C27 (2/2)
I softly said, ”You should head over to my place. I saw that pervert's intention and thought that he might even marry you.”
I brought the two of them home, and as soon as I entered the door, I hastily lit a few incense sticks of time for Tang Yufeng, wanting her to come out and help me. But after thinking about it, Tang Yufeng was injured last night and had not recovered.
”You two can stay at my house for the time being. I'll give you two your rooms. We'll talk about it tomorrow if you need anything.” I was also a bit tired, so I took the bedclothes and laid them on the sofa in the living room. I placed the axe and the pipe pot on the coffee table.
In case that pervert goes back on his word and turns around, I'll kill him.
I lay on the sofa, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep until dawn. I thought about it a bit last night. This matter is quite difficult, and Tang Yufeng won't be able to help. I can only think of something else.
I got up and went into the bathroom to wash up. I put on my coat and went downstairs to get some breakfast. When he returned, Guan Rou and Han Mengchen were already awake. From the looks of it, his face was extremely ugly. Perhaps he had suffered too much from the shock last night and had yet to recover from it.
”It's time to eat. I just bought some breakfast.” I placed my breakfast on the table and brought three pairs of chopsticks over. ”Look, the two of you didn't sleep last night?”
Guan Rou yawned and said, ”I just slept for a while. I didn't sleep last night.”
”How do you plan to solve this issue, Liu Shangguan Sheng?” After washing up, Guan Rou sat down in front of the table. She stretched out her hand, grabbed a fried dough stick and took a bite as she spoke. I thought for a moment before replying in a deep voice, ”The two of you should go to work today. I'll think of a way to resolve this matter.” If I really can't beat that pervert, then I'll just go back to my hometown and ask the old man for help.
Han Mengchen looked listless as he said worriedly, ”I'm really scared. What if the problem can't be resolved? What if the pervert keeps pestering me?”
”The two of you don't have to worry about me. Just leave it to me and don't think too much about it.” When I saw Han Mengchen acting like this, my heart ached. No matter what, I couldn't let that pervert take Han Mengchen away.
After breakfast, the two of them went to work separately. I quickly packed my stuff and rushed to the train station. I bought a ticket and took a bus back to the countryside. The old man was at the door staking paper men, so I hastily walked over and placed the specially bought nutrition items on the table.
”Kid, why are you back again?” The old man placed the piece of paper inside the house and reached out to grab the pipe, ”Tell me …” What exactly is going on? ”
I explained the situation to the old man from beginning to end. The old man puffed on his cigarette, ”This matter is easily resolved. You brat, you usually make you learn more, so you should be lazy. This is great, you've suffered a loss!”
I saw that the old man seemed to be gloating, and I couldn't help but smile.
”Old gramps, take it easy, don't slap them!”
I happily took the teapot and poured a cup of tea for the old man. The old man glared at me, ”This matter of yours is easy to handle. That pervert won't find your friend for no reason.
”Repayment of debts? I don't understand... This thing even wants to repay its debt?! ”
The old man slowly exhaled a cloud of smoke and said, ”That girl should have known that pervert in his previous life, and he came to find her because of some sort of meeting factor in this life.”
According to what the old man said, that pervert was fated to be Han Mengchen in his previous life to make up for it in this life.
”Then how do we settle this? That pervert is very powerful, and Tang Yufeng is injured so she can't help me.”
The old man frowned and said, ”Didn't I give you a cigarette pouch and an axe? That's our family heirloom. Kid, don't embarrass me.”
I frowned and said, ”But I can't even touch his hair. Even if I had an axe, it wouldn't be of any use!” The old man knocked on my head with his pipe and angrily said, ”You've learned from me for 20 years and can't even take care of a little kid. Let's not talk about my disciple outside.”
After saying that, the old man turned around and walked into the backyard, making me puzzled. What's the meaning of this? I looked at the paper stuck in the ground and my eyes immediately lit up. I picked up some paper made tools and drove back to the city.
I wrote the names Han Mengchen and Guan Rou's birthdays on a few pieces of paper. Then I burned the two paper men.
