stop. She deliberately walks out of the room and consequently closes the door.
Yang Chen is astonished looking at the closed door and starts cracking up. This is truly an abnormal girl, being able to calmly wake up, change and then leave his house. But as Yang Chen is about to leave his bed, he hears a few sobs from outside.
She seems to be crying but she doesn’t want him to know. It’s a pity that she doesn’t know Yang Chen’s ears are different from a normal human’s, thus he can still hear it.
Thinking of the girl holding back her tears, Yang Chen feels even more guilty.
After slightly reorganizing his thoughts, Yang Chen remembers that he still has a stall of fried goat meat to sell. Even if it’s just a small stall, he likes to do it from the beginning as he does not care if there is money or not.
Pushing the cart to his own stall and starting the fire, old man Lee standing next to Yang Chen smiles: “Little Yang, you’re late today. Did you have a date yesterday?”
Yang Chen thinks internally: There wasn’t an actual date, but there was a date on the bed. But externally he casually answers: “Please don’t start thinking strange things, I just overslept!”
Old Lee laughs out loud and says satisfiedly: “Our Jingjing had finished her practice and already went home. She even reminds me of your kind gift. If not for you, I wouldn’t have enough money for my wife and enough to let Jingjing go on her practice trip. It’s all thanks to you.”
Old Lee’s Lee Jingjing is the old couple’s much treasured daughter who just finished university then immediately went for practice the last two months, and she just arrived.
Yang Chen had met her twice. She looks like a typical girl from southern Yangze River, but since she is the daughter of his friend, he didn’t think much about her.
“Haha! What gift? Maybe later when I don’t have any rice to eat, just let me eat the leftovers for you!” Yang Chen jokes.
“Good! Good!” Old man Lee suddenly nods: “Why didn’t you remind me? My wife and Jingjing both asked me to invite you over for a meal to thank you. Are you free tonight?”
– This… Thank you, but you have to work strenuously to feed your family. How could you ask me to eat the hard-earned meal you made?
Pretending to be angry, old man Lee replied: “Just a meal of plain food wouldn’t cost much. Little Yang shouldn’t look down on this old man!”
Yang Chen helplessly nods and accepts as he is unable to convince the stubborn old man. Old man Lee’s face brightens up with joy.
But at the same moment, the group of delinquents appear again, and a wicked grin forms on the leader’s face as he notices Yang Chen with old man Lee.
