Chapter 115 Promise yourself
Chapter 115 Promise yourself
Cheng Jinchu walked up to Dazhuang with a hammer and lifted his chin with the hammer.
"What's wrong? Why are you kneeling down? Are you going to give me a hard time?"
Da Zhuang suddenly thought, maybe this is not a girl at all?
She looked short, thin and weak, but she didn't expect that in the blink of an eye, his group of brothers were lying on the ground wailing.
Cheng Jinchu felt very uncomfortable being beaten by him, so he had to remind himself to control his strength. Otherwise, they would not have the chance to wail and would have just lay flat.
"Lady, spare my life!"
Da Zhuang immediately started kowtowed to Cheng Jinchu. Cheng Jinchu moved aside. She didn't like people kowtow to her. Of course, if it was someone she wanted to get rid of, she would not only accept it, but also would not let him go.
"Can you tell me now who is going to deal with that young master?"
Da Zhuang was nodding his head, and when he heard Cheng Jinchu's question, he raised his head.
"Girl, I don't know his name. A brother introduced him to me. He gave me fifty taels of silver as a deposit and promised to give me another fifty taels if the job was done, so that I could cripple this young man's legs.
I inquired before I came here. Although this young man is the nephew of Minister Shen, Minister Shen was previously the son-in-law of the Mo family, so he might have some face. But now, Minister Sun will definitely not care about his nephew.
Cheng Jinchu nodded.
"Can you find out who gave the money?"
Da Zhuang nodded quickly.
"Yes, yes, yes! He said that after I finish this task, I should ask my brother to find him and he will give me the remaining fifty taels. I will then go find that brother and ask him to come over."
"Well, kneel down beside me! Oh, turn your backs to me. And you, if you dare to howl again, I will make you unable to howl. You will never get better. Come on, try it. Kneel down beside me with your backs to me!"
Those people were rolling and howling on the ground, but when they heard what this aunt said, they covered their mouths, cried, and shrank to the side and knelt with their backs to this aunt.
"Sir, you don't need to thank me. I do good things without leaving a name!"
Cheng Jinchu walked up to Bai Mingyao without any manner, imitating the little gangster's steps, and patted his shoulder. However, he was tall, so it looked a little strange for her to pat his shoulder.
There was a smile in Bai Mingyao's eyes.
"Okay! I understand. I won't leave my name...cousin!"
Cheng Jinchu immediately touched his face. Wasn't the scarf still there? How could it be different from the novel? She had covered her face, so how could he know who she belonged to?
Cheng Jinchu turned around and covered his face with his hands.
"You're mistaken. I'm not your cousin."
Well, not a cousin, of course not, she is his future wife, cousin? Bai Mingyao didn't like this identity either. Anyway, Cheng Jinchu had her back to him and couldn't see him. He nodded heavily, but he couldn't say it like that.
"Well...if you say it's not, then it's not, cousin!"
Cheng Jinchu: …
Cheng Jinchu took a deep breath, tore off the scarf covering her face, and pouted.
“How did you find out it was mine?”
Bai Mingyao reached out and touched Cheng Jinchu's head. He had wanted to do this for a long time, but the expression on his face looked very serious.
"Well! Maybe it's the eyes. My cousin has a pair of very beautiful eyes. Besides, the dress you are wearing was chosen by my younger sister last time I went out. You are not wearing a mask, so even if you cover yourself like that, people who are familiar with you can still see it."
Besides, I’m not someone who knows you well, Bai Mingyao added in his heart.
"Well, since I saved you, you have to repay me, um..."
"Promise yourself to me!"
“I can’t tell anyone…”
The first sentence was blurted out by Bai Mingyao, and the second sentence was what Cheng Jinchu had not finished saying after hearing Bai Mingyao's words.
Bai Mingyao didn't regret what he said without thinking, because it was what was in his heart. However, after he said it, he felt a little scared. He remembered the way Chu Chu cried that year, and he felt so heartbroken. He observed Cheng Jinchu carefully, afraid that he would scare the little girl to tears again.
"Ahem...! Um, I... I, it's just that, doesn't the storybook always say that if someone saves your life, you should repay them with your own body!"
Bai Mingyao lowered his head, not daring to look at Cheng Jinchu. He wanted to slap himself to death. What was he talking about? Chuchu might think he was a pervert.
It's over, it's over...
This image is completely gone, ah! Bai Mingyao screamed in his heart, can time be turned back to before he said that sentence, he must cover his mouth tightly, he felt very desperate, he scared the little girl again.
Cheng Jinchu was really scared. Is the cousin in her memory the same cousin who said this now?
Isn’t he a pedantic bookish person?
Because of Bai Mingyao's image, every time Cheng Jinchu was in front of him, she was afraid that she had gone too far and scared others, thinking that she was a female hooligan. How could she answer this question now?
"Well, I heard, I heard that saying, but, shouldn't it be the girl's, the line, uh... the girl's words?"
Cheng Jinchu didn't dare to look at Bai Mingyao. In this situation, how should she respond? She hadn't thought about this embarrassing situation. What should she do? What should she do?
"Well! In most cases, it should be what the girl said to the boy."
"most?"
Bai Mingyao took a deep breath. What could he do now? Forget it. The words had already been spoken.
The only thing he was afraid of now was destroying his image in Chu Chu's heart. If he became a scoundrel in Chu Chu's heart, where would he go to cry?
"Ahem, most of them, that is, that is, ah... My cousin, you have read too few books. In fact, in this kind of plot, it doesn't matter whether it is the boy or the girl who said this, the main thing is who is the one who saves the person.
This, this, about this chivalrous man who saved people, he is not just a man! The person who was saved should also give himself to him. "
Having said that, Bai Mingyao felt that what he said was right and nodded to confirm his statement.
His Chu Chu just appeared like a fairy and saved him, he must repay her, well... he must repay her.
Cheng Jinchu: Haven’t you read enough storybooks?
"I thought my cousin didn't read those storybooks!"
Bai Mingyao was stunned. Hiss~ What should he say at this time? If he answered, would Chu Chu think that he was a person who wasted his time on pleasure?
There are so many serious books to read, but the girl goes to read storybooks. Just now he said that he didn't read enough storybooks. Oh, he really spoke too quickly and got into so much trouble. His image is in big trouble again!
“Alas~”
Bai Mingyao sighed heavily. Cheng Jinchu looked at Bai Mingyao in confusion. Bai Mingyao pretended to be sad.
In fact, he focused on repeating the scene of Chu Chu crying in his mind several times, and then he was really sad. Cheng Jinchu looked at Bai Mingyao's expression and for a moment he felt that he might have said something wrong and felt a little guilty.
"Cousin, my family is not as good as the Shen family, I haven't told you about my family, right?
My father was just a poor scholar. He was the second child in the family and the one my grandmother disliked the most.
All the money in the family had to be handed over to my grandmother for management. She always had to give subsidies to my uncle's family and my eldest uncle. We mostly lived on the money that my grandmother sent to my mother.
My family mainly relied on my father and I to copy books, but the money came in very slowly.
My younger sister told me that some ladies from wealthy families really liked to read those storybooks. She once went to help out in a wealthy family, but it wasn't the kind where she had to sign a contract to sell herself. The lady in that family was very nice and liked my younger sister very much. I took the storybooks that she showed to my younger sister and read them. Later, the things she wrote could barely be sold for some money.
I only told you. If my classmates knew that I wrote a storybook, they would definitely laugh at me. Cousin, please keep it a secret for me, okay?
Cheng Jinchu looked at Bai Mingyao with heartache, the feeling of guilt reached its peak. The other person was already in such a difficult situation, why was she like this and made him think of bad things.
Bai Mingyao looked sad with his head down, in fact, he had never even read the storybooks, let alone watched a few excerpts.
I don’t know if Chuchu will ignore him after she finds out. I can’t let him say something like that when Chuchu is still unfamiliar with him and annoy her. Then there will be no future…
What should he do? His parents would be so angry that they would come into his sleep and beat him. And he also lost the wife that they had arranged for him with great difficulty.
He really didn't mean to lie to Chu Chu. He just felt very uncomfortable because he couldn't even restore his true identity.
Restoring his identity means danger. He is not worried about himself, but this matter is not just about him. He doesn't care about himself, but he cannot harm other people, nor can he let the efforts of so many people be ruined by himself.
