Chapter 1054: 1039. Locke Side Story (8) Chapter 1054: 1039. Locke Side Story (8) “If I eat too many snacks, I can’t eat my meal, and Grandpa doesn’t let me eat a lot,” Jian Luo explained while unwrapping the chocolate, and then popped the chocolate into his mouth.

“Do you want to try some?”

Black Jack shook his head, “I’m not interested in sweets.”

Those sweet things, he didn’t even know why he liked them so much.

Until a long time later, Black Jack would vividly remember the incident of the bicycle accident. Even though he was bruised all over, he was very thankful for that fall.

Because those bruises brought him closer to Jian Luo, allowing him to truly open his heart and accept this friend.

On the third year of knowing Black Jack, Jian Luo left the Manor for the first time to go to Y Country, and it was his first time staying in Black Jack’s Fortress.

That Fortress was a gift from his grandfather on his tenth birthday, and he only stayed there occasionally for a few days.

Since there were no outsiders around, Jian Luo felt less restrained and was dragged out to play by Bai Jue as soon as he arrived at the Fortress.

It wasn’t until the evening that the trio returned from the soccer field.

During dinner, Black Jack had the kitchen prepare some of Jian Luo’s favorite dishes, causing Bai Jue to openly accuse him of being jealous.

“Here, Jian Luo, try this, this is the chef’s specialty here,” Bai Jue said, pushing the plate of lamb chops in front of Jian Luo.

Jian Luo shook his head, “No need.”

Bai Jue was puzzled, “Aren’t you the one who loves lamb chops the most?”

“It has carrots in it, I’m allergic to them,” Jian Luo explained. “I accidentally ate some when I was little and nearly went into shock.”

Upon hearing this, Bai Jue was startled and quickly took the plate of lamb chops away.

“Why didn’t you mention it earlier.”

No wonder he had never seen him eat carrots, and he just thought he and Jian Qing simply didn’t like them, not that it was an allergy.

Black Jack asked, “Is there anything else you can’t eat?”

“Just carrots, that’s all,” Jian Luo said.

Upon hearing this, Black Jack made a mental note of it.

After dinner, the trio gathered in Black Jack’s room to play video games, and the always punctual Jian Luo couldn’t help but yawn by ten o’clock.

Black Jack put down the game controller, “Jian Luo, you should go to your room and sleep.”

Jian Luo nodded sloppily, half-closing his eyes, and staggered back to his own room.

He had not been asleep for long when a downpour suddenly started outside.

Suddenly, like a silver dragon, lightning streaked across the pitch-black night sky, and the thunderous roars were deafening, causing hearts to tremble with fear.

Bai Jue and Black Jack continued to play their game unaffected.

“Man, the rain is really heavy tonight,” Bai Jue said, frowning as he listened to the continuous thunder outside the window.

Before he finished speaking, the sound of something being smashed in the next room could be heard.

“Damn it, Jian Luo!”

Black Jack threw down the controller and ran out in a flurry.

“Wait for me, Black Jack,” Bai Jue followed, chasing after him.

Jian Luo’s room was right next to Black Jack’s bedroom, and Black Jack didn’t even bother to knock, bursting right in.

“Jian Luo!”

In the bedroom, only a small wall lamp was on.

He reached out and immediately pressed the wall switch, instantly brightening the dim room.

“Where’s Jian Luo?”

Bai Jue caught up and saw the shattered vase by the side of the bed. He looked around the room but didn’t see Jian Luo anywhere.

Black Jack’s expression darkened, “Let’s look for him quickly.”

Bai Jue walked briskly towards the bathroom, while Black Jack searched every corner by the bedside, not even sparing the space beneath the bed.

“Black Jack, there’s no one in the bathroom,” Bai Jue came over and said.

Black Jack, “I’ve got nobody on my end either.”

Bai Jue scrutinized the room carefully, his gaze suddenly resting on the large wardrobe opposite, a flash of inspiration struck, “Have you checked the wardrobe?”

Upon hearing this, Black Jack felt a jolt in his heart, and he hurried to the wardrobe.

He reached out to open the wardrobe door, and in the neatly arranged clothes, a slender little figure was hiding inside, shivering intensely.

Black Jack’s heart seized for a moment, and Bai Jue was also startled.

Indeed, he was inside.

Black Jack squatted down, speaking softly, “Jian Luo, what are you doing in there?”

He reached out to coax him out, but he dodged away.

“Sister.”

A faint voice, carrying a slight tremble.

Black Jack and Bai Jue exchanged a glance, both somewhat at a loss in face of this situation for the first time.

Jian Luo was huddled in the wardrobe, knees drawn up to his chest, as the deafening sound of thunder echoed again, his small body shaking severely while he kept calling for Jian Qing.

Now, Black Jack and Bai Jue could see that Jian Luo was frightened by the sound of thunder.

“Bai Jue, call Jian Qing, quick.”

Jian Luo’s condition wasn’t right, if this continued and something happened, it wouldn’t be good.

Bai Jue responded with a hum, quickly taking out her phone to call Jian Qing, unconcerned that it was already deep into the night in M Country.

Receiving Bai Jue’s call in the middle of the night, Jian Qing’s first reaction was that something had happened to Jian Luo.

And surely enough, Bai Jue’s next words confirmed her guess.

“Jian Qing, Jian Luo is hiding in the wardrobe and won’t come out. Is he afraid of the sound of thunder?”

On hearing this, Jian Qing’s gaze darkened, “Put the phone on speaker mode.”

Bai Jue hurriedly did as she was told, Jian Qing’s gentle tone coming through the phone.

“Luoluo, don’t be afraid, your sister is here.”

Upon hearing Jian Qing’s voice, Jian Luo’s trembling body stiffened, then slowly lifted his head, his eyes, shiny in the light, were brimming with tears.

He reached out towards Bai Jue’s direction, Black Jack saw his gaze fixated on Bai Jue’s phone and quickly handed it to him.

Grasping the phone, the tear-filled eyes of Jian Luo released pearls of tears uncontrollably falling, “Sister, there’s so much blood, Mummy, so much blood…”

The choking voice was distinctly tremulous.

Black Jack and Bai Jue exchanged a glance, then looked at Jian Luo with eyes full of complexity.

As Jian Qing heard Jian Luo’s heavy nasal voice, she clenched her fist, soothingly comforting, “Luoluo, don’t be afraid, there’s no blood. Mummy has become a star in the sky watching over Luoluo, there’s no blood. Be good and sleep, sister will come to see you tomorrow.”

Even through the phone, Jian Qing could hear the sound of thunder.

Sharp fingernails pierced into her tender palm, crimson beads of blood slipping from between her fingers, “Luoluo, Black Jack and Bai Jue are by your side, they will protect you, don’t be afraid.”

“Jian Luo!”

Black Jack crouched in front of him, his slender hand like jade gently reaching towards him, eventually resting on his head.

“Luo Xiaobai, Bai Jue and I are both here.”

Jian Luo’s body shook, his young face streaked with tears.

After a while of comforting by Jian Qing and others, Jian Luo gradually became more stable. Black Jack carefully took the phone and handed it to Bai Jue.

Then, he reached out to lift Jian Luo from the wardrobe, his feather-like weight effortless to lift. Black Jack placed him on the bed; Jian Luo clutched his hand without letting go, his pale face alarming.
