Zongman: I have really retired!

who is it……

What else exists in my body...

"The truth...the magician...the monkey...what are these things!!!"

Xia Youjie covered his head and felt the pain in his eyes, as if something was tearing at his body, his brain and thinking...

"What happened just now..."

Xia Youjie was breathing heavily, his chest was rising and falling due to intense emotions, he was curling up tightly and coughing violently, his forehead was covered with cold sweat, and his mouth was filled with the sweet taste of blood, Xia Youjie There was no time to think about grabbing the water on the bed and drinking it in one gulp.

As Xia Youjie's breathing gradually calmed down, Meng Shuxu also appeared at the door of the room. He was probably in a hurry. Meng Shuxu's collar was a little tilted. He didn't make a sound, but looked at Xia Youjie sideways quietly. Retching, because he hadn't eaten for three days, Xia Youjie couldn't vomit anything no matter how much he vomited.

"Have you calmed down?"

Meng Shuxu spoke slowly. He walked to the other side of Xia Youjie's bed and looked at Xia Youjie's pale and ugly face.

"Are they...really dead..."

Xia Youjie gasped again, his Adam's apple rolling in a hoarse voice.

"Well, after all, you never know which one will happen first, tomorrow or the accident. Do you need me to say anything to comfort you? If you want to hear it now."

Meng Shuxu rarely made a joke that wasn't funny. He never comforted people. He was a very realistic person. Even his comfort was straightforward and without any cover. Lin Fei complained that he was the most impersonal person. Something that even the old man doesn’t want to see...

"No...I just want to calm down now and you can get out."

Xia Youjie remained eerily calm. He did not make a fuss or show excessive sadness. He just chose silence, which made Meng Shuxu look at him sideways after reading a lot of words of comfort.

"Well, remember to eat, otherwise they will worry."

Meng Shuxu just shrugged and left. He didn't seem to be sad about the death of his sister and brother-in-law. He even had time to dress up carefully before coming to the hospital to visit Xia Youjie, his nephew who was deeply affected by the death of his parents.

Xia Youjie closed his eyes and did not look at Meng Shuxu. What did Meng Shuxu want to see? Watch him vent his emotions and vent his depression? Or do you choose to pounce on him like a madman seeking care and comfort from others?

Xia Youjie has a very awkward relationship with his parents. Their love really proves the saying that parents are true love and children are accidents. Xia Youjie has long been accustomed to a life unfamiliar with his parents due to his hard-earned experience since he was a child.

They seemed to be always busy, busy with work, busy traveling, busy showing off their love in their circle of friends. Xia Youjie almost suspected that he was adopted by them, otherwise no parent would be able to leave for several months without even calling their children. Damn it, it’s not an exaggeration to say that Xia Youjie was brought up by Xia Yan and Meng Shuxu. Maybe the relationship between them made Xia Youjie feel that he was the third party between them, but Xia Youjie There was never any doubt about their love for them.

People who will try their best to support each other unconditionally, people who have never really gotten angry at home, people who will patiently answer children's naive questions and even quarrel over it and then smile after looking at each other...

Even though they would occasionally leave Xia Youjie for various reasons, and even forget his existence inadvertently, with such a pair of gentle parents, Xia Youjie still grew up to be a gentle person...

[I always feel that Meng Shuxu is very cold and I don’t like him very much. 】

[I don’t like him either. His love is too sharp and he will be hurt just by being close to him. 】

[Then does he love Jie or not? It feels like Meng Shuxu doesn't like Jie, he is so cold. 】

[Of course I love him, he even gave me his life, so why doesn’t it count as love? 】

[Xia Youjie: I can’t afford to give that kind of thing to anyone who loves it. 】

[Is he a villain? 】

[For me, yes, he is the driving force behind many tragedies! 】

[Okay, the world is very cruel, and Meng Shuxu has that temperament... [Sigh]]

Meng Shuxu checked the room inside and out again to make sure there was no problem before sitting in the living room and waiting for someone.

He habitually stared at the hour hand moving little by little, and time began to rewind before his eyes, reminding him of the questions Xia Youjie asked him.

"Is it an accident or is it targeted?"

The handsome young man wearing a somewhat loose hospital gown asked him calmly.

"Is it important? So what if you know? Sometimes ignorance is bliss."

"I...have power now, so I want to know the truth. I will know sooner or later. It's just a matter of time."

The young man's tone became more confident. Perhaps in his eyes, this was not much more difficult than the horror games he had played. He seemed to believe that if he could save the world in the game, he would be able to solve some problems in reality. What's more, he was not trying to save the world, but just How hard can it be to solve your own problems? Children who have never been beaten up by society, even their eyes are full of ignorant confidence and bravery.

Confident and brave... Meng Shuxu really wanted to laugh. Emotions based on ignorance were useless, ridiculous and pathetic.

"Jie, as your relative, I don't like to preach to you like your parents did. Even so, you will most likely turn around and forget. But I still want you to remember that the reason why people go astray is not Because of his ignorance, but because of his self-knowledge. (Note 1)"

Meng Shuxu just looked calmly at the young man in front of him who seemed unconvinced.

The young man in front of him is his sister's only child, a treasure raised by their family. He doesn't want the young man to get hurt. He can hide him under his belly like a dragon guarding the treasure, but the young man will not agree. Some birds are destined. They will not be locked in a cage, every feather of theirs shines with the light of freedom.

And no one will be happy that way, no matter who it is…

"I know you are not someone who will give up. You can never forget them if you don't face them. Even if they are not always there when you grow up, they have been engraved in your life and indelible anyway.

Well, I'll give you a chance. I'll transfer you to the school where your parents died on a mission, find out the truth, and tell me. "

A smile appeared on Meng Shuxu's lips. Children are worthy of forgiveness, but people have to pay the price for their choices. When Xia Youjie encounters some obstacles in society one day, he will know that there is a power in the world called powerlessness, a voice called silence, and there is something called human malice...

His thoughts were stirred as the pointer turned, and countless possible endings emerged in Meng Shuxu's mind. But he knows that when the pointer points to the end, no matter the ending of the story is perfect...

dong dong dong-

There was a knock on the door, and Meng Shuxu stood up and opened the door.

"You're late."

"It's not our fault. There's a traffic jam on the road. It's all Lin Fei's fault! He attracted all the reporters!"

Xia Yan kept complaining while holding a suitcase in her hand.
