Chapter 185

This request was simple, but he may not be able to afford it.

West Street of Baima Town, inside the dilapidated and small courtyard.

Old Guo drank a bit of his own rice wine, and leaned on the recliner. In the fire that did not go out, he looked at the picture in the pendant on his neck. The mother and son in the picture lived in a carefree world and were smiling at him.

“Child, wife, have a good time. I have a good life here. Although the environment is a bit worse, the people’s hearts have not been completely darkened. I have made a few friends and my craftsmanship is getting better by time, so don’t worry.”

In the west house, Meng San sat at the table and rubbed his palms a little. Wu Lili opened the curtain and returned from the kitchen outside. She held a small bowl of steaming dumplings in her hand.

“Eat. I don’t have anybody anymore. Let’s celebrate the New Year,” Wu Lili handed him a pair of chopsticks.

“Yes, let’s celebrate the New Year together,” Meng San happily picked a dumpling and put it into Wu Lili’s bowl. He pondered for a long time, and scratched his head, “Lili, I have changed, and… no more women. You, you…”　　

“Yes, then I will change too. If you want to, I will be with only one man in the future for you,” Wu Lili said readily.

In the diagonal room, Xiao Mu’s New Year’s Eve dinner was much worse than theirs. Two or three buns were placed on an empty table. It was rare food at home.

But the siblings’ hearts were rejoicing. Xiao Hua’s eyes restored the light, his debt was almost paid off. Just before the New Year, Xiao Hua broke through to the second-order, and it was already possible to cure people with small injuries or diseases in the small  base.

“Brother, I will be able to make money in the future, you… don’t work so hard anymore.”

Xiao Mu held the bun in her hand and lowered her head in silence. Xiao Hua gently hummed.

In the cemetery of the Qilin base, Xin Ziming sat cross-legged in front of Feng Chengyu’s tombstone and placed a bowl of wine on the tomb table. He held a wine glass in his hand and gently put it on the ground. 

“Old Feng, you have been gone for so many years. I didn’t think an outsider would remember you.” He smiled and pushed his glasses, “When did you talk about my past with that girl? My reputation is gone.”

In the blacksmith shop on the black street of Spring City, the workers ate hot pot on the stove in the back room. The New Year’s bells rang, mixed with the tinkling sound of iron in the shop. Brother Fatty lifted the curtain out and grabbed Xiao Chai’s neck, “Don’t be busy during the Chinese New Year today. The master is asleep. You can go in and have some food. We have been busy all night.”

“No, brother, I’m full. I still want to…”

“You little baby, don’t worry. In my opinion, the friend you talked about may not blame you.” Brother Fatty burped and hiccuped a little, “You said he lives in Spring City. If he blames you, he would have come and beat you up a long time ago. We brothers may not be able to protect you, haha.”

Xiao Chai’s hammer stopped and he lowered his little head.

“Don’t do this, even if you have done something wrong, just apologize to others. As long as the person is still there, there will always be a chance to make up,” he grabbed Xiao Chai’s neck and dragged him from the cold shop into the fire-lit room without care.

When the bells stopped, Ye Peitian and Chu Qianxun stopped the deep kiss reluctantly.

Chu Qianxun smiled, the laughter overflowed from her throat.

Her eyes reflected her sweetheart, neither a demon nor a Yellow Sand Emperor. What she saw was her sincere appreciation and affection, not pity nor disgust. Her love lingered and haunted his heart.

“Peitian, ​​you are really good. I like you so much. You belong to me, me, alone,” drunken and confused, she said sweet words.

Ye Peitian’s heartbeat accelerated. She said such love words, loudly and fiercely. He noticed that someone’s eyes fell on their corner, but he couldn’t hold himself back. He just wanted to get close to the bright lips.

“I’ll be better, Qianxun. One day, I will dedicate my best to you.”

‘You pulled me out of that hell. The next road I will be better, and eventually become a man who can stand with you in the sun, a man who could bring you happiness.‘

Chu Qianxun stepped back a little, she obviously misunderstood what he said. 

She was blushing as she said to Ye Peitian’s ear in embarrassment, “You can dedicate yourself to me in the evening. Let me see what is better.”
