiaolei also showed an expression of sudden realization on his face, and the pre-existing doubts were instantly dispelled, and it seemed that everything became reasonable.
Gu Yuan was eating breakfast while knocking on the side.
"What time did you go to bed last night?"
"What time is it? Think about it...... It seems like nine o'clock, right? I took a shower and slept after buying vinegar, and somehow, I was very sleepy last night. ”
Gu Yuan nodded lightly.
This demon clan is really powerful, and the memory will be erased when it is erased.
After breakfast, Gu Yuan said hello to his second aunt and prepared to go out.
"Brother, I'll go out with you!" Gu Xiaolei hurriedly followed.
"You are not allowed to go out!" The second aunt, who was still busy on the balcony, hurriedly said.
"Mom, I'm going out to buy reference books, tasks assigned by school. Also, I made an appointment with my classmates to go together. Gu Xiaolei explained.
The second aunt was a little at a loss.
"Wait...... Wait for Mom to go out and buy it for you. ”
Gu Xiaolei had a question mark on his face.
"It's okay, second aunt, let Xiao Lei go out with me." Gu Yuan knew what the second aunt was worried about.
But Gu Xiaolei is a normal person, and it is impossible to never go out.
The second aunt's eyes were complicated, but she still nodded.
When he went downstairs, Gu Xiaolei was still muttering.
"Brother, what do you say is wrong with my mother?"
"Maybe I'm afraid you've been out there for too long." Gu Yuan said calmly.
Gu Xiaolei nodded, and didn't think about whether this was reasonable or not.
"By the way, brother, where are you going?"
"Town...... A friend that. ”
"Oh......"
Walking to the door of the community, Gu Yuan suddenly thought of something and asked, "The classmate you dated, is it Yu Yang?" ”
"It's not." Gu Xiaolei shook his head, "Yu Yang...... I don't know what's wrong, I suddenly don't want to be friends with Yu Yang. ”
Gu Yuan was slightly stunned, and hurriedly said, "What's the matter?" You and Yu Yang, aren't you very good? ”
"I don't know! It's just that I suddenly don't want to play with him. Gu Xiaolei blinked his eyes, "I wonder too." ”
Gu Yuan's face was a little not good.
Immediately, he found Gu Xiaolei stop and looked directly across the road.
"What's wrong?" Gu Yuan asked, "What about the bus stop in front, aren't you going to the bookstore?" ”
"Brother, look at that."
"Huh?"
"I just think, that girl, look so good!" Gu Xiaolei had a smile on his face.
Gu Yuan followed Gu Xiaolei's gaze and looked across the road, all he could see was a back, walking lightly.
The red dress, gently blown by the summer wind, is particularly eye-catching.
However, that's not a cardinal.
Gu Yuan turned his face and looked at Gu Xiaolei, there were tears on the young man's face at this time.
"Brother, I don't know why, I feel as if something is suddenly missing, and I don't know, what is missing, it's so uncomfortable......" He wiped his tears and looked at Gu Yuan, his eyes flashing with tears.
Gu Yuan gently patted Gu Xiaolei's back and did not answer.
