260 You Probably Won’t Believe Me… (2/2)

Under the weak light of dawn, Ye Qingxuan carefully pushed the manhole cover and peeked out at the world. He saw the chaotic market, the weak street cleaner, and a muscular middle-aged woman with a basin of dirty water.

Wait…dirty water?

With a slosh, the water splashed all over Ye Qingxuan’s face. It was the smell and feeling he was familiar with. Yes, it was the dirty water used for boiling chicken feathers; however, he laughed involuntarily after the shock.

He had really come out?!

Under everyone’s stunned gazes, a strange man climbed out of the sewer with a giant dirty dog and began cheering as if he had received a new life. The terrified middle-aged woman gaped at his happy state. After a long while, she spat out, ”This isn’t my fault. There’s something wrong with his head.”

-

Ten minutes later, he arrived at the large hall of the Caput mansion.

Pinching her nose, Lola looked at him in disgust. ”Did you climb out of a landfill?”

”Probably,” With a wry chuckle, Ye Qingxuan collapsed onto the sofa and waved. ”Stop caring about all that. Give me something to eat and then let me sleep.”

Seeing how he did not take himself as an outsider, and his unapologetic expression, Lola’s face instantly darkened. ”You think my home is a hotel and you can come and go as you wish? Also, why do you bring everything here? Get that dog out of here!”

”Huh?” Confused, Ye Qingxuan looked to Old Phil. It was sitting beside him on the sofa. It was dirty and left a bunch of black marks on Lola’s favorite lush Indian rug. Now, it was side-eyeing Lola arrogantly.

Ye Qingxuan’s expression grew wry. ”You might not believe it, but that’s my savior. I’m alive because of him!”

”Ha!” Lola was clearly close to losing her temper. With a dark expression, she gritted out, ”Your savior sure is special! Ye Qingxuan, can you think before you make things up?”

”Anyway, just believe me. I’m so tired.” Ye Qingxuan held Lola’s shoulder with his dirty hands, leaving two handprints on her white shirt. ”Can you let me sleep first? We can talk about things later.”

”Ye Qingxuan, you’re getting more and more reckless.” As a clean freak, Lola was so angry her eyes were twitching. Squeezing out an eerie smile, she said, ”Sure, you can sleep. Would you like Sister to accompany you?”

Ye Qingxuan instantly grew shy. Scratching his face, he stammered, ”This…Thanks but no thanks, Auntie.”

Thud! He flew out and landed outside the door.

”Ye Qingxuan!” In her original spot, Lola’s hair had turned snow-white from anger. Sharp fangs poked from her mouth, her eyes were murderous, and her face was cold. Though she had bad temper, anyone would be pissed at this!

First, she used up all her strength to save him after learning he had entered Avalon’s Shadow. Then, she waited for an entire night in worry, and finally, he came back with a dirty dog, smelling like he was pulled out a landfill.

Furthermore, he did not even say a single word of thanks. Not only was her night of worry and waiting were wasted on a dirty dog, Ye Qingxuan had said something no woman could bear. One must admit that Ye Qingxuan deserved it!

But after a while, Ye Qingxuan was still unmoving on the ground. Blanching, Lola went over and kicked his face. On the ground, Ye Qingxuan rolled over and snored. He was sleeping like a dead dog. He was so infuriating that he made one want to step on that face.

Yes, Lola felt much better after stepping on him. She looked up and called, ”Sam!”

Soon, the ugly and lame servant stumbled over. Lola glanced at him and pointed at Old Phil on the sofa. ”Get it some food and wash it. Note, it eats whatever you eat. It must eat better than you, understand?”

Sam’s features spasmed but he nodded.

Looking away, Lola bent down and tugged at Ye Qingxuan’s pant cuff. Dragging the youth as if he was a dead dog, she stumbled clumsily up the stairs. Finally, she pushed open her bedroom door and tossed him on the bed.

She finally remembered that he smelled really bad! Heart breaking, she gazed at her bedroom and her bed. When she saw Ye Qingxuan, she was so angry her teeth were sore. But after a while, she could only sigh.

Whatever. They were all useless now, so she would just change everything. There was no need to feel sad. Glancing at how deeply Ye Qingxuan was sleeping, she felt her own fatigue. After all, she had used up too much strength and had waited for a whole night.

She yawned and turned to leave. After two steps, she turned around angrily and glared at Ye Qingxuan. Why did she have to sleep in the guest room? This was her bedroom and her bed!

And so Ye Qingxuan was kicked to the side. Lola pulled down the curtains and carefully rolled out the unsullied blankets. Rolling herself into a cocoon, she closed her eyes. However, it felt weird without a pillow.

After a while, she surrendered and pulled an arm over. Putting the arm under her head, she closed her eyes. She felt much better imagining she was using a bag of the world’s best blood as her pillow. She slept heavily.
