Chapter 1030 Empty
beep - beep -
In the early morning of November 21st, a buzzing sound from the walkie-talkie woke Brother Jue from his sleep.
Anyway, he is sleeping in the living room now, so it would be convenient to open the door in the past.
About fifteen seconds later, Brother Jue, who was wearing pajamas and yawning, walked to the door, pressed the call button on the device on the wall, and asked, "Who is it?"
"Hey hey hey... I have your express delivery." came the answer from the intercom.
And these words made Feng Bujue wake up all of a sudden.
"Are you..." Although it came through a walkie-talkie, Brother Jue quickly identified the owner of the voice, "Woody?"
Click - beep - beep - beep -
Before Feng Bujue finished speaking, the sound of hanging up and bursts of busy signals came from the other end of the intercom.
"What... is this guy doing?" Brother Jue doesn't understand... why a guy like Woody, who can teleport and has little courtesy, still uses a walkie-talkie.
Bang bang——
The next second, there were two knocks on the door next to him.
This time, before Brother Jue had time to speak, the person outside the door laughed loudly through the door: "Hey hey hey... I have your express delivery..."
"What are you doing?" Feng Bujue opened the door with a curse and opened his mouth.
Standing outside the door was Woody, wearing a courier's uniform and holding a large package.
"Hehehehe...I'll deliver the express to you." Woody replied with a smile.
"So... why don't you teleport in?" Feng Bujue asked.
"Hehe... How can this be done?" Woody said with a smile, "You are alone in this room, what if I ruin your good deeds..."
"Ha!" Feng Bujue laughed dryly and continued, "Since you mentioned that so-called 'good thing'... I have to remind you, I won the bet, right? When are you going to pay off your gambling debt?"
"Hey hey hey... don't worry, why don't you invite me in before we talk?" Woody replied.
"Come in, come in." Feng Bujue said, turning around and walking towards the living room while stretching.
When he returned to the living room, the door to Ruoyu's room happened to be opened. Ruoyu walked out of the room wearing the same pajamas as Brother Jue (both long-sleeved, long-trousers and velvet pajamas with buttons, but Feng Bujue's was blue and Ruoyu's was pink) He came out and asked sleepily: "Who is it? Knocked on the door early in the morning."
"See for yourself..." Feng Bujue tilted his head. He responded casually.
Then, Ruoyu looked over Brother Jue's shoulder and saw the person coming...
At that moment, her expression changed suddenly, and the spiritual power in her body burst out almost instinctively. Entered a state ready to fight at any time.
"Hehehe... As expected of a descendant of the Shui family..." Woody pushed up his glasses on the bridge of his nose, "Although he has not received very systematic training, his fighting instincts when encountering danger are still extremely good..."
Ruoyu ignored him, but looked at Feng Bujue and asked two words concisely: "Woody?"
"Yes." Brother Jue seemed very calm and gave a definite answer.
Hearing this, Ruoyu took two steps, looked Woody up and down, and said, "The last time we saw you...you didn't look like this, right?"
Indeed, compared with the last time we met at the carnival (for details, see the extra chapter - Halloween Adventure). The Woody in front of me looked slightly different. Of course, this "difference" does not refer to the difference in appearance... The "appearance" in Ruoyu's mouth refers to "the appearance seen when observing with spiritual vision"; that is to say, in the "spiritual appearance" On a level, Woody now is very different from then.
"Hehehe... Of course there is a reason." Woody replied with a smile, "That day was Halloween after all, and it was an outdoor activity. If I show my sharpness too much... it might lead to some not-so-good catastrophic phenomena. . Therefore, I suppressed my aura throughout that day, and the spiritual appearance you saw was weak."
"Oh..." Ruoyu nodded. He replied expressionlessly, "Then why are you here today?"
"Huh?" Suddenly, the white light on Woody's glasses flashed. "I said...why do you want to imitate Feng Bujue's way of speaking and ask me questions?"
"I didn't..." Ruoyu replied.
After saying this, her expression changed slightly. After two seconds, she whispered again in an uncertain tone: "Uh... no?"
"Hehe..." Seeing this, Woody smiled evilly and walked towards the sofa. "It seems that you two get along very well." After saying that, he sat down and put the mail package in his hand on the coffee table.
"Don't think that you can forcefully change the subject by rambling on." Feng Bujue took two steps and sat opposite Woody. "This kind of thing is my strong point. Don't try to do anything for me."
"That's right." Ruoyu came to Bujue's side in a few steps and sat side by side with him. The two looked at Woody across the coffee table like interrogators, "Answer my question first."
"Hehehehe...Okay~" Woody spread his hands and shook his head, "There's really nothing we can do about you." He paused for a second and then continued, "We're here today. There are a lot of things. Let's talk about them one by one... ..." As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and patted the mail bag on the table, "First of all, as the boss of Dream Company, I am here to deliver the competition prizes to you personally. "
"What's the prize?" Feng Bujue asked immediately.
"In addition to the preliminaries prize that has not been shipped yet - the limited edition T-shirt, the other prize is the championship prize." Woody replied, "Hehehe... Considering that the five members of your team often see each other, I sent all the prizes of the team to you."
"So..." Ruoyu continued in her usual cold tone, "What is it?"
"Hehe... The prizes for the five people are different, you should open them yourself." Woody replied.
"It's quite mysterious~" Feng Bujue added.
"Hehehe..." Woody laughed, "The prizes I give are all selected according to your respective tastes... I will definitely not let you down."
"Hehe..." Feng Bujue also laughed dryly, "Just like you gave the Pegasus Cloth to a middle school boy?"
"It's just a bronze Cloth, nothing rare." Woody laughed, "Hehe... After all, a truly strong person is also strong without a Cloth."
"I'm not discussing with you whether he is strong or not..." Feng Bujue said, "I mean... Is it really okay to give this thing as a prize?"
"I said that thing is not rare." Woody replied, "The appearance of a truly rare divine weapon will trigger many forces in all realms to fight for it together... And things at the level of a Cloth. Even slightly powerful characters will not be interested in getting involved..." He counted on his fingers, one by one He counted them, "First, there are too many limitations... It needs to be recognized by the will of the holy clothes itself, and it needs to resonate with the microcosm, and only humanoid creatures can wear it; second, the defense is too weak... Not only will it be frozen by low temperatures, but it will also be broken by various physical attacks. Although it has the ability to self-repair and grow. But both are too slow; third, and the most speechless point... In many cases, this thing is used to brush up the fashion value, and it does not improve the combat power very much. After all the trouble, it still depends on whose microcosm realm is higher."
"Understood." Feng Bujue snapped his fingers at this time, and then said, "Even if the thing is given to Xiao Ma Ge, he can't do anything with it, and he won't be targeted by any supernatural power because of it. So... I'll give it to him."
"Hehehe... That's right..." Woody replied.
"Okay, this is the first thing." Ruoyu said at this time. "Please tell me the next thing."
"The second thing... hehehe..." Woody's glasses flashed white again. He turned his head and deliberately lowered his voice, saying to Feng Bujue, "This matter... is it appropriate for us to tell her?"
"Hmm..." Feng Bujue frowned and pondered, as if thinking.
"Hey." Ruoyu immediately nudged Jue's arm with her elbow and looked at the latter and said, "He hasn't said anything yet, and you know it?"
"I..." Feng Bujue also knew that he couldn't hide it here. "I know something."
"Oh." Ruoyu glared at him, "Then what makes you decide whether it is appropriate or not to tell me about this matter?"
"Okay~" Feng Bujue avoided the other's sight, "Just tell you..."
"Hehehe..." Woody continued. "Then I'll tell you."
"Hurry up if you want to tell it." Jue urged in a rough tone.
Woody laughed a few more times, then looked at Ruoyu and said, "Do you know that Feng Bujue's 'fear' is sealed?"
"Yes." Ruoyu replied immediately.
"Your 'love' is also sealed, do you know?" Woody said again.
After hearing this, Ruoyu's expression changed. After five or six seconds, she replied, "I don't know..."
"Hehe... It's normal not to know, because your situation is different from Feng Bujue." Woody continued, "Feng Bujue's 'fear' was sealed by me more than nine months ago; and your 'love' was sealed when you were still a baby..."
Woody paused for two seconds, observed the changes in Ruoyu's eyes, and then said, "Hehehe... Don't look at me like that, your seal was not imposed by me, but by one of my colleagues. As for the reason... At this stage, I'm sorry I can't tell you."
After hearing this, Ruoyu thought for a moment, and then looked at Feng Bujue again: "These... Do you already know?"
"Ah, it's been a while." Feng Bujue replied.
"You know I'm not in love with you and won't be in love with you, so why are you still dating me?" Ruoyu asked without caring about the devil sitting next to her.
"When I fell in love with you..." Feng Bujue replied calmly, "I didn't know your 'love' was sealed." He didn't care about the devil sitting next to him, and said without changing his face or heartbeat, "When I knew it, it was too late." He looked directly into Ruoyu's eyes and said with a quarrel-like momentum, "I am a person... I am stubborn, I won't give up halfway because of a little difficulty."
"Is falling in love with someone who can't fall in love with you just 'a little difficulty' for you?" Ruoyu asked again.
"That's right." Feng Bujue said, glancing at Woody, "And I have solved this difficulty."
Woody took over the conversation and said to Ruoyu: "Hehehe... Yes, he is really hardworking..."
In the next two minutes, Woody described the bet between him and Feng Bujue to Ruoyu and added some details about the seal. After that, he was silent for a moment, waiting for the other party to digest the information.
After listening to it, Ruoyu pondered for a long time, and then said to Woody in a lukewarm attitude: "So, the second thing you came to do today is to remove the seal in my brain?"
"Yes." Woody replied.
"Well..." Ruoyu nodded slightly, "I understand..." Then, she stood up, "I refuse."
After saying these three words, she turned around and left.
"What are you doing..." Feng Bujue also stood up quickly and grabbed Ruoyu's arm.
But Ruoyu shook his hand off very simply, and ignored Brother Jue's words, and replied in a cold tone: "I have also disturbed you for quite a long time. It's time to go back."
This sentence made Feng Bujue look several times, and many complex and unspeakable emotions flashed in his eyes.
He seemed to want to say something... but in the end, he didn't say it.
"You guys chat slowly, I have to pack my luggage, so I won't accompany you anymore." And Ruoyu... said as she walked back to the room and closed the door.
…………
That day, dusk.
Woody had left.
Ruoyu, also left.
Feng Bujue moved a reclining chair, sat in front of the window, and bathed in the sunset.
On the slightly uneven wall in front of him, the traces of Arthas's "big paw print" were still vaguely visible.
In the living room behind him, the beautiful figure seemed to be still in front of him.
However, at this moment, they have all left.
Although this is not a very large room, it feels empty without two people.
For the first time in so many years, Feng Bujue felt that his heart seemed to be empty.
Looking back at the huge room, the days spent together by the two people and the cat were vivid. Although this period of time was not long, now thinking about it... every day is worth cherishing.
The reason why people feel that their hearts are hollowed out is precisely because... their hearts have been filled with some beautiful things.
However, we often ignore the little bits of happiness until... the moment we lose it.
"Did I do something wrong?" Feng Bujue sat slumped in a chair, looking at the sunset, and asked himself a question.
"Maybe..." Two seconds later, he answered himself.
"Isn't it enough to just lie and conceal? Isn't that what I am best at?" Then, he asked himself another question.
This time, he was silent for a full minute before he spoke again; "Compared to lying to her...it turns out...I prefer to lie to myself..." (To be continued.)
