Chapter 3: You're in big trouble!
"Why instant noodles? I'll cook noodles for you." Lu Shu was reluctant. He had to go out to buy instant noodles in such a cold day. If he wanted to buy instant noodles during the Chinese New Year, he had to go to the 24-hour Zhang Donglai convenience store two blocks away.
"The noodles you cooked have no taste at all. I don't want to eat them. Go buy me some instant noodles!" Lu Xiaoyu was unhappy.
"I'm not going." Lu Shu said as he was about to change his shoes.
"Then crack the walnuts off your neck and give them to me to eat." Lu Xiaoyu's eyes sparkled.
"Fuck you, stop thinking about this, okay?" Lu Shu felt uneasy. The thing on his neck was not a walnut, but the pattern on it looked like one, except it was a little black and the roundness was a little abnormal.
This was abandoned along with him in the orphanage, and it looked ordinary. Although Lu Shu often criticized the staff of the orphanage for being irresponsible, he had to admit that they were decent people, otherwise he wouldn't have kept this thing until now.
This thing is of no use to others, but to Lu Shu it is a not-so-small wish.
What if... He meant what if, his parents want to find him again through this, isn't this a proof?
Although he had no concept of the word "parents", he had lived well alone for so many years.
When a parent came to the orphanage wanting to adopt a child and the director took his hand and walked him in front of the strange couple, he still had a glimmer of expectation for the word "parents".
However, when the other party despised his frail health, that bit of expectation disappeared.
It seems that I really don't need my parents anymore. Lu Shu would think this way sometimes.
But when I really have to throw it away... I still feel a little reluctant.
"I'll say it again, this thing is definitely not edible." Lu Shu said unhappily.
"I dare to drink other people's Chinese medicine, so why shouldn't I be afraid to eat this!" Lu Xiaoyu was not convinced.
Lu Shu peed himself at that moment. What you said makes so much sense!
"Lu Shu, you've changed. You weren't like this before!" Lu Xiaoyu said calmly, "Last year you helped me..."
Lu Shu's face turned black at that moment: "Lu Xiaoyu, that's enough... I'm telling you, if you watch romantic soap operas again, I'll smash the TV!"
"Then you have to pay the landlord 800 yuan." Lu Xiaoyu analyzed calmly.
"I'll go, I'll go buy you some instant noodles!" Lu Shu turned around and went out.
Standing at the door, Lu Shu tightened his collar. The winter in Luocheng was indeed a bit cold.
Suddenly he felt a little wet on his eyelids. He looked up and saw that fine snowflakes had begun to float in the sky without him noticing.
The fine snow was like velvet, slowly falling from the sky to the earth, floating on the ground, on the eaves, and on Lu Shu's body.
Why is the relationship between him and Lu Xiaoyu so good? Lu Shu stood at the door and looked at the white snowflakes falling from the sky. In fact, he didn't quite understand.
Maybe it was when he was 14 years old and had a fever in the orphanage during the Chinese New Year, that Lü Xiaoyu poured him a cup of hot water? When he was bullied by others in the orphanage, Lü Xiaoyu always called the director for him?
Maybe everyone is helpless and huddles together for warmth?
Or maybe it was because Lu Xiaoyu trusted him and relied on him without reason, which made him feel an inexplicable sense of responsibility.
"Who cares why?" Lu Shu smiled. Since he had no parents or relatives in this world, what was wrong with having a younger sister? Even if this younger sister was causing trouble for him all day long.
It gets dark earlier in winter. As it was the third day of the New Year, there were no pedestrians on the street. There were only a few trucks passing by occasionally, still delivering goods during the New Year. Everyone's life was not easy.
Somehow, Lu Shu suddenly remembered the acrobat who was taken away today. Could that performer be the supernatural being that everyone on the Internet was speculating about? Do people who practice Taoism really exist?
Why was all this just a fantasy in the past, but this year it suddenly seems to be about to enter people's lives?
There was another person that Lu Shu had a deep impression of today, and that was the young man named Zhiwei whom he met after leaving the backstage.
Lu Shu was a little distracted as he thought about the possible, brighter world.
At this moment, the sound of the wind seemed to break as it swept towards Lu Shu, and the flying snow in the sky looked particularly gorgeous under the two huge lights.
The light came from behind. When Lu Shu looked back, the dazzling lights made him dizzy.
But even so, he could still recognize that it was a huge truck, roaring towards him like a beast.
The sharp sound of brake pads rubbing against tires and the sharp sound of tires gripping the ground sounded together.
But the beast was out of control.
In just a split second, the air was squeezed to the point of being distorted, and in the pitch-black night, Lu Shu was knocked out by the huge beast.
His body crashed through the snow curtain behind him like a kite with a broken string. Lu Shu's world seemed to slow down. For some reason, he suddenly remembered someone saying that people would recall their entire lives in an instant before they died.
Lu Shu closed his eyes and wanted to seize that moment to see what the parents who sent him to the orphanage looked like... However, he saw nothing.
Lu Shu felt that his life was dying, just like all the beautiful things in the world would eventually die.
At this moment, the pendant on his chest suddenly turned into dust. No, only the shell that was so hard that Lu Xiaoyu couldn't break it even with a hammer turned into powder.
Finally, a thing inside was revealed, and it was hard to tell what it was. It looked a bit like an almond, and a bit like a star.
The star flowed into his body, drifted along with the river of blood, and finally stopped in Lu Shu's palm. After it finally spit out a warm current, it completely disappeared from Lu Shu's perception.
That warm current was like an ocean current flowing from south to north in the Pacific Ocean, flowing into Lu Shu's heart.
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
There was a strong heartbeat, and a white flame in the heart began to burn again.
Yes, the blazing flame that had been extinguished in his body but rekindled, the joy of reunion after a long separation made Lu Shu feel more comfortable than ever before.
This blazing flame originally belonged to him, as if this has been the eternal truth since the creation of heaven and earth.
With a bang, Lu Shu fell to the ground without a sound.
The truck driver jumped out of the car and looked at Lu Shu lying on the ground with a hesitant look. He regretted that if he hadn't been driving while fatigued, this would never have happened.
The driver slowly moved towards the boy on the ground. He had bought full insurance for his car, so he could afford millions of dollars in compensation, and he would not stand by and watch the boy die. Suddenly, the boy moved, and the driver walked over in surprise.
Before he even got close, he saw Lu Shu slowly standing up, his face covered in blood: "You're in big trouble!"
