Chapter 124 - Roasted Sweet Potatoes (2/2)

Xiao Luo could not think of anything else to say, and it crossed his mind that Sun Yu still needed to work. “I’m so sorry for bothering you for such a long time. I’ll take you back to the hospital right now.”

“Oh, okay!” Sun Yu answered delicately and nodded.

Xiao Luo knocked on the door and took the car key from Zhang Dashan, ready to drive Sun Yu back.

It was late at night and tranquil when a white Corolla drove down the street.

“Are you not going to ask me who those men were?” Xiao Luo asked as he drove, breaking the silence in the car.

“They are your friends. So, I’m sure they are good people,” Sun Yu answered and shook her head.

“Good people?”

“Yeah, Brother Xiao Luo is a good man. So your friends ought to be good people too,” Sun Yu answered with a nod. On her delicate face beamed a pure smile.

Xiao Luo’s smirk, however, was a little unnatural. If Sun Yu knew that he had just murdered more than twenty people, she would not think the same way about him as before. In fact, she should be afraid of him and shun him at all costs.

“Brother Xiao Luo, the Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching. Do you have any plans?” Sun Yu asked.

“I shouldn’t have any plans.”

Sun Yu broke into a smile, and her eyes filled with hopes. She said with a pleasant laugh, “Then come to our hospital to watch the performances. Our hospital hosts a specially prepared Mid-Autumn Festival party.”

“Will you perform on stage?” Xiao Luo asked.

“Yep. I have been preparing a dance routine with my sisters from the hospital. Sister Ruyi seems to be working an act, but I forgot what she is going for.”

Xiao Luo smiled and agreed, “Alright, I’ll come.”

“It’ll be amazing. You definitely won’t be disappointed,” Sun Yu chirped gleefully.

Xiao Luo smiled. He had a particular affinity for this girl and felt very relaxed around her. Her company was not stressful at all.

“Brother Xiao Luo, can you pull over?” Sun Yu’s eyes brightened up as she suddenly noticed a food stall by the road.

Xiao Luo pulled over slowly.

“Do you like to eat roasted sweet potatoes?” Sun Yu asked.

“Hmm, yeah.” Xiao Luo nodded.

“Then let’s get some. Look, there’s a stall by the road selling them.”

Before Xiao Luo could agree, Sun Yu opened the car door and ran off excitedly. It was apparent that she was very fond of roasted sweet potatoes.

Xiao Luo could only get out of the car and follow her. From afar, he smelled an incredibly delicious fragrance, which instantly reminded him of many childhood memories.

“Boss, I’d like two, please!”

“It’s ten bucks for two.”

The boss took out two round sweet potatoes from the oil tank beside him, which served as an oven. He wrapped them in oil papers and pa.s.sed them to Sun Yu.

Sun Yu was about to pay, but Xiao Luo had already handed twenty bucks to the boss and said, “I’d like two more.”

He was a little hungry. Since he was eating roasted sweet potatoes, he should obviously eat enough to feel fully satisfied.

Sun Yu raised her head to look at him, then smiled joyfully.

…

Xiao Luo drove to a park in the Guangming District then sat down before a stone table with a Go board engraved on it. The two of them were the only people in the vast park. The lights were slightly dim, and if they looked up, they could see stars. Unknown insects came out from the corners of shrubs buzzing so loudly that it was as if they were flying right beside their ears.
