Upon hearing this, Tang Chen said "oh" calmly, then blinked his big eyes, waiting for Wang Yanzhou to respond.
Wang Yanzhou looked at her expression and said helplessly, "Your reaction surprised me a little."
Tang Chen casually plucked the strings a few times before explaining, "Otherwise, with his family in such a state, he's lucky to be alive. I heard from Lin Feng before that if it weren't for his secret help, Young Master Yan wouldn't even have a chance of walking out of prison alive."
The Lin and Gu families were political enemies. Since the Gu family had been caught with something, the Lin family would certainly take this opportunity to make sure they never got a chance to come forward. "I guess that's what the Lin family wanted."
"Who knows?"
...After receiving the news from Qilinmian that Heiya and his men had arrived near Qinghe County, Tang Chen went to bother Wang Yanzhou early in the morning. After pulling him out of bed, he excitedly dragged him to wait for the city gate to open.
It was almost noon when Hei Ya slowly appeared in Tang Chen's sight, leading a young lady he had never met before. After a friendly and cordial exchange of hands, Hei Ya formally introduced the young lady, whom he had been holding hands with, to Tang Chen and Wang Yanzhou who had come to greet them.
Tang Chen looked at this angel-like girl in almost shock, with her watery eyes and fair and tender skin. Oh my God, this feeling of frustration was the same as when she first met Yue Sheng.
"Fuck, where did you find such a pretty girl when you went out?"
Black Crow glanced at Xihe and said with a smile, "You may not believe this, but I was being chased and fell off a cliff. I saw her at the bottom of the cliff, and then I picked up a martial arts secret book. Now I am a great hero with a beautiful woman in my arms."
"Tsk tsk tsk, my brother is amazing!" Tang Chen couldn't help but take a step back. This Chuunibyou was very likely contagious, and she wanted to be a celebrity, so she couldn't get it.
Tang Chen saw that Xihe had been very quiet, and thinking that the girl might be a little reserved, he extended his hand to show his friendliness: "Hello, Miss Xihe, my name is Tang Chen, and I am the boss of this guy."
Seeing that Xihe kept ignoring him, Tang Chen pulled his hand back awkwardly. It seemed that shaking hands was a bit inconsistent with other people's etiquette and customs.
Seeing this, Black Crow quickly explained: "Her eyesight is not good."
"……Feel sorry!"
Xihe still ignored Tang Chen and anxiously tugged at Hei Ya: "Xinzhai, I'm hungry. Didn't you say you would take me to eat stinky tofu? Where is the stinky tofu?"
"Let's go now. We can also buy some things for Uncle Li. We rushed all the way here and didn't bring him any small things this time." As he spoke, Hei Ya casually threw all the bags on his body to Tang Chen. He took his people with him without caring about the eyes of others and swaggered towards the city.
Looking at the two of them talking and laughing as they walked away, Tang Chen casually slung his bag over his shoulder and couldn't help but complain, "You're so charming! I also want to eat Qi Shun Zhai's stinky tofu."
Wang Yanzhou took the bag from Tang Chen's shoulder and said that there was no need to be envious, as she could enjoy such treatment. "Didn't we say we would go see brother later? He doesn't like the taste. Let's go eat after we come back. Maybe we can catch up with Heiya and the others."
“That’s right!”
When Tang Chen and his friends arrived, Qinghe was busy preparing dinner. Tang Chen wanted to help, but Wang Yanzhou and Qinghe refused, saying Ouyang Ming really wanted to talk to her. Afterwards, Wang Yanzhou and Qinghe were busy in the kitchen, and Tang Chen was assigned to Ouyang Ming.
After telling Ouyang Ming that he had considered for a long time and had decided to build a beautiful and happy life with Wang Yanzhou, Ouyang Ming expressed his satisfaction and approval, but at the same time, he did not forget to repeatedly confirm Tang Chen's thoughts.
"Are you sure you've thought it through?"
Tang Chen replied with certainty: "Yes, it's confirmed."
Ouyang Ming nodded and said, "That's good. I'm not trying to brag, but Yan Zhou is really good."
"I know."
That being said, Ouyang Ming felt that Tang Chen needed to think things through sooner rather than later, to avoid being bothered by inevitable complications. "But there's one thing I must remind you of. You may not have been told his identity, but I'm sure you've sensed it yourself. Being with him will give you a lot, but in return, you'll also have to give up a lot of things you once held dear."
Speaking of this issue, Tang Chen had to admit that she was an indecisive person; but paradoxically, she was also a stubborn person: "...We'll see when the time comes. People should live in the present, and the future can be dealt with later."
After taking the fruit Tang Chen had peeled, Ouyang Ming shook his head helplessly. "You always sound so open-minded, I almost believe you."
Tang Chen laughed heartily and changed the subject abruptly: "... Let's not talk about this anymore. Black Crow is back today, and he brought back a very beautiful girl!"
Ouyang Ming exclaimed politely, "Oh, really? I didn't realize that Brother Black Crow was quite capable."
Tang Chen said that regardless of whether she was powerful or not, Miss Xihe really did have that otherworldly air; especially her looks, coupled with the perfect amount of aloofness that kept strangers at a distance, and her childlike tone of voice, it was simply too touching: "I don't know where he picked her up from, he must have been lucky!"
When Tang Chen and the others finished their meal, Hei Ya also brought Xihe some food and returned to his home. Hei Ya saw Mr. Li sweeping the floor from a distance and ran over to him: "Uncle Li, I'm back."
When Mr. Li saw Hei Ya, his cloudy eyes suddenly brightened up, as if some vague and fragmented memories suddenly came to life in his mind: "Hey, hey, you're back!"
After showing Mr. Li his "Warring States" collection, Black Crow apologized and said, "I didn't have time to buy you any local specialties this time, so I went to Qi Shun Zhai and bought some snacks and stinky tofu."
"Okay, okay, I'm glad you're back!"
Black Crow knew that Uncle Li was old and had some signs of Alzheimer's, so he became more respectful and patient when speaking to him. He saw Uncle Li's eyes accidentally glance at Xihe, and he hurriedly introduced her, "Uncle Li, let me introduce you. This is Xihe, my friend."
After looking at Xihe and then at Heiya, Li Bo was extremely happy. Especially seeing them holding hands, they looked just as loving as the old master and mistress. The Li family had a successor. He was so happy that he simply said what was in his heart: "Hello, Madam. I greet you!"
Black Crow quickly helped Uncle Li up, and with red ears, he whispered in embarrassment, "No, Uncle Li, you're too straightforward."
Faced with this new title, Xihe seemed a little unhappy: "Young Madam? No, no, no, my name is Xihe."
Uncle Li immediately said, "Okay, okay, whatever you call me is fine. Come on, come in. You haven't eaten yet, right? I'll go make dinner!"
