Chapter 13 013 Ungentlemanly
In the original story, Yue Ling lived in the dilapidated temple. Later, the girl and her grandfather came, which gave Yue Ling and the girl the opportunity and time to develop their relationship. But after he came, he took Yue Ling away from the dilapidated temple. How did the girl find him?
The boy never explained such things, so Yin Chu Jiu could only turn her attention to the girl. The girl seemed to understand the boy's personality a little, so she stepped forward and explained why she was there.
"Today I saw a group of people acting suspiciously on the street, so I followed them. I found out they wanted to capture Yue Ling, so I came in to help Yue Ling drive them away. But because those people were too strong, I fainted after they left, so I just took a nap here."
The girl's delicate and beautiful appearance truly evoked pity in people.
Yin Chu Jiu was speechless. If he hadn't been the one who created the girl, he would have almost been fooled by her appearance.
Little girl, can't you just stick to your own storyline? What if the protagonist kills you in the future?
He's already trying his best to prevent things from going according to plan, so why are you interfering?
Actually, if this girl hadn't had ulterior motives, Yin Chu Jiu would have been willing to let her get to know Yue Ling. After all, it's impossible for Yue Ling to only have him as a friend, and he didn't want Yue Ling to be like the person he had previously set up, truly without a lover.
But clearly, this is not appropriate.
Moreover, this girl's purpose was all too clear.
"Um... it might be inappropriate to say this, but... I'm a little hungry. Can I mooch a meal here?" The girl shyly touched her stomach and said, "I'll cook. I know some wild vegetables. I can make wild vegetable soup. I'm a very good cook. I cook often. Grandpa always says it's delicious."
Make an excuse to stay.
Yin Chu Jiu didn't want the girl to stay, but Yue Ling didn't say a word from beginning to end, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.
There was no other way. For Yue Ling's sake and for the girl's sake, he forced a smile, painfully took out an ounce of silver from his pocket, and handed it to the girl, saying gratefully, "You saved Yue Ling, how can we let you help us cook? Please go out to eat. Thank you so much."
girl:"???"
Yin Chu Jiu didn't care whether his behavior was ungentlemanly or not. He reached out and pushed her out of the small, shabby house. Then, under the girl's shocked gaze, he closed the door, completely preventing her from coming in.
He closed the door, not caring what kind of expression the girl would have, and went straight into the house. Then, he met the eyes of the gloomy boy standing by the door.
"Do you want to eat? I'll make it." After thinking for a moment, Yin Chu Jiu asked cautiously.
Yue Ling didn't say anything, just glanced at him indifferently, and went back into the house.
The boy was too wary.
It's okay if she doesn't answer; one day, he'll make Yue Ling willing to speak.
That night, Yue Ling didn't say a word. He didn't mention the girl, nor did he mention that Gong Yunxi had sent people to the small, dilapidated house during the day, nor did he mention whether they should hide outside the city.
In fact, Yin Chu Jiu did not believe that Yue Ling was completely unaware of the girl's ulterior motives. He was a character he created himself, and to put it bluntly, he was essentially Yue Ling's father. Over the years, he had raised Yue Ling as his son. How could he not know Yue Ling's personality?
What he didn't understand was, if Yue Ling knew all this, why did he still keep the girl around and let her have her way with him?
Yin Chu Jiu wanted to ask, but considering Yue Ling's current attitude towards him, he held back. However, that little girl was truly a ticking time bomb; he needed to keep an eye on her and prevent her from exploding.
The next day, Yin Chu Jiu went to find the girl. But it was clear that his plan was destined to fail this time.
Not long after he left, the time bomb he feared went to their dilapidated house, and she waited outside it all night.
"Yue Ling." The time bomb had a gentle expression on her face. "Have you had breakfast? I brought you two steamed buns with lots of filling inside."
The girl, like a time bomb, handed the boy a specially bought steamed bun. The bun was plump and white, and the girl's hands were small and fair. Together, they were a sight to behold.
The boy glanced at the girl, then suddenly smiled, a friendly smile playing on his lips, and said, "Thank you."
He held out his hand, his palm, which wasn't very hairy, to the girl. The girl felt disgusted, but thinking about her own plans, she maintained a gentle expression and placed the steamed bun in his palm.
She said softly, "It's delicious."
The boy didn't answer, but just smiled, and then slowly put the steamed bun into his mouth in front of the girl.
He ate the steamed buns at a moderate pace, but as he ate, he kept looking at the girl, as if he wasn't eating the buns but the girl herself, as if he could see through her intentions.
The girl's smile faded as the boy ate more and more buns.
She couldn't help but take a step back, turn her head to the side, and tuck a strand of hair behind her ear to hide her nervousness and disgust. "Yue Ling, why are you looking at me like that?"
If it weren't for the desire to gain favor with Young Master Gong and shed her beggar identity, she wouldn't have gone to such lengths to get close to him after learning of his interest in this monster.
The girl took a step away from the boy, thinking that he would also take a step back, but to her surprise, the boy just lowered his eyes, then ate the big steamed bun in one bite, and then licked his lips.
“It’s delicious,” he said. “Thank you.”
The girl smiled shyly and said, "It's okay."
It's done. Just wait a few more days until this monster completely trusts her, then she'll give him the bun laced with sleeping pills and hand him over to Young Master Gong.
In response to the girl's friendly smile, the boy simply took out a clean rag and wiped his fingers.
He lowered his head slightly and quietly memorized a number in his mind.
Three points.
It's a pity it didn't reach a perfect score.
Unable to find the girl, Yin Chu Jiu left disappointed. The other beggars also didn't know where the girl had gone. Yun Du City was too big, and finding someone was not easy. With no other option, he could only put the matter aside for the time being.
But instead of going straight back to the dilapidated house, he went outside the city.
Although Yue Ling didn't say whether she would go or not, as the person who took care of Yue Ling, he had to make all the necessary preparations.
He went to find the cave, the one he had mentioned before.
They discovered the cave when they were luring the magical beasts. It was located in the Cloud City Forest, halfway up the mountain. Few people went in, and it was rarely found.
He had rested here once or twice before.
The cave was dry and a bit dirty. Yin Chu Jiu made a broom out of tree branches, swept the inside clean, brought in some dry grass, and made a simple arrangement before leaving.
As for quilts, pots and pans, and beds, I'll buy them slowly over the next few days.
After putting the broom away and covering the cave with branches, Yin Chu Jiu left the cave. Once outside, he followed the path he had come from towards the edge of the forest. He had walked this path many times before; it was relatively safe, and he didn't need to worry about attacks from magical beasts.
He didn't expect that as soon as he stepped out of the forest, he would see a person standing on the main road outside the forest, waiting for him.
The man was tall and big; he was a chubby little boy when he was young, and he grew even taller and stronger as he grew up.
Yin Chu San was getting impatient. When he saw Yin Chu Jiu come out, he rushed up to her and said with dissatisfaction, "Chu Jiu, when are you coming back? It's been so long! We used to bully that weirdo when we were kids... but it hasn't been that long. You've been his slave for seven years. Can't you ever forgive him?"
Yes, this tall guy is Yin Chusan. Yin Chusan is now a full one and a half times as wide as Yin Chujiu; I don't know how he grew so big.
In response to Yun Chusan's complaints, Yin Chujiu said helplessly, "Chusan, I've said it many times: I won't leave until Yue Ling forgives me. Besides, I've spent so much time with Yue Ling now, and in my heart, Yue Ling is like half of my family and my friend. Even if he drives me away, I won't leave him."
"..." Yin Chusan exploded, "Chu Jiu, do you even know what the consequences of your decision will be?!"
Yin Chusan was really angry, extremely angry. His face turned red and his neck swelled up with anger.
"The family has decided to expel you from the family. If you are expelled, you will no longer be a member of Juanyun Lane or the Yin family. Do you even know that?!" "I don't know why, but Third Aunt and Third Uncle didn't stop you and just let you do it."
"For so many years, you've been Yue Ling's slave, and in the end, he hasn't forgiven you, hasn't accepted your apology. Now, for his sake, you're going to be expelled from the family. Is it really worth it? You're doing this..." Yin Chusan's voice trembled slightly, "Isn't it shameless!"
When Yin Chusan said this, the surrounding air fell silent. As time passed, Yin Chusan realized what he had said in his anger.
He actually said Yin Chu Jiu was shameless, but that's his younger brother, how could he say that?
Compiled by the Yuxi team, please stay tuned.
"I'm sorry." Feeling completely flustered, Yin Chusan hurriedly tried to make amends. "Chu Jiu, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to say that. I was just... just angry. Please don't be angry. I'm sorry, I'm really sorry."
"It's okay, Junior Three." Yin Junior Three was flustered and at a loss, but Yin Junior Nine patted his shoulder to calm him down. "Junior Three, everyone should take responsibility for their own actions. Since I have chosen to repay Yue Ling, I will not give up halfway. So what if I am expelled from the family? Does being expelled mean I am no longer your brother, no longer our son?"
"Won't."
besides……
With a sigh, under Yin Chu San's deeply regretful gaze, Yin Chu Jiu continued, "Chu San, you only scolded me once and you already feel extremely regretful. So, how much regret do you think I feel after I realized how much my actions hurt Yue Ling?"
Yin Chusan was speechless.
Yes, he only unintentionally cursed Yin Chu Jiu, and then he regretted it immensely because he knew it was wrong, because he cared about Yin Chu Jiu.
So what about Yin Chu Jiu, who now cares about Yue Ling? He realizes how much he regrets his past excessive treatment of Yue Ling, which caused him such great humiliation.
There wasn't enough time to cook, so Yin Chu Jiu turned and left, waving her hand behind her back to Yin Chu San. "Chu San, go back now. Don't come looking for me anymore, and don't worry about me. I'll be fine."
Yin Chusan didn't reply. He just stood there, staring blankly at Yin Chujiu's increasingly smaller figure.
Author's Note:
Yue Ling: Three points, unfortunately, not ten.
Haha, the phrase "time bomb" was censored; I didn't notice it. _(:з」∠)_
