Super Allrounder

Kapitel 44

Just as the two were lost in their own thoughts, a small, pink figure suddenly darted out and landed in front of them.

"Haha, I caught you, didn't I? I told you no one could escape my discerning eyes, Yin Wuxiao... Huh?" The little girl shouted smugly at first, but then she was frightened by what she saw.

"Two...two Fenglang brothers?" The usually clever and witty little face turned a little blank for once.

The two boys froze instantly, staring at each other as if a mirror had been placed between them.

"Two?" The little girl stretched out her short, chubby fingers in confusion and counted carefully: "One, two... That's right, there are two."

The two boys' mouths began to twitch. Until they could figure out a way to fool the little girl, they had no choice but to continue posing in the same way.

The little girl couldn't help but reach out and pinch their cheeks without any gentleness, harder and harder, until they were red! Why aren't they making a sound? Could it be... that they're both dummies?

This girl's grip is way too strong! The two of them were twisted until they were grimacing, but they dared not utter a sound, but... but it really hurt!

Qiao Fenglang gave Mu Li a wink, and the latter immediately understood and jumped up, casually picking a fragrant wildflower from the side.

"Xiao'er!"

"Wow!" The little girl was startled and screamed. After screaming, she slammed her little fists and legs at the other person.

"Monster, fight the monster!"

"Wait..." Mu Li was a little overwhelmed. "Brother Feng... Brother Feng Lang has something to give you."

"Thing? What is it?" The little girl stopped what she was doing upon hearing the sound, showing no wariness towards the creature that appeared to be a monster.

"Hehe..." Mu Li chuckled wickedly and poked the little wildflower in his hand directly under the little girl's nose.

"Flowers!" The little girl's eyes lit up, but then the strong fragrance of wildflowers immediately made her nostrils itch intensely.

"Ah...ah...achoo!" The little girl opened her mouth wide and sneezed loudly, completely lacking any ladylike manners.

When she opened her eyes again, all she could see was a vast expanse of grass.

"Huh?" She rubbed her eyes. Where did he go?

No, she smiled slyly. It must be hiding behind her, that must be it.

She suddenly turned around and jumped: "Ha!"

Huh? There's nothing behind her either. No one is hiding there, and no one has been frightened by her.

Could she have really seen wrong? She rubbed her eyes again.

"Xiao'er." A young man walked over from afar.

"Brother Fenglang!" The little girl excitedly rushed over. "I'm telling you, I just saw two of you!"

"How could that be?" Qiao Fenglang replied with equal surprise, "You must have seen wrong, right?"

"No way..." That's strange... She pouted in annoyance.

Qiao Fenglang exchanged a relieved glance with Mu Li, who was hiding in the bushes. Thank goodness they ran fast; that little girl was truly unpredictable…

Under the Trees in the Garden of Extra Chapters

Fifteen years later.

In a secluded valley, a thatched hut is shrouded in morning mist. In front of the hut, two young men of similar age stand facing each other.

"Let me see her."

"She won't see you, give up on that idea."

“She will meet me. I am her son, her biological son.”

"That doesn't matter to her anymore. She just wants to live out her days in peace in this valley. She doesn't want to see anyone or talk to anyone anymore."

Even me?

Even if it's you.

"I don't believe it. I must see her today."

The two began to fight. The man guarding the front of the house only defended and did not attack. After a few moves, his opponent gained the upper hand and stepped to the door of the hut first. Seeing this, he simply stood in front of the door with his body.

"If you want to get over here, you must first step over my dead body."

Do you think I wouldn't dare?

A sharp, clear female voice suddenly rang out from inside the room.

"No fault! You can't stop him, let him in."

"But...Master..."

"Let him in." This time, the woman's tone was firm and left no room for argument.

"Yes." Wu Guo bowed his head, opened the door, and respectfully gestured to the other man, behaving as if they were two different people.

Qiao Fenglang gathered his clothes and stepped into the room.

The windows and doors were tightly closed, and there was no light inside. It took Qiao Fenglang a long time to make out the figure of the woman sitting behind the table with her back to him. She was dressed simply and roughly, and her long hair cascaded down her back like a waterfall. However, her originally jet-black hair had now faded to gray as if overnight, making her look much older.

Qiao Fenglang suddenly felt uneasy. After hesitating for a long time, he finally called out, "Mother."

With his back to him, Mu Wanfeng let out a deep sigh: "Is it Lang'er?"

"Yes, Mother."

"Since you're here, where's Ali? Why didn't Ali come?"

"..." Qiao Fenglang was silent. After a long while, he replied, "Mother, you've forgotten, Ali is dead. He died in the explosion at Seven Absolute Cliff a month ago."

Mu Wanfeng trembled slightly.

"Yes, Ali is dead."

"Yes, Ali is dead."

"Ali is dead, why are you here?"

"Mother, I've come to see you."

"You two are twins. Ali is dead, and I only care about you. What use are you to me?"

"mother……"

"Go away, I won't see you unless you give Ali back to me, give my Ali back to me, otherwise I won't see you."

“Mother…” Qiao Fenglang stepped forward, his breathing rapid.

Mu Wanfeng gently waved her sleeve, and the door opened.

Qiao Fenglang sighed, turned around and walked out the door.

"Lang'er," Mu Wanfeng suddenly called out to him.

"What?" Suddenly a glimmer of hope appeared, and Qiao Fenglang turned around in surprise.

"I...I'll ask you one more time, Ali...did you really kill him with your own hands?"

Qiao Fenglang was stunned.

"Lang'er?"

The sound of the explosion that day still seemed to echo in his mind, and he could almost hear Mu Li's intermittent voice: "You can live for my sake too."

He suddenly came to his senses.

"Yes," he replied.

Then, there was a moment of silence. "...You can leave now." Mu Wanfeng's voice was icy cold, devoid of any emotion.

Qiao Fenglang strode out the door without looking back, the wooden door slamming shut behind him. He looked up, the sunlight outside making him dizzy.

He straightened up, not even glancing at Wu Guo standing to the side, and strode away. But after less than ten steps, he began to sway, unable to support himself. Just as he was about to fall, a pair of delicate, jade-like hands caught him in time.

"Your injuries haven't healed yet," Yuwen Cuiyu whispered in his ear.

Qiao Fenglang's body stiffened, and he suddenly pushed away the woman who was carefully supporting him: "Get away from me!"

Yuwen Cuiyu was pushed back two steps by him and stood there, no longer moving forward.

"On the day of the explosion, only you and the young master in blue survived. The young master in blue is still seriously injured and bedridden, his life hanging in the balance. Can't you tell me what happened back then?"

Qiao Fenglang turned his back. "Whatever happens, it's none of your business."

Upon hearing this, Yuwen Cuiyu trembled, then clenched her fist tightly, her slender fingertips digging into her palm.

"Is it... none of my business?"

Qiao Fenglang ignored her, calmed his breathing, and walked forward.

"Wait!" Yuwen Cuiyu called out to him from behind. "What...what are your plans for the future?"

Qiao Fenglang remained silent. He wanted to say "It's none of your business" again, but what came out was: "Build a thatched hut outside the valley."

"Oh." Yuwen Cuiyu nodded. "But... what if she refuses to see you for the rest of her life?"

"Then I will live out my life here."

"Then... have you thought about what I should do?"

Qiao Fenglang frowned: "What you do is none of my business."

“Qiao…” Yuwen Cuiyu hurriedly stopped him, “I mean, I know I have no right to ask this…” She smiled bitterly, “but I still have to ask, have you… have you ever felt anything for me? Even a little bit?”

Qiao Fenglang paused for a moment.

Yuwen Cuiyu looked at his retreating figure with hope, and in that instant, she felt as if she had become clean and clear again, with no other distracting thoughts in the world.

Qiao Fenglang paused only briefly before continuing forward without the slightest hesitation, leaving Yuwen Cuiyu alone, looking dazed.

Can things that have already happened never be erased?
