Chapter 2
The perfect hero saving the beauty.
Chanyuan Shener looked at the girl who was staring at him with sparkling eyes and thought with satisfaction that it was worth it that he had deliberately shown off the muscle lines in his arms when he knocked the gangster away.
Just as Chanyuan Shen'er was about to say something to comfort the lovely young lady, he heard the sound of sirens coming closer and closer.
"I just called the police." Sugawara Yoshiyo explained with an embarrassed expression. Now that the police are here, even the kind-hearted people who bravely come to help others will probably be in trouble.
So before the police car arrived, Sugawara Yoshiyo grabbed the big hand in front of him and ran out of the alley.
The palm, which was several times larger than hers, was very dry, and Sugawara Yoshiyo could feel the thick calluses on his palm.
But Sugawara Yoshiyo soon regretted it, as she was not used to the man's high body temperature.
As if he had noticed that she wanted to let go of his hand, the man who had not resisted and let her drag him away held Sugawara Yoshiyo's hand in his turn.
The touch of the fingertips sliding across the palm of the hand is as subtle as a match struck in the snow, igniting a tiny flame.
They had already run from the dark alley to under the overpass, and the orange light shining on them added a bit of warmth and ambiguity.
"Your hand is injured." Sugawara Yoshiyo looked at the wound on the back of the man's hand, and blood was constantly flowing out.
"I didn't even notice it. It's just a minor injury." The man who deliberately left himself with a minor skin injury said in surprise, and then as expected, he saw the apologetic expression on the girl's face.
"Your wound needs to be disinfected. Those guys just picked up weapons at random. It would be bad if you get tetanus. Go to the hospital and get vaccinated." Sugawara Yoshiyo said.
"It's not that serious, it's just a small wound." Chanyuan Shen'er said that this kind of wound will heal itself after a good night's sleep.
Zenyuan Shener saw a hint of hesitation on the girl's face: "Actually, I live nearby. If you don't mind, you can go home with me to treat your wound."
"Won't this disturb your family?" The brave young man looked considerate, but made a "plan passed" gesture in his heart.
"It's okay, I'm the only one at home." Sugawara Yoshiyo shook her head and first used a handkerchief to tie the wound that was still bleeding.
"Yoshi Sugawara." The injured hand was carefully held and gently shaken.
"Zenyuan Shier, just call me Shier." The young man imitated him and introduced himself.
Winter Solstice?
It's a name that feels completely opposite to body temperature.
The house was closer than Zen Yuan Shier had imagined, and it was just across an intersection.
The independent two-story building away from the neighbors is surrounded by lush green plants. When you walk to the gate, the first thing you see is the grape rack. The green and plump grapes hanging on the branches make you drool.
"What kind of grape is this? It looks delicious." Chanyuan Shener said.
"It's Kyoho grapes. When they're ripe, they smell like strawberries and taste very sweet," said Yoshiyo Sugawara.
"Welcome to my home, Shinji-kun." Sugawara Yoshiyo said as she pushed open the door.
Zen Yuan Shen'er had been observing silently, from the yard full of green plants to the very clean house.
"Let's clean the wound first, it may be a little painful." Chanyuan Shener retracted his gaze and looked at the girl holding the disinfectant in her hand. Her eyes were bright.
He was not afraid. Chanyuan Shener sneered at the child-like tone, but he still walked to the girl obediently.
That tone was just a way of acting coquettishly, Zenyuan Shener thought as he was treating the wound.
The bandaging technique was very skillful. Chanyuan Shener looked at the girl. They were very close to each other, so close that Chanyuan Shener felt that the girl's eyes were dazzlingly bright.
The pale blue eyes looked very clear and bright under the light and a little familiar. Zenyuan Shener thought about it for a long time but found nothing. This was almost impossible for him with such a good memory.
Where have you seen it before?
My thoughts were scattered and I was searching hard, but I found nothing. At the same time, I couldn't help but recall the unpleasant times at the Zen temple house in the details.
Zenyuan didn't want to be trapped in those useless memories, those memories of abandonment, indifference, bullying, and all the bad things that hurt him.
Zenyuan didn't want to admit it, but all the bad and negative things about the Zenyuan family still affected him, at least for now.
The man was in a daze, and for some reason his life flame seemed a little wilted.
When Zenyuan Shener came to his senses, he found that the other person's hand was on his forehead, feeling the warmth.
"The temperature is normal." Sugawara Yoshiyo withdrew her hand: "You look listless, are you hungry, Jiner-kun?"
Being distracted and inattentive when alone with a girl is a demerit. Zenyuan Shener pretended to be calm and nodded: "I haven't had lunch yet."
Although he concealed it well, Sugawara Yoshiyo still noticed the pain and a flash of hostility in the man's eyes.
"In that case, would you like to stay for dinner tonight?" Sugawara Yoshiyo suggested, "I've prepared barbecue ingredients and offal hot pot."
Whether it is beasts or humans, they will be much calmer when they are well fed.
It was a meal that completely suited his taste. It was rare for him to meet someone who shared the same taste. He nodded and said consciously, "Jia Shi-san, is there anything I can help you with?"
Sugawara Yoshiyo looked out the window and said, "Kyoho grapes don't ripen until August. Does Jiner-kun like loquats this month?"
Zenyuan Shener, who is not picky about food, went out with a small basket.
The loquat tree, which was more than two meters high, was not a problem for Chanyuan Shier. He easily picked the golden branch at the top.
The loquats are also larger than usual, fresh and sweet.
Holding a basin of loquats, he walked directly into the living room from the side door. Chanyuan Shener saw the iron pots and various kitchen knives placed on the shelves, as well as the unsharpened weapons casually inserted in the umbrella bucket.
The spell tools that could be sold for eight figures outside were casually piled up in a corner by her, as if they were not worth mentioning.
The pile of books under the coffee table attracted Chanyuan Shen'er's attention. A glance at the titles of the books seemed to be related to smelting, forging and blacksmithing.
Of course, these are not the main points. Although the owner of the book seems to have read it repeatedly and put a bookmark on it, it can still be seen that he has not bought it for a long time.
No way, is this guy a beginner?
"Shinji-kun, what are you looking at?" Sugawara Yoshiyo also walked into the living room carrying two pots of meat.
Zenyuan Shener looked at the woman in front of him with a complex emotion towards "gifted people": "Are these all the works of Jiashi-san?"
"Not bad, it took me a lot of effort to finish it within the specified time." Sugawara Yoshiyo said as he showed the Band-Aid standing on the palm of his hand.
"What do you mean within the specified time?" Zenyuan Shen'er looked curious. From the moment he saw the iron pot, he realized that he might have had a wrong understanding of the identity of this lady from the beginning.
"The kitchen utensils above are all made by me, and I will sell them online. The ones below are what I made recently as a practice.
Some time ago, a customer commissioned me to forge a cold weapon, but I only knew how to forge kitchen utensils before.
But that lady gave me so much, so I did a lot of cramming." Sugawara Yoshiyo said with a bright smile.
The woman in front of him had no idea what the "thing" he had forged was or what its value was.
Staring at the cursed tools with an inconspicuous but very ardent gaze, Sugawara Yoshiyo looked at the man's profile and figured out his intentions.
"Jin'er-kun seems to like them very much. If you don't mind, you can pick a few to take home. I have tested them and they are all very sturdy." Sugawara Yoshiyo said cheerfully.
Although he knew that this was a thank you gift for saving the beauty, Chanyuan Shener still felt that his luck today was really good.
"That's really helpful." Chanyuan Shen'er weighed each of them generously, and then chose a knife that was as long as his arm and a nunchaku that was very handy.
"This is a bone-cutting knife specially used for processing cattle and sheep. It is very sharp after being sharpened.
"Jin'er-kun, be careful not to hurt yourself when using it," Sugawara Yoshiyo warned as he put the knife in a cowhide sheath.
Boning Knife, let's try using this tomorrow. It can easily chop the cursed spirit into pieces.
A look of satisfaction appeared on Chanyuan Shen'er's face. "Don't worry, I will make good use of it."
I got the coveted spell tool without spending a penny, and then had a wonderful dinner.
The meat, which looked beautiful in color, was a high-end product that could not be found at the Zenin family. On the other side, the offal was placed on top of the vegetables in the stew pot, coated with sauce and still nestled on the fire.
Zenyuan Shen'er picked up his gloves and added charcoal. When he saw the aroma coming out of the offal hot pot that was placed in the right position, he felt happier than if he had won the horse race.
After he had the idea of leaving Zenyuan's home, Zenyuan Shen'er has been exploring the "outside world", and the most successful thing for him is living in the homes of various women.
If he were to choose among the places he has visited so far, this would be the place where he feels most comfortable.
Of course, a big part of it is because of Jia Shisang’s professional skills and her attitude of enjoying life.
"Shen'erjun, which bottle of wine do you like?" The girl appeared at the window.
Chanyuan Shener pointed to the bottle on the left. He had seen it in TV commercials. It was a high-end product with many zeros.
Although Tian and Zhufu couldn't get drunk due to their physical conditions, Zenyuan was very curious about what such expensive wine tasted like.
He soon found out.
Unlike the bitter taste of barley flowers in beer, this expensive wine has a very refreshing taste in addition to its fragrance, which makes people's mouths water.
The thick-cut steak exudes a charred aroma, and when you bite into it, you can feel the rich juice. It is very delicious even without complicated seasoning.
After the barbecue, there was hot pot. The chewy texture and special taste of the offal mixed with the specially prepared sauce, the food was quickly completely devoured.
"The Japanese are so monotonous in their approach to animal offal. Although it's cheap, offal is really delicious. It took me a long time to find this delicious offal hot pot restaurant."
Zenyuan Shen'er nodded. "The sauce tastes great. This is the first time I've had such delicious offal hot pot."
"After hard work, I have to reward myself with delicious food." Sugawara Yoshiyo shouted.
"That's how it should be." Shen Er agreed, thinking of the perfunctory meals at the Zenyuan family.
After washing all the dishes, Zenyuan Shener realized something. He walked around the kitchen counter and saw the drunk with a red face trying to curl himself up in the rocking chair.
That wine is obviously low in alcohol.
"Jiashisang" Zen Yuan Shener gently pushed the rocking chair: "It's very hard here. If you sleep on it, you will definitely get a stiff neck tomorrow."
"Didn't you say you were going to take a shower?" asked Zenyuan Shener.
Sugawara Yoshiyo suddenly jumped up from the rocking chair, picked up the towel in his hand and handed it to the other party: "As the host, I remembered that there is a place I haven't introduced to you.
There is a huge jacuzzi in my bathroom!"
Chanyuan Shener noticed that the person in front of him seemed to be a little unstable: "Jia Shisang, are you okay?"
Zenyuan didn't wait for an answer, because the drunkard's breathing had steadied, and his body leaned forward and buried his face in his chest.
"You really know how to find a place to sleep." Zenin Jiner sneered, picked up the drunk Sugawara Yoshiyo and threw her on the bed in the master bedroom, then swaggered off to enjoy the jacuzzi.
The bed in the guest room is not big but it is very soft and smells like sunshine.
It's the complete opposite of everything in the Zenin family.
This is probably the kind of life he will live after leaving the Zenin family.
Early in the morning, Chanyuan Shen'er left with half a bag of loquats.
The young man who got the cursed tool looked very high-spirited, with a bright smile on his face.
If he has the chance, he will come back to taste the grapes again.
When the time comes, buy her a bottle of wine that often appears in advertisements.
