Chapter 126: The Three of Them Dine Together
The two of them spent an entire afternoon chatting in the café, their conversation light and joyful.
That evening, Gong Xueming accompanied Fang Zhiyin home.
Fang Zhiyin had never been particularly fond of boys who dyed their hair in vibrant colors, but this Gong Xueming, despite his ash-gray hair, was not only a gentleman but also a rather charming young man.
On the way back, Gong Xueming shared many stories from his time studying abroad, including some amusing mishaps he experienced while studying film.
Although his family was quite wealthy, Gong Xueming revealed that during his studies in America, he had taken on the most menial jobs, even working as a sewer maintenance worker.
“Why would you do that?” Fang Zhiyin could hardly believe her ears.
If that were the case, after everything had happened, no one could accuse Li Mengran of doing it for money.
Gan Se did not believe he would go out of his way to save anyone; he was somewhat better than his colleagues, but only to a limited extent. Even if an entire planet exploded before his eyes, he wouldn’t bat an eye.
The God of Knowledge was more about understanding and recording knowledge; it was not the same as conducting scientific research.
He hummed the melody softly, and the emptiness he had felt before was gone. This song seemed to hold all his emotions within it.
“Is this the Sword of the Death Angel?” Classmate Robin appeared quite impressed by the sword, but having been beaten by two claws and standing too far away, he missed Xiya’s battle. Now, seeing the sword unexpectedly, he was a bit puzzled.
Just like earlier when they stormed the room to catch those drug offenders, Fu Xuyao’s performance was excellent.
Zhan Lingyang thought his actions were stealthy and unnoticed, but he was unaware that when this episode aired next week, netizens would mock him relentlessly.
Upon overhearing someone questioning whether he was a beggar, Mr. Wang nearly fainted in anger.
He opened his computer to check the online situation. Clearly, the overnight unrest had not subsided; instead, it was escalating.
After all, there were many unfilial children in the world, but truly cruel parents were rare. The clan leader had once doted on his son, but now, seeing things come to this point, he was surely distraught.
“Sir, what is this?” A store clerk, seeing Yu Huifei walk in, asked curiously.
At this moment, Song Tieyun was on the verge of exploding with anger. His face darkened as he looked out at the chaotic scene. The screen on the wall showed reports from various media outlets, and the computer on the desk displayed voices from around the world.
“Damn it!” Li Nan cursed under his breath and kicked the iron chain locking the bike until it snapped.
Liu Huo picked up the white wolf robe from the ground and threw it to Yun Zhe Yue. “Put it on quickly…” he said, then helped Mei Jiaoniang adjust her tattered clothes.
The corridor was dimly lit, with a few scattered patients brushing past them. The examination room was empty. The driver, Zha Wang, ran out to fetch a doctor. After about ten minutes, a Han Chinese doctor named Han Xiangyang arrived. It turned out he was a descendant of the 1950s aid Tibet cadres.
The sound of the function was immense, as if trying to sweep up all the corpses on the ground.
Li Nan couldn’t discern the deeper meaning behind the rat’s words, and the rat himself was unwilling to elaborate. For now, according to his plan, many complications could be avoided.
Yu Huifei felt a bit embarrassed, as he hadn’t been informed previously and truly hadn’t prepared a place for them.
Tian Juhua stayed silent nearby, while Zhou Hongwei gave Wang Peng a thorough look for the first time, seemingly surprised that Wang Peng would speak up for Qiu Shuisheng. He had always thought Wang Peng’s motive for suing over pollution on behalf of Shiquan Village was merely for compensation from the pharmaceutical factory and fame; he didn't believe anyone acted purely out of justice.
“Will he really wake up?” After an unknown length of time, a faint hoarse voice came from nearby, likely from crying too long.
“Oh no, what are we going to do? My two kids are already three years old, and every year it costs two taels of silver just for beam repairs. Mother, you can’t be biased and only send the youngest to school… My husband never got a chance to study, so why should our grandchildren be denied?” Wang Ting immediately cried out with a sorrowful face.
