Chapter 672: Chapter 658: Monkey Stealing Peaches
Dawn broke.
Ye Chen rose early. The night ant anxiety over whether he could kill Yang Jing, help Shi Mu beco the city’s ruler, and then deal with Yuan nhai.
Looking down at the bustling streets, he could hear the hawkers calling out their offerings of Grilled Sesa Seed Cakes.
Before long, Yun’er ca in with so food.
Ye Chen turned his head and was quite astonished. He smiled and said, “I can’t believe you actually went out to buy breakfast.”
“What’s wrong? Feeling happy?” Guo Yuyun placed the food on the table.
“It feels like the sun is about to rise from the west.” Ye Chen continued, “Seeing you get up so early is a rare sight.”
Yun’er laid out the food, a generous assortnt of Grilled Sesa Seed Cakes, at Sandwich Buns, and Dumplings, all spreading warm and inviting aromas.
“Worried about what’s happening tonight?”
Ye Chen walked over, sat across from Yun’er, shook his head and said, “Not really.”
A light shower began to fall outside, making the morning feel sowhat chill.
“These aren’t bad, right?” Yun’er tasted the steaming Grilled Sesa Seed Cakes.
Ye Chen nodded, saying, “Mmm-hmm, it’s quite blissful.”
“If things in the Wastelands are settled, will you return to the Central Plains?”
“Return to Central Plains for what? To find your sister?” Ye Chen teased.
“You genuinely plan on living out your life in these Wastelands?”
“Why not!”
“After all, it’s the Wastelands.”
“The most important thing is to be happy and to live joyously.”
“That’s true. But I think young people should explore the world.”
“Let’s discuss that after everything is over.” His eyelids had started to twitch again, he didn’t rember the last ti they twitched like that.
“Even though I’ve spent so ti in the Wastelands and have adapted, I still miss the Central Plains.”
On hearing this, Ye Chen said, “Then just go back. Hurry and let your mother find soone better for you, get married and let it be, why the fuss? Life’s short, you should cherish your ti, especially during your blooming years. Once past, you’ll be left as wilted flowers and broken branches, nobody will want you then.”
“You can’t spit ivory out of a dog’s mouth.”
“I’m only speaking the truth.”
Yun’er gave a cold smile and continued eating her dumplings.
“Really, nothing is as important as the present mont because it’s unique, won’t return once past, one must treasure it.” Ye Chen spoke with a sigh.
“Then, why don’t you treasure ?”
“I do treasure you, that’s why I’m giving you advice.”
“Bullshit.”
Ye Chen gave a fake laugh and continued eating. Not long after, Li Mo ca in, bringing more food. Seeing them eating, he said, “Didn’t expect you guys to wake up early, you’re already having breakfast.”
“Mmm, haven’t you had breakfast yet? Co join us.” Ye Chen invited.
“No thank you, I’ll join the others downstairs.” Li Mo placed the food he’d brought before leaving.
Glutinous rice chicken, rice dumplings, and other things were basically similar to what Yun’er had brought.
Yun’er said, “Tonight, we could have hot pot.” This weather was suitable for hot pot, and she suddenly felt like having so.
“We haven’t even finished breakfast, and you’re already thinking about hot pot for dinner. Truly a foodie.” Ye Chen said.
“There’s no harm in thinking ahead!”
“There’s a lot going on tonight.”
“I ant after we’re done.”
“If only everyone could be as carefree as you.”
Ye Chen walked to the window, the rain had picked up a notch, but watching couples huddled under a single umbrella, strolling on the streets, he found it amusing.
Ye Chen then said, “Why don’t we take an oil-paper umbrella and go for a walk in the rain?”
Yun’er gave a small laugh and looked at him, saying, “You’re really poetic, wanting to take a stroll in the rain under an oil-paper umbrella.”
“Hey, it’ll be a morable experience, just imagine the romance of huddling under one umbrella.”
“Nonsense, it’s not morable at all!”
“You truly don’t understand romance.” Ye Chen said.
A gust of wind brought in a few raindrops, adding a bit of chill to the air.
“Don’t you miss ho at all?” Ye Chen sat down and curiously asked.
“What’s there to miss?”
The summoned Red Demonic Spirit said, “She’s missing a man, not ho!”
Under their back and forth banter, breakfast passed and the rain also reduced significantly.
Yun’er unexpectedly stood up, saying, “Let’s go, for a stroll in the rain.”
“Weren’t you uninterested?” Ye Chen asked.
“Well, you like it. I can accompany you for a while.” Yun’er said.
Ye Chen looked at her, imagining what a stroll in the rain would be like.
Yun’er asked, “Are we going or not?”
“We’re going, of course we’re going. Let’s see who becos a drowned rat first.”
“You two are unbelievable!” The Red Demonic Spirit had already retreated to the bed side.
Yun’er warned, “Don’t you dare leave the room, Red Demonic Spirit, stop peeping at girls when they’re bathing, you’ll go blind!”
“Nonsense! When did I peep at anyone bathing!”
Yun’er smirked.
Ye Chen laughed heartily, asking, “Did he peep at you bathing?”
A foot ca flying at him, threatening, “Are we going or not?”
“We’re going, of course we’re going, can’t miss out on this fun.” Ye Chen followed her out.
“So romantic indeed.” The Red Demonic Spirit said.
Ye Chen and Yun’er had already left the room, reaching the main gate of the courtyard, where the rain was dripping down.
“My poet, let’s go!” Yun’er called out.
“Why do I feel like I’m strolling with a monster? Can’t I choose soone else?” He seed to regret it.
“What about the one from the Mysterious Fragrance Pavilion?” Yun’er glared at him.
“If that’s the case, I’d be cut down by a few years.”
A tight grip caused Ye Chen to wince and cry out in pain.
The Red Demonic Spirit was peeping from the second-floor window, laughing quietly.
Yun’er gave him a kick, opened the oil-paper umbrella, and followed. She asked, “Where to?”
“I don’t know, let’s go for a spin. Maybe to Lover’s Lake?”
“Hehe, unclean thoughts.”
“Among adults, who doesn’t feel lonely and cold?” The duo had already left the Inn, squeezed under the sa oil-paper umbrella.
One hand, like a good buddy, placed itself on Yun’er’s shoulder.
“What are you trying to do?” Yun’er was cautious.
“Just keeping you warm,” Ye Chen said.
“You’re definitely fantasizing and seizing the opportunity to grope!”
“What a crude way to put it. We’re just keeping each other warm.”
“My ass! If you touch
again, I’ll kick you into the rain, looking like a drowned rat.”
“You’ve ruined my mood, this isn’t what I imagined it would be.”
“And what were you imagining? That I wouldn’t resist and let you do whatever you want?”
“Well, not exactly. We are in the street, we can’t go too far.” Ye Chen responded.
Under the umbrella, the two swayed together. It looked as if a la person was under the umbrella as they moved forward unevenly, punctuated by the occasional yelp.
After walking for an unknown length of ti, a familiar figure suddenly appeared ahead, scaring Ye Chen into turning around.
“What’s wrong, have you seen a lover?” Guo Yuyun asked.
“No, it’s Hong Ying.”
Hong Ying, leading a large group of people, was coming straight towards them. She recognized Ye Chen, damn, how could they run into her right now? If they were discovered, it could alert Yang Jing’s people anyti, he did not want any accidents at this critical mont.
Just as they were about to turn and leave, a voice from behind said, “Madam.” It was Jue Ming.
Just about to greet Hong Ying, they were suddenly cut off, the duo quickly turned their faces and moved towards the side of the road, but it was very narrow here.
They could only squeeze under the oil-paper umbrella, the umbrella was like a pot lid, covering their heads.
The two beca one.
“Hey, don’t touch !” Guo Yuyun protested.
“Miss, it’s a critical ti, if we are discovered, we’re done for tonight.”
“You have bad breath, you know!”
“Nonsense!”
“If you touch
again, I’ll poke your eyes out, believe it or not.”
“Ouch…ouc..” Ye Chen yelled.
“I knew it, you’re just trying to take advantage.”
“Why should I bother? It’s too late now.” Ye Chen mumbled and said, “Co on, give
a kiss…Ah…No, not there…”
“Why is Madam not busy?” Jue Ming asked.
“Yeah, I just want to take a stroll, the City Lord won’t accompany .” Hong Ying said.
“But it’s raining!”
“The rain isn’t heavy, I’m just going to buy sothing and go back.”
“Do you need to buy food or sothing? I can bring it over.”
“No need, just go about your business.”
“Feel free to co over for tea when you’re not busy.”
“Sure.”
The two groups finally left without realizing what was happening.
“Are you finished behaving like this?” Guo Yuyun pinched Ye Chen until he cried out in pain.
Ye Chen turned his head, and luckily the two groups had finally gone, he sighed in relief and kept rubbing his sore arm, he rolled up his sleeve to reveal bruises, “This romantic stroll in the rain, I look like a brown bear.” He showed Yuyun.
“You brought this upon yourself.” Guo Yuyun turned away.
“Hey, my girl, if we continue this way, one day if we’re together, I’ll beco a giant panda.”
With a loud splash, a heavy rain suddenly thundered down, and the oil-paper umbrella just could not cope.
“Damn it, we are going to be drenched.” They sprinted to shelter under an eave.
Yun’er glanced at her wet hair and clothes, she shivered and said, “A romantic stroll in the rain, my foot.”
Ye Chen said, “Then let’s go back and play in the water.”
“Play in the water, my ass!” She opened the umbrella again ready to leave.
“I haven’t co yet.”
“You just go be a drowned rat.” She had to go back and change her clothes, muttering, “I thought it’d be romantic, it was just a lousy idea.”
Looking at the street, that girl had left alone.
She returned to the room.
Upon seeing that only Yun’er had returned, looking like a completely soaked chicken, the Red Demonic Spirit asked, “Where’s the guy who was strolling in the rain with you?”
“A complete jerk, I actually believed his romantic nonsense.” Yun’er sipped the hot tea, shivering from the cold.
The Red Demonic Spirit was laughing.
“I can’t believe I fell for romance!” Yun’er shook her head and headed out, shouting, “Waiter, get
a pot of hot water.”
