Lu Mingfei, who had read Dragon Clan before Dragon Slaying

Chapter 1055 The Heart Wall of Father and Son (Two in One, Please Subscribe!!!)

The image of the lonely, desolate but strong watcher that Chu Zihang had just slowly constructed in his mind was quickly shattered because of the man's words.

"Do you want to call me again?" Seeing Chu Zihang didn't say anything, the man blinked and said to Chu Zihang, "My son's call of 'Dad' can make me live ten years longer. How long I want my Dad to live depends on how filial my son is."

Chu Zihang felt a little helpless. He was not a very outgoing person to begin with, and now being teased by a man in front of so many acquaintances, even he would feel embarrassed.

"Dad." However, in front of so many people, Chu Zihang still gave face to the man and finally called him.

"Hey, it's nice to hear your own son call you that." The man raised his eyebrows. "Just once? Never mind, once is fine. Another ten years will be enough. It's not a good thing for a person to live too long without dying."

Chu Zihang felt a little nostalgic and a little powerless, because the man in his memory was exactly like this. After not seeing him for seven years, he remained unchanged... Maybe it was a good thing, because it meant that he was still himself, the father in Chu Zihang's memory, but Chu Zihang also knew that this was not the real him.

Everyone in the room focused their attention on the father and son... or to be more precise, on the man who revealed his eccentric nature and funny attributes as soon as he woke up. The way the man raised his eyebrows looked so exaggerated.

Everyone in the room except Chu Zihang and his son, with the exception of Lu Mingfei, had never seen this man before, let alone knew him. They had never even heard of the name "Chu Tianjiao".

Such an exaggerated expression on such a handsome yet weathered face should have been extremely strange, but for some reason, the man's tone and demeanor seemed to be natural. This handsome face and voice full of stories, coupled with his frivolous tone and mundane expression, did not seem strange at all.

But everyone knows that the man is not actually such a person. Someone once said that a mask worn on the face for too long cannot be taken off... The man is a talented performer. He has played this face for nearly twenty years. He is already very familiar with it and plays it vividly. If you don’t enter this room and don’t know the man’s true identity, everyone will think that he is really a complaining, grumbling, and boastful driver, and he will have this kind of eccentric personality from childhood to old age.

This is pretty good, Chu Zihang thought silently in his heart. No matter if the man was deliberately acting like this in front of him, or he had really been acting like this for too many years and was too into the role, he was still more suitable to get along with such a man... If he really turned into a taciturn, silent and cold stranger like an agent when he woke up, Chu Zihang would not know how to get along with him for a while.

"Are these all your classmates?" Even if a man is talking to himself, he should take the initiative to say hello when he sees a room full of people.

"Well, classmates from Kassel College, this is Caesar, this is Nuonuo, this is Susie..." Chu Zihang turned his head slightly and introduced everyone to Chu Tianjiao. Every time he introduced a person, his eyes fell on that person. Finally, he looked at Lu Mingfei and said, "This is Lu Mingfei, also a classmate of Shilan Middle School. We have known each other since junior high and high school. He is a year younger than me."

"That's quite a long friendship." Chu Tianjiao also looked at Lu Mingfei, nodded and said, "Lu Mingfei, right? Remember, remember, I have an impression of you."

"Huh? Uncle Chu remembers me?" Lu Mingfei was a little surprised.

"You are old, but your memory hasn't declined that badly. I've seen you before, when I picked up my son from school." Chu Tianjiao said to Lu Mingfei, "I saw you that night too. You went home alone, right? But you have really changed a lot now. I almost didn't recognize you. Only your face hasn't changed much, but your temperament really doesn't look like the same person, especially your eyes. You have great eyes now."

"Thank you... You have a good memory." Lu Mingfei nodded politely to Chu Tianjiao, but he felt surprised in his heart.

Compared with Chu Tianjiao's memory, he was more amazed at Chu Tianjiao's insight... What a meticulous and sharp observation ability. In Lu Mingfei's memory, Chu Tianjiao only had a rough image and tone of voice, but Chu Tianjiao remembered Lu Mingfei's face, temperament and even eyes.

Although they had only met briefly a few times from a distance, he even remembered the look in his eyes. He was indeed the top agent.

"Classmate Caesar, right?" Chu Tianjiao looked at Caesar's face, "You look a lot like someone I used to know."

"I'm Caesar Gattuso." Caesar said to Chu Tianjiao, "You think I look familiar, maybe you've seen my uncle or my bastard father."

“Gattuso…” Chu Tianjiao silently recited the surname of this mixed-blood race, and nodded as if he remembered something, “No wonder, no wonder.”

"That little girl's name is Eri?" Chu Tianjiao looked at Eri again, "Is she Japanese?"

"She is from the Uesugi family, one of the eight Snake families." Chu Zihang explained for Eri.

"So it's the Sheqi Eight Clan." Chu Tianjiao nodded in sudden realization, "The girl's bloodline is really scary! Could she be the current head of a family?"

"She is the head of the Uesugi family, but not the head of the family." Chu Zihang said, "The head of the family... the previous head of the family is her biological brother, and we are friends."

"No wonder, son, the backgrounds of your classmates are really more terrifying than each other. Kassel College has really changed now." Chu Tianjiao seemed to remember something, and he suddenly looked at Chu Zihang, "I remember I told you that you can go abroad, but don't apply to a school called Kassel?"

"Who would specifically mention the name of a school before leaving?" Chu Zihang said very "straightforwardly", "Doesn't this mean that I should apply to Kassel College?"

"Sometimes being too smart isn't a good thing." Chu Tianjiao sighed. He looked at Chu Zihang's face and said, "You've changed so much from the son I remember. I almost couldn't recognize you. You must have suffered a lot in these years at Kassel Academy, right?"

"Fortunately, normal study, life, and tasks can't be considered hardship." Chu Zihang said, shaking his head slowly.

"Really? I feel like you've matured a lot." Chu Tianjiao recalled, "I always feel like you're not even half my height, pulling my clothes and wanting to play the 'horse riding' game with me."

Three black lines popped up on Chu Zihang's forehead. He took a deep breath and suppressed his anger... He was not only annoyed that the man had exposed his shameful childhood in front of so many acquaintances, but also speechless that the man still remembered him as a little kid. It was so long ago, isn't it normal for him to have become more mature compared to when he was so young? The man's words sounded sarcastic.

And when did I pull the corner of my clothes and say I wanted to play the "horse riding" game? In my memory, it was this man who took the initiative to carry me on his back every time, and took him to run around the house like crazy while my mother was cooking.

Except for Chu Zihang, everyone else in the room thought this conversation was quite interesting. Caesar even asked Nuonuo for a cell phone to record it... Caesar used to be disdainful of doing such a thing, but this time the target of his embarrassment was Chu Zihang, which was of great significance.

"Speaking of which, I still remember a few things about your childhood..." Chu Tianjiao talked freely. He seemed to be very good at chatting about family matters and he couldn't stop talking about this topic.

"Stop." Chu Zihang stopped Chu Tianjiao from exposing his shortcomings. "Those things are not important."

"How can it not be important? You haven't reached that age yet, so you don't know. For all parents, the things that leave the deepest impression on them are their own children." Chu Tianjiao said, "Children are the most fun when they are still young. You were so cute when you were little. Although you are not as cute as before when you grew up, you are still quite handsome. People say that your son looks like his father when he grows up. You must be popular with girls at school, right?"

"Not bad." Chu Zihang
He actually really wanted to have a good chat with the man. After all, they hadn't seen each other for such a long time. However, Chu Zihang was obviously not the type of person who was good at chatting and finding topics like the man. The man's topics made him feel powerless. It was just like during the holidays, when those unfamiliar and gossipy aunts and uncles at home would pull you aside and insist on talking to you about study, work, and love.

"How many years has it been since we last met?"

The man asked this question out of the blue, and the topic changed as quickly as a roller coaster rushing up to the sky and suddenly falling into the ground. He changed his previous lively and frivolous tone, and his expression suddenly became a little deeper.

Hearing the man's words, Chu Zihang was suddenly stunned, as if something in his heart was deeply touched.

It turned out that the man didn't want to talk about more serious and in-depth topics. Chu Zihang understood it now. It was just that the man realized that they hadn't seen each other for a long time. The father-son relationship, which was already unfamiliar, might have become even more unfamiliar during the time he was gone. So he kept chatting with Chu Zihang in the same way and tone as Chu Zihang when he was a child, and talked nonsense with him about all sorts of things, like a stranger who was deliberately but cautiously striking up a conversation.

Chu Zihang felt an inexplicable sadness in his heart. This man's thoughts were far more complicated than he had imagined. Under his nonchalant appearance, he hid a sensitive and delicate heart... Yes, if he was not a thoughtful person, how could he have collected so many photos, including his mother's various appearances, as well as his childhood and adulthood. This man seemed careless when treating the people he loved, but he was always cautious.

"Exactly seven years have passed since that night." Chu Zihang answered the man's question softly.

“Seven years… Seven years.” Chu Tianjiao looked at the ceiling and murmured, “So much time has passed.”

In fact, he was mentally prepared, because Chu Zihang said that he had been admitted to Kassel College, which meant that he had already gone to college. Even his junior brother Lu Mingfei had entered Kassel College... Chu Tianjiao's brain still retained his previous memories. When he separated from Chu Zihang that night, he had not yet entered high school.

From junior high school to college, six or seven years have passed. This is a very simple arithmetic problem, but for a person who has disappeared from the world for seven years, such a long time is like a long dream, or like a short moment between closing and opening his eyes. He remembers nothing, but time has passed as usual.

It felt like he was forgotten by time and abandoned by the world.

Chu Tianjiao still remembers that rainy night when he faced "God" and asked Chu Zihang to drive the Maybach away quickly, the farther the better, the faster the better. He thought that night would be a farewell forever, but he didn't expect that they would meet again one day... In fact, to him, that rainy night was like what happened yesterday, and his separation and reunion with his son were like yesterday and today.

But it is definitely not that simple for Chu Zihang. Seven years have passed in Chu Zihang's world, and he has disappeared for seven years.

"You must be very tired." Chu Tianjiao changed his usual frivolous attitude and said to Chu Zihang in a very light and deep voice, "You must be very tired after all these years."

Chu Zihang was silent for a while, then whispered, "Not bad."

"I know your personality. You like to show off more than anyone else. You say you're fine, and you feel fine in your heart, but you must be very tired, but you just tell yourself that you're not tired." Chu Tianjiao rarely spoke to Chu Zihang in the tone of a father educating his son, "Sometimes it's not a bad thing to live a little more honestly. People only live for one life. Whether they are tired or happy, why not make their life easier?"

Chu Zihang was silent for a while, then he looked into the man's eyes and said, "What about you?"

"I..." The man opened his mouth. He who was always eloquent and eloquent could not help but become speechless at this moment. Chu Zihang was a man of few words, but every word he said was sharp and could always accurately hit the nail on the head.

"My situation... is different." Chu Tianjiao hesitated and said, "Because I am... special? Well, what I said is not the same as what you said. In fact, my life is quite easy. Oh, I can't explain it clearly now, but you will understand it in the future."

"You've said this before." Chu Zihang said coldly.

"Which sentence?" Chu Tianjiao was stunned.

"I ask you, why do I only care about giving birth but not raising it? Tell me, 'You will understand in the future.'" Chu Zihang looked into the man's eyes and spoke word by word.

Chu Tianjiao was silent for a long time, and then he said in a hoarse voice: "Actually, what you said is not wrong. I really only gave birth to you, but I didn't raise you. I always have my reasons, but many of them are just excuses for me to deceive myself. I am quite ashamed to say this."

"What I wanted to tell you, what you said at that time, I understand now." Chu Zihang's eyes fell on the photos that Lu Mingfei brought, and he suddenly said to the man, "I'm sorry."

"Huh?" Chu Tianjiao was stunned. "What are you sorry for? Sorry for speaking rudely to me?"
