Situ Ming adjusted his mask. "I'm sorry! I take back what I said."
I lay down listlessly again.
His eyes were empty and lifeless.
Zhao Xiaoyue was terrified. Where had her soul gone?
"Isn't it hot wearing a mask? Take it off and catch your breath."
She was stunned when she ripped off the covering on her face.
Situ Ming didn't expect her to come and pull off his mask.
"Heh, see clearly now? Isn't it ugly? Well, it is."
Zhao Xiaoyue stared at the long scar on that thin face, lost in thought for a moment.
The scar runs from the ear to the jawline.
Situ Ming turned his face away awkwardly and put his mask back on.
"How did you do that?"
"It doesn't matter anymore."
Zhao Xiaoyue squeezed her hand.
"Why did you suddenly move to Haishi? Who will take care of you?"
Zhao Xiaoyue also sat down. "It's one of my dad's former colleagues at the fertilizer factory. They're very close."
"oh."
The two fell into deep thought.
Since we're all people with secrets, let's skip this question.
"How's business?" Situ Ming asked first.
"It's not bad. We opened a private restaurant, and the following year we took over a small winery that was about to go out of business. My dad turned it into a small inn, and we had no problem making ends meet."
Zhao Xiaoyue also replied.
Then he asked, "How are you?"
How about it?
Situ Ming thought back on it, it was truly brilliant!
That one cut severed the old man's last shred of compassion, cruelly throwing him into a foreign mercenary training camp.
He survived two years of inhuman torture; does that mean he's incredibly lucky?
As for his injuries, his biological father wanted to kill him, and he managed to escape assassination attempts time and time again. Does that mean he was incredibly lucky?
Those so-called family members are all thinking about how to nibble away at his share of the company. They wish he would die a violent death, so why would they care about his life or death?
Little did they know that he didn't care at all.
The old man was right about one thing: how could her mother be so blind as to not be able to tell the difference between good and bad?
He can't die even if he wants to, so wouldn't you say he's incredibly lucky?
Seeing that the man was becoming increasingly dejected, Zhao Xiaoyue kicked him hard. "What's wrong? Did you lose out on my advice?"
That shouldn't be the case. Land is very cheap now, and everyone is going into business, except for a few people with unique vision... But that doesn't make sense either.
The Earth is so big, they can't possibly fence it all off.
Situ Ming groaned, "You brat, if you keep acting like this, no one will dare to want you. You're so violent."
Zhao Xiaoyue took a breath, trying hard to suppress the urge to punch someone.
"Situ Ming, let me tell you, if I'm ever unwanted by anyone in the future, I'll cling to you and never let you go!"
"Let's talk about it when I'm still alive!"
His misanthropic mood made Zhao Xiaoyue afraid to provoke him.
This is the second person she has met who keeps talking about dying; the first one who didn't want to live was Master Pu.
"The advice you gave me was very useful."
In Situ Ming's eyes, this foxtail grass was smugly waving its tail, "That's right, so tell me what happened."
Her eyes were still bright and sparkling, and her face had become much rounder. The white knitted sweater made her look beautiful and lively, like a sunflower.
Situ Ming's eyes curved slightly. "I don't have time today. I have to meet someone. I'll wait for you at the school gate after school on Monday, and I'll tell you then."
Zhao Xiaoyue thought for a moment and then asked, "Did that person offend you?"
Situ Ming's face darkened. "Weren't you chasing after me relentlessly yesterday? Don't you know what happened?"
Um... well, she was just curious, so let's not talk about it.
They should turn the tables on us!
"Wow, you actually knew it was me, and you still ran away? I thought it was some kind of conspiracy, I was just curious and wanted to catch you and see."
There's one more thing I haven't said: If it happens to be on some list, give it to Uncle Hat, and you might be able to get a penny or two in return!
Situ Ming fell silent again.
Okay, she won't ask that anymore!
"Would you believe me if I said that woman staged it all herself?"
Zhao Xiaoyue: "What do you mean? What grudge do you have against each other?"
"I don't know, I've never seen her before. She just pounced on me when I got there."
Zhao Xiaoyue: "Then it seems to be a conspiracy. I smelled a faint medicinal scent on her, very faint, she probably just took it recently. If you smell that drug for more than ten minutes, you will become delirious and completely at someone's mercy, but the person who took it will be burning with lust..."
Situ Ming: "You know a lot!"
Zhao Xiaoyue: "That's right, have you heard of Grandma Wu from Shangwan Village? Her ancestors included imperial physicians, and she taught me!"
Situ Ming smiled but didn't say anything.
If you feel guilty, just keep changing the subject.
"That guy outside looks quite capable. Is he your friend?"
Situ Ming didn't expose her. "Yes, Duan Yunfei is the son of Duan Peng, the current chairman of the Wen Group!"
"Huh? Then..."
"Heh, getting anxious now? Weren't you beating around pretty fiercely just now!"
That smile just looks so irritating.
"I didn't use my full strength. At most, I'll have a cracked rib, a dislocated arm, a bruise on my leg, and muscle soreness for a few days. If a man can't even handle that, he's really useless!"
After hearing this, Situ Ming could only say, "Heh, heheha."
Zhao Xiaoyue was a little embarrassed. "I can just go out and pick him up! Don't be so stingy."
"Well, this is the first time he's been beaten so badly, he should forgive you."
How witty and sarcastic you are!
"Xiaoyue, Xiaoyue? Are you alright, Xiaoyue? You should have let me know!"
Lan Caihe knocked on the door anxiously. It had been ten minutes, and she still hadn't come out.
Duan Yunfei, who had just recovered, put on his glasses and was shocked beyond belief. He had actually been knocked unconscious by a child. Whose child was that?
