Chapter 003: The Female Scholar

Dark Small Medium Large Original Scroll to Bottom

Suge did not say much, as Aida's enthusiasm was irresistible

His parents were among the early migrants from the countryside to the city for work, coinciding with the policy reforms of that time, which provided them with an opportunity to purchase a house that was over twenty years old

The gas streetlights illuminate the pristine white snow, and the reflected light makes the dark city a little brighter

The standard oval face, complemented by fair skin, paired with a pair of pitch-black eyes and a well-fitted black robe, exudes a classical beauty that is simple and serene.

The oblivious Suge, who was eating quietly, smiled and said: "You don't need to worry about Aida; you probably haven't slept well these past few days, so hurry and get some rest!"

"Ada, there is no need to go through such trouble." Su Ge felt a sense of embarrassment in his heart

While eating, Aida asked with concern, "Where have you been lately? Do you know how worried I am about you? I pray for you every day and even filed a report at the police station"

At that moment, Su Ge was completely stunned

Upon hearing Su Ge's response, Ada was momentarily taken aback, a hint of confusion and even shock flickering in the depths of her pitch-black eyes

In the early hours of the night, the streets on the outskirts of Bain City were deserted, with a layer of snow approximately five centimeters thick accumulated on the road surface

The most memorable incident in the memory of Sog through Sog Sototh was when two individuals encountered robbers on their way home.

As soon as Su Ge sat down, Ai Da rushed into the room to fetch a warm blanket to drape over him, then lit the fireplace and dove into the kitchen to prepare a meal

Su Ge, accompanied by his Siberian Husky, quickly arrived at a somewhat dilapidated row of apartments in the western suburbs of the city, following the streets that lingered in his memory

10 langfen per month, which amounts to 30 yuan per month, is already considered as giving it away for free

Ada smiled blissfully, radiating happiness.

Suge's appetite was instantly whetted, and he opened his mouth to eat without any gentlemanly demeanor

Struggling while holding onto the handrail, I made my way to the corridor on the fourth floor and arrived at the door closest to the easternmost side, where I reached out and knocked on the door

Ada has not been idle; she crouched down and patted the husky lying beside her, smiling as she said, "You must be starving too!"

This is a somewhat aged four-story apartment building, with the exterior walls having turned pitch black, the wooden window frames showing signs of decay, and the glass covered in dust

Suge smiled and nodded, continuing to eat

Upon her recent arrival in this city, Ada approached with a compassionate demeanor to calmly negotiate after witnessing a woman being abducted

Hula la ... ...

However, at that time, Su Ge was very happy because they finally had a house in the city, which was much more comfortable than the shabby dormitory they had lived in at the factory before

At this moment, he turned his head and patted the husky lying beside him, contemplating how to cope with the experiences of the past three days

Saying this, he walked into the kitchen and soon brought out a beef bone to hand to the husky

Gazing at Ada's beautiful face, which was so close, Suge felt no trace of impurity in his heart

The smallest currency unit of the empire is the Langfen, above which is the Langke, with 100 Langfen equaling 1 Langke

Ten minutes later, some simple warm dinner was placed on the table by Ada

Ada's voice came through: "You warm yourself by the fire first, the food will be ready soon."

Suge swallowed his words and spoke the excuse he had long prepared: "I was deceived by a fraudulent organization that promised I could make a lot of money, but instead, they captured us and trained us to deceive others. After being held by them for three days, I escaped when they were not paying attention."

Immediately, Su Ge heard a cacophony of footsteps coming from inside through the dilapidated iron gate

The husky's eyes immediately lit up upon seeing it, and a vicious dog pounced, grabbing the bone and gnawing on it

Suge expressed a face full of apology, slightly bowing as he said: "I am truly sorry, Ada, for making you worry"

Suge vaguely remembers that in order to buy this house, he ate black bread with a taste of sourdough for half a year during his childhood

In less than five seconds, the iron door was suddenly opened, and a young woman dressed in a black robe, with her hair tied up at the back of her head, appeared before Su Ge

I first saw this nun on the street

Rough gray bread, steaming mashed potatoes, soft butter, and fragrant bacon

Later, by chance, I heard that she was looking for an affordable house, so Su Ge rented out the spare bedroom in his home to her at an incredibly low price of 10 pence per month

Ada's straightforwardness and kindness, akin to an innate saintly disposition, render it impossible for anyone who approaches her to harbor any impure thoughts

"Goddess above, you have finally returned safely, Suge." Upon seeing Suge, Ada's face was instantly filled with relief and happiness, as if it were she herself who had just escaped from the brink of life and death, rather than Suge.

Ada naturally understood Suge's good intentions. After learning about Suge's tragic experiences, she was moved to tears. Once she moved in, she took care of Suge's daily life like an older sister.

It is very simple, yet the flavor is extraordinary

They were coveting Ada's beauty with the intention of committing an act of treachery, but when they truly approached her, they were instead captivated by her demeanor, and unexpectedly knelt on the ground, weeping bitterly and pleading for Ada's forgiveness

As Su Ge entered the house, Aida finally noticed the Siberian Husky following behind him

After listening, Ada held Sug's hands with both of hers and said earnestly: "Kind little Sug, the goddess will favor you for your kindness"

Ada's appearance is quite beautiful, characterized by her long, lustrous black hair, with some bangs naturally falling down to cover her slightly prominent forehead

This individual is a tenant in his household, named Ada Newton. She is a novice nun from out of town, currently 28 years old, and has been living in Suge for over two years.

In this world, the outskirts of the city at night are relatively dangerous, and recently there have been five mysterious cases of disappearances in the vicinity

At that moment, I was genuinely moved by Su Ge's heartfelt expression.

Suge casually said: "I found a stray dog when I came back, and seeing how pitiful it was, I brought it home."

Sog took out a set of keys from his pocket, unlocked the outer iron gate, and walked up the iron stairs in front of the apartment.

Suge's home is located on the fourth floor among these.

This is ... ... "Ada was somewhat surprised

As the empire operates on a gold standard, 1 Lank is equivalent to 1 gram of gold. Su Ge simply calculated that the purchasing power of 1 Lank is approximately equal to 300 Renminbi

Ada's demeanor returned to normal, her face beaming with joy: "I am fine. Although I am still a novice nun, my frequent prayers have strengthened my spiritual power far more than yours."

This nun possesses a heart that is exceptionally kind and simple, truly a good person who cannot bear to see others suffer or be in danger

At this moment, Ella's demeanor was not very good; her complexion was slightly pale, and there were faint dark circles under her eyes

After five minutes, she persuaded the robber to exchange hostages, and even later, when the robber was attacked by the police, she surprisingly used her body to shield the robber from the police's batons

Two humble farmers worked from dawn till dusk, selling their pots and iron to purchase a house
