Chapter 22: Departure

"Ripples, this is 2,000 yuan, you take it first, I will start classes tomorrow, you can go out for a walk, and rest safely." In the evening, Xi Tianling, who returned to the slums, said to Xiao Lianyi.

"Hmm." Xiao Lianyi did not refuse, and took the 2,000 yuan soft sister coin handed over by Xi Tianling.

There was no word all night, and Xi Tianling did not enter the Iron Man world again, because the time estimate was not enough, and he could only wait for the next weekend.

"Ripples, I'm leaving, you stay safe at home." Early in the morning, Xi Tianling cleaned up and left breakfast for Xiao Lianyi, looked at Xiao Lianyi, who was still lying in bed, smiled, and then admonished.

Not long after Xi Tianling left the nest, a luxurious car suddenly came to the slum, and the car stopped in front of Xi Tianling's nest.

"Bang bang bang, bang." There was a knock on the door of Xi Tianling's house.

"Who?" Xiao Lianyi, who was sleeping inside, asked in a daze.

"Bang bang." The knocking continued, Xiao Lianyi got up, and then came to the door to open the door.

"Miss." When Xiao Lianyi opened the door, the person in front of the door saw Xiao Lianyi and called out respectfully.

"Ahh Hearing this person's voice, Xiao Lianyi looked up, immediately shouted, and then slammed the door shut, the voice was a crisp female voice.

"Miss, miss, open the door, miss." This is an old man about 60 years old, although his face is full of wrinkles, but he is very energetic, when he saw Xiao Lianyi close the door again, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he continued to knock on the door and shout.

"How did you find here?" After a long while, Xiao Lianyi opened the door a crack, revealing two eyes, looking at the old man and saying.

"Miss, do you think the master will rest assured that you are out alone?" The old man stared at Xiao Lianyi with a smile and said.

"Hmph, then you come in, fortunately, Brother Tianling is not at home." Xiao Lianyi looked around, fortunately, there are not many people now, even if they don't know much about luxury cars and slums.

Xiao Lianyi opened the door and let the old man in.

"Miss, have you been living here for the past few days?" The old man walked into Xi Tianling's nest, looked at the dilapidated house, and said distressedly with Xiao Lianyi.

Xiao Lianyi didn't speak, but picked up the teapot and poured a glass of water for the old man, asked the old man to sit down, and then sat on the bed himself in a daze.

"Miss, come back with me, the old lady misses you very much." The old man told Xiao Lianyi not to speak, and finally couldn't help talking in the future.

"Don't go back, resolutely don't go back." Hearing the old man's words, Xiao Lianyi's head shook like a rattle, and he kept talking.

"However, it's not a matter that you have been living here, not to mention that it is very inconvenient, just say that you are a girl, sharing a room with a man, in case he finds out that you are a daughter......" The old man said this, a little unable to continue.

"No, Brother Tianling is a good person." Xiao Lianyi heard the old man's words, shook his head affirmatively and said.

"Miss, you don't know your face but don't know your heart, how can you trust someone so easily!" When the old man heard Xiao Lianyi's words, he also had a headache, and said bitterly.

"Hmph, haven't I been fine for a few days, and Brother Tianling is really good to me, I can feel it.!" Xiao Lianyi said disappreliantly, and said that the back was even more sincere.

"Miss, I have investigated this young man Xi Tianling, and he should be a good person." When the old man heard Xiao Lianyi's words, he had no choice but to change his strategy, thinking of the results of the investigation of Xi Tianling, even he had to praise Xi Tianling twice.

"But, miss, think about it, he has always thought that you are a boy, and what he values most is feelings, if he knows that you are lying to him, then ......" The old man said this, did not say any more, and when he saw Xiao Lianyi's expression, it really became ugly, and the old man was overjoyed, and continued to add fuel and vinegar.

"Think about it, if Xi Tianling knew your identity and knew that you were lying to him, with the importance he attaches to his feelings, he will definitely not forgive you." The old man continued to explain to Xiao Lianyi the consequences of revealing the stuffing.

"What then?" Xiao Lianyi was also a little panicked, in the past few days, he also knew Xi Tianling's life experience, and he could also feel the importance he attached to his feelings, as the old man said, if he knew that he lied to him, then ......

"Of course it's going back with me, you can discuss that matter with the master, you can follow Xi Tianling to his university in the future, get familiar with him first, and then tell him, wouldn't it be good?" The old man saw that Xiao Lianyi had finally loosened, and continued to pay attention to Xiao Lianyi.

"But ......" Xiao Lianyi bit his slender finger and muttered, when Xiao Lianyi did this action, although he was wearing men's clothes, he was just as charming, in fact, Xiao Lianyi's dress, a discerning person could see at a glance that he was a girl, and it is estimated that only a person like Xi Tianling, who is not deeply involved in the world, will not be able to find out.

"It's nothing, but, only this is the best way, it must be very inconvenient for you to live here, I guess I haven't taken a bath for a few days!" The old man said everything to Xiao Lianyi's heart.

But through getting along in the past few days, Xiao Lianyi's dependence on Xi Tianling has become very strong, and if she is allowed to leave, she is really reluctant.

"Okay." In the end, Xiao Lianyi bit his finger and pondered for a long time, and finally agreed with the old man's words.

"Wait, I'll leave a letter for Brother Tianling." After making up her mind, Xiao Lianyi didn't procrastinate, and directly picked up the pen and paper that the old man went out to get her and began to write the letter.

"Hey, miss, this is a family heirloom passed down to you by my master." When Xiao Lianyi finished writing the letter, he thought about it, took off a small milky white jade plate from his neck, and then put it in the envelope.

"Since it's all passed on to me, it's mine, and what I do with it depends on my wishes." Xiao Lianyi pouted and said disapprerovingly.

"But......" The old man wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Xiao Lianyi.

"Nothing, I've decided." Xiao Lianyi said very resolutely.

"Okay, then." Looking at Xiao Lianyi's resolute expression, the old man finally compromised.

"By the way, don't tell my parents!" Just after Xiao Lianyi was ready, he suddenly thought of something, turned his head and said to the old man.

"Well, I'm not going to tell them." When the old man heard Xiao Lianyi's words, the corners of his mouth trembled, and then he said helplessly.

Then followed Xiao Lianyi out of Xi Tianling's nest, and the old man reluctantly glanced at the envelope containing the Xiao family's heirlooms.
