At the gate of the scrap yard, Mr. Shi finally saw Xu Changqing return. She had gone out to buy a few batteries, but took her sweet time, only sauntering back over an hour later.
'Look at her!'
'What kind of behavior is this?'
'Are you Old Yu now?'
'So damn slow.'
It wasn't that he was against the girl taking a walk around town. It was that this silly kid had probably forgotten she was a young woman, and it wasn't safe for her to be out so late.
"It's fine. Taking on three or five guys would be no problem." Seeing Mr. Shi about to glare, Xu Changqing quickly explained, "Grandpa, it doesn't get dark until after seven these days."
"Just shut your mouth." His foot started to itch with the urge to kick the little brat. "Go on, get your things. And get your butt back home, now."
'There he goes with that rough talk again.'
'Could you even speak without that catchphrase of yours?' But would Xu Changqing dare to say that out loud right now? She just chuckled and hurried to catch up.
