Chapter 75 Are You Polite?

Goudan, who was standing by, stared intently at the intimate scene between the two. The pastry in his palm had long been crushed into crumbs, and the sweet filling was sticky all over his hands, but he was completely unaware.

The scene before him made his eyes sore, and he couldn't help but think of the scene when he and Tang Xiaoyun first met half a month ago.

He took the money his mother gave him to go to the town to buy tofu. As there were many people buying tofu, an aunt knocked a piece of tofu off in the crowd, and the stall owner insisted that it was he who knocked it off.

While he was arguing with the stall owner, one hand reached into the stall owner's money box, and the stall owner insisted that he had stolen the money.

Just when he was at a loss for words, Tang Xiaoyun appeared in front of him and saved him.

"Boss, you said that this little brother stole your money. Do you have any evidence?" Tang Xiaoyun protected Goudan, whom he met for the first time, behind him and asked the stall owner.

When the stall owner saw Goudan had an accomplice, he became furious, his face reddening. He pointed at Goudan's nose and shouted, "Who else could it be but him? He deliberately knocked my tofu over and then took advantage of the chaos to steal my money. These are all common thieves' tricks!"

Hearing the stall owner's words, Tang Xiaoyun turned to look at Goudan and asked, "Where's your money?"

Goudan quickly took out a hundred coins from his pocket, which were strung together with a rope.

"Brother, this money was given to me by my mother. I didn't steal their money!"

Before Tang Xiaoyun could say anything, the stall owner pointed at the hanging money and said, "Look, that money is mine. He stole it!"

Tang Xiaoyun scoffed when he heard that, his eyes curved into a playful arc. The stall owner blushed and yelled in a gruff voice, "What are you laughing at?!"

"Let's not talk about whether the money is yours. Let me ask you, can you string the copper coins together in such a short time?"

After these words were spoken, the onlookers finally realized that what Tang Xiaoyun said made sense.

An old lady nodded in agreement and said, "This young man is right. It's only been a short while. How could he have strung the money together right under our noses?"

"Yeah, I guess it was a mistake."

After hearing what the onlookers said, the stall owner's face turned slightly red, but he still stiffened his neck and insisted that the money was his.

Tang Xiaoyun curled his lips and smiled, took the string of copper coins from Goudan, put it under his nose and sniffed it, then moved closer to let the old lady smell it.

Then he asked, "Auntie, do you smell anything?"

The old lady frowned, covered her nose and said, "This copper coin smells like herbs."

The stall owner's pupils shrank when he heard this. He didn't believe it and went closer to smell it. Sure enough, a faint herbal scent filled his nose.

Seeing this, Tang Xiaoyun asked, "Smell the copper coins in your box again. Do they smell like herbs?"

It would be strange if a tofu seller’s copper coins were contaminated with the smell of herbs!

The stall owner knew that he had misunderstood Goudan, and his face turned red with embarrassment. But when he thought about the fact that he had lost money and had to pay for the tofu, he felt that he had been at a disadvantage no matter how he thought about it.

"Then, then he is the one who always knocks the tofu off, right?"

Seeing that he still wasn't going to let Goudan go, Tang Xiaoyun lost his patience. "There are so many people here, how can you be so sure he knocked it over? Besides, this tofu is fragile. It would break with a slight touch. It's just a piece of tofu. Are you really going to hold on to a child?"

The old lady at the side couldn't stand it any longer. Seeing that Goudan was about to cry, she came out to smooth things over and said, "Yang family, it's just a piece of tofu. I bought it. Don't embarrass a child."

"Yes, his father often sells herbs in town. He's always around. It wouldn't be good if things got out of hand."

Seeing that so many people were speaking up for Goudan, the stall owner didn't want to bother him any more and had to let him go.

Goudan saw all of this. The fact that a stranger he had never met would help him to this point shocked his young heart, which had lived for thirteen years. At the same time, he was also very grateful to Tang Xiaoyun.

"Thank you so much, little brother. If it weren't for your help, I'm afraid this wouldn't have ended well."

"It's just a few words, it's not worth mentioning. You are still young, and it's inevitable that you will panic when encountering such things. Be more careful in everything you do in the future."

Tang Xiaoyun lectured Goudan in the tone of an elder looking at a junior, which inevitably made Goudan feel a little embarrassed.

At this time, Mo Yu, wearing a cloak, walked to Tang Xiaoyun and frowned immediately when he saw a young boy beside him.

For some reason, he didn't like anyone except him to get close to Tang Xiaoyun.

"Have you found a place to live?" Mo Yu asked.

Tang Xiaoyun slapped his forehead, "I forgot..."

I was so busy helping Goudan solve his problem that I forgot that the first step they took when they arrived in the north of this barren land was to find a place to live.

Goudan naturally sensed Mo Yu's vigilance towards him. After hearing what the two were saying, he asked, "Little brother, are you looking for a place to stay? I know one."

"Really? Then take us there quickly."

After that, Goudan brought them to his home. His mother was sorting the herbs his father had dug in the yard, so he asked the two to wait at the door for a while.

"Mom, has the yard next door been rented out?" Goudan came to his mother and asked.

"No, why are you asking this?"

Goudan pointed at the two men standing outside the bamboo fence and said to his mother, "These two men just helped me. They are outsiders looking for a place to live, so I thought of living next door."

His mother looked in the direction Goudan's finger was pointing, frowned slightly and said, "You're a stranger. I wonder if your uncle Gazi is willing to rent it. I'll go ask him for help."

In this way, Tang Xiaoyun and his friend settled down next door.

In order to get closer to Tang Xiaoyun, he would come over every time under the pretext of tutoring her studies. He was happy about it, but some people were not.

A thirteen-year-old child in a wealthy family would have already started planning marriages, and would have started a family and a career after coming of age.

So Mo Yu could see what Goudan was up to, so every time he came, he would have a cold face and clearly show that he was not welcome.

At this moment, Goudan saw Tang Xiaoyun and Mo Yu being intimate over there. He slammed his fist on the table and snorted coldly, "Hmph, I'm going back!"

Tang Xiaoyun was stunned. He glanced at the remaining snacks on the table and said hurriedly, "I'm going back now. You haven't finished your homework yet..."

Just as he was about to get up and chase after him, Mo Yu held him down and said in a somewhat unhappy tone: "He's such a big man, it's only a few steps away, how could he get lost?"

Tang Xiaoyun glared at him angrily and said unhappily, "You, you, why are you getting mad at a kid?"

"He's not some kid." Mo Yu muttered in displeasure.

Tang Xiaoyun didn't hear clearly: "What did you say?"

"Nothing, I'm tired, so I went inside to sleep."

Tang Xiaoyun glanced at Mo Yu's back, then turned back to look at Goudan's yard, wondering in his heart, "What the hell are these two doing today? They're all so crazy, one after another. Maybe they took the wrong medicine."

Seeing him so slow, the system couldn't help but complain: [Host, do you really not understand or are you pretending not to understand?]

Tang Xiaoyun was stunned: [Understand what? ]

The system sighed and asked quietly: [Host, is there tofu pudding in your head? ]

Tang Xiaoyun's forehead veins jumped, and he rolled his eyes and said, "Are you polite?"

The system shook its head and said in a helpless tone: [Ah, it's over. It seems that the road to catching up with your wife is long and difficult.]

Tang Xiaoyun didn't understand, because he never thought that Goudan would like him. After all, in his worldview, Goudan was still a child.

"Forget it. I can't explain it to you. I'd better go to the river to wash clothes."

The next morning, after Tang Xiaoyun made breakfast, he ate it, kept Mo Yu's portion warm in the pot, and prepared to go out.

At this moment, Goudan from next door also went out with a cloth bag on his back. When he saw Tang Xiaoyun, he immediately smiled and said, "Second Brother Tang, are you going out too?"

"Well, let's go to town today to see if there is any work."

"Then let's go together."

"good……"

He had just taken a few steps when a noise came from behind him.

“Bang—!”

Tang Xiaoyun was startled and turned around to see Mo Yu running out in a hurry without even having time to fasten his clothes.

He was stunned and asked, "What are you doing?"

Seeing that he hadn't left yet, Mo Yu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, turned her head away, and said with a slight blush on her ears, "I remembered that I have something to buy and I need to go to town too. Let's go together."

Hearing this, Tang Xiaoyun frowned, walked a few steps quickly to his side, and said in a low voice: "Just tell me what you want to buy, and I'll buy it for you. You'd better not show up easily."

After all, he wasn't sure whether the pursuers had found this place, so it was better to be careful.

But Mo Yu was determined to go with him. If he didn't keep a close eye on her, he would lose his wife.

“You don’t know what I want to buy…”

"That's why I asked you to tell me." Tang Xiaoyun looked at him strangely, thinking that this guy was really hot-tempered.

"No need, I'll buy it myself." Mo Yu said as he put on his clothes.

Goudan, who was waiting outside, saw the two of them whispering to each other, pouted, and urged, "Second Brother Tang, aren't you leaving yet?"

Tang Xiaoyun stared at Mo Yu for a while, and finally gave in: "Forget it, if you want to go, go ahead, but come back quickly after you buy something."

"…Um."

"Let's go. If we go too late, we might not be able to get a good job." Tang Xiaoyun urged.

Seeing Mo Yu also go out, Goudan secretly tightened his fingers around the bag and whispered, "Follower."

Mo Yu's ears twitched slightly, and he heard every word of the word "follower".

A dark light flashed in his eyes, and he suddenly stretched out his hand, clasped his five fingers together, and squeezed them into the gap between Tang Xiaoyun's fingers. The force of their entanglement was so strong that it almost hurt.

Such intimate behavior was particularly irritating to Goudan, and he bit his lips in anger.

The touch on his hands made Tang Xiaoyun stunned. He slowly looked at the hands tightly pressed together, his face slightly red as he said, "What are you doing? What does it look like for two men to hold hands?"

Even though he had come to terms with his feelings, he still felt a little embarrassed by such a blatant display of affection.

What's more, after losing his memory, Tan Tai Lie has never been so proactive. Every time he was the one who took the initiative to approach. Why is he so abnormal today?

Goudan felt Mo Yu's provocation, and he took Tang Xiaoyun's other hand without showing any weakness. He even took Tang Xiaoyun's hand and raised it up in front of him and waved it deliberately, as if to say: Look, I can hold hands too!
