Men need to be tutored. If you only tolerate the other party blindly, either you’ll be crushed one day, like she is now, teetering on the brink of collapse. Or, you make them clearly see their mistakes. If they can change, then they do so. If they can’t change, and you can’t accept it no matter how much you lower your standards, then you have to leave it to fate. Dong Huiying was puzzled by something. Yi Ran was obviously not an ordinary person. This street was quite unusual as well. Previously, unaware that Shu Yu possessed inner strength, she had given Shu Yu many poisonous gu for protection, and Zhi Chen had also secretly sent people to protect Shu Yu. If Zhi Chen knew that Shu Yu was frequenting such places, he surely wouldn’t ignore it. After all, if something happened to Shu Yu, she wouldn’t be able to take it. Zhi Chen should understand this, so if he was aware, he’d surely stop or dissuade Shu Yu from associating with someone like Yi Ran, or at least inform her. However, until now, she had no idea there was such an enigmatic and bizarre place in South City. But Dong Huiying didn’t dwell on it for long. Even though she sat in one corner, appearing oblivious to the outside world, Shu Yu and Yi Ran didn’t avoid her when they talked. Every word of their conversation reached her ears, unraveling her inner enigmas and doubts. It turned out Shu Yu and Yi Ran met in another place, where the environment was relatively normal. Shu Yu played the guqin to make friends, initially just as a diversion to kill some time, but coincidentally encountered Yi Ran. Yi Ran was very discreet outside, and over time, the two grew closer. In fact, Shu Yu only learned about Yi Ran’s residence yesterday when Yi Ran had invited Shu Yu. This provided a reasonable explanation. Shu Yu said, "Yi Ran, you’re a witch, you’ve talked to me about witchcraft before. Now it seems my brother has been placed under a subterfuge, and I would like to ask for your advice." Yi Ran had an expression of wanting to speak but hesitating: "I... it’s not that I don’t want to help, but... I swore I would never touch witchcraft again. We chat casually, but those things were burned by me a long time ago. I... I don’t want to break my original promise. I’m sorry." Shu Yu frowned slightly but could only express understanding afterward. He hadn’t placed much hope in this to begin with; his bringing the wife master here actually had another purpose. "Then, could your people from the Witch Gu Clan introduce me?" Yi Ran silently looked at Shu Yu. Shu Yu calmly stated a number. "Ten days." Yi Ran wavered a bit. Shu Yu glanced at him, "One shouldn’t be too greedy." Yi Ran seemed somewhat displeased, "At least a month!" After seemingly considering it, "Alright." Yi Ran regretted immediately, a month? That’s not enough at all, he should have been bolder and said a year! But what to do after one year was a bit of a headache too. Yi Ran cautiously probed, "Can’t it be a bit more?" Shu Yu coldly stood up, "You’re too greedy, I don’t have the time to coax a child to sleep." His mouth twitched fiercely, and then he wilted.
