Rebirth of an Idle Noblewoman

Hua Youlin had been sprawled over the table, doing his homework. When Jiji came over, he was immediately shuffled over to the side by the robot. Jiji turned to look at him. “Little Hua, you finally have a chance to play, why are you still doing your homework?”

Hua Youlin looked at that blinding flowery shirt that Jiji insisted on wearing, his lips twitching. He shoved his books back into his bag, and crawled onto his bed to watch TV.

Gu Xiqiao chose this moment to stand up. “Little Hua, let’s go down for a bit.”

Hua Youlin’s hands paused, and he turned to her in surprise. “We’re going out?”

“You’ve been distracted since we reached, haven’t you? Did you think I wouldn’t notice?” Gu Xiqiao smiled faintly at the boy.

Hua Youlin scratched his head, embarrassed at being caught.

At Mingzhou Skybridge, a young boy looking to be the age of thirteen or fourteen stood at the end of the bridge, holding a broken guitar, playing and singing. There was a broken bowl in front of him, and someone would occasionally throw some coins in it, making a ‘clang’ sound as it did. There were only a few people who stopped to watch.

Suddenly, a shadow fell upon Shao Ge. He raised his head immediately, feeling joy in his heart. Was there finally somebody who understood his soul song?

He was met with a fair, jade-like face. It was someone who looked to be the same age as him, and the person was smiling brightly at him.

“Do you have business with me?” Shao Ge asked, dumbfounded. He studied the boy in front of him, his dressing, the golden tortoise that hung in the front, he looked like some young master from a rich family. What a nutcase, aren’t you afraid of getting robbed with that kind of carefree attitude?

Hua Youlin grinned wider. “Shao Shao, you don’t recognize me anymore!”

“You…” His parents had died a long time ago, and there was only one other person in his memory that called him by that name. Shao Ge’s eyes lit up. “Hua Youlin?!”

“Yes, it’s me.” Hua Youlin sat down on the ground. “I thought you wouldn’t be here, but I can’t believe that you still are.”

“I don’t have anywhere else to go.” Shao Ge placed the guitar down on the ground, chatting with Hua Youlin.

When Hua Youlin had been chased out by Hua Jingya, Shao Ge had been the one to rescue him. Later, when he could no longer stay in Mingzhou, Hua Youlin sneaked onto a truck and finally got into the Imperial Capital.

“Why are there so many luxury cars around?” Hua Youlin looked at the luxurious cars parked in the area nearby, and was surprised to see so many people with extraordinary identities coming down.

It wasn’t like this was a flourishing area or anything either.

Shao Ge raised his hand, pointing towards a direction. “They’re all here to see him.”

Hua Youlin followed the direction of his finger, catching sight of a large group not far from them. He didn’t know who was in the middle of them, but he could hear screams from girls and the sound of the cameras clicking, so it was probably some big star.

Hearing his words, Shao Ge shook his head. “A star? No, that’s a master.”

“A master?” Hua Youlin was flabbergasted. With such a huge commotion, he thought for sure it had to be some celebrity instead.

“Don’t underestimate people, that guy gives a lot of valuable advice. Practically no one in Mingzhou dares to offend him, and he’s also handsome. He always comes here on this day every month to do fortune telling.” Shao Ge stood up, packing away his guitar. “Let’s go, I’ll treat you to a meal.”

Hua Youlin turned to look back at the fortune teller, curiosity in his eyes.

The place Shao Ge took him to eat was in a deep alley, and the food was tasty. They had also eaten here two years ago.

“My sister should be done with her Mala soup by now, I’ll take you there…” After eating, the two walked out as they chatted.

Faint gunshot sounds and voices could suddenly be heard in front of them, and the two looked up, seeing a bunch of people. The knives in their hands were glowing under the dim street lights.

“It’s Mr. Yan!” Shao Ge shouted suddenly.

He didn’t control the volume of his voice as he was startled, and it attracted the bunch of people in front of him.

“You know him?” Hua Youlin touched the golden tortoise that hung around his neck. His strength had increased a lot under Yao Jiamu’s tutelage, and he knew he could deal with a bunch of ordinary people.

Shao Ge nodded his head. “It’s that master we saw just now. When I was being bullied by some fuerdai [1]last year, he’s the one who saved me!”
