Chapter 221 - If One Is Touched Deeply, He Can See What He Wants (1/2)

Rushing into the room, Zhou Yuan gave Hao Ning a paper bag. “Here you are, your new trousers!” he said.

“Oh?” The new trousers made Hao Ning remember that he wanted to buy a new one today. But he forgot about it. Thinking of this, he thanked Zhou Yuan. Suddenly, he saw Liu Shuai with an angry face.

“What’s wrong?” seeing Liu Shuai behave weirdly, Hao Ning asked. “Zhou Yuan did something to you again?” he continued.

“No!” Liu Shuai shrugged. “I asked him to shop with me for cosmetics. He said it was weird to shop for cosmetics by two men!”

“It is weird…” Hao Ning said to himself. Looking at Liu Shuai, Hao Ning realized that he wanted to buy cosmetics for Wen. He continued to say promptly, “but it is normal to buy it for girlfriends!”

“Yes!” Liu Shuai said, realizing that Hao Ning had become his confidant. He continued to say, “but he just wanted to have a look at health products and traditional Chinese medicine. He even checked them one by one! Except for the trousers he brought for you, what he brought are all health products!”

“No!” Zhou Yuan refuted. “Who told you they are all health products? I also bought a health magnetic therapy pad. Is it food?”

“…” Liu Shuai realized that his error in speaking. He stared at Zhou Yuan and said nothing more.

“Why did you buy those things?” Hao Ning wondered, looking at several big bags of health products held in their hands. “You are a young man. You feel not well recently? You should give up reading some novels. They are not good for your health.”

“No, it’s not the case!” Zhou Yuan said with a red face. “I bought them for my parents. I thought that they just recovered. I wanted to buy health products for them.”

Hearing what Zhou Yuan said, Hao Ning felt sympathetic. Zhou Yuan might be the best boy among them.

“But you needn’t buy so many!” Liu Shuai said. “You only have one father and one mother. Why did you buy three pieces? You have a godfather?”

“Hey, don’t say that!” Zhou Yuan raged. He stared at Liu Shuai. But he still gave a bag to Liu Shuai and said, “this bag is for your mother. I thought that she might need this…Don’t say no. I guessed you would reject it if I told you earlier. Now I have bought them, what you need to do is to accept them! That’s all!”

Liu Shuai was stunned after hearing Zhou Yuan. So was Hao Ning. Hao Ning knew that Zhou Yuan was a filial boy. He could do something he did not want to do for his parents. They did not expect that he could do such a thing for Liu Shuai and his mother.

“Don’t say thank you.” Zhou Yuan smiled. “You have helped me a lot. And I made you in trouble before…” Zhou Yuan smiled at Hao Ning. “I thought that Liu Shuai’s mother raised Liu Shuai alone. She must have suffered a lot in the past. What I did just to remind Liu Shuai of her sufferings. I just wanted him to care about her more.”

“Thank you.” Liu Shuai said eventually. However, he did not grab Zhou Yuan’s bag. “But she did not have a chance to use them anymore.”

Hearing what Liu Shuai said, the rest, including Xiao Hong who just woke up, was shocked. What he said proved that his mother has gone long before.

They did not expect this answer. Zhou Yuan felt embarrassed knowing this. Liu Shuai, in his eyes, was a blunt and sometimes silly boy in front of his girlfriend. He did not anticipate that his mother has gone long before.

“Sorr… Sorry to hear that…” Zhou Yuan said, holding the bag in the air. “I just want to surprise you. I heard before that Zhang Quan did not care about your mother and you. I just thought that… Sorry to hear that. I’m so sorry.”

This was a common phenomenon in a big city. We worked together and we thought that we knew each other very well. Nevertheless, we rarely talked about our family members in front of friends unless we were best friends. Or nobody would talk about it in front of others.

“It’s not your fault. I didn’t want to talk about it before because I thought that as long as I didn’t talk about it, she would live forever.” Liu Shuai grabbed the bag, patting Zhou Yuan’s shoulder. “I should thank you. When I was a kid, my mum always put some health products into my soup. I dislike the taste. She always felt not well. That was the reason why I majored in biology. But later I found that being a programmer would make more money. So, I became a programmer.”

“My mum developed a serious illness in the first year after I graduated.” Liu Shuai sat down, looking at the products in the bag. “At that time, I stayed with her every night. I prayed that my father would come and save her life. But finally,…”

Liu Shuai smiled, dropping tears.

Hao Ning said nothing. He passed a tissue to him.

“Do you guys consider that I always disregarded Zhang Quan?” Liu Shuai continued bitterly. “I just hated that Yunzhongzi abandoned my mum and me when I was a kid. What he did was not what a man should do. ”

Hao Ning understood. The feeling of Liu Shuai to Zhuang Quan was complicated. Liu Shuai wanted to admit Zhuang Quan as his father, but he hated him because he did not save his wife although he had art.

“I finally forgive him not long ago.” Liu Shuai sighed. “He also wanted to save her. However, he was also afraid to put me in trouble. He didn’t want others to know that I am a kid of Yunzhongzi.”

Hao Ning sighed. This was what Long Fei told Liu Shuai. Thinking of this, he thought an old Chinese saying, “the loves from parents to their kids must be a far-reaching one.”

“I asked my mom about this before she passed away.” Liu Shuai continued, “I asked her whether she hated my father or not. She smiled at me and said she did not. If she were him, she would do the same. I couldn’t understand her at that time. But now, I do.”

Xiao Hong raised his head, saying with red eyes. “Because in their heart, you are the most important. They were willing to sacrifice themselves to protect you.”

Hao Ning looked at Xiao Hong. He knew that what Xiao Hong said had nothing to do with Liu Shuai’s parents. He talked about his parents indeed.

“Now, I don’t think it is bad to me.” Liu Shuai wiped his eyes, smiling. “My mum worked hard all lifetime. Now, I think that she has reincarnated. I think that she will have better days. Do you agree?”

“Of course!” The three replied at the same time.

“Zhou Yuan.” noticing that Liu Shuai looked at him, Zhou Yuan sat up promptly. Liu Shuai continued, “I want to thank you for your consideration. Although my mum has no chance to take them, I still want you to do a favor for me.”

“Anything I can do.” Zhou Yuan nodded. He knew what Liu Shuai said was to ease his embarrassment. “Ok, tell me now!”

“Help me make a Virtualised reality when you are free someday.” Liu Shuai said, looking at a bag on the ground. “So, I can meet my mum in it. And I can give these presents to her by myself. I have a chance to prepare a meal for her. Is this ok? By the way, I also want to use these products to make a healthy soup for her…” Liu Shuai said with tears dropping from his cheeks. “So, I can be her boy again.”

“Ok.” Zhou Yuan nodded with red eyes. He has used Virtualised reality to make many fake things in this real world. He could use it to help his friend fulfill his wish. “Anytime and anywhere as long as you ask.”

“No, no need.” Liu Shuai said, wiping his tears. He continued to say jokingly, “you cherish your Wuxiang fragrance very much. How can I use your incense for so many times? That will kill you.”

Hearing Liu Shuai mentioning Wuxiang fragrance, Hao Ning and Xiao Hong looked at each other. They said promptly, “ok, then. We already understood. Can we see the gold finger now?”

“Yes, you are right. When are we crying so much? Blame me. I made you cry.” Liu Shuai wiped his face. He continued to say, “Zhou Yuan, let’s see what happened to gold finger?”

Zhou Yuan knew that Liu Shuai did not want to continue that topic. He said ok to him and waved his phone in front of the TV. A black image appeared on the screen.

“Why is it so dark?” Hao Ning wondered. “They did not turn on lights?” added he.

“No.” Zhou Yuan shook his head. “The Spiritual Flying Bugs is made based on feelings. Now his soul has been over 100,000 years old. That means his spirit is very weak.”

The screen flashed as he was talking. A sound passed out of the screen. They listened to it carefully. It seemed that somebody inside said, “now let’s replenish souls, ok?”

Replenish souls? Hao Ning and others wondered. As the sound was too low, they did not hear it clearly. They kept silent and listened to it more carefully.

“They must begin their work now.” Zhou Yuan said to himself. After saying this, he pointed to the screen. It seemed that he used much power to do it. Sweat appeared on his forehead after his pointing. He said bitterly, “this is an induction force strengthened by the incense. I felt tired now.”

“It’s not about the Spiritual Flying Bugs.” Xiao Hong said. “It must be that the soul of gold finger is too weak. The Spiritual Flying Bugs can only feel a limited feeling. You must be tired as you enhanced it.”

After Zhou Yuan used his power, the screen became brighter. Only silver finger and brass finger could be seen on the screen. They were looking for something on the shelves. There were many things on the shelves. But they could not be seen clearly as the light was too dim. One of them found something, screaming, “over here!” And then he got one thing, looked at it carefully and said, “this is it!”

After saying this, he aligned the thing with gold finger, taking a blue light out of his pocket. Seeing the blue light, Hao Ning realized that this was the Soul Coin Material.

What were they doing over there? Hao Ning wondered. However, nobody talked about it. He had to contain his questions to himself.

In the low-quality image, the man put the blue light into his hand, trying to hold something. The whole body of the thing was shining. The man shook the thing in front of gold finger. A light came out of the thing. It seemed to fly into the body of gold finger. The man clapped his hands and said, “Done!”

After saying this, the whole image became so bright that nothing could be seen. Zhou Yuan screamed, “what happened?”

“This is the case.” Liu Shuai nodded. “This man must be recovered. His soul is normal now. So, the Spiritual Flying Bugs can feel again. Zhou Yuan, don’t enhance the image anymore.”

Zhou Yuan clenched his hands. The image on the screen appeared normally. Zhou Yuan wiped his sweat. It seemed that he used too much power just now. He asked, “this man must recover to live. But do you guys understand what happened?”

The three looked at each other, confused. They did not shake their heads or nod.

“What are the things on the shelves?” Hao Ning asked. The screen became clearer. Hao Ning pointed to the things on the shelves. They looked like white yet long and thin porcelain bottles. Hao Ning felt that he had saw them before somewhere. He wondered, “I must have seen them before somewhere.”

“They are Clear Glass Bottles!” Xiao Hong screamed. “How do they have them? And why are there so many?” he shook his head. “Impossible, impossible. They must resemble the genuine ones! They are fake ones.”

Hao Ning fully understood what Xiao Hong thought. Xiao Hong was deeply impressed by Avalokitesvara’s Clear Glass Bottle. However, nobody could stand if he saw so many bottles belonging to him only.

“Of course, they are fake ones.” Hao Ning comforted Xiao Hong. “They may be common bottles. They are fake. I am sure.”

“Silver finger.” gold finger said slowly. “My life just ended?”

“Yes.” silver finger smiled. “It is three days earlier than expected. You are becoming older sooner.” His voice sounded relaxed. It seemed like they were talking a common thing.
