Volume 1 Hello, Lu Mingfei Chapter 13: Darkness of the Rainfall (Thirteen)
For the first time, Chu Zihang understood what it was like to take the head of an enemy general among ten thousand people as described in ancient books. He had never imagined that a man could be so majestic, and this man was his father.
He and Lu Mingfei finally arrived at the car. At this time, Chu Zihang still remembered the good tradition of ladies first and let Lu Mingfei rush into the passenger seat first. He turned his head and shouted at the rain, "Dad!"
More and more shadows were coming from all directions, and the man had little chance . He heard Chu Zihang's call, and while waving his knife, he gave him a thumbs up and smiled at him, then suddenly turned back to Maybach and rushed towards Odin!
The shadows who got the box had also fought back. The man's domain expanded to cover everyone, except Odin. The god of war in mythology slowly raised Gungnir, and it was so slow that it was like a slow motion shot. But it was just a spear-throwing posture that even an old man could do. Countless lightning flashed and flew, and dark golden arcs fell forward like stars. Thousands of strikes in an instant, each light and shadow was an elite stab. The deadpool facing Odin, the elevated road surface, or the fence were left with thousands of scars in the blink of an eye, and then Gungnir's sharp edge rushed straight at the man!
The man ignored the deadpools and did not try to evade them. Even when time was slowing down, he still had no way to avoid Gungnir's stab. It was a spear that was sure to hit, a weapon that could transcend the reversal of cause and effect. No matter what method he used, Gungnir would eventually nail all the rebels to death with precision and bring down divine punishment from the clouds.
Murasame cut a tall Deadpool in half, and before he could fall to the ground, the man had stepped on his head, swung his knife and spun, jumping high. He was too small, facing something like Odin, like a flea to a human, but fleas have amazing jumping power, and can reach the same height as a human when they burst out with all their strength. He is that flea, and he wants to use Murasame to cut open the arrogant god!
A dense golden current enveloped the man, and blood suddenly gushed out from his back, followed by more scars suddenly appearing all over his body. At first, they were just the size of a needle prick or a pencil sharpener scratch. Each time, the wound would become a little bigger than the last, and in the end, the wound on his back was as long as a ravine, and his spine could even be clearly seen. The man fell, and countless deadpools stretched out their steel-like bone claws, scrambling to share the food that was about to fall.
"Son! Drive away!" The man suddenly turned around and yelled at Chu Zihang. A thick red mist was steaming from his body. Dark green scales were growing along his neck towards his face. His already strong muscles continued to bulge, comparable to Bruce Lee at his best.
Chu Zihang suddenly understood that the man just wanted to attract all the deadpools surrounding them to himself. Only by using himself as bait would the deadpools forget the existence of the Maybach.
“Be obedient! Remember what you promised me!” The man fell into the endless black shadow, but his roar still broke through the rain curtain, “If I die, you are the only thing I will have left in this world. If you die too, I will have nothing in this world! Believe in Dad, you must live so that we can meet again in the future! Run away! Dad, I am going to use my invincible ultimate move!”
Lu Mingfei lay on the passenger seat and looked back. She had never seen such an awesome man. The man who was said to burn brightly until the last moment of his life actually existed. Even his death was the inheritance of his will.
"Dad!" Chu Zihang suddenly opened the driver's door! He wanted to go back, he wanted to die with that man! What kind of invincible killing blow, is using your life as an exchange your ridiculous last words? ! Do you think I'm a child!
“Brother, don’t go!” Lu Mingfei grabbed Chu Zihang’s thigh and hugged his waist tightly.
"Let go!" Chu Zihang held the car door and rushed out like a bull. Lu Mingfei was dragged down by him and fell off the driver's seat. The narrow dashboard was full of various dashboards and instruments, and it hurt from the bumps and bruises. She thought her nose must be bleeding, but she still tried her best to stop Chu Zihang from going back.
“If you die too, who will remember your father!” Lu Mingfei yelled, “Your mother has a new man, she won’t think today is a day that needs to be commemorated, you are the only one in this world who still cares about him! If even the last person who cares about him is gone, who would know that he is not a coward at all, but the most awesome father in the world! You are so smart and outstanding, one day in the future you must stand in the center of the stage and loudly tell everyone that Chu Tianjiao is your father! Let those who have never cared about him remember this name! It was this man who taught Chu Zihang!”
Chu Zihang was still rushing out, and Lu Mingfei got anxious and simply bit Chu Zihang's school uniform belt with her teeth. Chu Zihang broke free and went out, and Lu Mingfei was also dragged out and thrown hard in the rain, with stars in her eyes, and she subconsciously and instinctively whimpered in pain.
This sound made Chu Zihang turn around and look at her. The girl had spent so much time trying to stop him that she looked like she had been hit by a basketball on the court, with a bruised face and nose.
Both his father and stepfather had asked Chu Zihang to be nice to the girls around them, so he knew that there was a fan club of Chu Shao composed of girls in Shilan Middle School, but he pretended not to know and was equally nice to everyone so that no one would be jealous or sad for him.
But today, Chu Zihang made a girl cry for the first time. Maybe it was because of the pain, or maybe it was because of being treated so violently. In any case, Chu Zihang felt a tight grip on his heart. He didn't like to see any girl crying in front of him, as it would make him sad.
He knelt down on one knee, picked up Lu Mingfei and put her back in the passenger seat.
“Brother, don’t go back…” Lu Mingfei’s face was covered in water, and she couldn’t tell which was rain stains and which were tears.
A boy is going to die in battle with his father. This kind of thing should not be her turn as an outsider to intervene. Lu Mingfei just thought of Shilan Middle School and how many girls like to watch Chu Zihang play basketball on the playground, chattering about how good he is and how they must marry him in the future. If Chu Zihang died, many people would be sad, right? Such an excellent sister, such a gentle senior brother to everyone, there are so many bad people in the world who are still alive, why should Chu Zihang be the one to die?
Chu Zihang sat back in the driver's seat and faced the center console without the key. He suddenly remembered why the man always loved to show off this car to him.
"Start!" he said.
The engine roared, Chu Zihang started in reverse gear, and the car moved backwards at high speed. At his age, he shouldn't be able to drive, but the man secretly taught him how to drive, using this Maybach. They once drove on the dirt road in the suburbs with the sunroof open in the spring.
"I'm sorry." Chu Zihang whispered, "You are right... Dad is right too... If I die, then no one will remember him or care about him... So I can't die!"
The Maybach roared forward, and the ghostly Deadpool circled in front of them. Chu Zihang accelerated expressionlessly, and the Maybach slammed into the group of Deadpools head-on, crushing them under its high-speed wheels. The sound of bones cracking was just like a bunch of juicy insects had just been stepped on to death.
"Great job, son! Run! Keep running! Never look back!"
Chu Zihang did whatever the man said. He bit his lips tightly. Only in this way could he hold back the tears. His father said that men should not cry, especially in front of girls, because they would think you are useless. You have to act cocky when you appear in front of beautiful girls.
Lu Mingfei stared blankly at that resolute face. This was probably the ugliest moment in Chu Zihang's life. That handsome face was distorted beyond recognition due to pain. She never expected that the person witnessing this moment would be an ordinary high school girl like her.
Father, dear father, you've done me great wrong.
You have married me to a boy who is too young.
I am twenty twelve and he is but fourteen.
He's busy but he's growing daily.
The car stereo was turned on again without knowing when, and Chu Zihang suddenly understood the song. How could a man who claimed that foreign food was generally unpalatable not understand English? He just wanted to leave these words to Chu Zihang.
The man is the father in the song, and the rich family is the stepfather. When Chu Zihang stays with his stepfather, he is always Chu Zihang, the sister of Shilan Middle School, the senior brother of the whole nation with good looks, wealth and status. If he follows the man, he will just be a talented person from a poor family. In a place like Shilan Middle School, there are people like this everywhere, and no one would be willing to take a second look, just like Lu Mingfei.
He always said that you would understand in the future, and Chu Zihang did understand, but where was that person? He was probably dead.
What is death? No amount of apologies can bring back the past, no amount of love can bring back the past, all the connections between you and him are severed, and there is no going back after the eternal farewell. That means he is truly dead, dead to the point where he cannot die any more.
On the elevated road, the silver Maybach was running wildly, splashing water half a person's height under the tires, and the cold wind poured in from the broken window, blowing whirringly. The faster the car went, the faster the wind blew, and the cold rain hit Chu Zihang's face. But he didn't feel cold, nor did he feel pain. Only the man's voice and the song were playing in his ears.
Lu Mingfei curled up in the passenger seat. If she didn't say anything, it would be like Chu Zihang was the only one here. She knew that any words of comfort at this time would be bullshit. The best option was to pretend that she didn't exist and let her senior brother be alone.
She turned her head to look at the rearview mirror. The ghosts did not chase her. She secretly glanced at her senior brother who was driving.
It turns out that he is not always so glamorous. The world of the Prince Charming is actually dark. It is just that he always brings light when he walks in front of people, so everyone believes that he is a prince. But even his white horse is borrowed. In fact, he is just an ordinary child, not so glorious.
