Chapter 74: She Feels Bad for Him (Emotional Progress)
Hearing this, Ruan Yuntang was stunned, and the hand that was closing the car door for her paused noticeably.
But after a moment, Jiang Yubai closed the door as if he hadn't heard anything, turned around and got into the car. His movements were smooth and fluid without any disturbance.
The man was shocked by his calm expression, but after a moment he realized something and said sarcastically:
"I thought you were so kind and filial, but it turns out you were just pretending to be nice to that old lady just to have a bite of food!"
After saying that, he glanced at the pretty face in the passenger seat and reminded:
"Little girl, I advise you to stay away from this monster. He looks like a decent person, but he used to do anything to make a living. Now he's an officer, and he doesn't even go back to see the grandmother who raised him!"
Ruan Yuntang looked at the enlarged version of his familiar facial features, his eyes suddenly widened, and he looked at the person beside him in shock.
The next moment, the hum of a car engine suddenly sounded.
Jiang Yubai stepped on the accelerator and the car flew out with a "whoosh". The person leaning against the car window also staggered and cursed loudly.
"Jiang Yubai, you little bastard, you think you're so great, but didn't you just pick up the garbage I didn't want to eat before?"
"Old Madam Li has adopted you for several years in vain. You, an ungrateful bastard, don't deserve a home. You deserve to be homeless!"
…
The cursing behind her gradually disappeared, but it kept echoing in Ruan Yuntang's ears. Her pupils suddenly contracted and she was immersed in deep shock.
And she didn't notice the sudden drop in temperature in the car.
Jiang Yu's dark eyes stared straight at the crooked tree in front of him. Everything suddenly became blurry, as if separated by a thick layer of glass. All colors and outlines were distorted into strange shapes.
The only sound in his ears was the roar of his own blood gushing out, which made his temples ache. He clenched the steering wheel with his fingers and suddenly stepped on the accelerator to the floor.
After a long moment, he snorted silently.
He really doesn't deserve it.
The car's speed suddenly increased, and Ruan Yuntang's forehead brushed against the window. She came to her senses and looked at the tree she was about to hit in horror. She clutched her seatbelt tightly and turned around and said,
"Jiang Yubai, what are you doing? Stop it now!"
Only then did she suddenly realize that something was wrong with Jiang Yubai.
His face seemed covered with ice, his eyes were as dark as the abyss, empty and lifeless.
The look in the eyes of the little boy in the dream was exactly the same as the one before he closed his eyes.
Ruan Yuntang's heart skipped a beat, and he didn't care about steadying himself. He quickly grabbed his arm and shouted:
"Jiang Yubai, wake up! The car is about to hit a tree!"
However, her cries were of no use.
The speed remains the same.
The whistling cold wind hurt her face. She took a deep breath and said angrily:
"Jiang Yubai, you want to die because of a word from that bastard. How can you be so cowardly!"
"Where were those bold words you said back then, that as long as he survived, you would fill his body with sand? Were they just empty words?"
"Death won't solve the problem, it will only make your enemy happy for a few seconds. Is that what you want to do?"
I don't know what turned the valve, the car suddenly slowed down and stopped by the roadside.
Jiang Yubai suddenly came to his senses, his back leaning against the chair as a layer of cold sweat broke out.
He took a few deep breaths, and his hands gripping the steering wheel trembled violently.
After a while, someone suddenly handed me water and a handkerchief.
"Are you okay?"
The girl's gentle and caring voice reached his ears. Jiang Yubai instantly felt his throat itchy and his breathing became heavy.
He suddenly turned his head and looked at her with eyes that seemed to be burning with fire.
Ruan Yuntang's heart skipped a beat, and he subconsciously dropped the water and handkerchief and hid backwards.
However, the man suddenly reached out and grabbed her slender wrist, pulling it gently. Ruan Yuntang didn't expect him to do this, and fell into his arms without any preparation.
The distance between the two of them suddenly shortened, and the fresh mint scent and the strong mint scent intertwined ambiguously, lingering between their breaths.
Ruan Yuntang's body froze, and he tried to stand up but his wrist was still pinched.
The warm palm on her wrist, with thin calluses scratching her wrist, made her feel a little itchy. She stammered, "You...what are you doing?"
Jiang Yubai looked at her with his eyelids drooping. Seeing her slightly flushed cheeks, his eyes deepened and he stared at her addictively.
Those beautiful eyes, as black as obsidian, were staring at her affectionately at such a close distance, making her feel dazed and breathless.
After all, she has been single since birth. Who can stand this?
"I was distracted for a moment, thank you for reminding me." Jiang Yubai thanked him in a low voice.
"It's okay, it's okay." Ruan Yuntang shook his head and stepped back, trying to distance himself from him.
The next moment, the man suddenly smiled and leaned close to her ear, asking curiously:
"But how do you know about my childhood?"
His voice is low and seductive, so beautiful that it is intoxicating.
But it made Ruan Yuntang feel a chill down his spine.
Oops, I just told Jiang Yubai everything I saw in my dream in order to provoke him!
She blinked rapidly, thinking of an excuse.
Time passes in one second, two seconds.
Jiang Yubai's smile gradually faded, and his expression became colder and colder.
After a long while, Ruan Yuntang looked at him guiltily, and said a little embarrassedly:
"I'm sorry, my uncle was worried about me, so he asked someone to investigate your past in advance."
Jiang Yubai looked at her expression, which was hard to tell whether it was real or fake, and said with a half-smile: "I didn't expect your uncle to be so powerful."
"Of course, my uncle was a gang member after all!" Ruan Yuntang raised his eyebrows and blinked, "You know what, as a gang member, my uncle has followers all over the country!"
Jiang Yubai lowered his eyes.
This explanation is reasonable, after all, Ruan Fangnan loves his niece so much.
But I didn't expect that she already knew about the dirty things she did when she was a child...
But it was okay. She already knew about his desolate world and would never step into it, so there was no need for him to deliberately stay away from her.
Thinking of this, he should have breathed a sigh of relief, but his throat felt like it was being pinched by an invisible hand, and an indescribable tightness passed through his chest.
Ruan Yuntang just breathed a sigh of relief, but he inadvertently saw the gloomy expression of the person next to him. Thinking that his self-esteem was damaged, he hurriedly comforted him:
"Actually, you don't have to feel uncomfortable. I think you're pretty amazing, strong and hardworking. And I know you're not what that skinny monkey said you were."
Hearing the voice, Jiang Yubai's eyes fell on the girl's serious and determined expression. His expression changed slightly, and then he slowly lowered his eyes and asked casually:
"What am I?"
This question stumped Ruan Yuntang.
Before she transmigrated into the book, her impression of Jiang Yubai was that he was a good, kind, and beautiful supporting actor in his previous life, and later he turned into a dark, beautiful, strong, and tragic villain.
But now...
Her eyes were fixed on the man's delicate features. Even though it was very different from the original text, her "beauty" was undeniable.
Jiang Yubai was extremely eye-catching, the kind of beauty that could make people remember her at first sight even in such a gloomy era. She had high brow bones, deep eye sockets, and always looked at people with a distant and cold look.
Perhaps because she stared at him for too long, the man suddenly cleared his throat and coughed.
Ruan Yuntang suddenly came back to his senses and quickly said, "You are handsome... you are capable at work, good to your friends, kind and filial!"
The girl's crisp voice echoed in the car. Jiang Yubai's heart moved slightly. He looked at her with complicated eyes, and the light in his eyes flickered.
