Chapter 37 Thirty-Seven Slashes



Isn't that fierce? The waiter even called you the plague god.

But Xu Jiang, seeing his expression, changed her tone and said politely, "It does seem a bit inhumane."

"Inhumane?" It sounded even more aggrieved.

Lou Yunchun was silent for a moment before realizing that she didn't remember anything at all. He then let go of her hand, took a palm-sized brocade box from the shelf, and handed it to her.

"What?" Xu Jiang took it nervously, fearing that it was something valuable.

"Open."

Xu Jiang opened it as she was told, and then she was dumbfounded. She looked at Lou Yunchun in astonishment, "You not only stole the cat badge, but also my waist badge..."

She reached for her waist and found her badge was still there, she was stunned. Then, she stared at the badge in the brocade box for a moment and found that it was the original badge she had lost on the day she entered Beijing.

At that time, people thought it was unlucky to lose something on the first day of arriving in Beijing.

Why are you here with Lou Yunchun now?

No wonder when he saw her badge in the bookstore, he asked if Zhanchun was her pseudonym. He also wondered how he could recognize the words hidden in the printing plate even though they were so blurred.

I didn't expect there was such a reason.

"Why is it here?"

Lou Yunchun said gloomily, "The day you checked into the Yunlai Inn, your donkey cart hit my horse."

In a flash, Xu Jiang recalled the scene of that day.

She had just arrived in the capital that day, and it was Mid-Autumn Festival. All the inns in the districts were fully booked, so she wandered around all day before finally finding a room at the Yunlai Inn in Yonghe District. The stubborn donkey, having been carrying her luggage all day, became unhappy and kicked and ran wild in front of the inn, unexpectedly bumping into a guest who was about to enter with his horse.

The guest not only didn't blame her, but also helped her put away her scattered things. He left without asking for any reward or thanks. Xu Jiang was so exhausted from dealing with the stubborn donkey that she didn't see the man clearly. She just said thank you and let him pass.

That person was actually Lou Yunchun?

"This waist badge..."

"It got tangled in my badge when we passed each other."

He had originally intended to return it to her, but he was busy on business nearby and couldn't get away, and she was often away from home, leaving her at home late. As a result, he left the badge at the house and put it aside.

Later I had the chance to pay it back, but I didn’t want to.

"It was such a coincidence." She suddenly remembered the waist badge Lou Yunchun had given her. A guess flashed through her mind, and she picked up the waist badge in the brocade box and asked, "The waist badge you gave me, was it the one you twisted off that day?"

Lou Yunchun nodded.

Xu Jiang's heart pounded, and she couldn't describe the feeling for a moment.

Lou Yunchun held her hand and stroked the badge.

When I first met her, I felt it was not easy for the young lady to come to the inn with so many things. I never thought that she would build a house and nest in my heart, and refuse to leave once she landed.

The two stood looking at each other for a while before Xu Jiang said, "Since you've strangled it, keep it well."

Lou Yunchun put the waist badge back into the brocade box, and touched the one on her waist again, and found that although the two waist badges had the same style, the engravings were different.

Then he asked, "Isn't that the one you carved?"

Xu Jiang lowered his eyes and looked at it. "My master carved it." He added, "My master is Zhe Yun."

It was really fate, as if it were God's will, that it fell into his hands.
