118: Chapter 118 Teacher Da Su: If I ever try to control you guys again, I'm a dog.
Just as Younger Teacher Su was frowning in confusion, Elder Teacher Su's eyes suddenly lit up, and she nudged Younger Teacher Su with her elbow.
"We really did meet her when we were little."
"Are you sure?"
"Yeah, do you remember that maid sister at home when we were kids?"
A look of realization dawned in Younger Teacher Su's eyes as she turned back to look at Di Zhenzhen. "She's changed so much."
Di Zhenzhen smiled slightly and pushed a plate of pastries in front of her. "Come, taste the pastries I made. See if they taste better than the ones from when you were little."
Younger Teacher Su picked one up and took a light bite. "About the same."
In truth, she didn't remember eating her pastries at all. Even if she had, more than ten years had passed; she wouldn't remember the taste.
"Back then, I had just learned how to make them. I didn't expect that after more than ten years, my skills still wouldn't have improved."
Younger Teacher Su didn't respond, appearing uninterested in her words.
Di Zhenzhen spoke again, "Have you two sisters always been together since you were young?"
Younger Teacher Su countered, "Weren't you a maid in our house? Don't you know?"
"I mean even earlier. When we met, you were already ten years old. Were you ever apart before the age of ten?"
"No."
Di Zhenzhen looked at Elder Teacher Su again.
Seeing this, Younger Teacher Su couldn't help but grumble inwardly, "What is with this woman? I already said no, so why is she still looking at my sister?"
Elder Teacher Su also shook her head. "Indeed, we weren't."
Di Zhenzhen sighed inwardly. Number Eighteen had clearly left the village only when she was eight.
When Dr. Qiu said that both their memories had been modified by Ling Xiangjun, she hadn't believed it. How could a person's memory be modified?
Seeing them now, she had no choice but to believe it.
"Did you two sisters come here specifically to deliver a letter to me?" Di Zhenzhen asked.
Elder Teacher Su said, "It was just on the way. We heard that spirit origin stones appeared in the Abandoned Well and came to see the commotion."
"I see. Then you must not have a place to stay yet. Why not stay in the village? There are still some empty rooms."
"No need."
Younger Teacher Su suddenly interjected.
Di Zhenzhen was slightly taken aback and smiled. "What's wrong? After not seeing each other for a few years, have you become distant with your sister?"
Younger Teacher Su didn't want to stay in the village. She felt that those young and beautiful nuns in the village seemed to have ill intentions toward her Xiao Zhuo.
Elder Teacher Su added, "It's like this: isn't the bridge leading to the Abandoned Well broken? So we planned to head back after delivering the letter."
They had already completed three tasks and met Su Zixing's requirements, so there was no need to stay here any longer.
Looking at the people outside the village, every one of them either looked like a bandit or had a hideous expression.
If things were truly as Yun Zhuo said—that they were all waiting for the bridge-repairers to come out so they could double-cross them—who knew how chaotic it would become then.
Di Zhenzhen hadn't expected them to leave so soon.
Just as she was thinking of a reason to keep the sisters so that Number Eighteen could recall some memories in a familiar environment...
Yun Zhuo's voice suddenly rang out from outside the courtyard. "I say, since the Village Chief sister has invited us so warmly, we should still show some Face."
Younger Teacher Su turned back and looked at the grinning Yun Zhuo, her brow furrowing instantly.
What does this brat mean? Does he really want to take a nun back with him?
Elder Teacher Su also frowned slightly. What scheme was this brat cooking up now?
Was he eating from his bowl while eyeing the pot?
"And who is this Little Handsome Guy?"
Di Zhenzhen asked, feigning surprise.
"I'm Yun Zhuo. How should I address you, Sister?"
Just as he finished speaking, he was grabbed by Younger Teacher Su and forced to sit beside her. She gave him a fierce glare.
It was as if she were saying: "If you dare to mess around, you'll see how I deal with you."
Di Zhenzhen watched their little interaction, a playful curve appearing at the corners of her mouth. "My name is Di Zhenzhen, and I'm the village chief here."
"So it's Sister Zhenzhen."
Yun Zhuo looked her up and down.
Her large hips made her waist look thin, and with the stunning curves hidden under her black robe, her 'Oka-san' figure was so impressive that Younger Teacher Su could only be relegated to the status of a mere 'older sister' in comparison.
"Sister Zhenzhen, I'm an expert at fixing water pipes. If the pipes in your house ever break, remember to call me."
As soon as Yun Zhuo said this, Younger Teacher Su stomped on his foot and ground her heel down hard.
Fixing water pipes? Has this kid watched too many adult films in Jianmu City? If you want to fix them so badly, why don't you go to Jianmu City?
There are plenty of 'Oka-sans' and 'One-sans' there waiting for someone to fix their pipes.
Younger Teacher Su's eyes were practically shooting sparks, but Yun Zhuo didn't even turn red or let his voice tremble, as if Younger Teacher Su were stepping on someone else.
Di Zhenzhen smiled slightly. "Then you'll have to stay for a few more days so I can find you when they break."
"Sister Zhenzhen, our car is still outside. Since we're staying here, can we drive the car in?"
Under the table, Younger Teacher Su's hand was pinching Yun Zhuo's leg hard. She tilted her head to block Di Zhenzhen's view and mouthed to Yun Zhuo, "Who said we're staying here?"
Yun Zhuo grabbed her Face, pushed it aside, and asked again, "Sister Zhenzhen, is it okay?"
Di Zhenzhen laughed. "It's okay, but the problem is, are you sure you can still find your car now?"
"What do you mean?"
"I mean, your car has probably been stolen."
"We couldn't be that unlucky, right?"
"Little Brother Xiao Zhuo, this is the wilderness, not the city. Is this your first time in the wild?"
Elder Teacher Su tugged at Yun Zhuo's clothes. "How about we go take a look?"
She also wanted to take this chance to get Yun Zhuo away and ask him what he was really thinking.
Why did he suddenly agree to stay? It didn't seem like his style at all.
The three of them left the village to find the car. As soon as they were out, Younger Teacher Su grabbed Yun Zhuo's ear. "You've got a lot of nerve lately, haven't you? You don't listen to a word I say anymore, do you?"
"Hiss, can you let go first? My ear is about to be pulled off."
Feeling bad for him, Elder Teacher Su quickly grabbed Younger Teacher Su's hand. "Little Yuan, let him go first. Let's talk things out properly."
"Look at your sister. Can't you be a bit more gentle like her?"
Younger Teacher Su's Face turned red with anger. She turned to her sister and said, "Sis, do you know what you looked like just now?"
Elder Teacher Su frowned and glanced at her. "It's definitely nothing good."
"Hmph, acting all tea-like, just like a Green Tea Bitch."
"You're the Green Tea Bitch! I was just afraid... forget it. You two keep fighting. If I ever care about you again, I'm a dog."
"Hmph."
Younger Teacher Su remained unmoved and turned back to look at Yun Zhuo.
But as soon as she turned her head, her vision went dark and her waist tightened.
Yun Zhuo pulled her slender waist toward him and kissed her on the lips.
Younger Teacher Su's eyes widened. This brat was using this trick again.
Even though she knew he was doing it on purpose, after hesitating for less than two seconds, her anger vanished instantly, and her heart softened.
Just as she closed her eyes and began to respond instinctively...
Suddenly, a sharp whistle exploded in their ears.
The two immediately broke apart and looked toward the sound.
At the street corner were three Adventurers—two men and one woman—in travel-worn tactical gear. They looked as if they hadn't washed in years, looking scruffy while also giving off the ruggedness of Northwest swordsmen.
One had a cigarette in his mouth, was short and bow-legged, had a Katana at his waist, and was expressionless.
Another was crouching on a concrete block with a cigarette between his fingers. The woman was leaning on his back, wearing two lip rings, and was smiling at the three of them.
She was the one who had whistled.
"Why did you two stop? Keep going. Can't you see I was really getting into the show?"
