Chapter 397: Was It a Coincidence?

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

After these things were done, they could go home. Du Yue saw the old lady and the young man in the crowd. They also saw her. The man seemed curious and excited. His big black eyes looked over from time to time. After making eye contact with Du Yue, he subconsciously avoided her gaze, but the corners of his mouth could not help but curl up. Du Yue was a little confused. She did not know what the man was so happy about.

But soon, the two left with the group of people. Their time was very tight. After they finished working in Du Yue’s field, they still had to rush to the next place to work.

A hundred people had to share six catties of grain. Even if it was all made into cornbread with water, it would not be enough for so many people. Watching their backs disappear from sight, Du Yue and the other two drove back to the alley. The door was wide open, and they could enter directly. It was quiet in the courtyard. No one knew where the youth had gone. Du Yue and the other two walked to the door of the room and saw that the cloth bag from earlier was folded neatly on the stool.

“This child is quite efficient at work. You asked him to put it at the door, but he even specially found a stool to put it on. He’s probably afraid of dirtying this bag.” As Xia Ju spoke, she picked up the bag and shook it casually. However, just as she shook it, Xia Ju’s expression changed.

Seeing Xia Ju stop, Du Yue asked in confusion, “What’s wrong?”

Xia Ju placed the bag on the tip of her nose and sniffed it. “There’s the smell of blood on it.”

Hearing this, Du Yue frowned and went over to smell it. Xia Ju was right. This bag indeed smelled of blood. The young man must have been injured and bleeding, so he accidentally left the smell on the bag when he was folding it. However, how serious was his injury to be able to bleed so much that even the smell of blood got on the bag?

Even Du Yue, who had always refused to investigate other people’s matters, could not help but be curious at this time. The three of them were silent, but there was movement in the courtyard outside. There were voices and the sound of footsteps, proving that he had brought others back. Du Yue was listening attentively when Xia Ju walked to the door and opened it. As the door opened, the sounds in the courtyard became clearer.

“This is the only room that’s empty now, but I can also vacate my room for you to stay in. Don’t worry, the bedding in my room has just been washed, and it’s very clean.” Hearing the young man’s words, Du Yue realized who he had brought back.

This was his new tenant. Just as Du Yue was about to walk out to take a look, she heard a pleasant female voice. “If you give us your room, where will you stay?”

Hearing this, Du Yue stopped in her tracks. Why did it sound so familiar? Even though she already had a guess in his heart, Du Yue still stuck her head out to take a look. After seeing the person standing at the door of the opposite room, Du Yue thought that her ears were indeed sensitive.

The woman who spoke just now was Xia Zhixing. It had been a few days since the last time she had a quick glance at her. Now that she was standing a few meters away, she could naturally see her more clearly than last time. Xia Zhixing stood at the door of the opposite room, wearing a dark gray tracksuit. Her clothes were a little loose, making her slender figure appear even more fragile.

However, just looking at her face without makeup was enough to make people stunned.

Looking at Xia Zhixing, Du Yue was a little dazed. She could not tell whether these encounters were a coincidence or not. If so, what was she after? If not, then this was too much of a coincidence. How could they meet each other so many times in a place so far away from the third base? Du Yue kept staring at her back. Xia Zhixing seemed to have sensed it and turned to look at her.

The few people standing beside Xia Zhixing saw Xia Zhixing turn around and looked at Du Yue at the same time.

The young man quickly explained, “The three of them are tenants who live opposite you. They probably heard the noise in the yard and came out to take a look.”

Xia Zhixing nodded. “We’ll stay here. We want two rooms. I’ll pay you for tonight’s room first. If we’re staying here tomorrow as well, I’ll pay you then, okay?”

The young man smiled shyly. “Okay!” There were a total of eight people who came with Xia Zhixing.

Including Xia Zhixing, there were three women and six men. The three women were all very slender, and the brick bed in the room was not small. It was enough for the three of them to sleep on..
