Lin Ruyan's face had just been beaten by the old woman and his daughter-in-law, and it was already red and swollen. Now, after being slapped repeatedly by himself, it was even more red and swollen.
When she raised her hand to slap herself for the umpteenth time, a big hand reached out, grabbed her wrist, and ordered her.
"Lin Ruyan, stop hitting me!"
Lin Ruyan seemed to be possessed by a demon. When he grabbed her wrist, she used her other hand to hit him. Then, her other wrist was also grabbed by Mo Wuwei.
"Lin Ruyan, why do you have to degrade yourself like this?"
Lin Ruyan raised her eyelids and looked at Mo Wuwei blankly.
"Teacher Mo, I'm not humiliating myself. This is my punishment for myself."
Mo Wuwei sighed, "I've already been punished enough. No need to beat him again."
"Ah?" Lin Ruyan was slightly stunned. "Teacher, what do you mean?" She was a little hesitant to ask, but she asked anyway. "You, you can't forgive me just like that, right?"
She thought it was impossible.
Mo Wuwei said, "Okay, I forgive you, Lin Ruyan. From now on, we're even. You don't owe me anything, and I don't blame you for anything. Let's each go our separate ways and cross our own single-plank bridges. We have nothing to do with each other."
"No!"
Lin Ruyan's tears suddenly flowed down. She had just had a fight with someone and was pinned to the ground and beaten by the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, but she did not cry.
She just hit herself and her face became swollen, but she didn't shed a single tear.
But she couldn't bear to hear Mo Wuwei say such words, "Teacher Mo, don't say that. Even if you hate me, at least you have feelings for me."
"I don't hate you, nor do I blame you, and I certainly don't like you. There's absolutely no way the two of us are together."
His tone of voice was calm and emotionless, yet it made Lin Ruyan feel cold in her heart.
"teacher."
Mo Wuwei didn't listen to what she said anymore. He turned back inside and closed the door.
Regardless of whether Lin Ruyan would leave or not, he would not go to see him again, so he simply went back into the house.
There was no sound outside. He took out a pen and paper and leaned over the table to write something, but his mind could not calm down. He simply put the pen down and stared at a sycamore tree outside the window that was shedding its leaves.
Watching the sycamore leaves fluttering in the wind, watching the leaves gradually appear double...
He didn't know how long it took before he came to his senses. He looked at the time and saw that more than an hour had passed.
He involuntarily walked behind the gate and stood there for a long time. He didn't hear any sound from outside. He wanted to open the door to see if Lin Ruyan had left. He raised his hand but put it down before he touched the door. He heard Fang Suyun and Xu Zhenqing talking, so he went to find them.
After more than ten minutes, he went straight to open the door and found that there was no trace of Lin Ruyan outside.
It must be that what he said just now worked. Lin Ruyan finally realized that it was impossible for them and was willing to give up.
He let out a long sigh. It felt good to be back to the original position. It was as if he was back to four years ago, when Lin Ruyan had just entered high school and he had just become her class teacher. They had just met and no one knew each other well. Their impression of each other was strange yet vaguely beautiful. Unfortunately, the beauty only stayed at the moment of their first meeting.
He treated Lin Ruyan, including all his students, as his own children and juniors. Even if Lin Ruyan had feelings for him, he would never have anything to do with her.
Now that Lin Ruyan was finally willing to give up, he felt relieved.
In the evening, Xu Nuannuan had dinner and rested at home for a while. At ten o'clock, she and Tuanzi went to the cowshed to check around. Then she asked Tuanzi to transform, and she rode the big dog to the county town.
It was only half past ten when they arrived at the grove south of the city. Xu Nuannuan counted the food again in the space, put on makeup, moved the food to be traded with the old monster out of the space, and then waited for the old monster to arrive with Tuanzi in front of the food.
At eleven o'clock, a car drove over, a medium-sized truck.
The truck stopped, and Laoguai and two of his men got out. They saw Xu Nuannuan and shouted, "Comrade Lao Zhao."
As it got closer, it suddenly discovered a big black dog squatting next to Xu Nuannuan. Even when squatting, the dog was almost as tall as a person, and it looked majestic and had a fierce look in its eyes, which scared it.
"Comrade Lao Zhao, your dog looks very powerful."
Xu Nuannuan said: "You see, I came here alone, so of course I have to find a bodyguard for myself."
The old monster's face froze slightly, then he smiled.
"It's normal to have some concerns in our line of work, but Comrade Lao Zhao can trust me completely. I would never do anything that's against my fellow criminals."
Xu Nuannuan knew that no matter how nice the words were on the surface, they were just polite words. The other party knew exactly what everyone was thinking.
No matter how decent a person appears on the surface, he or she will inevitably have some ulterior motives.
"Of course I trust Weird Brother, but it's always better to be safe than sorry. If I'm not on guard against Weird Brother, I have to be on guard against others. Weird Brother, don't you agree?"
"Yes, yes, brother, you are really thoughtful and careful."
Xu Nuannuan asked them to inspect the goods and weigh them. After confirming that there were no problems, they made the transaction in cash.
Xu Nuannuan received more than 13,000 yuan in payment for the goods. Because there were too many bills, more than 1,000 in total, and each hundred bills were in a stack, she only counted four stacks and thought there was no problem, so she put the money away.
The old monster ordered his men to move the food again, and Xu Nuannuan said goodbye to him: "Brother Weird, you guys are busy, I'll be leaving first."
