Chapter 1725: Chapter 1725: Star-Chasing Couples
Little Taotie took out the Broken Bowl and that wooden box. She hadn’t opened the box yet and didn’t know what was inside.
The old man saw the Broken Bowl and froze for a moment.
"This... is the bowl from back then!"
Everyone’s eyes focused on the old man.
The old man slowly exhaled, his expression hard to read: "Back then, when we were doing missions overseas, someone betrayed us, causing us not to be able to return home. Penniless, we... spent some time performing to earn a living."
"So, is this bowl the one you used for begging back then?" Lou Lan blurted out.
The old man glared at her, "That’s for performing!"
"Oh, oh, oh, performing!" Lou Lan didn’t see any difference.
The old man lowered his gaze, "This bowl... was long thrown into the sea, how did it appear here..."
"Who threw it?" Lou Lan asked.
The old man recalled, "It was... Shen Cang."
Lou Lan snapped her fingers, "We’ve got the answer. He never actually threw it away back then, he faked a throw, and had hidden the bowl long ago."
The old man couldn’t understand, "What did he keep a Broken Bowl for?"
Lou Lan: "Maybe as a keepsake."
"Where did you find it?" The old man examined the Broken Bowl closely, "It’s really broken..."
His eyes were filled with reminiscence as if recalling that seemingly unbearable yet ironically funny memory from the past.
"I dug it out of the ground," Little Taotie pulled out her pink shovel.
Lou Lan snatched the shovel, "It’s so dirty! How could you bring it back!"
The cleanliness-obsessed Lou Lan took the shovel to clean it.
Little Taotie looked at her empty hands, then at Lou Lan’s distant figure, pursed her lips, "It wasn’t that dirty..."
"Exactly, it wasn’t dirty at all!" Queen Flower Lady huffed twice, very dissatisfied with Lou Lan.
She giggled and said to Little Taotie, "My dumbbells are all pink!"
Everyone who liked Zaizai knew that Zaizai loved pink, and her teddy bear always wore a pink sweater.
Sure enough, Little Taotie’s eyes immediately lit up, her big eyes fluttered as she looked at Queen Flower Lady, "Let’s work out together, can you lend me your dumbbells to play with?"
"Of course! It’s a promise, we’ll work out together!" Queen Flower Lady held out her pinky finger.
Little Taotie immediately stepped forward and hooked pinkies.
Someone muttered, "How old are you, still playing these kid games."
Immediately met with a fierce attack from Queen Flower Lady.
The man roared in anger, "Can’t you be a little gentle!"
Queen Flower Lady coldly laughed, "There’s no need to be polite with scumbags like you, nor waste my gentleness. My gentleness is for those who deserve it!"
"I’ve said it so many times, I didn’t cheat, why won’t you believe me!"
"Hmph!" Queen Flower Lady turned her back, ignoring him.
The old man spoke coldly, "Your private matters, resolve them privately."
The man, who had wanted to argue a few words, fell silent, gloomily murmuring an "um."
Little Taotie blinked, looked at Queen Flower Lady, then at the man with a worried face, tilted her head, and started thinking.
The man with the worried face raised his head, met Little Taotie’s somewhat curious, somewhat inquisitive gaze, and awkwardly tugged at the corner of his mouth.
In fact, it was him who first liked Little Taotie, and he’s the one who recommended her to his girlfriend, no, now it should be ex-girlfriend.
After his ex-girlfriend fell for Little Taotie, the two of them had a common topic, a common hobby, and their relationship improved to the point of discussing marriage. Who knew one mission would lead their relationship to completely collapse.
Little Taotie blinked, noticing a flower blooming on the man’s head, a small blue flower, resembling an orchid.
