Chapter 772: Chapter 757: Staying Overnight

“Well, okay, if there’s anything you need help with in the future, feel free to ask me. I’m always happy to help a beautiful lady out!”

Su Xuan said with a mischievous grin while Liu Ruobing gave him a big eye-roll. What could have been quite sentimental somehow became so unsentimental when it came out of his mouth.

By the time evening arrived, Su Xuan and Liu Ruobing had already reached the shores of Coast City. At this moment, it was already late, and they found themselves in a rather remote rural area surrounded by fishermen, Su Xuan remarked casually.

“It looks like we’ll have to find a local family to stay with for the night, this place seems a bit secluded, and at this hour, I guess there are no more buses!”

Liu Ruobing nodded and said,

“Well, okay, Su Xuan, let’s go to the village first and see if we can find someone to stay with for the night!”

Liu Ruobing said somewhat embarrassedly, aware that many people were looking at them, handsome and beautiful, which inevitably made people think they were a couple.

When Su Xuan led Liu Ruobing into the village, he was also filled with many emotions, as the village seemed very simple and rustic, which reminded him of his childhood life. Time flies, and things and people change, all one can say is that in this life, many things are fleeting and once gone, they never come back.

After entering the village, Su Xuan found a house, knocked on the door, and said with a smile,

“Uncle, we are husband and wife who accidentally fell into the water and were carried here by the waves. Could we possibly stay here for the night?”

Su Xuan said, and it must be said, he had quite the shameless streak, claiming they were married. Liu Ruobing felt rather embarrassed and gave Su Xuan a fierce glare while pinching him on the waist.

However, she understood that Su Xuan did so because it would make it easier for the villagers to allow them to stay overnight.

“Oh, that’s the case. Well, come on in right away. We’re just having dinner!”

The old man seemed quite hospitable and invited Su Xuan and Liu Ruobing into his house and even asked them to stay for dinner. Liu Ruobing felt a bit embarrassed, but Su Xuan, that cheeky fellow, didn’t seem embarrassed at all, acting as if he was right at home.

This family consisted of four members, a couple and their two children, both seven or eight years old; the boy was quite handsome, and the girl was very pretty. The dinner was lavish, and the children ate joyously, but Su Xuan noticed the mother’s furrowed brows and the tears swirling in her eyes as if she wanted to cry but was holding it back forcefully.

“Young man, don’t be shy. Eat as if you were at home!”

The man forced a smile, seemingly quite troubled, and Su Xuan noticed several cigarette butts on the ground near the door. He didn’t say anything but took Liu Ruobing to the dining table to eat. Liu Ruobing, a very sensitive girl, felt curious as it seemed this family might be facing some issues.

After the meal, Su Xuan naturally became friendly with the two children, giving them a gentle smile and hugging them. The children seemed to really like Su Xuan too and enjoyed chatting with him.

At that moment, Liu Ruobing looked at Su Xuan, feeling a faint sense of envy. She envied Su Xuan’s personality, his natural ease with people, without being pretentious or affected. Seeing him having fun with the children made her quite happy; this man genuinely seemed to be interesting.

“Big brother, in ‘Journey to the West,’ who do you like the most?”

Just then, the young boy asked innocently.

“Hmm, I like Zhu Bajie!”

Su Xuan said with a smile.

The two children giggled upon hearing Su Xuan liked Zhu Bajie, and the boy asked,

“Big brother, why do you like Zhu Bajie?”

“Well, because Zhu Bajie is always lucky. Look, among those who went to the Western Heaven to fetch the scriptures with Monk Tang, Zhu Bajie had the most comfortable life, slept a lot, ate a lot, even dared to flirt with beauties like Chang’e, and had a beautiful wife in Gao Village, shouldn’t we envy him?”

Su Xuan spoke nonchalantly while Liu Ruobing shot a disdainful glance at him and thought to herself, can’t you speak properly, especially in front of the children?

“Stone, who do you like then?”

Su Xuan asked with a smile, and Stone, looking at Su Xuan, suddenly showed a look of unwavering determination in his eyes, and said,

“I like Sun Wukong, because he is very powerful, he has the Seventy-two Transformations, can do anything, and all the demons fear him!”

As Stone finished speaking, his eyes reddened, while his mother hid to the side and started sobbing softly, and Stone’s sister jumped down from Su Xuan’s arms and went to her mother, gently holding her mother’s feet, and said,

“Mom, don’t cry, Ke isn’t afraid of the demons!”

In that moment, the young mother hugged her daughter tightly, somewhat becoming discomposed, and the man took a deep breath, looking up at the sky, helpless, truly helpless, while curiosity surged in Liu Ruobing’s heart. He had sensed that this family might be facing some troubles, but it wasn’t appropriate to probe too deeply into someone else’s family matters. However, seeing the little girl now, he felt they definitely had some issues.

Su Xuan stood up and casually said to Stone,

“Stone, how about big brother takes you to fight the demons?”

Su Xuan said with a smile, and Stone nodded vigorously, saying with determination,

“Yes, big brother, I will fight the demons with you!”

“Stone, you’re awesome. Let’s go, big brother will take you to fight the demons!”

As Su Xuan spoke, he was actually about to step out when the man quickly stopped him, looking very anxious,

“Young master, please don’t go out now. Not to hide it from you, but our village is somewhat strange. Please heed my advice!”

The middle-aged man hastily said, and Su Xuan smiled faintly, replying,

“Haha, elder brother, it’s okay, I’ll just take a look around, don’t worry!”

With that, Su Xuan just walked outside with Stone, and at that moment, there was not a single person on the streets of the entire village; every household had closed their doors and turned off the lights, even though it was just after six o’clock. Isn’t it a bit too early to be going to sleep?

“Come back, young man, come back quickly, it’s dangerous!”
