Yu Daochen was somewhat taken aback by the news.
He hadn't expected the fight last night to have brought down the entire building.
Master Hao was likely in grave danger.
Seeing Yu Daochen's slightly troubled expression, Feng Ru asked, "By the way, why did you suddenly sneak out of school?"
"I..."
Yu Daochen was about to speak directly, but swallowed his words and smiled, "Sister, I'm hungry."
Sensing something was amiss from Yu Daochen's hesitant demeanor, Feng Ru didn't say much but smiled, "Okay, we have some noodles at home, let's just eat here."
Yu Daochen nodded with a smile, "Okay."
The two entered the villa. Yu Daochen went to the dining table without a word, while Feng Ru went into the kitchen to cook.
Looking at Yu Daochen's back at the table, Feng Ru understood.
Her brother, Feng Yu, was likely no longer alive.
Yu Daochen sat motionless at the table, not looking at Feng Ru, contemplating how to speak.
If he could, he would gladly continue living like this.
But... someone was waiting for him.
At this moment, a tacit silence fell between them.
The only sound in the villa was the boiling water.
But some things had to be faced.
Soon, Feng Ru came over with a steaming bowl of clear soup noodles, with two eggs added.
Looking at the noodles on the table, Yu Daochen asked curiously, "Sister, aren't you eating?"
Feng Ru shook her head, a smile on her face, "Sister isn't hungry, you eat."
Yu Daochen nodded, picked up his chopsticks, and despite not having a sense of smell, he sniffed and smiled, "It smells so good."
Seeing that Yu Daochen didn't say anything else, Feng Ru smiled, "Alright, stop praising your sister."
Yu Daochen stopped talking and began to eat the noodles.
Feng Ru sat opposite him, watching him eat, her smile appearing somewhat forced.
Perhaps... she should tell him the truth, then maybe he would stay.
No...
Judging by his expression, she knew he would leave.
Feng Ru, who could become the CEO of a major company without any backing, was exceptionally skilled at reading people.
A slight movement was enough for her to understand what was on his mind.
Yu Daochen didn't know how to start, so he just lowered his head and ate.
Sister must have noticed something.
He finished the noodles and drank the soup.
Yu Daochen looked at Feng Ru, remained silent for a moment, and then said, "Sister, I..."
Before he could finish, Feng Ru interrupted, "Are you really leaving?"
At this moment, Feng Ru wished with all her might that Yu Daochen would say no.
But she knew in her heart that it was impossible.
"Yes."
Yu Daochen nodded slowly.
"Are you really not reconsidering?"
Feng Ru's tone became pleading.
Yu Daochen knew that he shouldn't make promises he couldn't keep.
Also, indecisiveness often leads to greater trouble.
"Perhaps, I'm not sure yet," Yu Daochen replied.
"I see..."
Feng Ru gave a wry smile. She had already understood everything, and her eyes began to water.
Seeing this, Yu Daochen smiled and comforted her, "You will always be my sister, and I will come back when I have time."
Hearing this, Feng Ru smiled, "Really?"
Yu Daochen smiled and nodded affirmatively, "Really."
"Since I can't keep you, I should return those things to you."
Saying that, Feng Ru got up and walked towards her room.
Watching Feng Ru's retreating back, Yu Daochen wore a wry smile.
Would he ever be able to live a normal life after leaving?
Entering the room, Feng Ru looked at the drawer where the Kanglong Jian was placed and fell into thought.
Could she really hold on until the day he returned?
If only things could continue like this forever!
But everyone had their own path, and so did he, and so did she. No one was an exception.
Opening the drawer, Feng Ru took out the Kanglong Jian, the fish scales, and a mobile phone, then turned and walked out of the room.
She came to the table, placed the items down, and said, "These are all the things you had on you when I met you."
He glanced at the fish scales and the phone, then looked at the Kanglong Jian again, and reached out to pick it up.
This familiarity...
It felt as if the Kanglong Jian had become one with him.
He had heard from Zhou Fu that his previous weapon was the Kanglong Jian.
If the space hadn't been so confined, Yu Daochen would have loved to swing it a couple of times right then and there.
"I'll tell you the whole story of how I met you."
Feng Ru began to narrate, "It all started when..."
After about half an hour, Feng Ru recounted the entire story in detail.
Hearing this, Yu Daochen's brow furrowed.
This aligned with what Zhou Fu had told him.
He must have fought with a Flood Dragon, sustained severe injuries leading to amnesia, and was then rescued by Feng Ru.
Feng Ru looked at Yu Daochen and asked, "When are you leaving?"
Yu Daochen thought for a moment and replied, "Now."
"Aren't you going to eat a meal before leaving?" Feng Ru inquired.
Yu Daochen shook his head and smiled, "We'll eat this meal next time."
Hearing this, Feng Ru understood.
He would definitely come back.
She just didn't know if she could hold on until then.
Feng Ru cautioned, "Yes, be careful on your way."
"I will."
Yu Daochen said, then picked up the Kanglong Jian, the fish scales, and the phone, and got up to leave.
"I..."
Feng Ru swallowed the words that were about to escape her lips.
Yu Daochen turned his head, looking a little confused, "Sister, what is it?"
Hearing the word "sister," Feng Ru wore a faint smile and said gently, "I still think you look better with your hair tied up."
Hearing Feng Ru say this, Yu Daochen nodded and smiled, "I'll listen to you, Sister. I'll tie my hair up from now on."
Feng Ru nodded and joked, "Alright, hurry up and go, or I'll be reluctant to let you leave again."
Yu Daochen nodded and cautioned, "Sister, you must take care of yourself and stay healthy."
Feng Ru nodded, and only then did Yu Daochen leave with peace of mind.
Watching Yu Daochen's retreating figure, Feng Ru's face was filled with loneliness.
In the end, she still hadn't said it.
Yu Daochen walked out of the villa area and stopped, a smile of relief on his face.
His ordinary life was now over.
Next, he had to recover his memories and figure out who was waiting for him to rescue.
He took a taxi to the hotel where he had arranged to meet Zhou Fu.
Zhou Fu had been waiting at the entrance for a long time.
Seeing Yu Daochen get out of the car, Zhou Fu walked up to him, a smile on his face, and obediently called out, "Master."
Seeing that Zhou Fu showed no signs of dejection, Yu Daochen nodded happily, "Yes, let's get on our way."
Zhou Fu nodded and took out his phone, "I'll call to ask where Master Su is."
