Chapter 933: Chapter 927: Lun Yu Comes Looking

But how was he supposed to handle these matters? Not only did he fail to place the wood charcoal properly, but he also caused it to collapse all over the place.

The dark wood charcoal dirtied the light-yellow embroidered surface of Xiang Chun’s shoes, infuriating her to the point of cursing out loud.

"Which family’s charcoal delivery are you? How can you be so stupid? You can’t even place charcoal properly; you might as well quit this business."

Back then at Qi Mountain, it was this girl who chased him with a broom. Lun Yu’s mouth curved into a smile as an idea came to him, and he quickly said, "Oh dear, Miss, listen to you! We run a small business, barely making a living. If I don’t do this, I would starve. Let me wipe your shoes for you."

With his hands covered in black ash, he grabbed Xiang Chun’s shoes and vigorously wiped, only making them dirtier until their original color was unrecognizable.

Xiang Chun almost cried and shouted, "Get away! I don’t want you to wipe them, ah, let go of me..."

"Oh, my apologies, miss!" Lun Yu raised his hands.

But as he suddenly let go, Xiang Chun lost her balance and immediately fell backwards.

She fell into the pitch-black pile of wood charcoal, and not just her shoes, her light-yellow clothes couldn’t escape being stained. Her clothes and face were all smeared with dark charcoal ash.

This time Xiang Chun really cried and shouted, "You... you just wait."

She rushed out of the cellar to find Gu Youyou.

Xiang Chun looked terribly disheveled, especially since she was wearing light-yellow clothes today, which made the charcoal stains particularly noticeable.

"What in the world happened? Don’t rush to cry, explain yourself."

"Whimper, it was that charcoal delivery man; clumsy and inept. Miss, please talk to the manager, tell them not to pay the charcoal delivery man. He can’t do a simple task properly, he might as well not do it at all."

Gu Youyou felt she was being a bit harsh—the man was delivering wood charcoal in the dead of winter, earning his livelihood through hard work.

In such cold weather, perhaps his whole family was depending on this little bit of money, this girl.

"Did you detain that man?" Gu Youyou asked.

"Yes, I asked him to wait in the cellar."

Seeing Xiang Chun in her pitiful state, Gu Youyou held back her reprimands and said, "Go change your clothes first; I’ll go and see what happened."

She was very curious, how could one get covered in so much ash?

In the cellar, Lun Yu sat quietly on one side, and smiled when he saw a familiar face enter.

He knew Gu Youyou would come.

On seeing the charcoal delivery boy, Gu Youyou noted that although he appeared honest and simple, his eyes did not seem as naively honest as his appearance suggested; rather, they were shrewdly alert.

She looked at the chaotic ground, pointed at the wood charcoal, and said, "Is this how you deliver charcoal?"

It seemed Xiang Chun had not unjustly accused him; his attitude towards his work was unacceptable. Even if it was an accident initially, after all this time, he shouldn’t just sit idly by the wall, instead of promptly fixing the customer’s property.

Gu Youyou’s gaze became stern, not too pleasant.

Meanwhile, the young man’s expression also grew increasingly peculiar, staring at Gu Youyou with a half-smiling look that seemed somewhat familiar.

Suddenly, Gu Youyou felt that this was not the demeanor of a simple charcoal deliverer; her expression darkened further, and she slipped her hand into her sleeve.

If this fellow dared to try anything, she would stab him with a needle.

"Who are you?" Gu Youyou asked.
