Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“You’re right.” Gu Yuan pondered for a moment and looked up again, looking exceptionally determined. “It’s better to lock this kind of scourge at home to watch over it, lest we embarrass ourselves when it goes out.”
After Gu Man got out of the car, she walked into the neighborhood. Just as she was about to take the elevator upstairs, she saw a familiar figure standing below.
She stared in that direction for a long time before she could tell that it was Huang Jun.
At this moment, Huang Jun held the cigarette butt in his mouth with both hands. Smoke lingered around him, and there were many cigarette butts on the ground. It was unknown how long he had been smoking.
But it was obvious that he had been standing here for a long time.
The smell of tobacco kept floating in the air. She could even hear the man’s faint sigh. Gu Man raised her foot and walked closer. Huang Jun seemed to have sensed something. When he turned around and saw Gu Man again, he instantly revealed a panicked expression. He quickly put out the cigarette in his hand and threw it on the ground.
“Manman, why are you back?” He rubbed his hands nervously, not knowing how long Gu Man had been standing here.
Gu Man glanced at Huang Jun and then at the many cigarette butts on the ground. She pursed her lips and did not say anything.
Huang Jun followed her gaze. When he saw so many cigarette butts on the ground, he looked ashamed. He quickly squatted down and wrapped the cigarette butts together with a tissue.
“Manman, don’t throw the trash around like Uncle,” he instructed Gu Man like an adult.
“Uncle, why don’t you go up?” Gu Man’s calm tone was emotionless.
However, Huang Jun stopped what he was doing because of these words. He felt that Gu Man seemed to be angry. Although her emotions were very calm, he still acutely caught it.
Huang Jun immediately became nervous. After packing up the cigarette butt in his hand, he threw it into the trash can at the side.
He looked at Gu Man, who was still standing where she was, wanting to defend himself.
“Manman, Uncle, I just encountered something at work and am in a bad mood. Go upstairs first. Your grandmother should have prepared dinner for you.”
When Gu Man heard this, she still stood rooted to the ground and was indifferent. She stared at Huang Jun, as if she wanted to see through all his thoughts.
Huang Jun wiped the sweat off his forehead under Gu Man’s gaze. What happened just now appeared in his mind. All his words stopped in an instant and turned into a sigh. “Manman, be good and go back.”
Hearing this, Gu Man sized up Huang Jun. The decadence he exuded was something she had never seen before. He must have encountered something during this period.
“Uncle, we’re family. Didn’t you ask me to look for you guys for something previously? Why aren’t you looking for us when you encountered something?”
After saying that, Gu Man could clearly feel Huang Jun’s body stiffen.
But in the end, he did not say anything. He pointed at the elevator in front of him. “Manman, let’s go upstairs together. Your grandmother has probably been waiting for a long time.”
Before Gu Man could answer, she saw Huang Jun walk up first. His back was in a sorry state, as if he wanted to avoid something.
Looking at his back, Gu Man followed.
The two of them still did not speak in the elevator until the elevator door opened and they entered the house.
The table was filled with a large plate of food. Grandma was obviously in a good mood.
She looked at the two of them who had returned together with surprise on her face. Then, she waved at them. “Come and eat together.”
Huang Jue was also sitting at the table. His ears twitched and he turned to look in Gu Man’s direction. His eyes lit up and he ran over happily. “Sister, I don’t know a few questions. Guide me.”
Gu Man rubbed Huang Jue’s head and nodded slightly. She seemed to have thought of what had happened just now and turned to look at Huang Jun, catching the bitterness on his face.
Huang Jun did not expect Gu Man to suddenly turn around and hide the expression on her face in panic. He walked towards the dining table, wanting to be as usual.
However, once someone had something on their mind, everything they did would be different from usual. Gu Man was not the only one who noticed Huang Jun’s abnormality. Grandma also noticed it.
When Grandma brought the food to the desk, she acutely smelled the faint smell of smoke in the air..
