"Ming Ming, Mother knows you like children very much. At that time, no matter if you damage your body, you still stuck a Calming Spirit Talisman and came for a look.â [T/N: Iâm not quite sure with my translation in this sentence] Madam Lou said with difficulty, âMother is just thinking, if I explain everything clearly to Jiang Siqi and if sheâs still willing, then why donât you try? Even just having a child is okay, ah.â
âMom!â Lou Mingâs voice revealed a deep pain, his fingertips holding the phone were white because of the force he exerted.
âYou think about it again, Mother will hang up first.â
Listening to the busy tone on the phone, Lou Mingâs expression was complicated and painfully sad. He didnât know how to comfort his broken-hearted mother, nor could he hurt Jiang Siqi.
âClackâŠâ
The sudden sound made Lou Ming jerk back. He frowned as he watched potato chips rolling in from outside the door then half the head and the frowning eyebrows of an embarrassed girl peeked through.
âIf I say⊠that I just came here, do you believe me?â Chen Yu asked cautiously, showing her head from outside the door.
âWhat do you think?â Lou Ming asked rhetorically.
âThen I wonât explain it.â Chen Yu saw that her beating around the bush wouldn't pass, so she simply squatted on the ground and picked up the fallen chips.
ââŠâ this little girl really broke the jar, Lou Ming found it irritating but also funny, âItâs already fallen, donât pick it up to eat again.â
âItâs okay, the floor is so clean, I can eat it once I pick it up.â Chen Yu said indifferently, âBesides, a couple of germs wonât do me any harm.â
Lou Ming didnât say anything further when she said that. Chen Yuâs sudden appearance dilutes his sadness from talking with Madam Lou. Lou Ming put down the phone, looked at the half-drawn blueprint on the table, and picked up a pen to continue drawing.
Chen Yu picked up all the potato chips on the ground one by one then went out to find a broom to sweep away some fine debris on the ground. Seeing that everything was more or less done, she walked to Lou Mingâs desk while holding her picked up potato chips. She looked at the blueprint and asked in surprise, âIs this a rifle?â
Lou Ming raised his head in surprise, âYou havenât gone out yet?â
âThird Brother, are you angry?â Chen Yu asked cautiously.
âYouâŠâ Lou Ming really was disinclined to fuss about one little girl, it wasnât a big matter but itâs just a bit embarrassing, âDonât do this again.â
âEn, en, I promise, if I accidentally hear it again in the future, I will turn my head and leave.â Chen Yu vowed solemnly.
âSo, you eavesdropped on purpose just now?â Lou Min laughed in a bit of anger.
âThird brother, havenât you guessed it already?â Chen Yu covered her mouth in horror, âYou tricked me!â
ââŠâ Lou Ming suddenly felt rather stifled, he didnât want to talk anymore so he just bent his head and continued calculating datas.
After a while had passed, Chen Yu suddenly called out again, âThird BrotherâŠâ
âWhatâs the matter?â Seeing that she delayed and didnât leave, Lou Ming guessed Chen Yu had something she wanted to say with him.
âI have a very powerful grandfather; he was the one who taught me all my skills. Although heâs sometimes very unreliable, his skills are undoubtedly good.â Chen Yu said all of a sudden.
âI know ah.â Lou Ming was a bit astonished, âYou told me before.â
âSometime ago, my grandpa suddenly contacted me. He gave me the way to deal with the living dead.â Chen Yu said.
âBut I only have my grandpaâs penguin number, I donât know why he keeps on not giving me his number.â Chen Yu was vexed, âBut I left a message for him.â
âLeft a message?â Lou Ming looked at Chen Yu suspiciously.
âI left a message asking my grandpa to see if thereâs any way to solve the evil spirit in Third Brotherâs body.â Chen Yu said, âI have never forgotten the things I promised Third Brother.â
Lou Ming was taken aback for a moment. He didnât expect Chen Yu to mention this out of nowhere, but he nodded happily, âThank you.â
âSo, Third BrotherâŠâ Chen Yu remembered what she overheard, âDo you want to try and be in contact with the sister who has the noble aura now?â
Lou Mingâs expression became stiff. It took him a while before he said, âI canât do anything until the evil spirit is completely resolved. I canât hurt Miss Jiang, nor can I give my mother groundless hope.â
âThen, Third Brother, how about you?â Chen Yu asked with her eyes wide open, âYou neither want to hurt the sister nor your mother. Everyone is worried about you but youâre not worried about yourself.â
Lou Mingâs hands trembled and the pen he held snapped off, leaving a black mark on the manuscript paper.
âSure enough, you still have to rely on me!â
Lou Ming jerked his head up.
âWho told me to overhear you just now?â Chen Yu smiled, âIâll take care of your evil spirit. I will definitely think of a way.â
Lou Mingâs heart warmed up and he smiled, âDonât talk big, what if you canât solve it?â
âHuh??â Chen Yu said while eating chips, âThird Brotherâs mother wants Third Brother to have a blind date. She definitely doesnât want Third Brother to be alone. If I canât solve the evil spirit, then Iâm just gonna stay with Third Brother, ah, I wonât let Third Brother be by himself.â
âStupid girl.â Lou Ming flicked his fingers on Chen Yuâs forehead with a warm smile in his eyes.
