Liu Xiaoyuan desperately wanted to catch that thing with blood-red eyes, skin it, and barbecue it.
However, reason told Liu Xiaoyuan that in the pitch-black night, in the mountains and forests, he simply couldn't catch it.
"Damn it, one day I'll definitely catch you, you bastard!" Liu Xiaoyuan vowed in his heart.
Standing here now, I'm not angry at all; I still can't catch a single hair on this thing.
So, Liu Xiaoyuan glared at the thing, then turned and walked back without looking back!
The creature with blood-red eyes, seeing that Liu Xiaoyuan was no longer playing with it, actually barked loudly twice, as if saying, "Play with me a little longer, play with me a little longer..."
Liu Xiaoyuan didn't even bother to turn his head and kept walking forward!
The thing jumped down from the tree, walked to the vegetable garden by the hillside, picked up a pebble, stood up, and threw it at Liu Xiaoyuan.
Holy crap! This is infuriating!
Liu Xiaoyuan really wanted to turn around and launch a counterattack, but he knew that if he did, this would go on and on, and he would be made a fool of!
Suppressing his anger, Liu Xiaoyuan didn't turn around and continued walking forward.
After throwing down two more clods of dirt, the creature noticed that Liu Xiaoyuan ignored it. Disappointed, it let out a cry, then watched Liu Xiaoyuan's retreating figure until he disappeared from sight. Only then did the creature, utterly bored, walk into the mountains.
When she got home, her parents and Wang Xueqi were already asleep.
Lying in bed after taking a shower, Liu Xiaoyuan thought about his relationship with the three women: Lu Siyao, Yang Zihan, and Tan Wanyi.
Liu Xiaoyuan hadn't thought about it much before, but now that he's thought about it, he realizes that he really has been playing the field.
If Liu Xiaoyuan were to choose one of these three women to date and cut off all contact with the other two, he really wouldn't be able to make that decision.
"What the heck! Am I really a womanizer?" Liu Xiaoyuan asked himself as he lay in bed.
"No, how could I be a philanderer! A beautiful lady is the object of a gentleman's affections!" Liu Xiaoyuan defended himself in his heart.
Before he knew it, Liu Xiaoyuan had fallen asleep. When he woke up, it was already broad daylight.
Liu Xiaoyuan opened his eyes, stretched, and then picked up his phone from the bedside table. It was already 6:20 in the morning.
Liu Xiaoyuan sprang up from the bed in a flash, got dressed, and went downstairs.
"Brother!" As soon as he came downstairs, he saw Wang Xueqi and called out loudly.
"Xueqi, why are you up so early?" Liu Xiaoyuan asked with a smile.
Wang Xueqi said, "I couldn't sleep, so I got up. By the way, where did my brother go last night? I didn't see him come back even after I fell asleep."
Liu Xiaoyuan smiled and patted Wang Xueqi's head, saying, "I had something to do last night, so I came back late."
"Brother, when is my mom coming back? Xueqi misses her a little." Wang Xueqi said, her lips slightly pouting.
Wang Xueqi has never been separated from her mother, Wang Qing, since she was a child. She hasn't slept with her mother for two nights now, and she misses her mother very much.
If Wang Xueqi hadn't been so sensible, she would have started crying and making a fuss like other children.
"Xueqi, be good. Your mother won't be back for a few more days," Liu Xiaoyuan quickly comforted her. "Xueqi, Mom said she'll listen to her brother as soon as she hears he wants her. So, while Mom's away, Xueqi, you must listen to your brother and grandpa and grandma, okay?"
"Okay!" Wang Xueqi nodded emphatically and said, "Xueqi will definitely be obedient!"
After having breakfast and playing with Wang Xueqi for a while, Liu Xiaoyuan drove Lu Siyao's car to work.
Liu Xiaoyuan checked the time; it was already past nine o'clock. He figured Lu Siyao must already be at the police station by now.
So Liu Xiaoyuan drove to the police station and ran into the same police officer who had been on guard outside the massage parlor yesterday.
"You're Lu Siyao's boyfriend!" The police officer recognized Liu Xiaoyuan at a glance.
Yesterday, in a moment of panic, Liu Xiaoyuan said he was Lu Siyao's boyfriend. He didn't expect the policeman to have such a good memory and recognize him at a glance.
"Young man, you're lucky! Siyao is the most beautiful girl in our police station, and you actually managed to win her over without letting anyone know beforehand. You did a great job keeping it a secret!" the police officer said with a smile.
Liu Xiaoyuan didn't know how to respond, so he could only nod with a smile.
Upon entering the police station, Liu Xiaoyuan saw Lu Siyao fetching water in the lobby.
Just as Liu Xiaoyuan was about to greet them, the police officer spoke first, "Siyao, your boyfriend is here!"
The police officer's voice was loud, and everyone in the hall heard it. Even though Lu Siyao had a rather carefree personality, she couldn't help but blush.
Liu Xiaoyuan was immediately surrounded by the police officers at the police station, who wanted to see what kind of person could win over Lu Siyao.
"Siyao, you have good taste! Your boyfriend is a real heartthrob." A female office worker from the police station walked up to Lu Siyao, nudged her with her elbow as her pretty face turned red, and said enviously, "I wish my boyfriend was that handsome."
"Siyao, you've kept it a secret pretty well! When are you going to invite us to your wedding?"
Everyone was talking at once, which made Lu Siyao quickly put her water glass aside, walk over to Liu Xiaoyuan, and pull him out of the police station.
"Liu Xiaoyuan, what's going on? How did I become your girlfriend?" Lu Siyao asked angrily, her face flushed.
Liu Xiaoyuan explained, "Yesterday I was worried that you might encounter danger if you went back to the massage parlor, so I told the police on guard that I was your boyfriend. Otherwise, he definitely wouldn't have let me in. Siyao, I was just worried about you, that's why I said that."
Hearing that Liu Xiaoyuan said that because he was worried about her safety, Lu Siyao's anger was quickly replaced by sweetness.
"Hmph, don't say such things again, do you hear me?" Lu Siyao pretended to be angry, but anyone who wasn't deaf could tell from her tone that she was just being coquettish.
"Yes, my princess!" Seeing that Lu Siyao wasn't angry, Liu Xiaoyuan started joking too.
Upon hearing the words "My Princess," Lu Siyao glanced at Liu Xiaoyuan, her eyes filled with a hint of allure.
Afterwards, Liu Xiaoyuan handed the car keys to Lu Siyao.
Lu Siyao then remembered what happened last night and asked, "Liu Xiaoyuan, you still haven't given me an explanation. Was what that little girl said last night true? Are you already her brother-in-law?"
Liu Xiaoyuan said with a smile, "I usually only explain this to my girlfriend!"
Lu Siyao knew the unspoken meaning behind Liu Xiaoyuan's words: if she wanted to know, she would have to become his girlfriend.
"Hmph! Dream on!" Lu Siyao glanced at Liu Xiaoyuan and then walked into the police station.
