That night, the entire city was washed by heavy rain, making the sky appear exceptionally blue the next day.
Zhao Xiaoyue stepped out of the thatched hut and gazed at the wildflowers covering the mountains and fields, lost in thought.
Grandpa Liu went to see his flowers and Huo Qingqing's grave early in the morning.
It rained quite heavily last night.
More than a dozen gardeners were busy in the distance.
Thinking back to last night.
The stars in the night sky were more numerous and closer than those in the city, as if you could reach out and grab them.
The master and apprentice sat in front of the thatched hut, one with eyes full of dazzling stars, the other silent as the vast universe.
Zhao Xiaoyue was tired from playing and was about to go to sleep when Master Pu said, "Apprentice, when I die, bury me next to Qingqing's grave; I'll give you all my savings in exchange for this one request."
Zhao Xiaoyue skillfully concealed her emotions, smiling sweetly, "That won't do. How can a couple not be buried together after they pass away?"
"Old man, if you die, I will bury you together."
Then he said solemnly, "You'd better tell your teacher's wife that you're the one who asked me to bother her, so if anyone's going to settle a score, it'll be with you!"
Master Pu smiled gently.
Zhao Xiaoyue knew that this tenderness was something the old man showed when he thought of his lover!
Zhao Xiaoyue also noticed that this was the only person who would laugh here.
Zhao Xiaoyue turned away, feeling dejected. The old man didn't seem to be sick, but the deathly stillness in his eyes was impossible to hide.
He was given three months to familiarize himself with everything about the hunter; these hundred days were probably the limit he could reach.
Zhao Xiaoyue turned around and went back into the house to continue sleeping with her head covered.
A little while later, he threw off the covers, got out of bed, and went out.
She's going to find Situ Ming and ask for her 30,000!
Knowing that Zhao Xiaoyue had left, Master Pu didn't care.
Back in Haishi, they agreed to meet at 2 PM in the third private room on the first floor of the Century Club.
The Century Club has a huge ballroom and stage on the first floor, surrounded by booths, a bar, and more private rooms, all at affordable prices.
The second and third floors are the dens of iniquity for the wealthy, while the fourth floor is a place only Yu Muqi and his friends can go.
It also includes a basement and underground parking garage.
Situ Ming sat in the small private room, his face still a little pale, and the wound in his chest was throbbing.
His eyes were focused on the three ten-thousand-yuan bank drafts he was fiddling with between his fingers.
He gave all the funds he had to Li San to buy land, and he was also planning how to open a hotel.
Next...
Situ Kun...
Unexpectedly, Zhao Xiaoyue pushed open the door to the private room and turned on all the lights with a "snap," revealing the sinister look on Situ Ming's face.
Zhao Xiaoyue was already in a bad mood, so she blurted out, "Oh, is this young man playing the crazy guy? Is he just acting crazy for me?"
Situ Ming's expression was strange; he was clearly possessed, both in his thoughts and his questions.
The little hand slapped the table in the middle with a "smack," making the table tremble.
"Stop talking nonsense and give me the money."
His arrogant demeanor made him look exactly like a little bandit.
The young boy sitting opposite her simply smiled and handed the three drafts in his hand to Zhao Xiaoyue.
Zhao Xiaoyue, after taking the money, did not leave. Instead, she sized up Situ Ming for a while and said, "Your face is as white as a ghost. What happened? Did you run into a demon and have your essence drained?"
Who would have thought that these were the words a little girl said to a little boy?
Luckily, Situ Ming hadn't drunk any water, otherwise he would have definitely sprayed it all over Zhao Xiaoyue's face.
They are still children!
Situ Ming forced himself to remain calm and said, "It's nothing. On my way back that night, I was hit by a bicycle and broke two ribs. The doctor said it's nothing serious."
Zhao Xiaoyue was stunned. Are all boys these days so useless?
How could someone break their ribs like that?
He's absolutely brilliant!
Then, with sympathy, she said, "Then you should go home and rest quickly, God have mercy on you!"
Look what you've done to the child.
Situ Ming ignored the sympathy on Zhao Xiaoyue's face and nodded slightly in agreement.
She just couldn't control her mouth and said, "We're practically acquaintances now. Girls should learn to be gentle, otherwise they'll have a hard time getting married when they grow up."
This really hit Zhao Xiaoyue hard!
My lifelong wish was to find someone to marry and have a litter of adorable babies.
Now look what's happened! Someone is even cursing her so she'll never get married. Is this some kind of deliberate attempt to cut off the Zhao family line?
Then Situ Ming saw Zhao Xiaoyue getting furious at a speed visible to the naked eye!
He had only one thought: run!
The foxtail grass has incredible fighting power; I don't know where it gets its strength from.
As Zhao Xiaoyue folded the draft and stuffed it into her small handbag, she said coldly, "Heh, Situ Ming, do you think your ribs weren't broken thoroughly enough?"
He walked step by step toward the boy who was about to run away, "Hmph, I'll help you!"
Situ Ming was somewhat unrepentant, "Well, you shouldn't have gone too far, I'm telling you."
"Ah, Zhao Xiaoyue, you crazy girl!"
"Ah! It's bleeding!"
"I was wrong! I was wrong, Grandma!"
A dozen minutes later...
Zhao Xiaoyue walked out of the small private room on the first floor, feeling refreshed.
Indeed, women shouldn't bottle up their anger or bad moods.
It feels so much better to throw it out now!
Then, I casually took a taxi back to Huanhai Town!
Situ Ming limped out of the private room, his hair a mess like a bird's nest. When he lifted his clothes, there was a bruise on his arm and a small tooth mark on his neck that was still bleeding.
He winced in pain!
My chest still hurts.
He still doesn't know where he went wrong. He was just telling the truth, what a petty, vindictive person.
When they returned to Sangjing Villa by taxi, Butler Zhu was shocked. Had the young master been robbed?
