As she stepped on the path, she would see a smiling face that was brighter than a flower. The little girl who had vowed to be the best in the world was waiting for her at the end of the path.
Senior Brother, you're late." The little girl complained unhappily," The punishment is to practice your sword with me quickly.”
"Little Seven, you came too early. Look, the sun hasn't risen yet.”the little boy said.
"Only by working hard can you practice your sword art better and be on par with Shixiong.”the little girl said.
"Junior Sister, there's nothing good about being the number one in the world. When the time comes, you'll really regret it.”The little boy said helplessly.
Actually, World's Best was very outstanding, but at the same time, he was very lonely.
The girl was still so stubborn. The boy could only helplessly accompany her. However, beautiful times were so short. In an instant, the scene changed.
The deafening thunder, the pouring rain, and the raging fire. The rain couldn't extinguish the burning fire, and the fire just burned like a raging tiger. The boy stood outside the door and watched the uncontrollable fire raging on the rainy night.
The children with fluttering skirts were swallowed by the fire. The blooming flowers were burned. The houses and trees were burning. Everything was swallowed by the fire.
He had been holding the girl's hand, but now his hand was empty. There was nothing.
The girl was crying. She was crying so sadly. She was crying in the fire, but there was nothing he could do. He wanted to hold her, but he realized that he could not catch anything.
"Little Seven." Xiao Yu woke up from his dream. That fire was so real. It had been burning in his heart for ten years, a lingering nightmare.
Xiao Jiu walked in with a bowl of hot porridge." Young Master, did you have a nightmare again?”
Xiao Yu opened his eyes, still feeling very depressed in his chest. Seeing Xiao Jiu walk in, he stood up and said with a bitter smile,"This nightmare has been haunting me for many years. Even if I'm a divine doctor, I can't get rid of this nightmare.”
Xiao Jiu hurriedly rushed over and helped Xiao Yu up, saying,"Young Master, this nightmare will soon disappear. Are you feeling better now?”
Xiao Yu's face regained some color, but he was still very weak. His eyelids were half drooping, and he looked very listless. Xiao Jiu whimpered,"It's all my fault. It's all my fault for not taking good care of Young Master and causing Young Master to be poisoned. Xiao Jiu deserves to die.”
Xiao Yu forced a smile and said,"Little Jiu, this isn't your fault. It's just that this murderer is too cunning. By the way, according to common sense, I shouldn't be able to move. Why do I feel much better?”
"Yes, yes, Young Master Meng found the antidote." Xiao Jiu stammered.”
Little Meng, when Little Jiu mentioned Meng Xiuming again, Xiao Yu's eyes unconsciously looked out of the window and asked,"How did he get the antidote?"
"It's the Seven Stars Hall's Jade Dew Pill."
Xiao Yu was shocked. He stared at Xiao Jiu and said," He barged into the Seven Stars Hall's forbidden area?"
Xiao Jiu nodded. Xiao Yu asked worriedly,"How is he now?"
"Young Master Meng is fine. He's doing very well. After he gave me the medicine, he left.”Xiao Jiu said.
Xiao Yu thought that Meng Qixing would not make things difficult for Meng Xiuming. Otherwise, Meng Xiuming would have died long ago. Even so, Xiao Yu was still very worried. Didn't they say that they had no feelings for each other? Why would he take the risk to find the antidote? Why was he always unwilling to admit it and enduring it so bitterly?
"Brother Xiao." The Oriental Pearl Tower walked in with a face full of self-blame." Are you feeling better?”
Old Madam Dongfang also rushed over.
"I asked Grandma to come along to see how Brother Xiao is doing.”The Oriental Pearl said.
Old Madam Dongfang saw Xiao Yu's condition and said,"It seems that young master Xiao is really blessed by the heavens. The heavens have blessed you, your poison has almost been cleaned up.”
"So Old Furen is so proficient in medicine, then why didn't you treat your grandson?" Xiao Yu said with a smile.”
" I'm helpless against Mingzhu's poison," Old Madam Dongfang said faintly." I've tried many medicines, but none of them worked. Otherwise, I wouldn't have sent Young Master Xiao here and let him suffer such a calamity."”
"It doesn't matter how Xiao Yu is, but Xiao Yu was unable to find out the cause of Young Master Dongfang's illness and was unable to prescribe the right medicine.”Xiao Yu blamed himself.
"It's been hard on young master Xiao. You're still thinking about your grandson. I think young master Xiao should take a good rest first. When your condition is better, you can come out and treat your grandson.”Old Madam Dongfang ordered.
Although Dongfang Mingyue was very reluctant, she still helped Old Madam Dongfang away. Before she left, she was reluctant to part with Xiao Yu.
"Young Master, I feel that this Old Madam Dongfang is very strange.”Xiao Jiu said after Old Madam Dongfang and Dongfang Mingyue disappeared.
"I think she's very strange. It seems that she's not in a hurry for me to treat her grandson, the Oriental Pearl."”
"I've checked. Dongfang Mingzhu is not the biological grandson of Old Madam Dongfang, but she has always treated Dongfang Mingzhu very well."”
"He's not my biological grandson. What do you mean?”Xiao Yu asked.
" Assistant Minister Dongfang's mother died thirty years ago. Old Madam Dongfang is Master Dongfang's second mother, but Master Dongfang has always treated Old Madam Dongfang as his own mother. Naturally, Oriental Pearl is Old Madam Dongfang's grandson. Naturally, she is not his biological grandson.”Xiao Jiu said.
"Little Jiu, what else do you know about this Old Madam Dongfang?”Xiao Yu asked.
"This Old Madam Dongfang is very fond of studying medicine. Ever since Old Master Dongfang died, she did not ask too much about the matters in the residence. She only came out when she knew that something had happened to Young Master Dongfang.”Xiao Jiu said.
"Looks like you've recovered quite well. Are you concerned about Old Madam Dongfang again?”Meng Xiuming flew in through the window, his expression not looking too good.
"Little Meng." Xiao Yu called out very gently,"Are you alright?"”
Xiao Jiu tactfully retreated.
"I'm fine. Aren't I standing here? But why are you, the mighty Young Master Xiao, lying here like a patient? Oh, no, you're a patient.”Meng Xiuming said.
"I've already been harmed to this extent, and you still have the mood to joke around. How heartless.”Xiao Yu said.
"I'm indeed heartless, because we don't need feelings. However, no matter what, you can always be open-minded. You always face everything that happens in life with a smile.”Meng Xiu Ming stared at Xiao Yu and said. He didn't call him Young Master Ming Yue, but directly called him by his name.
"It's not that you're heartless, but your feelings are all in your heart. Actually, you can do it too, right?”Xiao Yu said.
"My identity is destined that I can't be as carefree as you. I can't be as happy as you. I'm destined to be an unhappy person.”Meng Xiuming said.
Xiao Yu saw the sorrow in Meng Xiuming's eyes. Who said he didn't have feelings? Otherwise, why would he be sad?
Xiao Yu said,"Little Meng, you're sad, which means you have feelings too. Why do you have to suppress your feelings? You like me, right?"”
Meng Xiu Ming shouted angrily," Young Master Ming Yue, please understand. I am the red-robed shadow killer Meng Xiu Ming. I am a cold-blooded and heartless killer. I will not fall in love with anyone, even if you are the number one young master Ming Yue.”
"Being the number one in the world is actually very empty and lonely. Didn't you want to be the number one in the world all your life? Now that you've done it, are you happy, Little Seven?”Xiao Yu said with infinite pity.
"These are not questions that you should be concerned about. You should be concerned about yourself.”Meng Xiuming said.
"I'm concerned about you, Little Meng." Xiao Yu said.
"No need. I'm fine. I don't need your concern.”Meng Xiuming said.
"You hate ear-splitting sounds, you hate the cold river water, but you're wearing red clothes. It's as if a burning fire is tightly surrounding your cold heart. I know that you must be very uncomfortable, right?”Xiao Yu asked.
"How did you know?" Meng Xiuming asked.
"The first time, when I asked you to save Lady Thirteen of Yellow Flower, you saw the cold river water and trembled. The second time was when we met the two female assassins in the Drunken Moon Restaurant. When we heard the shocking thunder, you still trembled slightly.”Xiao Yu said gently.
"You're very meticulous.”Meng Xiuming said. His heart softened slightly. Shen Chenchen had also carefully discovered his identity and his fragility. However, Meng Xiuming could only seal Shen Chenchen's feelings now.
"I'm always very concerned about your matters.”Xiao Yu said with a smile.
As a cold-blooded and heartless killer, Xiao Yu had a handle on him. It was really troublesome. He was afraid of cold water and thunder.
"Then I really have to thank Young Master Xiao.”Meng Xiuming said.
"Since you're thanking me, why won't you tell me the truth? You like me, right?”Xiao Yu asked very mischievously. Although doing so would easily enrage Meng Xiuming again, he still said it.
Meng Xiuming stared at Xiao Yu and didn't speak for a long time. Xiao Yu's words seemed to be very light, but they touched the gentlest part of Meng Xiuming's heart. No one had ever touched that place, and no one dared to touch it. If they weren't careful, they would bleed. Meng Xiuming didn't get angry. Just as he was about to walk over, he suddenly realized what he was doing. Was he trying to get close to Xiao Yu?
His slowly approaching footsteps came to an abrupt halt. He could not get any closer. Xiao Yu was a dangerous person, and he would be covered in wounds. He did not want to experience the injuries he had experienced before again.
"From now on, you have to protect yourself. You have to learn to pick up weapons to protect yourself. Anyone who poses a danger to you, either kill them or don't get close.”Shang Yunshi said to Meng Xiuming.
Just as Meng Xiuming was about to approach Xiao Yu, Shang Yunshi's words kept echoing in Meng Xiuming's mind,"Don't get close to any dangerous people. Don't have any feelings for dangerous people, or you'll be the one getting hurt. Do you understand?"”
Meng Xiuming covered his head and tried his best not to think about it. However, Shang Yunshi's face kept appearing in Meng Xiuming's mind, and those words kept appearing.
Meng Xiuming's entire body was trembling. He seemed to be in great pain. Xiao Yu quickly ran down from the bed and grabbed Meng Xiuming's swaying body. He tightly grabbed his arm and anxiously asked,"Little Meng, Little Meng."
Meng Xiuming was still trembling. His arm was tightly held by Xiao Yu, and he couldn't even see Xiao Yu's face clearly. Xiao Yu pulled Meng Xiuming into his arms. That hug was so warm, so warm, just like the last time he hugged Shen Chenchen in the tunnel. He was a little reluctant to leave.
Xiao Yu's heart was beating fast, playing the most beautiful music in the world.
"Little Seven." Xiao Yu's voice choked up,"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it's all my fault. Ten years ago, I didn't protect you well, and ten years later, I still let you get hurt."”
Meng Xiu Ming slowly raised his head and saw that Xiao Yu's eyebrows were so delicate, his eyes were bright, and he was as beautiful as jade, but that face was something he couldn't touch.
With a push, Meng Xiu Ming still pushed Xiao Yu away. This was a quagmire, a quagmire that once he jumped in, he would never be able to come out again. Since he knew, he couldn't jump in. He couldn't let his emotions affect him anymore because he was Meng Xiuming, because he was the red-robed Shadowthorn.
Then, Xiao Yu, give up.
