Chapter 58.3 : We’re Now Even
"What happened? Is it an earthquake? ?" The grey robed man was highly fl.u.s.tered as he looked at Bai Zhi Yan to ask. Seeing that there was nothing happening anymore, his head then dropped back onto the table, and immediately made long and peaceful breathing noises.
The corner of Bai Zhi Yan’s mouth twitched. [The day will come that this fella would not even know what killed him.]
— Eternal Peace Duke’s Manor —
In the Tranquil Abode, a tall and thin youth sat quietly on the stone stool within the courtyard, carrying the little snow toad in one hand, the other holding a medical book, where its edges were a little tattered, like it had been flipped and read frequently.
"Little Snow, has Qing Yu gone away? She has never not come home for so many days before."
The youth muttered softly, and looking at his eyes closely, they were rather red and bloodshot.
Ever since the day the All Saints Day festival ended, Qing Yu had gone missing, and had not come back at all. He had not closed his eyes to sleep for several days as all of this must be a dream. If he allowed himself to sleep now, he feared he would not be able to wake up from this nightmare.
He believed that Qing Yu will definitely come back. She had promised him that she would always be by his side.
The youth then covered his eyes with one hand, looking like he was trying to suppress the tears that were surging up inside.
The snow toad in his arm suddenly leapt out with a croak, the little creature who had been silent for the past few days suddenly excited where a highly familiar voice filled with mirth was then heard ringing out: "What are you two doing out here? Waiting for me?"
Qing Yu’s back immediately stiffened. [Was he..... hallucinating?]
"Little Bei, right in the middle of the day and you’re dozing off? !" A hand suddenly slapped him on the shoulder, the slightly cold touch pa.s.sing through his clothes onto his skin. The hand covering the youth’s eyes lowered and he quickly turned himself around, to stare fixedly at the young lady behind him.
The red and bloodshot eyes startled Qing Yu a moment. "What happened?" [It has only been a few days she did not see the kid and he looked such a wretched sight, like he had been afflicted with lunacy.]
Qing Bei just stared at her with wide eyes, looking unblinkingly at her, and then hugging her waist like a little child and burying his head into her as he uttered with a choked voice: "I thought you left."
Qing Yu was a little shocked by his sudden actions for an instant and she then looked on helplessly at the lost and pitiful youth who was acting like he had suffered endless aggrievement outside. She reached her hand out and ruffled his head. "Silly boy. What are you doing? How old are you already and you’re still crying your nose red? Aren’t you ashamed?"
"You said you will never abandon me, and will always be by my side!" The youth was not showing the slightest sliver of shame as he went on to complain persistently.
"Who has abandoned you? I just encountered something unexpected and that is why." Qing Yu said with a sigh. If she had not gone out that day, it was thought that the several hundred people in the Imperial Palace Grand Hall would have met with disaster. But how was she going to tell the kid about that?
Although he was slowly growing, but in many areas, he was still not strong enough.
Qing Yu peeled herself out from the youth’s bear hug, and looked at that haggard countenance that had not slept for several days, her expression serious and stern. "Such situations, I hope that it will not only be the first time, but also for it to be the last time."
Qing Bei was taken aback, seeing her suddenly become so serious.
"You must remember this. In this world, n.o.body can be depended upon, and you can only depend on yourself." Qing Yu patted him on the shoulder, her eyes dark. "You must become strong, and you must first learn to have no weaknesses. You must still be able to continue to live no matter who leaves you. Do you understand? It is the same even for me. If the day comes that I am no longer around, I hope that you will be able to be so powerful that no one dares to trifle with you."
