Chapter 392: Chapter 393: The Girl in the Wheelchair
Hearing the sobs of Bao’er from the other end of the phone overwhelmed Chu You’s heart with a wrenching pain. He had not anticipated that the other half of his life from his past existence had suffered such distress during her childhood. Perhaps his own reincarnation was affecting this, but the impact should be insignificant. After all, he hadn’t been at the orphanage for long, and Bao’er had been in this suppressed state for quite a while. Regardless, what’s done is done, and Bao’er has now spoken to him about it.
Very well then, in light of this, he’d have to change the trajectory of his previous life. He would bring her back home!
These thought processes took less than two seconds before he spoke, "Bao’er, sweetie, stop crying. Your brother is coming to get you. I promise you," his voice was inexplicably gentle.
At the other end of the phone, Bao’er’s crying quieted down considerably, but she didn’t speak.
"When your brother makes a promise, he sticks to it. But Bao’er, are you really sure you’re ready?!" Are you truly prepared for a new world?!
Bao’er has already thrown off her blanket. She was holding the phone with one hand and drying her tears with the other. She hurriedly nodded as if she was worried that Chu You wouldn’t see her.
"Bao’er has decided. Brother... (sobs), you... you can rest assured. Bao’er is understanding. She...she won’t trouble you (sobs)."
A faint bitter smile appeared on his face as Chu You shook his head. Oh Baoer, just how much suffering have you endured in your heart?
"Okay then, your brother understands. Now... go to sleep, dear. Your brother gave you his word." Halfway through speaking, Chu You suddenly realized he didn’t know how to comfort little girls. Did he care too much about their feelings, causing him to proceed cautiously?
The image of the adult Bao’er from his previous life and the image of the underage Bao’er now were constantly alternating in his mind, making it hard for him to adjust at once.
"Mmm..."
"Alright then, there’s nothing to worry about. It’s nearly one o’clock in the morning. Go to sleep and have sweet dreams."
"Mmm... Then brother, I’ll hang up."
"Alright."
"..." The sound of their breathing came again over the phone. Bao’er recoiled back into her blanket and timidly said, "Brother, you hang up first."
"Okay." A smile tugged at the corner of his lips as he moved the phone away and pressed the end call button, officially concluding his conversation with Bao’er.
Chu You did not immediately lay back down, his body remained motionless. He then rested his head on the pillow, his face expressionless, void of any smiles.
It seems he had to get more information from the director of the community. Moreover, was every orphan in the same situation as Bao’er? After all, this was his own enterprise!
After contemplating some things, Chu You cast a glance at the game pod not far away. He then turned his gaze to a section of the wall, wondering if he could manifest his special ability without closing his eyes.
He immersed himself in searching for the special sensation he had previously felt. As he searched, he felt a sudden surge inside himself.
Here it was, here it was. Chu You’s spirit revived. He could perceive something vague surging inside him, though he was unsure about what this thing was. But now wasn’t the time to figure that out.
When he felt its presence, it had already reached his mind. His face felt a sudden numbness, as if his soul was about to leap out. This experiment yielded more delicate experiences.
’Crack!’ The part of the wall previously ’locked’ in his mind showed a crack, and some rubble fell, making a crisp sound.
Chu You slightly turned his head to look at the still-sleeping Lin Luor. Reaching for his chest, he could feel his heart pounding as if he had just run a sprint. He took a deep breath, climbed down from the bed, and then stood in front of the cracked wall to examine it closely.
After scrutinizing the crack for a while, Chu You extended his hand, or more precisely, a finger, towards the center of the crack.
He noticed that his index finger was more than halfway inside the crack.
He hooked the finger that was inside the crack to extract some powder. After examining the powder under his eyelids keenly, he flicked the powder away from his hand.
The astonishment inside him was great, for he clearly understood that the result he wanted at the moment of ’locking in’ was exactly what had manifested. His inner expectations had come true and that was terrifying!
Had he intended to perforate the wall, would he indeed have done so?!
What kind of power was this? Thought power? The elusive Thought-Focus Technique? Shaking his head, he realized the only way to understand this was to dive into the systematic content of the Special Ability Studies, else he’d just be guessing. Even if he obtained a so-called answer, it wouldn’t be accurate.
Was he a natural born possessor of this... or was he an ’awakened one’ yet to be discovered by relevant authorities?!
Were there organizations in this world that dealt with this? Or was he truly the first person in history capable of this?!
All of these were unknown!
The grudge from his former life, the birth of his special ability, the Celestial World game, the young Bao’er, the already wilted yet trajectory-altered Lin Luor... it’s all too chaotic.
Chu You held his forehead with his hands, lost in thought. Each of these factors could influence his actions and the journey down his ’invisible pilgrimage path’.
What the hell was he thinking?!
’Poof!’ A burst of laughter came from his mouth. His sudden outburst of swearing had made him laugh at himself.
Yeah, why think so much? He just needed to follow his heart!
At that moment, he looked at the coat rack next to him and casually placed it in front of the small crack on the wall concealing it. He squatted down and blew away some of the fallen powder.
After doing everything, Chu You suddenly widened his eyes, his gaze filled with astonishment. He abruptly turned and fixed his eyes on Lin Luor lying on the bed. However, Lin Luor was still fast asleep, so doubt filled his eyes. What was that sensation he just had? Why did he feel a problem with the Lin Luor behind him?!
As he was trying to figure it out, Lin Luor on the bed stirred. It seemed as if... she was about to wake up?
So that’s what it was!!
Without making a sound, Chu You quickly went over to the bed and laid down.
After a short while, he sensed movement beside him as Luor got up from the bed. Then, he heard her footfalls.
Chu You opened one eye, his gaze inexplicably fixed on a scantily clad Lin Luor going into the bathroom wearing her slippers...
...
Early in the morning at seven o’clock or so, I opened my eyes. The brilliant sunshine streamed in through the curtains onto my face, making my eyes squint immediately.
Awakening and thinking about the inevitable passing of time, it’s time for some changes...
But this weather is indeed strange! The sunshine comes out at a time almost equivalent to summer! Then, feeling something, Chu You quickly turned his head and stared at the person sleeping beside him.
Lin Luor had awoken at some unknown time, and was now staring at him with wide-open eyes.
She seemed to be lost in her gaze. When she noticed his movement, there was a focus in her eyes.
Without saying anything, he leaned over and kissed her on the forehead, "Baby, why are you staring at me like that?"
No sooner had he spoken than Lin Luor’s eyes reddened. Her voice trembled as she spoke, "Chu You, will we be separated for a long time?"
He was slightly surprised. So, this was what Lin Luor was worried about. She was a good girl who had truly fallen in love with him.
It’s often said that it’s better to grow old with someone who loves you than with someone you love; this saying is filled with life’s wisdom.
Having met such a girl, he should marry her! (The term ’marriage’ is used here instead of ’take her as his wife’, to mock conventional expectations.)
"We’re not the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl, Luor. I’ll come to see you often." He held her delicate body tightly and spoke softly.
Lin Luor buried her head in his chest, nodding when she heard his words, but gripping him even tighter.
At this moment, Chu You felt a hand rapidly approaching his, what you could say, vulnerable spot. In an instant, the ’spot’ had been accurately grasped by this hand.
His breathing quickened, "Luor, let’s try...from behind this time!"
...
By a little after eight o’clock, the two emerged from their bedroom. Zhou Zhijun, who was downstairs, had already prepared breakfast. Seeing the two come out, she immediately went into the kitchen to fetch the steamed breakfast from the appliance.
"Young Master Chu, there’s a really cool-looking SUV parked outside. Is that the Lamborghini Wild Bulls?" Zhou Zhijun was aware of Chu You and Lin Luor’s travel plans.
"Oh, the car is here?" Chu You placed a suitcase at the corner of the coffee table.
"Yeah, when I woke up, the car was already here, I even opened the main gate for them." As she said this, she took a sleek key out of her pocket and handed it to Chu You, "This is the car key."
"Thank you." Having said that, he took the car key and then sat down to eat breakfast.
Zhou Zhijun noticed that Lin Luor’s expression was a bit off, and there was a faint sadness on her face.
Soon, everyone had eaten their fill. At this time, Chu You’s cell phone rang.
"Brother, we’re on Dongsheng Road now."
"Mm, have you eaten breakfast yet?"
"Uh... not yet." The caller seemed somewhat embarrassed.
"Alright, we’re about to head out, you guys have breakfast. By the time we get there, you should be done eating."
"Okay..."
After some time, Chu You and Lin Luor, dressed in warmer clothing, finally left the house. Chu You, carrying a suitcase, opened the trunk of the car. When he was about to put the suitcase inside, he saw several supermarket bags filled with various goods and food.
He smiled slightly and put the suitcase in, and then the two of them got into the car. With Zhou Zhijun waving them off, the brand-new Lamborghini Wild Bulls SUV drove out of the villa.
On the road, no one could resist giving the car a second glance. Its exterior was just too cool, giving off a sense of wildness coupled with a hint of tempting charm!
Dongsheng Road wasn’t near the Royal University. The reason the junior girl wanted to meet on Dongsheng Road was obviously influenced by her friends. Presumably, one of her friends must be a student from a university near Dongsheng Road.
The stylish Wild Bulls SUV gradually left the downtown area and entered the suburban outskirts.
In no time at all, they arrived on Dongsheng Road, where the crowd was relatively dense. Most of the people here were university students, surrounded by several newly built campuses.
When their vehicle entered the street, many students turned their heads their way. Their eyes widened in surprise, as most of them had never seen this car before.
Some girls were staring at the car like fanatics, watching it as it passed by them.
Their speed had to slow because of the crowd. After a moment, Chu You said plainly, "Call Fang Yuanyuan." The phone, which was connected to the car’s system, automatically dialed Fang Yuanyuan’s number.
It wasn’t long before she answered the call.
"Can you see me? A red SUV!" Keeping an eye on the road while speaking.
"Ah? Sss.. I see you, I see you." The caller, obviously shocked, repeated herself, her voice trembling with astonishment. Fang Yuanyuan was truly stunned.
Looking at the magnificent supercar SUV approaching, she could hardly believe that this car had come to pick her up, "I’m here!" Having said that, she immediately waved her hand so her senior could see where she was.
At the same time, Fang Yuanyuan suddenly turned to look behind her, at her childhood playmate.
That was...a girl in a wheelchair!
