In the bar, Jiang Yuansheng sat listlessly in a corner, next to a tomboy who kept apologizing.
"I'm so sorry, I thought I'd run into a thug!" Yu Xiaoan apologized to Jiang Yuan with both hands on her hands and a look of remorse.
"Boss, I've run into some thugs, okay?" This was the first time Jiang Yuan had been hit and then accused of something in return.
“No one usually comes in the morning, I didn’t know you would be here at this time…” Yu Xiaoan put on a wronged expression.
Seeing her like this, Jiang Yuan lost his temper and could only say, "I didn't expect an NPC like you to act pitiful and cute. You're quite like a human!"
Yu Xiaoan was initially apologetic, but upon hearing this, she became furious. This bastard could recognize Liu Zhaodi even in the Apocalypse World, so why couldn't he recognize her? Moreover, she had already given such an obvious hint, yet this guy still didn't understand.
"Unforgivable!"
Yu Xiaoan said it after thinking about it for a while.
"Ah! Unforgivable? Are you talking about me or yourself?" Jiang Yuan was afraid of the crazy woman and became more cautious.
"You skipped work again last night! Do you think I'm an easy boss to bully?" Yu Xiaoan's expression changed completely, showing none of the aggrieved look she had when she made a mistake and hit someone before.
Jiang Yuan: "..."
"I got drunk today because of you, I hit you because of you, and even now I'm apologizing because of you! Tell me, aren't you unforgivable?" Yu Xiaoan started arguing.
"My beauty, who are you chatting with? I have some good news to tell you..."
With a bang, the door was violently pushed open, and with the arrival of another person, the three stared at each other in disbelief.
"Little ghost, what are you doing here?" Liu Zhaodi, who had just been smiling, suddenly fell silent, and it was obvious who she was targeting.
"Then what are you doing here?" Jiang Yuan sensed something unusual. It seemed that Liu Zhaodi had a particularly special relationship with this Central Plains Inspector. He gradually came to the answer in his mind.
Liu Zhaodi must have deliberately messed with him! Otherwise, why would this NPC target him like this?
"I've come...to have a drink," Liu Zhaodi said, nodding as she spoke, seemingly emphasizing her words.
“I’m here to drink too!” Jiang Yuan replied in return.
But he was immediately proven wrong when Yu Xiaoan exposed him, saying, "You're here to work because you still owe me fragments of rules!"
"Hahaha, you've been proven wrong!" Liu Zhaodi covered her mouth and chuckled.
Jiang Yuan: "..."
Three women make a drama, but there are only two of them, and they're already singing and acting in harmony.
“Honey, let me tell you, I got the job today! I’ll be teaching that idiot the three obediences and four virtues soon. Isn’t that something to be happy about?” Liu Zhaodi said to Jiang Yuan without any restraint.
Yu Xiaoan smiled in agreement, but when she turned to look at Jiang Yuan, her face remained stern: "What are you still looking at? Aren't you going to serve this Goddess a drink?"
Jiang Yuan's lips twitched. He could only sigh inwardly at Liu Zhaodi's cleverness, then muttered, "Yes, yes, the customer is always right!"
After venting his frustrations, Jiang Yuan obediently went to get some wine for Liu Zhaodi.
However, he insisted on listening to Liu Zhaodi's veiled criticisms. He hadn't known before that Liu Zhaodi harbored so much resentment towards him.
He inexplicably neglected her, kept everything bottled up inside until he couldn't hide it from her anymore, never asked for her opinion, and always made decisions for her unilaterally. Most importantly, this bastard inexplicably made her the other woman, and even gave her a five-year-old daughter.
"Little Ghost, tell me, isn't the person this Goddess Sister is cursing a bastard?" Yu Xiaoan, who was acting as a confidante, suddenly asked Jiang Yuan to answer.
Jiang Yuan: "..."
At this moment, Jiang Yuan began to wonder if the two of them were working together to mess with him. Was it even polite of them to ask such a question?
"All crows are black, and if you ask a man, he'll feel wronged!" Liu Zhaodi downed her drink in one gulp, as if she didn't care to know the answer.
"Hey boss, didn't you keep pestering me to talk about the most important person in my life?" Jiang Yuan put down the items he was holding, then pulled up a stool and floated on it, saying leisurely, "I feel really good right now, can we continue?"
"Now?" Yu Xiaoan didn't expect this guy to pull this stunt.
Jiang Yuan ignored Yu Xiaoan, the NPC. In his eyes, Yu Xiaoan was just a virtual character in the world of Apocalypse. Even if she knew, it wouldn't matter. So he simply said, "I once met a very bold girl, so bold that it surprised me!"
“That’s not being bold, it’s just that people dare to love and hate!” Liu Zhaodi was very dissatisfied with the word “bold.”
"Yes, this girl who dares to love and hate formed an inextricable bond with me from the very first meeting. From initial impatience to doing missions together, and then to developing feelings for her, the process was truly wonderful." Jiang Yuan's tone grew softer and softer, even though the ghost's spirit could not utter a voice full of deep affection.
"So how did you two get together?" Yu Xiaoan's eyes gleamed with gossip.
“A two-way journey!” Jiang Yuan couldn’t help but smile when he said this, his eyes shining as he said, “She made me realize that you can wait for someone for a long time, but you can’t wait forever. Even if the other person takes ninety-nine steps, you still have to take the last step yourself.”
"So, I took that step, and for the rest of my life, I will be the one to walk closer to her!"
Jiang Yuan remembered every word he heard, and these were his heartfelt words.
Yu Xiaoan, always eager for drama, seized the moment when Liu Zhaodi was emotional and teased, "Blood Rose, why are your eyes red when he's talking about his girlfriend?"
