Chapter 869 I Want to Be the Monkey King [End of Volume]

The day after Christmas Eve, on Christmas Day, Lao Zheng caught a plane at five in the morning and returned to the United States, saying that there were still things to take care of there.

After Lao Zheng left, everyone slept in the office for a very long time.

Bai Qingxia, Zheng Yifeng, Su Miaomiao, and Bai Songzhe squeezed onto the sofa, while Lu Yuanqiu slept on the carpet. Xiao Li Feibiao sat alone outside the office all night. Everyone was covered with the company's blankets and slept until 2 p.m.

Lu Yuanqiu was still woken up by Cao Shuang's phone call.

This kid made a phone call just to wish everyone a Merry Christmas, and after being scolded by Lu Yuanqiu, he hung up the phone in a huff.

Lu Yuanqiu stood up and covered Bai Qingxia with his blanket.

Zheng Yifeng was the second to wake up. After four months apart, his hair had grown quite a bit and seemed uncut. Lu Yuanqiu and he stared at each other in silence for a long time. For a moment, they both felt that what Zheng Ye had said last night sounded like an unreal dream.

"What do you mean? Are you going home? Or are you going to see your sister?" Lu Yuanqiu asked.

As soon as he spoke, Bai Qingxia, who was on the sofa, woke up. She got up, looked at the two layers of blankets covering her, and looked towards Lu Yuanqiu.

Lu Yuanqiu smiled at her.

Bai Qingxia forced a smile, her expression somewhat dazed. After laughing, she sat there in a daze, clearly feeling that what happened last night was like a dream.

Bai Songzhe remained unconscious for a long time. Lu Yuanqiu circled around to check on him and discovered that Bai Songzhe's eyes were already open; he simply didn't want to wake up.

Zheng Yifeng responded: "I'm going to see Dai Yidan."

Lu Yuanqiu, Bai Qingxia, and Su Miaomiao accompanied them this time. The four of them discussed what to say later on the way. The result of their discussion was that they would tell everything, but they would keep the matter of Zhang Zhisheng killing Li Yuntan a secret.

Upon arriving at the ward, the group discovered that Su Xiaoya was sitting by the bedside. Seeing her son, Su Xiaoya was somewhat uneasy, because Lu Yuanqiu had emphasized that she should no longer concern herself with the Zhang family's affairs. Su Xiaoya had only come to check on things after hearing that Zhang Zhisheng hadn't come last night, and she had stayed there all night.

However, Lu Yuanqiu did not scold her.

With mixed feelings, Zheng Yifeng sat down by the bedside and took Dai Yidan's withered hand in his.

He was somewhat surprised by Dai Yidan's current appearance.

That dazzling star will never be seen again.

Dai Yidan's eyelids twitched, and she slowly opened them, looking at the person sitting next to her.

Her eyes were vacant, and she seemed to not recognize Zheng Yifeng at all.

"sister."

Zheng Yifeng spoke up and took out his phone to find a photo of Li Yuntan. He specifically chose a photo with a smile on it and placed it in front of Dai Yidan.

“This is our mother. I remember your smile; it's a bit like hers.”

Dai Yidan looked up at her phone screen. After staring at it for a while, she reached out her weak hand to touch the screen. However, she seemed to be a little confused. Her face was expressionless, and there were no tears in her eyes. Her fingers just waved aimlessly in front of the screen, as if she couldn't touch it no matter what she did.

A moment later, she opened her mouth and let out a weak sound:

"Dad...Mom..."

"Dad...Mom..."

Bai Qingxia closed her eyes and gripped Lu Yuanqiu's hand tightly. Zheng Yifeng lowered his head by the bedside. Su Xiaoya's soft sobs came from the ward. Su Miaomiao placed her hand on Zheng Yifeng's back with reddened eyes.

A cold wind was blowing outside the hospital, and the weather was colder than usual, but for some reason, the heavy snow was still slow to fall.

Five days later, on New Year's Eve, nothing happened. Lu Yuanqiu and Bai Qingxia were still in Lucheng. They hadn't been back to Zhucheng for classes for several days. However, on New Year's Eve, Lu Yuanqiu contacted his friends in Zhucheng in advance, asking them to come to Lucheng during the holiday so they could celebrate New Year's Day together. After all, Zheng Yifeng had returned and was in Lucheng.

After four months apart, everyone missed Zheng Yifeng. Cao Shuang even brought Ruan Yueru and rushed over from Zhucheng overnight. Liu Wangchun once again generously provided hotel accommodations.

Around midnight, Ruan Yueru went home to stay, while Cao Shuang, who had arrived at the hotel, sent a message to Lu Yuanqiu.

Cao Shuang: Qiu-ge, I'm going to confess to Ruan Yueru tomorrow, New Year's Day. This time it's for real.

Lu Dasheng: If you dare to feint again, I'll beat you to death.

Cao Shuang: Hehe, no way. I've practiced my confession in front of the mirror several times, so I'm sure there won't be any mistakes on the spot.

Apart from the two who returned at night, the others took the high-speed train in the early morning. Lu Yuanqiu got up very early that day and took Bai Qingxia and Cao Shuang to the high-speed train station to pick them up. Xiao Li Feibiao also wanted to come along, so Lu Yuanqiu let him drive his father's Audi, which was just enough to pick them up.

But to his surprise, an accident still occurred.

As soon as they met outside the high-speed rail station, Luo Wei walked into the square and suddenly clutched her stomach in obvious pain.

She's about to give birth.

This was about ten days earlier than the due date.

Cao Shuang slapped his mouth on the spot: "They really chose this day to confess my feelings..."

Lu Yuanqiu quickly drove Zhong Jincheng and Luo Wei to the First Municipal Hospital.

Outside the delivery room, others arrived one after another, and they saw Zhong Jincheng pacing back and forth, looking extremely anxious.

Xu Siyang counted on his fingers: "Born on January 1st, this is an auspicious day. This child is sure to be blessed with good fortune!"

“Yes, yes, yes, if you know how to talk, then talk more.” Fingel quickly pushed Xu Siyang forward.

Zhong Jincheng could only laugh awkwardly, but he still couldn't hide his anxiety.

"Have you all had breakfast?" Lu Yuanqiu asked, hands on his hips. Everyone shook their heads.

Lu Yuanqiu waved his hand: "Alright, I'll go buy it."

“You can’t carry all of this, can you? Let’s do it together.” Bai Qingxia followed.

Cao Shuang chuckled and stopped her, "It's alright, it's alright, I'll go with Brother Qiu."

Seeing that Lu Yuanqiu had already reached the corner, Cao Shuang immediately jogged to catch up. Ruan Yueru peeked over and felt that Cao Shuang was inexplicably excited today.

In the elevator, Cao Shuang glanced down at the small note in her pocket, her lips moving as she read it aloud. Lu Yuanqiu noticed this small action and immediately asked curiously, "What's that?"

"No, no, no." Cao Shuang immediately turned her body away to block Lu Yuanqiu from seeing, while still smiling.

"Still so mysterious...tch."

There were many breakfast stalls outside the hospital. Cao Shuang bought some from the nearest stall after going out, while Lu Yuanqiu glanced across the street and said to Cao Shuang, "I'll go take a look over there."

"okay."

Lu Yuanqiu crossed the road and came to the breakfast stall. He ordered a bunch of steamed buns according to the number of people. After paying, he walked to another stall to buy some egg pancakes. At this moment, a roar suddenly came from behind him.

"Brother Qiu!!!"

Lu Yuanqiu turned around, and a figure pushed him away. He fell to the ground and rolled several times before stopping. His forehead rubbed against the ground, and his head was completely fuzzy. His ears were ringing, but he could still hear screams coming from all directions. The crowd was in complete chaos.

Lu Yuanqiu quickly sat up from the ground and saw the owner of the breakfast stall lying in a pool of blood, twitching. The breakfast stall had been smashed to pieces, and a car was rapidly reversing, with debris scattered all over it. Through the half-broken windshield, Lu Yuanqiu could see the person sitting in the driver's seat.

It's Zhang Yibin!

Zhang Yibin, sporting a shaved head, furiously slammed the steering wheel. In the passenger seat sat a man, terrified, wearing a cross necklace and repeatedly shouting, "Mr. Zhang! Mr. Zhang! Let me out!"

Zhang Yibin ignored him completely, his sinister gaze fixed on Lu Yuanqiu.

"Lu Yuanqiu! You not only ruined me, but you also ruined my mother and my father! I'll kill you today!"

"Mr. Zhang, calm down!"

"Shut up!"

Lu Yuanqiu held his breath, clenched his fists, and watched the car keep retreating. He immediately turned his head to look for cover, but in the process of searching, he suddenly caught sight of Bai Qingxia, who was struggling to squeeze out of the crowd of onlookers by the roadside.

She was too conspicuous. Lu Yuanqiu looked at her, then at the car. Zhang Yibin was turning the steering wheel and also noticed Bai Qingxia by the roadside. He instantly changed his strategy, roared, stepped on the gas, and rushed towards the roadside, crashing into Bai Qingxia.

Lu Yuanqiu's blood clotted.

"boom!"

A loud crash was heard as the car heading towards Bai Qingxia was overturned by a white Audi.

The deployed airbag knocked off Xiao Li Feibiao's sunglasses, revealing a gruesome injured left eye. Xiao Li Feibiao quickly got out of the car and rushed towards the overturned sedan.

Bai Qingxia retreated and immediately ran towards Lu Yuanqiu, whose legs had gone limp and whose breathing was trembling.

Bai Qingxia approached, but then stopped, her gaze drawn to another scene behind Lu Yuanqiu. She opened her eyes wide in horror and covered her mouth. Lu Yuanqiu quickly turned around and saw Cao Shuang's figure among the group of passersby lying in pools of blood.

Thinking of that first "Brother Qiu," Lu Yuanqiu rushed over immediately.

Cao Shuang's right leg was severely deformed, and he kept spitting out blood. His body trembled uncontrollably. He looked at Lu Yuanqiu, who was kneeling beside him with a pale face, and his face first showed pain, then a bleak smile.

"Brother Qiu...I...am I handsome or not..."

Bai Qingxia dialed 120 while crying. Her hands were trembling with anxiety, and the words that came out of her mouth were all choked with sobs.

"Handsome...handsome." Lu Yuanqiu didn't dare to touch Cao Shuang, and broke down in tears.

"You...you might not...be able to...be reborn...I...I might..."

"Stop talking, Shuangzi, rest for a bit, wait for the ambulance, wait for the ambulance!"

Cao Shuang couldn't hear the sound anymore, he only saw Lu Yuanqiu's mouth moving. He looked up at the sky and saw a six-pointed snowflake gradually enlarging in front of him. It was snowing, and snowflakes were fluttering in the air, as beautiful as a scene from a dream.

Winter has finally arrived.

Lu Yuanqiu turned his head and saw a piece of paper falling out of Cao Shuang's trouser leg. There were many words written on the paper, but it was stained with blood, so only the first few lines could be read.

"Yueyue, I like you. Be my girlfriend. I've thought it through. I want to be the Monkey King, a brave and fearless person..."

Inside the hospital.

A baby's cry came from the direction of the delivery room. The door opened, and Zhong Jincheng turned his head to look, revealing a look of surprise.

"Congratulations, it's a boy!"
