Chapter 51 Li Lianhua is Jealous
Seeing that Li Lianhua was glaring at him, Fang Duobing was not annoyed. Instead, he curiously stepped forward and circled around Wu You.
"Miss Wu, you actually showed up outside. What is the reason for this, and why did you come back? Why didn't you hurry outside to find someone to help open the stone chamber? Or do you have a way to take me and Li Lianhua out together?"
Meeting that gossipy, curious, and hopeful gaze, Wu You couldn't resist and looked away: "Would you believe me if I said I woke up outside? I couldn't find the mechanism outside, so I was sent back."
"You can't fool children like that. Do you think I'd believe you?" Fang Duobing shook his head, not believing him at all.
Is it because her IQ has increased, or is Wu You's persuasive skills ineffective? Isn't it true that Li Lianhua can fool anyone?
Wu You turned to look at Li Lianhua and asked, "Do you want to know too?"
Li Lianhua nodded: "I also want to know, and I'm very curious, but if you don't want to say, I won't press you. I'll listen when you want to talk about it."
Upon hearing this, Wu You smiled broadly and said, "Okay."
Fang Duobing was still hoping to hear the secret behind this, but after hearing only one "good," there was no more to it. He was so anxious that he scratched his head, but he didn't dare to ask again.
Waiting any longer isn't a solution, Wu You thought, his mind racing, trying to figure out how to get out. He wanted to find someone, but in this desolate wilderness, who was there to look for? He didn't even know who to turn to.
What should he do? Looking at Li Lianhua's hand gripping his wrist tightly, he wondered if he could bring her inside. He hadn't tried since failing to get in at the East China Sea coast last time.
I've come here again. Has anything changed? Has it changed in a way that can draw others in?
Not only is there no internet this time, but they've also changed the way they contact their brother?
Without making a sound, Wu You subtly shifted his mind and found himself back in familiar surroundings. Li Lianhua, who was holding Wu You's wrist, was thus brought in.
Wu You was overjoyed, as there might be a lot of room for maneuver here in the future.
Li Lianhua felt a sudden sway and found herself in an unfamiliar environment. She immediately became alert. Seeing that Wu You next to her did not react, she guessed that this should be a place she was familiar with.
Looking around, he found the place completely unfamiliar, with no one recognizing the furniture. However, he did spot a few familiar appliances, indicating that it was indeed a place Wu You knew well.
Wu You pushed Li Lianhua to sit on the sofa and said, "This is my home. You sit here for a while. I'll go and bring Fang Duobing in. He must be terrified if he's left alone in here."
Wu You was right. Fang Duobing watched as the two people suddenly disappeared before his eyes, leaving him alone. He lunged forward in terror, crying out in despair, "Li Lianhua, Miss Wu, where are you going? Don't leave me here alone... Ah!"
Li Lianhua grabbed Wu You's hand, preventing her from leaving.
"You disappeared before, and this is where you came from?"
Wu You nodded.
"Is this your home?"
Wu You nodded again.
Did you bring any people with you?
Wu You shook his head and added, "You're the first one. We couldn't bring them in before, so we haven't tried since."
"Who did you plan to bring before?" Li Lianhua frowned.
Faced with Li Lianhua's persistent questioning, Wu You did not intend to answer, but simply said, "Anyway, it wasn't you."
Wu You felt that he wasn't wrong either, because he wasn't called Li Lianhua back then.
Seeing that Wu You wasn't going to say anything, Li Lianhua felt a little down for a moment, but she didn't know where this feeling came from.
With a quick glance, he pulled out a well-protected purse from his pocket, took out a small box from it, silently glanced at Wu You beside him, opened the box, and found a letter inside.
The letter's cover was yellowed, indicating it was quite old. The folded envelope had the words "Li Lianhua" written on it.
Wu You was initially puzzled by Li Lianhua's actions, wondering what he was up to, until he saw the words on the envelope and remembered that it was a letter he had written to Li Lianhua.
For a moment, Wu You felt a sense of bewilderment. She hadn't expected Li Lianhua to have kept the letter until now, let alone carry it with her. Her voice trembled, and she couldn't speak: "Li Lianhua, you..."
Li Lianhua's cool voice came through: "Didn't someone say that they would tell me everything when we met again? Now they've gone back on their word and won't tell me who it was. I had no choice but to produce physical evidence so that she wouldn't have a chance to deny it."
Upon hearing this, Wu You's mood instantly returned to normal, and he almost laughed. He hadn't expected that Li Lianhua's series of actions were all for this.
"Who went back on their word? I'm telling you. Besides, you even know that person." Wu You deliberately dragged out her words, "That person is Li..."
"Who? And surnamed Li? I know someone..." Li Lianhua urged.
“Of course it’s Li Xiangyi.” Wu You covered her mouth and chuckled.
"Oh, it's Li Xiangyi." Wait, I'm Li Xiangyi, and Li Xiangyi is me! I don't remember," Li Lianhua tried hard to recall.
Seeing that Li Lianhua couldn't remember, Wu You continued, "It's Li Xiangyi. The first time I saw him, he was lying on the beach covered in blood, his life hanging in the balance. I was thinking of bringing him in to recover, but unfortunately, I couldn't."
Li Lianhua remembered that it was during the East China Sea battle ten years ago. She had sunk to the bottom of the sea and was carried by the waves to the beach, where Wu You met her, treated her wounds, and even brought her a blanket and food.
If I had been able to come in then, I would probably have woken up in this room.
"He didn't eat the things left for him, and I don't know how he is now. It's a pity that I've never seen him again. I hope he can stay away from strife and live a peaceful and happy life."
Seeing Wu You describe himself as if he were a third person, Li Lianhua found it somewhat amusing: "Maybe he's doing well now, and if you want to see him, he might be willing to come see you."
Wu You nodded: "If Li Xiangyi were to come see me, I would be very excited. However, he is probably no longer the number one in the world, Li Xiangyi."
Li Lianhua's heart skipped a beat: "What, you don't want to see Li Xiangyi, or do you only like his status as the number one in the world?"
“Of course not.” Wu You quickly denied, “I like Li Xiangyi, and it has nothing to do with his identity. The title of number one in the world just happens to be on him. If it were someone else, I wouldn’t like being number one in the world.”
Hearing Wu You's affection for Li Xiangyi, Li Lianhua felt a mix of joy and jealousy. Although Li Xiangyi was a name she used to use, that was in the past, and she had never heard Wu You say that she liked Li Lianhua.
What is Li Xiangyi to you?
"To me, he is like a celestial being, high above and untouched by the dust of the world. I do not want anyone to pull him down from his pedestal and taint him with the dust, not even myself."
"According to your logic, Li Xiangyi should always be high above everyone else and never be an ordinary person?" Li Lianhua strongly disagreed with Wu You's statement.
"Whether he is on a pedestal or in the mortal world is his own decision, not mine. I will respect any choice he makes for himself. But what I don't want to see is someone pulling him down, or him coming down for someone else."
"Of course, he may not even know who I am, but that doesn't matter. My opinion doesn't matter either. The most important thing is that he's happy."
"You..." Li Lianhua wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Wu You.

Fang Duobing: Have you two finished talking? Do you still remember that there is a Fang Duobing in this dark secret room?
Li Lianhua: No rush, let's persevere a little longer.
Wu You: I forgot for a moment.
