Chapter 116 Either you stay, or you take me away
"Master, I need your help with something."
“Your vacation is at most a year, it can’t be extended, not even by a single day,” Shi Chuyan replied immediately.
“It’s not about the holiday.” Cheng Mu said speechlessly.
"What's that?"
"I'm planning to change my name." Cheng Mu briefly explained his plan. "I don't plan to continue using my previous name for the time being. I'll change it to 'Cheng Mu.' Since this involves changing personal information, I need your approval."
"Why change your name all of a sudden? Your old name was quite nice—oh~ I know, you've already decided, right?" Shi Chuyan immediately figured out the reason, then rolled her eyes. "Do you really need to go to so much trouble? Besides, quite a few people know you, it'll be easy to give yourself away."
“I’m wearing a mask right now, so I can’t be detected unless it’s a friend or a work colleague. And I don’t have many friends to begin with, nor do I have any colleagues I see frequently,” Cheng Mu replied. “The situation is very strange… I can’t explain it in a short time. Anyway, please help me.”
"Sure, sure." Shi Chuyan didn't mind, but she added, "Be careful when you're out there. Although you're quite capable and the name of Qingluan Pavilion can provide you with protection, it's not a very secure guarantee. You still need to be extra careful."
"I'm not outside, I've already returned to Qingluan Pavilion."
"Oh, that's good... Ah?? You're back?!" Shi Chuyan reacted instantly, "You're back now, what do you need a vacation for! Get back to work!"
"The leave has already been approved, you'd have to be crazy to go back to work. Besides, I don't really have anything to deal with personally, let me have a year of fun first, contact me if you need anything." After saying that, Cheng Mu was about to hang up.
She still had to find a way to keep Liu Ren at Qingluan Pavilion.
Where would I find the free time to work?
"You're so ungrateful! You only come to me when you need something, and then you just ignore me. Do you even respect me as your master anymore?" Shi Chuyan said with a dissatisfaction.
"Yes, yes. I'll hang up now if there's nothing else. We can talk next time if there's anything else." Cheng Mu nodded perfunctorily, then hung up the call and walked towards a milk tea shop on the street.
"Are you done talking?" Liu Ren, who was in line, asked after seeing her.
"Okay, that's all." Cheng Mu nodded.
Soon, Liu Ren came out with two cups of milk tea and handed one of them to Cheng Mu.
"How is it? The environment of Qingluan Pavilion?" Cheng Mu asked after taking the document.
“It’s really good.” Liu Ren looked around and gave an affirmative answer.
It's more than just good.
It could even be said that it far exceeded his expectations.
After restoring order, Qingluan Pavilion rebuilt the areas it had occupied.
Now, this place is not much different from any other modern city.
A peaceful and tranquil place.
What sets it apart from other areas is that there are many ordinary citizens on the streets.
It's not a robot.
It's human.
Merchants, citizens, schools, commercial streets, supermarkets, all kinds of shops—everything a modern city should have is here.
Having received nine years of compulsory education, Liu Ren immediately realized that although Qingluan Pavilion was nominally a "powerful force".
But in reality, it has already been transformed into a country.
Although the sparrow is small, it has all the vital organs.
It has a complete social ecosystem.
The only difference is that the form of survival is different from the real world in the true sense.
“With your strength, you can enjoy excellent treatment here,” Cheng Mu said. “As long as you step in when Qingluan Pavilion needs you, you will never have to worry about points again. Moreover, with Qingluan Pavilion as your backing, you don’t need to worry about revenge from your enemies.”
She extended an olive branch once again.
However, Liu Ren cannot stay in Qingluan Pavilion for peace and quiet now.
Therefore, he could only reply, "I can stay in Qingluan Pavilion for the time being, but I can't stay here forever. If Qingluan Pavilion needs my help, I can help them once, as a way of repaying your favor."
"If you want to repay my favor, then stay at Qingluan Pavilion—you don't have to do anything, as long as you stay here."
"You don't have to do anything? Then I'll just be a useless piece of trash lying here eating and drinking for free?"
"It's alright, I can let you eat and drink for free. With my salary and status at Qingluan Pavilion, I can support you more than enough."
"..."
[Wow, rich lady, I want to be kept too!]
What makes this streamer so deserving of such treatment?
Why do I never encounter such good things?
[Hey host, a real man shouldn't give in! A career is only meaningful if you fight for it yourself, don't you agree?]
Exactly! A true man stands between heaven and earth; how can he remain subservient to others for long?
Exactly! I don't want to be at work fixing screws while watching you enjoy being pampered by a rich woman.
Being kept by a rich woman isn't all good, Brother Wendao, you absolutely mustn't fall for it!
You guys just don't want to see anyone else doing well.
【…】
What's with this "I'm going to take care of you" attitude?
Liu Ren was speechless for a moment. Ignoring the wailing and howling in the comments, he put on the aura of a Sigma man, raised his hand and refused without leaving any room for negotiation.
"Sorry, but that's the only thing I can't accept. My values don't allow me to be a spineless coward who lives off women."
[PIAO亮!]
【Nice! 】
That's it! Reject it immediately!
[Sigma's men are just so handsome!]
"Then I'll change my request."
"You said."
"You don't have to stay here, but you have to take me with you."
【what? 】
【Seriously, do you really have to stick to the streamer?】
[Did the streamer owe you something in their past life?]
This woman, why is she always throwing herself at him?
"You're not going to stay in the peaceful life here at Qingluan Pavilion? You want to come with me to kill and set fires?"
"You just need to answer yes or no."
"It's not a question of whether it can be done, it's a question of why. Why?"
"Because I want to."
"..."
It turns out that when women get unreasonable, they really don't make any sense at all.
"You may be willing, but I may not be." Liu Ren suppressed his rather complicated feelings at the moment. "You should think about it again. Apart from the two things, that you want me to come with me and stay here, I can agree to anything else."
【handsome! 】
Otto!
Women who offer themselves to you are a trap; reject them immediately!
Women will only slow down your speed in drawing your sword!
Men only want to fight! Women, get out of here!
Liu Ren could tell that Cheng Mu seemed to care about him a lot.
But it was precisely this point that made him feel uncomfortable all over.
It's not that he's a scoundrel.
However, over the years, Liu Ren has solved 99% of the problems he has encountered on his own, and he has long been used to a life where no one cares about him.
It's a bit strange to suddenly have someone who cares about me like this.
I don't really want to adapt.
A person who is traversing wind and snow alone will not allow themselves to linger by the fireplace.
He was worried that if he lingered too long, he would lose the ability to cross the snowstorm again, and the courage to face it alone.
