Chapter 42 An Affectionate Man And A Deep Affection (2/2)
At this time, Liu Shuai's face was filled with suspicion again, but he forced himself to hold it in when he saw my sights and said to Li Long Fei, “Go on.”
”The Immortal Tying Rope did explode in the dining hall, and in that instant, Zhang Quan used all his mana to reverse the Two Elements Dust Array to the extreme, thus enveloping the destructive power of the treasure. But the distance Zhang Quan controlled was too small while backlash from the explosion was too strong, so the aftermath exploded Zhang Quan unconscious.” Seeing Liu Shuai became clear-headed and did not ask more questions, Li Long Fei explained a lot, ”But when we sent him to the hospital, he woke up when he lay on the sickbed, just not able to move his body temporarily, but before the doctor gave him a check-up last night, he had already been able to move freely. The flesh wounds are not a problem for him at all.”
”Then why can't he move ?” Liu Shuai could not help but ask.
”It's not that he can’t. It’s that he doesn't want to.” Li Long Fei pondered for a moment before finding the right words to say.
“He doesn't want to?” Liu Shuai became even more confused, ”Why not?”
Liu Shuai was still confused, but I had found the answer. Zhang Quan appeared to be a little muddle-headed, but he was extremely shrewd on some issues. Thus, I tentatively ask Li Long Fei, ”Is it because of Li Xiao Hua?”
”Exactly, Brother Hao Ning, you are really smart!” Li Long Fei fiercely slapped the table with too much strength, causing our cups to overturn. The water in the cups poured out, and just as it was about to flow onto my body, Long Fei immediately flipped his hand, and the water seemed to obediently return to the cups. Long Fei made an apologetic gesture and continued praising, ”Did you make another divination? Your divining skill is really formidable! ”
“It’s not any divining skill at all,”I smiled bitterly. Long Fei had a very interesting power. He was very skilled of controlling water. I looked at Liu Shuai, but he still did not understand. Thus, I explained, ”If Zhang Quan is able to move but is unwilling to do so, then there must be some benefits from not moving. Considering his situation in the factory, lying on the bed gives nothing more than a few benefits. Firstly, he doesn't have to work. Secondly, he can receive compensations for his work injuries. Thirdly, there might be a crying Li Xiao Hua who takes care of him day and night, and she even has to water and feed him.”
”That's right,” Long Fei nodded his head quickly, and his eyes lit up as he looked at me, ”Master Zhang Quan also said so. He said ‘If I'm going to be like this, then Xiao Hua will keep feeding me, while I don't even need to go back to the assembly line. It is even better than being an immortal.’ You have a nice catch. Could you tell me how to learn this divination technique?”
“That’s not divination. It is logic.” Liu Shuai had thought it through at this time. Thinking about his previous crazy attitude, he felt a little embarrassed, ”Hao Ning has a very strong logical thinking ability amongst all of my friends. But Hao Ning, you should have guessed it already, don’t you? It’s just that I was a little -”
”You will be lost if you're concerned,” I explained for Liu Shuai, “I felt a little bit strange when you had that video call with Zhang Quan. Although he was covered with wounds and was bandaged, his voice didn't sound like a patient at all. Besides, he was able to send you a message within a very short period, and considering Long Fei’s attitude when he came here, I knew that Zhang Quan should basically be fine. He pretended his situation. But I haven't figured out why he's pretending so until Long Fei told us the story. ”
”What story?” Long Fei had a curious expression.
”He would rather be blown up by the Immortal Tying Rope himself in order to protect Li Xiao Hua.” I smiled as I looked at the two of them. “If a man would rather be blown up than have his beloved one get hurt a little in this kind of situation, then he must have a very sweet time with Li Xiao Hua. Of course, it would be better if he has a little more of that time. That’s why he pretends to be injured seriously. Here, I feel that your words back then was really true, Liu Shuai. ”
”What words?” Liu Shuai was unable to react in time, ”I don't think I said anything emotional.”
I looked at Liu Shuai and quietly said, ”The first time we met Zhang Quan, you said that the affection comes from nowhere, but ones fall in it deep. When I laughed at you for thinking Zhang Quan's feelings too high, you instead laughed at me, saying that in this world, there are lots of people breaking up because of locations, jobs or future careers, but there is very few people like Zhang Quan who would fall in love with one person for the rest of his life. I didn't believe you then, but now it seems that you were right. I envy you for having such an affectionate —— friend.”
