Chapter 167: The Past Is the Past (1)
Translator: Guy Gone Bad
“Recently I always recalled things when I was little.” Zheng Xuan looked at Mo Yi affectionately.
Mo Yi cast a glance at Zheng Xuan and asked flatly, “What did you recall?”
“When I was a child, once, I was bitten by bloodthirsty ants, if the ants poison spread throughout the body, there was no way to save me. You were very calm at that time, and removed all the poisoned flesh on my body cleanly. Impressive!” smiled Zheng Xuan.
Mo Yi raised his eyes, giving Zheng Xuan an evil smile, “I just lost my human sense due to extreme hunger at the time. Seeing that you got poisoned anyway, I thought after you died, I could have had a taste of human flesh. It’s said human flesh doesn’t taste good. But who cares at the time? As long as I could stuff my belly.”
Noticing Zheng Xuan’s shocking face, Mo Yi smiled complacently and continued, “The flesh poluted by the ants’ poion is uneatable. If leaving it there, those flesh in other parts of your body was also uneatable. You know, we were so short of food. We can’t waste anything.”
“So I just used a knife to cut all of the poisoned flesh. I thought you’d die due to the huge pains. But you made it through. I was kind of disappointed at that time. If you survived, it meant I had to stay hungry. I even had a spur to kill you with the knife.” After finis.h.i.+ng those words, Mo Yi heaved a long sigh.
Zheng Xuan popped his eyes out and looked at Mo Yi surprisingly.
Mo Yi put on a bright smile, played with his own fingers and suddenly sat on the chair, “What else? Tell me. I am listening.”
Zheng Xuan then said awakwardly, “Once, you hadn’t had anything for a whole day. Finally you caught a chicken. But I was too hungry and ate the whole piece, which made you super p.i.s.sed off and pushed me into the river. But seeing that I got chased by the star beast in the river, you hurriedly pulled me out.”
Zheng Xuan continued mildly, “At that time, a star dog came which nearly scared you to death. But you still didn’t ditch me and ran away yourself.”
Mo Yi looked at Zheng Xuan calmly, saying with a pitiful tone, “At that time, the star dog came, I was afraid, I thought, I must pull you up, because the stardog owned fire attributes, the same as you. So you would be more attractive to it.”
“That star dog is not big. After eating you, it might have no appet.i.te for me. Then I could survive. I have to say you were really lucky to have escaped.”
Zheng Xuan looked at Mo Yi, frowning.
Mo Yi looked at Zheng Xuan, raised his eyebrows and said with a mocking tone, “Now you know everything! I’m not like what you thought of me. I’ve been bad since I was a child. I’ve been plotting against you all the time, you idiot.”
郑煊抿着唇，半晌才开口道：“那只星犬是水系的。”
Zheng Xuan pursed his lips and opened his mouth after quite some time, “That star dog is water attributes.”
Mo Yi said grumpily, “You made a mistake.”
Zheng Xuan clenched his fists, “Anyhow, I still love you.”
Mo Yi looked at Zheng Xuan’s face and said crossly, “Then you went to risk your neck since you love me? If you really died, won’t your family kill me as your funeraries? You still wouldn’t let me go after you die! You just wouldn’t give me a break!”
“It’s not like what you thought! I never meant that!” Zheng Xuan grabbed Mo Yi’s hand and said urgently.
Mo Yi looked at Zheng Xuan, “It’s not like that? Then what is it like?”
Zheng Xuan looked at Mo Yi, face turning paler, “it is my fault, since I didn’t think of this. But my grandpa isn’t an unreasonable person. Even if I die…”
Mo Yi stared at Zheng Xuan for a while and said, “Zheng Xuan, you are not young now, right?”
“I just had my birthday a few days ago. I’m eighteen now.” Zheng Xuan muttered to himself, “I can even get married.”
Mo Yi looked at Zheng Xuan, speechless. He didn’t expect this guy would change the topic to getting married, “Since you are already an adult, you should consider the result more when you do things.”
Zheng Xuan nodded obediently, “In the future I will try to learn to be more thoughtful.”
“I gotta go.” said Mo Yi, deadpanned.
Zheng Xuan was a bit disappointed, “But you just came. Can’t you stay with me a bit longer?”
“Tomorrow I’m gonna be the young master’s dancing partner. I need to sleep early.” said Mo Yi flatly.
Zheng Xuan looked at Mo Yi blankly, saying with a low voice, “All right then.”
Mo Yi looked at Zheng Xuan, “You should take some sleep.”
Zheng Xuan couldn’t help stretching out to pull Mo Yi’s hand. Mo Yi closed his eyes, brushed off Zheng Xuan’s hands and left.
Zheng Xuan could only watch Mo Yi jump out of the window and disappear in the dark.
Then Zheng Xuan stared at the ceiling, feeling sour in the eyes.
Zheng Hong opened the door and looked at Zheng Xuan who was lying in bed.
“Since he has come, you should go to sleep now.” Zheng Hong looked at Zheng Xuan bitterly.
Zheng Xuan looked at his grandpa and said with a surprising tone, “Grandpa, you knew that Yiyi…he…”
“If I hadn’t shut down the defense system, do you think he could come in?” said Zheng Hong coldly.
Zheng Xuan got dumbfounded and then said earnestly, “Thank you, grandpa.”
