Intertwined Destinies of Bonds

Chapter 20, Goodbye, Xiuxinyuan

Yuchigong saw that Nangongyu had shown his driver's license, so he had no choice but to climb to the back seat and sit side by side with Lin Qingyuan.It's not that he doesn't want Nangong Yu to send him off, but it's late at night, and he's afraid that it won't be safe for Nangong Yu to go back alone.

Nangongyu started the car and drove towards Lin Qingyuan's residence. No one said a word along the way.

When she arrived at Lin Qingyuan's building, Nangongyu stopped the car, returned the key to Lin Qingyuan and said, "I'm leaving tomorrow."

"Where are you going?" Yu Chigong tugged at the corner of his clothes uneasily when he heard him say this suddenly.

"I'm leaving Xiuxin Garden, so don't go there again."

"Where are you going to move?"

"A place far away."

"Have you found a good place so quickly?" Lin Qingyuan was a little surprised. Why did the person who was determined not to leave yesterday suddenly change his mind today?

"It's not difficult to find a place to live alone." Nangong Yu's eyes were as calm as a mirror, quietly reflecting the outside world, but he couldn't see his heart.

"Can I go and play with you in the future?" Yu Chigong asked eagerly, he was looking forward to Nangongyu leaving Xiuxinyuan yesterday, but today he really decided to leave, but he was very reluctant.

"We still don't want to contact you any more."

"Why?" Yuchi Gong was disappointed.

"Because..." Nangong Yu avoided Yu Chigong's gaze and stared blankly at the lonely seesaw on the green area of ​​the community, not knowing how to answer for a while.

——I don’t want to see you get hurt because of me, we’re just — strangers who met by chance.

But he couldn't say that.

"Because?" Seeing that he had been silent for a long time, Yu Chigong thought that what he said in a fit of anger and that slap in the face made him care.

"I have to go back to pack my things, so I won't send you up. Be careful upstairs, I'm leaving first." Nangong Yu didn't answer Yu Chigong's words, but hurriedly found a reason and left.

Yu Chigong looked at his lonely back, and wanted to chase after him to stop him, but he didn't move even half a step until Nangongyu was far away—Nangongyu didn't seem to want others to know about him.

It was almost midnight when Nangongyu returned to Xiuxinyuan.The hall was still a mess, he sighed, moved the painting into the studio, swept the ones on the floor into a small pile, then found a large jar in the abandoned storage room, and put the painting in it.

Looking at the powder in the jar, he wondered if these were the bones of the two-headed snake in the painting.He picked out a few broken teeth and looked at them carefully. He felt a little strange. If these were really the bones of the snake, why were they ground into pieces and hung on the wall here?Could this be the reason why Xiuxinyuan had accidents again and again?

He thought carefully about what happened today, and his eyes fell on the puddles of blood beside the tea table. Although Zhuo Zhuo's father said that Lin Qingyuan had a relapse of an old illness, he did not say that his illness had nothing to do with the Xiuxin Center, and he actually Hallucinations again.

But, why is Yu Chigong all right?Among the four, his physique should be the worst, and he was the first to come into contact with these powders.

Nangongyu couldn't figure it out, so he had to use a mop to wipe off the remaining blood. The blood made him feel uncomfortable all over.

After tidying up the hall, Nangongyu fell asleep. He was lying on the bed, looking at the ceiling, and the catastrophic fire in his childhood reappeared before his eyes.

In that fire, he had hallucinations for the first time. If it weren't for the hallucinations at that time, he would not have fallen to the current situation where he cannot return home.He touched his back, as if he could still feel the heart-piercing pain, but what hurt him the most was that after he was discharged from the hospital, he was no longer the original self.

The next day, Nangong Yu got up very early, and it was dawn, so she simply packed her luggage, locked the door, and drove away.

In the twilight of the morning, things on the side of the road gradually became clear. Nangongyu turned off the lights and played soothing music.In the sound of gurgling music, he left Lingnan City without knowing it, and two hours later, he came to a small town. At this time, he felt a little hungry, so he found a restaurant and prepared a simple meal. order something.

It was not time for dinner yet, and there were not too many customers in the restaurant, but the host was very enthusiastic, and soon, Nangongyu's order came up.He took two bites, felt his phone vibrate, took it out to check, it was Jin Shu calling, he put down his chopsticks, and quickly answered the phone.In the morning, I just packed my things and forgot about him.

"Hey."

"Mr. Nangong, where are you?" Jin Shu's voice was a little anxious. The door of the Xiuxin Hall, which was usually unlocked, was suddenly locked. He was worried that something happened to Nangongyu.

"I'm sorry, I forgot to tell you. I'm outside now. I don't need to go to Xiuxinyuan this month."

"Ah? Did I do something wrong?"

"No, you're doing very well, but I need to travel far away this month and not stay at home."

"Then... when will you come back, Mr. Nangong?" Jin Shu's heart was pounding, and his hands holding the phone were sweating. Could Mr. Nangong just leave suddenly and never come back again?

"About a month later." Nangong Yu said, "I'm sorry I didn't tell you in advance. As compensation, I will calculate your salary this month and give it to you together when I go back."

"Mr. Nangong, it's not about money, I'm just..." Jin Shu looked at the locked door of the Xiuxin Hall under the sun, bit his lips, and wanted to say, "I just don't want to leave you", but in the end he didn't say it. All he said was, "Please take care."

"En." Nangong Yu hung up the phone without saying anything.

Listening to the beeping busy tone on the phone, Jin Shu put the phone back, and left the Xiuxin Hall in a dejected manner.Full of expectations turned into complete disappointment. How would he spend a month without seeing Nangong Yu?The sun was shining brightly, and the scenery of Xiuxin Garden was unreal. The owner of this garden used to be so close to him, but now, he is so far away. If he hadn't been in this garden, he really thought he had done something wrong. field dream.One month later, will Mr. Nangong come back as promised?Will he still be alone when he comes back?

Nangongyu didn't hear the strangeness in Jin Shu's words. After eating, he continued his journey.

When it was almost dark, Nangong Yu finally came to the seaside, exhausted physically and mentally from a day's journey.He found a hotel, arranged his things, washed up briefly, fell asleep on the bed without taking off his clothes.

Yu Chigong heard that Nangong Yu was leaving, and originally planned to come to see him off in the morning, but when he arrived at Xiuxinyuan, Nangong Yu had already left.He quietly looked at the tightly-covered curtains of the Cultivation Hall, and then called Zhuo Zhuo.

"Nangong Yu is gone."

"What? He left?" Zhuoyue was a little surprised, "What happened?"

"Perhaps what happened last night made him change his mind."

"Last night? What happened last night?" Zhuo Zhuo asked.

"You don't remember?" Yu Chigong was a little surprised.

"Remember what? Did something happen in Xiuxinyuan?"
