Chapter 7: The Old Man's Privacy

"Old man, let me tell you, I just came back this time to ask the academy for a short vacation, and I have to return to school the day after tomorrow, and the next time I come back, it is estimated that it will be two or three months later." It was getting late, and Ye Tian, who woke up from sleep, stretched out in the yard, and then pretended to be relaxed.

Since he had decided to conceal it, Ye Tian didn't want the old man to know that he was about to participate in the training camp of the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance, so as not to worry about it.

Although the old man is drunk and dreams every day, he doesn't care about anything, but he knows better than anyone else that he has lived with the old man for so many years, and the old man's mind is actually very heavy and more sensitive than anyone else, otherwise, he wouldn't have used alcohol to anesthetize himself every day.

Also, don't look at the old man is usually very irresponsible, since he picked him up from the garbage can, he has been stocking, so that even the neighbors around him are a little blind, but whenever he gets into trouble and can't solve it, the old man will stand up and help him settle it.

What touched Ye Tian the most was that the old man didn't know what means he used to get him into the Hidden Dragon Academy, which is a bit incredible to think about it so far.

You must know that Qianlong Academy is the best school on the earth, and countless people want to send their children into it, but the enrollment quota is limited every year, even many rich people will be turned away, and only the real children of nobility can enter it to cultivate, and it is for this reason that Qianlong Academy is also known as the Noble Academy.

And he was born in the slums, but he finally succeeded in entering Qianlong Academy, which undoubtedly surprised many people.

Ye Tian remembered very clearly that when he was officially admitted to Qianlong Academy, it caused a strong sensation and controversy, and it was not until a long time later that all kinds of noisy controversies slowly subsided.

For a while, Ye Tian was very curious, wanting to know how the old man got himself into Qianlong Academy, you must know that in his eyes, the old man is a bad old man who drinks every day, how decadent and decadent he is, no matter how he looks at it, he doesn't look like that kind of big man with hands and eyes.

It's just that the old man's tone is extremely tight, and Ye Tian has tried to change his methods several times, but he still doesn't know how the old man got himself into the Hidden Dragon Academy, and finally he has no choice but to give up.

"Got it, it's really verbose, with this nonsense, why don't you hurry up and prepare dinner, do you want to starve me to death?!" The old man glared at Ye Tian angrily, and waved his hand impatiently to urge.

"Great!" Seeing that the old man was not suspicious, Ye Tian couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and nodded with a smile.

Since he was self-reliant since he was a child, Ye Tian's cooking skills are very good, even though there are almost no delicious raw materials at home, but he still made a good dinner by making a good dinner.

One dish and one soup, coarse tea and light rice, but this breakfast The old man and Ye Tian ate with relish, and a sense of home was quietly fermented in this low and dim bungalow.

It's just that after eating and drinking, the old man's alcohol addiction was committed again, he took out a bottle of high-grade liquor from under his bed, bit the cap of the bottle with his mouth, and poured it up like that.

Ye Tian, who was cleaning up the dinner table, noticed this keenly, and his eyes couldn't help flashing a fleeting sense of grief, but he didn't say anything to stop it.

This is the tacit understanding between Ye Tian and the old man.

Since he can remember, the old man's health is not very good, he is very weak, coupled with the fact that he is addicted to alcohol and drinks uncontrollably, and his physical condition has become worse and worse over the years.

When he was young, he was not sensible, and he didn't know how to persuade the old man, but when he was really sensible and wanted to persuade him, there was no need for that, because the old man's health was extremely bad, and he didn't need a physical examination at all, and he could know that the old man didn't have a few years to live.

Ye Tian knew that the old man was very depressed in his heart, and it was likely that there was some miserable past, so he had been numbing himself through alcohol, although he wanted to know what was going on, but seeing that the old man did not mean to tell, he didn't want to ask more, so as not to uncover the old man's scar and make him sad.

Just like Sister Zhuo Ya on Martin Luther King Jr. Street, several times when he passed by, he saw Sister Zhuo Ya being treated roughly by prostitutes, with bruises and purple on her body, bowing her head and sobbing, and whenever this time, Ye Tian would step forward, hand Sister Zhuo Ya a bottle of spray medicine, and then help Sister Zhuo Ya close the door and turn around and leave silently.

Under the old man's education, Ye Tian knew that everyone had their own path and the right to choose their lifestyle, and all he could do was give enough respect.

Seeing that the old man drank a bottle of high-grade liquor, he was too strong to drink, and he fell asleep on the bed again, Ye Tian couldn't help but shake his head slightly, first carefully helped the old man make up the messy bed, and then returned to his cabin, just lying on the bed in a daze at will.

Originally, he didn't hide the old man's meaning, during the previous meal, he wanted to tell the old man the truth several times, and told the truth about his genetic test results and the fact that he had joined the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance, but seeing that the old man's physical condition was getting worse and worse, he was worried about stimulating the old man, so he didn't say anything in the end.

It's just that what Ye Tian didn't know was that not long after he left, the old man, who was originally drunk and unconscious, suddenly turned over, opened his eyes, his expression was very complicated, and he sighed quietly.

"I'm already useless, but I've suffered this kid, it's rare for him to have a heart, but I'm very angry, and when he is in trouble, I can't even pull him if I want to." The old man's eyes were red, in fact, he already knew Ye Tian's genetic test results, and he also knew that Ye Tian had just joined the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance, so he had the intention to stop it, but after thinking of something, he finally collapsed on the bed.

Because his time is running out, it's time for Ye Tian to get used to going alone, after all, only by facing it bravely can the young eagle finally fly high.

After sighing, the old man turned over and took out another bottle of high-grade liquor from under the bed, and poured it into his mouth, and the muddy tears mixed with the wine kept flowing, and finally fell silent.
