Chapter 216

The person standing in front of him was Lu Qi. He didn’t stay with Du Xin for a few days, because he had some other things to do. He just came to see Du Xin today, but he didn’t expect to see this. He wondered what was inside Du Xin’s head.

He didn’t make any good impressions on Xu Ran because of the past, now he came to find trouble again. King Yan had said to him clearly that the Second Young Master’s husband waited for himself to make a dicision. After so many years of marriage and three children, the Second Young Master would never be separated from Xu Ran. So he was King Yan’s brother-in-law, nobody would offend him.

But Du Xin was a idiot. Mm, the biggest idiot. He really needed to be taught a lesson!

Lu Qi thought hard about how to make Xu Ran less angry.

Zhuo Yun, who didn’t find Xu Ran and Du Xin , also came over. Seeing the angry look on Xu Ran’s face and the person who he didn’t know, standing in front of him, Zhuo Yun thought that Xu Ran must be in conflict with this person.

In an unreasonable way, Zhuo Yun rushed up to Lu Qi and said, ” What do you want to do?”

Xu Ran, who was angry, calmed down a little when he saw Zhuo Yun come. He was afraid of scaring Zhuo Yun and he also didn’t want Zhuo Yun to know that he knew Lu Qi.

Shaking his head, Xu Ran explained, ” Nothing. He is Du Xin’s friend. We just talked about some things, but we didn’t agree. He tried to stop me and continue the conversation, but I wouldn’t. Let’s go!”

After saying that, before Lu Qi and Zhuo Yun could react, Xu Ran pulled Zhuo Yun away, still very angry.

Du Xin wanted to chase Xu Ran but was stopped by Lu Qi.

Du Xin shouted angrily, stamping his feet, “Let go of me! Xu Ran has left. I must stop him and I’m going to his house!

Du Xin spoke louder and louder. Lu Qi was afraid that the people in front of them would hear him, so he covered Du Xin’s mouth with his hand.

Unable to chase or shout, Du Xin would be angry to death.

After Xu Ran disappeared, Lu Qi let go of him. Du Xin was very unhappy, he bit on the back of Lu Qi’s hand so hard that it was bleeding.

Lu Qi instinctively pushed him away,  but he was so strong that he pushed Du Xin over.

Du Xin, lying on the ground, felt even more aggrieved and started to blame Lu Qi, “Why are you stopping me?! Whoever I want to find is my freedom. I can do whatever I want. Who are you to interfere with me?! You even pushed me over. How does it matter to you?

Pushing Du Xin over, Lu Qi felt a little guilty, but Du Xin’s constant questioning made Lu Qi angry, too.

Then he pulled Du Xin up and gave him a slap, which made Du Xin confused.

Instead of stopping, Lu Qi began to scold Du Xin about the things in the past.

“How many times have I told you not to provoke Xu Ran? But you don’t listen to me. Don’t you know his identity?  This time, you even threatened him with hundreds of trees  for the same reason. Do you know if King Yan know about that, you will die. Du Xin, your uaual stupidity is understandable, but how can you do such a thing? You really have no brains! ”

Lu Qi roared these out , which attracted the attention of the pedestrians.

Du Xin who was in a rage became more angry by his roar,  and he said carelessly, “What does it matter to you? Did I let you get involved? Lu Qi, let me tell you, even King Yan kills me, I’m still going to his house. I’m going today and I want to see what you can do with me.

“You only think about you. Have you ever thought about your father or your family? If King Yan is angry at them, what should they do? Du Xin, how can you be so selfish, You’re really a villain!”

Lu Qi’s words calmed Du Xin down. If he really made a mistake, then what should his father and his family do?

Du Xin suddenly became dumbfounded, without the momentum he quarreled with Lu Qi just now.

Seeing him less agitated, Lu Qi also became softer. He started to persuade him patiently, “Du Xin, you’re not young and you can’t just be idle away in seeking pleasure. Think a little more about the consequence before you do anything. You’re not alone and you have a family. They might lose their lives because of a single word from you. Yes, I have nothing to do with you and I should leave you alone. But if I don’t care about you, then who will?”

The anger in his eyes completely disappeared and there was only tenderness left, but the person with his head down did not see it.

For a long time, Du Xin didn’t say anything, nor did Lu Qi. One of them kept his head down, the other looked at the one who lowered his head, and so a long time passed.

Lu Qi sighed slowly and then said, “Since you don’t want me to meddle in your affairs, you can rest assured that I won’t interfere in your affairs in the future. But you must remember to look before you leap. I’m leaving first and I’ll also leave the Half Moon Town. It’s hot, avoid being bitten by mosquitoes, go home early and take good care of yourself.”

After that, Lu Qi stayed for a moment and left. Du Xin didn’t even look up at him when he left. If someone missed at a time, maybe it would become the regret of his life.

Lu Qi stopped from time to time, until Du Xin was almost out of sight, he looked back at him. Du Xin’s head was still down, so Lu Qi couldn’t see the expression on his face. With a wry smile, Lu Qi clenched his fists and strode away. Maybe they wouldn’t be together at all.

Du Xin stood for a long time, until it was dark and the lights were on. He could not feel his tired legs or lift his head.

Flexing his legs and stiff neck, he realized where he was. It was still the Li family village! It was a long away from the town and was already dark, how could he go back?

Damn Lu Qi, how could he leave him like that!

Reflecing on himself, Du Xin felt that Lu Qi was right. He was impulsive and didn’t think about it carefully, but it wasn’t as serious as he said. King Yan was not a murderer and wouldn’t kill anyone casually.

No! This was not the point. Did Lu Qi say that he would not appear in front of him in the future and won’t care about him anymore?

Lu Qi couldn’t be so petty! Could he really not show up?

Du Xin started to recall what Lu Qi had said before he left. How could things have come to this, it was completely different from what he had expected. He just wanted to go to the Xu Ran family to see the Second Young Master and didn’t want to do anything else!

As for Lu Qi, he didn’t want to quarrel with him, and they had never argued before. Because of Lu Qi’s tolerance, they never quarreled. Damn it, why didn’t he let him go this time? As long as he talked to him patiently, they wouldn’t quarrel!

The more Du Xin thought about it, the more he realized that  it was Lu Qi’s fault.

“Young master, young master, where are you?”

“Young master, where are you?”

When Du Xin was complaining about Lu Qi, he heard a voice from afar and saw some torches approaching. The people who came to find him must be the servants of the Du Residence.

Seeing them, Du Xin jumped out of joy. He could go home now.

Hearing the servants calling for him, he responded and shouted, “Du Bai, I’m here. Here, come over.”

The person leading the servants was Du Bai. Hearing Du Xin’s voice, he immediately lead the way. With a large group of people standing in front of Du Xin, Du Bai said, gasping heavily, ” Young master, we finally found you. Why are you still in Li’s village so late at night?! If Luo Yu hadn’t come to the Du Residence this afternoon and said if you weren’t back late, we’d come here to find you, we wouldn’t know that you were in the Li Residence.

Du Xin was stunned when he heard Du Bai’s words and then asked, “Did Lu Qi tell you that?”

Du Bai nodded and aswered, “Yes, young master, but master Lu seemed to be unhappy at that time. He left without drinking any tea. After hearing master Lu’s words, I have been standing at the door for you to come back. But it’s getting dark, you haven’t come back, so I come here with them to look for you.”

Du Xin didn’t expect it was Lu Qi who helped him. He smiled and thought, he said he would not care about me, then why did he do it?

“Young master, let’s hurry back! It was difficult to walk in the dark. Besides, with so many mosquitoes here, It’s bad to be bitten.”

As soon as he finished, a mosquito flew into Du Xin’s face. Giving himself a hard slap in the face, the servants were startled.

While Du Xin said, “Damn mosquitoes.”

Then everyone understood that the young master was just slapping at the mosquitoes, not hitting himself!

Swatting away the mosquitoes, Du Xin remembered the last word Lu Qi said when he left, it was hot and there would be many mosquitoes at night.

Of couse he still cared about him. But since he knew there were many mosquitoes here, he left him alone. How outrageous he was! Then he would also stop talking to him recently, hmph!

Seeing his young master’s dreamy face, Du Bai knew that his young master was thinking about someting again.

Du Xin came back to his senses when Du Bai reminded him to go back as soon as possible. Then the group of people walked back.

……

On the other side, after Xu Ran left with Zhuo Yun with angry, they went straight back to the inn.Being angry and in such a mess, Xu Ran didn’t explain what had happened to Zhuo Yun.

Zhuo Yun also knew that Xu Ran was angry. He didn’t disturb him and went back to his room to let him calm down.

At dinner time, Zhuo Yun ordered the dishes before asking Xu Ran to go downstairs to eat. Seeing that Xu Ran looked better, Zhuo Yun asked him what had happened.

Xu Ran told him that Du Xin wanted to threaten him with the fruit trees, but didn’t mention why Du Xin came to his house. Instead, he said that he was worried about what Du Xin would do, so he disagreed.

After all, there must be a reason why Du Xin was so stubborn about this matter. Zhuo Yun would understand after thinking about it himself.
