Yama Reborn-Chapter 395 - 392: [Showdown]

Chapter 392 [Showdown]

Chen Nuo looked at his phone for a moment, silently put it down, but his face took on a strange expression.

Uh...

Old Jiang actually got back first and even encountered Keke?

However... Old Jiang wasn’t the type to be gossipy, nor would he be the first to say anything.

In fact, on the way back to the country, Old Jiang had laid his cards on the table with Chen Nuo.

Given Old Jiang’s character, Chen Nuo was his disciple and student. And Old Jiang had a very close family relationship with Old Sun.

Therefore, expecting a person as upright as Old Jiang to help Chen Nuo hide an affair outside and even the existence of a child was out of the question.

Don’t expect Old Jiang to help with the coverup and secrecy.

With Old Jiang’s temperament, Chen Nuo’s actions—being involved with Old Sun’s daughter while also having an "outside wife" and "child"—was both a betrayal of moral principles and a betrayal of his old friend and family.

As his disciple, he should clean house!

Uh... it was just a pity that he couldn’t beat this nominal, false disciple.

But Old Jiang also made it clear that he would never help conceal such matters or be an accomplice to wrongdoing.

So, he seriously demanded Chen Nuo handle it properly. The only concession Old Jiang could make was that he could refrain from speaking first and let Chen Nuo deal with it on his own first.

If Chen Nuo dared to be sneaky and play both sides, Old Jiang would absolutely not agree to it.

Although he knew Old Jiang had agreed with him not to disclose it first, when Chen Nuo received the message from Sun Keke, he still felt slightly uncertain in his heart.

After thinking for a moment, he put away his phone.

At the moment, Chen Nuo was in front of the Chen Family’s old house....

Yes, it was Chen Nuo’s residence, the house across the street that had been bought by Lu Xixi.

The house had already been cleaned thoroughly.

Without asking, from seeing the spotlessly clean house and the two sets of freshly changed bedding after coming back and entering the door, one would know that this reliable work was without a doubt Brother Lei’s doing.

Deciding to arrange for Lu Xixi to stay here was a decision Chen Nuo made after much deliberation.

He had thought about setting her up in a more remote and secretive place.

But considering Lu Xixi’s strange condition, where she was unconscious all day but would wake up once, Chen Nuo definitely couldn’t be at ease having Lu Xixi too far away from him.

Moreover, Lu Xixi’s way of "feeding" every time she woke up was also a bit frightening.

If there was no other blood food, in a state of unconsciousness, the woman would probably resort to eating humans.

How could Chen Nuo dare let her stay too far away from himself?

Lu Xixi’s "feeding" tonight was a hen that Chen Nuo picked out from several he bought from the market.

These hens were temporarily raised in two large cardboard boxes on the balcony.

Anyway... it was enough to last for three to five days.

It was the year 2002, when live chickens could still be bought in the market.

More than ten years later, due to several widespread outbreaks of avian flu, the city’s markets were no longer allowed to sell and slaughter live poultry.

To buy a live chicken, one would have to go to the surrounding countryside which was quite far away.

Yu Naitang strolled around the house, her gaze rather critical. "Chen Nuo, are you that poor?"

"..." Chen Nuo sighed.

Alright, having spent a bit more time with this Little Candy, many of the memories from his past life had been stirred up.

This girl, although very clever, had...

a pretty mean mouth.

"And your taste in aesthetics is lacking too. Look at the decor of this house, the furniture, the arrangements..." Yu Naitang waved her hand. "If you’re short on cash, I can lend you some, you know. I manage all of Teacher’s finances."

Chen Nuo rolled his eyes. "This house was bought by your teacher, not me."

Yu Naitang paused for a moment, then looked around the admittedly "run-down" dwelling with wide eyes, and furrowed her brow.

Well, then.

The little girl sighed.

Being with this scumbag for so long, even a teacher’s aesthetic standards have dropped.

"I live next door, with my mother and my sister. Usually though, the two of them, one works and the other goes to school, so they’re mostly not at home during the daytime."

"Even if you’re poor, your mother shouldn’t have to work to make money, should she?" Yu Naitang’s eyes widened, showing she couldn’t understand.

"You wouldn’t understand. You’re just a kid, so don’t spout nonsense about things you don’t get." Chen Nuo gave Yu Naitang a knock on the head, his movement smooth and practiced to perfection, a habit formed through the many years he had spent with the little girl in his past life.

Yu Naitang held her head and pouted at Chen Nuo, her heart feeling strangely odd.

In fact, counting it all up, her Chen Nuo, from the time they met until now, had only had about two or three encounters.

But for some reason, Yu Naitang always felt that when Chen Nuo was around her, his words and actions, his conduct, gave her an inexplicably familiar feeling.

It was like he really didn’t treat her as an outsider, as if he had a very close and intimate relationship with her.

However, by rights, he was the teacher’s man, and he had a child with the teacher, so naturally, they were very close.

But... we’re not familiar with each other at all!!

"Stay here for now; I’ll think of a way to cure Lu Xixi’s illness." Chen Nuo thought carefully. "I can’t find anything wrong with your teacher, her Consciousness Space is intact, unharmed. The energy flow of her spiritual consciousness, however, is very slow and much weaker than it should be."

"For now, I can’t figure out the problem, so we’ll just settle down here while I think of other methods, and maybe I’ll need to seek some help."

Yu Naitang had no objections to this arrangement, but she was a bit worried. "But, will our enemies track us down here?"

Chen Nuo pondered and then shook his head. "The Electric General actually recognizes me, and he knows about my relationship with Lu Xixi. He’s seen me before in Jinling."

"If he wanted to find us, he could."

"But, I thought about it, and in Europe, we stayed for a few days, and they didn’t find us..."

Afterwards, I think it’s not that they couldn’t find us.

But that they stopped looking all together.

I guess the Electric General might have surmised that it was me who came to Europe.

This guy, he probably wouldn’t dare to come knocking rashly.

This was the conclusion Chen Nuo had reached after some consideration over the past few days.

The Electric General probably wouldn’t be willing to precipitate a confrontation between Controller Level big shots.

So, he likely chose to back off.

In the battle in Jinling, the Electric General probably considered Chen Nuo an equal-level Controller to Lu Xixi and the Son of the Sun.

The power Chen Nuo displayed back then was indeed significant.

In this case, the Electric General could have been intimidated by him.

Although, Chen Nuo guessed, on the Electric General’s side, there might be another spiritual power Controller.

But, on his side, not only had he shown significant power last time, he also had the support of the Son of the Sun.

Therefore, to the Electric General, there might seem to be two Controller level big shots here as well.

Blindly coming over to continue causing trouble, would no longer be taking advantage when Lu Xixi was vulnerable, but rather, it would evolve into a direct confrontation between two pairs of Controllers.

Chen Nuo could understand all of that to some extent.

The only thing he couldn’t figure out was, during the last encounter in Jinling, the Electric General should have been on good terms with him.

Why he suddenly harmed Lu Xixi was a mystery.

Unless...

Chen Nuo felt his heart skip a beat!

In fact, he had some vague guesses these past few days, but... even if that guess was true, there was no way to verify why the other party targeted Lu Xixi.

"You just stay here for now, take good care of your teacher and the child." Chen Nuo sighed. "I will come by every day, but unless necessary, you better not go out recklessly."

"Aren’t you planning to tell your mother and sister about your teacher... and about your daughter?" Yu Naitang frowned.

Chen Nuo shook his head. "It’s definitely something I have to mention; I don’t want to hide it. But I need to find the right way and the right time to do it."

"Moreover, I’ll tell you, my mother and sister are ordinary people, and I don’t want to drag them into our bizarre world. It’s best to let them live peacefully in the ordinary world."

Chen Nuo glanced at the time, figured it was about time to feed the baby, and went to the kitchen. After preparing the formula, he took the bottle and came out.

Over the last few days, he had learned how to take care of a child. Holding the bottle, he checked the temperature before picking up the child to begin feeding.

Holding Chen Yi, he fed her from the bottle and then gently scratched the child’s cheek.

"Stewed Pork, you better watch out, your dad here is not a good man," Yu Naitang said with a sarcastic tone. "This scumbag is probably plotting to secretly hide the three of us, teacher and students, here."

"What do you call this? This is hiding a mistress in a golden house, get it?"

"If you’re uneducated, don’t misuse idioms, you’re babbling, kid!" Chen Nuo turned his head and glared at Yu Naitang. "You’re of the same generation as my daughter, my junior. Hiding a mistress in a golden house my ass!"

But the daughter in his arms widened her eyes, sucking on the nipple of her bottle while staring at Chen Nuo with those shiny black eyes.

For some reason, Chen Nuo always felt that this little one’s gaze, fixated on him, carried a sense of curiosity and strangeness.

"You haven’t told your family... but what about Sun Keke?" Yu Naitang suddenly threw a bombshell.

Chen Nuo: "..."

"I know everything, you have a girlfriend named Sun Keke. You also know a girl from South Korea, named Li Yingwan. Humph!"

"Yes, I even kidnapped Li Yingwan once, I haven’t forgotten that." Chen Nuo sighed and shook his head. "But I can tell you, Li Yingwan really has nothing of that nature with me."

Well, indeed not. I’ve already sworn brotherhood with Li Yingwan.

"Even if it’s not Li Yingwan, Sun Keke can’t be fake, right? Are you planning to keep it a secret?"

"What do you call this, if not hiding a mistress in a golden house?"

Chen Nuo fell silent for a moment, then raised his head and looked at Yu Naitang seriously. "I...haven’t planned to hide it."

"When do you plan to tell?"

"...Tomorrow," Chen Nuo shook his head. "Such things have to be faced, I don’t want to drag it out."

Yu Naitang’s eyes suddenly lit up!

"Ah! You’re going to confront it tomorrow? Really?"

"Really... Why are you so excited?"

"That scene must be so good to watch! You’re definitely going to get beat up!"

"Can I... watch from the sidelines?"

Chen Nuo rolled his eyes.

"Even if I secretly watch without letting anyone know, is that not okay?"

Alright, this girl really does have a bit of a wicked mouth.

At that moment, Chen Nuo’s expression suddenly changed!

Sun Keke... was here!

When Sun Keke entered the residential complex and just arrived downstairs at Chen Nuo’s building, he had already sensed her presence.

He knew that at this moment, Sun Keke’s spiritual power was quite remarkable, so he did not dare to release his abilities to spy on her; instead, he carefully converged his own spiritual power.

Sun Keke went upstairs, and when she reached the fifth floor, she immediately knocked on the door of Chen Nuo’s apartment.

After knocking for a while, no one answered from inside.

Tonight, Xiao Yezi and Ou Xiuhua were not at home.

Ou Xiuhua had gone to pick up Xiao Yezi from school in the afternoon because Chen Nuo had gone abroad. Then she took the child to her workplace. Xiao Yezi did homework there while waiting for Ou Xiuhua to get off work before returning home together. This was a very common phenomenon in this era; the lives of many ordinary families were like this.

Sun Keke knocked a few times on the door. When no one responded, she took out her phone to check—Chen Nuo had not replied to her messages.

Sun Keke frowned, leaned against the door to listen for a while, and confirmed there was no movement inside.

Just as she was about to turn and leave, she suddenly glanced at the opposite door, and a flicker passed through Sun Keke’s eyes.

This house... was the one Lu Xixi had bought, and Sun Keke knew about this!

Sun Keke took a deep breath, walked over, and stretched out her hand.

KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK.

Chen Nuo stood in the living room with a strange expression, listening to the door knock.

He didn’t plan to hide it from Sun Keke.

But tonight wasn’t the time for confrontation. Whether it was preparing what to say or handling his emotions, he wasn’t ready, nor had he figured it out.

He indeed didn’t want to hide it, but psychologically, he always hoped to delay this moment for as long as possible... until the very last minute.

Actually, Chen Nuo’s plan was to see Sun Keke tomorrow.

Yu Naitang pursed her lips but finally understood that she shouldn’t mess things up. After thinking for a while, she turned her head away.

However, this gesture at least indicated that she wasn’t planning to make a sound.

KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK.

At this moment, the two were actually separated by only a door. Chen Nuo forcefully pursed his lips.

Suddenly, a resolute look flashed in his eyes. He let out a long breath and stepped toward the door.

Yu Naitang was taken aback!

She suddenly reached out and caught the corner of Chen Nuo’s clothes, lowering her voice and asking in a breathy whisper, "Didn’t you say we’d wait until tomorrow?"

Chen Nuo gave a bitter smile. "I was the one at fault towards her and Lu Xixi. Now that she’s standing outside the door, if I pretend to be dead at this time, it would be even more despicable."

"Since I have to speak up tomorrow anyway, why pretend not to be here now?"

Chen Nuo said this and shook his head. "Actually, I’ve already figured it out, but my heart didn’t want to face it."

While speaking, Chen Nuo slowly hugged the child in his arms a bit tighter, looking down at the curious eyes of the child still staring at him.

Chen Nuo frowned, turned around to hand the child to Yu Naitang, then went over, took a deep breath, and with one hand, grasped the doorknob, slowly twisting it open...

CLICK!

The door opened, and Sun Keke stood outside, looking into the dim living room without lights, where Chen Nuo stood inside.

Sun Keke quietly observed Chen Nuo, her eyes holding an indescribable something, her lips twitched and she said softly, "...You’re back."

"Yeah, I’m back."

"When did you come back?"

"I just arrived this afternoon, not long ago."

"Did you... find her?"

"I found her."

"Oh..."

The tone of both was quite somber, even carrying a slight flavor of avoidance.

Sun Keke’s gaze suddenly dimmed, a conflicted expression crossing her face, as if she wanted to ask but didn’t dare.

Chen Nuo felt a twinge of heartache.

Sun Keke pursed her lips. "You..."

"Let’s talk inside," Chen Nuo said with a bitter smile, then stepped aside.

Sun Keke walked in. "It’s dark already. Why didn’t you turn on the lights... hmm?"

Entering the living room, Sun Keke finally saw Yu Naitang standing inside.

Chen Nuo didn’t speak but first closed the door, then turned on the chandelier in the living room.

With a CLICK, the living room chandelier brightened, fully illuminating the room.

Sun Keke, somewhat puzzled, looked at Yu Naitang as the two girls, one big, one small, stared at each other.

"Yu Naitang... Lu Xixi’s disciple," Chen Nuo hesitated for a moment, but still introduced her.

Sun Keke’s face remained expressionless, looking at Yu Naitang, and responded softly with a hum.

But her gaze quickly fell upon the small infant Yu Naitang was holding, and Sun Keke suddenly froze.

Her complexion seemed to change in an instant, but quickly, she forced her gaze away, as if she was pretending to look elsewhere inadvertently.

Forcing out a bitter smile, Sun Keke asked quietly, "And her... did you bring her back?"

"..." Chen Nuo was silent for a few seconds before slowly nodding his head.

At that slight nod, Sun Keke’s face fell by another degree.

"You should see her first. She is in there," Chen Nuo walked over, gently took Sun Keke’s hand, but felt that her hand was ice cold. The soft palm, now, felt very stiff and was even trembling slightly.

"She... inside..." Sun Keke seemed like a wooden puppet, a bit at a loss. She was led by Chen Nuo toward the inner room’s door.

When Chen Nuo pushed the door open and turned on the light in the bedroom, Sun Keke saw a figure lying on the big bed inside, first taken aback.

The figure was turned away from the door, but from the silhouette, it was clear it was a woman.

"Is she asleep?"

"No... her situation is a bit special. You could understand it as, she has contracted a strange illness," Chen Nuo shook his head.

Sun Keke’s attention was drawn. Frowning as she walked over, she then saw Lu Xixi’s appearance clearly.

She recognized her at the first glance.

But something felt a bit off.

After looking more closely, Sun Keke suddenly realized and turned back, looking at Chen Nuo in surprise. "She... she seems to have gotten younger?"

"Yes, that’s right. But... she can’t wake up now."

Sun Keke was shaken. "Can’t wake up, what do you mean?"

"She has contracted a very strange illness, which resulted in her current state."

"Even you can’t solve her problem?"

"I can’t solve it for now, so I brought her back to take care of her."

"Mmm... Taking care, is, is, is the right thing to do." Sun Keke’s expression was strained. "She’s all alone, with only a little girl disciple around her? Then, then, in her current state, she... she needs someone to take care of her."

At this point, Sun Keke’s tone was almost tearful.

It was unclear what emotions were mixed within her, a mix of sourness, grievance, helplessness, and even a trace of relief?

Of course, it wasn’t relief that her rival had become this pitiable—Sun Keke wasn’t that malicious.

It was just that... all of a sudden, Sun Keke felt slightly better inside.

She even comforted herself with a thought tinged with relief:

Mmm... it’s just because she’s gotten this strange illness, he couldn’t leave her be, that’s why he brought her back.

That’s... right, isn’t it?

It wasn’t because Chen Nuo had ultimately chosen her.

Right?

Chen Nuo saw the wistful, pleading look in Sun Keke’s eyes and felt a pang in his heart. He clenched his teeth and pulled Sun Keke to sit on the chair beside the bed.

"Here’s what happened..."

Chen Nuo briefly recounted his trip to Britain to find Lu Xixi: discovering she had encountered enemies at her door, fled into hiding, and his own subsequent quest to finally find her. He gave a general, simple explanation.

He also explained the peculiar condition Lu Xixi was now in.

The more Sun Keke listened, the more settled her heart became.

Yes, he just brought her back because he saw her in trouble and couldn’t leave her be...

That’s right, that’s right... right?

But in the end, Chen Nuo still shattered that sliver of fantasy in Sun Keke’s heart.

"The little girl you saw outside, she’s Lu Xixi’s disciple and has been living with her."

"Mmm..."

"I brought her back with us too."

"Mmm, that’s, that’s also right, such a young girl, she always, always needs someone to take care of her," Sun Keke said softly.

"Keke." Chen Nuo sighed, slowly sat down in front of Sun Keke, and looked into her eyes. "Also, her disciple, whom you just met... you must have seen, she was holding a little baby."

"Yeah, I saw it. She is also a disciple of Lu Xixi?"

"Or...a child she adopted?"

When Sun Keke said this, her tone and gaze had already turned pitiful. As she looked at Chen Nuo full of expectation, she even bit her lip saying implausibly, "It can’t be that in these few days you were away, you suddenly had a child with Lu Xixi, right?"

"Why... why are you looking at me like that?"

"You just love to deceive me!"

"Last time when you brought Xiao Yezi home, you scared me, tricked me, and even made Xiao Yezi call you ’Dad’ in front of me..."

Despite saying this, panic increasingly filled Sun Keke’s eyes.

Chen Nuo remained silent.

Yu Naitang stood at the door, holding the child, looking at Sun Keke inside the room.

Suddenly, Little Candy spoke up.

Yu Naitang, seemingly soft-hearted, stared at Sun Keke’s sad and panicky eyes, sighed lightly, then deliberately raised her voice and loudly said,

"What are you talking about, has Chen Nuo always liked to play pranks like this?"

"Hey, I adopted this child from the orphanage!"

Sun Keke was stunned, then suddenly turned her head, her eyes wide, staring at Yu Naitang with a look as though she had been spared from a great disaster.

Yu Naitang, however, glanced at Chen Nuo.

The look meant... you’ve won, I’m soft-hearted, I can’t stand to see this!

Chen Nuo also glanced at Yu Naitang.

Then, he slowly shook his head.

He gently pulled Sun Keke back, straightened her body, and began to speak in a low and serious tone.

"No, what she said isn’t true."

"She wanted to help me hide it from you, but I never intended to hide it from you."

"Along the way, I’ve thought it over and understood that if I continued to hide this from you, it would truly be malicious deception."

"Keke..."

"The child is..."

"I-I-I-I, I have something else, I must rush home, today..." Sun Keke suddenly stood up with reddened eyes, her expression one of panic, as if she were about to flee.

"Keke." Chen Nuo held onto Sun Keke’s hand, staring into her eyes, and slowly enunciated each word.

"The child, it’s a girl, still very young, just a few months old, not even half a year yet."

"She is my daughter."

"..."

After a silence that lasted a full ten seconds, Sun Keke slowly, very slowly, sat back down.

"It was last summer, I was with Lu Xixi... and then, this child was conceived."

"Later I returned from abroad, severely wounded, amnesiac, it was after the Body Seizing incident."

"Actually, by that time, Lu Xixi was already pregnant. She just didn’t say anything, no one did, not even to me."

"After I awoke that time, Lu Xixi left, so I always didn’t know she was actually pregnant..."

"This past year, while I was missing, Lu Xixi looked for me and didn’t find me. Then, she went abroad alone and gave birth to the child."

"After giving birth, she contracted the strange illness she has now."

"When I went to find her this time, I didn’t know beforehand that she had given birth to a child. It wasn’t until I found them that I knew."

"Then, I brought them both back with me."

"Well, that’s pretty much it."

Sun Keke’s fingers tightened and twisted together fiercely.

Then, she looked up and stared at Chen Nuo for a moment.

Suddenly, Sun Keke forcefully yanked her hand from Chen Nuo’s palm, bit her lip hard, and raised her hand!

SMACK!

A slap landed on Chen Nuo’s face.

Chen Nuo didn’t dodge. The slap hit his face, but his head didn’t even flinch. He simply looked at Sun Keke silently.

Sun Keke, with reddened eyes, hoarsely said when she spoke again, "I... I don’t know what to say. I’ve known about your relationship with Lu Xixi for a long time."

"You say you’ve only just found out about the child, so by that account, you didn’t intentionally hide it from me before..."

"But, Chen Nuo."

"I just feel like slapping you hard!"

"I know, but I just feel like I needed to slap you!"

Chen Nuo’s voice was very gentle as he said softly, "You’re right to slap me."

"No!!!! Wrong! All wrong!!"

"Everything is wrong!!!"

Sun Keke sprang up, staring intently at Chen Nuo and shouted, "Why did you have to tell me this?!"

"When you returned from abroad, I knew you went to find her!"

"You looking for her, I didn’t feel it was wrong... When you first went missing, she also frantically searched for you!"

"You had come back, you had to find her, to tell her you were safe, that you hadn’t died."

"Even, it was I who told you! I also thought you should check in with her!!"

"But why did you have to tell me that you had a child with her!"

"Tell me that you guys even have a child together!!"

Chen Nuo shook his head. "Such things, I couldn’t keep lying to you..."

"Why not lie!!!!" Sun Keke said angrily. "Chen Nuo! Aren’t you very good at lying to people?!"

"How long have you been lying to me?!"

"You’re so good at coaxing me, so good at deceiving me..."

"Just keep lying! Keep fooling me! It would have been fine if you’d just continued hiding it from me!!!"

"Why do you have to start being so honest now?! Why have you suddenly decided to be so honest with me?!!"

"Just keep lying to me!!!!"

At this point, the girl inwardly added another line to herself...

You like this... instead make me...

Want to continue, to lie to myself, I can’t even do that anymore...

Having said that, Sun Keke looked at Chen Nuo with despair, then stood up.

This time, she didn’t rush away quickly, but instead stood up slowly, walked slowly, and left slowly.

Even when she reached the door, passing by Yu Naitang, she paused to look carefully at the child in Little Candy’s arms for a moment.

"The child... is so cute..." With a tearful voice, Sun Keke dropped this sentence, then turned around, walked out of the room, and left.

"..." Yu Naitang was also stunned for a moment, then looked at Chen Nuo. "I... regret this, this scene is really not fun at all..."

"I can tell that this girl is really heartbroken."

Speaking, Yu Naitang clenched her teeth. "Chen Nuo! I was soft-hearted just now! I even started to help you cover up! Why did you still..."

"Some things can be hidden, some things just can’t be hidden," Chen Nuo shook his head.

Then, he stood up and slowly walked out the door as well.

"You... stay home, take care of the child and your teacher. I’ll go out for a bit."

Sun Keke walked out of the residential area in a daze.

She didn’t take a car but walked slowly along the street.

Her pace wasn’t quick, but her tears were endless no matter how much she wiped them away.

After walking for a long time, when she regained a bit of consciousness, Sun Keke looked at the streets and realized she had walked through several streets already.

The sky had completely darkened.

Sun Keke stood at the street corner, watching the pedestrians, the coming and going vehicles.

Can’t go home...

If I go home now, with my heartbroken appearance, my parents will surely ask and worry...

Sun Keke gently shook her head... He and she, they have a child...

Alright, let’s go to the school, to the dormitory, it’s almost curfew time, rush back, lights out, if I return... my classmates probably won’t see me.

Hide under the covers and cry quietly...

No, it won’t work, I can’t hold it in, I will be heard...

Sun Keke continued to shake her head... He and she, they already have a child... what’s there to choose, there’s no choice... he must have chosen her...

No, the tears are coming again. 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

Can’t go home, it’s not good to go to school, so where can I go in the middle of the night?

To Xiaoyan’s place?

It won’t work... I’ll be questioned there too, and I can’t speak out about these things...

Moreover, Xiaoyan has also gone to college, she’s in her school dormitory, it’s inconvenient...

This matter, it’s hard to talk to anyone, hard to explain if I speak out.

Most importantly, I can’t bring myself to say it.

And I don’t want to say it...

He and she, they have a child now... then what am I waiting for!

I don’t have to wait for anything anymore!!

I have nothing to hope for anymore!!

They are a family of three!

What am I still doing in the middle of all this!!!

Yeah, that’s good! That’s good!!

Sun Keke, this is good!! Just let yourself give up completely.

Giving up on him completely is good, too! Sun Keke!!

Suddenly, tears started streaming down again.

Sun Keke stopped in her tracks and went up to a nearby telephone pole, hugging it fiercely and kicking it with her feet.

Not good, not good! It’s not good at all!! Not the slightest bit good!!

This isn’t the outcome I wanted at all!!!!

Not good! Not good at all!

Approximately two hours later.

Sun Keke suddenly realized she had wandered onto a street she didn’t recognize at all.

Looking at the unfamiliar buildings and street signs around her.

Sun Keke stood by the curb at the side of the road and suddenly squatted down.

At that moment, a car slowly approached from the intersection and stopped in front of Sun Keke.

The car window rolled down slowly, and the person inside took a glance at Sun Keke.

Then, the car door opened.

Sun Keke, hearing the noise, looked up.

She saw a face all too familiar, yet one she had always disliked immensely. A pair of long legs now stood right in front of her.

Hmph... still as annoying as ever.

The weather had gradually gotten cooler, yet she still liked to wear short skirts, exposing those long legs...

Inside the car, on the driver’s seat, sat the girl with golden short hair.

"Get in the car, Sun Fatso."

"Li Malang, are you here to gloat over my misfortune..." Sun Keke shook her head. "I’m not in the mood to deal with you now..."

However, Li Yingwan turned her head away, rubbed her eyes forcefully, and then said coldly, "Who likes to watch you suffer! Do you think I’m happy right now!"

"...You know?" Sun Keke looked up at Li Yingwan.

"Yeah... he told us, just a while ago, on the phone," Li Yingwan said, kicking the electric wire beside her forcefully and then angrily continued, "Come on, Sun Fatso, let’s go!"

"Why should I go with you?"

Li Yingwan didn’t reply, but the girl sitting in the car, Niveer, did.

"Sun Keke, we have always been adversaries."

"But now, tonight, at least, if you come with us, we can provide you a place to stay."

"A safe, quiet place free from outsiders’ disturbance, where you can cry your heart out, curse all you want, and vent your emotions freely."

"I know you have nowhere to go. You can’t go home looking like this, and you can’t go to school either."

"I... can just find a hotel to stay in for the night."

"Did you bring any identification? You surely didn’t bring any."

"And... instead of looking for a hotel by yourself, why not come with us? We are also heading to a hotel. Come back with us, and I’ll get you a separate room."

In the end, Sun Keke got into the car.

Even she didn’t know why she did it; she just did—although Sun Keke also understood that these two girls finding her must have been arranged by Chen Nuo.

Before getting into the car, she even turned around to look at both sides of the street.

Although she didn’t see anyone, Sun Keke knew that Chen Nuo must be nearby at this very moment.

Sitting in the back seat inside the car, Niveer quickly tossed a package to her.

It was a packet of tissues.

A really big pack.

"Go ahead and cry! Use the tissues for your tears and snot."
