【Lotus Cake】The stepbrother is fierce

——It will be bright.

72.

The last time Hong Jin went to the teacher's school was when he first joined Shen Gongbao's school.After all, Taiyi is also Hong Jin's uncle.

The Kunlun School is famous all over the world, and there are Taoist temples everywhere. After Hong Jin left Shen Gongbao's residence, he went straight to the Kunlun Taoist temple.

When we got there, it was completely dark. Although there are only 108 steps, it looks like it goes straight to the top of the mountain at a glance, with no end in sight.

The surrounding vegetation is dense, and the night wind is blowing through, exuding a solemn coldness.

Hong Jin gritted his teeth and went up the mountain. He climbed 108 steps for about ten minutes with his physical strength.

Hong Jin patted the door knocker,

"Hong Jin, a disciple of Shen Gongbao's sect, asks to see Master Taiyi!"

It took a few minutes for a disciple to answer the door.

"Please show proof of identity."

Hong Jin was stunned for a moment, he came here in a hurry, where did he bring the proof?

"It's really urgent. Something happened to Master Taiyi's student, please report it!"

The student thought for a while and said, "Okay, then wait a moment."

The waiting time always seemed long, and the darkness around Hong Jin aroused his inner anxiety even more.He didn't know if Zhao Gongming had found Shi Ji, and how the two of them were talking, and he didn't know if Shen Gongbao would make the next move, and what happened to Nezha and Ao Bing.

Hong Jin thinks that he is cool by nature, and he doesn't care about anything except his teacher's affairs.He also doubted whether he was suitable to be a doctor. He never had the kindness of a doctor.

This was the first time since he was born that he regretted and anxious about other people's affairs, and even acted in disobedience to his teacher's orders.

But Hong Jin felt the vitality of the blood flowing in the pulse, like spring water bubbling from a dry ancient well, a gap was dug in a rancid lake, and the stagnant water was slightly billowing.

Finally, there was the sound of "creaking—" the door opened again, and Taiyi stumbled out of the door, his face was still flushed with alcohol, but his eyes were clear.

"Who is looking for me? What happened to Nezha!"

Hong Jin grabbed Taiyi and rushed down the mountain. Now for Nezha, time is life. He explained as he walked,

"Nezha has fallen and is in danger, come with me!"

"Falled? Why?" Taiyi looked at Hong Jin suspiciously, "Aren't you a student of Shen Gongbao? Why do you still care about Nezha? What conspiracy do you have?"

No wonder Taiyi became suspicious, even Hong Jin himself doubted whether he was a fake student of Shen Gongbao,

"I've disobeyed my teacher's orders, you'll know if it's true or not if you come with me!"

After hearing this, Taiyi didn't refute—with Hong Jin's ability, he couldn't pose a threat to himself.What's more, about Nezha, I'd rather believe it than believe it.

The two went down the mountain, and Hong Jin hailed a car and rushed to the hospital.There is still some distance from here to the city hospital, and the scenery of the suburbs is receding outside the window. Hong Jin didn't care to appreciate it, but held his hand tightly.

Taiyi glanced at him from the side, and muttered,

"You doll is also very strange. Unlike Shen Gongbao's students, you are more suitable to come to my division."

Hong Jin still looked out of the window, "It is my choice to disobey my teacher's order, but I will not betray my teacher."

Taiyi hummed twice,

"My junior brother is so bad... What, you still feel sorry for him?"

"It has nothing to do with the teacher."

"Then what are you doing for?"

Hong Jin replied, "The sky above your head, the land under your feet, and the conscience in your heart."

73.

In the city hospital, Ao Guang paced anxiously at the door of the ward. The doctors inside were busy, intubating and administering salt water.

Before Nezha's problem was solved, Ao Bing fell down again. Even after experiencing the turmoil of most of his life, Ao Guang felt exhausted at this moment.

The dean who heard the news stood beside Ao Guang and sighed,

"It's really a wave of unrest."

Ao Guang clenched his fists, "Please don't say a few words."

"I didn't mean to watch the excitement," the dean raised his hands, "I just want to remind you——Right now, it is both the worst case and the best case."

Ao Guang looked up at the dean, his eyes were a little red because he was angry.

He understood what the dean meant.

Needless to say the worst case, the two children fell down one after another, life and death are uncertain, it is undoubtedly terrible; but at the same time, it is also an excellent opportunity - at this time to change their hearts, Nezha can't resist, and Ao Bing has no way of knowing.

Afterwards, as long as he claimed to the Li family that Nezha died of a sudden illness, he would transplant the heart to Ao Bing as promised.As for Ao Bing, he also has a way to hide it to death, so as not to let him know that the heart belongs to Nezha.

"Members of the heart transplant team are ready."

But at this time, the dean's voice was not salty.

Ao Guang's nails dug into his palm, and a moment later, he punched hard on the white wall of the corridor, and the joints were rubbed red with the seeping white wall dust.

His voice was low and hoarse, his breathing was heavy, and he took a long time to say,

"Need not."

When Tai Yi and Hong Jin arrived in a hurry, the two wards were still in emergency state.

Hong Jin didn't know that Ao Bing had also collapsed at this time, so they went straight to Nezha's ward after asking about it.

The corridor outside Nezha's ward was empty, and neither Ao Bing nor Ao Guang was seen.Only then did Hong Jin realize something was wrong.

"Uncle Taiyi, you guard Nezha, I'll go find Ao Bing!"

After speaking, he turned around and rushed to the front desk.

Taiyi is not a medical staff, even if he has the best ability, he cannot enter the emergency room.He simply took out the magic weapon through the wall and sensed Nezha's situation.

The magic weapon flickered, as if the flame was being deflected by the turbulent airflow, and whether it was heat or energy, they were all passing away and being consumed.Taiyi saw that his forehead was sweating, and secretly scolded himself for being careless, and something happened when he didn't look at Nezha after returning to the teacher's gate for a while.

But Taiyi is not a magic stick, he has a lot of magic tools and he is not small, so he fumbled in his pocket and pasted a piece of talisman paper on it. Immediately, the light on the magic weapon became much more stable, but there were also fine and dense spots. The light can't stop flying away.

This is Nezha's vitality.

Even if the flow rate is slowed down, it can't stop the water from rushing through the gaps in the sand and stones.

"Damn it! What the hell is pretending to be a monster!"

Taiyi continued to cast spells cursingly, and then slapped a bunch of talisman papers on the wall with "pa pa pa pa".

Suddenly a hand stretched out, and with a "crash", the talisman paper was thrown off.

"Grass! Which turtle—" Taiyi turned his head, facing the serious and contemptuous face of the cleaning lady.

"Don't post small advertisements in the hospital!"

Taiyi is going to faint,

"How does this look like a small ad! Your small ad is written like this ghostly drawing? Oh, that's right, the doctors at the top of your hospital seem to write like that... Oh, anyway, I am not an ad, I am saving people! Save people, aunt, don't come here to make trouble!"

The mop in the cleaning lady's hand hit Taiyi's face three centimeters away.

"Whose aunt are you calling! You're the one who doesn't want to mess around here. What nonsense are you talking about to save people? The door of the psychiatric department was not closed properly and you ran out?"

Taiyi took three deep breaths before warning himself not to beat the working people. He turned around and continued to slap the talisman against the wall. The most urgent task was to delay Nezha's life.

"Hey, why are you still..."

"Huh?" Taiyi was stunned for a moment, and the cleaning lady was also interrupted by his sound.

Taiyi looked at the re-stabilized light on the magic vessel, looked at it for a while, and tore off the talisman paper hesitantly.

The unknown source that absorbed Nezha's vitality was suddenly cut off.

"What's the matter?" Taiyi was really confused now.

The cleaning aunt took a look at him, and walked away muttering, "I also want to know what's going on with this man..."

"Drip-"

The green light at the door of the operating room came on, and the door opened with a bang, and a doctor in a white coat came out, "Where are the family members of the patient? They are all fine."

"Here, here, here!" Taiyi hurried over, signed the notebook and rushed into the medical room,

"Nezha! My Hattu!"

In the medical room, Nezha opened his eyes, the light above his head was a bit dazzling, he got used to it for a while before he could see Taiyi clearly.

"I'm dead? Why did you see the dead fat man?"

"I hate you, you bastard!" Taiyi was so angry that Nezha woke up with the first words, and hit him hard.

"Alive! You have just been rescued."

Nezha frowned and looked around, "Where's Ao Bing?"

"You still care about him? Can you care about Kazakhs?" Taiyi hated iron but not steel, "Someone secretly extracted your vitality, but it stopped suddenly just now. I haven't figured out the situation yet. It's impossible to guarantee that there will be a comeback. Be careful! "

Nezha didn't listen at all, and asked again, "Do my parents know about my hospitalization?"

Taiyi was taken aback, "Oh yes, I have to tell them."

"Wait!" Nezha grabbed the former, "I'm fine, don't talk about it...don't make them worry."

"Did you hear what I'm talking about! Someone is trying to make you know that you are not a melon? There may be a comeback—"

"Nezha is awake?"

Taiyi's words were interrupted by a voice at the door, and the two saw that it was Hong Jin.

Hong Jin's complexion was not good, and he was slightly relieved to see Nezha woke up.

"Just wake up..."

After a pause, he still couldn't help saying to Nezha,

"Nezha, Ao Bing is dying soon."

74.

"What's wrong with Ao Bing!" Nezha turned over and got out of bed, and rushed to Hong Jin, but because his body hadn't fully recovered, he ran two steps on the ground and almost fell down.

Taiyi quickly helped him with his eyes and hands, almost wanting to rush up and cover Hong Jin's mouth.

Hong Jin's heart is also very tormented, one is his junior brother, and the other is Nezha who has just been rescued.

"After you fell down, Ao Bing was strongly stimulated, and his heart couldn't bear it... Now he is giving first aid, but the doctor said..."

Hong Jin didn't continue speaking.

Nezha immediately understood what he meant,

"Do you want to change your mind?"

Hong Jin looked at the ground and nodded.

"No, Nezha, I don't agree!" Taiyi grabbed Nezha tightly.

"I've said it before, my heart has long belonged to him. You've already counted it, I can't escape this fate, but I will fight for that one-ten-thousandth hope."

When Nezha said this, he was gentle and firm.

Hong Jin suddenly remembered the scene when he saw Nezha for the first time. At that time, he used his quick tongue and said to Nezha, "Who are you to him?"

Nezha said, "I am the rest of his life."

Only now did Hong Jin truly understand——

Nezha is the rest of Ao Bing's life, both life and death.

"The old man in Ao's family must have already prepared for the operation, so take me there." Nezha said to Hong Jin, "Don't tell Ao Bing whether he succeeds or fails."

After speaking, he turned to Taiyi again,

"If I can live, that's the best. If I can't, tell my parents... I can't save him, so I gave him my heart."

Taiyi gritted his teeth, wiped his face,

"You can't save it, you shit! The scourge will last for a thousand years, I will keep you!"

Nezha opened his arms and hugged Taiyi,

"Thank you, teacher."

……

Ao Guang stood at the door of the ward, and Nezha stood in front of him.

"Nezha..."

He wanted to say thank you, but also wanted to say sorry, but after thinking about it, he felt that no matter what he said, he was too thin.

"No need to say anything, I did it voluntarily, and you don't owe me anything." Nezha said, "If you really want to make up for something, don't hinder me after I come out alive."

Ao Guang didn't know what "obstruction" Nezha was talking about, but he didn't ask too much about the current situation, he just said,

"I promise you all."

Nezha smiled, "Then let's begin."

He nodded to Taiyi at the side, "Please." After speaking, he took the lead and walked to the cardiac operating room on the side.

Doctors and nurses pushed the operating trolley behind him, and Taiyi chased after him anxiously at the end, the magic weapon in his pocket clanging all the way.

People rushed into the operating room with a clatter.

The hallway was empty, and the overhead lights went out in silence.

.........

75.

"Drip, drip, drip"...

"woke up?"

"Wake up! Call the nurse!"

Ao Bing opened his eyes in bewilderment, the light made him a little uncomfortable, and the sound of the crowd moving around, as well as the conversation between Ao Guang and Hong Jin came from his ears.

He remembered that his heart was suppressed as if it was about to burst before he fell, and then he fell into endless darkness.

"Bingbing, are you awake?"

Hong Jin leaned his head to see his face, although he was still a little pale, but not bloodless, he was slightly relieved, as the doctor said, the operation was very successful.

However, before he could even breathe out, Ao Bing's first sentence made his heart pause for an instant:

"Brother, where is Nezha?"

The whole ward was so quiet that a needle could be heard, and Ao Guang's joy froze on his face before he even showed it.

"Where is Nezha?" Ao Bing asked.

Ao Guang's throat rolled, he tried his best to look natural, but his words were hoarse and out of tune.

"Still being treated."

"I want to see him."

"Ao Bing, you just woke up, take a rest first—"

"Father, let me see Nezha." Ao Bing's voice was still panting, gasping for breath from the wound involving his chest.

It stands to reason that a person who just woke up from the operation shouldn't be so sober, but Ao Bing's thinking was unprecedentedly clear.

Suddenly, many small details that he had ignored in the past emerged in his mind. Whether it was his father's attitude towards Nezha, or Hong Jin's eyes dodging when he met Nezha, all the clues pointed to something unusual.

Ao Guang felt guilty because of Ao Bing's eyes, and turned to Hong Jin for help.

Hong Jin was also at a loss, but fortunately the doctor came in with the nurse.Surrounding Ao Bing for inspection, Ao Guang took the opportunity to sneak out and went directly to the dean's office.

"When will Ao Bing be discharged from the hospital?"

The dean was looking at the documents without looking up,

"Your family's recuperation conditions are not worse than here, and it's no problem to be discharged from the hospital now."

"Then get discharged from the hospital as soon as possible," Ao Guang said, "before Ao Bing finds out..."

"Yes, but you have to know that there is no impenetrable wall in the world." Every word the dean said was like hitting Ao Guang's heart with a hammer, and it was so heavy that it made people panic.

Ao Guang knew that if Nezha didn't wake up, Ao Bing wouldn't feel at ease.

But people are always lucky.

"Let's leave the hospital now. As for Nezha... please do your best to save him."

……

Ao Bing was sent back to Ao's house immediately after completing the discharge procedures.

Ao Guang's attitude was really suspicious, even Ao Bing, who was as simple as he was, felt something was wrong.

"What happened to Nezha?"

"Ao Bing, be good, Nezha is still under treatment, let's go home first."

"Father, I want to tell the truth, is it Nezha—"

"Don't think too much," Ao Guang was afraid that Ao Bing would be further stimulated, so he was silent for two seconds, and he simply broke his heart. "The doctor said that he can be rescued in a maximum of two days. We will go home and wait for him."

"Really?" Ao Bing's eyes lit up.

"Really." Ao Guang patted Ao Bing's head,

"Let's go back and tidy up the house, and wait for Nezha to come home."

76.

After Ao Bing returned home, Ao Guang had already ordered three housekeepers to cook, clean and take care of the former.

Ao Bing lay on his bed for a while, but couldn't calm down, so he ran to Nezha's room next door.

The room is still the same as when he left two days ago, as if he just went to school and hasn't come home yet.

The quilt on the bed was half folded, and there were still magazines under it, and the books on the desk were scattered but clean as if they had never been used.

Ao Bing sat on Nezha's bed, and the sheets under his hands still smelled of Nezha. He buried his head in the quilt, took a few deep breaths, and felt an inexplicable pain in his chest.

Ao Bing lifted his clothes, and there was still an operation wound on his heart. The scar hadn't healed yet, and he couldn't see the specific situation under the gauze. He knew that he had undergone an operation and recovered his life from the gate of hell.

Ao Bing thought, since God gave him the right to live again, it was equivalent to giving him another chance to be with Nezha forever - so will Nezha be safe?

The more Ao Bing thought about it, the more he couldn't sit still, so he just ran out like last time.

He wanted to wait for Nezha to come back, and when he came back, he must see himself at first sight.

When walking through the corridor, I happened to meet Ao Guang, who grabbed him and said,

"Why run around, go back and rest."

"I'll wait for Nezha at the door."

Ao Guang was dumbfounded.

He knew that Ao Bing couldn't wait for Nezha, but he couldn't say anything.Just when he was in a daze, Ao Bing had passed him and walked out of the gate.

"Click" the door closed, Ao Guang looked at the door for a long time and could not breathe a sigh of relief.

Ao Bing sat in front of the doorstep, the road in front of him was empty.After sitting there for an unknown amount of time, he couldn't help but walked to the side of the road again.

He looked at the end of the road, then looked back the other way.

The sky is getting darker and darker, the air pressure is so low that the heart sinks, some water vapor evaporates in the air, and there is only a bright white line on the horizon.

It's a harbinger of rain.

Ao Bing was unwilling to go back like this. He remembered what Nezha said a long time ago:

〖The next time you can’t find me, just turn around. 〗

Ao Bing didn't know how many times he walked up and down the street that evening, and how many times he turned back, but he didn't wait for that person.

Gradually, there were raindrops, Ao Guang opened the door and urged Ao Bing to go back quickly.

"You just got out of the hospital, don't get sick in the rain!"

"It's coming—"

Ao Bing responded, and when he returned to the house, he turned his head for the last time, and the street was pitch black.

He remembered that it was the same situation last time, so will Nezha come back by himself this time?

Ao Bing's eye sockets were swollen sore——

I clearly said that as long as I turn around, it will be fine, but I still can't find you.

After returning to the house, Aobing didn't go to his own room, but went to Nezha's room again.

He sat at Nezha's desk for a while, and suddenly opened Nezha's drawer by a strange coincidence.Ao Bing has no habit of prying into other people's privacy, but at this moment, he is urged by the anxiety in his heart, wanting to know more about something.

There were nothing more than magazine novels in the drawer, as well as the peripherals of the basketball game. Ao Bing looked through it, but unexpectedly found the phone book.

He opened it and saw Taiyi's phone number on the first page.

Ao Bing froze for a moment, his breathing became rapid, he took out his mobile phone, dialed the number, his fingertips trembled slightly, as if he was about to reveal some secret.

The first time the phone rang, no one answered.

Ao Bing was even more suspicious, so he dialed again, and this time someone picked up, and it was the familiar Trump voice,

"Which one is it again! Mo Dekong, my apprentice is going to die!"

"What happened to Nezha?"

Ao Bing was startled suddenly, and blurted out asking.

Taiyi on the other end of the phone was obviously taken aback, he didn't expect it to be Ao Bing,

"Ao Bing?"

"It's me, what happened to Nezha? Why didn't you tell me? Is he... in a critical situation?"

Taiyi was guarding a heart-protecting formation, and the formation had basically stabilized at this time, so he just had time to answer Ao Bing's call.

Hearing Ao Bing's words, Taiyi fell silent. After deliberating for a long time, he finally decided to tell the truth.

This is not only fair to Nezha, but also fair to Ao Bing.

"Nezha is very dangerous... He changed your heart."

Your heart was changed by him.

These words rang in Ao Bing's ears.

"Nezha doesn't want to tell you, but as a mature and tasteful master, I must let you have the right to know." Taiyi was still nagging,

"It may be cruel for you to say this. I also know that there is never absolute reciprocity in a relationship... I don't agree with Nezha's approach. He protects you too well-I admit that I don't like you that much, but I believe you are stronger than we thought."

Ao Bing only listened to Taiyi's later words, and there was only a white light in his mind, followed by thunder.

No wonder... No wonder everyone refused to tell him.

He remembered what Nezha had said to him.

"I'm the rest of his life."

"Trust me, you'll be safe."

"Nothing can stop this liking, not gender, nor life or death."

"I believe in you, even if you are alone, there is no problem."

……

Now, he understands it all.

How sweet those words were when they expressed love, how sharp they are now.

Ao Bing bent down and knelt on the ground, and clasped the edge of the table with his hands until the joints turned white. The fine and dense stings pierced his heart like needles, but this time he would not fall down again.

Ao Bing's hands clenched the front of his chest tightly, and the heartbeat under his chest was strong and powerful, and he could feel the vitality brought by the flow of blood.

This heart is hot, but it belongs to Nezha.

Once he was contained in this heart, and now this heart grows in his body.

Ao Bing was silent for a while, then suddenly stood up and ran towards the attic.

〖Binger, this is the treasure of our Ao family. It has been passed down from generation to generation. May the line of my Ao family prosper forever. When you inherit the family business in the future, I will officially pass it on to you. 〗

〖Father, what is this? 〗

〖Dragon Saliva Pearl, here is the luck of dozens of generations of the Ao family - from now on, the Ao family will depend on you to protect it. 〗

The conversation between father and son in the past suddenly surfaced in Ao Bing's mind.

Ambergris.

Since the luck of dozens of generations of the Ao family has been gathered, it might be possible to save Nezha's life.

Ao Bing opened the door of the attic. Only the Ao family could open the place where the ambergris was stored. He put his hand on the protective cover, and after two beeps, the protective cover opened.

The dragon saliva beads I bought are warm and smooth, and they contain all the luck of the Ao family's lineage.Ao Bing took a deep breath, knelt down and kowtowed three times to the empty protective shield, carefully put the ambergris in his arms and ran downstairs.

The wind and rain were already raging outside the window, and Ao Bing predicted well that it was destined to be a night of heavy rain tonight.

Ao Guang was sitting on the sofa when he passed the living room, he called out to the former,

"Ao Bing, where are you going?"

Ao Bing pushed open the door with a "crash".

It was dark outside the door, and it was still raining heavily. Ao Bing stood in the door frame, looking like an endless abyss in front of him.

He looked back at Ao Guang.

Ao Guang felt that that glance really contained a thousand words.

Ao Bing said, "Father, I'll come back as soon as I go."

TBC.
