Fan Zhiyi walked into the yard, sat down on a stone bench, and yawned listlessly.
Ah Yu floated over and stared at him: "You can be bought off with just one sentence? You are useless, huh."
"What the hell? This is called a man who knows the times is a hero." Fan Zhiyi refuted her, then sighed softly.
He An said that he would continue training in the evening. According to Bing Nandong, they would not come to pick him up until this time tomorrow morning, which meant that he would have to be tortured twice.
But actually, Fan Zhiyi originally wanted to exercise properly. He had been exploited every day since he started working and it was painful enough that he had no time or mood to exercise. After get off work, he just wanted to lie on the bed.
Besides, the world is full of dangers now. If he doesn't run fast, his life will be in danger. He should also learn some self-defense skills, otherwise he will waste a good thing when he holds the dagger and doesn't know how to use it.
Fan Zhiyi nodded as he thought about it. Next time, he would confront the ghost head-on.
No way, next time, he will run faster, this should be his eternal pursuit.
In this case, it's actually quite good to have He An supervising him. At least he won't want to slack off. The only thing is whether he can proceed step by step and be more considerate of his actual situation.
"Ah, Xiao Hei!" A Yu floated over excitedly.
Fan Zhiyi became alert upon hearing this. He followed A Yu's trail and found the little black cat that had disappeared for the whole day. It was lying on the ground lazily basking in the sun. When it heard A Yu calling it, it meowed indifferently.
Fan Zhiyi walked over, stretched out a finger and tapped its head. Seeing that it wasn't aggressive towards him, he felt relieved and petted the cat boldly: "You named him Xiao Hei?"
"Yes, a nickname is easier to keep. When I first saw it at Xue's house, it looked so pitiful. I wanted it not to be like me, so I named it Xiao Hei." A Yu replied.
Fan Zhiyi nodded. Some modern rural areas also have this custom. Children will be given a simple nickname and then a full name for household registration.
"How about Xiao Hei as the nickname and Chang Ming as the full name?"
Ah Yu glanced at Fan Zhiyi with disdain: "Long life, pay with your life, it's not auspicious at all, okay?"
"That's called longevity?"
"You're already famous now, can you be a little more aesthetic?"
"That's a lot of requests." Fan Zhiyi racked his brains and scratched the cat's chin. "A thousand-year-old turtle is a ten-thousand-year-old tortoise. So why not just call it Tortoise? Do you like it, Xiao Hei?"
Ah Yu: “…”
The little black cat scratched Fan Zhiyi and ran away. Fan Zhiyi looked at the new wound on the back of his hand, feeling sweetness in the pain.
Ah Yu scolded him and said he deserved it: "Look, even Xiao Hei doesn't agree."
"So what's your name?"
"I chose the nickname, and I'll leave the real name to you." A Yu chose to be a hands-off boss.
Fan Zhiyi thought for a while but couldn't think of any other name, so he happily decided to throw the naming task to Bing Nandong.
Fan Zhiyi felt a little sleepy in the afternoon. After all, he had gotten up too early in the morning, so he slept until dinner time. In order to prepare for He An's devilish training later, he even ate an extra bowl of rice.
After dinner, I went out for a walk, greeted the aunties and refused to join their gossip and chat.
The conversation we had yesterday really brought out some of his flaws.
The leisurely life now is exactly what Fan Zhiyi has always dreamed of. Apart from the training later, Fan Zhiyi feels like he is dreaming. The life-and-death struggle of the past few days does not seem real at all.
However, when the time came, he did not wait for He An, but instead waited for Bing Nandong who came in the dusk. The burning red sunset fell behind him, creating a gorgeous picture.
Fan Zhiyi couldn't understand why Bing Nandong came again, and stared at him in a daze.
However, Bing Nandong did not intend to give him a chance to react and directly threw him an oil-paper bag.
As soon as Fan Zhiyi caught it, a sweet, floral aroma came over him. He subconsciously asked, "What is this?"
"Osmanthus cake. I happened to meet an old lame man on the road, and I bought it out of kindness. I don't like sweets, so I'll give it to you."
"oh."
Bing Nandong turned and walked a few steps, then stopped and looked back at him: "You're not leaving?"
"Ah? Ah! Let's go! Wait for me to go back and get something!"
Fan Zhiyi had previously taken down his Qiankun bag and placed it beside the bed, worried it would be inconvenient to carry during training. Now he took it out and tied it up again. Besides that, he had nothing else to take with him. If possible, he wanted to grab some cakes to take with him.
Seeing him rushing over, Bing Nandong couldn't help but say, "Don't worry. Remember to always carry your Qiankun bag with you. People's hearts can't stand the test, and murder and treasure-stealing incidents happen from time to time."
"Okay, then can I find another person and a cat?" Since there was no rush, Fan Zhiyi planned to press the issue further.
Bing Nandong: "..."
Fan Zhiyi took it as his tacit agreement and called out to Ayu, who was squatting on the roadside watching the ants move: "Xiaoyu, let's go!"
"Okay."
The person Fan Zhiyi was actually looking for was He An. Since he was leaving, he should at least tell him something.
After all, He An was really good to him, and it was because of He An that he and Bing Nandong were saved in the beginning, although no one expected that things would turn out like that later.
After asking a few servants, he finally learned that He An and Zhuang Yujing had not returned since they went out. Fan Zhiyi decided to go find Xiao Hei first. If He An still hadn't returned after finding him, he would not wait any longer and ask the aunties to help him pass on a message.
Speaking of Xiao Hei, Ah Yu was definitely more familiar with him, so Fan Zhiyi asked her, "Xiao Yu, where is Xiao Hei usually at this time?"
Ah Yu waved his hand mysteriously: "Follow me."
Finally, it was found on the lawn behind the window of Fan Zhiyi's room.
Xiao Hei is as the name suggests, the cat's fur is pure black without a trace of impurities, and it almost blends into the darkness at night. If it weren't for its emerald eyes, Fan Zhiyi would hardly be able to see it.
Fan Zhiyi carefully approached and squatted, mumbling like a mantra: "I'll just hold you for a moment. You see, I've never held you properly. This might be the last time we meet, so Master Cat, just consider it as fulfilling my wish."
"Meow~"
Fan Zhiyi was overjoyed and couldn't help rubbing the cat when he picked it up.
Ah Yu watched with envy. What could be more painful than having a cat right in front of you but not being able to pet it? "Ah, I want to hold it too. But Zhiyi, aren't you planning on taking Xiao Hei with you?"
Fan Zhiyi stood up slowly, without answering, thinking.
Suddenly, the cat's eyes lit up, and it broke free from Fan Zhiyi and pounced on Bing Nandong, hanging in Bing Nandong's arms, and meowed softly.
Fan Zhiyi: "..." In this day and age, even cats are served based on appearance. He is handsome too, okay?
Bing Nandong, on the other hand, had not expected this to happen. He was in a panic and could only drag the cat hanging on his body with both hands. He didn't know what to do. He looked at Fan Zhiyi with a bit of bewilderment: "Fan Zhiyi."
