Chapter 191: Chapter 34_5

But now, he is normal.

Begging for mercy seems to have lost its efficacy now, as the girl who usually listened to him most, now, seemed to ignore him.

Her eyelashes were trembling; her body was shivering; the gloss in her eyes had disappeared, replaced by numbness.

A dangerous aura was emanating from her.

Previously, whenever she was about to lash out, the boy only needed to hold her hand to calm her down, but now, it was the boy’s hand that was intensifying her rage.

Li Zhiyuan withdrew his hand from the girl.

The girl’s body gradually returned to calm, her eyelashes stopped fluttering, and her eyelids drooped.

She turned and walked towards the staircase.

The cloak that had been draped over the two of them fell, and Li Zhiyuan picked it up, wanting to wrap it around the girl.

But as he approached again, the girl stopped moving, and her back began to tremble.

Li Zhiyuan had to stop, and even took a few steps back.

The girl went back to normal and continued walking forward, her figure disappearing into the staircase.

Soon, the girl appeared on the dam, the door of the east room was not closed, and she walked in.

Li Zhiyuan stood on the second floor, still holding the red cloak in his hand.

In the past, the girl always liked to collect everything related to them; now, not only did she reject contact with him, she also rejected anything that had been contaminated by him.

Li Zhiyuan lowered his head, looking at the bloody cuts in the palm of his hand, still bleeding.

He was in pain, but he wasn’t angry, instead, he felt very guilty.

His left hand wiped away the blood, exposing the burn mark in the central area.

He knew why the girl suddenly became angry.

Because she found out that the person she had hoped would help her climb out of the abyss was actually walking towards the abyss himself.

The greatest torture in this world is to give you hope in the midst of despair, and then personally snuff out that hope.

She had already gotten used to it.

Li Zhiyuan washed his wound, quickly bandaged it with a clean piece of cloth, and then returned to his bedroom.

He lay on the bed, not sure if it was really the onset of sleepiness or if his subconscious was yearning for daylight after a sleep, hoping everything would be restored.

Anyway, he fell asleep.

His sleep was light; many times, he woke up from short periods of sleep due to inexplicable palpitations, but he didn’t open his eyes, forcing himself to keep sleeping.

Finally, after countless times, through his eyelids, he felt the clear presence of light.

It was dawn.

He turned his head, opened his eyes, and there was no one on the chair by the door.

Li Zhiyuan, holding a washbasin, walked out of the bedroom, and as he passed the Grandmaster’s room, he saw through the screen door that Grandmaster was not in bed.

After washing up and going downstairs, he didn’t see Run Sheng at the table on the first floor either.

He hadn’t slept too late himself; why had everyone gotten up so early?

Li Zhiyuan walked up to the dam, and Aunt Liu came out of the kitchen: "Xiao Yuan, good morning. We will have breakfast soon."

"Aunt Liu, where is my Grandmaster?"

"The village head came over early in the morning while it was still dark, calling your Grandmaster to the town government office, saying there was an urgent matter, and Run Sheng took your Grandmaster there."

Li Zhiyuan nodded, then his gaze turned towards the east room.

Behind the threshold of the east room, the girl in a black dress was sitting there, her feet on the threshold, her gaze level, devoid of any emotion.

"Xiao Yuan, Xiao Yuan, you come over quickly."

This morning, the granddaughter didn’t get up early as usual, so she sensed something was wrong.

After she got up and dressed, she actually picked up a stool and sat behind the threshold.

Suddenly, Liu Yumei felt as if the sky had fallen!

Now, all her hopes were pinned on the boy.

Li Zhiyuan approached the east room, and as he got closer, the girl’s body began to tremble, and her hands unconsciously clenched slowly, with redness appearing in the depths of her eyes.

Liu Yumei immediately stretched out her hand to stop Li Zhiyuan from coming closer, moved forward, squatted beside her granddaughter, and kept whispering to comfort her.

The granddaughter’s reaction was even more intense than when strangers approached her before.

Li Zhiyuan backed off a distance, and upon seeing the girl calming down under Grandma Liu’s comforting, he bit his lip and took a deep breath.

Yes, just as he thought before he went to sleep.

After a sleep,

everything was restored.

...

"What? Tell me again, I didn’t catch that!"

Li Sanjiang was sitting in the civil affairs bureau office, slamming the table. He actually heard everything clearly, but he couldn’t believe it.

The director of the civil affairs bureau and several staff members could only patiently explain to him again, even though this was already the fourth time.

They too had received a notice from their superiors that a matter needed to be expedited urgently, so they had come to the office early.

Actually, when they saw the faxed document, they also felt utterly baffled.

In this day and age, there’s still such a practice?

"Grandpa, your name is Li Sanjiang, right?"

"I brought my ID and household register. Isn’t that right?"

"Yes, yes, yes, actually, everything is quite clear now. It’s up to you whether you are willing to sign or not. If you are not willing, we will send these documents back."

Li Sanjiang somewhat blankly picked up the pen,

and asked:

"Is it that if I sign here, Little Yuanhou will be added to my household?"
