Chapter 46 What's Missing

He put Gu Xiaolei on the bed, covered him with the quilt, and turned off the lights in the bedroom. Gu Yuan returned to the living room and faced his second uncle, second aunt, and Gu Chuxue who were all anxious. He took a sip of tea and recounted what he had experienced earlier.

The matter was told once.

At first, when they heard that Gu Xiaolei had encountered a monster, the second aunt and Gu Chuxue were so frightened that their faces turned pale, but when the complete story was told, their expressions became slightly moved.

"Then...is Xiao Lei okay?" the second aunt asked worriedly.

As a mother, what she cares about most is her children.

"The people from the Demon Suppression Department told me that Xiao Lei will be fine as soon as he wakes up." Gu Yuan said, "However, he will forget everything that happened before, and all memories related to Hong Que will be erased.

But it won't affect his life."

"Then... then, none of us are allowed to mention what happened today!" the second aunt said immediately.

After saying that, he looked at his second uncle.

On weekdays, the second aunt has the final say on all matters in the family and has the right to veto. But when it comes to truly major matters, the second aunt still has to ask the second uncle for his opinion.

Gu Jianshan's expression looked a little serious.

He was silent for a moment and said, "That's it."

After saying that, he stood up.

"It's so late, where are you going?" the second aunt asked quickly.

"The driver who caused the accident while driving drunk has not been dealt with yet. I have to go there." Gu Jianshan snorted coldly, "Fortunately, Xiaolei is fine, otherwise..."

Speaking of this, he suddenly became speechless and his expression was particularly unnatural.

After all, the one who saved Gu Xiaolei was the monster that everyone should have shouted at.

He was also a little at a loss.

After all, in the world of ordinary people, demons are heinous existences.

After his second uncle left, Gu Yuan also took a shower and returned to his room to rest at the urging of his second aunt.

The atmosphere at home is indeed a bit dull. Gu Chuxue was originally clamoring to go live with her grandma, but now it seems that there is no need for it.

Lying on the bed, the room was dark, and the weak light penetrated the window and poured onto the bed. Gu Yuan folded his hands together and put them under his head, thinking about what happened today, his mind was in a mess.

Demons are the source of all evil.

This concept has long been ingrained in Gu Yuan's mind, and he has never had any doubts about it.

Eliminating demons should be an important task shouldered by every human race, and it should be like this at all times.

But the appearance of Hongque had a huge impact on Gu Yuan. He couldn't say who was right or wrong. However, this incident made Gu Yuan realize the complexity of the world, and even what he now understands,

This is just the tip of the iceberg in this complex world.

After tossing and turning for a long time, Gu Yuan finally fell asleep.

The next morning, when he got up, he saw that Gu Xiaolei was already sitting at the dining table eating breakfast, and his second aunt was still hanging clothes. She didn't go to work today.

Gu Yuan guessed that the second aunt might be worried about Gu Xiaolei.

"Brother, you're awake!"

Gu Yuan was slightly stunned. Looking at Gu Xiaolei with a bright smile on his face, he felt a little dazed for a moment, as if everything that happened last night was just a dream. Even after waking up for a long time, he was still very moved...

He sat next to Gu Xiaolei and looked at it carefully.

Gu Xiaolei pushed the soy milk poured into the cup in front of Gu Yuan, turned his face and looked at each other.

"Brother, what's wrong?"

"No, it's okay..." Gu Yuan shook his head.

Looking at Xiao Lei, it seems that he really doesn't remember what happened last night.

only.

Gu Yuan still can't decide whether this is a good thing or a bad thing for Gu Xiaolei.

Gu Xiaolei took a sip of soy milk, wiped his hands and said, "You are all weird today."

"What?"

"The way you looked at me just now, when I got up this morning, my mother looked at me like this, and my father looked at me like this when he went out. Even Gu Chuxue looked at me like this." Gu Xiaolei frowned and said,

“I always feel like something is wrong, but I can’t put my finger on it.”

"Could it be because you got up too early today?" Gu Yuan asked tentatively.

Gu Xiaolei immediately showed an expression of sudden realization.

"That's right! It's summer vacation now, and I usually have to sleep until ten o'clock!" As he spoke, Gu Xiaolei's face also showed an expression of enlightenment. The previous doubts were instantly dispelled, and everything seemed to become reasonable.

.

Gu Yuan was eating his breakfast and talking about it.

"What time did you go to bed last night?"

"What time? Let me think about it...it seems to be nine o'clock, right? I took a shower and went to bed after buying vinegar. For some reason, I was very sleepy last night."

Gu Yuan nodded lightly.

This monster tribe is really powerful, and the memory is erased just as it is said to be erased.

After breakfast, Gu Yuan greeted his second aunt and prepared to go out.

"Brother, I'll go out with you!" Gu Xiaolei hurriedly followed.

"You are not allowed to go out!" Second Aunt, who was still busy on the balcony, said quickly.

"Mom, I am going out to buy reference books and tasks assigned by the school. Moreover, I have made an appointment with my classmates to go together." Gu Xiaolei explained.

The second aunt was a little at a loss.

"Wait a minute... Mom will go out and buy it for you later."

Gu Xiaolei had a question mark on his face.

"It's okay, Second Aunt, let Xiaolei go out with me." Gu Yuan knew what Second Aunt was worried about. But Gu Xiaolei is a normal person and cannot go out forever.

The second aunt's eyes were complicated, but she still nodded.

When going downstairs, Gu Xiaolei was still mumbling.

"Brother, what do you think is wrong with my mother?"

"Maybe I'm afraid that you've been out crazy for too long." Gu Yuan said calmly.

Gu Xiaolei nodded without thinking about whether this was reasonable or not.

"By the way, brother, where are you going?"

"Zhen... a friend."

"oh……"

Walking to the gate of the community, Gu Yuan suddenly thought of something and asked: "Is the classmate you made an appointment with Yu Yang?"

"No." Gu Xiaolei shook his head, "Yu Yang... I don't know what happened, but I suddenly don't want to be friends with Yu Yang."

Gu Yuan was slightly startled and said quickly: "What's going on? Aren't you and Yu Yang very close?"

"I don't know! I just suddenly don't want to play with him anymore." Gu Xiaolei blinked, "I'm confused too."

Gu Yuan's face looked a little uncomfortable.

Immediately, he noticed that Gu Xiaolei stopped and looked directly across the road.

"What's wrong?" Gu Yuan asked, "The bus stop is in front. Aren't you going to the bookstore?"

"Brother, look at that."

"Um?"

"I just think that girl is so pretty!" Gu Xiaolei said with a smile on his face.

Gu Yuan followed Gu Xiaolei's gaze and looked across the road. All he could see was a back figure walking lightly.

The red dress, gently blown by the summer wind, was particularly eye-catching.

But, that's not a cardinal.

Gu Yuan turned around and looked at Gu Xiaolei. At this time, there were tears on the young man's face.

"Brother, I don't know why. I feel like something is missing suddenly, and I don't know what is missing. It feels so uncomfortable..." He wiped his tears and looked at Gu Yuan, his eyes sparkling with tears.
