Looking at Bi Xia, who had just hung up the phone, ng Chi sighed softly and said pitifully, "Sigh, I didn’t expect you to be so ruthless now, boss. I’ve been so loyal, following you through all the dangers, and then you just push to take the bla from Bi Xiaoyuan without any warning."
Bi Xia spread his hands innocently, "If there’s a warning, how could it be considered taking the bla?"
ng Chi: ... That makes sense...
Bi Xia looked at ng Chi with a half-smile, half-not expression. Until ng Chi started to feel inexplicably guilty, Bi Xia raised an eyebrow and patted ng Chi on the shoulder, "Young man, your mood seems pretty good lately."
ng Chi: ???
Looking at the puzzled ng Chi, Bi Xia’s lips curled into a smile. He said nothing more and lifted the sunglasses from the table onto his nose, slinging a black backpack over one shoulder, "Let’s go."
"Let’s go for a walk," Bi Xia tilted his head slightly and raised his eyebrows, "It’s not often we co to Yan City. If we don’t explore properly, how are we making our plane tickets worth it, right?"
ng Chi: "... Explore? We’re not here to..."
"Shh..." Bi Xia placed a finger on his lips, winking with the eye not covered by the sunglasses, "Tomorrow is the eting, so today we’re just high school kids out to have fun. Tomorrow, we beco mbers of the X Group, ok?"
ng Chi: "...ok... I guess."
Pursing his lips for emphasis, he continued, "What are you standing there for? Let’s go."
Watching Bi Xia take the lead out the door, ng Chi tilted his head. He suddenly felt the urge to take out his phone and call Bi Xiaoyuan, like "Hey, Bi Xiaoyuan, look, it was your brother who wanted to join this wild adventure, I’m the real playmate here!!!"
Suddenly, the boy standing at the door turned his head, his gaze under the sunglasses looking over faintly. ng Chi paused, pretending nothing had happened, tilted his head, put on the sunglasses hanging around his neck, and quickly walked over to Bi Xia’s side, "Let’s go, boss."
Bi Xia: ...
ng Chi drove out the rental car they had booked in advance, and glanced at Bi Xia who was getting in, "Boss, where are we going?"
Bi Xia pressed down the brim of his hat, "To Antique Street."
"Antique Street?" ng Chi entered the destination into the GPS, "Boss, what are we doing there? Is it for Ancient Water Town?"
Bi Xia smirked, "You could say that, but our main goal is to find soone."
"Find soone?"
Seeing Bi Xia’s enigmatic smile, ng Chi shivered, paused, and finally shrugged. Fine, whatever the boss says goes, even if we’re looking for a beggar, there’s a reason for it.
But when they got to Antique Street and stood in front of a shabby little house, ng Chi twitched his mouth. Although he was okay with looking for a beggar, this seed a bit even less reliable...
Creaaak—
Suddenly, the door of that shabby little house slowly opened, just like a mystical effect seen in movies. There was no one at the entrance, but the mont the door opened, the scent of decaying wood wafted out.
Glancing at the empty street, ng Chi frowned, mustered up his courage, and stepped over the threshold. In that instant, all the lights inside turned on, revealing the interior arrangent to ng Chi.
ng Chi paused slightly, stood at the door for a mont, then opened his mouth, "Excuse , is Mr. Yao here?"
"There’s no Mr. Yao here, just an old man who’s seen through everything."
Hearing the voice without seeing the person, ng Chi finally sensed sothing was off. He looked up at his surroundings, "Excuse , are you Mr. Yao? Could you show yourself, please? Junior ng Chi would like to have a chat with you."
"There’s no Mr. Yao here," the voice responded, "Boy, go call your companion over."
ng Chi froze, quickly raised his head, and clenched his phone tightly, "How do you know?!"
At this ti, the boy in a white printed T-shirt and black ripped jeans stood there. It was a very ordinary sumr outfit, yet quite simple and cool.
Leaning nonchalantly against the jeep, his white baseball cap cast a shadow over his face. With one knee slightly bent, he had one foot in red sneakers resting on the wheel, one hand in his pocket, and the other holding a phone as he looked at sothing. The exposed red lips were pressed into a line, unexpectedly sexy and indifferent.
