These were words that Su Xiaofei unconsciously maintained in his mind without knowing that he had heard them from Lu Qingfeng. That's right, he couldn't allow himself to die this early if he decided to take revenge on those who mistreated him in his previous life.
He should not risk his own life like this anymore, as the chances of dying were higher than getting the revenge he wanted.
Lu Qingfeng continued his vigilance, watching Su Xiaofei. When dawn arrived, he was still awake, his mind seemed to be somewhere else as he looked at Su Xiaofei's sleeping face.
By the time Yun Qingrong woke up from his sleep and opened his eyes, he found Lu Qingfeng standing beside the window, staring out in a daze.
"Xiao Feng?" He called out, attracting the young man's attention. "Do you not want to rest?"
Yun Qingrong glanced at the time on the night stand and saw that it was already six in the morning. He did not realize that he was too tired and overslept.
Lu Qingfeng faced her and gave her a slight smile.
"It's okay, Aunt Qing. I can't sleep anyway." He retaliated. "Xiaofei doesn't have a fever anymore, that's great."
Yun Qingrong sighed in relief. He then gently touched his daughter's forehead to make sure that Su Xiaofei did not actually catch fire.
"It's my turn to take care of her, but before that, let me make you breakfast." She said as she slipped out of bed, not wanting to wake her sick daughter.
"Are you going to sleep in the guest room or do you want to go home?" She asked.
"I want to go home to change clothes, then I'll come back and stay here for a while, Auntie, that's if you don't mind." Lu Qingfeng replied honestly.
"You really are a good boy, Xiao Feng. Your parents would be proud of you if they were alive." The old woman laughed, unaware of the darkness that appeared in Lu Qingfeng's eyes when mentioning his parents.
Lu Qingfeng did not respond to that, instead he turned his gaze out the window. Whether it was in the past or in the future, Lu Qingfeng had never mentioned anything about his dead parents, as if he intended to bring the secret to his grave.
Yun Qingrong left his daughter's room, leaving his daughter in Lu Qingfeng's care. He went to his own room to take a bath and found Aunt Liu downstairs, already preparing breakfast for their guests.
"Miss, how's Miss Feifei?" He asked Yun Qingrong after serving his master a freshly brewed cup of coffee.
"He's better now." Yun Qingrong replied, rubbing his temples as he realized that the events over the past few days were starting to affect his health.
"Aunt Liu, I really don't know why all this happened to my Feifei. He just got out of the hospital, and now he's hurt. I feel like heaven reminds me to prioritize my daughter over work."
Aunt Liu gave her a smile and gently persuaded her master to calm down.
"It's normal for you to worry, ma'am. He's your son anyway. I also think that Miss Feifei is more understanding these days and does not directly cause trouble just to get your attention."
"really. Now that you mention it, Aunt Liu. I also felt my Feifei suddenly grow up. A little more and I'm afraid she doesn't need her mother anymore in her life."
"Aunt Qing shouldn't have spoken like that. Feifei would be sad if he knew what you were thinking right now."
The two old ladies were slightly surprised as Xi Qian spoke. They didn't even realize he was there. Xi Qian who had just descended, then joined Yun Qingrong at the table.
"Sorry, Aunt Qing. I didn't mean to eavesdrop on your conversation." The young woman apologized as soon as she realized her mistake. It was inappropriate for him to interrupt when the elders were talking.
"It's okay, Qian. I'm just worried about Feifei, that's all." Yun Qingrong patted Xi Qian's hand convincingly.
"Feifei also felt the same way, Auntie. Do you know why we ended up in that pharmacy yesterday, Auntie? It's because Feifei wants to buy you a tonic. She must have felt that you were stressed and exhausted lately, which made her worry about your health. It's just that we didn't expect anyone to be eyeing the old man's life.." His words came to a halt, recalling the scene clearly in his mind.
Xi Qian couldn't sleep enough last night because of this. He suddenly realized that no matter how hard he tried to pretend that everything would be fine, he did not have the strength to help his best friend at the time when Su Xiaofei needed help the most.
"I can't let this happen again." He thinks. He had to find a way to help Su Xiaofei in the future, after all the latter things were done for her sake so far.
It didn't take long for Lu Qingfeng to join them for breakfast. He looked at Xi Qian for a moment, pondering whether he should search for some information himself as he was the only witness accessible from yesterday's events, but seeing his confused expression, he said, he was reminded of Su Xiaofei's request that he treat Xi Qian better.
Lu Qingfeng was not sure why Su Xiaofei had made such a request. She must have known that she and Xi Qian did not get along very well for some reason, and that reason was only known to the two of them.
However, none of them voiced the reason for their vexation towards each other and could only avoid looking at each other. If not for Su Xiaofei, Lu Qingfeng would have ignored Xi Qian altogether.
"En.." Since they were in front of Yun Qingrong, Xi Qian did not dare to argue with him.
"Then allow me to send you home. I'm going home to change my clothes anyway." Lu Qingfeng said, not giving Xi Qian a chance to reject him.
It would be best if Su Xiaofei heard that he was trying his best to get along with Xi Qian, albeit reluctantly.
Xi Qian bit his inner cheek, his hands tightened on his chopsticks. This young man was truly arrogant and arrogant. As for why Su Xiaofei let the two-faced person by his side, Xi Qian had no idea.
As she met Lu Qingfeng when Su Xiaofei first introduced her to him, Xi Qian knew that she was bad news. Something in the way Lu Qingfeng looked at his best friend made Xi Qian wary of him, and the more he interacted with this young man, the more he was sure he was harboring thoughts about Su Xiaofei.
"Please, Xiao Feng is on his way home, take Qian'er to his house so I don't have to worry about it." Yun Qingrong smiled at the young man, who had only sealed Xi Qian's fate that morning. How could he refuse when Yun Qinrong said it like that?
"Thank you, Lu Qingfeng." He smiled awkwardly, but in his mind, he wondered what this arrogant man was doing by offering him a ride this time.
Does he need anything from her? He wonders. He did not plan on interrogating her for the person responsible for Su Xiaofei's injuries, right?
Even if he witnessed the scene himself, he did not know why Su Xiaofei ended up getting injured yesterday. He wanted to believe that it was just an accident, or misfortune on Su Xiaofei's side for being in the same place as the old man.
He glanced at Lu Qingfeng's face, which was now ignoring him.
Of course, Xi Qian also realized why Lu Qingfeng disliked him, but the feeling was mutual benefit between them. He couldn't stand it at all!
This young man played well when he faced Su Xiaofei, but once he was out of sight, Lu Qingfeng's attitude was really irritating and disgusting. Xi Qian had no doubt that in the future, he would definitely become a tyrant, getting whatever he wanted regardless of what damage he would inflict on others.
Surprisingly, Xi Qian realized Lu Qingfeng's obsession with his best friend quite quickly, but it seemed that Su Xiaofei was unaware of it. Su Xiaofei did not even realize that Lu Qingfeng was trying hard to enter deep under his skin, causing him to rely more and more on him every day.
Xi Qian was afraid that Lu Qingfeng's obsession towards Su Xiaofei would harm his best friend in the future. Unfortunately, with Su Xiaofei infatuated with Mo Yuchen, this little tyrant could not draw Su Xiaofei's attention to himself.
However, now that Su Xiaofei had finally voiced his intention to sever his relationship with Mo Yuchen, Xi Qian was afraid that Lu Qingfeng would not waste time and would become more proactive in pursuing his best friend.
Lu Qingfeng was only fifteen years old now, but in a few years, the age difference between him and Su Xiaofei would be irrelevant, and he would force Su Xiaofei to see him as a male, she said, and it wasn't just the childhood friends he treated like brothers.
As soon as they finished breakfast, Xi Qian picked up her things from the guest room she had occupied last night before joining Lu Qingfeng in the back seat of her car.
"Originally, I only agreed to your offer because Aunt Qing was worried." Xi Qian sneered, wanting to make it clear that he did not need Lu Qingfeng's help at all.
"Sorry to disappoint you, Miss Xi, but I didn't offer you a ride either because of my good intentions. If Xiaofei doesn't force me to make an appointment, I won't even bother wasting my time with you.” Lu Qingfeng said in a similarly disgusted tone.
Xi Qian was surprised by Lu Qingfeng's reply. What kind of request did Feifei make? Knowing Lu Qingfeng, this little tyrant, he would not be forced to do anything he did not like, unless Su Xiaofei asked for it.
Xi Qian narrowed his eyes dangerously. Why did he feel this was not the last time Lu Qingfeng interfered in his life?
As if knowing what he thought of him, Lu Qingfeng sneered. To think that he would be forced to guard this girl.. Did Su Xiaofei believe that he would not back down from his words? If he had a choice, he simply did not want to get involved with this girl.
The two fell silent, each immersed in their own thoughts. However, what the two of them knew was that they should at least be polite to each other in front of Su Xiaofei. The last thing the two of them wanted was for Su Xiaofei to be angry at them.
Lu Qingfeng dropped Xi Qian on his house, which was located in the backward part of Qiying City, which was completely opposite to where Su Xiaofei and Lu Qingfeng lived.
Xi Qian gently thanked him again and directly turned his back on him, not wanting to be in his company for longer than needed. Whatever Lu Qingfeng was planning right now, he had to make sure that Su Xiaofei would not just trust his words.
Meanwhile, Lu Qingfeng closed his eyes and ordered his driver to take him home, wanting to immediately return to the Su Residence. With the thought of Su Xiaofei being injured, Lu Qingfeng could not calm his nerves, wanting to be by his side once he woke up like he promised.
As for those responsible for his current state .. Lu Qingfeng's aura became threatening. They had to pray that he did not know who and where they were, because this little tyrant would not let them get away easily for hurting Su Xiaofei.
