Chapter 152 Night Talk (Part )
This was the first time Huang Zhong called Wang Yao by his full name.
If one day, your parents call you out by your full name, no matter how gentle the smiles on their faces are, please be sure to believe that it is you who pissed them off!
Although Wang Yao called Huang Zhong uncle, it was only for Luna's sake. There was absolutely no father-son relationship between them.
But for some reason, when Wang Yao heard Huang Zhong call out his full name for the first time, he subconsciously felt a little scared.
You know, Huang Zhong usually calls him "that little soldier" all the time, and at most he just calls him a kid.
"Uncle, what's wrong?" Wang Yao sat down next to Huang Zhong and asked carefully, with an attitude more respectful than ever before.
Huang Zhong beside him did not answer immediately, but just looked at Wang Yao expressionlessly, as if sizing him up, as if he was getting to know Wang Yao all over again for the first time.
Perhaps out of guilt, Wang Yao's forehead soon broke out in cold sweat and he felt very uneasy.
As perceptive as he was, he realized in an instant that Huang Zhong might have guessed that he was with Luna at night, and was probably preparing to hold him accountable.
But on second thought, Wang Yao's expression became calmer.
A gentleman is open and honest. He thinks that since he really likes to be with Luna, he should face all the obstacles around him calmly instead of hiding it and acting like a thief all day long!
What's more, truth will come to light sooner or later. Instead of deceiving and concealing the truth, it is better to take this opportunity to confront Huang Zhong. No matter how bad the result is, he will overcome all obstacles and prove his intentions with actions.
Thinking of this, Wang Yao sat up straight and said, "Uncle, actually Luna and I..."
He was just halfway through his words when Huang Zhong, who had been silent, interrupted him: "Tonight, you were actually with our girl, right?"
"Yes." Wang Yao paused, then nodded bluntly.
"Humph, I never knew you were so honest. I've lived for so many years, but this is the first time I've seen a soldier like you who disregards the rules and is so bold and reckless."
Huang Zhong snorted lightly, and his eyes suddenly turned cold. "But what makes you think that a mere soldier like you is worthy of our Nana? You should know that for your foolish behavior tonight, I will smash your head with a cannon right now. Even if the military advisor and His Majesty investigate it later, they will not blame me for anything."
What Huang Zhong said was not an exaggeration. In the King's Continent, heroes have the power of life and death over those soldiers who dare to disobey them.
But Wang Yao was not afraid at all. He looked Huang Zhong in the face without any arrogance or servility. "Uncle, I am not afraid of being cheated by you. If I was really afraid of being cheated by you, I would have moved out a month ago. Why would I live with you until now? Let's talk about it later."
Looking at the silent Huang Zhong, Wang Yao smiled faintly: "Uncle, I actually think that the so-called sectarianism is nothing but worldly prejudice and ignorance!"
These words made Huang Zhong pause for a moment, but his eyes remained cold.
Wang Yao's expression gradually became serious: "Even if I am just a small soldier, what does it have to do with whether I am worthy or not? It is enough that I want to take care of Nana for the rest of my life! Uncle, as Nana's guardian, don't you want her to be happy in the second half of her life? I know that you heroes have always looked down on us small soldiers. Indeed, we small soldiers are very weak. For you, killing a small soldier is as easy as crushing an ant. But things change over time, and don't despise the poor young man. Why do you think that I, Wang Yao, am destined to be a small fish on the chopping board all my life?" After saying this righteously, Wang Yao fell silent, leaving Huang Zhong's gaze, which became increasingly cold.
The atmosphere in the hall slowly dropped to freezing point as Wang Yao spoke. The damp and cool night wind blew in from outside the door, and there was a sign of impending storm.
"Hmph" Huang Zhong suddenly snorted, like the soft snort of someone who can't help laughing.
Then, in Wang Yao's slightly confused eyes, the old man seemed to have seen something particularly interesting and continued to hum softly. Then, he couldn't help but smile slightly. Slowly, the smile, like the sun shining through the clouds, spread across the old man's serious and cold face.
At the end, Huang Zhong laughed heartily.
There was a hint of joy and heroism, and a hint of admiration in the laughter.
"Thirty years in the east, thirty years in the west. Don't look down on the young and poor. Let alone your fighting ability, just talking about your sharp tongue and eloquence, you are second to none among the three armies."
Wang Yao stared blankly at the serious Huang Zhong who smiled in front of him for the first time. His heart moved and he felt that there was a chance.
But before Wang Yao could show his joy, Huang Zhong snorted again: "Boy, don't be too happy too soon. I admire you because you have this insight and courage. It has nothing to do with our girl's affairs."
These words immediately made Wang Yaoru feel like he was being poured with cold water, and he cursed in his heart.
Stinky old man, if that's the case, then why are you laughing? !
Huang Zhong suddenly looked at Wang Yao with a complicated expression, and said meaningfully: "Old man, I can see that our girl has a special liking for you, a soldier. Although she has never taken the initiative to tell me, her words and deeds on weekdays cannot escape my eyes. Humph, I don't know what you, a soldier, usually feed her to make our girl so obsessed with you."
After saying this, Huang Zhong's face showed undisguised contempt and disdain.
Although he was despised by the old man, Wang Yao was not angry at all when he heard this. Instead, he laughed foolishly. His foolishness was in stark contrast to his usual calm and intelligent image.
If Huang Zhong's words were spoken by someone else, Wang Yao might have just laughed it off. But when they came out of Huang Zhong's mouth, the meaning was completely different. It was like your father-in-law who had always opposed your relationship with his precious daughter finally softened his heart one day and reluctantly agreed to your relationship.
At this moment, Huang Zhong sighed inexplicably, shook his head and asked softly: "Boy, don't be too happy too soon. You are still young, maybe you really love each other, but I, an old man, want to ask you a question here, do you really understand our girl?"
I have written so much without realizing it, there will probably be another chapter at three in the morning.
