Chapter 40: Foolish Years Come and Go

  Since Luo Chuan and Lin Zhi Qing came to the night market, they realized that there were indeed many people in big cities, even in an inconspicuous night market like this one. After being frightened during the day, Lin Zhi Qing had temporarily returned to her father Lin Yan's place, giving Luo Chuan a brief period of freedom.

  The last time he came here, Luochuan had just bought a string of stinky tofu, and then something happened. So this time, he took the opportunity to come out alone and decided to take a good stroll around.

  Luo Chuan walked around the night market, and indeed there were many things for sale, but none of them suited him. Just as he was about to leave, he saw a familiar figure. He couldn't believe that person was Gu Xinxin, but that familiar voice and that full-bodied figure... who else could it be?

  Luo Chuan walked further to confirm whether the person was Gu Xinxin or not, and with each step he took, he became more certain that it was indeed Gu Xinxin.

  As expected, it was indeed Gu Xinxin, that girl. How did she end up here? Gu Xinxin held a white T-shirt in her hand and stood there shouting loudly, constantly looking at the passing pedestrians. At this moment, she suddenly stopped moving, standing still.

  Right after that, a surprised smile appeared on her face, she threw down the clothes in her hand and ran towards Luo Chuan with open arms. She hugged Luo Chuan's neck tightly and buried her face in his chest, happily saying: "I finally found you, thank goodness."

  Gu Xinxin was so happy that she jumped up with both feet off the ground, almost pouncing on Luochuan's body. This joyful action also attracted the attention of people around them.

  Luo Chuan was initially startled, but immediately separated Gu Xinxin's hands and said: "How did you get here? In front of so many people, how can your silly personality not change?"

  Gu Xinxin still tightly hugged his neck, refusing to let go, and coquettishly said: "I'm just here to find you, for your sake I've suffered a lot! But... but no matter how much more suffering, I'd be happy..."

  Luochuan was suddenly speechless, and from time to time, people would pass by, looking at him with suspicious eyes, as if he were a human trafficker who had abducted a pure girl. Luochuan pushed her away hard, keeping some distance between their bodies, and said: "Is your brain okay? Why did you come to find me? You'll go back tomorrow."

  "Me? No, you go wherever, I'll follow you there. This lifetime is fixed on you." As she spoke, her small mouth pouted out, the wronged look in her eyes was very heart-wrenching to see.

  Luo Chuan felt a big headache and said helplessly: "Damn it, was I in debt to you in my previous life? Don't follow me anymore, I'm busy now and don't have time to take care of you, can't you just go back to the village and wait for me?"

  Gu Xinxin shook her head and said, "I don't want to leave you alone here, there are too many beautiful women here, what if they deceive you and I won't know where to find you. You can be busy with your work, as long as you come here to see me every day, that's enough."

  Every night, as soon as she lay in bed, Gu Xinxin would tell Meng Jia some things about Luo Chuan. Although she had never seen this person before, the name Luo Chuan was already extremely familiar to Meng Jia.

  I didn't expect to actually run into Luo Chuan here today, Meng Jia also felt a spark in front of her eyes, this man was really exceptionally handsome, no wonder he had infatuated Gu Xinxin to the point where she couldn't tell east from west.

  Luo Chuan knew Gu Xinxin's personality, once she made up her mind about something, she wouldn't easily change it. It seemed that this girl wasn't going to leave after all. He looked at Meng Jia standing there and said: "Is that your friend?"

  Gu Xinxin smiled and nodded: "Yes, we two are now business partners. Come on, let me introduce you."

  Gu Xinxin pulled Luo Chuan's hand and came to Meng Jia's front, smiling and saying: "Meng Jia, this is the Luo Chuan brother I've always mentioned to you, isn't he handsome?"

  Luo Chuan nodded slightly and said: "Hello, Meng Jia."

  Meng Jia also met such a handsome man for the first time, she felt her face was a bit hot, fortunately it was evening, no one found that her face had already flown up a red glow, she shyly said in a low voice: "Hello, I often hear Gu Xinxin mention you."

  Luo Chuan looked at the two girls with vastly different personalities, thought for a moment and said: "Alright, after we close up shop later, I'll treat you both to dinner." It was Luo Chuan's first time meeting Meng Jia, so he didn't put too much thought into it.

  However, Gu Xinxin had come all the way to throw herself at his feet, and no matter what her motives were, thinking about how she, a young girl, was struggling to make a living by selling things on the street alone, while still worrying about him in her heart, Luochuan also felt a strange sensation in his heart.

  Actually, Luo Chuan didn't particularly dislike Gu Xinxin, but he felt that she would suffer a lot coming here alone. What's the point of that? It's better to go back to the countryside, where although it's a bit harder and more tiring, at least there are familiar relatives around her, and she won't be lonely like a wandering soul in the big city.

  Gu Xinxin happily linked her arm with Luochuan's, resting her head on his shoulder and said: "It's great, I haven't had a good meal in days."

  At this moment, several boys wearing extremely alternative clothes walked over. The behavior of these people made Luo Chuan feel very uncomfortable. It seemed that these people were not here to make friends. However, Luo Chuan's hostility towards them was not as strong as when he faced Liu Neng.

  After all, young people nowadays are a bit unconventional, and many of them are essentially not bad.

  One of the boys wearing a large chain said, "Do you know that this spot has already been taken? Now pack up your things and leave immediately, otherwise don't blame me for being rude."

  It turned out that these people were brought by a small vendor on the opposite side, and their business had been affected in recent days due to Gu Xinxin's arrival. Moreover, Gu Xinxin always occupied this advantageous terrain, making the boss of the small shop opposite feel resentful.

  Anyway, they were two country girls, so he found a few hoodlums to scare them properly.

  "Looks like you should be calling me 'sister', huh? What are you doing here causing trouble instead of studying, you little brat?"

  Meng Jia was a little scared now. She couldn't afford to mess with someone like that, so she quickly squatted down and started tidying up the things on the ground.

  Gu Xin stopped Meng Jia's action and said in a cold tone, "Meng Jia, don't pick it up. Is there no name written here? Are they the only ones who own this place? I'm right here, let's see how they can deal with us."
