Chapter 39 Liu Shuai Recalled His Father (1/2)

”Who? Zhang Quan? ” I was shocked by Liu Shuai's look, ”It may be a work accident or accidental injury? Don't worry, anyone can get hurt, like you … ”

”It's not the same!” Liu Shuai shouted, scaring the passersby. Looking at Liu Shuai's crazy look, they walked far away from us. Without caring about the passersby, Liu Shuai said, ”He used to be my master. He has the protection of the Two Elements Dust Array. How could he get hurt? He taught me so many skills through dreams, saying that I would be able to live my life in peace with those abilities. How could he get injured? ”

I knew that Liu Shuai worried about his master, but I didn’t expect that this Sichuan guy, who always argued with Zhang Quan, would actually care so much about his ”cheap master”. I immediately comforted him, ”Don’t worry. How about we take alook first?”

Liu Shuai wiped his tears. He also felt that he had lost control of himself and frowned without saying a word. I felt troubled just thinking about it. What the hell was this? We hoped that Zhuang Quan could protect Zhou Yuan, but it turned out that Zhuang Quan was injured. Now the situation was difficult for us, Liu Shuai would feel bad if we did not go to see Zhang Quan, while both of us would feel sorry if we did not go to save Zhou Yuan.

While we were in silence, Liu Shuai received a WeChat message. It was from Zhang Quan, ”Don't worry. The hand string will start to protect Zhou Yuan within an hour. Someone will come to you later. Don’t come to see me. I will be fine even if you don’t visit me. If you come, I will have a hard time. Don’t forget my words.”

”What does he mean?” Liu Shuai was a little confused. He looked at me, and I did not understand either. Liu Shuai decided to make a call to ask, but I stopped him, ”Since Zhang Quan has said so, we should better keep clam and wait.”

Seeing that it was still early, I dragged Liu Shuai to a coffee shop and ordered two drinks. Liu Shuai felt annoyed and was unwilling to sit inside, so I followed him to sat on the chair outside.

Liu Shuai blankly watched the bubbles in his cup, did not say a word. This was the first time he was so silent, I knew that his mind was in turmoil, but I did not know how to persuade him.

”Since I could remember things, I have known that I am different from others.” Liu Shuai suddenly started to speak. This was the first time I heard his story. Liu Shuai continued watching the bubbles, as though he had fallen into deep thoughts. “Other children were accompanied by their mom and dad when they went to school, but only my mom came to pick me up.”

”When I was young, I always got full marks in every exam. The children who did not do well in the exam worried about being punished by their fathers.” Liu Shuai said as he gave a bitter laugh, ”But every time they worried, I would envy them so much. At least they could see their fathers when they went home, even if their fathers were angry because of their exam results.”

“There was one time that I deliberately got a bad exam result and showed it my mom. She frowned when she saw it. At that time, I had a feeling that my father would suddenly appear and beat me up, telling me that he had been secretly observing me in all these years, and would come out to beat me up if I couldn't do well in exam.” Liu Shuai stopped there. I could see his Adam's apple rolling up and down, ”But there's nothing, only my mom's tears of disappointment.”

”Did your mother tell you about your father?” When I asked that, I found out it’s a stupid question because Liu Shuai had once said that his father disappeared after he was born.

Liu Shuai shook his head, ”Never. It's just that in my dreams, there was a man telling me that he's my father, and forbade me to tell anyone about it. At first, I thought I became crazy because I wanted to have a dad so badly, but then he started teaching me things in my dreams, while the timing was so uncertain, sometimes he would come for a few days, sometimes he didn’t come for a few years. After I practiced, I discovered that I had some abilities that others didn’t have, and one time I helped my mother … ”
