[BL] I Wasn't Born Lucky (Unlimited Flow)

Chapter 249

The steward steadily led the group to the end of the corridor. They stopped in front of the tall building where the eaves disappeared. Due to the high structure, the corridor couldn't be built directly to the stairs of the building. Therefore, they had to go through an open-air path before they could enter the building.

Usually, Xiao Li could use the little yellow book to summon the Eternal Soul Umbrella but unfortunately, the Eternal Soul Umbrella had been taken away by Shen Chenzhi. Perhaps if the rain was lighter, they could walk right through the rain. Now in this type of heavy rain, they would be drenched if there was no shelter. Or simply... just go back?

Xiao Li watched the steward head straight into the rain and was full of thoughts.

"Steward Sun, don't you have an umbrella for us?" Luo Shan raised her tone and called out to the steward ahead of them in the rain.

The housekeeper stood in the rain and his voice mixed in with the rain. "I'll get you umbrellas."

Wang Huai sighed. "No need, I have them here."

He took out three umbrellas from his task book. The colours of the umbrellas were red, orange and yellow and they weren't big. It was like they were configured for kindergarten children.

"It can only be used for 10 minutes at most or the souls of the triplets will recover." Wang Huai warned everyone seriously. "Squeeze in and run over."

Ye Zeqing held a small red umbrella and walked toward Xiao Li. Xiao Li didn't move. Ye Zeqing asked him, "Are you going?"

Xiao Li suddenly turned his head. "Do you hear a sound?"

Ye Zeqing wouldn't have any fluctuations if someone else showed such an expression but it was Moriarty doing this. Therefore, he followed and listened carefully to the surrounding movements. Finally, he answered, "No, the rain is too heavy. I can't hear it at all. Is it crying?"

"No," Xiao Li stated. "It is another sound like coughing."

He added, "It is similar to an old man with sputum in his lungs."

Xiao Li pulled Ye Zeqing to where he was standing and pointed to the pond opposite the building. Perhaps it was the psychological effect of hearing Xiao Li's words but Ye Zeqing seemed to hear the sound. Cough, cough, cough.

It was just that this sound was washed away by the rain. Only the last echo was left, making everyone unsure. Wang Huai suggested, "Since this sound is as irregular as the crying, we should go first and see why Sun Yaoming asked for us."

He and Ye Lingshi huddled under a small yellow umbrella and ran over quickly. Xiao Li was about to step into the rain when a purple umbrella filled his vision. Shen Chenzhi held the umbrella steadily, his knuckles clean and powerful against the dark purple handle. It looked very nice.

Before Xiao Li could react, the young man smiled from under the umbrella. "You don't like the dinner here. I brought you some food but you can't eat too much."

Xiao Li walked under the purple umbrella. Unsurprisingly, the broad umbrella surface tilted in his direction. Ye Zeqing was left alone. He hesitated to speak and eventually raised the red umbrella, enjoying it alone.

Everyone arrived in the separate building. The head of the Sun family had been waiting for a long time. Sun Qilin and three other middle-aged men were also there. They were wearing dark green Tang suits (traditional Chinese jacket) with simple patterns embroidered on them. Tang Huaqing was sitting next to a man with a low nose and they were chatting happily while drinking.

"Hey." Wang Huai whispered in a voice that only they could hear. "The old ghosts of the Sun family have encountered something."

Ye Zeqing wondered, "How do you know?"
