Chapter 7 The Old Man's Privacy

"Old man, let me tell you, I just took a short leave from the college this time, and I have to return to school the day after tomorrow. It will probably take two or three months to come back next time." It was getting late, and Ye Tian, ​​who woke up, stretched his waist in the yard, and then said with a pretended ease.

Since he had decided to hide it, Ye Tian didn't want the old man to know that he was about to participate in the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance Training Camp to avoid worrying.

Although the old man was drunk every day and looked like he didn't care about anything, he knew better than anyone else after living with the old man for so many years. The old man was actually very serious and more sensitive than anyone else. Otherwise, he wouldn't have used alcohol to anesthetize himself every day.

Also, although the old man is usually very irresponsible, he has been stocking since he picked him up from the trash can, so that even the neighbors around him can't see him, but whenever he gets into trouble and can't solve it, the old man will come out to help him settle it.

What moved Ye Tian the most was that the old man didn't know what method he used to actually put him into Qianlong Academy, which is still a bit incredible to think about.

You should know that Qianlong Academy is the best institution on earth. Countless people are trying to send their children in, but the number of enrollment places is limited every year. Even many rich people will be rejected. Only real noble children can enter and practice. Therefore, Qianlong Academy is also called the noble college.

However, he was born in a slum, but he finally successfully entered Qianlong Academy, which undoubtedly surprised many people.

Ye Tian remembered it very clearly that when he was officially admitted to Qianlong Academy, it caused a strong sensation and controversy. It was not until a long time later that all the noisy controversies slowly subsided.

For a while, Ye Tian was very curious and wanted to know how the old man brought himself into Qianlong Academy. You should know that in his eyes, the old man was just an old man who was drunk every day. He was so decadent and decadent that he was not like a big man with all his eyes.

However, the old man's mouth was extremely tight. Ye Tian tried several times, but he still didn't know how the old man brought himself into Qianlong Academy, so he had no choice but to give up.

"I understand, it's so long-winded. If you have the skills of nonsense, don't you hurry up and prepare dinner. Do you want to starve me to death?!" The old man glared at Ye Tian angrily, and waved his hand impatiently and urged him.

"Okay!" Seeing that the old man was not suspicious, Ye Tian couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and nodded in response with a smile.

Because he has been self-reliant since he was a child, Ye Tian’s cooking skills are very good. Even though he has almost no delicious raw materials at home, he still gets it together and tries to make a good dinner.

Each dish and soup, simple rice, but the old man and Ye Tian ate this breakfast with relish, and a sense of warmth quietly fermented in this low and dark bungalow.

However, after eating and drinking, the old man became addicted to alcohol again. He took out a bottle of high-alcohol wine from under his bed, bit the bottle cap with his mouth, and then raised his head and poured it on. The sound of gurgling cow drinks sounded, which was very generous, but his hand holding the bottle was trembling constantly, and he could not hold it firmly.

Ye Tian, ​​who was cleaning the dining table, noticed this, and a fleeting feeling of sorrow flashed in his eyes, but he did not say anything to stop him.

This is a tacit understanding between Ye Tian and the old man.

As I remember, the old man's health was not very good and very weak. In addition, he was addicted to alcohol and was uncontrollable. Over the years, his physical condition became worse and worse.

When he was young, he was ignorant and didn't know how to persuade the old man. But when he was really sensible and wanted to persuade him, there was no need for that, because the old man's health was already extremely bad and he didn't need a physical examination at all. He could also know that the old man had not had a few years of life. Instead of persuading him, it would be better to let the old man continue to indulge himself as he wants, which is not that bad.

Ye Tian knew that the old man was very depressed and probably had something tragic past that was unbearable, so he kept numbing himself through alcohol. Although he wanted to know what was going on, he didn't want to ask more questions when he saw that the old man had no intention of telling him, so as not to uncover the old man's scars and make him sad.

Just like Sister Zhuo Ya from Martin Luther King Street, he passed by several times. When he saw Sister Zhuo Ya being treated rudely by a client, his body was green and purple, and he lowered his head and sobbed. Whenever this time, Ye Tian would walk forward, hand over a bottle of spray potion to Sister Zhuo Ya, and then help Sister Zhuo Ya close the door, turn around and leave silently.

Under the old man's education, Ye Tian knew that everyone had their own path and the right to choose a lifestyle. All he could do was give enough respect.

Seeing the old man drinking a bottle of high-alcohol liquor, unable to bear the effort, he lay down on the bed and slept soundly. Ye Tian couldn't help but shake his head slightly. He first carefully helped the old man tidy up the messy bed, then returned to his hut, and lay on the bed casually in a daze.

Originally, he had no intention of hiding the old man. During the meal, he wanted to tell the old man the truth several times and tell him about his genetic test results and his participation in the Universe Mercenary Alliance. However, seeing that the old man's physical condition was getting worse and worse, he was worried that it would stimulate the old man, and in the end he didn't say anything.

But what Ye Tian didn't know was that shortly after he left, the old man who was originally drunk and unconscious suddenly turned over and opened his eyes, his expression was very complicated, and he sighed quietly.

"I'm already ruined, but this child has suffered. It's rare that he has the will, but I'm very unsatisfied. When he was in trouble, he couldn't even pull him." The old man's eyes were red. In fact, he had already known Ye Tian's genetic testing results, and also knew that Ye Tian had just joined the Universe Mercenary Alliance. He had originally wanted to stop him, but after thinking about something, he finally lay down on the bed in depressed manner.

Because he has not had enough time, it is time for Ye Tian to get used to venturing alone. After all, only by facing the eagle bravely can it finally flap its wings and fly high.

After sighing, the old man turned over and took out another bottle of high-alcohol liquor from under the bed, poured it into his mouth with turbid hot tears mixed with the wine, and finally returned to silence.
