Chapter 514: Existence Between to Be or Not to Be, Between Easy and Difficult

5:32p.m.

Gui Qianyi was looking seriously at the beaker in some room of the pet hospital.

The flame of the bunsen burner had been raised, so that the temperature would give the expected effect. Each action looked smooth and steady, as if he was performing a holy work.

Abruptly, Gui Qianyi opened his eyes, a cold light flashed over his eyes. He stretched out his hand from his sleeves. One could not believe that this turtle had acted so fast.

Gui Qianyi shouted, with his hand picking up a pair of chopsticks. He acted with lightning speed, stirring the noodles in the beaker!

Golden noodles had been rolled together, then pulled up suddenly. After getting rid of the extra moisture, it was thrown into another beaker.

“Listen, Ghost Baby, attention is a must when you cook instant noodles! And control the time. One minute more, it softens; but one less, it’s hard!” Gui Qianyi slurped the noodle, and instructed Ghost Baby.

“…”

Ghost Baby sighed and nodded, “Master Gui, as long as you are happy.”

Gui Qianyi asked while eating noodle, “Where’s Master Long?”

“She said she wants to take a stroll outside.” Ghost Baby said, “She went out half an hour ago.”

“She must be annoyed.” Gui Qianyi shook his head, but didn’t say anything more, “Oh, would you like sauerkraut noodles? Do you need me to cook them?”

“Master Gui, I’m not in the mood, don’t joke about.” Ghost Baby sat down and rolled up his eyes.

Just at that moment, a male monster in a black suit burst into the room with a worried look, “Master Gui, we picked up a letter outside.”

“Letter? What letter?” Gui Qianyi gaped.

“Don’t know, I didn’t open it.”

He added, “There’s no name, just a letter.”

White envelope without letters—Gui Qianyi frowned; he opened it and skimmed it through, then his face became grave.

“Master Gui, what does it say?” Ghost Baby asked curiously.

“Well…” Gui Qianyi look became more serious, “It might be from Wind… it asked us to go to Nanyun Town before 8 this evening, or we may only see a dead body.”

“Nanyun Town?” Ghost Baby frowned, “200km… Why did Wind go there?”

“I have no idea…” Gui Qianyi thought of how should he should handle it—it was not hard for monsters to travel 200km, but the point was he didn’t know Wind’s intention.

“Master Gui, should we go there?” Ghost Baby was confused, “Master Long hasn’t come back, how about we go have a look? Nanyun Town… I’m afraid it’ll be a trap for us.”

Gui Qianyi shook his head, “No matter what, we have to go have a look. We don’t know how many innocent monsters have been controlled by Wind. He’s demonized, so he may do things we don’t expect… No more waiting. Ghost Baby, take your people and follow me there!”

While saying this, Gui Qianyi turned to the male monster, “Take care of this place with your people. And inform Master Long when she comes back… In addition, pay attention to monsters here. If they became weird, use your violence to handle it.”

“I got it, Master Gui!”

Gui Qianyi took a deep breath and ordered after eating the last strand of noodle, “Get the car ready!”

He pushed open the door, walking towards the hospital gate in a hurry.

Now, the big-belly Shu Xiaoshu walked by with a pot, “Oh, Master Gui! Are you going out?”

Seeing her want to make a bow politely, Gui Qianyi waved his hand to lift her up, “You are pregnant, don’t mind the manners… but what are you doing with the pot?”

Shu Xiaoshu sighed, “I’m going to send some food to Cheese. He isolated himself for a whole day and didn’t eat anything nor say anything… I’m worried about him.”

“He’s young and confused with something.”

Gui Qianyi didn’t want to talk more, and just comforted her, “He’ll come out when he understood it. Maybe it will be a good experience for him. Monsters are different from humans, we have to face more problems and confusions than humans. Humans have short lives, but could get through it very soon; on the other hand, monsters’ brains grow slowly… Maybe God stopped us from becoming monsters. But if we passed the problem, we can obtain more. Cheese is very clever and has the gene of intelligence. I think he’ll become convinced in a short time, so don’t worry about him, just take care of the baby in your body.”

“I see, Master Gui.” Shu Xiaoshu made a bow reverently.

Then Gui Qianyi left.

Shu Xiaoshu soon came to Cheese’s room, knocking the door. The food she took this morning was still there; she sighed, changing it with the fresh food and leaving with the old one.

…

A mouse monster was sensitive to the smell of food… maybe it was the food his mother brought for him.

It was tired to sit for 24 hours on the stiff floor. If only he could skip the pain… If only he were a monster with a strong will and understood the regulations of society.

Cheese would sometimes read webnovels.

The protagonist had a good personality… from the very beginning.

He admired them… who could easily go through all the pain, loss, frustration, depression, and sadness.

One may project themselves onto that ideal state to escape from reality.

Cheese played around with the whistle. He was wondering if his father was still alive, whether he might give him some hints.

He put the whistle in his mouth sometimes, but didn’t blow it because he was worried about Iron Whistle, who may come to him following the sound, then get killed by Ghost Baby or other monsters. Or Iron Whistle may turn crazy and hurt all the monsters here.

Cheese heaved a long sigh.

He suddenly found that some words from Wind were right… he always thought about making every side happy in all aspects.

Everyone should be happy and live with joy.

‘But do I impose my will onto them? Do I force them to cooperate with me…’

“I don’t get it.”

Cheese lay on the ground; the cold floor could not calm him down, but made him agitated again after being alone for one day.

Cheese turned his body slightly… he felt something pressing against him. Subconsciously, he took it out from his pocket.

“It’s…”

An entrance ticket… Nini gave it to him.

“Won’t leave until we meet…”

…

…

7:33p.m.

The program would start in half an hour… one could feel the tension in the resting room.

Hong Guan listened for several minutes behind the door; he breathed deeply and hoped he could adjust his nervous emotions—before this, he had just finished the video call with his wife.

She encouraged him, but it was hard to calm down.

‘How did Yiran calm himself down before? Hong Guan felt absent-minded and thought of something useless.

Suddenly the door was knocked—it was Cheng Yun, who shouted directly, “Don’t stand there. Lucy, have you finished the makeup for everyone?”

“Ah, Manager Cheng, I’ve done everything, don’t worry… look, they are handsome right?”

Cheng Yun waved his hand, “I’m not interested in men… Well, you guys go out, leave me and Hong Guan alone.”

…

“Manager Cheng, what’s the matter?” Hong Guan asked.

Cheng Yun shook his head, and opened the door. Hong Guan saw his lucky star—Mr. Zhong.

He had the air of an aristocrat, which made him nervous.

Zhong Luochen came in with a bag, and passed it to Hong Guan. He smiled, “This was what Yiran asked me to give you.”

“The guitar…” Hong Guan opened it; he gave a start and looked at Zhong Luochen with confusion, “Why… did he give me this?”

“I think there must be some special meaning.” Zhong Luochen smiled, “But I don’t know about that, I just did him a favor… maybe you know it.”

Hong Guan held it tightly and said, “But… didn’t he come here?”

“He will come.” Zhong Luochen said gently, “The driver is going to him and will be here on time. He’ll watch you in the audience. Cheer up, I’m waiting for your performance.”

While Hong Guan said, “Mr. Zhong, if Yiran comes, may I talk with him… before the performance?”

Zhong Luochen said, “If he wants to, that’s not a problem.”

“Thank you…”
