Chapter 163: All Men Are the Same
"That's just the way you men are."
Su Qingyue turned around and lit a candle. There was no electricity in her adobe house yet.
At night we can only rely on candles for lighting.
The dim candlelight flickered before gradually stabilizing. She turned around and poured a glass of well water into the man's hand. Then she leaned against the wall and spoke again.
"Every time he opens his mouth, he asks questions and gives truths, just like a father."
"When they realize they're in the wrong, they'll just say, 'I didn't say anything about you.'"
"Do you think we women can't hear your guilty conscience? We just don't want to waste our breath on you."
The man took a sip from his enamel cup and said, "Are you in a bad mood because of your divorce?"
"I'm fine." Su Qingyue straightened her messy hair in front of the mirror. "I'm in a bad mood because I see you."
"Remember, this is the organization's mission." The man naturally would not indulge Su Qingyue's temper. "Remember, the Cheng family's bracelet must be found."
"And, we have to get it together with the Ruan family."
"Obtaining these bracelets will allow the organization to achieve great things, and your status and worth will rise as well. Do you understand?"
"Pah!" Su Qingyue slammed the wooden comb in her hand onto the table and turned back unhappily, "Your worth and status? Rising with the tide?"
"I'm almost starving to death. How can I let the organization keep an eye on them?"
"Su Ergou is a loser. Now this military district depends entirely on me. Can I handle it?"
"Besides, I'm a human being, not a machine. I need to eat, sleep, and wear clothes, and all of these cost money!"
The man sighed and patted an envelope that had been placed on the bed. "I know your life has been hard, so I prepared this for you a long time ago."
"I didn't expect you to team up with Ruan Anan to get rid of Xu Yanli this time. You're doing well. Keep getting closer to Ruan Anan."
"It's getting late. I'm leaving now."
The man said this and walked away without looking back.
Su Qingyue followed him out, locked the courtyard gate from the inside, and then went back into the house and locked the door.
After she had exhausted all the locks, she placed the candle on the nightstand, picked up the envelope, and opened it to examine it.
It was a thousand yuan and some common tickets.
She sniffed the ink on her brand new ten-yuan pen and paper as she lay comfortably on her bed. "The organization is really rich, but their brains aren't very good."
"Can getting that pair of bracelets change your destiny?"
"What a joke! They're not allowed to become spirits even after the founding of the People's Republic of China."
After complaining a few words, Su Qingyue carefully put away the money and bills and held them in her arms. "Besides, if luck really could turn the tide, then how could the ancestors of the Ruan and Cheng families have fallen to such a state today?"
"Some people, after falling from high positions, tend to harbor unrealistic fantasies."
But just give the money.
When the man came back, the door was locked.
He took the broken wooden door off with his slender fingers and took off the mask on his face. His angular face looked particularly white and creepy in the moonlight.
He really didn't come back to look for Su Qingyue, he just wanted to see if Su Qingyue had locked the door.
Because she never locked the door before, but now she started locking it.
This shows that she doesn't really want to work for the organization.
Time is tight and the task is heavy now. If Su Qingyue is not up to the task, I will have to do it myself.
Thinking of this, the man turned around indifferently and disappeared into the night.
…
At one o'clock in the morning, the furious Ruan Anan kicked the restless Xu Yancheng away, and retreated into the space to soak in the spiritual spring.
This bastard has to get up early tomorrow to go to Principal Zhu's house to start preparing for the New Year. She's so exhausted that her back and waist are sore. How can she go?
Ruan Anan couldn't understand why Xu Yancheng had so much energy.
Is this the physical fitness that is being handed over to the country?
Being happy is real happiness, and being tired is also real tiredness.
Feeling the cool spiritual spring water taking away his tiredness, Ruan Anan slowly closed his eyes and leaned against a large rock on the shore.
Tsk, these days.
[Alert! Alert!]
What the hell?
Ruan Anan had just felt comfortable for less than a second when she was disturbed by a strange mechanical sound.
She climbed out of the spiritual spring, put on a thick bathrobe, and walked towards the sound stealthily, "I'm telling you, space, stop making trouble!"
"We're fine, don't give us a false alarm."
"If you're going to self-destruct, get everything out of here first!"
[Alert! Alert!]
Tsk?
Ruan Anan's ears moved, and with the keen perception brought by the spiritual spring, he traced the direction of the source of the sound.
It's strange.
This sound was different from the space prompt sound she had heard before.
This voice was obviously more childish than the previous voice in the space.
Ruan Anan stopped and waved his hand in the air, "Space, can you also turn back to youth?"
No response.
Ruan Anan then remembered that there were two shielding devices on Nansha Island, so after arriving at Nansha Island, the space was basically silent.
They even call it avoiding being discovered.
In fact, it is just passive resistance.
However, Ruan Anan still found the source of the sound. It was the mutton-fat white jade bracelet found in the old house of the Cheng family, which was made of the same material as the one in her own space.
She sat on the soft big bed in the space, picked up the bracelet with a soft beep, and put it in front of her eyes to observe it, "I completely forgot about you."
"Since it's made of the same material as my bracelet, do you have some space?"
[No! I don't have space, but I can sound the alarm.]
[Alert! Alert!]
I get it, my brain isn't working properly.
Ruan Anan curled her lips and continued to ask, "Then what are you alarmed about?"
[It has been detected that someone is going to burn down the owner's house. Tomorrow night at 11:00 sharp.]
…
Ruan Anan tapped the bracelet. "So, your warning is about burning my house down tomorrow? Your function is to detect if your master is in danger?"
[Master is very smart. I am your alarm bracelet. My name is Xiaojian.]
"That's not bad." Ruan Anan lay on the bed and studied it carefully. "If you make you into a pendant or something, will you still have any function?"
"You belong to the Cheng family, not the Ruan family, so you should call Xu Yancheng the master."
[No, I'm the only one who's not Xiaokong. I only have the Ruan family's bloodline to be able to successfully activate it!]
"Xiao, Kong?" Ruan Anan thought for a moment, then remembered her bracelet that was slacking off. However, she was very protective of her shortcomings. No matter how dishonest Xiao Kong was, he was still her treasure, so naturally she would not say anything more.
She said seriously, "Xiao Jian, you must know that if the Ruan family's bloodline is not able to activate you, you will belong to the Ruan family."
"You are a bracelet, a property, an object. Your ownership is not based on bloodline. Do you understand?"
