Seven Unfortunate Lifetimes Chapter 52 (1/2)

Chapter 52 Lu Hai Kong’s special

Another night that snow didn’t rest.

The carbon in the fire pot slowly burned, making the room warm.

Lu Hai Kong frowned and slowly opened his eyes. The right eye is muddy, the left eye is clear. There’s always a side that’s dark in his world.

He blinked to disperse the sleepiness. The first hangover in his life. It made the inexperienced him have a splitting headache.

Lu Hai Kong rubbed his forehead and sat up.

“Woken up?”

A woman’s gentle voice sounded in his ears. For a moment Lu Hai Kong was startled. In the past, only Yun Xiang will stay by his side at this time. Lu Hai Kong was lost in his thoughts. Before he looked up and saw who the person is, a pair of soft hands like they didn’t have bones, pressed his temples. Gentle they ma.s.sage him.

“Next time don’t drink so much. The one who will be suffering is still yourself.”

It’s not Yun Xiang……Yun Xiang will only pat his head and scold him: “Brat, the good things you don’t learn. What, drink wine? You deserve to have a headache.”

Moreover, now it’s impossible for Yun Xiang to be by his side……

With one movement, he shoved away the woman’s hands. Lu Hai Kong looked coldly at her: “Has n.o.body told you? Not allowed to just enter my room and also don’t touch me.”

The person is Lu Lan’s G.o.ddaughter named Lu Xin. She is a gentle woman.

The moment she heard those words from Lu Hai Kong, she froze. She retrieved her hands and with some helplessness and stood by the bed.

“I’m sorry, it’s G.o.dfather who lets me come. He said you got drunk last night and to let me take care of you here. Just now…..I just wanted to make you feel more comfortable.”

He didn’t know how to answer.

Lu Hai Kong rubbed his forehead. In his head couldn’t help but pop out a figure. It has a little anger on it and jumped next to his ear: “Don’t let to touch? Will you break if you get touched a little? Come, let me see if you’ll really break.”

He said a sentence. Almost without thinking, in his mind, he will get the answer of that person. It’s like maggots in his bones, making him unable to remove it.

Lu Hai Kong only feels defeated. He lost to the haunting person in his heart. Or maybe in front of her, he has never won.

Lu Hai Kong covered his face and sighed: “You should get out. In the future……don’t freely come in my room. No matter who say it, it’s still forbidden.”

Lu Xin hung her head full of injustice. She was silent for a while before she whispered: “There’s porridge on the table. I made it last night. It has been simmering on the fire. You should eat a little……”

If he eats it, Yun Xiang will probably get angry. Yun Xiang temper has always been bad, besides she gets jealous really easily.

Lu Hai Kong did as if he didn’t hear her words and only coldly said: “Get out.”

Lu Xin bit her lips. In the end, she went out.

Lu Hai Kong got of his bed and wore his shoes. He washed simply, put on armor and went out.

Outside, the snow is flying all over the sky and sprinkled on the ground, making it silver.

Lu Hai Kong frowned invisibly. Yesterday, the snow also sprinkled like this. Last year’s yesterday, the snow also sprinkled like this. The snow took away Yun Xiang and also buried her.

Lu Hai Kong’s footstep went to the training grounds. It’s already been a year since Yun Xiang left the world. There’s emptiness in his heart. He learned to fill it with something else. He listened to Yun Xiang. He will live this lifetime well. He will use all his efforts to stay alive. He doesn’t want to betray Yun Xiang’s last wish.

Time pa.s.sed away lightly. Three years pa.s.sed away. Lu Hai Kong finished the hairpin rite. Lu Lan called him to the study: “Hai Kong, you know I trust you, but now the fight with the court turned more intense. When you go to war, you like to take great risk……”

Lu Hai Kong said: “If uncle has something to say, say it directly.”

Lu Lan was silent for a moment and sighed: “I, an old man, it’s not good to say too much. These few years, I also have urged it several times. Now, you already did the hairpin rite, but you don’t even have a concubine. It’s not that I’m forcing you to get married, but you should at least leave a descendant for your parents and also to comfort their spirits.”

Lu Hai Kong looked at the ground and didn’t speak.

“Can you not see that G.o.ddaughter of mine Lu Xin’s mind? She waited for you so many years. She’s nearly becoming and old maid!”

Lu Lan sighed.

“I know who you still miss in your heart, but Song Yun Xiang is already gone. So many years has pa.s.sed, you should also put it down.”

“Uncle.”

Lu Hai Kong looked at Lu Lan and laughed bitterly: “The promise between Song Yun Xiang and Lu Hai Kong is not a thing to hold in the palms of the hands. She is wrapped in my bones. Now, uncle wants me to put it down. Does uncle want me cut out all of my bones and become a crippled person?”

Lu Lan was slightly angry: “You, this kid!”

“Lu Hai Kong has never picked up Song Yun Xiang and is more not qualified to put her down.”

After saying that, he bowed deeply to Lu Lan.

“Uncle, sorry. That Lu Xin lady, you should advise her to marry another.”

After talking to Lu Lan, Lu Hai Kong didn’t return to his room. He turned and went to the little yard where Yun Xiang used to live.

The furnis.h.i.+ng here is the same as before. Not even a half point has been moved. Only the breath of that person has disappeared.

Lu Hai Kong quietly lay on the couch. He curled himself. Suddenly he remembered that time when they were on their way to the north; he had nightmares ever night. Yun Xiang patted his back then again and again to comfort him.

In fact Lu Hai Kong knows; every night she didn’t sleep well. He hated the him who couldn’t get out of the nightmare. He also felt sorry for Yun Xiang. After, he couldn’t stop himself from being more dependent on her.

The feelings he has for Yun Xiang are feelings between a man and a woman. There’s also many things mixed beside the feelings of a man and a woman. In this life, there’s no one who can replace those things.

A bunch of frantic footsteps came to the little lard. Lu Hai Kong’s heart tightened. He sat up. His reminscing expression instantly disappeared.

With a “zhi ya” sound, the door was pushed open by someone. Lu Xin stood at the door and looked in the room for a while. Her feet were about to come in, Lu Hai Kong coldly stopped her: “Don’t move.”

He got off the couch and walked to Lu Xin.

“If you have something to say, say it outside.”

He didn’t want to let anything to destroy the quietness in this room.

Lu Xin stared at him with red eyes. The always docile her seemed to not have heard Lu Hai Kong’s words. She hung her head and asked: “G.o.dfather say……you let me to marry another.”

Lu Hai Kong frowned: “Talk outside.”

His heels wanted to head out of the room, but his hand has been grabbed by Lu Xin who stood at the doorway.

“I can not have a t.i.tle. I just want to be by your side. Hai Kong, don’t drive me away, alright?”

“Don’t quarrel here, Yun Xiang will be angry.”

This sentence is like opening the scar on Lu Xin’s chest. She looked at Lu Hai Kong.

Tears flowed to outside: “Why is it Song Yun Xiang again?! Why up to now, are you still aboding to the rules she left?! Hai Kong, be a little more sober. Look carefully, there’s no Song Yun Xiang by your side anymore. She gone……she’s already gone…..”

After her last words, Lu Xin couldn’t make any sounds. Perhaps, she also knew that that speech simply can’t shake the position of Yun Xiang in Lu Hai Kong’s heart.

Lu Hai Kong shook away Lu Xin’s hand that was holding his hand. He said softly: “Yun Xiang has never left me any rules. I also know she is gone.”

“Why do you have to preserve?!”

Lu Xin wept: “It’s alright if you don’t like me, but why…… do you want me to lose to a dead person? So not willing……”
