“Captain, it’s her.” Jian Ying pointed at Ming Shu and said in a low voice, “I didn’t see her in the file, she must’ve sneaked in.”
The hooligan Lu Jiu uttered a gee, “Boss, isn’t she the little girl you just brought here? Why is she up here.”
Jian Ying’s expression changed a little after hearing Lu Jiu’s words. She was brought here by the captain?
“Relax, she’s brought by the boss. Perhaps she was found out there, and there happened to have some problems in need of handling here, so the boss brought her. Speaking of which, Sister Jian Ying, why are you here?” Lu Jiu explained to Jian Ying and asked a question.
“Oh……” Jian Ying patted her own chest and acted like she was well relieved now. She ought to stay at the Evil Spirit Office at this time, but Jian Ying didn’t panic and she explained calmly, “Something happened to my friend so I came to give a hand. I’m ready to return now, and I’ve asked for the leave.”
Lu Jiu didn’t suspect and continued smilingly, “Then let’s go back together later.”
Jian Ying was still thinking about that evil spirit, and she was afraid Ming Shu would talk wildly, so she shook her head with a guilty conscience, “No, I’d better go back first. I won’t help if I stay.”
“Okay, be careful.” Lu Jiu didn’t insist then.
Jian Ying looked at Ming Shu, greeted Hua Jian who didn’t react a little, then slipped away quickly.
Hua Jian walked toward Ming Shu. He was born handsome and beautiful, and as he walked over, many passersby gave him sidelong glances.
But Hua Jian looked steadily forward, “Why did you go up?”
Ming Shu tilted her head, “Ah, you didn’t say I can’t get up.”
Hua Jian remained silent for several seconds and then continued in a steady voice, “Follow me, don’t run about.”
Ming Shu looked at the direction where Jian Ying left for a while, then in the end, she yielded to snacks and followed behind Hua Jian quietly.
That little girl was finally found in a shop. In order to avoid startling ordinary people, it took them a long while to catch her.
The little girl would be taken to the Evil Spirit Office. If they didn’t do anything harmful to humans, these evil spirits would get some education in the Evil Spirit Office and once determined they meant no harm, they would be given corresponding identities to live in the human world in the future.
The little girl was filled with anger and she screamed to Ming Shu, “You’re with them, too! Let go of me, let go of me!”
Lu Jiu sighed, “I’ve told you we’re not bad guys. We won’t harm you.”
But the little girl’s emotion was very excited, “Liar, you’re all liars!”
Lu Jiu was at a loss what to do now. But Hua Jian still didn’t react much. He calmly ordered them to take the little girl back, meanwhile he would send Ming Shu back.
Ming Shu finished all the remaining snacks along the way.
As soon as Hua Jian pushed the door open, he was welcomed by an axe. He pulled Ming Shu to move aside, and the axe cut into the door frame.
Jin Dongyi’s roaring immediately sounded, “Who let you take her out! Didn’t I tell you to leave her alone? Were you listening to me or not?”
Hua Jian remained cool as always. “She was hungry.”
Ming Shu’s eyes had already rested on the table in the yard and she darted over swiftly.
“How dare you!” Jin Dongyi roared and rushed over to the table as well at the same time.
Ming Shu and Jin Dongyi caught on the plate’s two sides simultaneously.
“Loose your hand!” Jin Dongyi widened his angry and fierce eyes.
“Don’t me so stingy, I’ll just have one bite.” Ming Shu smiled and pulled the plate to her own side, “I’m starving.”
“You’re an evil spirit, don’t you absorb the essence of the Sun and the Moon? If not, you can absorb the Yang Qi!” Jin Dongyi pulled the plate back to his side, “Don’t you know the virtue of respecting the aged and taking good care of the young. How can you grab food from an aged man like me!”
“I like meat.” Ming Shu pulled the plate again, “Please take good care of me, I’m very young.”
Hua Jian went upstairs in silence while the two fighting for a plate of meat.
As he just arrived upstairs, Jin Dongyi’s roar sounded again. Hua Jian pushed the window open to look down.
Under the overlapped peach blossoms, the little girl sat on the branch with the plate, and Jin Dongyi stamped his feet below angrily.
Jin Dongyi witnessed Ming Shu finish the whole plate of meat but couldn’t do anything to stop it. He decided to vent the anger upon Hua Jian.
“Why do you come here all of a sudden?”
Hua Jian was on his phone when Jin Dongyi broke in without knocking on the door. He looked at him first, then said to the man on the other side of the phone, “We’ll discuss it when I go back.”
He hung up the phone, meeting Jin Dongyi’s angry sights, and answered quietly, “The rent is due and I can’t find a place to settle for the time being.”
“Ho.” Jin Dongyi sounded very ironically, “Your salary is over 100,000 yuan for a month yet you tell me you can’t find a place to live. Do you need to squeeze in my broken attic?”
“Since you don’t believe what I said, then why bother asking?”
Hua Jian’s ordinary sentence yet almost made Jin Dongyi explode with anger. He pointed at Hua Jian and stuttered for half a day, without organizing any reply.
In the end, Jin Dongyi uttered angrily, “You’re not allowed to take her out again, otherwise I’ll break your leg.”
Hua Jian didn’t respond. Jin Dongyi didn’t care he agreed or not and then went downstairs quickly.
Before long, another round of general turmoil began to play down there. Jin Dongyi roared loudly, and if it weren’t for the globe of invulnerability, the neighbors would have called the police and accused him of disturbing residents.
In the evening, Ming Shu lay on the peach tree and poked the peach blossom reaching before her eyes.
Jin Dongyi listened to the opera in his room. The loud music sounded very harsh.
Hua Jian walked out of the house. As he passed the peach tree, Ming Shu suddenly popped out her head. “Little brother.”
Hua Jian looked up at her. The moonlight was pale and blurred, her body was hidden in the peach blossoms, almost blending into them.
But her eyes were as light as the stars in the sky, glittering and shining.
“What’s up?”
“Are you going out?”
“Yes.”
Ming Shu jumped down from the tree while the peach blossoms flying around her, “Can you bring me some snacks?”
I’m so upset that I don’t have money.
Hua Jian’s eyes swept over Ming Shu and his tone was cool, “I bought you lots of snacks in the afternoon.”
Ming Shu shook out an empty bag from behind, “I’ve finished them all.”
“.……”
“Little bastard, where do you want to take her again?” The opera music stopped at some certain time but no one noticed, Jin Dongyi stood at the door with one hand on the hip and another pointing at Hua Jian. He totally looked like an old guy cursing in the street.
“I’m not taking her out.” Hua Jian explained indifferently.
“Then why do you talk to her.” Jin Dongyi continued roaring, “If you’re leaving, go quickly, don’t play an eyesore here.”
Hua Jian silenced for a moment, then turned around to walk outside the yard.
Ming Shu caught up with him in small steps. Jin Dongyi rushed out hurriedly and put on a fierce look. “What, do you want to elope with him?”
Hua Jian turned his head and said lightly, “I’ll buy snacks for you.”
Ming Shu smiled. “Thank you. You’re a good person and you’ll be blessed with life-long peace.”
“Good person?” Jin Dongyi sounded like he heard a joke, “If he is a good person, then there won’t be any other good person in this world.”
“You’re also a good person.” Ming Shu continued giving out the good-person card.
Everyone that gives me snacks is a good person.
May kind people be blessed with life-long peace.
Jin Dongyi uttered a cold hum and then twisted his aged waist to get into the house. Before long, the opera music came from inside again.
