C135 (1/2)
Early in the morning, before the sun had even risen, Chen Yu had already woken up. Yesterday, when Yuhua's Seafood & Barbecue had just opened, he helped Ren Hua clean up the Knife Scar and the other hoodlums who came to collect protection fees. Ren Hua was very happy, because when they closed the door at night, he and Ren Hua drank a few more cups, so Chen Yu, who had just woken up still felt a little dizzy.
Chen Yu drank a large cup of fruit juice, and after cleaning up a bit, he left the house.
There were too many things that had happened in the past few days, and he had not properly cultivated as well. If he continued like this, then it would be too far before he wanted to return to the Cultivation Realm in the future.
Chen Yu had seen pictures and descriptions of Five Leaf Grass on the internet a few days ago. This type of Spirit Grass was called Ginseng on this planet, and only existed in the mountain regions of the north. Chen Yu planned to take advantage of his free time before going to university to head to the north to find some Five Leaf Spirit Grass to increase his cultivation.
Chen Yu bought the earliest train ticket and sat in the waiting room, patiently waiting for the train to leave.
There was still half an hour before the train leaves. In his boredom, Chen Yu found a quiet place with fewer people, and closed his eyes to rest for a while.
”Is there anyone here?”
A young girl in the prime of his youth pointed to an empty seat beside Chen Yu and asked politely.
Chen Yu slowly opened his eyes and removed the leg from the empty seat.
”Oh, no one is here …”
When the young lady saw Chen Yu's face, she was startled, and immediately became excited.
”You are... You are Chen Yu? ”
Chen Yu looked at this young girl, he seemed to have seen her somewhere before, but he was still unable to remember where.
”You are?”
This young lady revealed a sweet smile, directly sat down beside Chen Yu in the empty seat, and took out a bottle of beverage, giving it to him.
”Benefactor, I'm Faang Yi. Don't you recognize me?”
Benefactor? Faang Yi?
Chen Yu blinked his eyes, immediately recalling this young lady. So it turned out that she was the woman who bought the flowers …
”Faang Yi, what a coincidence …”
Chen Yu smiled slightly. Ever since he saved this Miss Faang Yi from a bunch of hoodlums last time, they had never seen her again. To think that they would actually meet each other here today.
Seeing Chen Yu thinking of him, Faang Yi laughed happily.
”Benefactor, where are you going?”
Chen Yu smiled slightly, shrugged his shoulders, and said, ”I'm going to the north.”
Hearing about Chen Yu's whereabouts, Faang Yi became even more excited in her heart.
”Really?” I just so happen to be going back to my hometown, so let's go together. ”
It turned out that Faang Yi's birthplace was in the north, and because of a fire in the deep forest, her entire family burned down, and her parents died due to that fire. At home, only her elderly grandfather lived with her.
Since the weather in the north was very cold during the winter season, my grandfather accidentally broke his leg during a hunting session. Later, he was unable to walk on the ground for a long time, so he changed into rheumatism.
The Faang Yi who had slowly grown up, saw her grandfather being tormented everyday by rheumatism, her heart ached. In order to treat her grandfather's illness, she decided to withdraw from school and earn money to treat her grandfather's illness.
At that time, Faang Yi, who was only sixteen years old, came to the Tongcheng City and started her career as a worker. Because she was not an adult yet, he used her in many places.
In the blink of an eye, a year had already passed. Faang Yi relied on her hard work to earn a lot of money, but because she was born beautiful and had a sweet appearance, she often attracted the teasing of some hoodlums. ”When they bought the flowers, the lackeys wanted to take Faang Yi away by force. Fortunately, Chen Yu had appeared in time, and thus, they were able to avoid that crisis.
Chen Yu did not expect to meet Faang Yi here. Honestly speaking, after saving this lady before, when he carried her home to treat his leg injuries, Chen Yu was unable to suppress the urge in his heart. He originally wanted to go with Song Hanwei to the north, but the wound on his face had not healed yet, so he went alone. This time, meeting Faang Yi at the train station made Chen Yu a little happy. With such a beautiful woman accompanying him, he could no longer be bored.
”Are those hoodlums bothering you?”
Chen Yu opened the drink that Faang Yi passed to him, took a big gulp, pursed his lips and asked softly.
Ever since Faang Yi saved her last time, it was precisely Faang Yi who had grown up and lively. She had also secretly fallen for Chen Yu, and another thing, was that in the village she was born in, there was a custom whereby once a man touched her foot, that man would become her husband. If that man didn't want to take her as his wife, then that girl would never be able to marry him.
Ever since Chen Yu treated her foot injuries and left in silence, Faang Yi could not calm down for a long time. If he did not see this benefactor again in his entire life, she would never marry again.
”Benefactor, thank you for your help last time …”
Faang Yi naturally looked at Chen Yu, but when their eyes met, it made her immediately feel embarrassed.
A youthful girl meeting someone he liked. This kind of action was quite normal.
Seeing Faang Yi's face blushing red, Chen Yu felt a little awkward. Could it be that this Miss Faang Yi had fallen for him?
Thinking about Song Hanwei and his beautiful teacher, Chen Yu shrugged her shoulders and turned her gaze elsewhere.
”It's better if you don't keep on calling me benefactor. My name is Chen Yu, you can call me by my full name, or Brother Yu …”
Chen Yu said indifferently. He was really not used to hearing the two words ”benefactor”.
Chen Yu's words made the little deer in Faang Yi's heart flutter wildly, and her heart became a little nervous. His hands tightly held onto the Drinking Bottle in his hands, as he spoke in a very bashful manner.
