Chapter 126 - Aren't I great? Want to be my girlfriend? (4)
The next morning, Fang Chen and his family discovered that the windows and doors in the other rooms had been reinforced with metal.
Fang Ye was shocked, but Fang Chen wasn't surprised at all. Since Lu Xingchi had rescued his dad yesterday, he looked at Lu Xingchi with great admiration.
Bei Nuan thought that even if Lu Xingchi ripped off shirt, clenched his fist, and flew into the sky like Superman, Fang Chen would probably think that was normal.
Lu Xingchi and the others moved Fang Chen's dad into the next room. Then, Lu Xingchi went into the master bedroom and tinkered around to reinforce the remaining windows too. After that, he took Bei Nuan out.
They ran outside for a day and collected a lot of supplies for Fang Chen and his family, enough to last them for a while.
Once Lu Xingchi had arranged everything, he would definitely plan on leaving, but she still had to fulfill one more wish for Fang Chen.
Now that Fang Chen had his dad, he was prancing around the house with health and vitality. He looked very content.
Bei Nuan truly couldn't find any opportunities, so she simply dragged him to the small balcony to speak alone with him and laid her cards on the table.
"Fang Chen, when I met you yesterday, I said to myself that I would definitely fulfill three of your wishes." Bei Nuan's tone was gentle. Even she felt that she was like a warm-hearted fairy. "Now that two wishes have been fulfilled, there's still one left. What do you want?"
Fang Chen silently looked at her.
After a long time, he suddenly said, "Big Sister, have you read too many fairy tales?"
Fang Chen looked at Bei Nuan with worry and genuine concern.
"Big Brother Lu said there's zombies everywhere now. It's easy for psychological problems to occur when people are under great metal pressure. Big Sister, are you imagining yourself as a fairy to escape reality? Big Brother Lu is great at understanding people's psychology, and he's super amazing. Talk to him when you have time."
Bei Nuan: "..."
This kid was clearly expressing in a roundabout way - you're crazy.
Bei Nuan despaired. "Okay, then for the sake of my mental health, just say any wish. Wish for something yummy to eat or anything along the lines. Then we'll be done. Okay?"
Fang Chen shook his head. "I don't want any food. I only have one wish now. I hope that my mom can come back."
Bei Nuan couldn't do that.
"Change your wish, anything except that," Bei Nuan said.
"There's really nothing else I want. Big Brother Lu has already prepared everything for us."
Fang Chen thought it over, and his eyes suddenly brightened.
"Oh right, my last wish is, can you help bring Big Brother Xiao Ji home? His parents are at home. He really wants to go back, but he feels too awkward to trouble you guys with that request."
He was referring to his dad's coworker, the young man they had rescued at the bank along with Fang Chen's dad.
Fang Chen's last wish was surprisingly to fulfill someone else's wish.
No matter what, she had to fulfill his last wish.
Bei Nuan cheered up. "I'll go ask your super amazing Big Brother Lu."
Lately, Lu Xingchi granted all of Bei Nuan's requests.
"Since you're the one asking, of course it's no problem. We'll bring him along when we leave tomorrow morning and drop him off," Lu Xingchi said.
Having hope that Fang Chen's last wish could be fulfilled, Bei Nuan was elated. "How can you be so wonderful?"
Lu Xingchi lightly answered, "I want to use my kindness to you to contrast how cold and heartless you are to me."
Bei Nuan: "..."
So the next morning, the team bid farewell to the Fang family. When they left, there was an additional person in the jeep, Xiao Ji.
Lu Xingchi drove the jeep out of Hui City.
Bei Nuan was a bit puzzled and asked Lu Xingchi, "Aren't we sending Xiao Ji home? Why are we leaving the city?"
Xiao Ji was sitting in the last row with Tang Tang. Feeling bad that he was inconveniencing them, he answered, "I told Brother Lu that my hometown isn't in Hui City. I stayed in Hui City to work after graduating college."
"Where's your hometown then?"Bei Nuan asked.
"My hometown isn't that far. It'll probably take five to six hours of driving. It's a small place that many people don't know about," Xiao Ji shyly replied, "It's called Yao Town."
Yao Town?
Bei Nuan thought; I really do know that place. It was the place where the novel's Bei Nuan was seriously injured.
Fate couldn't be avoided. What happened in Hui City was just a detour. She couldn't escape the plot.
