Longevity, starting from traveling and telling stories

Chapter 51: It's a Rainy Night
A good while.

He dragged his heavy body and slowly pushed open the creaking gate. As soon as he stepped into the yard, the landlord came to greet him with a smile on his face.

"Sir, I'm so sorry!" the landlord said apologetically. "My elderly family member is in poor health and urgently needs this house. Please find another place. I'm willing to refund the remaining rent double."

Ye Beixuan laughed bitterly at this. It was indeed a case of "misfortunes never come singly." The ship was late and encountered a headwind. He was being evicted by the landlord again!

He is so smart that he is willing to refund double the rent. It can be seen that he has really become a rat crossing the street now.

His eyes swept over the furnishings in the room, he raised his head slightly, and slowly said, "Well, in that case, please return the rent so I can find another place."

"Come to my house!" Qin Ruoxi suddenly jumped out. She had just followed here and suddenly heard that the landlord had driven Mr. Ye away. She was immediately ecstatic. Now you can't run away, right?

Ye Beixuan was stunned. Why was she everywhere? But it wasn't impossible to go to her inn right now. He had nowhere else to go anyway. The worst that could happen was that he could just pick up his old trade and start storytelling in the inn from scratch! His own strengths.

"In that case, thank you very much, Miss Qin. I still need to find a carriage to move the things."

"No need, sir, just tell me and Ruoxi will take care of everything for you." Qin Ruoxi patted her chest, which was like a mountain rising and falling with the tide.

So good? Ye Beixuan was stunned. This was a one-stop service for him! Such a rich man was almost slandered and beheaded. It was indeed the strict hierarchy of scholars, farmers, merchants and artisans.

"In that case, thank you very much, Miss Qin." Then he walked into the room, picked up a basin with a goldfish in it, and said, "Please lead the way, Miss."

They can't be allowed to move this goldfish, or they might accidentally kill it.

Seeing that he agreed, Qin Ruoxi said happily, "Sir, please come this way."

After saying that, she skipped ahead and led the way, with Ye Beixuan following closely behind. However, the two of them didn't know that a giant turtle was watching them in the dark.

Soon, they arrived at the backyard of Yuelai Inn.

There was only a small room standing quietly before my eyes.

When I pushed open the door, although the house was empty, there was not a trace of musty smell. Instead, there was a fresh and natural smell. It was obvious that someone cleaned the house regularly.

Qin Ruoxi smiled and immediately called the servants waiting beside her. She ordered in a clear and pleasant voice, "Go hire a carriage and move all of Mr. Ye's belongings here."

"Yes." After receiving the order, the servant left without any delay.

Not long after, the rumbling of the carriage sounded, and all of Ye Beixuan's belongings were pulled over. In fact, there were not many things, and the important ones were placed in the amber pendant.

Qin Ruoxi's expression immediately changed. She no longer looked delicate and coquettish. Her expression became sharp and her eyes were like swords. She personally took command.

"Throw these away and replace them all with new ones." Whenever she saw anything even slightly worn out, she would replace it with a new one.

Then she walked quickly into the room, pointing and gesturing, arranging the placement of each item, from the bed to the tables and chairs, all carefully arranged according to her ideas.

It seemed as if this small room would become a romantic house for her and Mr. Ye. She poured her tenderness into every detail and constructed her inner fantasy.

Ye Beixuan didn't care. He was a man after all! As long as it was clean, tidy, decent and comfortable, it was fine. As long as it wasn't a doghouse, it was fine.

After a while of fussing, they finally finished arranging all the items. Qin Ruoxi looked around and made sure there were no mistakes. Then she nodded with satisfaction. "Are you satisfied, sir?"

Seeing that his room had been made like a bridal chamber, Ye Beixuan said uncomfortably, "Mr. Ye, thank you Miss Qin."

This girl wouldn't really like my bearded man, would she?

"As long as you are satisfied." Qin Ruoxi said happily: "If Mr. is bored, Ruoxi can bring the students into the courtyard in the evening and let Mr. tell them stories."

Hmm? If this works, then I can finish Zhu Bajie. Otherwise, I'll really be a deadbeat.

"In that case, thank you very much, Miss Qin. I have no way to repay your kindness, so I can only..."

"Promise yourself?"

"I can only repay the girl by working like a slave in my next life."

"Oh, oh, oh! That's not what the storybook says!" Qin Ruoxi said with her beautiful eyes shining as bright as stars.

"Oh? What does the storybook say?" Ye Beixuan asked puzzledly.

Qin Ruoxi raised her eyebrows slightly, holding her chin with both hands and said, "The storybook says that if you are beautiful, you will marry her with your body, and if you are ugly, you will be rewarded by working like a cow or a horse in the next life. Are you saying that I am ugly, sir?"

"." What kind of nonsense is this? Ye Beixuan was stunned. It seemed that there was indeed such a saying in the storybook, and she remembered it clearly.

"A storybook is just a storybook, it's not true. Miss Qin shouldn't believe what it says." Ye Beixuan responded in a flat tone.

"But I think there's some truth to this!" Qin Ruoxi turned her head and stared at Ye Beixuan, then asked a soul-searching question: "Am I really ugly?"

"." How should I answer this? Ye Beixuan looked at her expectant eyes and her youthful and lovely face, so he had to tell the truth: "No, you are beautiful."

Qin Ruoxi immediately blushed. She was already beautiful and charming, and now being praised by her lover made her extremely nervous. Her slender fingers unconsciously touched the ends of her hair to hide her panic. Her dark eyebrows were smiling, and her pink lips were slightly pursed, which made her look even more cute and lovely.

Just as she was about to speak to further develop their relationship, a servant ran in in a panic, making her look annoyed.

"Miss, it's bad. The master is coming here with a group of people, looking very aggressive and armed with weapons."

"What? My dad is here? What is he here for?" She immediately shifted her gaze to Ye Beixuan and immediately understood what was going on.

So she said, "You go down first!"

Ye Beixuan sighed helplessly when he heard this! It was obvious that Qin Ruoxi's father was looking for him. No one would welcome a rapist anywhere. Even if he was just a suspect, he would be like a rat crossing the street, and everyone would shout and beat him.

"If it doesn't work, Ye will leave first!" He didn't want to make things difficult for Qin Ruoxi, and he couldn't let a rift between them as father and daughter arise because of him.

Qin Ruoxi was about to explain when she heard a flurry of footsteps. She saw Qin Wenjie standing at the backyard door with a group of people, holding weapons.

"You damn girl, why don't you get out of here quickly."
