Chapter 219 The Slums You Can't Escape (1)
Cats have short lifespans, so short that Yanting cherishes every minute and second she spends with Chen Xiao.
In the end, Chen Xiao never recalled his memories until his death. The Heavenly Dao said that his memories had been erased, and he was not allowed to live in this world, but he could not be erased either, so he could only suffer the most painful life.
In the original storyline, the tabby cat was tortured to death by the cat abuser.
Yanting was relieved that her arrival changed the inevitable fate of the tabby cat.
Regardless, she sincerely hopes that the two cats will be happy forever on Cat Planet.
……
"Damn it, you brat, are you tired of living?"
The blond-haired man looked at the skinny boy in front of him and said with a nasty expression, "Someone like you doesn't even deserve to compete with me."
The boy hung his head, his arms and legs stained with bright red, making him look like a weak and pitiful kitten.
However, when he suddenly looks up at you, you can't help but be startled by his beautiful yet deep and unfathomable eyes.
For example, the blond-haired man and the thugs behind him.
The blond-haired man, somewhat embarrassed and angry, said, "Looks like you won't shed a tear until you see the coffin."
"Beat them up, and I'll cover for you if you cripple them."
Chen Xiao's eyes were deep as he looked at the approaching group of people. Just as he was about to gather his strength, the men were suddenly kicked away one after another by an invisible force.
The blond-haired man cried out in terror, "A ghost...a ghost!"
The next moment, he took off running.
Watching the blond-haired man leave, Yan Ting clapped his hands: "You gotta run fast."
The man who bullied her is practically asking for it.
Chen Xiao pursed his lips: "..."
He didn't say a word. He wasn't afraid or surprised by what had just happened. He just calmly stood up, leaning against the wall.
Yan Ting looked at the exceptionally thin boy, a hint of heartache flashing in her eyes.
She quickly stepped forward to help the other person up.
Chen Xiao paused slightly after realizing that his body was being supported by that thing.
However, he did not stop this thing from radiating maternal love.
For him, ghosts and gods were easier to accept than humans.
Even if this ghost wants to eat him.
It doesn't matter to him.
Little did they know that Yanting was somewhat troubled.
Who would have thought that in her second time travel, she would become a ghost?
She wasn't sure if it was a ghost.
But when she tried to talk to Chen Xiao, she found that he couldn't hear her.
However, there is one thing to be thankful for: she was able to reach Chen Xiao.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have kicked those thugs away.
Not long ago, Yan Ting opened her eyes and immediately spotted the boy covered in injuries.
Even though she hadn't seen his face yet, she recognized him immediately as Chen Xiao.
She was furious when she saw Chen Xiao being bullied.
Just go up there and kick them away.
Amazingly, after becoming a ghost, her strength returned.
Yan Ting silently followed behind Chen Xiao.
Then she saw the boy walk into a messy, impoverished neighborhood.
The buildings here are very dilapidated, the power lines on the utility poles are tangled like a spider web, and there is garbage everywhere and an unpleasant smell.
Yan Ting remained silent for a while.
To be honest, this world is indeed very different from her world.
Slums are very common in this world.
Although Chen Xiao couldn't see the guy, he inexplicably felt that she had come back with him.
He frowned slightly.
Why did you come back with him?
What do you want from him?
Chen Xiao thought about it for a moment and then stopped thinking about it.
Forget it.
He himself is disgusted with his appearance.
The boy lived in a very small bungalow. He pushed open the door and went inside.
Yan Ting naturally followed along—or rather, floated in.
But when Yanting saw the scene inside, he was stunned.
The house was in a dilapidated state, with tables and chairs made of wood. Although it was quite clean, Yanting still felt uncomfortable.
The thought that Chen Xiao, a man of noble birth, actually lived in such a place made her feel suffocated.
It shouldn't be like this.
Her beloved should live in the most luxurious place and enjoy the best life, instead of living here numb and indifferent.
Yes, Yanting could tell that Chen Xiao had gotten used to this kind of life.
She could see not a trace of arrogance or recklessness in the boy, only gloom, self-loathing, and decadence.
It was like a stagnant pool of water, completely still.
The first thing Chen Xiao did upon returning home was to treat his wounds.
Perhaps it was a matter of practice making perfect; he applied the medicine and bandaged the wound with great skill.
Yan Ting couldn't help but frown as she looked at it.
She floated over to him and gently re-bandaged him.
Chen Xiao's eyelashes trembled slightly.
He assumed the other person would have left long ago after seeing that he lived in such a place.
I didn't expect her to have been there all along.
why?
Thinking this, Chen Xiao couldn't help but murmur aloud.
Yanting happened to overhear this.
Yan Ting thought for a moment, then began to gesture in Chen Xiao's palm—
"I came only for you."
Fearing the other person might be intimidated by her presence, Yanting quickly added—
"Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you."
Chen Xiao didn't know if he had received a letter, but he couldn't deny that he was touched by the other party's words, "I came only for you."
After thinking for a moment, he asked softly, "What are you?"
Is it a ghost? Or a god?
But the answer he received was—
"I am your lover."
Chen Xiao's pupils trembled slightly.
He instinctively withdrew his hand.
At the same time, his pale cheeks faintly flushed.
Yan Ting stared at Chen Xiao as if he had discovered a new continent.
Ah! So cute!
This is Chen Xiao in his youth.
She couldn't help but think of that spirited young man from the past.
Chen Xiao felt that the ghost might be teasing him.
But for some reason, his heart was beating very fast.
Yanting naturally moved into the house.
She can stay wherever she wants in the place where her lover is.
Although Chen Xiao didn't say it, he tacitly acknowledged her existence.
Through her observations over the past few days, Yanting discovered that Chen Xiao lived here alone.
He has no parents, no relatives, and no friends.
At the age of teens, Chen Xiao should be in school, but he didn't go to school. Instead, he worked part-time every day to earn money.
Yan Ting felt something was off.
Logically speaking, even though Chen Xiao doesn't go to school, he is very intelligent, so why can he only do ordinary part-time jobs?
Based on her understanding of Chen Xiao, it would be an easy thing for him to completely escape the slums.
However, the reality is that Chen Xiao has been staying in the slums as if he sees no hope.
In an instant, Yan Ting thought of that guy who impersonated the Heavenly Dao.
It's probably their doing again.
Chen Xiao was a well-known figure in the slums.
There are two reasons: one is his outstanding appearance, and the other is his reckless personality.
It's not that no one has their eyes on Chen Xiao, but this kid is a tough nut to crack.
Over time, no one dared to provoke him.
What's even stranger is that this kid always manages to survive a crisis.
There's a saying that goes, "Those who survive a great calamity are sure to have good fortune in the future."
But I didn't see any good fortune coming his way; I just felt that this guy had a lot of misfortunes.
It was as if God didn't want him to live.
