After an unknown period of time, or perhaps it was only a very short period of time, the noise outside stopped. It was not thunder, lightning, or rain at all. It was just the sound of firecrackers. The festive atmosphere reminded Meng Xiuming of his painful past. How ironic.
Perhaps it could be said that happiness was built on the pain of others. No one knew about irrelevant things, but Meng Xiuming somehow connected them together. Because, the root of all pain was that thunderstorm, that night of the fire that was close to death.
The cruel and beautiful time had disappeared just like that.
The truth was right in front of him. Reality was always a joke.
When Meng Xiu Ming opened his eyes again, he found that he was tightly hugged by Xiao Yu. The distance between the two was so close that when he raised his head, he could touch Xiao Yu's chin. Xiao Yu's eyes were tightly shut, and his long eyelashes left a beautiful arc on his eyes. How long had he been hugging him like this?
It was a moment of confusion and loss. Back then, Shen Chenchen had also hugged her like this, giving her warmth and making her lose herself. However, it was only for a moment. In the next moment, Meng Xiuming's face turned cold. He had told him not to go too far, but now he was hugging him without any distance?
"Hey, why did you push me away so hard?”Xiao Yu, who was still daydreaming, was pushed far away by Meng Xiuming. He squatted on the cold ground and was pushed from heaven to the real world.
Meng Xiu Ming got up, tidied up his clothes, and restored his indifferent face that had not changed for thousands of years, as if the person who had been torn apart by memories and stained with blood had nothing to do with him. He only asked Xiao Yu in a very funny manner,"Why are you hugging me? Didn't I tell you not to come near me?”
A look flashed across Xiao Yu's face. Was it helplessness, disbelief, or absurdity? He couldn't explain it himself, but asked tentatively,"Don't you know what just happened?”
With this question, the red-robed shadow killer Meng Xiu Ming's face fell. He had torn his own wound, and it was so painful that he was about to go crazy. It was Xiao Yu who accompanied him, giving her warmth and calming him down. He was originally reluctant to part with that warm embrace, but he stubbornly asked, why did he have to hug her? What a joke.
A hint of embarrassment flashed across Meng Xiuming's eyes as he said,""Don't think that you can control me just because you know where I'm weak. Let me tell you, when others find out where I'm weak and want to attack me, I will kill them with one strike. That way, they won't know where I'm weak. They will only know how strong I am and how fast my sword is.”Meng Xiuming's hand slid down Xiao Yu's shoulder all the way to his heart, and stopped,"Right here. In a moment, no one will know."”
Suddenly, that hand was grabbed tightly by another hand and placed on his chest. Meng Xiuming was shocked and wanted to pull his hand back, but that hand was grabbed too tightly by the other hand. It was impossible to pull it away.
"If you stab it, will it hurt here?”Xiao Yu looked at Meng Xiuming lovingly. Meng Xiuming's eyes slowly became misty and hazy.
How many people really cared about right and wrong?
In just a moment of confusion, a voice came from outside the door. Just as Xiao Yu was lost in thought, Meng Xiuming took the opportunity to pull back his hand and turned to leave. Xiao Yu said from behind,"Come back to my side. With Meng Xiu Ming's identity, come back to my side. I need you now.”
" I need you now," the words rang out behind Meng Xiu Ming. He didn't turn his head, nor did he nod or shake his head.
You should be back, right, Little Meng? Xiao Yu thought.
The door opened, and Xiao Jiu and Dongfang Mingyue walked in together. The red ghost-like figure had already left, and even the aura from before seemed to have disappeared. In the room, only Xiao Yu was sitting on the ground in a daze. His expression was very complicated. It was impossible to tell what he was thinking, but it was obvious that he was very conflicted and even had a trace of pain.
Dongfang Mingyue saw Xiao Yu squatting on the ground and hurried over to help him up. She asked with concern,"Brother Xiao, what's wrong? Why are you sitting on the ground?”
Xiao Yu came back to his senses and said awkwardly,"Oh, it's nothing. I just accidentally fell down just now."”
Hearing this, Dongfang Mingyue walked up to Xiao Yu and looked around him worriedly, saying,"Did you fall? Is it painful? Where did you fall? Hurry up and let me take a look.”
Xiao Yu was embarrassed by Dongfang Mingyue's stare and said,"It's okay, it's okay. I'll be fine after rubbing it myself. -- Right, Ming Yue, why are you looking for me now?”
"Oh." Only then did Dongfang Mingyue remember the purpose of her visit." After Grandma and I left just now, a servant told me that Brother Mingzhu has woken up, so I want to invite you over to see him.”Dongfang Mingyue's eyes swept over Xiao Yu again.”
"Oh, Young Master Ming Zhu is awake. That's great. Of course you can go.”Xiao Yu got up from the ground and said. He then said apologetically to Dongfang Mingyue,"Mingyue, why don't you go out first and wait for me to get dressed?”
Only then did Dongfang Mingyue realize that Xiao Yu had not put on his outer robe. She could not help but blush, as if the morning glow had flown onto her face. She was very shy, and she slowly left the room with her head lowered.
Seeing Dongfang Mingyue leave, Xiao Yu heaved a sigh of relief and said,"Xiao Jiu, have you prepared the things I asked you to prepare?”
"Yes, Young Master, I've already prepared.”Xiao Jiu replied.
Xiao Yu tidied up his clothes and said to Xiao Jiu,"Alright, let's go and see Young Master Dongfang.”
Dongfang Mingyue was still waiting outside the door. When Xiao Yu came out, Dongfang Mingyue saw the box in Xiao Jiu's hand and said,"Xiao Jiu, what did you take?"
"It's a pastry that my young master specially prepared for Young Master Dongfang.”Xiao Jiu said.
Dongfang Mingyue did not ask any more questions. She only looked at the box curiously, then brought Xiao Yu and Xiao Jiu to the room of the Oriental Pearl Tower. Before they entered, a voice came from the room.
"I don't want to drink, I don't want to drink, Grandma. I'm not possessed, I'm not possessed. "shouted a panicked and incoherent voice.
"Mingzhu, drink this bowl of medicine and you'll be fine. Be good and drink it.”Old Madam Dongfang said.
"No, no, this medicine is poisonous. It will kill me. Grandma, I don't want to drink it.”The Oriental Pearl said in fear.
"Drink it, Ming Zhu." Old Madam Dongfang rebuked angrily. She held the bowl of medicine and approached the Oriental Pearl Tower step by step. The Oriental Pearl Tower was like a frightened little beast, trembling in the corner.
"No." The Oriental Pearl Tower smashed the bowl of medicine, shattering it into pieces. Brown medicine flowed under Old Madam Dongfang's feet.
Dongfang Mingyue and Xiao Yu walked in together. When Old Madam Dongfang, who was about to get angry, saw the two of them, she suppressed the anger that had just ignited. When the Oriental Pearl saw Dongfang Mingyue, she shouted,"Little sister, little sister, save me."
Old Madam Dongfang looked at Xiao Yu and said sadly,"I've made a fool of myself in front of young master Xiao. My grandson Ming Zhu always refuses to drink medicine. As her grandmother, I have no choice.”
Dongfang Mingyue sat by the bed and comforted him,""Brother, don't be afraid. Look, Young Master Xiao is here to see you. He is the number one divine doctor in the world, Young Master Mingyue.”It was as gentle as coaxing a child.
The Oriental Pearl followed Dongfang Mingyue's gaze and looked at Xiao Yu. She stumbled down from the bed and grabbed Xiao Yu's sleeve, saying,"Young Master Xiao, I'm really not possessed, really not. I don't want to drink medicine, no, no.”
"Mingyue, quickly help your brother up!" Old Madam Dongfang said angrily.”
Xiao Yu waved his hand and said,"Young Master Dongfang, don't be afraid. I will cure you."”
The Oriental Pearl Tower nodded stiffly. Xiao Yu helped him to sit down by the bed and said with a smile,"I know that Young Master Dongfang likes a kind of pastry, so I brought some. I wonder if it's the kind that Young Master likes.”"Xiao Jiu."”
Xiao Jiu understood and walked over. When he opened the box, the unique fragrance of the pastry wafted out. It was shaped like plum blossoms and as white as snow. Xiao Yu took out a piece and said, Young Master Dongfang, try it."
Oriental Pearl took it with a trembling hand and took a small bite. Her eyes welled up with tears as she stammered,"This is the taste, this is the taste. It's just like the taste my mother made for me when I was young.”
"Since you like it, eat slowly.”Xiao Yu still accompanied Young Master Dongfang very patiently, as if he was coaxing a frightened child. Young Master Dongfang quietly ate the pastries.
The Oriental Pearl TV Tower ate the pastries while crying. It was a heart-wrenching scene. It was like a motherless child being warmed by someone. Slowly, slowly, the Oriental Pearl TV Tower fell asleep quietly without crying or making a fuss.
Dongfang Mingyue covered the Oriental Pearl Tower with a blanket and looked at her brother's sleeping face. Her worried heart finally relaxed a little.
Old Madam Dongfang, please wait." Xiao Yu called out from outside the door. Old Madam Dongfang stopped when she heard him.”
"Oh, have you been taking care of Young Master Dongfang all this time? I can see that you've been working hard.”Xiao Yu said.
"Mingzhu is my grandson. My son is busy with court affairs and has no time to take care of him. Therefore, ever since Mingzhu fell ill, I have been taking care of him.”
"I should be enjoying my old age and enjoying the good times with my children and grandchildren, but I let an old man like you work hard for the family.”
Old Madam Dongfang looked into the distance and said faintly,""Fate should be like this." After saying that, he walked around the long corridor and left. Xiao Yu looked at the back of Old Madam Dongfang and fell into deep thought.
This Old Madam Dongfang was graceful and elegant, and she looked strong on the outside but was weak on the inside. She was not like the other old ladies of ordinary families. Although she lived in seclusion, there was a heroic spirit and an unyielding personality between her brows. What would she be unwilling to accept?
