Chapter 98 The situation on Bai Yan's line becomes more chaotic
Bai Yan casually turned on the speakers in the car, and the boy's threatening voice came clearly from the speakers, accompanied by Fu Langshu's calm voice, "Xiao Yao, be polite."
He curled his lips and smiled: "Why do you suddenly care about me?"
As the elevator buttons clicked, Fu Haoyao snorted, "You're asking even though you already know the answer. Where are you taking Fu Liangxia?"
Bai Yan's smile widened upon hearing this, his pink hair twirling in the night breeze. He glanced vaguely at the girl beside him and said, "Why do you sound like I'm selling her out? It really hurts me. Our brotherhood of many years isn't as good as a girl I've only known for half a month. Xiao Yao is going too far."
Fu Haoyao gritted his teeth in anger: "You are the one who is going too far."
Knowing that he was looking forward to spending the evening with Fu Liangxia, she deliberately called her away. Just thinking about it made Fu Haoyao so angry that he could almost hang a bottle of oil on his mouth.
"Stop talking nonsense and give me the address," he said.
Bai Yan leaned lazily against the back of his chair, steering with one hand. "You know we're going to the Grand Theater to shoot, right?"
The fast-moving lights outside the car window shone obliquely across his profile, making him look rather reckless.
Fu Haoyao: "That's not the question. Which restaurant?"
Bai Yan immediately sighed, "I didn't know you loved studying so much before. You even asked your tutor for leave and went to have dinner with him."
Fu Liangxia next to him almost choked.
Bai Yan is really a bad guy. You can't tell that he is full of bad intentions.
"Hey, do you want to taste an athlete's fist?"
Fu Langshu's voice came from the distance: "Don't say those barbaric words."
"Got it," Fu Haoyao muttered softly. "If you don't tell me, I'll go ask Aunt Bai Luo for it. She's sure she knows where you're going. I hope it won't disturb her date with her girlfriend."
"Of course not, because they have broken up."
"Oh, so...wait, that Brooklyn? But didn't you say you still wanted her to be a model? No, now it's Fu Liangxia."
Fu Haoyao suddenly realized something and raised his voice, "Your aunt probably doesn't like girls younger than her, right?"
Bai Yan was slightly startled when he heard this, then smiled and said, "What are you thinking about?"
He is so cute, always saying things that are so unique and unexpected.
"Fu Er, you like Fu Liangxia too much."
Bai Yan casually threw out a surprisingly powerful sentence, which instantly caused the girl next to him to cough even harder, and Fu Haoyao on the other end of the phone to panic and exclaim, "What nonsense are you talking about?"
After saying that, as if he heard Fu Liangxia's voice, Fu Haoyao suddenly remembered something: "You are wearing headphones, right?"
Bai Yan: "No, it's on the external speaker."
Fu Haoyao: "..."
The next second, the call came to an abrupt end and was instantly hung up.
Bai Yan suddenly burst into laughter.
Fu Liangxia, who completely saw through Bai Yan's evil taste: "..."
I always feel that F4 usually behaves like a decent person to outsiders, but becomes childish as soon as they get together. Is this some kind of strange chemical reaction?
She glanced at Bai Yan, whose mood inexplicably improved after talking to Fu Haoyao, and frowned in thought. In comparison, Bai Yan seemed to be putting on a fake smile when he was in the company. Was he in a bad mood?
"Why are you staring at me? Do you think I'm going too far?" Bai Yan looked straight ahead and said, "Don't mind it. Fu Er and the others and I have always been talking in a nonsensical way..."
"You heard it." Fu Liangxia suddenly spoke, saying something completely irrelevant.
Bai Yan's expression froze for a moment before he asked, "What? Fu Er's words? Of course I heard them..."
Fu Liangxia turned her head, and a pair of eyes that seemed to be able to see through everything stared at him seriously. Only in the space between the two of them was a strange air flow generated by the silence.
As she turned her head, her hair brushed against Bai Yan's arm. Her eyes seemed to see through his disguise, and she said firmly, "You heard Brooklyn talking about you."
The air fell into dead silence.
Bai Yan didn't look at Fu Liangxia. He stepped on the brakes and stopped at a red light. His eyes were fixed on a certain point at the back of the car in front of him. After a long time, he suddenly stopped smiling and said, "Yes, I heard it."
He turned his head and leaned closer with an expressionless face. His fresh and delicate features magnified in front of her eyes, and without any expression, he seemed overly cold and unkind.
It seems that he is really as rumored, a madman who can kill people for his own emotions.
His eyes moved quietly, as if he wanted to find evidence of cowardice on her face, and then kill the queen who discovered the secret and showed fear like the king in Bluebeard.
"You're now alone with a potential murderer. I might drag you to some desolate mountain and dump your body there," Bai Yan's eyes darkened with scrutiny. "Are you scared?"
However, he was destined to be disappointed. Fu Liangxia's expression remained calm, as he said, "Let me remind you that the mountains within a hundred kilometers have all been developed into resorts or private villas. If you want to find a barren mountain, you'll have to drive at least three hundred and seventy kilometers to Desert Province. If I were you, I wouldn't choose a barren mountain to dump the body. It's such a waste of time."
Bai Yan: “…”
Don't say such things so calmly...
He seemed to be defeated by her, turned his head silently, and stepped on the accelerator: "It's boring, you are nothing like other people your age."
"Other people won't be scared by your words."
Fu Liangxia rolled her eyes. "Real murderers always strike directly. Who would threaten their target in advance and tell her 'I'm going to kill you'?"
After a moment of silence, Bai Yan raised his lips as if he was immersed in his own meeting. He smiled, but his eyes were filled with unbearable sadness. "Yes, who would deliberately threaten someone before killing someone? Even you, an outsider, know this..."
His voice became lower and lower, and the rest of the words were swallowed in his throat for some reason.
Bai Yan stopped talking and casually turned on the car radio, which happened to be reporting on Cheng Xingzhou's affairs. However, perhaps because it was entertainment news, the news angle was more focused on exploring Fu Liangxia and her family background and life experience.
Even though he was being gossiped about, the person involved could still listen calmly beside him.
Bai Yan: "These media are really annoying, right?"
He was not sure whether to change the channel, so he chose to use this method to inquire about the person's attitude.
"Very annoying," Fu Liangxia nodded, then raised her lips and said, "But this is also what makes her cute."
"Fame is a good thing for most companies, especially when it comes to gossip that can arouse public curiosity."
Bai Yan seemed to understand her implication and glanced at her through the rearview mirror: "The stock price went up?"
"Three percentage points."
Fu Liangxia smiled sincerely this time.
Bai Yan inexplicably relaxed the corners of his lips, and the atmosphere seemed to gradually become more relaxed as the topic changed.
Just as he drove into the gate of the restaurant courtyard, he heard Fu Liangxia suddenly whisper, "So you see, speech is like this. It all depends on whether you want to be manipulated by it, or be the one manipulating it."
Bai Yan paused, not knowing whether he was touched by her words.
Fu Liangxia tilted her head: "I know this may sound preachy and easy to say. But it seems that you have been letting rumors spread without doing anything."
"This is incredible given the power of the Bai family. Unless the other party is the president, I can't imagine why they couldn't curb public opinion."
"So it's actually you who's scared, right?"
Her voice was cold, but her words were sharp and to the point.
Although he didn't get much information, he unraveled the incident and exposed his false pretenses in a bloody manner.
His expression froze imperceptibly.
Fu Liangxia looked at him and said, "You're afraid that others will have opinions about you and hate you because of this incident, but you don't know what to do, so you make fun of Fu Haoyao."
"After I pointed it out, you were afraid of seeing my disdainful expression, so you deliberately took the initiative and pretended to be fierce."
Bai Yan's face was expressionless now. He stepped on the brakes hard, and the tires made a hideous sound as they scraped against the ground.
He stared at her, was silent for a moment, and suddenly said, "Go down."
There was suppressed emotion in his voice, as if she had touched his wound and he was angry and embarrassed.
Seeing this, Fu Liangxia just silently unbuckled his seat belt and prepared to open the door and get out of the car.
However, the next second, there was a "click" sound, and the car was locked from the inside, and she couldn't open the door.
A shadow came over from the left, and the boy's hand grabbed her wrist tightly and pressed her onto the seat.
The force was so strong that one could seem to glimpse the anger in the hand's owner's heart.
Fu Liangxia was pinned to her seat, unable to move, her hands shackled at her sides. She watched Bai Yan lean over and stop at a distance far smaller than the normal social distance, his cold, shallow eyes staring at her from top to bottom.
A dangerous aura surges.
Her expression remained unchanged, she simply said, "Are you not asking me to go down?"
Bai Yan chuckled softly, and slid his hand across her jawline, finally landing on her slightly raised neck. He lowered his gaze, his long eyelashes casting a faint shadow. "You really don't know how to live or die."
His hands slowly tightened, and there was obvious hostility on his face, as well as some other indistinguishable emotions.
"You used these little tricks to seduce them?"
"How ridiculous! You don't think you're special just because I'm being scolded like Su Xingshu, do you?"
The girl under him seemed to be having trouble breathing, her face was pale and she looked like she would faint at any moment.
Fragile as paper.
Seeing this, Bai Yan's surging anger and unknown emotions suddenly subsided. He loosened his grip, his eyes scanning the dark pinch marks on the girl's fair skin. He paused, then spoke with a hint of bravado: "Mind your own business, and stay out of the way."
He is different from them. He does not need others' pity and sympathy, nor does he need condescending advice under the banner of "good intentions".
Fu Liangxia looked up at him without saying a word. She only felt that the words "Bai Yan's favorability increased by 10" in her ears sounded particularly humorous.
So it’s not that they are not touched, but rather that they are shaken, which is why they are bluffing and acting in a cowardly manner.
Just this way of expression, she raised her hand to touch her neck, her eyes lowered——
Can be cured.
"Isn't this Bai Yan's car?"
As the atmosphere in the car was surging with undercurrents, a familiar voice suddenly sounded outside, accompanied by the sound of footsteps peeking over here.
The next second, Bai Yan, who had originally had a fierce expression, froze, as if he had just realized the ambiguous situation between the two of them. If someone who didn't know the inside story saw it, they would definitely think it was wrong.
He hated getting involved in trouble and subconsciously pulled away. However, the two were too close, and the button on his school uniform instantly caught a strand of Fu Liangxia's hair. As he moved, the hair became more and more tangled, and the more he moved, the deeper it became.
Bai Yan almost instinctively grabbed Fu Liangxia's shoulders and grabbed the messy hair with his other hand.
However, before he could adjust everything, the next moment, Fu Haoyao's figure appeared outside the car window, showing his athlete's speed to the fullest.
