Chapter 48: If he continues to be so awesome next time, even his ancestors will be fooled by him...

"Brother Tong, do you understand? I feel so bad right now."

Ye Man never thought that he was bad at talking, but when he was not allowed to say those nonsense, he suddenly didn't know how to express himself. He was so anxious that he felt like a cat was scratching the door in his heart.

The system said in a calm tone: "Stop talking. I feel worse than you right now."

It was a tone that completely expressed a chill in the heart.

Ye Man's choked voice turned into doubt: "Why?"

Why can I?

The system wanted to project the appearance of the old gangster in front of him directly into his mind, and then give him a mirror to let him take a good look at what he looks like now, and then let him see what the expression of the person opposite him is.

He had such a pitiful yet heartbroken expression, begging the other person not to get hurt. He was blind, and if the other person couldn't help it and wanted to do something to him, he would have to be held down and tasted thoroughly before he could realize what was happening, let alone avoid it in advance -

"ah!"

The system emits a cry of alarm.

Ye Man was frightened by him, "What's wrong? What happened?"

"Leaves, leaves, leaves—"

"ah?"

Ye Man was confused and alert as he turned his head, trying to find the terrifying existence that made Brother Tong make such a sound.

Yes, there is a ghost?

That's right.

In the middle of the night, in the mountains, it was raining...

Just as he was halfway through his horrific thoughts, a warm, dry hand lifted his face, interrupting the horrific image in his mind.

The torrential rain that had been pouring down all day finally died down towards night, leaving only a few drizzles falling.

A cool breeze blew across his cheek, and hot breath followed closely against his lips. Ye Man opened his eyes wide in vain, but still could not clearly understand the other person's actions.

When the breath seemed to be getting closer, he closed his eyes subconsciously.

It was different from what he thought.

He kissed the tip of his nose first, then his thin, trembling eyelids, and finally his forehead.

Each movement was so light that it seemed as if it was touching the flowers outside the courtyard wall that were shattered by the heavy rain.

A finger pressed the corner of his mouth, slightly bruising the wound. The pain made Ye Man shiver.

“Tsk.”

The breath that was lingering around him slowly faded away, allowing the air from outside to flow in again.

It should be over.

Ye Man opened her eyes and crumpled the hem of her clothes into a ball.

The system let out a longer sigh.

Ye Man had no time to think about it.

I heard Xu Huaiting ask him: "Don't you want me to get hurt?"

The ancestor always asks questions like this even though he already knows the answer. He has already said it, but he still asks again. It is really bad.

"Um......"

"I don't make promises to others easily, because once I make a promise I must keep it, right?"

"Um......"

"I promise you now. Just because you've put another shackle on me, whatever I do in the future I have to think about what you said today, and my promise that you won't get hurt. I can no longer act carelessly and recklessly, um..." He murmured in distress.

Ye Man couldn't help but ask, "Isn't this a good idea?"

"No," Xu Huaiting said, "What if I accidentally forget and break my promise to you without your knowledge? My conscience will be condemned, unless..."

"unless?"

"Unless you supervise me."

Ye Man was stunned.

"When I forget something I promised you, remind me and stop me in time. With you watching me personally, the chances of me making mistakes should be greatly reduced. Wouldn't that solve the problem in the best of both worlds?"

"To prevent me from making a promise to you and then getting hurt for no reason, thus violating my promise and owing you money."

"I can still find a way to pay off this debt once or twice, but over time, the debt piles up and I am unable to pay it back... Mr. Creditor, if this really happens, what do you think I should do?"

Ye Man opened his mouth and thought, is it so serious?

He hadn't thought there was this layer.

Xu Huaiting smiled and pulled the man up: "It's okay, you take your time to think about it, and tell me when you're done. Verbal guarantees are not guaranteed. We can still sign an agreement then. If I can't do it, you can still come to me with the contract to claim compensation. Don't worry, I promise not to let you suffer any loss."

"Ah..." Ye Man responded dizzily.

"Let's go, it's late, let's go home."

......

When he was about to go back, Xu Huaiting discovered that his mobile phone was broken. The screen was cracked and it didn't respond no matter how he pressed it.

"Xiao Man, did you call me?"

It would have been fine if he didn't mention this. As soon as he did, Ye Man's nose felt sore again.

He immediately complained: "I called you several times, but you didn't answer."

Xu Huaiting touched his head and said, "My phone is broken. I didn't mean to ignore your call. I'm sorry to have made you worry."

Ye Man rubbed his hand calmly, and then started to talk rudely: "You don't know, I'm alone in a strange place, I don't know anyone, and I can't go anywhere else. Do you know how scared I am? You didn't answer my call. What if something happened to you? I can't go to find you. I don't even know what you look like. I don't even know how to tell the police..."

The more he spoke, the more sad he became about the situation he described.

"I'm so worried about you. I'm so worried that I can't eat or drink. I'm so pitiful, wuwu..."

If he could see it, he would have sneaked a peek at Xu Huaiting's expression through his fingers.

In his heart, he was a little unsure whether his well-informed ancestor would fall for his tricks.

The result was unexpectedly successful.

Xu Huaiting stroked his hair and said, "It's so pitiful. How can we make it right? Oh, by the way, the villa next door to my house is for sale soon. It has a nice view. I'll buy it and give it to you."

Ye Man's ears perked up, and he urgently poked the system in his mind: "Brother Tong, Brother Tong, he wants to give me a villa! It's very expensive, right!"

System: "Not bad, just three royal blues."

Ye Man couldn't cry anymore.

Reluctantly, he said, "No, no, no, it's not that pitiful. I'll just say..."

Oh no, he has been too powerful recently, and has been fooled by his ancestors.

......

Around seven o'clock in the evening, Ye Man called Chi Yan and said that he would be back late. Now he called again before leaving.

Chi Yan was not so easy to fool. After a few questions, she got him to reveal that he was with Xu Huaiting and asked him to give the phone to Xu Huaiting. The two of them talked for a few words, and the phone was returned to him. Ye Man picked up the phone nervously, but Chi Yan didn't say anything. She just told him not to play too late and told him very seriously that he couldn't stay out overnight.

After getting in the car, Ye Man sneezed.

He was in such a hurry when he came out of the supermarket that he forgot to put on his coat. He was wearing only one piece of clothing. There was a group of people behind him in a mess, and he didn't know where his coat had gone. He stood outside for a while and was soaked by the rain. Fortunately, the heater in the car was turned on high. Ye Man estimated in his heart that he would be dried after a while.

After a while, Ye Man changed into Xu Huaiting's black turtleneck sweater, and his own pullover was put on Xu Huaiting.

The piece of clothing that Xu Huaiting was wearing inside his coat got a little wet when he was hugging Ye Man, but it was dried up early during this period by his body temperature.

Just change their clothes.

Ye Man didn't agree at first. Xu Huaiting asked him to take off his clothes. Ye Man couldn't believe it, thinking he had heard it wrong, and shook his head vigorously.

Xu Huaiting still held him down, saying, "Don't move. I'll change clothes with you."

He quickly took off his wet and cold clothes, and then put his dry sweater on Ye Man.

Ye Man changed her clothes before she could even say a word. Her hair was messed up and she looked a little dazed.

Soon warmth spread throughout the body.

It's okay if you keep wearing wet clothes. You won't die if you wear them for a while. Will they be dry if you dry them out?

Now that it’s warm, who would want to wear wet clothes again?

Ye Man was silent for a while, then said thank you awkwardly.

After saying this, he pretended to be considerate and reminded her, "Then don't catch a cold."

Xu Huaiting was putting his clothes on himself. The clothes were a little small and tight for him, so it took some effort.

Hearing this, he raised his eyebrows: "Why don't you return my clothes to me?"

Ye Man immediately pulled Xu Huaiting's clothes tightly on his body and shook his head vigorously, as if Xu Huaiting could really snatch his clothes from him.

Xu Huaiting narrowed his eyes and looked at the person wearing his clothes openly.

As I looked at it, I couldn't help but want to just put it in a sack and take it back home.

The living ancestor's clothes were much bigger for Ye Man, with long sleeves and hem. Ye Man seemed to be crawling into a woolen blanket.

After changing into dry clothes and feeling the warm breeze, Ye Man's cold body gradually warmed up and he began to feel so sleepy that he could not open his eyes.

Xu Huaiting glanced to his side and saw Ye Man with half of his face buried in his collar, curled up in the seat, sleeping soundly.

When I came to my senses, I realized I had taken the wrong road.

This is the way to his house, in the opposite direction to Chi’s house.

Tsk.

There was an unhappy sound in my heart.

Had to turn back at the next intersection.

......

It was almost twelve o'clock when he got home, and Chi Jue was waiting for him at the door. When the two of them walked into the living room, they heard some movement from the direction of the kitchen.

Qin Fangrui had fallen asleep on the table and was startled by the sound and sat up.

Chi Jue had been waiting at the door more than half an hour in advance. After picking up Ye Man, he came back and saw Qin Fangrui was there too. He was a little surprised for a moment, but he soon understood something and calmed down.

Qin Fangrui stood there, feeling a little awkward: "Xiaoman, you're back. I made some ginger soup. Would you like to drink some later?"

Ye Man didn't expect Qin Fangrui to be still awake so late. He felt a little uneasy and didn't respond immediately. Chi Jue shook his hand.

Ye Mancai said, "Well...drink."

Qin Fangrui smiled happily: "Then go take a shower and change your clothes first, I'll bring them to you later."

Ye Man returned to the room, took a quick shower, changed his clothes, and waited for a while before there was a knock on the door.

Qin Fangrui brought him ginger soup.

Ye Man stood at the door and said thank you, Mom.

Qin Fangrui hesitated and asked him if she could come in and sit for a while.

Ye Man nodded in confusion, wondering, "Brother Tong, why did she ask me if she could come in?"

"Shouldn't I ask?"

Ye Man: "I don't know either. My house is small. My mom made a small room for me in the kitchen. It doesn't have a door. People usually come in casually without saying hello to me."

"I've been in the Chi family for such a long time, and no one has ever broken in!" he shared with the system excitedly.

"Brother Tong, I think I don't need to hide my treasure chest. It seems that no one will break in and look through my things! What do you think, Brother Tong?"

Every time he had to take out his treasure chest, pack it up, and hide it back, it was a lot of work for a blind man like him.

If he wasn't afraid that once he left, the things would be gone when he came back, he wouldn't have done such a complicated operation.

The system inhales with a hiss.

Just tell me what he's doing every time.

Lower your voice and say, "You don't have to hide it. If you like, you can put it out there where you can easily get to it. You can touch it anytime. You can do whatever you want."

Ye Many hesitated for a moment, but finally rejected the suggestion. He still felt that it would be more reassuring to put everything in the box, but then he wouldn't have to find a place to hide the box.

After drinking the ginger soup, his body felt a little warmer. He chatted briefly with Qin Fangrui, not saying too much. She just talked about where they had been during the day. Seeing that Ye Man was sleepy, Qin Fangrui took the empty bowl and reached out to touch his head.

"Go to bed early, good night."

Ye Man nodded.

The system began to read stories to him. Ye Man was learning, and the system also learned how to read stories with emotion.

Ye Man was almost asleep when he suddenly remembered something. He got up, pulled the sweater he had just changed into the quilt, and rubbed it in his arms.

"Brother Tong, keep trying next time, you will definitely succeed, believe me..."
