CHAPTER 92: I LISTEN TO YUANYUAN

Gu Yuan: "..."

If the village chief hadn’t called Gu Yuan, she wouldn’t have bothered with this matter.

Her current intention was just to communicate with Chi Yu, but listening to that tone, it seemed that the stubborn mule on Chi Yu’s end was dead set against reasonable advice.

"Do you really have to buy that bell?" Gu Yuan asked one last time, with a distinctly icy tone.

Chi Yu didn’t dare say the word ’yes’.

When he spoke again, his voice was subdued: "I’ll listen to Yuanyuan."

"Listen to me? Fine, since you say you’ll listen to me, then quickly leave the village chief’s house and stop causing trouble for him." Gu Yuan said with a commanding tone.

Chi Yu: "Alright, I’ll leave right away."

He did as he said.

He really stopped being persistent about that bell.

Gu Yuan finally added, "If you’re sick, get it treated. Don’t waste your time acting crazy, stay in your comfort zone, there are plenty of people who care for you."

Chi Yu quietly lowered his head, only replying after a long time: "I will try hard to get better."

The voice that came from deep in his throat was somewhat broken.

Gu Yuan hung up the phone first.

When the call ended, Chi Yu let his hand holding the phone drop, watching as the phone slipped from his palm. If Yi Shu hadn’t reacted quickly, the phone would have hit the ground.

"Ancestor, this is my phone." Yi Shu was nearly frightened to death when he caught the phone.

Looking up at Chi Yu’s expression, which was as desolate as it could be, Yi Shu straightened his face, trying to comfort him: "I told you when I handed you the phone that President Gu would call to hold you accountable, yet you kept hoping against hope. You should know, President Gu isn’t tolerating you now."

Chi Yu looked at Yi Shu and asked with that broken voice: "Why did you have to repeat that to me?"

Yi Shu was left speechless: "..."

Say it, and you’re unhappy.

Don’t say it, and you play dumb.

It’s tough, so tough!

"Chi Yu, why not... just let it go, this really has no meaning." Yi Shu wanted to say a few wise words, but knowing Chi Yu wouldn’t listen, he picked the most important and brief ones to say.

Chi Yu ignored Yi Shu and walked straight ahead.

Just moments ago, things were heated, but now all that’s left is a desolate figure.

Yi Shu caught up: "Wait for me, Chi Yu, Xiong Yao is already driving over, we can return to Sui City soon..."

The village chief was a bit shocked to see the stubborn young man retreat so quietly after a call from Yanyan, he turned to Aunt Cai and said: "Old lady, did that young man really leave just like that? No more bell?"

Aunt Cai withdrew her gaze and said: "The young man seemed a bit sad, even said on the phone that he’s sick. Do you think he really is sick?"

Sheng Yi, who enjoyed watching the commotion, chimed in: "Yeah, he’s got a mental problem."

"Huh?... He’s got a mental problem?!"

Aunt Cai and the village chief were tongue-tied, looking at each other in dismay.

Sheng Yi laughed a few times and patted Huang’s head: "Alright, it’s nothing now, village chief and Aunt Cai, you don’t have to worry, he won’t come back for the dog’s bell again. Despite looking like a lawless tiger, there are people who can deal with his antics."

Sheng Yi was just there for the spectacle.

Having watched enough, it was time to pack up and leave.

The rural trip over the past few days was quite a good experience, with beautiful scenery and the traces of Yanyan lingering, making Sheng Yi grow increasingly fond of the place.

If it weren’t for needing to get back to work, she’d really like to enjoy a proper vacation here. It’s no wonder Yuanyuan stayed for four months.
