Sure enough, the blessings of a harmonious life are not that easy to enjoy.
"Sothing wrong?"
Gu Qingxiang asked.
"No!"
How could Lin Baici dare to say yes.
"Oh!"
Gu Qingxiang bent over, refilled Lin Baici’s tea, and then continued cleaning the house.
Lin Baici thought for a mont and decided to play it off: Just got back to Haijing. To celebrate the successful completion of the job, colleagues had a get-together!
Yan Yan Sumr: Ew...
Ji Xinyan even included a disgusted expression sticker.
Lin Xia Dai Yue Gui: I’ll keep you company tomorrow night!
The implication was that he wouldn’t be returning today!
Yan Yan Sumr: Tch, who even cares about your company?
Yan Yan Sumr: Enjoy your gathering!
Yan Yan Sumr: Jerk!
Looking at these two words, Lin Baici couldn’t help but smile wryly.
Just as he put down his phone, the tea girl sent another ssage.
Yan Yan Sumr: Drink less!
Yan Yan Sumr: Although socializing is inevitable, try to avoid full-service places!
Lin Baici felt that the tea girl’s words had a pointed reference. She said to avoid it, but not to stay away completely. What did that an?
Gu Qingxiang finished tidying up the living room, put on her coat, took a bag of cat food, and carried a garbage bag, ready to head out.
"I’ll throw it away!"
Lin Baici quickly got up to help.
"You just rest!"
Gu Qingxiang shook the bag in her hand: "I also have to feed the cats!"
"I’ll join you!"
With nothing to do, Lin Baici thought an evening walk might be nice.
Seeing Lin Baici’s insistence, Gu Qingxiang didn’t stop him.
The two of them went downstairs, threw away the trash, and then left the neighborhood, turning left.
Lin Baici didn’t ask where Gu Qingxiang’s cats were, just silently followed beside her.
Though neither spoke, the atmosphere wasn’t awkward at all.
The night breeze blew the scent of the counselor’s shampoo to Lin Baici’s nose.
’I wonder what brand it is?’
Lin Baici found it pleasant.
After turning from the main road into a small alley, the light dimd.
Gu Qingxiang walked more than thirty ters ahead, then stopped at a utility pole.
ow!
A stray cat jumped out of a nearby fence, walked to Gu Qingxiang, and rubbed its head against her pant leg.
Gu Qingxiang placed a small bowl with cartoon patterns, filled it with so cat food, and peeled a few sticks of sausage, breaking them into pieces and placing them inside.
ow! ow! ow!
Several stray cats appeared. Normally, they would rub against Gu Qingxiang’s pant legs, but today, with a stranger present, they were a bit apprehensive.
"Eat up!"
Gu Qingxiang urged.
"Do you feed them every day?"
Seeing these plump stray cats, Lin Baici surmised that Gu Qingxiang must have been feeding them for a long ti.
"Not often!"
Gu Qingxiang never considered bringing these strays ho, mainly because she didn’t know if Lin Baici liked cats.
Maybe one or two would be fine, but such a group would surely irritate him, right?
"I’ll accompany you to feed them in the future!"
Lin Baici squatted down to play with the cats. Soon, he noticed Gu Qingxiang looking around, searching for sothing: "What’s wrong?"
"A calico cat didn’t show up!"
Gu Qingxiang rembered that cat; its fur was the most beautiful and it was the most majestic, the king of the cats in this area.
"Maybe it went elsewhere to look for food?"
Lin Baici speculated.
After waiting for the cats to finish eating, they cleaned up and went ho.
Lin Baici still stayed in the small guest room. After taking a shower, the bed was already made.
"The blanket is so warm."
Lin Baici touched it, feeling comfortable.
"Rest early!"
Gu Qingxiang didn’t tell Lin Baici that she would sun his blanket every day.
...
Lin Baici’s life finally normalized.
If Ji Xinyan went to the villa, Lin Baici would go back; otherwise, he’d stay at Gu Qingxiang’s place.
During the day, Lin Baici wouldn’t go to school; he’d either accompany Hua Yue Yu or look for Xia Haengyun for training in combat, firearms, criminal investigation, and such.
In short, to learn a bit of everything,
No harm.
If Kim Myungjin cos over, Lin Baici will make ti to accompany her.
With Lin Baici being a part of Nine Provinces Dragon Wing and having taken down God’s ruins, such a great achievent, he has beco an absolute ace.
The Security Bureau wouldn’t dispatch Lin Baici for rule pollution with an intensity below 6.0, and they wouldn’t even dare assign it to Xia Hongyao.
Because they’re worried Xia Hongyao might call Lin Baici.
The Disney trip is also confird, set for next Sunday, about ten days away!
Ji Xinyan ntioned wanting to play a little ga with Lin Baici, which ended up being just wearing a collar, only in underwear and a trench coat, walking around the neighborhood.
The tea girl now has a good impression of Lin Baici, and if Lin Baici wants to play poker, she wouldn’t refuse, but Lin Baici held back.
He wants to find an opportunity to talk with Ji Xinyan about his life and their future together.
Given his current situation, he can’t stick with just one woman anymore.
...
Ti flows like a babbling stream, relentlessly carrying away laughter and cheers, tears and lants, washing away the youthful days as if they were faded walls in a middle school classroom.
Only the mottled scratches still hold the mories of the past!
Lin Baici seriously enjoys each day!
Apart from having too many won sotis, which can be overwhelming, everything else is pretty good.
Sunday arrived.
Early in the morning, Lin Baici waited at the main entrance of Haijing Polytechnic.
By 7:30, people started arriving one after another.
Most carried backpacks, filled and bulging with travel items.
Everyone wore their best-looking clothes, several boys had gotten new haircuts, and the girls started learning how to apply makeup.
Thanks to Ji Xinyan, an expert, Liu Zilu and the others didn’t make their faces look unnatural like other girls just starting to learn makeup.
Young people all want to show their best side.
A rcedes E300L drove over and stopped in front of everyone.
"Hey, Bai Ci!"
Qian Jiahui got out of the car and greeted Lin Baici.
"You look good, kid!"
Lin Baici knew Qian Jiahui hadn’t been coming to school often, preparing to be a father.
"Don’t ntion it!"
Qian Jiahui sighed, "I haven’t been to a bar in ages, today I have to really have so fun!"
"Jiahui, we’re going to Disney today!"
Fang Mingyuan reminded.
"I know!"
Qian Jiahui pulled out a pack of Zhonghua cigarettes, offering them around.
"Smoke less!"
Lin Baici advised, his comnt about ’looking good’ was just politeness, as Qian Jiahui looked like soone who smoked too much, like a pale sickly ghost.
[If it keeps smoking and drinking, living without restraint, in less than three years, sothing will go wrong with its body!]
Eater God comnted.
Qian Jiahui handed out cigarettes and was about to light one, but paused after hearing Lin Baici’s words, then put the cigarette away.
Everyone witnessing this was amazed.
Qian Jiahui was soone who didn’t listen to anyone, yet he listened to Lin Baici.
Everyone knew that in the entire class, the only person Qian Jiahui respected was Lin Baici, maybe Ji Xinyan too.
"Jiahui!"
Liu Yu greeted him.
Qian Jiahui glanced at Liu Yu without responding; he knew Lin Baici and Liu Yu had clashed verbally before, since then, Lin Baici had been ignoring Liu Yu.
Though friends can be made separately, Qian Jiahui didn’t want to annoy Lin Baici by engaging with Liu Yu!
Frankly speaking, Liu Yu doesn’t deserve it!
"Who else hasn’t arrived?"
Looking at his phone to tally the attendees, Lin Baici asked, "Pei Fei, who’s missing on your side?"
"Where’s Xu Daguan?"
Qian Jiahui glanced around but didn’t see Xu Daguan, swearing, "That guy must be waiting for everyone before showing off his car!"
Xu Daguan always loved to show off; he wouldn’t miss this chance.
Sure enough, with ten minutes left until the 8 o’clock eting ti, Xu Daguan arrived in his BMW 3 Series.
"Sorry, I’m late!"
Xu Daguan begged forgiveness, "To make up for it, I’ll cover the travel expenses today!"
Xu Daguan didn’t want Lin Baici to steal the spotlight!
The ticket cost is too high, but covering the travel expenses is manageable!
"Brother Qian, don’t compete with !"
Xu Daguan said to Qian Jiahui with hands together, giving him face, "Let have this chance to contribute to the class?"
"You rascal!"
Qian Jiahui laughed and cursed, not wanting to worry about such things, "Then I’ll take care of lunch for everyone!"
"Old White, let’s head out, et at the Disney entrance!"
Xu Daguan suggested.
Lin Baici said nothing, busy texting on his phone.
Soon, a luxury tour bus parked a short distance away started up and drove over.
