"I reminded you with my eyes."
"When? Why didn't I receive it? Was it in my dream?"
"When you looked at the White Dew again and again."
"Oh...I see! It's alright then, I don't blame you. After all, this little treasure is so beautiful, and what she did was so unique, righteous, kind, and heartwarming. Anyone would be captivated by her..."
When Bai Lu said she would give the mute woman barbecue and mooncakes, she wasn't joking; she really meant it.
Xiao Cheng had no objections.
He recognized the mute woman; she had just baked a lot of things for Bailu, and Bailu gave them to him since she didn't mind.
Xiao Wei also gave two large chicken drumsticks as a gift.
Shang Chuyao gave two strings of large chicken wings as a gift.
Xiao Dazhuang gave three skewers of grilled snails as a gift.
Luo Shiliu gave three large crabs as a gift.
Zhang San and Li Si each gave three grilled sausages as a gift.
Li Jianfeng gave three five-nut mooncakes as a gift.
Wu You also gave three five-nut mooncakes as a gift.
The mute woman, overwhelmed with gratitude for everyone's kindness, bowed deeply, unable to speak.
However, before his hunched back could bend even an inch, he was lifted up by Bai Lu's soft and warm hands.
The mute woman's son, not seeing his mother return home for a long time, went out to look for her. He learned what had happened from the neighbors and found the mute woman, just as Bailu was helping her up.
After bowing in thanks, the mute woman's son, carrying the gifts from Bailu and the others, helped her slowly walk through the bustling crowd and head home.
After everyone had eaten and drunk their fill, released their sky lanterns, made their wishes, and happily went home.
...
Xiao Cheng bought a new car the very next day.
I was completely bewildered throughout the entire White Dew season.
She thought that Xiao Cheng would go to the store to learn more and test drive the car before making a purchase.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Cheng woke her up early in the morning with a kiss and asked her to go with him to Nanshi to buy a car.
To blatantly trespass into the territory of the four major powers—this incredible audacity and cunning undoubtedly belong to a big shot.
But he can also be childish at times.
For example, he would insist that she wear clothes he bought to go out, and it had to be a dress.
She changed one outfit after another, but he was never satisfied.
Finally, she changed into the bright red silk dress he had given her when school started.
Only then will the big boss be satisfied.
He ruthlessly refused Xiao Wei and Shang Chuyao's offer to accompany him, and instead took her out to take a taxi.
Upon arriving in Nanshi, I went directly to the car dealership to pay and pick up the car.
He even abandoned the taxi and its driver, Li Si, on the spot and personally drove her home.
"You can't do this, boss. You haven't taken your driving test yet. Driving without a license is not allowed. You haven't even practiced driving..." Before Bai Lu could finish speaking, Xiao Cheng picked her up and put her directly into the passenger seat.
He used the seatbelt to restrain her struggling hands, and his cold lips silenced her incessant chatter.
She finally let go when she saw people passing by and, fearing being discovered, stopped struggling.
"I can drive."
Xiao Cheng fastened Bai Lu's seatbelt and replied in a completely serious tone to reassure her.
Bai Lu gripped the seatbelt tightly, still a little worried: "But you've always driven brick cars before, you've never driven a car like this before, are you sure you'll be okay...?"
"Say it again." The man who had just sat in the driver's seat turned his head slightly, and a dangerous aura lingered in the air inside the car.
It instantly enveloped the entire carriage.
Bai Lu felt a slight pain in her lips and then remembered that men don't seem to like being told they can't do it.
Especially the person you like.
But this is really not good; she should be a law-abiding citizen.
A dangerous aura suddenly approached... "Okay, okay, you're great! You're awesome! You're the best!"
Xiao Cheng grasped the girl's small fist gripping the seatbelt: "I don't like hearing that, okay?"
My palms feel a little cool during the White Dew season.
A wise person is one who is decisive and knows when to yield. Let's remove phrases like, "You're great! You're capable! You're the best!"
The boss was satisfied and released her hand.
He calmly sat back in the driver's seat and started the engine.
The boldest and craziest thing Bai Lu ever did in her life was riding in Xiao Cheng's car.
She became his first passenger in the co-pilot's seat.
However, she felt more panicked than happy, more nervous than excited, and more terrified than surprised.
She had essentially entrusted her life to Xiao Cheng.
To be honest, I'm a little reluctant to let her go. She already had a driver's license in her previous life, so maybe she should drive instead.
Just as those long, slender hands with distinct knuckles gripped the steering wheel, Bai Lu decisively spoke up: "A-Cheng..."
"Is the passenger seat uncomfortable and you want to sit on their lap?"
The big shot's tone was chilling, with no hint of joking, and his sidelong glance was even more icy.
He stared intently at her hand gripping the seatbelt.
Bai Lu decisively let go.
She casually tucked her hair back.
She had been sitting upright, but leaned back slightly and turned her head to give him a sweet smile.
"I just wanted to remind you to watch the traffic lights... I'm fine in the passenger seat, it's very comfortable, so there's no need to switch. You can drive with peace of mind!"
Xiao Cheng glanced sideways; sunlight streamed in through the car window, illuminating both him and the girl.
Her eyes were smiling, her crescent moons perfectly formed, and her soft, boneless hands gripped her dress tightly, causing wrinkles in the silk fabric. Her nervousness was all too obvious.
Xiao Cheng chuckled: "Afraid?"
Bai Lu watched as his hands rested on the steering wheel, tapping rhythmically and gently, as if a hammer were striking her heart.
To be honest, it would be a lie to say I'm not afraid.
"I'm not afraid."
Bai Lu replied seriously, "I'm just a little nervous."
Xiao Cheng believed her, so he held her hand with his right hand and placed his left hand on the steering wheel.
Careless... leaving everyone else in the dust.
The car suddenly veered off the main road.
