Chapter 439: One Should Not Hit a Smiling Person

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Du Yue listened carefully. There seemed to be more than one baby crying in the noisy surroundings. Could it be that there were children in the rooms opposite them? Just as Du Yue was feeling puzzled, Xia Ju, who had been watching the commotion at the door, suddenly closed the door. This door was the simplest wooden door, and the lock on it was also the most ancient one. The door was not sturdy, and the lock was not of much use. It could only be said to be a consolation.

The sound of Xia Ju suddenly closing the door startled Du Yue and He Xing. Du Yue and He Xing looked at her in confusion. “What did you see?”

Xia Ju was not usually a person who would act in a fluster. Why would she suddenly slam the door? Under the dim yellow light, Xia Ju frowned slightly, looking a little annoyed. “The woman who lives opposite us is the one who keeps coming to look for you.”

Du Yue was stunned, but she quickly remembered who Xia Ju was talking about. “Xia Zhixing is living opposite us?”

Xia Ju nodded. “Yes, it’s her. She’s carrying a baby in her arms. Where did she get a baby?”

Du Yue was speechless.

What a strange way of thinking. Where could one get a baby? It must be their own child!

It had been more than three months since she last met Xia Zhixing. At that time, Xia Zhixing’s belly was already showing. Du Yue had concluded that she should be six or seven months pregnant. Therefore, Du Yue was not surprised that she had a child in her arms now that three months had passed. Du Yue was not interested in other people’s children. “Now that there are people living next door, it’s quieter to close the door.”

Xia Ju was not stupid. When she heard Du Yue change the topic, she knew that she did not want to talk about Xia Zhixing anymore, so she kept her mouth shut.

However, she pondered for a moment and finally could not help but say, “When 1 saw her just now, she saw me too.”

Du Yue’s expression did not change. They lived opposite each other. If Xia Ju had seen Xia Zhixing, Xia Zhixing would naturally notice Xia Ju. It was not strange. Maybe it was because Xia Zhixing saw Xia Ju at the door that she chose to stay in the opposite room. It was not that Du Yue was overthinking it, but Xia Zhixing had come looking for her several times before, so it was not strange that she would do this now. After closing the door, the noise was mostly isolated. Du Yue’s ears were a little quieter.

The noise lasted for about an hour and a half before it finally stopped. When the sounds stopped, Du Yue knew that the people who came must have found their rooms and settled down. When she first arrived, she thought that there were a lot of rooms here, but now it seemed that they were all full. There would only be more people living on the upper floor. Perhaps there would be one or more floors below. It seemed that the number of residents in the fourth base was not small.

Du Yue sighed softly. What did having more people mean? There would be a lot of trouble!

After the silence, the three of them felt hungry. Du Yue was just about to take her lunch out when she heard someone knocking on the door. A trace of surprise flashed across Xia Ju’s eyes. “Could it be that Xia Zhixing is here to look for you again?”

Du Yue’s eyes flickered. “We’ll know when we go and take a look.”

The color of Xia Ju’s pupils was too strange. If she was in close contact with someone, it would be easy for them to notice that something was wrong, so they definitely could not let her open the door.

Du Yue had just finished speaking and was about to get up to open the door when He Xing, who was beside her, stood up first. “Sit down. I’ll go and see who it is!”

Du Yue nodded and sat back on the stool obediently. However, her gaze followed He Xing to the door.

He Xing opened the door and saw that it was not Xia Zhixing but an aunt who looked to be in her 60s. The aunt’s face was full of wrinkles, and her eyes were slightly tired. However, when she saw He Xing for the first time, her eyes flashed with amazement. Du Yue secretly laughed. It seemed that this was another person who was shocked by He Xing’s beauty! However, the aunt quickly came back to her senses and said to He Xing with a smile, “Young man, you’re really good-looking!”

He Xing’s expression was indifferent, and so was his tone. “Is there anything I can help you with?”

The auntie obviously did not expect He Xing to be so cold. The smile on her face was a little hard to maintain. “You, why are you so ungrateful? I was praising you!”

He Xing’s eyes darkened. “Yes, I can tell. What do you want to say?”

As soon as He Xing finished speaking, the aunt’s expression became a little complicated. It was obvious that she did not expect He Xing to be such a stubborn block of wood.. As the old saying went, one should not hit a smiling person, so why was this person so heartless?
