Only then did they realize that Qiu Shui was already asleep in bed, curled up in the blankets, seemingly very cold.
"..."
She has no sense of security at all. She fell asleep in a strange man's house without any precautions. Isn't she afraid that he will be immoral?
Tian Ma Xingke shook his head.
...
In the middle of the night, Qiu Shui felt unwell and her body felt hot. She opened her eyes and found that the overhead light had been turned off.
"The traveler has come out?"
She thought vaguely.
She got up and pulled back the covers, feeling a thick blanket. Looking down, she realized she was covered with two blankets! No wonder she was so hot.
Looking to the side, there was a soft, fluffy pillow lying next to her...?
Looking past the pillow, she saw Tian Ma Xingke lying properly on the bed, covered with a thin blanket.
Isn't he cold?
Qiu Shui moved one of the blankets over to the other side, Tian Ma Xingke turned over, and the sound of soft breathing filled the room.
She covered him with a blanket, when suddenly she heard a scraping and colliding sound outside the window, followed by a series of shouts. The sound of motorcycles and the shouts of men and women arguing startled her.
This place is really unstable!
Qiu Shui lowered her eyes and looked out the window. Her heart trembled as a group of burly men came into view.
She hurriedly drew the curtains, plunging the room into darkness. On the cabinet, she saw the housekeeper in standby mode.
Lying in bed, she had a strange feeling; she realized that having another person in the family after marriage was like this.
She suddenly missed Xiaoxiao. She envied her because she had someone to accompany her through the long years.
I wonder how her marriage is going now, and how her husband is doing.
The next morning, Qiu Shui was awakened by a loud sawing sound.
"Hmm...?"
"You're awake? Get up and have some food."
Tian Ma Xingke was packing his things on the side.
"Are you opening for business?"
Qiu Shui realized what was happening.
"No, I..."
Bang bang bang!
"Hey! Kid surnamed Chen, open the door! You haven't paid your protection fee for this month! Pay it now!"
A commotion erupted downstairs.
Tian Ma Xingke's face turned pale. He told Qiu Shui to keep quiet and close the door tightly before taking his wallet and going downstairs.
How much is it this month?
Qiu Shui ran to the door and eavesdropped on the sounds below.
"Seven hundred and fifty."
A scoundrel said.
"That's too much, I only have five hundred."
"Five hundred? Let's try to scrape together some more. Brother Qiang can't possibly accept this amount!"
"Only five hundred."
"Five hundred? Then I'll take one of your motorcycles, what do you say?"
"Don't go looking for trouble."
"Tian Ma Xingke said in a low voice."
"What, you want to fight me?!"
...
The sounds below grew louder and louder, and Qiu Shui could tell that the traveler was about to fight those people.
"Butler, where is the flying car?"
She asked anxiously.
"Eleven kilometers away."
"Speed up and get it to come over here!"
"The system is running..."
downstairs
As Shen Shiyang lifted the huge wrench, he regretted it. Qiu Shui was here today too. What if those people came upstairs to cause trouble if a fight broke out?
"How about 550?"
He asked hesitantly.
Huh?
The rogue, who was ready to make a move, was stunned. This kid actually raised the price? Why is he being so agreeable today? Has he changed his ways?
"No, it has to be 750!"
They were uncompromising.
Hearing them say that, Shen Shiyang's temper flared up. He had been annoyed by this group of people who had come to cause trouble in the middle of the month!
"Beep beep!"
Two loud sounds suddenly came from afar, and everyone looked outside.
A white car slowly drove in on the narrow road, but there was no one in the driver's seat!
"A ghost car?!"
Everyone was stunned.
The car ignored their emotions, slowly entered the shop, stopped at the car wash area, and opened the door.
Blue smoke billowed from the exhaust pipes, and Shen Shiyang became alert.
Is this your car?
A rogue asked.
"no."
Shen Shiyang looked at the car, searching his mind for information about it.
"I heard that the national idol Xu Zi came to our city of Hughes and was accidentally hit by a white car at the exhibition hall. I think this car looks a lot like the one in the news!"
Another scoundrel said.
"What's so special about this car? Wait! Shen Shiyang, you're a mechanic, you didn't order this car to hit Xu Zi, did you?"
After he said that, the thugs were taken aback and stopped rushing to collect protection money.
"The police will come after you! Bad luck! If you don't end up in jail, we'll come back to ask you for money again. Get out of here!"
A group of people arrived in a lively manner and left quietly, and Qiu Shui upstairs breathed a sigh of relief.
Shen Shiyang put down the wrench. He had just learned that Xu Zi had been hit by a car, and he had planned to take action against her today, but who knew that halfway there...
Could this have been made by Haitang?
No, if it were Haitang, he wouldn't have needed to go through such a roundabout way. Besides, he knows he's not the kind of person who holds grudges.
But if it weren't for him, there would only be one person left who had a personal grudge against Xu Zi.
He looked at the roof.
Autumn waters?
"Beep, car wash instruction issued."
An electronic voice suddenly rang out from the flying car, interrupting his train of thought.
What is it going to do?
Bang!
The flying car swayed back and forth a few times, then suddenly flew up and crashed into the roof! With a scream, Qiu Shui fell off the roof.
