Stay away from beasts in the world of Siheyuan

After running out of the alley, Sun Yue happened to see a bus slowly approaching. She didn't bother to think about where the bus was going, and she got on without hesitation.

As the vehicle continued to move forward, the distance between it and Maoer Hutong gradually increased, and Sun Yue's heart, which had been pounding, finally slowly calmed down.

Thinking of what she had just witnessed, a barely perceptible dark light involuntarily flashed across Sun Yue's lowered eyes.

She secretly vowed that one day she would set foot on this land again and return to the old city.

By then, she would never let go of any of those who had hurt her.

Just like that, Sun Yue sat quietly in his seat, letting his thoughts wander.

After an unknown amount of time, she finally stood up as if awakened from a dream and walked towards the conductor at the front of the carriage.

Glancing at the unfamiliar streets outside, Sun Yue knew he had left that area.

At this time, she stood up and walked towards the conductor on the bus: "Excuse me, comrade, I want to ask if this bus goes to Nanluoguxiang?"

"No, you did it wrong. Get off at the next stop." The ticket seller's attitude was not very good, but he still answered Sun Yue's question.

Sun Yue didn't care about the other party's attitude, and asked in a gentle tone: "Comrade, which car should I take to go back?"

The conductor looked Sun Yue up and down and found that she was dressed well, so he said, "Get off the bus and go to the opposite side. You can still take this bus and get there."

"Sorry for the trouble." Sun Yue thanked the ticket seller with a smile, then walked to the back of the bus to wait.

Not long after, accompanied by a slight mechanical sound, the bus stopped. When the slightly old rear door slowly opened, Sun Yue jumped down the stairs swiftly.

As the bus gradually went away, she took a deep breath, adjusted her pace, and walked slowly and calmly towards the bus stop across the street, waiting for the next bus to arrive.

Nowadays, even in the inner city, the number of buses is pitifully small, and the intervals between buses are worryingly long.

By the time she returned to Nanluoguxiang, the sun had already set, the sky was getting dark, and time had unknowingly come to the point of dinnertime.

Sun Yue stood at the gate of the courtyard, secretly planning to return to Xu Changping's house as best as possible without disturbing other people, just like he did when he went out in the morning.

However, things did not go as planned. Just as she walked into the gate, suddenly, a fat old man appeared from nowhere, stood in front of her and blocked her way.

The old man looked serious, staring at Sun Yue, and shouted, "Stop! Little girl, you are not from our courtyard. What are you doing here?"

Sun Yue was startled, but quickly calmed down.

She thought for a moment and replied softly, "Hello, sir. I'm here to see Yang Xiaoyue. I'm her good friend."

Sun Yue did not mention Xu Changping's name after some consideration.

After all, if he said he was here to look for Xu Changping, there would probably be some rumors spreading in the yard, which would bring unnecessary trouble to Yang Xiaoyue and Xu Changping.

"Yang Xiaoyue? There is no such person in our courtyard!" The second uncle thought for a moment, then stared at him and said in a stern tone: "Tell me, are you here to steal something?"

"Of course I live in your east wing." Sun Yue didn't expect that the old man would accuse her of being a thief as soon as they met, and she immediately shouted angrily.

"East Cross Courtyard?" The third uncle looked confused for a while, then he said with a look of sudden realization: "Ah! You are talking about Xu Changping's fiancée, right? We usually don't call her by her name. When you mentioned it just now, I didn't remember it."

"Then can I go in now?" Sun Yue didn't want to get entangled with this fat old man, and said in a cold tone.

Seeing Sun Yue's attitude, the third uncle immediately became unhappy and said with a stern face: "I will go with you. You can't just say you know someone. What if he doesn't know you?"

As the third uncle walked, he blamed the third aunt in his heart: he always called Xu Changping a bastard and his fiancée a vixen, which made him forget to think of the other person's name for a while.

As soon as I entered the East Cross Courtyard, the Third Uncle shouted loudly: "Xu Xiaozi, are you home? Someone is looking for your fiancée, call her out to see if she recognizes him."

Xu Changping was sitting in the room. When he heard Liu Haizhong's shout, he knew who was looking for Yang Xiaoyue. He immediately opened the door and greeted him with a smile: "Uncle, this is Xiaoyue's friend. Why did you bother to bring her in?"

"It's nothing to bother you. I just happened to meet you. Since you know each other, I'll leave first." Seeing Xu Changping's good attitude, Liu Haizhong felt much better. He turned around and left the East Courtyard with his hands behind his back.

"Come in and have dinner." Seeing Liu Haizhong's back disappearing into the moon gate, Xu Changping said softly in a flat tone.

After saying that, he turned around and walked back into the house first.

Sun Yue thought Xu Changping would ask her where she had been, but she didn't expect him to have this attitude. She didn't say anything and just followed him into the house silently.

"Sun Yue, you're back. Wash your hands and sit down to eat." Yang Xiaoyue greeted him with a smile when she saw Sun Yue following behind Xu Changping.

Sun Yue glanced at Yang Xiaoyue gratefully and replied crisply, "Hey, I'll be right there."

After saying that, he quickly walked to the sink, washed his hands carefully, and found a seat at the dining table.

"Come, have some dumplings." Yang Xiaoyue brought a plate of dumplings and gently placed it next to Sun Yue's hand.

Hearing Yang Xiaoyue's words, Sun Yue paused holding the chopsticks and her eyes fell on the delicious dishes on the table that had not been touched yet. Suddenly, an indescribable feeling of sourness surged in her heart.

As the saying goes: "Eat dumplings when you get on the bus and noodles when you get off."

It goes without saying that the scene before her was all created by Yang Xiaoyue specifically to see her off.

Thinking of this, Sun Yue felt his eyes getting slightly hot, and his throat seemed to be blocked by something, making him unable to speak.

She never dreamed that her grandfather and fiancé, whom she once regarded as family, would stab her deeply in the back.

The person who came to her aid was just a customer who had bought dried tofu from her before.

Even if she had other interactions with Xu Changping, it was all because she received help from him.

Thinking of this, Sun Yue silently decided in her heart that when she left, she would leave a big gift for Xu Changping and Yang Xiaoyue.
