Chapter 145 - Poor Parental Love (2/2)
“Well…Let me think,” Hao Ning was in a dilemma at that moment. On the one hand, although Yufei was very pitiful, Hao Ning didn’t have any communication with Yufei. For him, Yufei was more like the protagonist of a distant tragic story. But who would risk revenging a tragic story protagonist who he was unrelated to? On the other hand, the power of the opposite side was unknown. If they were really as strong as Long Fei’s speculation, their power was so strong that even Long Fei couldn’t resist them, how could Hao Ning avenge on himself? Hao Ning was not arrogant enough to think that he could be invincible to the world with some kung fu skills and power learned from books. If they were in a real fight, Hao Ning was afraid that he couldn’t even compete with a tenth of Long Fei in a long-range attack.
With this in mind, the longer Hao Ning thought, the more hesitated he became. He couldn’t help frowning and said, “It seems to be a little embarrassing…”
Seeing this, Long Fei didn’t get angry and just nodded, “I know what you mean. After all, Yufei is just a dead stranger to you. No matter how much sympathy you have for Yufei, it would be against your will to avenge a stranger. But I know that Hao Ning, you are not a selfish person. I can tell from your efforts to save Zhou Yuan. For his soul, no matter how many things you have gone through all the way, I have never heard you complaining.”
“That’s because Zhou Yuan is our friend. We have feelings for our friends.” Hao Ning nodded. Seeing that Long Fei pointed this out, he didn’t want to hide anything and told the difference. “Naturally, we won’t let our friends get hurt－but as you said, for us Yufei is more like…” Speaking of this, Hao Ning felt his throat went dry and changed the words he was about to say. “If he were still alive, I think we would have a chance to be good friends, but…”
Long Fei nodded. He wasn’t foolish enough to misunderstand Hao Ning’s words, which meant that now Yufei was dead and they couldn’t become friends, so the matter of revenge was embarrassing. Long Fei did not bother with this question. He just asked Hao Ning, “Then am I your friend?”
“Of course.” Hao Ning said it without thinking. Although he didn’t know Long Fei for a long time, let alone Hao Ning, Liu Shuai and Zhou Yuan regarded Long Fei as a friend a long time ago. If nothing else, this little god with power and weaknesses was more real. Compared with Zhang Quan’s sophisticated behavior, Zhang Chi Hang’s being otherworldly, Long Fei was more like a deskmate with both advantages and disadvantages. It was difficult not to want to make friends with such a person.
Thinking of this, Hao Ning realized why he got angry at Long Fei without thinking in the Italian restaurant today: Because he had regarded Long Fei as a friend in his heart for a long time – and only a friend would not stay away from you after you got angry at him.
“You are not only a friend but also a good person,” Hao Ning continued. “You have affection and faith, and know what to love and what to hate.”
“Well, it’s enough for me to have your words.” Long Fei nodded, with his frown loosening slightly, and he stood up with his legs raised. “I have nothing to say.”
“Wait a minute, what you said just now doesn’t mean…” Hao Ning saw the difference in Long Fei’s expression, and immediately thought of a terrible possibility: Long Fei knew that because Hao Ning didn’t know Yufei, so he would not avenge Yufei at all, which could be told from the expression of Long Fei just now. But Long Fei was his friend, so if Long Fei was hurt by the murderer who killed Yufei, Hao Ning would probably spare no effort to save Long Fei or revenge Long Fei. Not only that but also Long Fei was likely to give up escaping and choose to die under the enemy’s hands in exchange for Hao Ning’s “revenge” for Yufei.
If so, it would mean that admitting their friendship would be pushing Long Fei to death! In order to revenge Yufei, this may be the most possible way for Long Fei to make it. Thinking of this Hao Ning shuddered, “Long Fei, don’t be silly. If you can’t compete with the enemy, you must not cut heads. It’s more important to flee for your life! If I find out that you get yourself killed intentionally for our revenge for Yufei, we wouldn’t even be friends anymore!”
Hao Ning knew that Long Fei was too excited to be persuaded by words. He took drastic measures by saying this intentionally. Since Hao Ning said it in advance, that if Long Fei intentionally sought to die, he would not help him, with Long Fei’s good reasoning ability, of course, he would not seek to die easily. However, he still felt the words a little heavy after saying them, so he added, “If Yufei were still alive, He certainly wouldn’t have wanted you to do such foolish things, would he? Did you forget what Zhou Yuan said? Yufei lives because of your heart. If you are not alive, Yufei will be really gone.”
“All right… I promise you, Hao Ning.” Long Fei mediated for a while, smiled bitterly and nodded slightly, but no longer called Hao Ning Brother. “I’m your friend, and you are also my friend. I do not want to put you in danger. I was just saying, in case…”
“There’s no such case!” Hao Ning knew that it was impossible to stop Long Fei, so he had to hold on to Long Fei shoulder tightly. “You must be safe and sound! No matter how strong the enemy is, even if you can only crawl, you have to crawl back to S city for me. Otherwise, I will use the Six-pulse Excalibur to cut your statue into pieces, believe it or not! By that time, even the last person in the world who understand Yufei would disappear.”
“I know. You can rest assured. I will be careful.” after finishing this sentence, Long Fei snapped his finger and vanished.
Hao Ning wanted to tell Long Fei something more. Seeing that he vanished so fast, Hao Ning quickly touched his right hand. Sure enough, the ring also disappeared.
Hao Ning sighed. Originally Long Fei planned to go to Qingbei University tomorrow, but after finding out the possible cause of Yufei’s death, he could not wait for even a second. Maybe all parents would be so anxious when they met the same situation. Hao Ning thought a little and got the answer: Most parents in the world couldn’t wait for even a second, if their children got hurt, and no matter how strong the enemy was or how weak they were, they wouldn’t shrink back. It was for nothing else, just for their own children who died－that was called the poor parental love.
So was Long Fei. He was usually timid and overcautious and might not dare to take action when he was confronted with the enemy whose power was stronger than him, but this time he did not flinch at all. What great courage he had!
Thinking of this, Hao Ning couldn’t help shaking his head. He used to feel strange about that Long Fei cared so much about Yufei. Now he understood it, but he felt ashamed that he could keep the courtesy between friends, but he couldn’t give selflessly like a parent.
What ashamed Hao Ning was that he was a human, but in this respect, he was more like an unworldly god, which was thought to be more like an irony.
