Chapter 258

Translator: AlfredoPoutineSoup  Editor: DesTheSloth

At the Sheremetyevo International Airport, the deafening roar of the planes could still be heard despite one leaving the place already.

“Well, I’ve got off the plane and I’m picking up my baggage,” Luo Qiu said nonchalantly on the phone.

But endless questions followed from the other side, “Wait, how is the weather there? Did you take enough clothes? Do you need me to send you more? What about underpants? Are they enough … Hey! Don’t hang up on me!!”

Beep—!!

Standing beside Boss Luo was a young servant girl who was held a simple handbag. At that moment she smiled and said, “Miss Ren really cares about the master.”

Luo Qiu gazed at You Ye and said thoughtfully, “I sense something between the two of you. Did anything happen when you were in Lui Village?”

The loyal maid smiled faintly to this his question, “There’s nothing special, but Miss Ren taught me privately about something interesting.”

Luo Qiu asked curiously, “Oh? What can you expect her to teach you?”

You Ye took a glance at Luo Qiu and said smilingly, “Amazon, Cowgirl, well … let me think …”

Boss Luo sensed some degree of awkwardness— and yes, he was right.

He gently gave himself a face palm, as if nothing has happened, “Where’s the taxi you booked?”

“It’s right in front.”

As he observed You Ye leading the way, he suddenly chuckled… whatever it was seemed like a joke now.

And it seemed like this is the first joke from You Ye since he became the club’s boss.

Luo Qiu looked at the sky above Moscow and thought… perhaps it was because she has returned to this familiar place.

Wait, why did You Ye describe those nasty matters as…

Interesting things???

At Sheremetyevo International Airport outside Moscow, Boss Luo’s mind turned muddled.

“Is this your first trip here?”

The taxi driver was a talkative person…Luo Qiu nodded a number of times to keep the conversation going— he knew that the experienced driver could see him through the rear-view mirror.

“For work or travel?” The old driver continued to ask.

You Ye answered politely, “We’re tourists… by the way, will it be alright if you take another route? I think it would be faster if we go by the road near Petrov Theatre.”

The driver was surprised, but he didn’t look embarrassed. Instead, he laughed and turned the steering wheel and headed for the other direction. He made hay while the sun shined, “When talking about Petrov Theatre, you two shouldn’t miss the chance to see the ballet! My calling cards are in the bag. If you want the theatre tickets, I can get you good seats.”

“No thanks, but could you please stop at the theatre?” Luo Qiu said unexpectedly, “I want to take a walk there.”

“No problem!”

Soon after, the driver said goodbye and drove back to the airport in high spirits. He did not show any displeasure due to the small earning.

“Master, do you want to have a look inside?” You Ye asked gently.

Luo Qiu took a look at the surrounding landscape. He shook his head, “Well, all I wanted was to find a landmark or a building then take a picture of it, and while I’m at it, stop someone from talking excessively. Anyhow, I felt like this is the right stop for me.”

The servant girl looked puzzled… But she quickly understood.

Luo Qiu’s gaze fell upon the small square in front of Petrov Theater. Soon, he walked directly towards a bench near the square.

The benches were part of the public recreational facilities which can be found all around the place. There was also a small spray fountain at the centre of the square. With the surrounding tree shade, this was a good place for relaxation.

Luo Qiu suddenly stopped in front of a bench.

There was a woman with long chestnut hair. She was dressed in a white skirt. Sitting on the bench quietly, she didn’t notice him approaching.

“Excuse me, may I sit here?”

The woman was caught off guard. She looked up unconsciously to find a young man with an oriental face standing in front of her with a girl next to him.

“You guys…”

“We are just travellers,” Luo Qiu sat down and whispered, “We’re attracted by people who are in need.”

The woman fell silent for a moment before she shook her head and said, “But I’m not human, I shouldn’t exist in this world, but…”

She looked ahead in a daze. An extremely tall man was gazing at the spray fountain silently… he had probably been standing there for a very long time.

“Are you unable to let him go?”

The woman nodded but later shook her head. She was rather aloof. She turned to Luo Qiu and asked softly, “Can you really help me?”

Luo Qiu stretched out his palm, and the woman gave a start. After much hesitation, she extended her hand and her fingertips gently touched Luo Qiu’s palm.

It was as though she got an electric shock, the woman withdrew her hand at once with a slight hint of astonishment. “So… such a business still exists in the world?”

Unsure, she shook her head once again, “Still, if someone like me can actually exist…”

In an instant, it was as if the tall man has thrown something towards the fountain— it looked like a band of silver under the sunshine.

At that moment, an agitated look appeared on the woman’s face.

She even stood up.

However, after taking a deep breath, that tall man left. The woman lowered her head, and her hands were held at her chest. She sat down with a sad expression.

“That was your spiritual sustenance right?” Luo Qiu asked.

The woman nodded, “That’s the gift he gave me when we got married. I have been a Christian since I was a child, so he bought that necklace for me.”

She recalled yearningly, “Long, long ago, he told me that he was going to take me to this opera house. Actually we passed by here a number of times, but we couldn’t keep the promise for one reason or another. Eventually, I became unwilling to come here.”

Her voice became unusually tender and her eyebrows drooped, “But that fool comes here once every year.”

“However, he may not come back again next year, right?” Luo Qiu nodded.

The woman shook her head, “I don’t blame him, because I know, he does this for me, but…”

Suddenly, she became resolute. She looked up at the ‘traveller’ and said, “Please help him, he’s carrying too many things and he feels too burdened. He lives in his own cage, and he hasn’t been able to come out. And, he doesn’t get along well with our kid.”

After a moment of silence, Luo Qiu said, “You should think about it thoroughly. Because in terms of payment, you don’t seem to have anything else except yourself… perhaps you may choose to continue to exist in this way.”

The woman stood up and stretched out her hands. She smiled and asked, “Will it make them happy?

Rolling up his sleeves, Luo Qiu personally fished out the necklace from the fountain. He lifted it towards the sunlight. The water droplets on the necklace made it look brilliant. It was somewhat dazzling.

“A cross?”

Little by little, Luo Qiu cleaned up the necklace with a square handkerchief. He turned to look at You Ye, “I didn’t expect us to stumble so quickly into a business opportunity right after our flight”

Miss Maid was unruffled, but remarked happily, “Master is very lucky, this soul has a very high quality far more than those that you’ve gotten before.”

“Is this because of her belief?” Luo Qiu questioned thoughtfully.

You Ye took the necklace from Luo Qiu, checked it carefully, and said “Maybe we’ll get the answer until the deal has been done.”

Just then, a middle-aged man walked over with a briefcase in his arm.

He had an oriental face.

On such a scorching hot day, sweat droplets were dripping down the man’s hair. He asked, “Could you tell me where the two of you came from?”

He spoke with a Mandarin accent.

No matter what the man thought, Boss Luo had already gotten his own plan.

Luo Qiu smiled, “Well, gentleman, we want to take a photo together, can you please help us?”

“Of course! It’s a small matter!”

The man smiled enthusiastically. Taking out his cell phone, he took a few steps, made a few gestures and called out “Well, get closer… Oh, good, now say ‘cheese’!”
