“I… the first time I ate your fried rice, it tasted exactly like the one my mom used to make. When my mom scolded me and my dad, it was just like you, not letting anyone interrupt…” Mo Luopo murmured, staring at Qinghe, tears streaming down his face.
"Mom...I...I miss you so much...Son...Son is having such a hard time..." Mo Luopo suddenly burst into tears in front of Qinghe.
"You..." Qinghe was startled by Mo Luopo and hurriedly looked at Wang Yao helplessly. Wang Yao nodded to her, slowly stood up, and came to Qinghe's side.
He had read Moropo's astrological records and knew that this man was burdened with sins from his past life and was a universally hated figure in this life. Apart from his mother, he probably had never felt the warmth of the world. He was probably feeling sentimental at the moment.
“The hardships you’ve endured are all due to loneliness. I think your mother would never want her son to grow old alone; she would only hope that he finds a good woman, someone who will love and care for him,” Wang Yao said slowly to Mo Luopo.
“It’s impossible, it’s impossible! At my age, what woman doesn’t have children to carry on her burdens, or relatives to hold her back? They’re just looking for a wallet!” Molop shook his head, sobbing.
Upon hearing Mo Luopo's words, Qinghe straightened up, intending to continue teaching this old bachelor a lesson, but Wang Yao was startled and waved to stop Qinghe.
So that's how it is! Maupassant didn't actually want to grow old alone. What he longed for was a romantic love like that of young people, without burdens or secrets. Damn it, other people came to him looking for a companion in their old age, but he wanted to reclaim his lost youth...
"Tap tap tap..." The system voice then sounded.
"The host has cleared away the idea of the Lonely One dying alone. Please help him find a marriage partner to complete the Lonely One's mission."
Wang Yao felt relieved and secretly gave Qinghe a wink.
"The mission is complete?" Qinghe stared at Wang Yao in disbelief as she watched Molupo stagger away.
"Not yet, but it's almost done. To be honest, this isn't really a mission. All you did was remind him of his mother and arouse his desire to be loved," Wang Yao said, shaking his head.
"Oh, I see. So... should we keep this shop open?" Qinghe seemed a little lost.
"I'm afraid it's not going to start. I need to find Lü Xian and then complete two other tasks." Wang Yao sighed. He planned to complete the "Widow" and "Lonely" tasks next. The first task, "The Four Great Cripples of the Wives, Orphans, and Lonely," had already taken up too much time.
As a result, the "Brother and Sister Fried Rice" business naturally could no longer continue operating.
"Really? Actually... I can... do it all by myself..." Qinghe turned to look at everything in the shop, a reluctant expression on her face.
“You…” Wang Yao blinked at Qing He and suddenly understood her thoughts. He himself also had many attachments to this shop.
From knowing nothing about opening a shop to running "Brother and Sister Fried Rice" in a respectable manner, it should be said that the period when Wang Yao was running the shop in Ziqiang County was the most comfortable and carefree time since he became an immortal.
If it weren't for the many unfinished things, why wouldn't he want to keep this "Brother and Sister Fried Rice" business running until the end of time?
"Alright, since you want to keep going, then hire a helper to continue." Wang Yao nodded emphatically to Qing He. Logically, as a fox demon, Qing He shouldn't stay in the human realm for too long, but who the hell cares?
"Pah! You need help? How much money do you think this little shop can make?" Qinghe was overjoyed when she saw Wang Yao nod, but she still couldn't help spitting at him.
"Director Lü, the Fairy Maiden already knows about your affair with Wei Cai," Wang Yao said respectfully to Fairy Lü.
"Hmm... I think I already told you about this, didn't I?" Lu Xian didn't show any surprise. He sat upright on the sofa in the luxurious mountain view room of the Qunshan Hotel, his eyes narrowed and his facial muscles remained completely still.
“I…I always feel that this is not fair…” Wang Yao said, frowning.
"Fairness? You, the instigator, are now talking about fairness? Then tell me, is it fair between Fairy Maiden and Xiao Cai? Fairy Maiden has an unlimited lifespan in Heaven, while Xiao Cai will only live for a few decades before passing away. What fairness is there between them?"
"Don't interfere in this matter. I'll keep an eye on things with the Fairy Maiden. I've already told you, I'm only staying in the mortal realm with Xiao Cai for a while. Once her lifespan comes to an end, I will naturally sever all ties of affection. What can your little skills, Old Man of the Moon, do to me?"
When Lü Xian heard Wang Yao mention fairness, his eyebrows twitched violently a few times, as if he were somewhat excited. It seemed that his feelings for Wei Cai were indeed very deep.
"Um... Director Lü misunderstood. What I meant by fairness was for Miss Xiao Cai, but... but not for Fairy..." Wang Yao hurriedly explained.
“Little Wang, you are now a celestial being with a position in the Heavenly Court. With this promotion, your skills should also improve. It’s inappropriate for you to still call yourself ‘subordinate’ now. You should address me as ‘your humble servant,’ don’t you understand? You… how is this unfair to Xiao Cai?”
Lu Xian, with his eyes closed, lectured Wang Yao and asked him a question.
"Yes... that's how it is. Wei Cai fell in love with you, but... but it's all because of my... my matchmaking skills. Although my skills can't do anything to you, Director Lü, I think Wei Cai, being just an ordinary woman, should still be quite susceptible to this, so..." Wang Yao explained ramblingly.
"So what?" Lu Xian looked up at Wang Yao impatiently.
