Extra #2
Shen Yuan did not return to the suburban villa where he lived before he was hospitalized; instead, he returned to his large apartment in the city center.
The question is, in case his condition relapses or something else happens, it's convenient to take him back to the hospital on the spot...
From the 95th floor, one can overlook a magnificent river view during the day and a dazzling display of lights at night.
That evening, the Shen family home was brightly lit. A table full of dishes was delivered from the hotel, and the family gathered together to celebrate the discharge of their third son from the hospital.
While Shen Yuan was genuinely happy, he sighed softly to himself.
He didn't know how to tell his family. He might need to sleep again in a few days. He had no idea how anxious Luo Binghe was right now.
Shen Yuan was momentarily distracted, and his mother asked, "What's wrong, Third Brother? Are you still feeling unwell?"
Shen Yuan chuckled and said, "No, I'm fine, just a little stuffed."
Just then, the doorbell rang.
At that moment, Shen Yuan felt a stirring in his heart. He didn't know why, but he had a very strange premonition. Shen Tang took the initiative to run to open the door, and returned shortly after.
She said to Shen Yuan in surprise, "A friend of yours has come to see you..."
A friend?
Shen Yuan's friends are all acquainted; his sister shouldn't be that surprised. It's hard to imagine her making that expression.
Shen Yuan walked towards the door. He walked faster and faster, almost tripping at the back. Fortunately, a hand caught him in time.
He looked up and was greeted by an incomparably handsome face.
Luo Binghe looked down at him, her eyes filled with gradually fading anxiety and slowly overflowing joy.
Shen Yuan almost stopped breathing. He looked at Luo Binghe, then at his family, several things clashing in his mind.
One thing is, I need to comfort Luo Binghe; he's absolutely frantic! Another thing is, how should I introduce Luo Binghe to my family?
There was one more crucial matter that immediately set off alarm bells in his mind.
Because he remembered: his current appearance was the original one from the real world.
He's changed his appearance; Luo Binghe might not even recognize him!
However, he soon realized that he had miscalculated.
Because Luo Binghe was staring intently at him. That look was absolutely the same look Luo Binghe used to give him.
Without uttering a single word, Shen Yuan knew that he had definitely recognized him.
The group was caught in an awkward silence. Apart from Luo Binghe staring intently at Shen Yuan, the others looked at each other, wondering why the atmosphere had suddenly become so serious.
Shen Yuan decisively said, "Wait a moment, let me handle this!"
He pulled Luo Binghe into his room as if he were riding on wheels of fire.
"Master."
Luo Binghe breathed a sigh of relief and said in a low voice, "I knew it was Master."
Shen Yuan asked, "How did you find your way here?"
Luo Binghe said, "Master suddenly disappeared for several days. Mo Bei came to me and said that the Peak Master of Anding Peak was in the same situation. It took us some time and some methods, several months, to trace the location of their souls through the bodies of Master and Peak Master of Anding Peak."
He spoke of it casually, and now he seems quite calm.
But Shenyuan knew that the "time period" and "some methods" he mentioned must be extremely difficult.
"The Northern Desert Lord has arrived too?"
"They've arrived. They've gone to find the Peak Master of Anding Peak."
—————I hope the teacher doesn't get so scared that he spills his instant noodles and gets electrocuted again.
"Then will you be able to go back?"
If he and Shang Qinghua go back, and Luo Binghe and Mo Beijun can't go back, then there will be big trouble!
Luo Binghe calmly replied, "Master, there's no need to worry. Your soul is now bound to yours. Once your soul returns to its place, I will also return. Wherever you are, that's where I will be."
Shen Yuan finally breathed a sigh of relief. Thankfully, it wouldn't turn into a tragedy of eternal separation...
But why? Why can the world in the book intersect with the modern world?
He couldn't figure it out for the moment, so he decided to deal with the immediate situation first. Shen Yuan asked, "How did you recognize...you?"
He quickly regained his rhythm of life upon returning to the modern world, and now, suddenly being called a "teacher," he feels somewhat ashamed...
Luo Binghe smiled.
He said, "I just know. Even if Master has changed his appearance, I can tell at a glance."
Shen Yuan took a deep breath and began to think about how to explain the situation to Luo Binghe.
Perhaps it was because he had subconsciously anticipated that such a day might come, and it only took a few seconds.
Shen Yuan calmly said, "Hyoga, you may have some questions."
However, Luo Binghe was more composed than him.
He tilted his head slightly and asked curiously, "Master, what is there to doubt?"
Shen Yuan said, "Don't you have any doubts at all? For example, why am I here? Why am I..."
Like this?"
Luo Binghe seemed to find his words more puzzling.
He said, "Is there any question about that? Why is Master here? Isn't it because this is..."
Was this the world Master originally belonged to?
"As for why Master is like this, isn't it simply because this is Master's original form?"
Shen Yuan was shocked.
A crack appeared in his composed demeanor: "You...you always knew?"
Luo Binghe smiled and said, "Of course."
It turns out that Luo Binghe already knew he wasn't from that world, and that he was someone else!
Shen Yuan still found it unbelievable: "When...when did you find out?"
Luo Binghe said, "Very early."
"How early is 'very early'?"
Luo Binghe said slowly and deliberately, "It was officially confirmed after the Demon Clan's first siege of Cangqiong Mountain, when my master sent me to fight against Elder Tianchui."
Luo Binghe is extremely intelligent.
He sent Luo Binghe to fight Elder Tianchui? That was so long ago! If Luo Binghe hadn't mentioned it, he wouldn't have even remembered Elder Tianchui's name. How old was Luo Binghe then? Only about fourteen, right?
He was so young yet he could notice the clues...
Luo Binghe continued, "But the suspicion began with the Shuanghu City incident. The descent of Master's soul into the world should be…"
Before that, right?
The correct time range was perfectly selected!
But Shen Yuan didn't expect that Luo Binghe could push out far more than that.
Luo Binghe stared intently at him and said, "After the Shuanghu City incident, I clarified the sequence of events and worked backward to find..."
The current master had actually been acting strangely for some time.
"Not long ago, Master had a high fever on Qingjing Peak, but after the fever subsided, everything was different."
"If Master asks what the difference is, the initial whipping and punishment followed by the offering of medicine to resolve the situation seems unreasonable, doesn't it?"
He looked at Shen Yuan with a questioning and probing gaze, as if asking him, "Am I right?"
After a long pause, Shen Yuan took a light breath and said, "Your guess is quite correct. Your teacher... I did indeed arrive at that time."
Luo Binghe smiled brightly, as if he had finally untied a knot in his heart that had been tied for many years.
He sighed, "Finally, I can confirm it with my master in person. Indeed, that was my first meeting with my master."
After a moment of silence, Shen Zhen said, "Since you knew about this all along, why did you never mention it?"
Luo Binghe asked curiously, "Why bring up such an unimportant matter? Since you won't tell me, doesn't that prove that Master doesn't want to talk about it? If Master doesn't want to talk about it, why should I bring it up and upset Master?"
Shen Yuan asked with difficulty, "Isn't this important?"
Luo Binghe calmly replied, "Of course. The most important thing is that Master has arrived, not where Master came from, isn't it?"
Shen Yuan couldn't hold back any longer: "But, don't you ever doubt that I'm not your master...?"
Luo Binghe laughed. He said softly, "What are you saying, Master? You know better than anyone. I only have one Master. Who else could it be but you? Who raised me? Who taught me with such care? Does Master think that I am such a confused and ignorant creature?"
No, that's not it. It's just that I didn't expect you to have guessed it so early, and to have digested it so well. He underestimated Luo Binghe; he thought he'd need at least some psychological counseling…
Shen Yuan's previously turbulent state of mind gradually calmed down, leaving only the relief of "settling a major matter".
At that moment, he noticed that Luo Binghe was staring intently at him.
That gaze was so intense that it put immense pressure on Shen Yuan, who felt he couldn't bear to be stared at like that any longer.
Although he had often been stared at for his face since childhood, he did it so openly and confidently.
Luo Binghe is the first!
He coughed lightly and said, "We can't go on like this. Let me take you out to meet my family."
Upon hearing this, Luo Binghe's eyes lit up, and he said, "Great!"
Shen Yuan felt that he suddenly looked radiant and was speechless.
Shen Yuan changed Luo Binghe into one of his old clothes.
As soon as the two stepped outside, Shen Di heard his mother say, "It's normal for young people to do this nowadays, it's very popular. I know it's called cosplay. Why are you looking at people with such a strange expression? Don't be so old-fashioned!"
His dad, while making tea, said, "How am I old-fashioned? I know about this PLAY too. I just think he PLAYs well, what's wrong with me taking a second look?"
His sister glanced at them while playing her game and said, "Stop arguing, we're done playing and we're out."
The three of them looked over at the same time.
Shen Yuan said, "Are there any extra bowls and chopsticks? I'd like to get some more tableware."
His mother pointed it out to him, and Shen Tan went over to get a bowl and filled it with rice. His father asked, "Third son, is that your friend?"
He said, "No. My disciple is named Luo Binghe."
Luo Binghe followed the script Shen Yuan had taught him and performed steadily. However, for some reason, he also took it upon himself to...
With a blush creeping up her cheeks, she said, "Hello, Uncle and Aunt."
His mother greeted him warmly, "Oh, hello, hello, it's Xiao Luo. Come, have a seat."
His sister asked in surprise, "Your apprentice? Where did you get an apprentice? What are you teaching him? Are you sure he's not your junior?"
Shen Yan said without changing her expression, "I taught him how to play games. A cultivation, monster-slaying, and hack-and-slashing game. I'm currently the second-in-command of the most righteous guild in the world, and I often have to mentor newbies. There's an offline event these days, and Binghe..."
"He's cosplaying as the game's boss, and he came over today to show me his costume. He also has a performance to do, and I need to help him rehearse, so he's staying with me for the next few days."
His mother smiled and said, "Oh, I see. Little Ge got a good price on PLAY. Keep up the good work, show!"
Shen Gou struggled to suppress his laughter, saying, "He is very handsome, otherwise why would we choose him for PLAY?"
Luo Binghe seemed to understand. He blushed and said, "Thank you for the compliment, Auntie. Binghe is just an ordinary person. In my heart, Master is the one with the appearance of a celestial being."
Shen Yun calmly told his parents, "Binghe is a top student majoring in classical Chinese. This is his linguistic style."
"Get used to it."
"Oh, that's it."
"It has depth and is different from today's kids."
Shen Tan's biggest worry was that his sister might have noticed something amiss. But thankfully, nothing happened.
They sat down to eat. His sister glanced at Luo Binghe, perhaps thinking that his long hair was inconvenient, and after thinking for a moment, she took a hair tie off her wrist and said, "Here, take this."
Luo Binghe politely and solemnly said "thank you," took it, and then began to examine the rubber band hair tie with a cotton puppy hanging from it. The puppy looked silly and was wearing a small bib.
He didn't show any sign of doubt. But just in case, Shen Yuan still took the hair tie.
He said, "I'll do it."
He got up and walked over. Luo Binghe sat obediently in the chair, his hands on his lap, sitting upright like a good student, looking like an expectant elementary school student.
Shen Yuan helped Luo Binghe tie up his long hair, thinking that he would have to make an appointment with a stylist tomorrow to give Luo Binghe a haircut.
After finishing the tattoo, I thought, "Not bad, actually quite cute." Luo Binghe is strangely suited to cute things, and Shen Yuan couldn't help but laugh. He laughed until they were all back, then Shen Tang asked him, "When did you play that game? What game? I want to play it too."
Shen Wen: "Playing games is a complete waste of time. Your task now is to study hard."
Shen Tang asked in confusion, "After you came back from the hospital, you inexplicably had the air of someone who had been a primary school teacher for ten years."
Is the Tao just my imagination?
His mother said, "Yes, yes, I think so too!"
Shen Di said, "In short, when I was your age, I always studied hard."
Shen Tang: "I'm doing well in my studies, you don't need to worry about me. Besides, you studied hard back then, and now you're doing well, aren't you?"
Playing video games. What's the difference between playing them early or late?
"I can't afford to offend her, I really can't afford to offend her! No wonder she's at the top of the food chain in her family." Shen Yuan clasped his hands in a fist salute to her.
He recognized the wind. Then he saw Luo Binghe smiling.
No, what are you laughing at?
Shen Qingqiu felt that if he had a fan in his hand right now, he would definitely have struck it. This rebellious brat!
At this moment, his mother glanced at Luo Binghe and suddenly exclaimed in surprise, "Oh my? Isn't this Benben?"
Luo Binghe was puzzled. Everyone else at the table also glanced at Luo Binghe immediately, noticing the little dog on his hair tie.
His father pushed up his glasses and agreed, "He does look like Benben. And that ugly bib, that's what the third son likes the most."
It was given to it to wear.
Shen Tan's face darkened, and he said, "First, that bib isn't ugly; it's the best-looking one I made. Second..."
Second, of course it's exactly the same, because I had it custom-made based on Benben's photo.
"Who is Benben?" Only Luo Binghe raised the question.
Shen Tang explained to him very seriously, "It was my brother's dog. My family didn't allow dogs, but when he was in sixth grade, he secretly picked up a dog that had been run over by a car on the roadside. He secretly wrapped the dog up like a dumpling, secretly shared his food with the dog, and secretly put the dog on his bed to sleep. As a result, in the morning, the dog lay on his chest and almost crushed him to death..."
"Shen Tang," Shen Yuan said, "could you please stop repeating this to everyone I bring to you?"
A story? This story makes no sense.
Ge Binghe said sincerely, "But Master, I find it very interesting, and I really want to hear it! Could you please ask your younger sister..."
Uncle and Aunt, would you like to say a little more?
