Until, upstairs, Wen Shuxu saw him and shouted, “Sixteen, come up, your uncle wants to see you.”
Lu Guan: “……”
For a second, facing the enemy real swords have never been afraid of him, surprisingly just standing at the bottom of this, tilting his head to look up, a kind of awe was born.
Sigh ……
The first thing you need to do is to go up there honestly.
“Lu exhaust? Come on in when you arrive.”
The man’s familiar voice, with that gut-wrenching majesty, came out of the room as soon as Lu Guan came up.
When Lu Guan heard it, he swallowed again.
For a moment, before pushing the door in.
“Uncle Huo ……”
“Well, sit down.”
Sitting in his wheelchair, Huo Sijiu, wearing a beige jumper, was already looking much better after two days of recuperation at the Observatory, and at this moment, a ray of golden sunlight spilled in from the window and fell on his body.
He still looked uncommonly handsome and elegant.
Lu Guan then cautiously sat down.
He didn’t dare to look at him because, he didn’t know exactly what Uncle Leng had said to him, and if it was about his own negativity, would he scold him severely?
But there was no denying that when he saw him alive in his wheelchair, instead of visiting as he had done before, just lying motionless in bed.
He was still happy.
“All these years when uncle was sick and couldn’t take care of his family, you shared so much for uncle at a young age, it was hard work.”
“…… It’s not hard, it’s all …… as it should be.”
The teenager, who was not good with words, looked up once he heard that this was the first thing this uncle spoke, after a pair of beautiful narrow eyes flashed a bit caught off guard.
His reply also became a little stuttered.
Probably, there was only one person in this world who would make him as nervous as a child.
Huo Sijiu gave a small smile of approval.
He took a file bag over from the side and looked at it quietly for a while after taking some information out of it in front of him.
“Well, the grades are good too, the college entrance exams are coming up soon, right? Where do you want to go to school?”
“Hmm?”
This topic, again, came too suddenly.
Lu Ge was still a bit confused.
“I …… I haven’t thought about it yet.”
“Then how about going to Yatesland University?” Hearing this, Huo Sijiu opened his mouth just to ask carelessly.
Yatesland?
All of a sudden, the teenager once again jerked his head up to look at him, his beautiful pair of black pupils all round!
Was he joking? This school, too, is a world famous school.
Also, that school, too, was in Y, a city just two hours away from the Royal Academy, so what the hell did he mean by that?
The teenager’s chest was all finally heaving slightly.
“Uncle, I don’t want to go abroad to study, I just want to be at home.”
“Why? Isn’t it good to be abroad? Besides, this school is right next to Ruo Ruo, your task now is to protect her, wouldn’t it be more convenient to go there to study?”
Huo Sijiu also said something straight.
He had indeed wanted to make such an arrangement, for his daughter, he had always thought that this teenager in front of him was the most suitable person to protect her, as for quarrelling or whatever.
In his eyes, that was just child’s playfulness.
But when the teenager in front of him listened, he suddenly lowered his head, his long, thick eyelashes dropping, and for a moment, Huo Sijiu actually saw a gloom and despondency in him that was completely at odds with his age.
“Uncle, I was just about to tell you about this, can I …… change my a*signment afterwards?”
“What?”
Huo Sijiu was greatly shocked.
“Why do you want to change the mission? Is this one bad now? Wasn’t the mission you always strongly wanted before, to protect Ruo Ruo? How come after three years? It’s time to change?”
“I ……”
For just a moment, the teenager, who was not even 15 years old, almost poured out his condescension in front of this uncle who treated him like a father.
Because your daughter doesn’t like it.
Because he didn’t want to see that she would be in a bad mood every day after the thought of him being the one to protect her.
The teenager squeezed his hands tightly.
But in the end, being introverted and reticent, he chose only a few words, “I want to read.”
Huo Sijiu: “Study?”
Lu Guan nodded: “I want to go to a technical university in China. Uncle Huo, you once said that in the future, no matter what choice I make, you won’t stop me.”
Huo Sijiu: “……”
This was a very smart person, and actually put him, Huo Sijiu, in a single sentence.
In the end, Huo Siji could only agree reluctantly.
However ……
“Since that’s the case, then let’s wait until you’re done with your college entrance exams, uncle just woke up and his health is not good, he has to go to the Maldives to recuperate for a while, when I’m better, I’ll come back to make arrangements again, how about that?”
“…… good.”
The teenager nodded.
Expected to be very, very happy.
But in actuality, as he stepped out of the room, the stripping sensation felt noticeable at his heart.
It was as if a knife had reached in and scooped up the thing that had never belonged to him in the first place, and he stood there, taking a long time to slow down before he had the strength to go downstairs.
“Lu Guan, did Uncle Huo and Auntie Wen chastise you? Are you alright?”
Ah Lan came over.
After she saw him coming down from upstairs with an extremely pale face, she worried and immediately came over to ask what was going on.
But Lu Guan didn’t say anything, and afterwards, he left the observation deck.
The next day, Huo Siji and Wen Shuxu flew to the Maldives.
And once again, Lu Guan disappeared from the sight of everyone ……
