Help! My pet supervillain has three personalities!

The two slipped back to West Street. Tang Yue took the time to put most of the gold in the box into her spatial storage, leaving about a thousand taels of gold, before entering the carpenter's shop.

It wasn't that she was stingy; a thousand taels of gold was really a lot. For an ordinary family, it would be enough to live on for several lifetimes.

Besides, carpentry shops are making a lot of money these days. When Li Yang settled accounts at the end of the month, he saved everything except for wages and daily expenses.

When they arrived at the carpenter's shop, Tang Yue gave the gold to Li Yang and then told them to go home for dinner that night before leaving.

When they got home, Zhao Wu was still there, and he opened the door for them.

Tang Yue looked at the slightly burly, dark-skinned boy in front of her and felt a surge of anger.

She walked past him and went back to her own room.

Zhao Wu: "..."

Why are you so angry now? You haven't calmed down yet!

He didn't strike up a conversation with her until after dinner that evening.

Tang Yue sat on the roof, still looking like the same dark-skinned boy he always was outside, with Zhao Wu sitting next to him.

Tang Yue couldn't stand seeing him looking so constipated, as if he wanted to say something but couldn't.

"Speak your mind, get to the point, and if you're constipated, go eat some croton oil!"

Zhao Wu: "..."

That's incredibly sarcastic!

He licked his teeth, wanting to retort, but held back: "I didn't mean to not recognize you, don't be angry."

"Hmph, you don't even know why I'm angry, and you're telling me not to be angry? Zhao Wu, how come you, with your thick eyebrows and big eyes, are so clueless about reading people's expressions?"

Zhao Wu was stunned. She wasn't angry about that. What was she angry about?

Seeing his bewildered expression, Tang Yue knew that he still didn't know the real reason why she was angry.

"You better think it over carefully, or you'll be sitting on the roof enjoying the breeze all day, and you're not allowed to use the outhouse."

He scratched his head and mumbled a "hmm" in a low voice.

Tang Yue waited for him to come up with an idea, and then she would let him go.

However, ten minutes passed...

Half an hour passed...

As the hour drew to a close, Tang Yue finally couldn't hold back any longer.

"...No, it's been so long, haven't you thought of it yet?"

Zhao Wu nodded blankly, "I didn't expect that."

He thought about it carefully, but he really couldn't come up with anything.

When Tang Yue heard this, she felt like she was about to fall off the roof. Good heavens, with such a small head, how did he even get back here?

She pinched Zhao Wu hard in annoyance before saying indignantly, "Believe...believe!"

"Why did you stop writing back? Do you know how worried Grandma was about you? If it weren't for me..."

If she hadn't hired someone to deliver fake letters to Grandma Zhao, Grandma Zhao would have been worried to death. It's also fortunate that Grandma Zhao is illiterate and always needs her help to read them aloud; otherwise, with her terrible handwriting, Grandma Zhao would have discovered it long ago.

"If it weren't for you, what would you have done?"

"If it weren't for me, the little ray of sunshine, keeping Grandma happy, would she be in such good health? Don't change the subject, why didn't you write a letter after we met?"

"I'm busy, it's not that I'm not writing on purpose."

"As you know, we went to the border to fight, not to play. At the beginning, we were still green recruits and didn't have to go to the battlefield. Later, we had to go out to fight almost every day, and sometimes we had to go to the surrounding villages to clean up the remaining enemy forces. I also wanted to try to earn some military merits, so I naturally had to put in more effort than others. Therefore, I hardly had time to write letters until we were about to return in triumph. I only had some free time then. But since I was about to come back, I thought I would give you a surprise when I returned, so I didn't write to let you know I was safe."
