Beep – Beep –
On the morning of the 21st of November, Brother Jue was woken up by the buzzing of the walkie-talkie.
Since he was sleeping in the living room, it was convenient for him to open the door.
About fifteen seconds later, Brother Jue was yawning in his pajamas as he walked to the door. He pressed the button on the wall and asked, "Who is it?"
"Hehehe … there's a package for you." The answer came from the walkie-talkie.
This sentence woke Feng Bujue up.
"You are …" Although the voice came from the walkie-talkie, Brother Jue quickly recognized the owner of the voice. "Woody?"
Click – Beep – Beep – Beep –
Before Feng Bujue could finish his sentence, the sound of hanging up came from the other end of the walkie-talkie.
"This guy … what is he doing?" Brother Jue didn't understand … why would a guy like Woody, who could teleport and had no manners, use a walkie-talkie.
Knock knock –
The next second, there were two knocks on the door beside him.
This time, before Brother Jue could speak, the person outside the door laughed loudly and said, "Hehehe … there's a package for you …"
"What the f * ck are you doing?" Feng Bujue cursed as he opened the door and yelled at the person outside.
Standing outside the door was Woody, who was wearing a courier uniform and holding a big package.
"Hehehe … I'm here to deliver the package." Woody replied with a smile.
"So … why didn't you teleport in?" Feng Bujue asked.
"Hehehe … how could I?" Woody laughed. "There's only one man and one woman in this house, what if I saw you two doing something good …"
"Ha!" Feng Bujue laughed and said, "Since you mentioned the so-called 'good thing' … I have to remind you that I won the bet, right? When are you going to pay off your debt? "
"Hehehe … Don't be in such a hurry. Aren't you going to invite me in first?" Woody replied.
"Come in, come in," Feng Bujue said as he turned around and walked towards the living room while stretching.
When he returned to the living room, the door to Ruo Yu's room happened to be opened. Wearing the same style of pajamas as his Brother Jue (they were both long-sleeved, long-bottomed, button-up flannel pajamas, but Feng Bujue's was blue, while Ruo Yu's was pink), Ruo Yu walked out of her room and asked sleepily, "Who is it? Knocking on my door so early in the morning. "
"See for yourself …" Feng Bujue tilted his head and casually replied.
Then, Ruo Yu looked over Brother Jue's shoulder and saw who it was …
At that moment, her expression changed and the spiritual energy in her body burst out, ready to fight at any time.
"Hehehe … As expected of a descendant of the Shui Family …" Woody pushed up the glasses on his nose bridge, "Although she hasn't undergone any systematic training, her fighting instincts are still very good when faced with danger …"
Ruo Yu ignored him and looked at Feng Bujue and asked concisely, "Woody?"
"Yes." Brother Jue was very calm and gave a definite answer.
Ruo Yu heard this and took two steps forward. She looked at Woody and said, "The last time we saw you … you didn't look like this, right?"
Indeed, compared to the last time they met at the carnival, the Woody in front of her looked slightly different. Of course, this "difference" didn't refer to the difference in appearance … Ruo Yu's "appearance" referred to "the appearance seen when using [Astral Vision]". In other words, the current Woody was very different from the last time they met.
"Hehehe … Of course, there's a reason." Woody replied with a smile, "That day was Halloween after all, and it was an outdoor event. If I showed off too much, it might cause some disastrous phenomenon. So, I suppressed my aura the whole time that day, and the Spirit you saw was weak. "
"Oh …" Ruo Yu nodded and replied expressionlessly, "Then, why are you here today?"
"Hmm?" Suddenly, a white light flashed on Woody's glasses. "I say … why are you mimicking Feng Bujue's way of speaking to ask me questions?"
"I didn't …" Ruo Yu replied.
After saying that, her expression shifted. After two seconds, she whispered with uncertainty, "Er … you didn't?"
"Hehehe …" Woody saw this and laughed wickedly. He walked toward the sofa. "Looks like you two get along quite well." Then, he sat down and placed the mail bag in his hand on the coffee table.
"Don't think you can change the topic just because you're rambling." Feng Bujue took two steps forward and sat across from Woody. "This kind of thing is my specialty. Don't try to show off in front of me."
"That's right." Ruo Yu walked to Bujue's side and sat down next to him. The two looked at each other like they were interrogating a criminal. With the coffee table between them, they looked at Woody. "Answer my question first."
"Hehehe … Fine." Woody shrugged and shook his head. "I really don't know what to do with you two." He paused for a second before continuing. "There are many things that I have to do today. Let's talk about them one by one …" As he spoke, he reached out and patted the mail bag on the table. "First, I am here as the boss of Dream Company to personally deliver the prize for the competition."
"What is the prize?" Feng Bujue asked immediately.
"Other than the prize for the preliminaries that hasn't been delivered yet — the limited edition T-shirt — the other prize is the winner's prize." Woody replied. "Hehehe … Considering the fact that the five members of your team meet each other quite often, I decided to deliver the whole team's prize to you."
"So …" Ruo Yu used her usual cold tone to continue, "What is it?"
"Hehehe … The prize for each of the five members is different. You'd better open it for yourselves," Woody replied.
"That is quite mysterious," Feng Bujue added.
"Hehehe …" Woody laughed. "The prize that I give out is chosen according to your taste … It will not disappoint you."
"Hehehe …" Feng Bujue laughed drily. "Just like how you gave a young man the Pegasus Cloth?"
"It is just a bronze cloth. It is not that rare." Woody smiled. "Hehehe … At the end of the day, a truly strong person is strong even without the cloth."
"I am not discussing whether he is strong or not," Feng Bujue said. "What I mean is … is it really a good idea to give out this thing as a prize?"
"I have already said that this thing is not that rare." Woody replied. "The appearance of a truly rare Celestial Weapon will cause many forces in various worlds to fight for it … As for something at the level of the cloth, even slightly powerful characters will not be interested in it …" He counted with his fingers. "Firstly, there are too many limitations … It needs to be approved by the will of the cloth itself, and it needs to be resonated with the small universe. Furthermore, only humanoid creatures can wear it. Secondly, its defensive power is too weak … Not only will it be frozen at low temperatures, it will also be shattered by various physical attacks. Although it has the ability to self-repair and grow, both are too slow. Thirdly, and this is the point that makes people speechless … Most of the time, this thing is used to gain popularity. It does not increase one's combat power by much. After all this time, it still depends on whose small universe is at a higher level. "
"Understood." Feng Bujue snapped his fingers and continued, "Even if we give it to Brother Ma, he will not be able to do anything with it, and he will not be targeted by any supernatural forces because of it. So … if we give it to him, we give it to him. "
"Hehehe … That's right …" Wu Di replied.
"Alright, this is the first thing," Ruo Yu said at this time. "Please tell us the next thing."
"The second thing … Hehehe …" Woody's glasses flashed again. He turned his face and deliberately lowered his voice. He said to Feng Bujue, "This thing … Is it appropriate for us to tell her?"
"Hmm …" Feng Bujue frowned and muttered, as if he was thinking.
"Hey." Ruo Yu immediately elbowed Brother Jue's arm. She looked at the latter and said, "He hasn't said anything yet, and you already know?"
"I …" Feng Bujue also knew that there was no way he could hide it here. "I know a little."
"Oh." Ruo Yu stared at him. "Then what makes you decide whether it's appropriate for you to tell me this?"
"Okay …" Feng Bujue avoided her gaze. "I'll tell you …"
"Hehehe …" Woody continued, "Then I'll tell you."
"Hurry up if you want to say it." Brother Jue urged in a rough tone.
Woody laughed a few more times, then looked at Ruo Yu and said, "Feng Bujue's' fear 'has been sealed. You know about it, right?"
"Yes," Ruo Yu replied immediately.
"Your 'love' has also been sealed. You know that, right?" Woody asked again.
After hearing this, Ruo Yu's expression changed. After five or six seconds, she replied, "I don't know …"
"Hehe … It's normal that you don't know. Because your situation is different from Feng Bujue's." Woody continued, "Feng Bujue's' fear 'was sealed by me more than nine months ago. As for your' love ', it was already sealed when you were still a baby …"
Woody paused for two seconds to observe the changes in Ruo Yu's eyes. Then, he said, "Hehehe … Don't look at me like that. I didn't put the seal on you. It was a colleague of mine. As for the reason … I can't tell you at this stage. "
Ruo Yu heard this and thought for a moment. Then, she looked at Feng Bujue. "You already know all this?"
"Yes, it's been a while," Feng Bujue replied.
"You know that I'm not in love with you and won't fall in love with you. Why are you still in a relationship with me?" Ruo Yu didn't care that there was a demon sitting next to her.
"When I fell in love with you …" Feng Bujue replied in a calm tone, "I didn't know that your 'love' had been sealed." He didn't care that there was a demon sitting next to him. His expression didn't change as he said, "When I found out, it was already too late." He looked straight into Ruo Yu's eyes and said in a quarrelsome manner, "I'm a … stubborn person. I won't give up halfway just because of a little difficulty."
"Falling in love with someone who can't possibly fall in love with you is just a 'little difficulty' for you?" Ruo Yu asked again.
"That's right." Feng Bujue said and glanced sideways at Woody. "And, I've already solved this problem."
Woody took the opportunity to continue the conversation and said to Ruo Yu, "Hehehe … Yes, he's really going all out …"
In the next two minutes, Woody described his bet with Feng Bujue to Ruo Yu and added some details about the seal. After he finished, he was silent for a moment, waiting for her to digest all the information.
After Ruo Yu heard everything, she pondered for a long time. Then, she said to Woody in a lukewarm manner, "So, the second thing you're here to do today is to remove the seal in my brain?"
"Yes," Woody replied.
"Mm …" Ruo Yu nodded slightly. "I understand …" Then, she stood up. "I refuse."
After saying these three words, she turned and left.
"What are you doing …" Feng Bujue quickly stood up and grabbed Ruo Yu's arm.
However, Ruo Yu simply shook off his hand and ignored Brother Bujue's words. She replied in a cold tone, "I've also disturbed you for quite a long time. It's time to go back."
This sentence made Feng Bujue's expression change several times. His eyes flashed with many complicated and indescribable emotions.
He seemed to want to say something … but in the end, he didn't say anything.
"You guys take your time talking. I'm going to pack my luggage. I won't accompany you guys." Ruo Yu … said as she walked back to her room and closed the door.
…
That day, at dusk.
Woody had already left.
Ruo Yu had also left.
Feng Bujue moved a chair and sat in front of the window, bathing in the setting sun.
On the slightly bumpy wall in front of him, the traces of Arthas' "big paw print" could still be faintly seen.
Behind him in the living room, the beautiful figures of the two people seemed to be still in front of him.
However, at this moment, they had already left.
Although this was not a very large room, with two people missing, it felt … empty all of a sudden.
For so many years, this was the first time that Feng Bujue felt … like his heart had been emptied.
Looking back at the huge room, the days that the two of them and the cat spent together were still vivid in his mind. Although this period of time was not considered long, now that he thought about it … every day was worth longing for.
The reason why people would feel that their hearts were hollowed out was precisely because … their hearts were once filled with some beautiful things.
However, we tend to overlook those little bits of happiness until … the moment when we lose them.
"Did I do something wrong?" Feng Bujue slumped on the chair and looked at the setting sun as he asked himself this question.
"Maybe …" Two seconds later, he answered himself.
"Isn't it enough to lie and hide? Isn't that what I'm best at? "Then, he asked himself another question.
This time, he was silent for a full minute before he spoke again. "Compared to lying to her … it turns out … I'd rather lie to myself …"
