Chen Zu'an always felt as if everyone knew something, and he was the only one who was still in the dark.
He looked at Lü Shu, who was cutting his way through the thistles and thorns as he flew to the Immortal City, and suddenly felt a little unfamiliar. That familiar figure seemed to be hiding an unfamiliar soul, which made Chen Zu'an feel a little uneasy.
Carol said that he was coming back, but Chen Zu'an felt that the one who came back … might not be Lü Shu.
Others might not feel this way, because in their eyes, the Ninth Tengra was just a symbol. They didn't care what kind of personality he had, nor did they care what kind of past he had, as long as he was powerful and mysterious, that was enough.
But for Chen Zu'an, the title of the Ninth Tengra was not simple. He had experienced so much with Lü Shu, going through life and death together since the Salt Lake Ruins … Although to be precise, it was Lü Shu who had gone through life and death, and he had followed him.
But he, Chen Zu'an, did not need a teammate who only possessed great strength. What he needed was a friend.
No matter how everyone joked, no matter how much Lü Shu hurt his heart, Chen Zu'an could still laugh without a care in the world, and he could still crazily test the edge of survival.
If that person was no longer Lü Shu, but another soul, would it still be the same?
They would no longer eat hotpot together, they would no longer joke together, and no one would ask Chen Zu'an why he did not wear a hat anymore.
That kind of life would be so lonely.
"I don't want him to come back," Chen Zu'an said in a low voice.
"Hmm?" Carol looked at Chen Zu'an in surprise.
Chen Zu'an lowered his head, his expression hidden in the shadows. "I like the current Brother Tree better. Don't you think Brother Tree is pretty good?"
Carol thought for a moment, and suddenly laughed. "That's true. Then it depends on his own choice."
…
The sea of clouds in the sky had already calmed down before Lü Shu arrived. When Lü Shu arrived in front of Immortal City's gate, that tightly shut gate had already opened with a loud rumble. There were no streets or anything else inside, only a black hole that was so deep that it seemed like nothingness.
Lü Shu didn't think too much and walked in with the Swallowing Thief in hand. The Swallowing Thief's raging flames reflected Lü Shu's emotions. He wanted to find Lü Xiaoyu.
However, the moment he stepped through the door, he remained in the same posture as if he was a statue. The entire world fell into the strangest rule. Lü Shu's mind became empty, as if he had forgotten many things.
At this moment, his memory was covered by a haze, and there was a trace of loss in his heart.
The anti-theft door of an old family building opened in front of him. It was the scorching hot season, and there were a few dishes on the dining table in this' home '. Although they didn't look like much, they were very appetizing.
The dim yellow light was already on, and a gentle but weathered woman walked out of the kitchen with rice in her hands. She smiled at him and said, "Xiaoshu, you're back from school? Wash your hands and eat. "
Lü Shu was stunned for three seconds. "Mom?"
At this time, the gentle woman frowned. "Did you do badly in your exams again? I'll call your class teacher later and ask about your recent performance in school!"
Lü Shu fell into deep thought again. He felt that something was wrong, but everything seemed so natural. He felt a little guilty. "I've been doing pretty well in school recently."
The old world seemed to have shattered, and the new world had arrived. The past had been covered in dust, and those deep memories were no longer there.
Lü Shu, 17 years old, a third-year high school student. Everything seemed ordinary, and he basically had everything that others had.
…
At the age of 17, he studied hard in his third-year high school days. Like most of the third-year high school students, he ran like his life depended on it. It was an age where youth was burning, and there was no need to regret anything. When the college entrance exam was approaching, the last mock exam was not very good, and Lü Shu felt that he could only get into a second-tier university.
At the age of 18, the college entrance exam was over, and Lü Shu entered university.
When he graduated, a girl confessed to him. She was very beautiful, the prettiest girl in the class. The prettiest girl in the class was liked by many people, and she could play the piano. She lived in the compound of the municipal party committee, and it was said that after she graduated from the college entrance exam, her family gave her a car.
But Lü Shu rejected her. Many students looked at Lü Shu with surprise, but they didn't know why Lü Shu would make such a choice.
In fact, Lü Shu himself didn't know. He stood on the field in the hot summer afternoon, looking at the weeds that had grown on the field. The scorching sun shone on the field like a sea of light.
Lü Shu felt as if he was waiting for someone, so he couldn't say yes.
At the age of 21, Lü Shu was in his third-year high school. His classmates began to prepare for the postgraduate entrance exam, but Lü Shu was unwilling to continue to waste time in the ivory tower.
His grades were mediocre, and the teachers didn't like or hate him. They didn't even have any impression of him.
During this period, there was a girl who chased after Lü Shu. It wasn't beautiful, but it wasn't ugly either. Lü Shu told the girl that he was waiting for the person in his life, and the girl left in tears.
It was raining heavily that day, and Lü Shu stood on the field in a daze. He always felt as if he had forgotten something, as if the most important thing in his life … was gone.
When he returned to the dormitory, the news of Lü Shu rejecting the girl had already spread. His roommates teased Lü Shu, "Shu, you're really a blockhead. You've been single for so long, and I've never seen you have any feelings for anyone. Why are you pretending to be a Casanova, and you're still waiting for the person in your life? Hahaha."
Lü Shu didn't say anything, because he himself didn't know who he was waiting for.
At the age of 22, Lü Shu graduated from university. He had an ordinary education and an ordinary family, so it was difficult for him to find a good job.
His classmates left one by one, and Lü Shu stayed in the city. His monthly salary seemed to be insufficient for anything, so he didn't have to date anyone. That was why he barely had a surplus.
A classmate whose family owned a factory said to Lü Shu, "Why don't you come and work in my family's factory?"
Lü Shu rejected his classmate's good intentions, and watched as his classmate drove away in a luxury car.
At the age of 27, Lü Shu attended many weddings, and one of his classmates even wanted a second child.
There were fewer and fewer people at the class reunion. Either they were too busy with work, or they couldn't get away from taking care of their children at home. There weren't many people at the reunion, and only a few lonely people were left drinking and drinking.
During the reunion, one of his good friends suddenly said, "Do you know that the prettiest girl in our high school is still single? She's still thinking about you."
Lü Shu shook his head, "I have someone in my heart."
His good friends laughed heartily, "Don't joke around, do you think we don't know whether you have someone in your heart or not?"
His parents began to arrange blind dates for Lü Shu, and Lü Shu had to deal with this awkward dinner in the name of concern. He met more than ten girls, but none of them was the person he was waiting for.
Slowly, Lü Shu himself started to waver.
Where was that person?
When his friends persuaded Lü Shu while drinking, they began to sigh and say, "Oh Shu, in this life, most people don't marry the person they like the most. Everyone has long changed from the mentality of 'it has to be you' to 'it's fine if it's you'. Just make do with it!"
