Bai Kai didn't let go of Lu Yibei in the end, but instead left the complex with him, arm in arm.
After having his face remembered by the cleaning lady, Lu Yibei's mood could no longer be described as simply messed up.
For the first time, he deeply understood the harm caused by the side effect of devouring the core of a Strange Tale's body. If this continued, he suspected he would eventually be butt-raped by Shui Ge.
Even if the person was a handsome gay man, he couldn't accept something like this!
Or perhaps...
What if I just don't change back? Anyway, Shui Ge doesn't actually like women.
No, no, how could I have such a strange thought about giving up my masculine prowess? This must also be a side effect! Lu Yibei thought.
He vaguely felt that resolving the effects of this side effect had become a serious matter of urgency.
Him falling into the awkward situation of being harassed by Shui Ge was just the beginning. If he couldn't quickly digest it, in the days to come, she might die at the hands of a Strange Tale because of this side effect. ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com
While Lu Yibei was thinking, Shui Ge's voice suddenly came from beside him.
"Xiao Bei, you're really tsundere. Can't you be a little more straightforward and say what's on your mind?"
Lu Yibei gave Bai Kai a blank look and said expressionlessly, "What's on my mind? What's on my mind is, why don't you die sooner? My Old Dad is probably quite lonely underground; you can go down and keep him company sooner."
"When that happens, I'll play some upbeat music, hire some black brothers to carry your coffin, buy a plot next to my Old Dad's grave, and give you a grand funeral with a professional team."
"You're starting again!" Bai Kai said with a pout upon hearing this. "Can't you say something auspicious?"
Lu Yibei said expressionlessly, "If you act like a decent human being, I can say auspicious things. Not only can I wish you a long life, wish you many descendants, ➤ NоvеⅠight ➤ (Read more on our source) and wish you a place in history, but I can also wish you to be gender-bent into a beautiful girl after death and put into a gacha pool."
"Alright, stop talking nonsense. Tell me! Why did you come looking for me so early this morning?"
"It's nothing really." Bai Kai said with an awkward smile. "Can't I come see you even if there's nothing?"
"Oh, okay, then I'll head to school. I'm going to be late." Lu Yibei said seriously. "You know me, I especially love to study! I've had a dream since I was little: to study for the rise of China."
"There is something, there is something!" Shui Ge said quickly upon seeing this. "I wanted to say, the world seems to be getting increasingly unstable lately. Do you want to move in and live with me?"
"..." Lu Yibei looked at Shui Ge expressionlessly, tilting his head. "I think you're messing with my mind! It's not like I haven't stayed at your place before."
In fact, for a period right after Lu Yibei was discharged from the hospital, he did stay at Bai Kai's house for a while, thinking that more contact with familiar people would help his inner trauma heal. Who knew that after going there, the trauma didn't heal, but instead, more wounds were added.
That guy Shui Ge lives completely without regard for public order and good morals, bringing different beautiful Misses home every few days and conducting military exercises next door.
Who the hell can stand this? Have you considered the feelings of a single dog?
What's more...
If he lived at Shui Ge's place, when his body started to feel strange every evening, it would be hard to guarantee he wouldn't be discovered.
Although he's hiding something from me, he is a member of the Night Watch after all. He might report me then. Lu Yibei thought.
"No, no, this time as long as you come over, I can give up the 'rolling red dust' and not bring anyone back!" Bai Kai explained.
Upon hearing this, Lu Yibei instantly felt goosebumps all over his body. "Don't! Don't be like that, you're still my respected elder! If you insist on being like this, I can only see you as a shameless person."
"But..." Bai Kai mused for a moment, his expression turning serious. He looked into Lu Yibei's eyes with rare earnestness, making it feel as if he would passionately demand a kiss the next moment.
Alright, Shui Ge could never be taken seriously in Lu Yibei's heart.
"Xiao Bei, I know you don't really like me, but I'm protecting you."
The Eclipse Society has been getting more active recently. Xiao Bei's situation will likely become increasingly dangerous. Only by keeping him by my side at all times can I feel at ease.
These were the words Bai Kai didn't speak aloud.
Upon hearing this, Lu Yibei was startled for a moment, then as if remembering something, he counter-questioned, "Don't you think excessive protection isn't good? Why don't you teach me how to protect myself instead?"
He was probing, testing whether Shui Ge would confess his identity as a member of the Night Watch.
But... Shui Ge still didn't seem to have any intention of telling him.
"Alright, what do you want to learn? Free combat or Muay Thai? I'll sign you up for a class?" Bai Kai brushed it off with a joke.
"What if I want to join a certain mysterious organization? A formal one." Lu Yibei pressed further.
"Then... Ha, haha!" Bai Kai gave two dry laughs. "Then I'd have to help you investigate thoroughly first to see if there's anything harmful to you in that organization."
"Oh right, what's the name of that mysterious organization you mentioned?"
Bai Kai turned the tables. Lu Yibei had seen the contract he signed back then; he remembered that privately revealing the existence of the Night Watch was considered a serious violation of regulations.
"..." Lu Yibei was silent for a moment, then shrugged expressionlessly. "I just said it casually."
It seemed he was determined not to admit it. Lu Yibei thought, then he could only see if he could go through Jiang Li or An Qing.
After a brief exchange, Lu Yibei got into Bai Kai's car and drove with him towards Huacheng Institute of Technology.
Although he really didn't want to sit in that car filled with cosmetics, whose scent was sickeningly sweet, he was really about to be late, and... frёewebnoѵēl.com
Yun Meng and Liang Yue wanted it!
They loved cosmetics!
Damn it! Am I really going crazy? Lu Yibei thought.
Just as that flashy indigo-purple Beetle car slowly drove away from Jingyi Apartment Complex, a beautiful girl wearing a baseball jacket with a camera hanging around her neck appeared in front of the complex gate, on the bustling street in the early morning.
She held a piece of paper with an address on it, looking around with a lost expression, occasionally stopping pedestrians coming out of Jingyi Complex to ask questions.
She looked exactly like a fallen Miss searching for the heartless man who left her with a child and disappeared into the crowd.
"Excuse me, have you seen a Miss with pinkish-white long hair? She's about this tall and might be wearing a very loose windbreaker."
"Sorry, I haven't."
"Excuse me, have you seen..."
"Move aside, don't block the way!"
"Hey! You... Sigh!" Looking at the indifferent pedestrian walking away, the girl sighed powerlessly.
What did that Expert do to me! Why can I see strange things everywhere as soon as I wake up?
The girl was Du Sixian. She felt she was also going crazy.
It took her a lot of effort to ask Uncle Zhang Shan for the place where the Expert last got off the car. She followed the clues and searched, but found that no one in the vicinity had seen a girl with such pinkish-white long hair.
Perhaps, I shouldn't be looking for any Expert here, but instead go see an ophthalmologist? Du Sixian thought, reaching out to stop a taxi passing by.
