Chapter 522: You Have to Remember Me!
So it was in such a cold, hungry, hopeless, and fearful moment that he met Su Yu.
He rescued him, who was hanging in mid-air off a cliff, and gave him something to eat.
Lan Ling felt he had encountered a god.
He was only nine years old that year, and he felt that the person he admired most in his life was Su Yu.
From then on, he pestered, caused all sorts of trouble, and followed him like a little shadow, finally wearing him down until he agreed to let him stay by his side.
Except for the days he had to go back and follow his master for cultivation, he spent most of his time at the Spirit Flame Sect, freeloading off Su Yu. Su Yu was always aloof with others, but with him, he was a bit more lenient, so he always felt particularly honored and proud.
He wreaked havoc recklessly, knowing that his big brother had his back, allowing him to act carefree.
He believed Su Yu was the best brother in the world; he was an orphan, and besides his master, Su Yu was his closest relative.
He never thought that after five years of separation, he would see Su Yu in such a state.
He seemed unchanged, still breathtakingly beautiful, but colder and lonelier than before, like a soulless figure that made one’s heart ache and tears well up.
He really wanted to rush up and ask him, do you really not remember us?
But he knew he couldn’t.
Just like how Han Jing clearly wanted to approach him, but ultimately turned away, he too knew he couldn’t go over, couldn’t question him about anything.
It wasn’t his fault; he had never done anything wrong. It was fate that liked to play tricks.
He just felt sorry for his current aloof appearance, yet he was powerless.
Over the years, he had matured a lot, understanding that many things couldn’t be approached impulsively. Saying anything to him now would be of no use, only adding to the troubles.
He doesn’t remember, and he can’t even tell him why he doesn’t remember.
Those ten Soul Stabilizing Needles, if he knew about them, it would be such a painful thing.
So he couldn’t say anything, nor could he be of any help.
Despite calling him big brother for so many years, having acted lawlessly under his protection for so many years, at this moment, he couldn’t help him at all.
Lan Ling looked at that solitary figure and ultimately couldn’t hold back, he quickly walked over, came to his side, suddenly grinned, revealing a mouth full of white teeth, and said to him, "Hi, I’m Lan Ling, you have to remember me!"
He knew he must look particularly silly, but he really couldn’t bear to see him so silent and lifeless.
Originally, he thought Su Yu wouldn’t give him any response, but unexpectedly, he actually turned around, looked at him for a moment, and then slightly nodded, his voice as clear as before: "Mm, I remember."
Lan Ling suddenly couldn’t smile anymore.
It’s said that men don’t easily cry, but he felt that if he stayed any longer, he would surely cry. Sometimes, what truly tortures you isn’t the malicious words spoken, but precisely when nothing can be said, when the grief is so intense you can’t utter a word, that’s the most heart-wrenching.
Lan Ling tried hard to magnify his smile, make it even bigger, and with a slightly trembling voice, said, "Alright then, see you next time!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he left like the wind, also fearing that if he stayed a second longer, he would break down.
Only Ling Xiang remained there, silently watching Su Yu for a long time.
