Flying Dust [Fei Chen]

Chapter 61 Part 2

Mo Fei Chen tugged at him, “Lu Dage, where are you going?”

“I’m going to ask for another room, so you can rest well.” Lu Qingmo touched his head before he walked out. He closed the door behind him and leaned back against the wall as his tears slid down from his cheeks.

“What should I do? Fei Chen…”

While on the other side, Mo Fei Chen’s eyes were wide open. He knew that he did not hate Lu Qingmo nor did he bear any grudge towards him, only that something was different.

The drug that Qu Xiruo had put on was not the reason at all, but it was just an excuse for Mo Fei Chen to respond to Lu Qing Mo.

Mo Fei Chen blinked his eyes and smiled bitterly, “So I, Mo Fei Chen, is a person who can’t control himself ah.”

The next day, Lu Qingmo knocked on Mo Fei Chen’s room door and accompanied him to eat breakfast downstairs. 

After all, he was a martial arts practitioner, and Lu Qingmo had only done it once, Mo Fei Chen already felt much better.

When we went downstairs, we saw Qu Xiruo sitting there with her head bowed. There was plain white porridge, steamed buns and a few small plates of pickles in front of her.

Mo Fei Chen sat down in front of her and pushed the pickled radish in soy sauce toward her, “Miss Qu, since you’ve been sitting here for so long, then why won’t you eat?”

Lu Qingmo remained silent to her as before, Mo Fei Chen finally realized that if he really wanted someone to completely give up, he had to do like what Lu Qing Mo did, and only then he was able to cut it clear. So whether it was Jun Wushuang or Lu Qingmo, they had done nothing wrong, but he, Mo Fei Chen, who was ‘unable to hold his heart’ (restrain oneself). 

Qu Xiruo took a mouthful of porridge and seemed to want to say something. It was probably something like sorry.

“Miss Qu, ‘a forcibly picked melon is not sweet1[强扭的瓜不甜: lit. if you have to use force to break a melon off the vine, it won’t taste sweet (because it’s only when the melon is ripe that it can be removed with just a slight twist) (idiom) or in other words, an (awkward) arrangement without the consent of the parties concerned,fig. if sth is not meant to be, it’s no use trying to force it to happen. ]‘, I think you know that very well in your heart.” Mo Fei Chen’s tone was very soft.

“I know, this time I will really go back.”

“Mo Shi Di? Is it really you?” Suddenly someone tapped Mo Fei Chen on the shoulder and as soon as he looked back he saw Li Du.

“Li Shi Xiong! It’s really you! Why are you here?”

“I am the one who should be asking you, where have you been? He Yunfeng Shi Zu has travelled all over to find you, and he even went to Xi Yu!”

“It’s hard to explain in a few words, it’s a long story! Now, I am going to Xi Yu to look for He Yunfeng.”

Li Du saw Lu Qingmo sitting upright at one side and hurriedly saluted, “Lu Da Xia…”

“No need to be polite, shouldn’t Li Shao Xia go to Yu Lin Sect to participate in the martial arts competition for marriage? How come you are here?”

“Ei, I met a Shi Jie from the Lianxia Cave on the way here and she said that her Shi Mei had been taken away by Ye Su so she asked me to help her to find her Shi Mei. I thought that although I was not Ye Su’s opponent, I could not ignore the fact that people’s lives were at stake, so I searched for information about Ye Su and came to this town.”

“…It’s like that.” Mo Fei Chen smiled, “Li Shi Xiong, you don’t need to worry anymore. That Shi Mei you are looking for from Lianxia Cave has already been cured from the Gu Worm and is quietly recuperating at Yu Lin Sect.”

“Really? That would be great.” Although Li Du did not have the ease and natural poise of Lu Qingmo or the delicate beauty type of Mo Fei Chen, he was a dashing and bold young man, “Then if you go to Xi Yu to look for Shi Zu, do you want me to go with you?”

Lu Qingmo’s fingers trembled, if Mo Fei Chen said, ‘Yes.’, then it was time for him to leave.
