Jian Yufei tugged at him, questioning why he spoke so rudely to the elderly man.
Ruan Tianling, however, saw nothing wrong with his actions.
The elderly man didn’t mind and smiled, "I’m waiting for soone, thank you for your kindness."
"If that’s the case, we’ll be going then."
Jian Yufei smiled and then pulled Ruan Tianling away.
Not long after their car drove off, a little girl appeared from seemingly nowhere.
"Grandpa, it’s confird to be here," said the little girl.
The elderly man nodded, "I understand."
......
On the way back, Jian Yufei was still thinking about that elderly man.
Yesterday, when she saw him with that little girl, she already felt they were quite odd.
eting him again today, even without the little girl, seed too coincidental.
Who exactly are they?
"What are you thinking about?" Ruan Tianling pulled her out of her thoughts.
"That elderly man earlier..."
"What?! You’ve been thinking about an old man with wrinkles all over his face?!" Ruan Tianling imdiately felt displeased.
Jian Yufei was speechless, "Stop being so jealous, too much jealousy is bad for your health."
"Is he even worth my jealousy?" Ruan Tianling scoffed, full of disdain.
Anyone with eyes could tell, he was handso and young, wealthy and devoted.
With him around, how could Jian Yufei possibly notice that kind of old man?
"Why are you thinking about him?" Ruan Tianling asked.
"I saw him at the bridge entrance yesterday," Jian Yufei admitted, "and seeing him again today feels too coincidental."
Ruan Tianling squinted, "He was at the bridge entrance yesterday too?"
"Mm. He had a little girl with him, about four or five years old. I guess that was his granddaughter."
"I rember you ntioned yesterday that the little girl seed a bit odd."
"How do you know the girl I ntioned is the sa one?"
"In yesterday’s scene, how many people could you rember at once?"
That’s true...
"Mm, she was a bit strange; maybe that child has so issues," Jian Yufei said, still unwilling to believe a child could see ghosts.
Besides, it was just a sudden guess she made yesterday.
The child probably has so condition, perhaps hallucinations, living in her own world and constantly talking to herself.
Hearing her explanation, Ruan Tianling dismissed his concerns.
A little girl and an old man should be nothing suspicious.
Still, he would have people be on guard and not let any clues slip.
Truth is, he wasn’t afraid of being discovered, but afraid Jian Yufei would find out...
If she knew he was experinting on living people, she would hate him for sure.
He also knew he shouldn’t be doing this, but for her, he was willing to do anything and everything outrageous.
For her, he would rather betray the whole world.
It’s just that she definitely wouldn’t like his way of expressing this.
But even if she didn’t like it, he had to do it because he must cure her illness, he must!
...
Jian Yufei promised to knit a scarf for Ruan Tianling as a reward.
After returning that day, Ruan Tianling insisted she finish his first.
Since it was winter, a finished scarf could be used right away.
Jian Yufei had already knitted a scarf for the two children.
She chose a bright red yarn, a festive color, and it was almost New Year.
The children looked cheerful with the scarves around their necks, very endearing.
The two children’s scarves were identical, but as of now, she’d only finished one.
