Chapter 47: What Are You Still Waiting For?

  "You're just good with words," Qitian showed his dissatisfaction: "Have you forgotten what you promised me?"

  Lu Xiaotong was very unhappy in his heart. This turtle grandson knew that the day he went to his own home, but he solemnly talked about what policy. If you can persist until the end, it's okay, but Bai Lao Wan changed the policy with just one phone call. Isn't this underestimating oneself? At that time, I was quite moved and excited, but later thinking about it, it wasn't like that at all. This isn't putting oneself in the eyes of others? However, being angry is one thing, but it can only be in my heart, and my face cannot show it, not yet at this time.

  "How could I have forgotten?" Luo Xiaotong said solemnly, "I've been busy with the opening of the furnace these past few days, so I was delayed. You must forgive me. But now it's all right, the busy period is over. Even if you didn't come, in a few days I would have gone to look for you."

  Qitian isn't stupid, so he wouldn't believe Luo Xiaotong's words. He came today to make it clear that he wanted Luo Xiaotong to give an explanation. If Luo Xiaotong didn't fulfill his promise, Qitian had ways to deal with him. Dealing with a nobody like Luo Xiaotong was easy for Qitian. Even if someone backed Luo up, Qitian wouldn't care; after all these years, he still knew how to handle such situations. However, since Luo Xiaotong swore that he hadn't forgotten and Qitian couldn't just make things difficult for him, he smiled and said: "Well, I'm here today, so why not do it now?"

  Look at him being so anxious, Luo Xiaotong was amused: "Director Qi is indeed someone who works efficiently and plays energetically." He chuckled and said: "But not today."

  Qitian didn't like it from the start, thinking that Luo Xiaotong was intentionally stalling, hoping that he would forget about it after a long time. He sneered: "Brother, you may not understand me yet. Although my official position is not high and my prestige is ordinary, if someone looks down on me or plays tricks on me, I think I still can't tolerate it easily. That day I let you off the hook, but I can still make you know that playing with me isn't fun."

  Faced with such an overt threat, Luo Xiaotong wished he could pick up a knife and kill this arrogant guy in one go. However, there was no way to do that, as society did not allow for casual murder, and even if it did, taking on Qitian would only end in his own disadvantage.

  "Look, I didn't say I wouldn't keep my promise. Besides, I really want to be friends with you, how can I not keep my word? It's just that the place I want to take you is somewhere you've never been before, and even many people haven't been there either. So I need to do some preparation first, only then can I take you there."

  The more he spoke, the more mysterious it became, and Qi Tian had no choice but to go along with it. His attitude also changed: "You first reveal some information, let me prepare, what is this place?" With a devout face.

  "This can't be said, you'll know when the time comes," Luo Xiaotong decided to tempt him after all: "Wait for my news these two days."

  "I wouldn't dare," Luo Xiaotong said firmly: "How would I play such a joke on you."

  It makes sense to think about it, even if you want to fool yourself, you still need an explanation. Anyway, it's not a few days, just bear with it. Tell Luo Xiaotong to hurry up, and then leave.

  Watching his back, Luo Xiaotong clenched her fists. Just you wait, kid, I'll let you know my strength.

  Put on work clothes, light the stove, and let the flames surge high. Threw some coal in, stopped to think about how to fulfill his promise to Qitian.

  He snapped his fingers and calculated that he should be able to go to Chun Lü tomorrow, wasn't it said that the door opens every three days? It's just tomorrow. However, he didn't want to directly take Qi Tian over there because he felt that this matter needed to ask for Chun Lü's opinion first. He remembered that Chun Lü had said before that it wasn't a place where anyone could go whenever they wanted, one needed that kind of fate to be able to enter.

  It's okay, these two days my mind has been filled with the shadow of spring green. Although that place is still a bit scary to think about, and even feels somewhat ambiguous, but after all, I've experienced it personally, so I believe it really exists.

  The next day, starting from noon, Luo Xiaotong began to sleep, occasionally getting up to add some coal to the stove, as the weather was not very cold yet, so relaxing a bit wouldn't be a big deal.

  At midnight, Luo Xiaotong was already fully prepared. The night air was very cold, so Luo Xiaotong put on an extra layer of clothing and took a flashlight before heading out. Although he had been there once before, his heart was still racing as he made his way forward. When he arrived at the cemetery, the wind was howling, and the withered leaves on the trees made the atmosphere even more terrifying. Under the light of the flashlight, Luo Xiaotong checked the time - there were only a few minutes left until midnight. This waiting was unbearable, so Luo Xiaotong could only hum a little tune to comfort himself. After finishing the song, there was still no movement. Luo Xiaotong started to feel afraid and whispered to the lonely grave: "Spring Green sister, I'm here, why haven't you appeared?" It was just something he said casually, also as a way of comforting himself. Unexpectedly, the lights suddenly lit up in front of him, and Spring Fragrance Temple appeared before his eyes.

  Lu Xiaotong stood up straight, looked around and searched for Fangfang's trace, but there was no one in sight. Where did the person go, huh? Won't they be receiving guests? Lu Xiaotong thought to himself as he stepped inside the door. Just as he entered, Fangfang came out of a side room with a smile all over her face: "Honorable guest, you've arrived." She walked up and grabbed Lu Xiaotong's hand, being very affectionate.

  Lu Xiaotong nodded, smiling and saying: "Fangfang sister, I'm looking for Chunlv." Fangfang's mouth curled up, smiling at him: "Are you reminding me? Hehe, you only know Chunlv, but here, beautiful women are everywhere. Counting this, you're already an old customer, according to our rules, you can choose any girl you like." A hand stretched out beside Lu Xiaotong's pants: "Including me."

  Lu Xiaotong quietly moved his body away, he did have that thought, looking at such a beauty, how could he not be moved at all. However, this is not something to be taken lightly, although he had been here before, but still unfamiliar with the place, and didn't know what rules there were, in case he accidentally broke the rules, it might end badly, that would be a loss.

  "Fangfang sister, thank you for your kindness," Luo Xiaotong didn't want to offend the people here, having learned a lesson from Yan sister's ferocity last time, so he had to be careful: "This time it won't do, I have something to discuss with Chunlüe sister." Fangfang didn't force him: "Then you must remember, don't forget me next time."

  Lu Xiaotong responded with a sound, which was enough to get past it. The program didn't change, and when she arrived at Yan Jie's door, she greeted her early and Yan Jie was overjoyed, waving her hand for Fang Fang to leave, pulling Lu Xiaotong in for a kiss: "Xiaotong, this time you have to accompany me." She had a great memory, remembering Lu Xiaotong's name as soon as they met.

  Lu Xiaotong thought to himself, every man who comes here seems to have to go through a routine physical examination. If Yan Jie makes such a request of every man, isn't that suspected of being unfair and taking advantage of one's position for personal gain? In his own life experience, this is indeed suspected of abusing power for personal benefit. It's just that the ones who usually make such requests are men, while women rarely do so. It seems there's a big difference between yin and yang.

  She was thinking, Yan Jie chuckled and asked: "Xiao Tong, what are you thinking about?" Luo Xiao Tong snapped back to reality, smiled slightly: "Nothing, nothing, just think that Yan Jie is even more beautiful than last time." Women love it when others say they're beautiful, this is Luo Xiao Tong's experience, also the experience of most men, even if they're not beautiful, saying so will still make them bloom with joy. Saying nice things never goes wrong.

  This sentence really worked, and Yan Jie's face lit up: "Dear, what are you waiting for? Come on." She grabbed Luo Xiaotong's hand and headed towards the bed.
