Chapter 90: Chapter 90
"Hm?" The man raised his eyebrow leisurely, with a smile that was halfway between a smirk and a grin, "Help you with what?"
Dazhao’s mind went blank.
Is there anything more awkward than getting caught stealing a car just as its owner returns?
Dazhao thought, no.
But he’s a hooligan; he’s shameless.
So he let out a crooked smile, looking the man up and down with ill intentions, then spoke with a threatening tone: "Yo, perfect timing, this is a stick-up! Hand over the keys, this car is ours now!"
Bai Su, with one hand in his pocket, turned his refined and graceful face to the side and spoke in a languid and leisurely voice, "Little brother, someone’s trying to rob me, he’s so fierce I’m a little scared."
Next to him, Rong Zhi was preparing to put on a helmet: "..."
She glanced at Dazhao casually, speaking indifferently: "Haven’t seen you in a few years, you’ve become quite capable."
That unique voice.
That wilderness-like tone.
Dazhao was momentarily dazed.
The other three thugs had already huddled together in fright, the one called Gou Dan howled, "Dazhao, let’s run! Rong Zhi is back! If we don’t run now, we’re toast!"
A certain word in his speech was like a blow to the head.
Dazhao’s mind conjured certain images and his back suddenly felt cold, likely due to a fear carved deep into his heart that made him start shaking upon hearing the name.
He stiffly turned his body, inadvertently colliding with a pair of cool and mysterious fox-like eyes.
Look at that familiar face.
Isn’t this the infamous monster Rong Zhi from Luoxia Town!!
Oh hell!!!!
Dazhao was scared off his feet.
He jumped off the ground, only to bang his head against the Audi with such force that his forehead hurt immensely. Yet Dazhao couldn’t care less about the pain, and sprinted away.
While running, he shouted, "Oh crap, you jinx, don’t come after me!!"
Once he started running, his lackeys followed suit.
Screams echoed thunderously.
Rong Zhi clicked her tongue in annoyance.
So noisy.
Bai Su pondered for a moment.
Seemingly thinking of something, his eyes curved slightly, asking quite casually, "How did you know I was here? Coming over on your motorcycle, isn’t it cold at night?"
Rong Zhi, puzzled, put on her helmet and fastened the strap, her voice muffled through the helmet, "Your car is right here, pretty easy to find."
"Little brother is really smart."
She gave him a deep look, then, twisting the key, said, "Follow me, people will be coming soon."
Bai Su frowned.
Is it those townspeople?
Bai Su wanted to ask, but was afraid any question would hurt her, so he held back the words, opened the car door, and drove, following the teenager towards Zhou Yin Mountain.
Along the way.
Bai Su’s tightly furrowed brows never relaxed.
Family abandonment, town people expulsion...
Honestly wondering how she’s managed over the years...
Bai Su bit his lip at the corner, a hint of heartache and pity flashed in his eyes, mixed with some anger.
Luckily, the villa soon approached, and Rong Zhi stopped her motorcycle by the door, long legs grounded, dismounting with swift movements. She tapped on Bai Su’s car window.
"Just find a spot to park, nobody will come here at night."
There were a few households up Zhou Yin Mountain, some came to forge ties with Fu Liang, others were locals, but they knew the people in the mountain villa weren’t simple, so they dared not cause trouble.
Bai Su nodded, glancing around outside, spotting a white sedan, steering next to it.
After parking, he looked into the rearview mirror, noticing his collar had loosened a couple of buttons and appeared slightly crooked, probably from the fight.
Going out looking like this would likely leave a frivolous impression on the elders.
He straightened his collar slightly, ensured nothing else was amiss before grabbing the prepared gift from the car.
Rong Zhi stated expressionlessly: "You’re slow."
Bai Su lazily raised an eyebrow, dragging out a sound as if implying something, "Should I go faster next time?"
Rong Zhi seemed unaware of anything amiss, "Hm."
Inside the hall.
Although it’s not cold in the southern September, it’s fairly chill on the hill. Fu Liang suggested a hot pot, perfect for the temperature now.
Crabs were placed on the table, big in size, and the chicken soup wasn’t ready due to lack of time.
The hot pot base chosen was Yingyang Pot, half spicy and half fragrant. Rong Zhi arrived just as it reached boil.
The table also had freshly picked bok choy and various meats, with Xu Ningxing bustling in and out of the kitchen. Rong Zhi rolled up her sleeves and entered the kitchen.
"Senior sister, go sit and eat, it’s all done." Xu Ningxing halted Rong Zhi’s actions, speaking calmly.
Everything that needed preparing was mostly done, and his senior sister’s hands were too precious to do these jobs.
Rong Zhi inspected the kitchen a bit, ensuring no help was needed before leaving after cleaning her hands.
Fu Liang came up from the lab, his gaze swept over the imposing man in the room before looking at Rong Zhi.
"This is my tutor, named Bai Su." Rong Zhi placed the poured tea on the table and introduced earnestly, "My master Fu Liang."
Bai Su’s heart tightened.
Master?
Looking at the teenager’s attitude, this master must be very important to her.
Bai Su suddenly realized a question.
He bought gifts.
Thinking the little brother was meeting Rong Family’s relatives, seeing her indifferent attitude towards others, he casually chose some. But now, have they become too light?
Bai Su calculated his approach internally, his gaze meeting Fu Liang and the youth’s natural interaction, speaking softly yet courteously, "Hello, Master."
Rong Zhi: "?"
Fu Liang: "?"
Xu Ningxing, just about to call everyone for dinner: "?"
So, where did this man come from?
Xu Ningxing frowned, staring at Bai Su.
Fu Liang, momentarily dumbfounded by the "Master" title, looked at Bai Su’s calm face, smiled, and asked, "No problem, many call me Master."
However, when they do, there’s usually a "Fu" prefix added, unlike Bai Su’s straightforwardness.
Fu Liang felt something amiss.
Bai Su wanted to speak, but upon hearing Fu Liang’s words, she pressed her lips, falling silent.
Xu Ningxing vigilantly fixed his gaze on Bai Su, the latter responding with a distant smile.
Bai Su slightly curled his lips, elegantly and gracefully, impeccable in manners.
"..."
Danger.
Xu Ningxing’s mind blared alarmingly.
His icy cold demeanor showed rare impatience, bluntly ignoring Bai Su, addressing the other two: "Master, Senior Sister, let’s eat."
As soon as the words dropped, Fu Liang sensed a subtle shift in the atmosphere.
Bai Su’s alluring eyes lightly glanced, subtly pressing his knuckles with a gentle crack, his gaze fixed on the youth’s mischievously near-demonic face, lips curling, eerily uttering, "Senior... Sister?"
He deliberately dragged the ’sister’ word, lifting the tone lightly, turning an ordinary title into something infinitely flirtatious.
Rong Zhi’s eyes snapped shut.
She knew it.
Once Bai Su came to Luoxia Town, hiding his identity would be impossible.
Just didn’t expect... it’d be revealed so soon.
Thought he’d find out only tomorrow at the earliest.
With her brow slightly furrowed, she opened her eyes, meeting Bai Su’s gaze silently, a long pause, then tiredly rubbed her brows: "Master, go ahead, you come with me."
