Chapter 4: I am afraid of being alone at night

The Chi family's concerns about Ye Man's misconduct are not groundless.

Others may not know, but Ye Man knows clearly what he is like in his heart.

He knew from a young age that he was good-looking. Every time he went out, as long as he raised his face and smiled sweetly at the uncles and aunts passing by, he would always get a circle of compliments, and occasionally even some snacks such as jelly and chocolate.

Having tasted the sweetness, at a young age, he has already mastered the use of his face and mouth.

At that time, there was a pair of grandparents living next door. The little girl's parents had rarely been around, but her grandmother loved her very much. The little girl looked like she had been spoiled from a small family, raised in a honey pot, innocent and naive, wearing a beautiful skirt, always holding a lollipop in her hand, with foreign characters on the candy wrapper that Ye Man did not recognize.

By chance, Ye Man heard Ye Guowen say that it was an imported brand and they couldn't buy it here at all. He also guessed that the little girl's parents must be very rich, and didn't know why they would live in their old and shabby building.

The candy looks really bright and beautiful, and the candy wrapper is also beautiful.

Ye Guowen became addicted to gambling when Ye Man was three years old. He did not go out to work, and the family relied on the 2,000 yuan a month that Ye's mother earned as a textile worker. The family lived a tight life. Ye Man had never seen such good things in his life, and he was very greedy.

So one day, when the little girl was playing with sand alone in a park near her home, he put on an innocent face, pretended to talk to the girl casually, pretended to make friends with her, and finally used the rabbit in the sandbox to trick the girl out of the candy.

How can such a worthless thing as the rabbit from the sandbank be exchanged for imported sugar?

So Ye Man lied to her and said that he was actually a magician with a hidden identity, and the rabbit he bred was not an ordinary rabbit, and when his magic power was fully developed in the future, this rabbit would move.

The girl was stupid and Ye Manyu didn't believe such words. She was already seven years old and could still be fooled by him. She reluctantly handed over the lollipop in her hand.

The two agreed that Ye Man would teach her "rabbit magic" here every evening, and the fee for becoming her apprentice was a lollipop.

In this way, the great magician Ye tricked a disciple into paying tribute on time every day.

Under the fiery red sunset in the evening, Ye Man sat on the swing, leisurely eating the girl's candy, directing the girl to play sand in the sandpit, and laughing at her stupidity in his heart.

Later, something happened and many police cars came in the middle of the night. The girl and her grandmother were taken away by her parents overnight and never came back. Before leaving, the fool was still thinking about the rabbit magic that he had not yet mastered, and cried bitterly.

There was also the proprietress of a snail noodle shop who, seeing that he was too young, originally did not want to employ him, but Ye Man immediately made up a story that would make anyone heartbroken cry, and tricked the proprietress into crying so hard that she dried up a pack of tissues, and she ended up keeping him as a half-charity.

There are countless such incidents, big and small.

Relying on these two weapons, Ye Man can always achieve his goals and is invincible.

He relied on his good looks to pretend to be gentle and harmless, but in fact he was sinister, narrow-minded, greedy, and a man of lies, full of evil intentions.

He wanted Chi Jue's things, not because he understood how valuable the things Chi Jue had were, but out of pure jealousy and resentment. Originally, everything Chi Jue had was supposed to be his, and no matter what Chi Jue took from the Chi family, Ye Man was petty and resentful in his heart.

Although it was not Chi Jue who could decide whether to blame someone for something he had done wrong, he was also innocent. No one was wrong in this matter, and no one did it on purpose. It was just an oolong that happened by accident. People with some sense should not blame Chi Jue, but Ye Man was unreasonable.

He is already a vicious cannon fodder, how can he be such a reasonable person? The system really found the right person.

He just pretends to be sensible in order to win the favor of people around him, but he is not really sensible.

......

The door of the room.

Hearing Ye Man's flattering answer, Chi Jue raised his eyebrows without saying a word.

"Then I'll make the choice. You're not allowed to get angry even if you don't like it. You've worked hard today. You should go to bed early and don't play too late. Got it?"

Ye Man felt a little disappointed.

Did he know that he had been "swimming" in the big bathtub in the room until late at night?

The room the Chi family gave him was very big. It was bigger than his entire home before. There was an extra-large bathtub in the bathroom, which was super beautiful. Ye Man, who was naive, happily splashed around in it for several hours for several days in a row.

But then I thought about it and it seemed impossible.

He cleaned up everything after playing, so there was no way he would be discovered.

Ye Man's shrunken chest straightened up again.

He moved his ears. There was no one around at the moment, and he couldn't help but let out the bad feelings in his heart.

Even though he knew that if he continued to do bad things, he would end up in a miserable situation, but after all, it is difficult to change one's nature.

Seeing Chi Jue act like a noble young master and a gentle brother in front of him, he wanted to do something to bully him.

As long as Chi Jue is not having a good time, he will be happy.

As soon as the poison water came out, Ye Man deliberately put on an embarrassed and shy expression: "You don't have to spend money, second brother. The watch that Dad gave you a few days ago is quite good. I just happen to be in need of a watch. Why don't you give me the watch that Dad gave you as my birthday present?"

The system hesitated to speak.

I don’t know if it’s because Ye Man mentioned the tacky short drama before, but it always feels that what Ye Man said is... weird, and has a very cannon fodder flavor.

"Ye Man......"

Ye Man: "Brother Tong, don't worry about me. If he dares to get angry and yell at me, I will go to my eldest brother tomorrow and cry and complain that he bullied me and made things difficult for me!"

"no......"

Chi Jue: "Xiao Man, it's not that I don't want to give it to you..."

Chi Jue paused and thought for a moment, "I'll buy you a new one."

Hearing footsteps coming upstairs, Ye Man immediately pretended to be wronged: "Brother is unwilling to give me things, and it's reasonable. I'm not sensible. Just pretend I didn't say anything. Good night."

The whole process was to leave and close the store.

Mother Zhou was left holding the hot milk and looking at them in confusion.

"Second Master?"

Chi Jue pressed his forehead, took the milk from Aunt Zhou's hand, knocked on the door, put the tray beside the door, and whispered, "Xiao Man, Aunt Zhou brought you some milk, don't forget to take it in before it gets cold."

After waiting for a while, there was a response from inside, and Chi Jue left.

After a while, the door opened with a click, and a hand stretched out from inside and quickly took the milk on the ground in.

Close the door.

The system slowly added the second half of the sentence: "Host, you are a blind person, what do you need a mechanical watch for? You can't see."

Just when Ye Man was about to ask himself if he had performed well and bullied the protagonist to the point of tears, he said: "......"

Ye Man blushed.

He was holding the milk in one hand and the mobile phone in the other, trying to contact the quick messaging that Chi Yan had taught him today. Since he was not very familiar with the accessibility function of the mobile phone, when the system said this, his fingers got confused and he accidentally clicked on other software.

All I heard was a burst of fast-paced music with intense drum beats coming from the room.

A male voice said in a sinister tone, "Don't spend money, big brother. The watch that grandpa gave you the day before yesterday is pretty good. I happen to be in need of a watch. Why don't you give me this one?"

Another male voice said angrily: "Li Liu, you are going too far! That is my mother's legacy!"

Ye Man: “…”

System: "......"

Ye Man's face turned even redder.

I hurriedly closed the page, but accidentally switched to another drama.

I only heard a female voice saying sadly: "Divorce! I want a divorce! Li Jue, you knew that my grandma has Alzheimer's disease and needs someone to take care of her, but you left her alone at home to celebrate Bai Yueguang's birthday. Now she is seriously injured in the gas explosion and is in the hospital. My grandma is the only relative I have left! If anything happens to her, I want you and your Bai Yueguang to pay for her life!"

System: "......"

Ye Manman turned off her phone in panic.

The thumping sound finally stopped.

The room fell into deathly silence.

Ye Man: TAT

"Brother Tong, you are my dear brother Tong, please give me another chance!"

System:)

"Brother Tong, please don't be silent!"

Ye Man was so anxious that he was sweating.

He fell to the ground, groaning. This time he remembered to cover his right hand. His eyes turned red, even more miserable than the heroine whose grandmother was seriously injured and hospitalized. "I, I'm just scared. A broken leg hurts so much. I can't walk without a leg. It's so miserable. I won't be able to find a job or a partner in the future. No one will want me. It's so pitiful..."

The system snorted.

It finally understood that Ye Man was exactly the same as the vicious cannon fodder it had led before!

"Stop pretending. I'm going back to the headquarters. We can talk tomorrow if there's anything else."

Ye Man paused, his face became more panicked, and his voice became more pitiful and weak: "Brother Tong, don't leave, I'm scared to be alone at night..."

The system sneered.

Edit and edit again.

Anyone who believes him again is a fool!

"...Brother Tong?"

The room was quiet.

My mind calmed down again.

Brother Tong is gone.

Ye Man sat on the ground, bit her lower lip, turned her head alertly, and tried hard to open her lifeless eyes, trying to see the surrounding scene clearly.

Darkness and silence came over him like a tide.

The room was large and empty. A leaf suddenly blew down from outside the French window, startling him and making his shoulders shudder.

Ye Man muttered as he got up: "I'm really scared."

He stood there for a while, feeling troubled by the large bed in the middle of the room with no walls on either side.

Relying on his dim vision, Ye Man locked the closet on one side, and immediately and enthusiastically dragged the quilt and pillow, moving them to the closet with great effort. In the middle of the process, he tripped and fell because he couldn't see clearly.

He rubbed his sore nose, sat there sobbing and called out "Brother Tong" twice. No one responded, so he got up and continued his moving project.

Finally, he successfully rolled up the quilt and nestled into a corner of the dark and narrow closet, with his back pressed tightly against the closet door on both sides. Ye Man breathed a sigh of relief, and his grievance-frowned brows relaxed.

I thought I wouldn't have to sleep in the closet today.

Brother Tong is so stingy. I just cheated him once. Why is he even more petty than this vicious cannon fodder?

Ye Man muttered something about the system in his heart, and soon, he fell into a deep sleep.
