Death Flute
Luo Ting Ting's Wedding News
“True to my guess,” muttered Chien Wan after Fei Yu had finished the story. “The six people who attacked you were the Six Khitan Brothers. And if they attack you, it must have something to do with Cheng Sam.”
“It was especially about the intention to harm you, Young Master. Who's the one who's wanted to do you the most harm this whole time? Cheng Sam!” said A Nan Fiery.
“Where are Black Bats now?” ask Chien Wan.
“I asked for his help investigating them. If anyone is able to follow others without being caught, it is the Black Bat,” said Fei Yu.
“So you said, Black Bats were once your teacher and Ping-er? So you and Ping-er are actually still practically brothers?” kui Fang asked in admiration. “Just right science lightens Ping-er's body so great.”
Fei Yu nodded. “Me and Ouwyang Ping once complained of lightening the body. You could say we are balanced.”
Chien Wan was silent. Various thoughts raged in his head. He was somewhat surprised by the notification of the Black Bats through the story of Fei Yu earlier, that in the middle of the group there was a woman with a slightly fat stomach— which must have been due to pregnancy. Who is this pregnant woman? Could it be that the woman had something to do with them?
As everyone was thinking about the matter, Fei Yu thought of something else entirely. He gulped a few times before finally deciding to ask. “Eng... Chien Wan,” call him.
“Ya?”
Fei Yu's face frowned while she was misbehaving. “Mm.. earlier said you guys from Wisma Bambu. How's Ting Ting doing? Is she okay?”
That question made Chien Wan astonished. He was a bit confused as to how to answer it. Being said to be fine it felt strange as it was obvious Ting Ting was in a pregnant state out of wedlock. Yet....
“Yes, she's fine. She is getting married to Meng Huan.”
Brang!
Fei Yu's head was throbbing. Chien Wan's slow words sounded like a thunderbolt. His face was like it had just been slapped, it was so hot! His heart seemed to stop. And suddenly, blood flow like it was sucked from a vein in his face. Now his face is pale.
Fei Yu's reaction surprised Chien Wan, but it was not the case with A Nan and Kui Fang who had expected it. Chien Wan turned her head when Kui Fang's hand touched her. He was stunned to see the sadness on Kui Fang's face. Instantly he understood.
“Young Master..,” call A Nan slowly.
Chien Wan touched Fei Yu's shoulder. “I'm sorry.”
Fei Yu remained motionless. His mind is still spinning. Be married? Ting Ting is getting married? With Chi Meng Huan? Why did Ting Ting have to be someone else's wife? He has gone to great lengths to find the perpetrator of the crime. Not just for the sake of rediscovering his family heirloom. That's not the important thing. This was all done for Ting Ting's sake. Why is it like this now?
Feelings raging. Slowly his heart rate returned and became more and more pertinent as time passed. As time passed, he felt pain. His heart was like being sliced. So pain! Ting Ting meant a lot to her. Ting Ting was her first love. It was only with Ting Ting that he felt the vibe of love. She had always dreamed of Ting Ting, always hoping that one day Ting Ting would reciprocate her feelings. That one day Ting Ting will be hers.
“Sister Chang!” Kui Fang called out in a rather loud voice.
Fei Yu flinched. His eyes caught the faces of his best friend. He looked at Chien Wan with sadness. She knew Ting Ting liked Chien Wan. If Ting Ting was to marry Chien Wan, maybe he wouldn't be this sad. However, she likes Chien Wan, and she knows Ting Ting will be happy with Chien Wan. But Chi Meng Huan? Fei Yu never liked him! So why go with Chi Meng Huan?
“Fei Yu.” Chien Wan shook her head sadly.
“When is the wedding taking place?” ask Fei Yu slowly. His tone contained sadness and suffering, but it was also implied by a heartwarming resignation.
“Next week.”
“Young Master!” a Nan's protest almost cried. “You must not be stupid!”
Fei Yu shook his head. “I'm not stupid, A Nan. I just want to see her wedding. I wonder if she is happy or not.” Then he laughed wailing. “Ah. Chi Meng Huan is a good person, isn't she? Unlike me...”
A Nan biting her lips. During his life, only this time did he see Fei Yu like this. The young man looked helpless and helpless. The loser. A Nan had always seen her young master as a winner, a confident person, and was confident of getting anything she wanted. Now that Fei Yu loved and wanted someone so much, she was helpless.
“You sure you want to go there, Brother Chang?” ask Kui Fang slowly. Inwardly he agreed with A Nan. Why watch a wedding that will make your heart languish?
Fei Yu nodded.
“Alright,” nod Chien Wan. “Tomorrow we leave. That way we can arrive on time.”
“Mr Ouwyang!” A Nan disagreed.
“A Nan, don't argue anymore!” sela Fei Yu's. “I'm fine.” He smiles. But even though he was smiling, his eyes revealed heartbreak. This made those who saw him even more sad.
***
The next day, the four of them immediately left for the Bamboo House.
This time, Chien Wan was able to return there without any burden in her heart. His personal problems have been solved thanks to the help of his friends, including Fei Yu. Now all he had in his heart was a feeling of pity towards Fei Yu. How much he wanted to help her, but how?
Fei Yu looked pale and listless. He could not sleep last night. He could not close his eyes for a moment. Because every time she closed her eyes, Ting Ting's face was always overshadowed.
Until now, he still regrets himself. Why did she first make a wrong impression on Ting Ting, making Ting Ting unable to sympathize with her? Not once did he behave sweetly towards Ting Ting, no matter how much he wanted to. No wonder Ting Ting never considered himself a life companion.
Though his love is not inferior to Meng Huan! Although Ting Ting had been stained and was pregnant with an illegitimate child, Fei Yu did not mind him at all. Fei Yu would accept the girl as she was because it was not her fault. He wouldn't mind accepting Ting Ting's child either. Even he would definitely love the child, because the child was part of the Ting Ting he loved.
Actually why did he come to the Bamboo House? He is really stupid! Coming there was the same as intentionally hurting himself.
Yet more than anything else, he wanted to see Ting Ting. She wanted to see with her own eyes if Ting Ting was okay. Ting Ting was happy or not. Meng Huan treated him well or not. Fei Yu should know about it!
Chien Wan placed her hand on Fei Yu's shoulder.
“You're really sure you want to go?”
Fei Yu nodded.
“Come we go.”
The four of them immediately walked towards the Bamboo Guesthouse. The journey to the place can be taken within a few days via ordinary roads. It would be even faster if they traveled without having to find lodging, and slept on the road. And that's what they did, considering the wedding was just a few days away.
Fei Yu wanted to get there immediately. He wanted to see the wedding for himself.
