T/N: I lost track of the time. And like this, my week flew away. 🕊

---

At seven or eight o’clock, the market was extremely noisy, and the noise was so loud that it teases people’s nerve endings after a tiring day, dragging them along and consuming all the remaining energy before going to bed.

A row of food stalls were arranged from one side of the street to the end of the street. Several men were shirtless, crossed legs, drinking and playing finger guessing games, and some had toothpicks stuck in their mouths and their legs propped up on plastic chairs. Some were spitting and littering, and some stood up to eat and drink, spraying saliva all over the table. Also some were shouting loudly with beers in hand, tapping the dishes with chopsticks, and urging the dishes to be served quickly with impatient expressions on their faces.

Young girls would sit together at a table in small groups. They would not drink, only order some mutton kebabs and grilled squid, avoid the noisy men, talk and laugh, and exchange little things about each other.

If a family goes out, they don’t attract too much attention, and can eat as much as they order. After eating, they can go shopping and watch the excitement without causing trouble.

The streets were full of dust, jumping up and down with the exhaust fumes of cars. The sound of pots and pans colliding inside the small door face came and went, and the guys were busy hitting the back of their heads.

Unknowingly, the aroma of wine and food mixed with the smell of sweat mixed with other smells, and was blown everywhere by the hot night wind.

Huang Dan squatted on the side of the road, looking from left to right and from front to back. He found that the nearby environment was dirty and messy too.

In the real world, Huang Dan has lived for decades and has never had a roadside meal, nor has he really come into contact with these people living at the bottom. After he came into contact with them, he was very repulsive at first and it was hard to endure, but he gradually got used to it.

Huang Dan is indeed growing up, but he is an indifferent person at heart. He can completely ignore it like he did in the past, or he can try to observe, pay attention, and think about others like he does now.

However, Huang Dan understood one thing through traveling time and time again. Everyone has their own life, and they walk, run, crawl, fall, and fall down on their own life path. No matter what kind of life it is, as long as it doesn’t break the law, or violate morality and conscience, it should be respected.

If those things are violated, Huang Dan could only refuse to respect them. He can’t ask other people to be like him, whether they respect or not is beyond his control, that’s all. He has no right to interfere and has no position, because that is the life chosen by others.

Being happy is the most important thing in life.

Huang Dan is happier now than before, and he knows it.

Even though he doesn’t know when his journey through time will end, he can always experience things he has never experienced before, face situations he has never faced before, and be forced by the situation to understand the hearts of people he has never understood before. He is still very happy because it is fulfilling.

Moreover, the inexplicable time travel allowed him to enjoy being loved while also loving others. This is the biggest difference between the real world and the mission world.

Huang Dan put the can on the ground, patted the few large mosquitoes that were clinging to his arm and refused to fly away. It’s almost okay to drink, but don’t be greedy.

There were many mosquito bites on the two exposed arms, as well as on a small part of the ankle under the trouser leg. Each one was big and red. Huang Dan looked at it and sighed in his heart. If his pain nerves were still there, he would scratch them and cry at the same time.

Sun Siqing drank too much and talked a lot. He talked a lot about it, talking about how prosperous he was in the past, but how poor he is now. He also said that prices had risen and he couldn’t afford this or that. He planned to sell the house and moved to another place. He cannot return to his hometown no matter what, and it is too shameful.

After finishing the last bottle of beer and throwing it away, Sun Siqing burped, leaned his head against the telephone pole, closed his eyes, and gasped for air.

Huang Dan glanced at the beer bottles staggering on the ground. He collected them one by one and placed them next to the trash can.

Within two minutes, a junk collector came over dragging a snakeskin bag, quickly took away a large bag of beer bottles, and said cheerfully, “Thank you, young man.”

Huang Dan pointed to the food stall, “There are a lot of them over there.”

The junk collector rummaged around in the trash can with dirty black hands, but couldn’t find anything. He smacked his lips in disappointment, “There are more people to fight over, but if one misses it or run a step slower, others will definitely rush over to catch up.”

Huang Dan was stunned. After the junk collector left, he came back to his senses. He supported the middle-aged man who was about to fall, “Sun Shushu, are you going back?”

Sun Siqing said he would not go back, but had already stood up holding on to the telephone pole.

Huang Dan checked his pockets and found that his keys and wallet were all there, not lost. He raised his foot and followed Sun Siqing.

Sun Siqing staggered forward, his sweaty gray coat draped over his shoulders. He stuck out his tongue and his mouth smelled of alcohol, “Xiao Ji, tell me, why is this person so useless?”

Huang Dan looked at the unsteady back of the middle-aged man, who was in his forties, his wife ran away with someone and could not be found and would not come back, had accomplished nothing and stopped struggling, had a negative attitude towards life, and just lived for one day.

Sun Siqing spat on the ground and cursed, “LaoZi ran into misfortune, and every one of them has completely cut off their relationship with LaoZi, and they are still trying to show off their prestige, which is an added insult to injury. Damn it, when LaoZi was prosperous, those people all fucking begged to be XiongDi and grandsons of LaoZi, and rushing over to take advantage of it, eager to get into LaoZi’s crotch and lick LaoZi’s shoes!”

Huang Dan said, “You also said it was a time of flourishing.”

The hypocrisy of the world. He understands the principle.

Sun Siqing, who was in front, suddenly froze. He turned around and bloodshot eyes glared at him with fierceness, as if he had stabbed in the foot and wanted to eat someone to reduce the pain.

Huang Dan’s face was calm. There were people coming and going on the street, so he wasn’t worried.

Sun Siqing’s eyes were bloodshot and the veins on his neck were protruding. He grabbed Huang Dan’s T-shirt on his chest and fell forward the next moment.

Huang Dan brought Sun Siqing back to the community and dragged him up the stairs to the third floor. He was perspiring all over his body and was exhausted. He gasped and asked, “Sun Shushu, where is your key?”

Sun Siqing sat on the ground, unconscious.

Huang Dan glanced at No. 301, where the deceased Old Zhang lived across the door, and remembered what Sun Siqing had said while standing at the door and knocking on the door that night. His body’s temperature suddenly dropped a lot. He took a step back and shouted from a distance, “Sun Shushu.”

Sun Siqing was still sitting on the ground with his head tilted, motionless and not giving any response.

Huang Dan lowered his voice, “Xiaojie has opened the door for you.”

Sun Siqing still didn’t respond.

Huang Dan frowned, and then said, “Sun Shushu, if you don’t go in, Xiaojie will be angry.”

Sun Siqing still had no reaction.

Huang Dan’s test had no effect. He was a little disappointed and could only make the next move. Without any delay, he bent down and reached out to touch Sun Siqing’s pocket.

At this moment, Sun Siqing suddenly opened his eyes.

Huang Dan met the middle-aged man’s eyes, his hand was still in the pocket of his pants, and he had already touched the key that was warmed by body temperature.

For a brief moment or two, Huang Dan thought a lot, but he did nothing.

Sun Siqing closed his eyes again.

Cold sweat broke out on Huang Dan’s forehead. He took out the key from the middle-aged man’s pocket, opened the door and helped him into the house.

Huang Dan cannot sit back and wait for death, and must take the initiative. He had been thinking for the past two days, for the murderer, the person he beat to death actually came back to life, suddenly became friendly with the neighbors, and even talked and laughed with him. It was strange and not right either.

Intuition tells Huang Dan that in order to avoid complications, the murderer will definitely attack him again soon, and he must find clues before then.

The door closed behind him, a heavy sound broke the silence, and Huang Dan’s thoughts returned to reality at that moment.

On each floor, the apartments in the middle are smaller, while the apartments on both sides are the same.

Although the layout of Sun Siqing’s house is the same as that of the original owner’s grandmother, it gives people a very different feeling. Whether it is the decoration style, the overall color tone, or the furniture, they are all covered with clear fashion elements, and there is still a bit of a wealthy taste.

Huang Dan put Sun Siqing on the leopard-print leather sofa. A crystal-framed wedding photo hung on the wall behind. In the photo, the man was wearing a white suit and the woman was wearing a white dress that wrapped her chest. They looked sideways at each other, tips of their noses touching, they were very young and very in love.

That kind of beauty can only be fixed in photos, and when thrown into reality, it has been chewed up and riddled with holes.

Huang Dan wiped the sweat from his eyes and his eyes kept moving.

There was a tea set on the coffee table, which cost about a thousand dollars. Beer bottles and dirty clothes were scattered on the floor. In addition to wedding photos, there were some modern oil paintings on the wall, which were full of dust. The fortune bamboo in the corner was rotten and hanging down sparsely. The same was true for other plants. None of them were alive and exuded a rotten smell.

The kitchen was in a mess, with yellow and black oil stains on the tiles, unwashed dishes and chopsticks piled up in the sink, with small black insects flying on them. The garbage basket was full and the garbage fell to the ground……

What appeared in Huang Dan’s field of vision was the living conditions of an old drunkard. Business fails, marriage fails, life fails, it is understandable and normal to live like this.

Sun Siqing murmured a name, “Huihui.”

Huang Dan knew that it was the name of Sun Siqing’s wife. His arm was grabbed, and the wet, greasy and rough touch made him feel sick, and he immediately broke away.

He had long discovered that he only liked the touch of that person’s rough palm, and if it were anyone else, he wouldn’t like it very much.

Sun Siqing closed his eyes, waved his arms randomly, and shouted drunkenly, “Fuck, you are the most heartless, bitch, you must die! Huihui, please give me back the money. With money, I can make a comeback……”

Huang Dan said, “Sun Shushu, I am Ji Shiyu.”

Sun Siqing, who was sitting on the sofa, opened his eyes and looked at the ceiling blankly for a while before focusing, “It’s you, why are you in my house?”

Huang Dan said, “You drank too much, I sent you back.”

Sun Siqing sat up on the sofa and wiped his face heavily, “Good boy, wait for Shushu to get the money, and he’ll treat you to KFC.”

Huang Dan remembered that this was the second time tonight that Sun Siqing mentioned money to him. It was probably because he had taken on some job or wanted to pay back someone’s debt. “I still like crayfish.”

Sun Siqing’s face turned red from the alcohol, “Then crayfish, crayfish is good……”

He didn’t finish speaking, and there was no sound already.

Huang Dan rolled his eyes and said, “Sun Shushu, it is not comfortable on the sofa. Let me help you go to the room to rest, ok.”

The middle-aged man didn’t respond.

Huang Dan put an arm of the middle-aged man on his shoulder. He pulled the man up and slowly walked toward the room with his support.

There are also wedding photos hanging in the room, both at the head and foot of the bed.

After the divorce, his wife misappropriated his last money and ran away secretly with someone else. Sun Siqing didn’t take down the photos or find a corner to pile them up or throw them away. He may still have feelings for his wife.

Huang Dan quickly walked around the room, looking for useful clues, such as the unknown relationship between Sun Siqing and Old Zhang. If the two had a feud, he could follow the vine down.

Unfortunately not.

A voice came from behind Huang Dan, “Stop!”

He swallowed, slowly turned his head, and realized that Sun Siqing was not looking at where he was standing, and subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.

But as soon as he relaxed, his heart rose to his throat.

Huang Dan stood there, rationally telling him to leave as soon as possible, but his body could not move, as if roots grew on the soles of his feet. He knew that this was an instinctive reaction when the unknown things appeared.

Sun Siqing picked up the teacup on the bedside table and smashed it out, facing the corner where his eyes were looking. His face was ferocious and his chest was rising and falling greatly, “Get the hell out of here, I don’t need your sympathy. Get out, get out of here ——”

The next second, Sun Siqing burst into tears right away, completely lacking image.

Huang Dan was stunned for a moment.

He had never been in contact with a drunk person before, and didn’t know what would happen. He had only heard of them, all sorts of, and all are very terrible, such as hugging strangers and crying, acting out scenes of bitterness and hatred, and playing hooligans in public, singing loudly, or confessing their love to their crush, many patterns.

It’s a side that they don’t usually show, and they can do anything when they’re drunk.

Sun Siqing’s strange behavior can be regarded as one of the drunken conditions, right? Huang Dan pursed his lips, hoping that he was just overthinking.

The crying in the room continued for a while, then Sun Siqing fell asleep, snoring loudly.

Huang Dan breathed a sigh of relief. The moment he left the door of the room, he didn’t know what happened, and he went back the same way and opened the closet. There was nothing inside except clothes.

The nerves were too tense, overly suspicious.

Huang Dan closed the two doors of the closet and left without stopping. He opened the shoe cabinet next to the door and saw some slippers in it, new with different styles.

Sun Siqing found out that it was a size he could wear, so he really planned to keep it and wear it slowly.

After a pause, Huang Dan casually picked up a pair of slippers and took them away.

If Sun Siqing was the murderer, it would not be surprising that the murder weapon was not found in his home. After all, hiding it at home would be very unsafe.

Sun Siqing is not the murderer, so what’s the matter with his slippers? There was also a weird scene that night.

Huang Dan thought as he went upstairs that the police couldn’t find anything about Old Zhang’s death and couldn’t solve the case. It was normal for him to rely on his own efforts and have no clues.

But on second thought, this comfort is useless.

Because San Ge issued a notice not long ago, this task must be completed within a month.

Huang Dan suddenly stopped and looked back. The sound of footsteps came from downstairs, which became clearer and clearer. Wang Zhi’s face appeared in his sight.

Wang Zhi was in shock, “Damn it, Ji Shiyu, I was almost scared to death by you!”

Huang Dan hid the slippers behind his back, then took them out after thinking about it. It was obvious that he deliberately exposed them, “Why?”

Wang Zhi climbed up with a few strides, “The sensor lights in the corridor are not good. They are flashing. You are standing upstairs in the dark completely. Can it not be scary?”

Huang Dan looked at the bag on his back, “Didn’t you say that there was a lot of business at night and you wouldn’t go out?”

Wang Zhi waved his hand, “Don’t talk, it’s hard to explain in a few words.”

Huang Dan walked slowly on purpose. He fell behind Wang Zhi and saw that his backpack was quite heavy. Don’t know what was in it. He said, “Why are you still carrying a bag when you go out?”

Wang Zhi said he went to the supermarket to buy things, “A small bag costs 2 mao a piece, a larger one costs 5 mao, and a larger one just costs 1 yuan. Damn it, why don’t just rob, Ah!” (1 Yuan/RMB/Kuai= 10 Jiao/Mao)

He rolled his eyes, “One of my bro’s ex-girlfriend is just like you. She just graduated and will come here to find a job in the near future. The specific date is uncertain. It may be tomorrow or next week. I’m not sure. I was asked to take her in for a few days. It’s inconvenient for her to be alone. People don’t care, and say it’s okay and tell me not to be nervous. What can I do? I had no choice but to go to the supermarket. I don’t know how much business I lost.”

Huang Dan didn’t understand, “Taking care of an ex-girlfriend’s business as well?”

Wang Zhi clicked his tongue, “You don’t know, every time my bro breaks up with someone, they remain good friends. They help each other with anything. Even when they feel lonely and have no one to accompany them, they can still rent a room. That’s a very great skill.”

Huang Dan still didn’t understand, “Then why did you agree?”

Wang Zhi sighed, “I owe my bro a favor. No, it’s not okay. I plan to break up with him as soon as this matter is over. Return bridges to bridges, return road to road, so lovely.”

The second half is obviously a joke.

Huang Dan asked strangely, “Don’t you sell all daily necessities?”

Wang Zhi said that his bro had specially told him that girls should use good things and eat good food, and he would pay for it, so don’t be stingy, face is important.

“You’re still talking about me, where did those slippers in your hand come from? They’re so old-fashioned!”

He exclaimed, “Wasn’t this the best-selling item in my store last year?”

Huang Dan’s brows moved, “From your store?”

Wang Zhi took it in his hand and looked at it, “Right, the purchase price was three yuan and the sale price was nine yuan. I participated in that daily special sale event and I sold nearly two thousand pairs. The version was revised this year, and the purchasing price went up. I had to adjust accordingly. If I couldn’t sell it, I wouldn’t buy it anymore.”

Huang Dan said, “I picked it up on the grass.”

Things are easy to fall when drying on the balcony, not only in strong winds but also if they are not placed properly.

“Why are you picking up other people’s slippers? Are you going to wear them yourself? They are so dirty. Come to me tomorrow and I will give you two pairs of good quality to wear interchangeably.”

Wang Zhi waved his hand, “Bye.”

Huang Dan stopped the person, “Wang Zhi, what do you think these slippers are, men’s or women’s?”

Wang Zhi said, “The size 41 can be worn by both men and women. Zhao Xiao wears that size. I’ve got to go up, ah! I’m covered in the stench of sweat, so uncomfortable, fucking feeling vexed.”

Huang Dan raised his head. From behind, Wang Zhi seemed shorter and thinner. The bag was so big and the T-shirt with the straps tightly pinching his shoulders almost crushing him down.

Wang Zhi and Zhao Xiao standing together will give a hint of a somewhat cute and helpless look.

Huang Dan didn’t sleep all night. At dawn, he took the slippers downstairs to find Liu DaYe and said that the slippers were found on the grass. This was a good excuse.

“DaYe, did these slippers come from your family?”

Liu DaYe went to find reading glasses and put them on. He took the slippers in his hand and looked at them. “No.”

Huang Dan asked, “Then do you know which family lost this?”

Liu DaYe didn’t seem to be happy to talk about the slippers, “How do I know this? How about you go to another house and ask. If you don’t have time, just put them back in the original place. Whoever dropped them will look for them there.”

Liu DaNiang’s shout came from the kitchen, asking her husband to come over and get a bowl of porridge.

Liu DaYe asked politely, “Xiao Ji, have you had breakfast? Come in and have a bowl of porridge?”

Liu DaNiang put the side dishes on the table and wiped her hands on her apron, “Yes, Xiao Ji, the cooked millet porridge is good for the stomach.”

Huang Dan said, “I’ve already eaten.”

After coming out of Liu DaYe’s house, Huang Dan put the slippers on the grass, and sat on a bench not far away for observation.

What Liu DaYe said was right, the slippers belong to whoever picks them up.

Not long after, several children went to play on the grass. One of them saw the slippers. He ran over and picked them up. He threw them forward naughtily, picked them up and threw them out, repeating the process.

Huang Dan walked over and said, “Tell Gege, why are you doing this?”

The kid said, “That’s fun.”

Huang Dan couldn’t understand, “Where is the fun in this?”

The child threw up the slippers and grinned, even though his front teeth were gone, “It’s just fun, don’t you think, Gege?”

Huang Dan said, “I don’t think so.”

The child was old-fashioned and said, “Gege, you are so boring.”

Huang Dan, “……”

He grabbed the child who was about to run and said, “Tell Gege, did you learn this from someone?”

The child blinked, “No.”

Huang Dan wanted to ask something else but the little guy had already caught up with his friends. He looked cheerful and carefree. His childhood was far from over.

The morning passed and the slippers were still there.

Huang Dan’s mouth was chapped from the sun. He was a little dizzy. He took the slippers back to the house and decided to cook first and find a time later to knock on Zhao Xiao’s door next door.

On the weekend, Zhao Xiao didn’t go to work. Huang Dan knocked on the door but there was no response. No one was there.

On the other hand, door 403 opposite opened, and Li Shun and Zhou Chunlian came out together. They were in a hurry, one was getting the keys, the other was putting on shoes, and they were rushing to go somewhere.

Huang Dan asked casually, “What’s wrong?”

Li Shun put on his shoes, frowned and said, “The child has caught a cold and has diarrhea.We are taking him to the hospital for a checkup.”

Huang Dan saw Zhou Chunlian go back to the room and take out the baby. His chubby little body was wrapped in a thin sky-blue quilt. He didn’t cry. His eyelashes were long and eyes were dark and big. He was very beautiful.

Zhou Chunlian urged her husband, “Hurry up.”

Li Shun said while taking the bag, “Chunlian, the hospital has just started work in the afternoon, so there will not be many appointments. Let’s slow down and don’t forget to take whatever is needed.”

Zhou Chunlian’s expression turned bad, “Children’s hospitals are different. Some departments don’t even have appointment slots in the morning.”

Li Shun closed the door, “Okay, everything you said is right.”

Zhou Chunlian suddenly looked at Huang Dan, “Xiao Ji, can you drive?”

Huang Shan was stunned, “Yes.”

Zhou Chunlian said to Li Shun, “Give car keys to Xiao Ji.”

“Chunlian, you……”

Li Shun sighed, took out the car keys, smiled at the young man, “Xiao Ji, I’m sorry to trouble you.”

Huang Dan said it was okay, and he followed Li Shun to the garage to pick up the car. When he drove the car out, Zhou Chunlian was waiting on the side of the road with worry on her face.

Along the way, the atmosphere in the car was quite stuffy. The baby didn’t cry at all. His little head was pressed against the mother’s heart. He felt safe and slept peacefully.

Zhou Chunlian fiddled with the quilt from time to time, fearing that the child would be uncomfortable, and she never changed her sitting position. She was almost forty and was an advanced maternal age, so pregnancy would not be easy. Now that she has her own child, it is understandable that she would be too nervous.

Arriving at the children’s hospital, Huang Dan went into the lobby to get some air from the air conditioner.

Li Shun paid and registered, but Zhou Chunlian didn’t let him accompany her and took the elevator up alone.

Huang Dan closed all the web pages searching for postpartum depression on his mobile phone, and casually clicked on a mobile game for show.

Li Shun sat down next to him and patted the young man on the shoulder, “Xiao Ji, If it weren’t for you this time, Chunlian must have been anxious with me. I’ll have to trouble you to send us back later.”

Huang Dan doesn’t play games, so he follows the memory of the original owner and then tapped, “Why doesn’t Zhou Jiejie let you drive?”

Li Shun smiled bitterly, “I took a few sips of wine at noon, but she just minds so much.”

Huang Dan looked hesitant, “Li DaGe, is Zhou Jiejie a little depressed?”

Li Shun’s brows were filled with fatigue and remorse, “It’s my fault. During her pregnancy, it happened to be the busiest time of the company. I didn’t have time to take care of her. She did everything by herself. I didn’t even go to the hospital for a prenatal check-up.”

Huang Dan said, “That’s before delivery, what about after delivery?”

Li Shun sighed, “She was originally in normal labor, but couldn’t normally deliver the baby, so had a cesarean and had to suffer either way. After giving birth, her heart was all about the child and she didn’t care about her own body. I tried to divert her attention, but it didn’t work.”

Huang Dan said, “Why don’t you ask the elderly to come over and help in looking after for a while?”

Li Shun said it is out of question, “She likes to read books and browse some forums online. She makes herself nervous and won’t let anyone touch the child, even me sometimes.”

Huang Dan said, “The child always cries at night, so Zhou Jiejie will be unable to bear it.”

Li Shun rested his elbows on his knees and supported his forehead with his hands. “The child is still young. She has to breastfeed several times at night. She is so nervous anyway, and her emotions are transmitted to the child.”

He sighed, “The little one cried, and so did the big one. I haven’t slept well for a long time.”

Huang Dan found that Li Shun had no hair in several places on his head, which were about the size of a coin and it’s quite obvious. It was not clear whether it was due to work pressure, lack of sleep, or depression.

Compared with Zhou Chunlian, Li Shun’s tendency towards depression seems to be more serious.

Li Shun’s voice was hoarse, “Although everyone didn’t say anything during this period, they must have been affected at night. We are all very sorry.”

Huang Dan said it was nothing, “Zhou Jiejie is a mother for the first time, right? When facing a child, she will inevitably be anxious, but she will get better gradually.”

Li Shun rubbed his eyes. The blue color under his eyes was heavy. He was tired and haggard, “We will move after a while. It might be better to change places.”

Huang Dan’s eyes flashed. He heard Sun Siqing mention moving in his drinking conversation last night. Why did this couple want to move too?

“Have you found the house?”

Li Shun said not yet, “Two days ago, I listed the house with an agent, sell it to buy a new one.”

Huang Dan was thoughtful.

After seeing the doctor and prescribing medicine, Zhou Chunlian relaxed and patted her child gently when she saw that he was not sleeping.

Huang Dan glanced at the rearview mirror. When Zhou Chunlian faced the child, she would emit a kind of light. Mother’s love is great, he thought.

Not long after returning, Li Shun knocked on Huang Dan’s door and brought him a roast duck.

“It’s slightly spicy and tastes good. Try it.”

Huang Dan knew what Li Shun meant by sending the roast duck. He took it and thanked him, “Is the baby sleeping? It must be uncomfortable to have diarrhea.”

Li Shun blurted out, “Isn’t it because she didn’t listen to the advice and had to get up in the middle of the night to lift the child’s blanket and touch this and that, which is why the child caught a cold.”

When he realized what he had said, he frowned, his face changed, and he turned around and went back.

The door opposite was closed, and Huang stood at the door holding the roast duck in one hand. He asked in his heart, “San Ge, can a woman’s temperament change after she gives birth to a child?”

System said, “I am San Ge, not San Jie.”

Huang Dan said, “So, you don’t understand either.”

System, “You can Baidu.”

(*Baidu is dominant search engine in China like google)

Huang Dan said, “Baidu it, but the content is quite complicated and I can’t grasp the key points.”

System said, “Xiao Di, the information shows that you are the top scorer in science, so you should have done a lot of test questions. How can you not catch the key points?”

A hero doesn’t mention his bravery in the past, Huang Dan said, “It happened many years ago.”

System said, “Why don’t you try praying?”

Huang Dan, “……”

He said seriously, “That’s a lie to children.”

System goes silent.

Huang Dan took out the roast duck and put it on the cutting board. He cut it into pieces with a kitchen knife and poured in the sauce. While the rice was cooked, he sat at the table and ate several pieces of roast duck.

“San Ge, this is the first time I have eaten duck meat in this world.”

System, “How pathetic.”

Huang Dan nodded, “Mmm.”

System went silent again.

Huang Dan was wrong. It’s not the first time he had eaten duck meat, but the first time he had eaten meat. Since coming here, he suffered from a lot of nausea due to head injuries. He was very casual about his diet and ate whatever was in the refrigerator and bought it after finishing it.

After all, Huang Dan doesn’t know how to cook meat dishes, and buying ready-made dishes is expensive, and he wants to save money.

For several days, Huang Dan couldn’t catch the sight of Zhao Xiao, nor could he see Lu Fei upstairs. The two of them seemed to be avoiding him.

But this is impossible.

Huang Dan had never crossed paths with Zhao Xiao, and he had no grudges with Lu Fei. It was probably just a coincidence that they didn’t appear in front of him.

The pair of blue slippers were scrubbed by Huang Dan and worn on his feet every day. When someone came over, he would deliberately drag his feet when walking, in order to attract other people’s attention to the slippers and try to detect any clues.

The strange thing is that no one in the neighborhood saw the slippers on Huang Dan’s foot, and revealed a familiar or unnatural look.

Including Sun Siqing.

The other party didn’t notice that there was one missing pair of slippers in the shoe cabinet, and also didn’t notice that Huang Dan was wearing them. They might not be his, so he didn’t worry about them.

Huang Dan still insisted on wearing the slippers, which were of the right size and he could walk without difficulty.

After that drinking episode, Sun Siqing had more contact with Huang Dan. He said that he was grateful to him for helping him get back home that night, but he didn’t treat him to crayfish, and neither did KFC, probably because he hadn’t received the money yet.

Huang Dan mentioned Old Zhang’s son Xiaojie to Sun Siqing.

Sun Siqing showed a disliked attitude, saying that the boy had eyes on the top of his head and nostrils pointing upward, self-righteous and hateful to look at. Sooner or later he would suffer.

Huang Dan spoke about Xiaojie with Sun Siqing, but talked a little too much, so the other person got angry.

To avoid conflict with Sun Siqing, Huang Dan did not mention it again.

Huang Dan’s head is still bandaged, but the injury on his leg is almost healed. He is in contact with the neighbors every day, smiling as much as possible to make those people relax their guard.

Everyone lives a very realistic life, not meddling with other’s business for fear of getting into trouble.

That night, Lu Fei kicked the door and made such a big noise, but there was no follow-up.

Just as Liu DaYe and the others expected, Old Zhang’s case would be like a piece of furniture or a rag, it would be slowly covered in dust and no one would care about it.

His son never showed up.

Huang Dan was leaning on the railing of the balcony drinking soda. The original owner was an orphan. Savings in the card were earned through work-study, and his grandmother only left a house.

After all, it is the only thing the old lady left to her grandson, so it cannot be sold for cash.

Huang Dan has just checked the money, and there is still 956. There is no need to pay rent, but water and electricity bills, plus living expenses and daily expenses……

He took a sip of soda and thought, starting from tomorrow, he can only drink boiled water.

The most troublesome thing is that the task has a time limit.

Huang Dan saves half of the soda to drink at night to feel better.

Because the temperature here is extremely high, even at night, the mat is sticky even when turned over, making it impossible to sleep.

Huang Dan strolled downstairs and greeted everyone he saw. The way he behaved now was something he could never have imagined in the past.

“Xiao Ji, come out again.”

“Um.”

“Is the injury on your head better? Just lie down if you feel dizzy. Never take it casually, otherwise it will be too late to regret it!”

“I know.”

“Hey Xiao Ji, help me look after my grandson. I’ll go up and get the water cup.”

“Okay.”

Huang Dan learns to understand what it means to be happy to help others, and there is some truth in this saying.

The old man brought the water cup over, and Huang Dan completed the task of taking care of his grandson, receiving a kind and grateful smile from the other party.

Huang Dan turned his head and caught Zhao Xiao on the path to the left. He walked closer and saw apples scattered on the ground.

Zhao Xiao was carrying a lot of things in her hands, as if she was coming back from a long trip. One of the red plastic bags had a big hole in it, and there were two apples inside.

Huang Dan picked up the apple that rolled to his feet, then picked up a few others around him, and handed them all over, “Here you go.”

Zhao Xiao said thank you very stiffly.

She didn’t smile, her eyes were cold, her cheekbones were prominent, and she was so tall that she looked fierce.

Huang Dan twitched his mouth when he noticed that Zhao Xiao was wearing leather shoes with heels. She was already over 1.7 meters tall, but with another two or three centimeters, she was a little taller than him.

Zhao Xiao walked forward carrying large and small bags. She had a cold face and ignored anyone who passed by.

Huang Dan walked behind, and when he saw the young woman turning her head warily, he smiled and said, “I’m going home too.”

The emotion in Zhao Xiao’s eyes changed. She turned her head forward and continued walking.

Huang Dan had taken a serious look in the mirror. This body has a harmless face, with small dimples when smiling, and is not aggressive.

Today is a good day.

Lu Fei and Zhao Xiao either don’t show up, or they both show up.

Huang Dan saw Lu Fei at a glimpse. He was sitting on a bench under the tree. His suit jacket and briefcase were thrown aside. The hem of the white shirt he was wearing was tucked into his trousers, two buttons were unbuttoned casually, and the cuffs were rolled up, revealing his watch and slim forearms. The whole person looked lazy and handsome.

When a man wears white, he will look younger, appear clean and bright, and the coercion and fierceness on his body will be weakened, making him more friendly.

It is equally effective when used on Lu Fei.

The setting sun filled his face with golden rays, making him look like a college student in his early twenties, who has not been deeply involved in the world

Huang Dan knew that the man was in pain for some reason and was waiting for the pain to subside.

He knew that feeling.

Only he who has experienced it personally can feel it.

Regardless of whether it’s just a small bump like an elbow being hit by a table corner or a broken knee, the moment it happens, it will be so painful that the body will be unable to move.

Zhao Xiao said hello, her tone neither high nor low, “Mr. Lu.”

Huang Dan was surprised. He didn’t expect Zhao Xiao to know Lu Fei. He looked back and forth calmly.

Lu Fei had his eyes closed and said nothing.

His attitude gives people a feeling of superiority that is far away from others.

A warm face against a cold butt depends on the person and the occasion.

Zhao Xiao said nothing, walked up the stairs, and quickly disappeared into the corridor.

Huang Dan walked around the grass and saw the man’s thin lips pursed, with a trace of blood on them. His eyebrows suddenly knitted together tightened.

“Who bit it?”

Huang Dan’s voice was cold and filled with anger.

Lu Fei raised his eyelids and frowned in disgust, “Why is it you again?”

Huang Dan stared at the wound on the man’s lower lip, inside, as if he had bitten it himself. Gluttonous?

“You cried.”

Lu Fei closed his eyes and said coldly, “Not only are you ugly and your brain is broken, but you are also blind.”

“……”

Huang Dan touched his face, what’s so ugly about it? He sighed softly, “Your mouth is broken, it hurts, right?”

Lu Fei didn’t open his eyes. He turned a deaf ear and had no expression on his face.

If looked carefully, Lu Fei’s facial lines are tight. He is really in pain, it hurts like hell, damn it.

Huang Dan said, “Cry if it hurts, don’t hold it in.”

Lu Fei swore, “Fucking shut up.”

Huang Dan imparts his experience, “It’s better to cry out than to endure it.”

Lu Fei was extremely impatient and felt that the sound in his ears was more annoying than mosquitoes, “Shut up!”

Huang Dan knelt down in front of the man, “Squeamish.”

Hearing this, Lu Fei’s eyelids suddenly lifted, and a cold light flashed across his red eyes. His facial expression also became terrifying and abnormal at this moment, and his emotions had reached the edge of rage.

Huang Dan raised his face, curled the corners of his mouth towards the man, and smiled softly.
