C58 (1/2)

When I got back to the neighborhood, it was already one in the afternoon. I pushed open the door and walked in, only to see Tick asleep on the sofa.

Tick was leaning against the sofa, her hair a bit disheveled. I knew instantly that Tick had been waiting for me ever since I texted her yesterday.

After getting rid of those people yesterday, I texted Tick and told her that I had some things to take care of here, that I couldn't go back for the time being, and that she should sleep on her own and not wait for me. When I finished, I turned off my phone.

I tiptoed over to Tick and looked at her tired face. My heart was full of guilt. I knew Tick must have been worried about me ever since she got my text. I didn't have time to do anything with another woman, so I left her alone in the house, waiting with great difficulty.

I wanted to carry Tick into the room, but as soon as my hand touched her waist, she opened her eyes.

When Tick saw me, she froze for a moment, then hugged me and sobbed.

The flute was holding onto mine, tears instantly flowed down her cheeks, and she sobbed, ”Wuu, Yang Zi, you're finally back, I thought something was wrong with you.”

I gently caressed Tick's hair and comforted her softly, ”Alright, don't cry anymore. Yesterday, something happened so I couldn't do anything about it. That's why I came back late.” During the time I spent with Tick, I discovered that Tick was actually a very insecure person. The reason she was able to make the decision to go to work was because of her dream. And now, I was her insistence.

”I knew you'd come back.”

After finally being able to console the flute, I wanted to directly carry it to my room. The moment I exerted my strength, the pain in my arm made it impossible for me to carry it.

At this moment, Tick also notices the wound on my hand. It's so dark and black that it would be strange if she didn't see it. She, who had finally calmed down, started crying once again.

Tick's eyes were red as she helped me apply the medicine, and I told her about what happened last night. Tick's been working in the yard for so long that even if I don't tell her, she'll find out if she asks someone else. But I didn't say anything else. I told her I had gone to a small hotel to hide.

In the afternoon, I arrived an hour early. So much time happened last night, I must explain this to Sister Yu.

I had just walked out of my house when my cell phone rang. It was the weasel who had called me.

”Hey, Yang Zi, Sister Yu told me to tell you, you must not come inside for the next few days, just stay at home properly, you must not go out!” As soon as the call connected, a desperate voice of the weasel could be heard from the other end of the line.

I suddenly had a bad thought and hurriedly asked, ”Weasel, what happened?!”

The weasel said helplessly, ”Last night, the person causing trouble here was Wu Ye's nephew, now Fifth Master has brought some people over, and asked Sister Yu to call you out by name. Sister Yu asked me to call you to inform you, you definitely can't come in here at this time, otherwise, hey hey hey hey!”

Hearing the weasel's words, I hung up the phone and rushed to the scene without hesitation. It took me less than fifteen minutes to get to the back door.
