Bang--!
The door wasn't open!
Gu Zhengchi's foot and calf sank in.
The door opened outwards, and it was mostly damaged by the kick. Gu Zhengchi awkwardly withdrew his foot and noticed that it was the fallen broom that had blocked the door latch.
Pull out the wooden stick, and the door opens...
Covered in excrement, her clothes half-dry and a mess, Ruan Baozhu looked up through teary eyes and saw a tall figure standing outside the door, looking shocked as if struck by lightning.
"Brother Chi." At this moment, Ruan Baozhu's fear, heartache, and grievances all surged up at once...
She pushed herself up, the yellow soup dripping from her trousers and clothes like gold dust scattered by a butterfly in flight, and pounced into the man's arms.
"Waaaaah, the toilet is clogged, and I've been locked in the bathroom. Brother Chi, I'm so ashamed to live like this."
While others were embraced by gentle, fragrant beauties, he was a stench that assaulted the very soul.
One inhale and the taste was even more pungent than the snuff bottle my grandfather used to keep.
All my thoughts suddenly became clear!
My first instinct was to push the person away...
The woman, who used to be gentle and weak, now clung to him like a dung beetle clinging to dung.
"You despise me?" Ruan Baozhu looked up.
If you don't smell her, she looks quite like a battle-worn beauty.
Gu Zhengchi wanted to say no, that he had been through fire and water, let alone a little bit of shit. He wanted to pat the girl's back to comfort her, but his hand remained suspended in mid-air, unable to fall.
He said in a dry, stiff voice, "Loosen it first, then rinse it with water."
After a flurry of activity, Ruan Baozhu used five kettles of boiling water to barely clean herself, but the smell lingered for a while.
When Ruan Kangri came home from get off work, she was almost knocked over by the stench before she saw her granddaughter sitting on the sofa sobbing, and Gu Zhengchi standing a meter away from her with a dark, sallow complexion.
"What's wrong?" he asked.
Gu Zhengchi pursed his lips and remained silent.
Ruan Baozhu sobbed, "Grandpa, someone framed me. They deliberately blocked the toilet and locked me in the bathroom. They framed me, they framed me..."
Grandpa, I'm too ashamed to live anymore, sob sob sob!
Water droplets dripped from the girl's black hair, her sickly pale cheeks turned pink from the steam of the hot water, and her lips were exceptionally full and rosy from being bitten repeatedly.
Gu Zhengchi glanced at it once, then glanced at it again.
Food and sex are basic human needs; few people don't love beautiful things.
But thinking about why she became like this, her face darkened even more.
He might say he doesn't care, but deep down he's still bothered.
Logically, this shouldn't be the case.
He had just returned from the battlefield last year, where scenes of mountains of corpses, seas of blood, burning corpses, and people being stabbed until their intestines were ruptured and their internal organs spilled out were commonplace.
Perhaps because he was well-traveled and had never seen a woman rolling around in a cesspool, he found it hard to accept at first.
I took a deep breath, just about to go over and say a few words of comfort.
That one deep breath... Oh no!
vomit!
In that instant, Ruan Baozhu's face turned extremely ugly!
After comforting his granddaughter and explaining to Gu Zhengchi, Ruan Kangri looked exhausted after trying to appease both sides.
What a day...
The last time I felt this exhausted was before that wretched Ruan Xianxian went to the countryside.
"Grandpa, someone must have framed me. The toilet was clogged, and I just happened to be locked inside. Do you believe me if I said it wasn't intentional?"
Ruan Kangri seemed to be deep in thought, thinking of Tian Tian, who had just returned today to avenge her mother. She was capable of harming Baozhu.
Gu Zhengchi's peach blossom eyes, which were usually so affectionate when looking at dogs, suddenly darkened at this moment.
What does that mean?
Is he implying that he harmed her?
He's the only outsider in the family. If it wasn't him, was it her family who harmed her?
Feeling unhappy, his tone naturally became harsher, "You're overthinking it. When I came, I saw clearly that it was a fallen broom handle blocking the door latch."
Ruan Baozhu's eyes widened, as if to say that she had brought it upon herself.
Finally, Old Master Ruan spoke, slamming his hand on the table and shouting angrily, "That wretched child!"
who?
He then informed her of Tian Tian's return to Beijing.
Ruan Baozhu suddenly screamed uncontrollably, "It's her! It must be that bastard Tian Tian, taking revenge on me for accidentally hurting my aunt."
"She's definitely a product of an extramarital affair, a born slut. Grandpa, we can't let her get away with this."
The voice was thin and shrill, ringing in Gu Zhengchi's ears and making them buzz. "Calm down!"
Ruan Baozhu stopped cursing abruptly, cautiously glancing at his face, which was more gloomy and unpleasant than ever before, and her heart skipped a beat.
Why couldn't you control your emotions and behave inappropriately in front of your partner?
Knowing how much resentment Gu Zhengchi felt, Ruan Baozhu didn't cross his line again. She carefully clutched a piece of the man's clothes and cried.
Ruan Xianxian had said before that her cousin's crying face was beautiful, with red eyes, tears about to fall but not falling, and occasionally a few crystal tears would roll out and slowly slide down her cheeks.
It's like they've practiced before.
"Brother Chi, don't you remember? I asked you to help my cousin move to the countryside in Heilongjiang Province. I don't understand, what did I do to wrong her?"
Yes, I accidentally spilled the hot soup and hurt my aunt, but I really didn't mean to.
She...she's trying to destroy me first, then force me to my death!
The incident where Gu Zhengchi personally helped happened not long ago, so he naturally remembered it.
After saving him, Baozhu never asked him for anything. Even the small gifts he gave her would always be reciprocated with gifts of equal value.
She only came to him for help regarding her cousin's assignment to a rural area.
When she spoke again, not only her expression but also her tone softened considerably, "He's just a heartless ingrate, don't be sad."
Ruan Kangri watched with satisfaction as the young couple reconciled. After the Lu Yi incident, Baozhu had clearly made a lot of progress.
