Chapter 439: Chapter 197 I’ll take care of you!_1

At noon, Xia Hongyao took Lin Baici to a Cantonese restaurant called Yuezhilong, where they spent more than three thousand yuan on a feast.

Afterwards, she also wanted to go to the Dragon and Beauty Bar for drinks.

Today was the big day for High Ponytail to celebrate her promotion to deputy head, and she was very happy.

"I’m not going!"

In the afternoon, Lin Baici still needed to go to Gu Qingxiang’s to study Korean. Going there smelling of alcohol would be asking for trouble, wouldn’t it?

They had just said goodbye when he received a call from Hua Yue Yu.

"Xiao Bai..."

Hua Yue Yu only called out a name and then began to cry.

"Where are you?"

Lin Baici comforted her, "I’ll come to you!"

Hua Yue Yu gave a location, and Lin Baici quickly hailed a taxi and rushed over. When he arrived, Hua Yue Yu threw herself into his arms.

"Sob, sob, sob, Xiao Bai, I’m scared!"

Hua Yue Yu’s slender arms held onto Lin Baici tightly. Only his broad and sturdy chest could give her a sense of security.

"It’s okay now."

Lin Baici patted the back of the anchorwoman, "Are you hungry? Haven’t you eaten yet?"

"I want to take a bath!"

Hua Yue Yu quickly pushed Lin Baici away, embarrassed. When she woke up, she was already at the Security Bureau. Since Xia Hongyao had put in a word for her, the two staff members who questioned her had a fairly decent attitude. But Hua Yue Yu, who had been a good girl all her life, had never suffered such an ordeal. She felt like a criminal and was very panicked.

"Then let’s go home!"

Lin Baici hailed a taxi.

"Hmm!"

Hua Yue Yu, like a little wife, followed Lin Baici.

The anchorwoman’s home was in a villa district called Longjiang Jingyuan, which she rented.

Because streaming could be noisy, she was worried about complaints from neighbors, so she simply rented this detached villa that served both as her studio and living space.

When Hua Yue Yu returned, there were two girls in the villa, her assistant and camerawoman.

"You guys go back first!"

Hua Yue Yu sent them away, then poured Lin Baici a cup of coffee, got some snacks, and quickly ran to the bathroom.

But in no time, her screams could be heard.

"Ah!"

Lin Baici was startled and hurried over, knocking on the bathroom door, "Yue Yu, what’s the matter?"

"Sob, sob, sob, I twisted my ankle!"

Hua Yue Yu cried out, frustrated, as things had not been going smoothly these past couple of days.

"Do you need help?"

Lin Baici was concerned.

"Yes!"

The Little Merperson felt very weak now and wanted some company.

"Can you open the door?"

If not, he might have to break it down.

"Wait a moment!"

After more than a minute, the bathroom door opened.

Hua Yue Yu was damp all over, holding a towel with one hand over her chest and standing on just her left foot. Her delicate brows were knitted in apparent pain.

"Should I carry you to the bed?"

Lin Baici was embarrassed, not sure where to look!

"Dry me off first!"

Hua Yue Yu’s voice was as faint as a mosquito’s. After speaking, she lowered her head, her cheeks entirely flushed.

Oh no!

How shamefully embarrassing!

I clearly lack the disposition to be Pan Jinlian!

But Little Merperson, you need to be on your mettle. If you don’t act quickly, Jin Myungjin will snatch Xiao Bai away from you.

Xia Hongyao, with her D-grade intelligence, is not worth worrying about, but the pressure from that kimchi sister is immense. To be honest, even Hua Yue Yu was charmed by her.

"..."

Lin Baici was frozen in place, to wipe her? That may not be appropriate...

"Xiao Bai, I’m cold!"

Hua Yue Yu shivered.

"You’re not running a fever, are you?"

Lin Baici couldn’t bother with the decorum of not touching women anymore. He took a towel from the rack and quickly wiped the droplets of water off Hua Yue Yu’s body, then carried her to the bedroom.

"Where’s the thermometer?"

Lin Baici covered Hua Yue Yu with the blanket and touched her forehead with his hand, noticing it was a bit hot.

"We don’t need a thermometer!"

Hua Yue Yu held Lin Baici’s hand against her forehead, not letting him pull away, "Stay with me!"

"Alright!"

Lin Baici, with one hand, took out his phone, "What do you want to eat? I’ll order takeout!"

Hua Yue Yu shook her head, then moved aside to make space, and looked pitifully at Lin Baici.

What does she mean?

She wants me to lie down beside her?

Lin Baici was at a loss.

"Being a God Hunter is so dangerous, Xiao Bai, you shouldn’t do it anymore. I’ll work hard with my streaming, the money I earn will be enough to support you!"

Hua Yue Yu was genuinely scared.

Before encountering Pharaoh, although there were constant dangers, Lin Baici dealt with them all. His astonishing performances made Hua Yue Yu believe Lin Baici was born to be a God Hunter.

But after that literary youth appeared, everything descended into despair.

The monster was too strong. Zhang Heng and Fei Xiao were so formidable, yet they died as effortlessly as grasshoppers stepped on by children, without even a chance to fight back.

"Wuwuwu, I don’t want anything to happen to you!"

Hua Yue Yu cried her eyes out.

Having been saved by Lin Baici several times, the female broadcaster had already fallen for Lin Baici, or to put it another way, she idolized him and yearned to be with him.

Feeling Hua Yue Yu’s concern, Lin Baici couldn’t help but laugh, "I’m fine. I’m the super rookie with an annual salary of one hundred million, destined for Dragon Level!"

"Ah?"

Hua Yue Yu was startled, "You joined the Security Bureau?"

"Yep!"

After Lin Baici spoke, he saw Hua Yue Yu cry harder and suddenly stand up, embracing him.

"Don’t go, this profession is really too dangerous!"

Hua Yue Yu hugged Lin Baici tightly, "I can really support you. You don’t have to feel obligated to be with me just because I spend my money on you. It doesn’t matter who you like, really, I just don’t want anything to happen to you!"

"Thank you!"

Lin Baici patted the female broadcaster’s back, indicating for her to let go, but Hua Yue Yu didn’t. Instead, she hugged even tighter and, after crying for a while, she suddenly mustered the courage and kissed Lin Baici on the lips.

As the Little Merperson, today I’m going all out to get Lin Baici’s first kill.

Lin Baici was completely bewildered. He didn’t know what to do for a moment and pushed Hua Yue Yu away instinctively, fearing that one more step and they wouldn’t even be able to be friends.

On her knees, Hua Yue Yu looked up at Lin Baici, tears streaming down, "Do... Do you not like me?"

The broadcaster’s voice trembled, afraid of hearing a terrible answer.

"You’re not thinking straight right now!"

Lin Baici picked up the blanket and covered Hua Yue Yu, "I’ll go get you a cup of hot water!"

"Don’t go!"

Hua Yue Yu clung to Lin Baici, desperate for an answer now that things had gone this far, "How do you see me?"

"As a friend!"

Lin Baici’s response was decisive, "I don’t want to be in a situation where, regretting later, we can’t even be friends!"

"I won’t regret it!"

Hua Yue Yu looked into Lin Baici’s eyes seriously.

Lin Baici was silent, not knowing how to respond.

[What are you thinking? The delicacy is right in front of your mouth; are you still going to hold back? Eat her up!]

"Is it because you think my body isn’t good?"

Hua Yue Yu pouted, knowing this was her big disadvantage, "I might not have the curvy figure of Kim Myungjin, but I’m cute, right? I can be a legal loli. Whatever COS you want to see, I can wear it for you!"

If there was a guy who liked anime and enjoyed watching live streams, being confessed to like this by Hua Yue Yu would probably make him ecstatic, but for Lin Baici...

"You’ve just been through life and death; your emotions are unstable. Let’s talk about this after a few days when you’re calm, okay?"

Lin Baici consoled her.

"I don’t want to be your friend; I want to be your girlfriend! Your wife!"

Hua Yue Yu felt wronged.

"Are you really ready to be a wife?"

Lin Baici countered!

Hua Yue Yu initially wanted to say she was ready, but looking into Lin Baici’s eyes, she couldn’t articulate it, for she knew that while the words were easy to write, they were difficult to live up to.

"What if I were a jerk who likes a lot of girls?"

Lin Baici continued, "Would you still want to be with me then?"

"Do you like Kim Myungjin?"

After asking, Hua Yue Yu immediately regretted it, knowing such a question could lower her favor in Lin Baici’s eyes.

"I see her as a friend!"

Lin Baici sighed. If that weren’t the case, he would have slept with Kim Myungjin a long time ago.

For some reason, Lin Baici suddenly thought of Tea sister Ji Xinyan, seeming not to need to be responsible to her?

"Stop overthinking and rest!"

Lin Baici pressed Hua Yue Yu down and arranged the blanket over her, "Do you have any female friends? Could you call them over to keep you company?"

It wasn’t convenient for Lin Baici to stay here. In just a short while, he had seen everything he should and shouldn’t have.

He really feared he wouldn’t be able to hold back.

"I want you to stay with me!"

Hua Yue Yu covered her mouth and nose with the blanket, looking timidly at Lin Baici, "This is a little whimsical request of mine, can you fulfill it for me?"

"Okay," Lin Baici agreed.

But he was worried!

Should he just give in to his desires and be a jerk?

Hua Yue Yu had a fever; Lin Baici couldn’t leave and had to stay with her. In the evening, he received a call from Kim Myungjin.

"Where are you?"

Lin Baici explained briefly that Hua Yue Yu was sick, and he was keeping her company.

"I’m with my brother!"

Not seeing Lin Baici, Kim Myungjin felt somewhat disheartened, "I’m going back to Goryeo first!"

The two talked for a bit and then hung up.

The car ride was silent because Jin Xian was worried about eavesdropping and wanted Kim Myungjin to rest first. It wasn’t until they were on the private plane that he asked his sister about the God’s ruins at the museum.

"We encountered a God!"

Thinking now of that artistic youth’s appearance, Kim Myungjin still found it terrifying.

She recounted everything in detail, from going to the museum to see the exhibition with Lin Baici to the sudden eruption of the God’s ruins and the various rule contaminations that followed.

Jin Xian listened attentively.

Lin Baici had tricked the main members of the Lost Coast, played them like a fiddle, gained favor with a female scorpion monster, and finally killed the Pharaoh...

Although Kim Myungjin didn’t specifically praise Lin Baici or embellish his excellence, just recounting the events normally, Jin Xian already felt breathless with heartache.

Why such an impressive man wasn’t Korean?

Jin Xian was furious, wondering why the fate of the Nine States was so strong, always producing such exceptional talents. Did Goryeo really not have its day of glory?

Jin Xian knew that poaching Lin Baici was unlikely now, unless the Jiuzhou Security Bureau did something brainless to enrage him.

At the end of Kim Myungjin’s recount, she hesitated. She remembered Lin Baici seemed to have bitten the God, but as the words reached her lips, she remained silent.

She somehow felt that this was Lin Baici’s big secret.
