Unconventional blind dates

Chapter 138 Am I an Orphan?

"That's how it should be? What do you mean?"

Lu Li's mind went blank for a moment.

Previously, Fang Yuebai had always thought of his parents as the same as him.

But now, it seems there's more to the story?

Could it be that Fang Yuebai, like himself, was not corrupted by the change in worldview?

Is she special too?

No, that's not it.

Fang Yuebai explained, "Actually, the uncles and aunts in my memory are indeed just like what you said, Brother Li."

"But I always felt something was strange."

Lu Li sat up. "What's strange?"

"Well... how should I put it, I feel it's all so fake." Fang Yuebai sat up with a blank look in her eyes. "Sometimes, I suddenly feel like my aunt and uncle haven't been around for a long time."

"When did you start having this feeling?" Lu Li immediately asked.

Fang Yuebai thought for a moment, then hesitated and said, "It was about four months ago, but I don't remember it very clearly."

"At first I thought it was because I had a dark side, but the more I went on, the stranger it seemed. I even went to see a psychologist."

Lu Li remained silent.

Nearly four months ago

That was during the time his parents were away on vacation.

That was also the time when he first went on a blind date with Miss Bai.

He hadn't contacted his parents before, partly because he didn't know what it meant and never had that idea.

Another reason is that his worldview is constantly changing, so he feels it's meaningless since the world will reset anyway.

But judging from Fang Yuebai's reaction

"Bai Bai, do you think the world has suddenly become very strange?"

Fang Yuebai asked, puzzled, "What's so strange about it?"

"The world wasn't originally like this. For example, there was no martial arts in the world, and everyone was just an ordinary person." Lu Li described what the world should be like under a normal worldview.

"No, the world has always been like this," Fang Yuebai reassured him. "Brother Li, I think you're just under too much pressure."

"Maybe so," Lu Li said noncommittally.

"Alright, go to sleep early."

"Yes, staying up late is bad for your skin."

After they finished speaking, neither of them said anything.

After a while, Fang Yuebai asked, "Brother Li, are you asleep?"

"Asleep."

As soon as Lu Li finished answering, he heard a rustling sound.

Then he felt someone get out of bed, his blankets were pulled back, and a hot body crawled in.

Of course, they were wearing clothes.

Fang Yuebai hugged Lu Li, cradling his head in her soft embrace, and whispered, "Brother Li, there's no need to put so much pressure on yourself. No matter what, I'll stand by you."

Lu Li mumbled in her arms, "I didn't expect you to pull this stunt all of a sudden. You've got some nerve, you little brat."

"Oh, I just suddenly remembered the past."

Fang Yuebai said softly, "Maybe I'm mistaken, but I remember that more than ten years ago, something happened to your aunt and uncle, and then you got into a fight at school. After the fight, you stood alone in the neighborhood smoking. I remember that was the first time you smoked."

That night, I had just come home from school and saw you standing alone in the rain. I felt really lonely.

"So I started cooking for you that night, and that's how I coaxed you to sleep. You were crying so loudly in my arms."

As soon as she finished speaking, Lu Li was stunned.

"I think... I do have a vague recollection of it."

But if that's the case, does that mean my parents are really gone?

"Brother Li."

"Um?"

"Let's go back to Los Angeles tomorrow."

"Um."

"Let's go to the cemetery together. If your uncle and aunt are really gone, they should be in Panlong Cemetery. I remember that most of your elders are there, Brother Li."

"Um."

"Brother Li, go to sleep."

Fang Yuebai gently patted Lu Li's back, humming an unknown lullaby softly.

After an unknown amount of time, Lu Li drifted off to sleep.

The next day, early in the morning—

Lu Li felt very depressed.

He opened his eyes groggily, and what came into view were two large, white breasts and collarbones.

Struggling to sit up, Lu Li rubbed his neck.

"Good morning, Brother Li."

Sensing the movement, Fang Yuebai rubbed her eyes and sat up.

Sensing that Lu Li's gaze was off, she pulled up the collar on the left side, which had slipped down to her shoulder.

"The steel plate ribs of yesteryear have actually evolved to the peak. Bye, you've gained quite a bit of weight."

Fang Yuebai rolled her eyes, threw off the covers, got up, and went to the bathroom to wash up, wearing only a loose T-shirt that covered her thighs and underwear.

The two swaying structures made Lu Li look away.

Did this girl take it off while she was sleeping? She really has no sense of self-protection at all.

Soon, after everyone had taken turns getting dressed and washing up, Fang Yuebai said, "Let's go, Brother Li, let's go back to Luocheng."

Lu Li nodded. "Mm."

Speechless all the way.

Take a taxi to the airport, buy a ticket, board the plane, and head back to Los Angeles.

After arriving in Los Angeles, they went home, got in the car, and then drove straight to a cemetery in the suburbs.

An hour and a half later, we arrived at the cemetery on the mountain.

Upon entering the cemetery, Lu Li frowned.

He already had a sense of déjà vu.

It feels like I've been here many times before.

In fact, he has come here many times.

But in the past, they only came to visit their grandparents' generation, and basically only once a year.

The route that gave him a sense of déjà vu was different from the route he remembered.

"Bai Bai, do you remember this place?"

But Fang Yuebai probably hasn't been here, unless she came with him before.

But in Lu Li's memory, she couldn't have come here with him.

Fang Yuebai's eyes were blank, as if she was recalling something.

"I don't think I've been here before, but I seem to remember coming here with you, Brother Li, and you even cried here."

Fang Yuebai took Lu Li's hand and walked forward, "It seems to be this way."

Lu Li followed her and walked forward.

After walking for about twenty minutes, they finally stopped in front of a black stone tombstone.

Looking at the name on the tombstone and the two photos, Lu Li's face turned extremely ugly.

His originally upright posture even began to tremble slightly unconsciously.

Fang Yuebai held Lu Li's hand and looked at him worriedly, "Brother Li."

"I'm fine." Lu Li swayed slightly, then took a deep breath. "I'm fine."

The two names on the tombstone, and the two black and white photos, were clearly photos of his parents!

The tombstones indicate that they all passed away on the same day, ten years ago, in the summer when Lu Li was eighteen.

"Brother Li, do you remember anything?" Fang Yuebai's face was also very pale. "I still have a vague feeling that I have experienced these things, but I can't remember anything when I try to recall them carefully."

"As far as I know, my aunt and uncle called me just a few months ago, wanting me to go on a blind date with you."

She looked up and held out her hand. "Is it raining?"

"I know, actually I am too."

Lu Li rubbed his temples, took a deep look at the tombstone, turned around and left. "Let's go."

He tried to resurrect his parents using the dream world.

Because in his subconscious, he believed that his parents were still alive, and that they had simply gone on a trip.

But there was no response.

"Um."

Fang Yuebai bit her lower lip, glanced at his back with a hint of heartache, and then followed him.

But after a few steps, she saw Lu Li stop.

"Brother Li, what's wrong?"

Lu Li turned his head to look at the tombstone in front of him, his expression one of utter astonishment.

The name and photo on that tombstone are of Pan Shuai!

How is this possible?!
