The woman smiled and replied, "It's very late today, and it's almost dawn. Why don't you all have breakfast at our house before you leave?"
"My husband and I only have this one wish, so please be patient with us."
Indeed, there is no such thing as wealth without effort.
Judging from the owner's behavior and hospitality, this kind of person deserves to be rich.
They do things in a way that makes people uncomfortable or overly aggressive, handling everything just right.
I took out my phone and saw that it was indeed the one!
When the master and the others were fighting the female ghost, they didn't realize how quickly time had passed.
Six hours have passed since we first entered the house.
Even the sky was beginning to lighten.
The woman spoke again, saying, "Please have a simple meal here, everyone. I'm about to cook something."
"Please try my cooking."
I thought my master would refuse, but to my surprise, he nodded in agreement:
"Then I'll have to trouble you!"
"Captain Xu, why don't you have a bite here too?"
"Xiao Xi, why don't you go and help out?"
After hearing my master's words, I responded with a "yes":
"Yes, Master."
I turned around and followed the woman named Ruonan.
Later I learned that the woman's surname was Wang.
Wang Ruonan's refrigerator was fully stocked, so they randomly picked a few items and got busy with chores together.
I naturally wouldn't refuse my master's instructions.
After all, in my heart, my master is just as important as my father.
If my father is the one who gave me life, then my master is the one who saved my soul.
I was lucky to meet my master on that street, and I was also lucky to make that decision.
If I choose to finish my studies in an ordinary way and get into my ideal graduate school, my life will just be an ordinary one.
She is no different from any other person in this vast sea of people.
I hate following the crowd.
In other words, I hate that kind of life where I'm neither good enough for high-end jobs nor good enough for low-end ones.
After Wang Ruonan and I finished cooking, we put the dishes on the dining table in the living room.
Wang Ruonan specially made an extra portion and brought it upstairs to Chen Yongchao.
The woman's child's formal name is Chen Lin, and her nickname is Chen Xiaoya.
Chen Xiaoya has a pair of cute dimples, which makes her very likable.
At the dinner table, the woman kept thanking us.
Thinking about it, it makes sense. If it were me, I probably would have done the same thing as Wang Ruonan.
After breakfast, we left Wang Ruonan's house.
Of course, Xu Yuan and his group didn't leave. They still needed to deal with the fake Taoist's body and some other follow-up matters.
Having not slept for a day and a night, I didn't feel it until I got into my master's car, when a wave of drowsiness washed over me.
I could tell that Master and Wu Shi were somewhat tired.
I suggested, "Master, you and Senior Brother Wu must be tired. Why don't we find a place to rest for a while?"
"Driving while fatigued is also not very safe."
After listening to my words, my master thought about it for a while and finally decided to take my advice.
I can see that even an energetic master has his limits.
The master, who hadn't slept for a day and a night, and was also fighting a female ghost at night, must have been quite exhausted.
We booked two rooms by the hour.
My master and Wu Shi shared a room, while I had a room to myself.
As I lay down on the bed, my eyelids became unusually heavy, and before I knew it, I had lost consciousness.
When I opened my eyes again, I looked at the dimly lit room and rubbed them.
I walked to the window and drew back the curtains, letting the sunlight stream through and fall on my face.
It was clear that it was already bright outside.
I quickly washed my face, straightened my Taoist robe, and slowly walked out of the room.
Just then, in the corridor, a little girl of about twelve or thirteen years old, carrying a pink backpack, looked around as if searching for something.
I was a little curious, so I went up and asked:
"Little sister, is there anything I can help you with?"
The little girl was clearly taken aback when I spoke to her; her expression showed a moment of surprise.
"Oh no! My bunny doll is lost! I can't find it anywhere, sister. Have you seen it?"
"Huh? A rabbit doll, you mean this?" I asked, pointing to the little girl's back.
When the little girl heard what I said, her eyes widened and she put her little hands on her back and started groping around.
He grabbed one of the rabbit doll's arms and pulled the whole doll out.
It turned out that the little girl's bunny doll was hanging in a hidden compartment on the side of her backpack.
The little girl scratched her head somewhat awkwardly:
"Thank you, sister. I forgot that I put the rabbit plushie in the hidden compartment."
Looking at the little girl's innocent and carefree appearance, I was reminded of my own childhood.
Driven by curiosity, I wanted to ask the little girl what her name was.
The little girl was quite outgoing, giving me a sweet smile:
"My name is White Rabbit, what's yours, sister?"
When I heard the name, I thought to myself, "Wow!"
So this little girl's name is White Rabbit, no wonder she likes rabbit dolls so much.
"My name is Chen Xi, it's nice to meet you," I said to the white rabbit, as if I were coaxing a child.
The white rabbit nodded very seriously:
"I'll remember that. Do you have WeChat, sister?"
"I want to add you on WeChat and chat with you."
