Chapter 334 Yes, yes, yes
Bai Lu turned around and smiled at Xiao Wei.
In a gentle tone, she said, "Your brother and I have something to talk about. Go back to sleep. Don't worry, I won't leave."
Xiao Wei was a little worried.
But seeing that Xiao Cheng only pried Bai Lu's fingers apart and didn't push her out the door, and that the force he used wasn't even half as strong as usual, she gradually relaxed and loosened her grip on her clothes.
"I'll go back to sleep now. Call me if you need anything, sister-in-law."
"Mmm~ Goodnight."
Goodnight, elder brother and sister-in-law.
Bai Lu loosened her grip and effortlessly pushed Xiao Cheng into the room, then closed the door.
"If you keep acting up, I'm leaving right now."
Xiao Cheng stopped his movement as he was about to grab her and let go of her, glaring at her fiercely.
He turned his back and said, "It's dark now."
Today is still the Ghost Festival in July, and candles are stuck on both sides of the road, their flames stretching as far as the eye can see.
People were burning paper money at the crossroads.
A chilling wind blew, enough to frighten even a three-year-old to tears, let alone someone who's afraid of even mice.
"What are you angry about?" Bai Lu poked his arm, asking with a puzzled expression.
Why do people say I'm two-timing?
Xiao Cheng didn't turn around, but moved away, refusing to let her touch his arm, and still said angrily.
"Lulu is two-timing!"
Bai Lu guessed that he was only thinking about two things at this moment: "Yes, yes, I'm two-timing."
"Take down the big shots by day, and the kids by night."
The child turned around in shock: "You actually cheated on a child? You're juggling three relationships?!"
Bai Lu stared at him, his pupils dilated in shock, his eyes wide open, as if he were seeing the sun colliding with the moon.
I couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Then they were kicked out of the house.
"You...you're leaving tomorrow morning! Leaving as soon as it's light. I don't want to see you again!"
"Don't knock on the door again!"
"You're not my Lulu. Lulu wouldn't cheat on three men at once. Lulu isn't as fickle as you!"
Bai Lu has seen people whose joy turned to sorrow, but she has never seen anyone whose joy turned to sorrow so quickly.
This person was herself... She was too hasty; she should have locked the door before discussing things.
After staring at the closed door for three seconds, Bai Lu sighed and turned to leave.
The next second, it appeared outside the window.
"Thump—"
"Knock knock—"
"Knock knock knock—"
Inside the room, Xiao Cheng covered his ears and paced back and forth, flames burning fiercely between his brows. His gaze swept across the room, and the sea of fire engulfed the windows, crackling and popping.
"Knock knock knock—"
The dark green double windows creaked.
Bai Lu instinctively stepped back, afraid of being knocked away by the violently pushed-open window.
Unexpectedly, although the window was pushed open forcefully, it did so slowly, gradually opening.
There is no possibility of hitting or knocking someone down.
His handsome face, though exposed, remained cold and angry; he frowned and gave her a fierce look.
With a pull, he slammed the window shut...
Bai Lu reached out her hand.
The window stopped abruptly, just centimeters away from trapping her hand. A hint of tension flashed across the child's angry eyes.
Then she got even angrier: "Who told you to put your hand over there? What if you pinched it... or broke the window?!"
Bai Lu: "I'll pay for it if you break it."
Xiao Cheng: "..."
He turned his head away and ignored him.
They ignored the window.
Bai Lu reached her hand inside, over the rusty iron railing, and tugged at his sleeve: "Go open the door quickly, otherwise I'll stand here all night, and I'll probably catch a cold from the night wind. If I catch a cold, I won't be able to leave tomorrow."
He might have been concerned that she couldn't leave, but he wouldn't open the door; he just grabbed a blanket and shoved it out.
"You can stand there all night if you want, I won't open the door."
Then why did you hand me the blanket?
"The blanket is yours; you didn't put it in your bag."
Bai Lu said "Oh..." and took out a white blanket from between the narrow railings.
Surprised and saddened, she said, "I didn't intend to leave, and I didn't pack my bag... Didn't you pack it?"
The angry child only heard the last sentence and pulled the blanket back with one hand: "Fine, I won't pretend then."
Bai Lu stood in the wind, her hair disheveled by the wind, and the thin sleeves draped by the window swayed in the breeze.
"What if I catch a cold? If you don't give me a blanket, just let me into the room."
"It's so hot..." He turned around and paused.
The word "sky" and the words that followed disappeared into the blanket that was handed out again.
Her eyes, blazing with anger, repeatedly reminded him that he was still upset: "I've already given you the blanket. You're leaving tomorrow morning, you two-timing philanderer."
Bai Lu was so angry she laughed.
"Besides you, what other ship do I have?"
Under the bright moonlight, she held the blanket but didn't cover herself. Her smile was as cool as the night breeze. Her eyes were upturned and slightly narrowed, her gaze containing the bright light of the Milky Way. She stared at him without blinking, with a hint of scrutiny.
It felt like interrogating an unreasonable, disobedient child.
The child clenched his fists, the stubbornness and reluctance in his eyes rising uncontrollably: "I saw it all!"
"Lulu went home with other people and filled out the application for the same school as them. She has been accepted and will be going to university in Guangdong Province with them!"
"You promised to wait for me to come home, but you broke your promise and went home with someone else... You promised to build a big house for us to live in, but you went to the same university with someone else..."
The anger gradually turned into sadness; he loosened his clenched fist, then clenched it again.
His stubborn back was like a lonely figure in the dark night, exuding an aura of anxiety and rage, as if he had just escaped only to be pushed back down.
"Lulu will never come back..."
This was the first time Bai Lu had ever seen such an insecure side of the proud and domineering child.
She knew how capable he was.
Those in positions of power possess exceptional problem-solving abilities from the outset, exceeding those of ordinary people. They remain calm and rational in the face of adversity, unfazed even by the collapse of Mount Tai, and have everything under their control.
The success of business tycoons can be found in their daily lives.
A leader among the crowd, the alpha wolf among the unruly wolves, must possess the ability, courage, boldness, and wisdom to win people's respect.
The only thing missing is emotion.
Things we haven't experienced before always fascinate us, sparking curiosity, a desire to explore, a liking, and a yearning to possess.
From being clueless and ignorant for the first time to becoming experienced, there is a period of reckless and awkward naivety in between.
The nervousness and stumbling were because I liked him, which made me care, overthink, and not know what to do.
Bai Lu and Xiao Cheng were both experiencing their first relationship. She didn't understand the profound truths, but she knew that misunderstandings should be resolved immediately, otherwise they would spoil if left unresolved overnight.
"Who says I won't come back? My home is here. Where else would I go after school if not home? Open the door first."
"Let's go inside and talk about it. I'll tell you everything you want to know."
Xiao Cheng turned to look at her.
His gray eyes were veiled by a light mist, making it impossible to discern his emotions, yet his gaze remained fixed.
"hurry up."
Bai Lu puffed out her cheeks, looking like an angry little pufferfish: "If you don't open the door, believe me, I'll make you eat chili peppers tomorrow."
Xiao Cheng doesn't remember what it felt like to eat chili peppers.
But I want to hear the explanation from that womanizer.
Then the door opened.
