Chapter 125: Brothers from now on

It all happened so fast… There was a sudden loud noise and a blinding light…

Grandpa, who had been chattering non-stop, was scared speechless. Older Brother reacted the fastest and ran away shouting, "Thunder! Thunder!"

Mr. Kang quickly came to his senses. He knew that Master was unusual. They lived in the ordinary world, but Master had opened up a world of magical realism.

Stimulated by recent events, Mr. Kang desperately wanted to investigate his own family.

The problem was that everything he wanted to investigate happened over twenty years ago, and he couldn't find any leads.

That's when Mr. Kang found out about this master of magical realism. The master was an innocent and good person, inexperienced with the ways of the world.

Like a hawk eyeing a lamb, Mr. Kang set his sights on this "lamb."

Of course, just as a hawk can't catch a lamb with brute force, Mr. Kang knew he couldn't win over this principled good person with his power.

So, the master liar, Mr. Kang, spent more than a week teaching his heart to lie.

However… he just wanted to trick the master into being a tool because the master used his ability recklessly every day.

Mr. Kang never thought he would be struck by lightning!

At that moment, Mr. Kang didn't care about his grandparents anymore. The first thing he did after regaining his senses was to carry the master, who now had an afro, outside and run.

Li, the assistant, was waiting outside when he saw his boss come out carrying an afro?

Afro? Where did the afro come from?

"Mr. Kang!"

"Get the car ready. We need to go to the hospital. Do you know how to deal with someone who has been struck by lightning?"

Only then did Assistant Li see clearly that the afro belonged to his boss's lifesaver.

Ten minutes later, the car was on the road, and Assistant Li sneaked a glance at the people in the back.

Mr. Kang was sitting next to the afro, checking his breathing and pulse, but the master remained unresponsive.

Mr. Kang took out his phone and started making a call.

Assistant Li was a little puzzled. Hadn't he already called the hospital?

The person in the back got through the call and said in a panic, "I didn't mean to. I didn't know he would be struck by lightning."

The person on the other end must have said something because Mr. Kang calmed down a little. "Master was struck by lightning. He's not injured, but his hair is fried, and he seems to be out of it."

Yue Qin was also startled and said, "Calm down first. I'll be right there."

Mr. Kang tried to calm down and imagined what Yue Qin would do if he encountered this situation.

He… He probably wouldn't have taken advantage of the master in the first place.

Mr. Kang felt a pang of regret and said to the motionless master beside him, "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to. Do you have any way to let me know if you can hear me? Give me a sign."

"Otherwise, I'll have to take you to the hospital for treatment, but I'm not sure if the doctors can cure you."

As Mr. Kang spoke, his eyes were fixed on the master, hoping for some kind of indication.

After all, the master's world was one of magical realism.

The master remained motionless, not even blinking.

Assistant Li said, "Mr. Kang, don't worry. He's in no state to communicate with you right now."

At that moment, the motionless master suddenly let out a "Coo—"

Coo? Could it be…?

Mr. Kang's mind raced, and he immediately called Xia Sheng.

"Violent mom, when Master came over for dinner, did he learn bird language with you guys?"

"What did you call me?"

"Master was struck by lightning. Did he learn bird language when he was at our house?"

"Yes, he did," Xia Sheng said, forgetting about the name he had called her after hearing about the lightning strike. "How did he get struck by lightning?"

"The price of a free meal," Mr. Kang said. "Listen, what's he saying now?"

Mr. Kang put the phone to the master's mouth—

"Coo—"

After listening, Xia Sheng whispered, "Hold on a second. I'm in front of my students. It's not convenient for me to say."

Mr. Kang: "It's a matter of life and death!"

Xia Sheng walked out of the classroom and said, "You bad cat, I curse you to get ringworm and go bald!"

Mr. Kang: "Now is not the time to curse me! I shouldn't have called you violent, and I shouldn't have skipped dinner at home all these days. Just tell me what he's saying!"

"That's what he's saying." Xia Sheng said, "That's how doves curse stray cats."

"We haven't learned any swear words in this bird language yet, so he probably just wants to curse you."

Mr. Kang was devastated: "At a time like this, you're using it to curse me?"

"Tell me how to save you quickly."

The motionless master cooed twice more.

Xia Sheng said, "The only useful thing on your body is your cat fur. I'll pluck it all out sooner or later!"

Mr. Kang: "Again?"

Xia Sheng said, "Don't worry, that's all the cat-cursing phrases we've learned."

This time, the master cooed twice more.

Mr. Kang was anxious: "This time, it must be about how to treat him."

Xia Sheng said, "He said to put him in the water, and he'll recover."

Mr. Kang said to Assistant Li in the front, "Go to my house."

The master cooed.

Xia Sheng: "He said he's not going to your house, you evil bald cat. He's coming to my house." All the swear words that could be conveyed in the cooing were about cats.

Mr. Kang looked at the motionless master. What else could he do?

"Fine, go to your house."

Assistant Li increasingly felt that Mr. Kang had… joined some strange organization?

Nothing about this seemed normal.

Xia Sheng still asked for leave after hanging up the phone.

So, when Xia Sheng got home, except for her own son, Kangkang, who was at kindergarten, the two freeloaders were quarreling—

"Liar! You lied!" Master was wrapped in a bath towel, shivering with cold. After being struck by lightning, his whole body felt like it was on fire, extremely painful.

You know, the most painful death is burning.

Mr. Kang knew he was in the wrong and could only defend himself, "You didn't say that I would be struck by lightning if I revealed the secret."

Xia Sheng was stunned, dumbfounded by the master's naivety: "Master, how did you survive this long? You clearly knew you would be struck by lightning if you told him. Why did you still tell him?"

The master was even angrier when it came to this: "He's too good at lying. I wouldn't have helped him if I had known!"

Reminded by Xia Sheng, Mr. Kang also reacted. The master knew he would be struck by lightning but still helped him.

Mr. Kang felt a surge of emotion in his heart and couldn't help but sigh, "Where were all you good people when I was a kid?"

"Brother, from now on, as long as I have a bite to eat, I will never let you eat expired instant hot pot again."

These chivalrous words and the righteous air… If you didn't know better, you'd never guess that this was a prelude to bringing someone home to freeload.

Master was not the kind of person who would give up his dignity for a free meal. He said, "You have no idea what it feels like to be struck by lightning!"

"Then what do you want?" Mr. Kang asked.

This master was truly a good person.

He was kind enough to tell him the truth when he saw his pitiful state.

But even when facing a lightning strike, he still chose to tell the truth out of pity. This was the kind of flawed friend worth having.

How many people could one meet in a lifetime?

The master thought for a moment and said, "Unless you also experience what it feels like to be soaked in ice water."

Half an hour later, Mr. Kang, wrapped in a blanket after climbing out of the ice water, sat on the sofa, shivering alongside the master.

Yue Qin, the old father, brought another heater and tried hard to suppress his laughter at the sight of these two.

In fact, Yue Qin was quite happy. The current Mr. Kang had matured a lot compared to before. Although he still made mistakes from time to time, he knew how to take responsibility and understood that others' pain was real.

Wrapped in a thick blanket, Mr. Kang shivered and said to the master beside him, "I'm sorry. I shouldn't have used you. If I had known you would be struck by lightning, I would never have dragged you into this. I really didn't mean to."

The master's anger had subsided, but he was still shivering from the cold. His teeth chattered as he said, "I don't blame you anymore."

Xia Sheng had already taken leave, and Yue Qin's view was to let them sort it out themselves, so he sat on the side, eating apples with his wife.

Xia Sheng ate slowly, watching them as she ate.

These two were just like those elementary school buddies.

You made me soak in ice water for half an hour, but as long as you soak in ice water for half an hour too, we'll still be friends.

Childish and cute.

It was hard for adults to be like this.

Xia Sheng was a little envious.

Mr. Kang said, "Then we're brothers from now on. You're my first good brother."

Mr. Kang was a little happy as he said this.

On the one hand, he was glad that he could make up for such a big mistake. On the other hand, he was also happy to have met such a good person.

It was at this moment that he realized where all these good people had gone. Why hadn't he met any of them when he was a child? How wonderful it would have been to have met them back then!

The master could still hear his thoughts and explained, "I was digging up roots in the mountains to eat when I was a kid. It's not like I deliberately avoided you."

"Ah?" Mr. Kang had always thought he had the worst childhood in the world. "You didn't have a mom and dad when you were little?"

"I did, but they found out about my ability and made me listen in on their boss's secrets and then used those secrets to make money."

Mr. Kang frowned. "But wouldn't you be struck by lightning if you told anyone?"

"I wouldn't die."

Mr. Kang sighed. "That's too much."

"I wasn't that bad. At first, I didn't understand that I was violating someone else's privacy. After I understood, I ran away."

Mr. Kang looked at his newly acquainted friend with sympathy and said, "I think your parents were too much."

As he spoke, Mr. Kang sighed again. "It's okay. We'll eat together from now on. You don't have to eat tree roots anymore."

Xia Sheng propped her chin in her hand, watching as the two, who had been at odds with each other just now, were now getting along harmoniously.

It was as warm and beautiful as a fairy tale.

Xia Sheng suddenly thought how nice it would be if all relationships could be like this.
