Chapter 124 Death

The hotel that Lu Yuxing booked was built near the sea, facing the beautiful coastline of the island, and behind it was a dense jungle and an open-air cinema.

The development here is well done, the security facilities are complete, and the consumption price is not low.Lu Yuxing asked for a suite on the top floor, with two bedrooms and two living rooms, where he could live with his parents.

"The last time I went on vacation with your mother was on our honeymoon."

Lu Junxiong helped push the luggage into the room, and sighed to Lu Yuxing, "The days go by so quickly."

In the living room, Tang Tang was helping Cui Yuqin choose an afternoon outfit. The two were talking and laughing and gesticulating with various skirts. Cui Yuqin was praised by him with a smile on his face.

Lu Yuxing was busy checking everywhere.He opened and closed the windows one by one, then crossed the living room and checked the gas in the kitchen carefully.

The hotel was kept very clean and the kitchen stove was spotless.Lu Yuxing turned around and saw two fruit knives stuck on the shelf in the corner.

He thought for a moment, picked up the two knives, wrapped them in plastic bags, and threw them into the cabinet.

In the living room, Cui Yuqin, who had just picked out her clothes, heard the movement in the kitchen, and looked around suspiciously.

The gas stove for cooking made a slight noise, Lu Yuxing turned it off and on, turned it on and off again.

"Son?" Cui Yuqin called out, "What are you doing?"

The glass door of the kitchen was closed tightly, and Lu Yuxing didn't hear it.

Tang Tang took a look and immediately understood, so he smiled and took Cui Yuqin's arm, jokingly said, "Ah Xing said he wanted to cook by himself, but it doesn't look very useful. I'll go and have a look."

He quickly walked into the kitchen and closed the glass door behind his back.

Lu Yuxing squatted down with his back facing him, and was studying the stove that no one used all the year round.

"Ah Xing, don't be so nervous." Tang Tang whispered, "You are so abnormal, they will see it."

The metal knob made a light "snap" sound and was closed by Lu Yuxing.

He sighed, stood up, and turned around.

"Sorry." Lu Yuxing rubbed his temples, "I have to make sure there is no risk."

In the living room, Cui Yuqin was showing off to her husband the dress that her son matched with her. Lu Junxiong didn't know what to say, which made her laugh non-stop.

Tang Tang looked at Lu Yuxing, his deep eyebrows showed high tension and exhaustion.

He opened his mouth to say something, but he didn't say it after all, so he hugged Lu Yuxing.

"I'm with you," he murmured, "it'll be fine."

At twelve noon, Lu Yuxing led his family to have a meal in the western restaurant next to the hotel, and rested by the seaside in the afternoon.

There are many tourists in twos and threes by the sea, and there are a few children making sand castles, which is very lively.

Cui Yuqin and Lu Junxiong stood holding hands in the shallows to take pictures. Lu Yuxing was a little sleepy, wearing sunglasses, lying on a chair to bask in the sun.

"Ah Xing!"

Tang Tang ran over with two opened coconuts, stuffed one for Lu Yuxing, and threw the other to the happy couple.

Lu Yuxing pulled him, let him lie on his body, and they stuck together.Their behavior is a bit out of the ordinary, but there are huge umbrellas covering their heads, so others can't see clearly.

"Why don't you go swimming?" Lu Yuxing looked at the two people in the distance absently.

Tang Tang lay on top of him, took a sip of coconut juice, bit the straw and said vaguely, "I have no strength."

He remained silent for a while, then rolled over from Lu Yuxing, and lay down on an empty folding chair beside him.

"I miss Grandpa." Tang Tang said.

The dazzling sunlight fell on him, and the collar of the floral shirt was open, revealing his beautiful collarbone.Tang Tang wore sunglasses on his face, so he couldn't see any expression.

"Ah Xing, if we can't escape that disaster..." He hugged the coconut and said lightly, "Why don't we just forget about it."

"It's boring to live for a long time, watching people you love leave one by one, and only I am still alive." He said.

The waves slapped violently on the rocks, and the children not far away laughed and ran away, leaving the sand castles they had just built in the sea.

Lu Yuxing looked at him and asked back, "Then what do you want to do?"

Tang Tang shook his legs, as if he was joking.

"If you die, I'll freeze you first, and I'll come to accompany you and lie in the same coffin with you when the time goes back." He smiled foolishly, "If I die , then do whatever you want, just remember to put my ashes in the room."

"In this way, even if you find a new love, I can still quietly watch you go to bed."

Tang Tang bit the straw with teeth marks on it, revealing dimples on his cheeks.

The salty sea breeze was blowing in front of him, Lu Yuxing turned his head to look at him, stretched out his hand, and took off the sunglasses on Tang Tang's face.

Tang Tang was still smiling, but tears were already streaming from those eyes.

Lu Yuxing's heart was tightly clenched.His hand holding the sunglasses stopped in the air, and after a while, he carefully helped Tang Tang put them back on.

"Fool." He rubbed Tang Tang's hair hard, "You can't do this to me."

Tang Tang raised his head and blinked his eyes.

Lu Yuxing held his hand and said in a deep voice, "I will do my best. Whether it's you or mom."

The two held hands tightly, Tang Tang let Lu Yuxing pull him up, sat up, and kissed him.

Cui Yuqin happened to come over, and when she saw this, she clicked her tongue twice and exclaimed exaggeratedly:

"Oh, sorry to bother you."

Tang Tang was so dazed by Lu Yuxing's kiss, he blushed immediately when he saw Cui Yuqin, pushed Lu Yuxing away quickly, jumped off the folding chair, and ran to another place to play alone.

Cui Yuqin shook her head with a smile and sat down on the chair.

"Seeing that you are so affectionate, I feel relieved." She smiled and moved the coconut aside, propping her head to look at Lu Yuxing. "How is it? How are you going to spend your birthday tomorrow?"

Lu Yuxing recovered from the kiss just now, "I discussed with Tang Tang and planned to spend tomorrow night in the hotel."

In the distance, Lu Junxiong held up his camera and took a picture here.

Cui Yuqin smiled and said "yeah" to the camera, and whispered to Lu Yuxing, "Your dad and I will go shopping on the island tomorrow, so I won't bother you during the day. It's a couple, mom understands."

"Mom, we're still together..."

Before Lu Yuxing finished speaking, Cui Yuqin stood up with a smile and waved to him.

"Mom knows, mom understands." She smiled and took off her coat, folded it and put it on the chair, "Okay, go and accompany Tangtang, I'll take pictures with your dad."

Lu Yuxing's words "Let's go out together" got stuck in his throat and he couldn't say it.

On the side, Tang Tang, who was picking up hermit crabs with the children, glanced at him with a puzzled expression.

Lu Yuxing sighed, fell into the chair and did not move.

After dinner, Cui Yuqin was a little sleepy, so the four of them left the open-air cinema, returned to the hotel room, washed up and went to sleep.

Tang Tang lay on the bed with Lu Yuxing, and could vaguely hear the voice of Lu Junxiong next door.

The sound insulation was too poor, and the two of them went to bed early but had nothing to do, so they lay side by side, thinking about their own thoughts.

Lu Junxiong's thick voice came faintly, but he couldn't make out what he was saying.

"What is Dad talking about?" Tang Tang asked curiously.

Lu Yuxing turned over and hugged him from behind. "Bedtime stories." He said, "I have been used to it for decades. My mother was too tired from work when she was young, and she was a little insomnia."

The hot skin of the two touched each other, and there was a very reassuring feeling.

"That's great." Tang Tang hugged Lu Yuxing's hand on his waist, "Tell me one too, I can't sleep."

Lu Yuxing smiled wryly, "I don't have much imagination, and I don't know how to tell stories."

Speaking of this, both of them thought of the "bedtime story" seven years ago, and Lu Yuxing lightly recounted that extremely horrifying experience, which made Tang Tang get goosebumps all over his body.

Under the quilt, Tang Tang sighed sullenly.

"I don't know what happened to Xu..."

After a while, he asked Lu Yuxing again: "Do you hate her?"

Lu Yuxing thought for a while, then shook his head.

"She's very poor."

"It's pitiful, I won't forgive her." Tang Tang turned around, leaned against Lu Yuxing's arms, reached into the hem of his clothes with his left hand, and gently stroked the scar.

He wanted Lu Yuxing to owe him selfishly, but now they both have their own scars, so it's evened out.

Next door, Lu Junxiong's story was also finished.Tang Tang was wrapped in Lu Yuxing's body temperature, thought wildly for a long time, and gradually fell asleep.

In the darkness, Lu Yuxing hugged Tang Tang, who was already asleep, and couldn't fall asleep for a long time.

Tang Tang regards him as a steady reliance, but the road ahead is uncertain. He doesn't know if he can break the curse of death.

The next morning, Cui Yuqin discussed with Lu Junxiong, changed clothes and shoes lightly, and went out.

Lu Yuxing didn't fall asleep until dawn in the morning, and he didn't fall asleep for a long time when he heard Tang Tang's exclamation from the living room.

"Ah Xing, get up quickly! They've already left the house!"

Lu Yuxing opened his eyes suddenly, turned over and got out of bed.

Like a frizzy lion, with messy hair on his head and wearing only a pair of boxer briefs, he walked quickly into the living room.

The bedroom next door was empty, Tang Tang took out a note from the drawer and handed it to Lu Yuxing.

It reads:

"Ah Xing, Tang Tang, Mom and Dad went shopping. I know you guys want to make out, so we plan to wait until the sun goes down before returning."

There is also a line of Lu Junxiong's handwriting below:

"Don't go too far, there is cooked food in the refrigerator, remember to eat."

Lu Yuxing's face was gloomy, he put the note back on the table, and hurried back to his room to get dressed.

"Go, go to the street to find someone."

Tang Tang also quickly got dressed, washed up briefly, and followed Lu Yuxing out without his sunglasses on.

At 07:30 in the morning, the island has woken up from its deep sleep.The snack street and shopping mall in the center are full of tourists, and there are also many tourists who took pictures in front of the square, enclosing the narrow streets.

"Did you see it?" In the crowd, Tang Tang and Lu Yuxing held hands and tried their best to find the couple in the crowd.

Lu Yuxing looked stern, and led Tang Tang across the square, all the way to the mall.

"They should go to the specialty store, right?" Tang Tang followed quickly, and said loudly in the crowd, "Go upstairs and have a look?"

There are not as many tourists in the shopping mall as on the street, but there are shopping guides promoting products everywhere, which is very noisy.

Tang Tang felt that Lu Yuxing's palms were sweating slightly, and his face was full of anxiety.

After searching around for a long time, Tang Tang suddenly saw a figure not far away when he passed the exit on the second floor.

"Ah Xing!" He grabbed Lu Yuxing's hand and pointed to the escalator: "Is that right?"
