Little Chu looked at the Spicy Strip, and the corners of his dry mouth twitched.
âYou canât be lazy. You have to get well quickly.â
Little Chu blinked his eyes as a response to the spicy stick.
âOur shop was burned down. When you get better, weâre going to catch those people who smashed our shop and beat them upâŚâ
Little Chu blinked again.
âI canât let anyone find out,â the Spicy Strip whispered as it approached Little Chu.
One could see a faint smile in Little Chuâs eyesâŚ
Xie Xize dragged his still numb legs and walked back ungracefully.
Jiang Niancheng and the Crown Prince followed behind him slowly. âBy the way, I thought I heard a commotion outside. What happened?â
âZhou You is here,â said Xie Xize.
It was as if Jiang Nianchengâs tongue had been cut off and he could not make a sound.
Xie Xize had already walked far away, but Jiang Niancheng was still standing there without moving. The crown prince walked back.âWhatâs wrong with you?
Did the doctorâs disease spread to you?â
Jiang Niancheng wanted to cry but had no tears. King You of Zhou was here⌠What the f * Ck âŚ
She was surprised to see Jiang Nianchengâs face crumble.
âWhat are you doing? Whatâs wrong with you?â
Jiang Niancheng held the Crown Princeâs hand. Arenât you afraid?â
The crown princeâs hand was in pain from the grip. He could not shake it off even after shaking it a few times. â King You of Zhou? He has been dead for thousands of years. How did he come back to life?â
Jiang Niancheng pushed the crown prince away and said,âGet lost. Iâm talking about Zhou You.â Zhou YouâŚâ
The Crown Prince replied,âZhou You âŚâ It seemed like ⌠I donât know âŚâ
He was studying at a university in Europe, and his PhD was also in Europe. He was not with Jiang Niancheng and Xie XizeâŚ
Jiang Niancheng held his head with both hands and scratched his hair.
âNo, I have to find Old Xie. I have to leave for a few days ⌠Iâll come back after Zhou You scram.â
The Crown Prince was surprised. How rare, you arenât even afraid of the professor, but youâre actually afraid of that Zhou You, who is he?â
The crown prince and the others were a little afraid of Xie Xize, but Jiang Niancheng was always in front of Xie Xize. He didnât have any rules and dared to say anything. He was quite bold.
They all felt that someone like Jiang Niancheng probably didnât even know about it, so what was there to be afraid of?
She didnât expect to see Jiang Niancheng being so cowardly today.
Jiang Niancheng: â Youâre really naive. You have no idea what kind of person that bastard is. No, no, no, heâs not human. Calling him human is an insult to all of humanity. He has no face to speak of, no lower limit, no moral integrity, do you know that? â
The Crown Prince shook his head.
âIâve never spent time with him. How would I know?â
âI do, I know.â
âNow that you mention it, Iâm really very curiousâŚl suddenly feel like meeting this Prince You of Zhou.â
