Chapter Fourteen The Reunion
Just as Zhou Yukun went downstairs, Ma Chuling, who was crying with his head down, just raised his head and faced his eyes.
"Zhou...Yukun?" Ma Chuling spoke in disbelief. She had already heard of Zhou Yukun's sleepiness, but she didn't expect that three years later, he was awake. In a trance, she seemed to be able to remember the boy who was often bullied by herself.
Seeing her looking like she saw a ghost, Zhou Yukun smiled softly: "Why, I haven't seen her for three years, can't even recognize me?"
"No, no, just... I'm just a little surprised." Ma Chuling stood up crampedly, wiped his face with his hands in panic, as if he wanted to hide his pear blossoms and rainy appearance. Even she herself didn't understand why she was so nervous in front of him.
Zhou Yukun didn't say much, but looked to one side: "Xiaohu, what happened?" He could understand Ma Chuling's mood at the moment, so he didn't ask her, which could also avoid a lot of embarrassment.
"This..." Li Xiaohu hesitated a little, glanced at Ma Chuling, and then said, "Oh, Brother Zhou, I don't hide it from you. Miss Ma Yunlu has some problems, you should also know that the Ma family is the one who controls Jumen. Not long ago, the Wei forces in the Tanlang City launched an attack on them. It is expected that within five days, they will..."
Zhou Yukun frowned. Although Li Xiaohu didn't finish it, he understood the ending in five days. If there were no reinforcements to help, it would be difficult for even five days. He also understood why Ma Chuling, a strong and stubborn girl, would come to ask for help in a low voice.
"Xiaohu, will you send someone to help?"
"I..." Li Xiaohu opened his mouth and finally sighed softly: "Brother Zhou, I'm sorry. I can't let my people die. Although the Wei State is not stable now, it's not something we can challenge. What's more, we still have Wenqu City in the south to resist, so... I'm sorry!"
When Zhou Yukun heard this, he fell silent. Seeing Li Xiaohu's guilty expression, he smiled and patted the other party's shoulder: "Okay, no need to apologize, I didn't blame you. I'm too happy to think about your subordinates like this. In this way, you can leave first and let me talk to my old friend."
Li Xiaohu nodded apologetically and walked out of the living room of the villa.
At this time, only Zhou Yukun and Ma Chuling were left in the huge living room. But before he could speak, Ma Chuling suddenly said first: "Am I very embarrassed? The reunion three years later makes you look so stinky."
"Why is it embarrassing?" Zhou Yukun stared at her seriously: "You can give up your dignity and ask for help for your family. Not only is it not embarrassing, but I admire you very much. Because, if it were me, I might not be able to do it!"
Looking at his sincere gaze, Ma Chuling knew that he was not comforting himself. She wiped her tears and burst into tears and said with a smile: "I didn't realize that you are quite good at persuading people. However, I always feel that you have been sleeping for three years, why are you much more mature than before? It's a bit... not very much like you."
"Uh, is there any? I don't feel like I have changed much. Am I immature before?" Zhou Yukun smiled bitterly.
Unexpectedly, Ma Chuling nodded seriously: "You used to be like a child who had not grown up, stupid and stupid."
"Do you want to say it so seriously?" Zhou Yukun shook his head with a chuckle. Although he knew that his personality would change certainly after he recovered his memory, he did not feel much.
The atmosphere gradually became silent, and the two people who had not seen each other for a long time seemed to have no idea what to talk about.
Suddenly, Ma Chuling raised his hand and stroked the short hair in his ears, and asked with a complicated expression: "Zhou Yukun, last time... what happened after we separated last time? Why did the whole dream become like this now?"
"It happened... so many, so many that I can't finish it." Zhou Yukun spread his hands helplessly. At this time, he looked at Ma Chuling opposite him. He found that there had been too many changes in the past three years. She was obviously in her twenties, but she had grown a lot taller without realizing it, and finally looked like an adult.
And the braids that used to be like little girls have now been cut a lot shorter, just shoulder-to-shoulder. Such slight changes have made her lose her childishness and become a little stronger.
After being stared at him so carefully, Ma Chuling was immediately embarrassed and coughed heavily: "Have you seen enough? Do you still want to be thrown into a dog and eat shit by me?" As he said that, he stretched out his slender arm, and the threat was particularly obvious.
"No, can't I be wrong? Don't do it." Zhou Yukun took a few steps back in panic, but a strong smile could be seen in his eyes. Of course, with his current skills, Ma Chuling could no longer be his opponent.
Ma Chuling laughed out loud, put her hands on her hips, pretending to be proud: "Hmph, it's good if you know you're afraid. Look at me again in the future and dig out your eyes." Unconsciously, it seemed that even she couldn't help but return to her appearance three years ago, being spoiled and willful, and she would beat people up at any time.
Afterwards, the two of them started chatting happily in the living room. Of course, most of the time, Ma Chuling was talking about what she had experienced in the past three years, and Zhou Yukun was just a silent listener. He had also discovered that Ma Chuling had changed too much, and it seemed that a lot of things had happened to her in the past three years.
Finally, Ma Chuling gradually paused, with a hint of gloom in his eyes, and sat up from the sofa: "...Okay, let's talk about this today, I'm going to go home too. By the way, I've been talking for so long, but I haven't congratulated you on your recovery. Congratulations on your recovery!"
After saying that, she slowly stood up and walked out the door. She had heard Li Xiaohu's rejection before, so she no longer had the luxury of helping the other party.
"Wait, you are so anxious to leave, don't you wait for me to pack up?" Zhou Yukun suddenly spoke.
Ma Chuling paused and looked at him in surprise: "You, what are you talking about? Didn't Lord Liu Chan say he would not be able to provide assistance?"
"Yes, he said he would not send anyone to help, but I didn't say I wouldn't help."
"But... you are not his..."
Zhou Yukun shook his head gently: "I don't belong to anyone's power, I am me! Brother Ma Chao is my friend, and Uncle Ma Teng is also a person I admire very much. Moreover, my master Tong Yuan should also be in Jumen. If I don't even care about my master who has kindness to me, then what's the meaning of living?"
Ma Chuling was shocked by this statement, but she still hesitated a little: "But... but you have just woken up and your body shouldn't have recovered yet. How can you put you in danger?"
"Don't worry, do you think I'm like the kind of person who is rushing to die?"
"Like! Didn't you just want to resist tens of thousands of enemies alone? What's wrong with dying?"
Zhou Yukun broke out in a cold sweat: "Uh, it's all in the past. Cough cough, hurry up and prepare to buy air tickets. It's not too late, the earlier you set off, the better."
...
Four hours later, a plane from Tiangang City landed in Jumen City.
I saw three young men coming out of the plane, one man and two women. The man had a firm face and a faint calming aura all over his body, as if nothing could affect him; and the two women beside him were slightly short, as if they were carrying two elementary school students.
They were Zhou Yukun and others who rushed to Jumen. However, it was originally only Zhou Yukun and Ma Chuling who arrived, but unexpectedly, Hu Yueyue didn't know where to find out the news and insisted on following Zhou Yukun over, otherwise she would have to harm herself in person. In desperation, Zhou Yukun could only bring her along.
The three of them left the airport in sequence, followed the exit, and soon arrived outside the airport. Looking at the towering skyscrapers in the distance, Zhou Yukun subconsciously asked: "Ma Chuling, how long does it take to return to your residence from here?"
Although he didn't understand what he wanted to do, Ma Chuling replied honestly: "The airport is in the southern suburbs of Jumen City, and we live in the western suburbs of the city. We have to travel at least half a city, and it will take at least one and a half hours at the fastest."
After thinking a little, Zhou Yukun continued to ask: "Then tell them that you have already returned?"
"Hmm? Not yet, I didn't turn on my phone on the plane. Why, do you want to notify them to pick us up now?"
"No, fortunately you didn't inform me, don't call me, let's just take a taxi."
"Oh, okay." Ma Chuling was a little confused, not knowing what Zhou Yukun wanted to do. He could only follow him like this, and saw him stopping a taxi and get into the car together.
Soon, as the taxi started, Ma Chuling always felt an inexplicable sense of incongruity, as if something strange happened. She looked at the scenery flashing outside the window, but she couldn't figure out what was wrong in her mind.
After walking for nearly half an hour, Ma Chuling's eyes gradually widened. As she grew up in Jumen, she finally realized that what they were walking was the wrong way. Her first reaction was that the driver drove a car and wanted to cheat people. But soon, she was shocked because she suddenly remembered that since they got in the car, the driver had never asked about the destination!
Slowly, the taxi slowly drove into a narrow alley. Ma Chuling's expression changed drastically and he hurriedly shouted: "Stop, what do you want to do? Do you know who I am? How dare you bring us here?"
Unexpectedly, the driver smiled grimly, and with a "squeak", he parked the taxi in the center of the alley: "Hehe, of course I know who you are. But unfortunately, the person we are going to catch is you, do it!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Ma Chuling saw ten people jumping out of the alleys around her in the blink of an eye and surrounded the taxi. She anxiously shouted to Zhou Yukun in the front seat, "Run quickly, the enemy is ambush!"
But at a blink of an eye, she found that Zhou Yukun was sitting upright, with a faint smile on her mouth.
"It's okay, don't be nervous. I've been waiting for them for a long time. I'm worried that no one will lead me!" (To be continued)
