Chapter 636 What was He Playing?
Xia Ruoxin was also shocked silly. She could barely open her eyes due to the glare of the sun. It was only until she got accustomed to the light that she realized that there was a man who covered the entire sky.
She opened her eyes wide.
She did not believe it.
She could not believe it.
Were her eyes playing tricks? Was this a dream?
How could it be him? Why was it him?
Why was he here? How could he be here?
Chu Lui, it was Chu Lui. Even if he had turned into ashes, she would still recognize him.
Pa! The door was slammed shut, and all the sunlight from outside was blocked. Outside was a beautiful weather with big fluffy clouds and a clear blue sky, but inside the house was hell and torturous silence.
“Where should I place him?” Chu Lui asked Xia Ruoxin as he directly carried Gao Yi.
Xia Ruoxin then recovered her senses and pointed towards the room door. “There.”
She knew this was not the time to ask questions as Gao Yi was not in good condition.
Chu Lui carried the man on his shoulder as if he did not weigh anything and brought him to his room. The things in the room were scattered all over the floor, and cut ropes were below the bed.
Bang! Gao Yi was thrown onto the bed. Just based on the sound, one could tell how painful it was. Right now, his face was still contorted from that; and it was as if his time had stopped at that moment.
Wei Lan held the door and walked in. Seeing that Wei Lan was almost going to fall, Xia Ruoxin hurriedly ran forward and held onto her.
“Xiao Yi… Was he okay?”
Just asking that had made her scared.
Okay… Was he really okay?
“He’s fine; he’s just unconscious.” Chu Lui arranged her hair. “He won’t be waking up anytime soon so we can talk again when he does.”
Wei Lan heaved a sigh of relief. Suddenly, there was pitch-black in front of her eyes; and she almost fell to the floor. Till now, her heart was still beating fast from the trauma. It was all her fault, all her fault. She should not have given in and released the rope on her son. She knew… she obviously knew that he had lost his sanity, but she still did it. If Xiao Yi had run out and then something had happened to him, she could not imagine the consequences.
“Auntie, I’ll bring you to rest.”
Xia Ruoxin held onto Wei Lan and was ready to bring her to rest. Wei Lan’s complexion was pale, and she really needed a good rest.
“Okay.” Wei Lan’s legs were still wobbling, and with the help of Xia Ruoxin, they inched slowly back to her room. She lay down, and all she could see was darkness.
Xia Ruoxin poured a cup of water and placed it in front of Chu Lui.
“Thank you.” Chu Lui took the cup and drank the water in big gulps. His entire body was filled with dust and dirt, and even his clothes had a large amount of dirt on it. The him that really cared about his appearance usually had dirt even on his shoes. One could just tell how much journey he had rushed to get here.
His eyes were slightly bloodshot, and there patches of gray below his eyes. His eye bags seemed pretty serious.
“Is there a room for me to sleep? Just let me rest for a while. You can argue with me when I’m awake, okay?”
He placed the cup in his hand down and lightly massaged his brow area. It was not hard to tell that he was indeed tired.
Xia Ruoxin stood up and opened the door to one of the guest rooms. Actually, she did not even know what to say to this man who suddenly appeared, let alone quarrel with him.
Sorry, she really did not have any spare energy to argue with people.
Chu Lui walked over and stopped in front of the door.
“Thank you.”
“No problem.” Xia Ruoxin threw the two words lightly and left.
She still had the same temper. Chu Lui’s smile was wiped away, and he rubbed his tired brows again. Indeed, he needed a good rest. He had not slept in two days. Even if his body was made out of iron, he could not resist anymore.
Moreover, he was not made out of iron. He was a human, a normal human.
Once his head hit the pillow, he fell into a deep sleep very quickly. Perhaps it was because there was her scent in the room, and his long-term insomnia was cured miraculously. With the light fragrance of flowers and the smell of roses, there was peace-loving and heart-warming… that was her scent.
In his sleep, the usual stern face he had started to look harmonious; and the lips that pressed together tightly usually curved upwards slightly.
When he woke up, it was almost nighttime. He sat up on his bed and habitually felt around for his bedside lamp. After touching around for some time, he could not feel anything until he finally realized something and woke up.
It turned out he was not at home anymore. He pulled at his clothes in disgust. He had worn this outfit for two days, and he was afraid it was going to turn moldy. He came here in a hurry so he did not bring much luggage with him, and he had only this set of clothes with him. Pulling over his sleeve to sniff, it was as if there really was a smell to it.
He had to go out and buy some clothes later. No, he still had to wear this first.
He opened the door and saw Xia Ruoxin setting the table outside.
All the bowls were set nicely.
One, two, three… four.
There were four bowls. There should be his.
No, there was still Rainy. He leaned against the door, and his stomach grumbled. Would he not even get a bowl of rice?
Gao Yi walked out while rubbing his neck; his gaze had met with Chu Lui’s.
Both of their gazes were fighting in the air for God knew how long before they finally each kept their own.
“Mister, are you not going to come over to eat?” Wei Lan asked Chu Lui. Why was he still standing? Was he not hungry?
One was his. Chu Lui was happy for a moment and walked over in a hurry. However, he was a bit embarrassed as she did not know if other people could smell the moldy smell of his clothes.
Xia Ruoxin took out another dish and sat down. The four of them quietly ate their food. Even Wei Lan could feel that the atmosphere was a bit weird.
She was curious about Chu Lui’s identity. She did not know where he came from; was he her son’s friend or Ruoxin’s? Why had they not mention him before? However, it was all thanks to him that Xiao Yi was fine now so she was truly grateful for him.
“This mister…”
Wei Lan wanted to say ‘thank you’, but she realized that she did not even know the person’s name.
“My name is Chu Lui. Auntie, you can just call me Ah Lui.” Chu Lui knew what Wei Lan was going to ask so he took the initiative to introduce himself.
At the same time, the man and woman beside him made a face.
“Why are you pretending to be good?” Gao Yi said.
“What are you playing at?” Xia Ruoxin questioned.
