C2 (2/2)

”Tell me, Fugui, are you willing to search for the answer to this question, and become the next person to write the story after me?”

”Eh …” I lowered my head, confused.

”Fugui, look at me!”

I looked into his eyes, and there was a glimmer of anticipation in them. After a moment, I shook my head.

Grandpa Sun sighed, ”You and I were fated to meet each other. You will agree. This is your fate. However, it's not time yet. ”

I was stunned. Destiny?

The setting sun pulled at the afterimage, shining on Grandpa Sun's half-aged face, making it hard for me to see clearly. I slowly felt a sense of oppression. I'm not used to Grandpa Sun's expression. Suddenly, I feel a bit fearful, but I don't dare to leave.

”Rich son, it's already dark. Why aren't you going home?” Mother was calling for me, and as if grabbing onto a lifesaver, I quickly got up and ran away.

”Grandpa Sun, I'll come see you again when I'm free.” I didn't look back as I ran.

I washed my feet and went to bed, but I couldn't sleep. My mind was filled with either Long Mei or Grandpa Sun's stare at me. I simply stood up and ran to my parents' room.

My parents were still awake, so they were chatting about trivial things. When they saw me come in, they greeted me with a smile. My mother took me in her arms, and my father smiled and asked me what I wanted.

”Father!” I swallowed. ”Can you tell me who Grandpa Sun is?”

My father's expression clearly faltered, and I felt my mother's hand stiffen as she hugged me.

Having guessed that he would not be able to fool me, father sighed and said, ”Rich son, it's not that I don't want to say it, but you still can't know.”

”Why can't I know? I'm already sensible. I know Grandpa Sun must be one of the legendary Immortals!” I broke free from my mother's hold and stood on the ground, excited.

”Rich son …” My mother had a bitter look on her face, but she hesitated to speak.

”Since you know all about it, why are you still asking me?” My father was getting a little angry, and his tone was very strict.

I don't know why he's angry, but looking at him, I know that I might have made a huge mistake, but Grandpa Sun is an immortal.

”I, why are you all hiding this from me?” When I saw that my father was angry, I felt wronged, but I didn't know why, but my heart was filled with anger as well.

”Ahh, rich kid, it's not that dad and mom don't want to tell you, it's just that you really can't know!” My mother wiped her eyes and knelt down to hug me.

”Why?” I don't understand why I can't know that this isn't a big deal.

”Sigh, what should come will eventually come. Child's mother, tell him!” Father seemed to have aged a bit, and I started to feel uneasy.

”No, I definitely won't let rich kids leave!” It's rare for me to see my mother being so persistent, even a hint of madness in her hoarse voice!

Father turned around and looked at me with a hint of sadness in his kind eyes. I couldn't make out the look in his eyes, but I was sure that this was a bad omen.

”The mother of the child and the rich son already know. If we continue to hide it, it won't be stopped.”

My mother clung onto the corner of my clothes, unwilling to let go. After a long while, as if she had thought of something, the grip on her hands gradually loosened. It was just that she had fainted.

”Mother!” ”Mother!” I looked at my mother, who had fainted. There were tears on her face, and I felt a twinge in my heart. I grabbed my mother's hand, trying to wake her up.

”I'll do it!” My father squatted down and carried my mother to the bed. After looking at her carefully for a moment, he said, ”It's fine, she's just too nervous. She fainted. She'll be fine after a good rest.”

I was worried, and looked anxiously at my mother, who was still frowning. My mother had given too much for us in this life.
