Chapter 112 Long Fei is Yufei, but Yufei is not Long Fei (2/2)
”That afternoon, I did not feel any of Yufei's wishes. What I had was just a little boy constantly blaming himself,” Long Fei retracted his gaze and continued to look at the teacup, ”He believed that everything was his fault. He should not have been born in this world, and it was his unexpected birth that led to the accidental death of his parents.”
”How is this possible?” Liu Shuai could not help to say, ”There is no such thing. Otherwise, wouldn't Avalokitesvara, who gave children to parents the most, become a murderer?” After he finished speaking, there was a clap of thunder outside the window, and a gale once again arose, scaring Liu Shuai, who shrunk his neck, and he clasped his hands together, and muttered: ”I did not intend to say that, I did not intend to say that, your majesty is generous…”
”You can't talk about this with a five-year-old child,” Hao Ning said to Liu Shuai with a wry smile. He glanced at the wild wind outside, and it's strange that the wind immediately stopped when he glanced.
”Yea,” Long Fei raised his head, smiled at Liu Shuai, Liu Shuai could tell that Long Fei's smile was extraordinarily forced and unfamiliar. He only heard Long Fei continued to speak, ”Little Yufei is only five years old, how would he know about the cruelty of the world?”
But at the same time, Long Fei continued to recall his memories, his gaze filled with warmth: ”That night, after it was dark, Yufei left. I don't know what was wrong with me, but I was following him all the way. And I found someone following him walking alone at night and wanted to kidnap him.
”Mn, during that era —” Hao Ning calculated the age and nodded. ”I seem to have heard of something similar to the abduction of children.”
”Naturally, I saved him,” Long Fei laughed, scratched his head and said embarrassedly. ”It wasn't difficult for me to take care of those bad guys, but for Yufei, I became the god in his life.”
”What the...” Hao Ning opened his mouth, ”I've only heard of heroes saving beauties, who would know that there was also Dragon God saving a child?”
I didn't hide anything from him. I just directly told him who I am, ”Long Fei laughed self-deprecatingly.” A five-year-old child wouldn't doubt anything and would believe everything he was told. He hugged me and cried very hard, saying that no one in this world will love him anymore. Both dad and mum were dead; what should he do?
”Sigh...” ”Hao Ning put down the thumb in his right hand, with which he had been on guard this entire time, and sighed, if he were faced with such problem, he would not know how to solve it either,” Then what did you say?
”At that time, I was always being respected by people. Other than being a statue of a god, what else did I know? Forget about that time; I probably don't know much now either …” Long Fei laughed bitterly, and shook his head, ”People thought that gods should know more than themselves, and their spiritual eyes were like lightning, but who would have thought that facing such a child's problem, my brain was actually empty. Thus, I had no choice but to say what the pilgrims once said: You should study hard, as long as you study well, everything will be fine.”
”He cried and asked me if Mom and Dad would come back to life if he studied hard.” Long Fei was holding the cup tightly, ”I looked at him, my heart was churning, but I still said 'Yes.' — This was my first lie as the Dragon God because I felt that telling the truth would make my heart ache an unbearable pain.”
”No wonder...” Hao Ning nodded and gently wiped the corner of his eyes, ”No wonder Yufei was studying hard.”
After that, Yufei study very hard, and every time he got a full score in his homework…” Long Fei said as he relaxed his grip on the cup, his eyes became warm again,” He would come to the temple to tell me about it. So I told him that he could go to the back of the mountain and find me. In the beginning, he came once a week, and then he came almost every day, and I knew that this was because his studies were improving, he could only get one full score every week earlier, but later he could get full scores every day. Sometimes when I had to call for the rain, he would ride on my back.”
”On your back?” Hao Ning seemed to have thought of something, that he seemed to have seen this scene somewhere. At this time, Liu Shuai seemed to have cleared up a lot and blurted out, ”Like Qili, who had ridden on your back?”
”Ah, yea, that's right, the other day at Fu Tu Kang — —” Hao Ning slapped his head. That day, when Zhang Quan called Long Fei back, Qili was still happily riding on the back of the dragon that was turned into by Long Fei.
”That's right,” Long Fei sniffed his nose, as if he recalled something, ”Qili was a kid of a neighbor of Yufei's. I found out from Qili that he had a brother who told him that there was a Dragon God in this world and that his brother was even friends with the Dragon God. I think the brother he's talking about should be Yufei. ”
”No wonder.” Hao Ning slapped his thigh, nodded, and said, ”No wonder Qili would say those words on your back on that day: So, all of these are true!”
There was one sentence that Hao Ning did not say, and that was 'No wonder Long Fei and Qili's relationship in the company was so good. So, it turns out that there was their karma'.
”You still remember that?” Liu Shuai looked at Hao Ning and blinked, his face filled with admiration.
”Nonsense, I didn't value woman before friends!” Hao Ning said this in his heart, but he did not say it out loud. He only nodded his head and continued to ask Long Fei, ”But then, why did you go to university? Could it be that Yufei didn't pass the exam and you helped him go to the university to take the exam instead? ”Hao Ning thought of Zhou Yuan's ability. Since the moment God was able to make a fake education for Long Fei, then it was not impossible for this Dragon God to do some tricks in the exam.
When Liu Shuai heard this, his heart felt a little better. A little child, no matter how hard he tried, how could he possibly be a little genius? However, if he had used his spiritual strength to 'cheat,' then he really was no match for him.
”How could that be? Yufei was very smart. He had always been studying hard. Until one day he came to my temple instead of going to the back of the mountain, he knelt. That day, he was not very happy. He told me that he was accepted by the best university in the entire country, Qingbei University, ”Long Fei's originally warm eyes were now filled with pain.” He was going to study in the north now, and he would no longer be able to play with me in the future. ”
”Ah, Qingbei University?” Liu Shuai could not help but ask, ”So it's true, did he really pass the exam?”
”Of course, it's true!” Long Fei looked at Liu Shuai with some displeasure, but still nodded and said, ”How a smart boy like Yufei could fail the exam? That year, he was only 12 years old. ”
”He seemed to know that I would be sad. That day, he said that I was the one who gave him gifts for so many years, so he also planned to give me something. He didn't know if I like it or not.” Long Fei did not stay unhappy for too long; he kept recalling, ”He gave me a name. He said that since he's called Li Yufei, then I would be Li Long Fei, and from then on, we would be true brothers.”
”Li Yufei, Li Long Fei?” Hao Ning counted on his fingers, ”I see. It makes sense, but what about after?”
”After that, I gave him something as well, a protective talisman,” Long Fei said without raising his head, ”In the following year, I didn't see him again.”
”One year?” Hao Ning acutely noticed the problem in the sentence, ”In other words, the next time you two met each other, was a year later when he came to find you?”
”It can be yes and no to your guess,” Long Fei looked at Hao Ning with a complex expression, but he still nodded his head, ”You can indeed use logic to deduce a few things, but there is also a loophole. We indeed met again a year later, but it's not that he's looking for me, but I was looking for him.”
”You were looking for him? Was it the pain of lovesickness?” Hao Ning felt that this phrase was inappropriate, but since he had already said it, he was too lazy to change it.
