Tang Chen was stunned. What Wang Yanzhou said seemed to be true. It seemed that she was really a little too impulsive. Indeed, who was she, Tang Chen? She was just an ordinary person who barely made a living by clinging to others and doing chores. What could she change?
But she refused to accept it. Why? Why couldn't women be the only ones who suffered in this era and chose life... A Yuan was no different, as were Aunt Zhang and the bride. "If we don't agree, then there's no point in saying anything more. Humph!"
"Where are you going?"
"...running away from home", Tang Chen stopped, glanced at Wang Yanzhou, clasped his hands together and walked away alone angrily.
After Wang Yanzhou had taken care of everything at the post station, he didn't dare go out for fear that she would suddenly come looking for him. He ordered a pot of tea and sat in the lobby of the post station from the scorching sun to the sunset.
The moment he saw Tang Chen walk in, Wang Yanzhou, the stone man, suddenly came alive. Without waiting for Tang Chen to approach, Wang Yanzhou, while busy pouring tea and ordering food, immediately started teasing her: "Why is this girl who yelled about running away from home back again?"
Tang Chen's cheeks flushed as she stumbled towards Wang Yanzhou. As she walked, she waved her hands, "Humph, if the world outside wasn't too dangerous, do you think I'd be willing to come back? Hiccup!"
Wang Yanzhou saw that she didn't seem angry anymore, so he asked, "Hey, tell me, what danger did you encounter?"
"I'm telling you, hiccup. Along the way, I encountered a wonton stall, two candy figurine stalls, several candied haws, and a sesame cake stall. I also encountered a little devil who talked a lot, hiccup!"
After mumbling a lot of incomprehensible things, Tang Chen finally walked over to Wang Yanzhou. As soon as he sat down, Wang Yanzhou's expression suddenly changed: "...You've been drinking again?"
"No, I didn't drink, burp." Usually, a drunkard who is already drunk will answer like this to everyone who asks him if he has drunk any alcohol.
Wang Yanzhou sighed deeply and originally planned to leave this troubled place as soon as possible and come back to "identify the body" tomorrow morning. Unexpectedly, with his speed, he was grabbed by Tang Chen as soon as he took a step.
After Tang Chen got drunk, although her mind was confused, her limbs suddenly became flexible. Wang Yanzhou didn't dare to use force on her small body, so he had to coax her while trying to break free from Tang Chen's clutches: "...Can you please let go first and talk it over?"
Tang Chen narrowed his eyes and looked up at Wang Yanzhou, tilted his head, pouted and burped, and said, "It was obviously you who pulled me, hiccup."
People passing by the inn stopped in their tracks when they saw the two people arguing in the lobby, stretching their heads to watch the excitement. Wang Yanzhou saw that the crowd of onlookers was gradually increasing, so he busied himself with comforting Tang Chen while coaxing and tricking the drunken girl back to the guest room.
As soon as he entered the room, Wang Yanzhou threw Tang Chen to the ground. After closing the door, he covered his nose and looked at her with disgust: "It stinks."
Hearing this, Tang Chen burped and stood up shakily from the ground, still somewhat unconvinced and argued: "Humph, I always smell good, okay!"
Wang Yanzhou held his forehead and lowered his head. Tang Chen had turned into a sticky candy that he couldn't get rid of, sticking tightly to his legs. "Okay, okay, okay, whatever you say is right. Just let me go first. Aunt, I'm wrong, isn't that okay?"
"belch!"
As the night deepened and the sounds gradually faded, Wang Yanzhou lay on his bed, looking at the pitch-black ceiling with a look of despair on his face. After a moment, he slowly reached out his hand and turned Tang Chen's face away with disdain.
This familiar scene, this familiar accident, and this familiar sleepless night. Wang Yanzhou suddenly realized a very serious problem. Even he himself did not expect that his temper could be so good. Alas, looking at it this way, he is already a person without any flaws. However, why does it feel like this way of thinking has been infected by someone...
The next morning, when Tang Chen woke up, she had no memory of the room at all, as if she had temporarily lost her memory. When she finished washing up and went downstairs, Wang Yanzhou had already started eating breakfast.
Tang Chen went downstairs with a depressed look on his face. He rubbed his head and felt a little dazed. "My head hurts a bit. Boss, you didn't beat me up while I was asleep last night because you disliked my disagreement with you, did you?"
"I'm not as boring as you."
Tang Chen ignored Wang Yanzhou and happily ate her breakfast with her bowl and chopsticks. It wasn't until she caught a glimpse of the pig liver-like substance on the table that she suddenly remembered something she'd forgotten. "I remember now! I smelled something similar to this thing and it reminded me! Ah, I got drunk again yesterday!"
Wang Yanzhou shook his head and said, "I've told you so many times, this wine is not good. It won't improve anything."
As soon as Wang Yanzhou finished speaking, Tang Chen's expression suddenly became serious. After gently putting down his bowl and chopsticks, Tang Chen looked at him with a constipated expression: "...Boss."
"What's wrong? Your stomach hurts?"
Tang Chen stood up from his seat and, for the first time, bowed his head towards Wang Yanzhou: "Boss, I want to apologize to you. I was indeed too impulsive yesterday. You are right. I'm sorry."
Wang Yanzhou was stunned at first, then he smiled with relief: "...It is a great honor to admit one's mistakes and then improve."
Tang Chen raised his head and added, "But I beg to differ with their approach. I don't believe in the existence of gods, because in my time, in my hometown, we are our own masters, we are our own gods. I know you will think I'm a little crazy when I say this. But it doesn't matter. Thousands of years later, everything I said will become a reality. It doesn't matter if it takes a long time, but the result will definitely be good. I can't change anything, but time can."
If he hadn't often heard Tang Chen say something unusual, he wouldn't have double-checked like she did when he saw the procession offering sacrifices to the river god: "I often hear you talk about your hometown. To be honest, even I'm a little moved. What kind of existence is a place that is so different from the world?"
Tang Chen smiled and said, "Haha, that's exactly what it should look like. Maybe it will look a bit like what you dreamed of."
After saying that, Tang Chen did not return to his seat, but instead took a few steps back with a silly smile on his face.
"So, where are you going now, running away from home again?"
Tang Chen explained with some embarrassment: "I have an appointment with someone. We will meet after dinner. I will be back soon. It will be quick."
"Never mind. Go ahead and be careful on the road. Also, don't drink."
"I know!"
As a person who said one thing and did another, Wang Yanzhou said he didn't care, but in his heart he was still a little worried. So, not long after Tang Chen left, Wang Yanzhou also left the post station and followed her from a distance.
