Duan Hongxu placed the suitcase behind him, sat gracefully on it, and looked up at the starry sky.
I'm being myself.
Duan Xuanyu nodded. "Then you can continue."
Duan Xuanyu turned and left.
Duan Hongxu quickly followed him.
Seeing that he was about to head towards the arcade where Su Mian was, Duan Hongxu quickly stepped forward to stop him. "Grandpa, don't!"
Duan Xuanyu slightly turned to the side to avoid his touch and pressed the lock on the arcade door.
It was empty inside; no one was there.
Duan Hongxu was shocked.
Where is Su Mian's body?
Duan Xuanyu didn't see Su Mian here, so he went to look for her elsewhere.
Duan Hongxu also hurried to look for it.
They went to all the places Su Mian might have gone, but they still couldn't find her.
I called her, but no one answered.
The family's nanny and security guards searched everywhere, but there was no trace of him.
The surveillance cameras... he just turned them off himself.
But perhaps we can get some footage of Su Mian before it closes?
So Duan Xuanyu continued searching everywhere in the Duan Family, while Duan Hongxu quickly went back to his room to check the surveillance footage.
He was flipping through the book at 16x speed when he suddenly heard someone knocking on the door.
Duan Hongxu: "Come in."
No one went in.
Duan Hongxu didn't pay much attention and continued watching the surveillance footage.
Suddenly, someone knocked on the door again.
He was angry.
Who is it?! They must be fired!
He went over to open the door.
The corridor was empty; there was no one there.
Duan Hongxu a chill run down his spine.
He hurried back and turned on the live surveillance of the corridor.
thump thump thump--
There was another knock on the door!
But there was no one outside!
Duan Hongxu a chill run down his spine.
Since time travel is possible in this world...
Is it possible that it's haunted?
Duan Hongxu quickly went online to find exorcism programs, intending to use electronic methods to exorcise ghosts.
He quickly found the program and clicked to download it.
The screen went black briefly during the download, which reflected the noise behind it...
He saw a hand reach out from the cabinet by the door and knock on the door!
Aww!
No wonder there was no one outside!
So that's how she knocked it from the inside!
Duan Hongxu finally realized he'd been tricked. He stood up, furious, and shouted, " Su Mian! So you were hiding inside the closet, knocking on my door! Come out here!"
Let the room be quiet for a while.
Su Mian climbed out of the cupboard.
Upon seeing her face clearly, Duan Hongxu let out another roar in fright!
"Ah! Get away! Get away! You filthy thing!"
Su Mian's skin peeled off like a snake shedding its skin!
Duan Xuanyu, who was outside, also heard the noise.
He opened the door and came in, staring at Su Mian's peeling face.
Her gaze shifted from shock to heartache.
He suddenly walked up to Su Mian and hugged her tightly. "It's okay, even if you're a snake spirit, it doesn't matter. I absolutely won't feed you realgar on the Dragon Boat Festival."
Duan Hongxu was dumbfounded.
Okay, okay!
Our ancestor, an ancient person, was quite the charmer!
Su Mian silently left Duan Xuanyu's embrace, tearing off all the pretense of civility.
"It's a peel-off face mask."
While I was hiding in the closet, intending to scare Duan Hongxu, I figured I might as well put on a face mask since I had nothing else to do. After all, I had an audition for the female lead in a movie tomorrow.
Because Duan Hongxu only realized it after so long, the face mask had dried out and half of it had fallen off.
Duan Xuanyu took the opportunity to touch her face. "It really is!"
-
The Duan Family quickly returned to normal.
The three of them had been playing happily for so long that they were hungry.
Let's go downstairs together to find something to eat.
Duan Hongxu has already instructed the kitchen to prepare a late-night snack.
While waiting, he saw some fries on the table, picked them up, and tasted them.
Click.
Duan Hongxu was in tears.
Now I finally know how Su Mian made that click.
He carried the fries to the table and handed them to Duan Xuanyu: "Grandpa, would you like to try some?"
Duan Xuanyu: "Even a dog wouldn't eat that."
Su Mian: "I made it."
Duan Xuanyu snatched the fries. "On the other hand, if the dog won't eat them, I will."
Duan Hongxu: "..."
Ugh, I can't take it anymore!
What a terrible emperor he was!
They must be broken up!
They must be broken up!
Duan Hongxu sat down in a fit of rage.
The two people huddled together, intently watching a thrilling movie about child abduction.
Duan Hongxu also moved closer to Su Mian and watched with them.
After a while, Auntie Wang brought out the late-night snack.
Su Mian picked up a piece of pastry, her eyes still fixed on the screen.
Clatter
The pastry wasn't held properly and fell to the ground.
Su Mian bent down slightly, reached out and quickly picked it up from the ground.
The two men around her were engrossed in the movie, and no one noticed her actions.
She casually held it to Duan Xuanyu's lips. "Here."
Duan Xuanyu was taken aback, then looked at Su Mian with surprise.
In ancient times, he was only fed by Su Mian once, and that was when he was injured and unable to move his hand.
After he recovered from his injuries, he never received that treatment again.
Duan Xuanyu was about to go eat.
Duan Hongxu, who was standing next to her, grabbed Su Mian's wrist, pulled her in front of him, and ate her.
Hehe, slow to speak.
Duan Xuanyu's eyes were filled with murderous intent.
Before he could speak, Su Mian handed him another piece of land. "Then you can eat what you spilled on the ground."
Duan Xuanyu immediately went from gloomy to cheerful.
Duan Hongxu's smile froze, "... No?"
Auntie Wang, standing behind them, watched the three of them with a smile.
This show is so good, the three of you should go on a dating reality show together!
The audience will absolutely slap you three to death.
The three of them continued watching the movie.
The movie is in its final stages.
The human traffickers have been apprehended and sentenced to death.
I never expected this human trafficker to actually try to gain sympathy.
"I know I was wrong. I beg the court to give me a lenient sentence. I have three children of my own. If I'm executed, what will happen to my children?"
Duan Xuanyu earnestly suggested, "Why not sell it to competitors at a lower price?"
Duan Hongxu exclaimed admiringly, "That's wonderful! The child can be saved!"
Even Su Mian couldn't help but applaud him. "6."
Duan Xuanyu's lips curled up slightly when he heard Su Mian's praise.
Su Mian has an audition tomorrow, so she'll go to sleep after watching the movie.
Duan Hongxu found a new movie, and the grandfather and grandson watched it together.
It was supposed to be a horror movie.
But Duan Hongxu noticed that Duan Xuanyu always had a smile on his face.
Ever since Su Mian praised Duan Xuanyu with the word "6," he's had a smug, self-satisfied expression on his face, and it's remained so until now.
Duan Hongxu couldn't take it anymore. "No way, what are you enjoying?!"
Duan Xuanyu: "Didn't you hear me?"
Duan Hongxu: "What?"
Duan Xuanyu: "She said in English, 'I love you.'"
"..." Duan Hongxu cried out in despair, "She said 6!"
Duan Xuanyu said confidently, "You misheard."
"..." Duan Hongxu was starting to regret teaching his grandfather foreign languages!
He sighed, "Ancestor, someone like you would be called a 'simp' in modern times."
Duan Xuanyu was silent for a few seconds before speaking, "I have fought in the north and south, and have never been defeated."
Duan Hongxu: "So?"
Duan Xuanyu: "I'm not a simp, I'm K9."
K9 is a phonetic transliteration of the word "Canine," and is an internationally recognized code name for police and military dogs.
Duan Hongxu had shown him the history of World War II, and at that time K9 was already used to refer to military dogs, which he remembered.
Duan Hongxu stared silently at the ceiling.
That's enough.
Never teach ancient people to learn foreign languages.
It will corrupt your brain!
