Fast-forward to the era of cannon fodder

"Did you remember the wrong date?" Bai Yuechen asked.

"I can't be wrong. I read the newspaper this morning. My sister was divorced, and her ex-husband's family put an advertisement in the newspaper. I...I went to buy a newspaper..."

Chu Meng struggled to get up, but because she was too frightened, her legs were too weak to stand. She climbed up several times, but fell to the ground again.

She threw herself into Bai Yuechen's arms in fear, sobbing, "There is a ghost, there must be a ghost, Bai Yuechen, I must have seen a ghost."

Except for a ghost, no one could send her back to Haidu from Liangxi in just half an hour.

Maybe it was because she had vented all her emotions, was tired of crying and scolding, or maybe it was because she was too scared and too nervous, it didn’t take long before Chu Meng fell asleep.

Just as the two were leaning against each other and sleeping soundly, suddenly, a group of reporters rushed into the abandoned yard, raised their cameras and took two photos of the two people.

"Ah... who are you, what are you doing, ah... stop filming, stop filming..."

The flash woke Chu Meng up. When she saw clearly that it was a group of reporters, she subconsciously covered her face and shouted anxiously, "Who asked you to come? Get out, get out quickly, don't take pictures of us..."

"Miss Chu Er, I'm a reporter from the South City Trivia News. May I ask if you and Young Master Bai are living together?"

"Excuse me, Miss Chu Er, are you married?"

"Miss Chu, are you having an affair without a matchmaker, or are you a married couple?"

"Second Miss Chu, a few days ago, Master Chu said that the matter between you and Young Master Bai was a misunderstanding and a rumor. Then, is it another misunderstanding that you and Young Master Bai are sleeping together now?"

Several reporters were interviewing her in a chattering manner. Chu Meng felt so ashamed that she wished a big black hole would appear on the ground for her to crawl into.

At this time, Bai Yuechen also woke up slowly.

When the reporter saw that he had opened his eyes, he started to ask him questions one after another, "Master Bai, have you and Miss Chu signed the marriage certificate?"

"Master Bai, I heard that you went abroad to study, but returned home before you graduated. Was it because of Miss Chu?"

"Master Bai, you are homeless now. Would you like to marry into the Chu family and become their son-in-law?"

"Master Bai, are you married to Miss Chu Er?"

……

The noisy commotion of the reporters attracted many residents living nearby. They all gathered around and looked at Bai Yuechen and Chu Meng in shock.

"Oh my, this house has been abandoned for more than ten years. When did a young couple move in?"

"Isn't that man the beggar who has been begging at the entrance of the alley these days?"

"Oh, isn't it him? Tsk, tsk, tsk, I didn't expect that this little beggar would marry such a delicate little wife."

"Bah... what young wife? Look at what that woman is wearing. She is obviously a daughter of a wealthy family. How can a poor beggar marry her?"

"That group of people called that beggar Young Master Bai. Looking at his delicate skin and tender flesh, he must be the young master of a wealthy family that has fallen on hard times."

“Tsk tsk tsk, I didn’t expect that two young masters and young ladies would live in an abandoned house in our slum.”

"This is a haunted house. It would be strange if you can live here for long."

"Shh, don't let anyone hear it. These two kids are young and will be scared if they know."

"If you are afraid, then be afraid. What does it have to do with us?"

……

A group of aunties and grandmas wearing old patched clothes stared at Chu Meng and Bai Yuechen, pointing and talking.

There were also a few gangsters who stared at Chu Meng, looking at her with ill intentions.
