Chapter 129 Dinner - 1 The two were packing up their things in the aircraft...
As the two were tidying up their room on the top floor of the aircraft, Bren sent a message saying that all the cargo had been unloaded and that the aircraft would land on an open area at the top of the mountain to avoid blocking the space below.
Lu Yi agreed to carry it out, and the aircraft slowly ascended at a very stable speed, the feeling of weightlessness was a bit like riding an elevator.
Tang Bufan walked to the French windows and looked out. The relatively low-rise buildings of Taicheng stretched out in a long, winding line until the high city walls blocked the afterglow of the setting sun, and the houses in that area were shrouded in shadow.
The rain has gradually stopped recently, and the repair work on the city wall is proceeding in an orderly manner. However, the guards on the mountaintop are still very strict. When the aircraft reaches the mountaintop, Tang Bufan can see the orcs guarding the Guo family garden.
“May to September is usually the peak production season for orcs, but this year, due to the impact of the Rebooters, production in all federations has declined.” Lu Yi walked behind Tang Bufan and hugged him.
"After I finish packing, I'll go look at the map Pei Zhishu gave me," Tang Bufan said, suddenly feeling something cool being put on his left wrist.
He looked down and was surprised to find that it was an exquisite silver chain bracelet with two thin chains holding a small square watch face.
"Hello, Xiao Tang." Kai Ge's gentle electronic male voice came from the bracelet.
Tang Bufan's heart skipped a beat, and he turned to look at Lu Yi behind him: "This is..."
"A gift," Lu Yi said gently. "I asked Sirius to bring it from the Western Federation. I've already copied Kai's data into the bracelet."
Lu Yi knew that Kai Ge had a special meaning to Tang Bufan, so he didn't give him a blank AI bracelet to set up.
Sure enough, Tang Bufan was moved and lowered his head to touch the silver chain bracelet, feeling very fond of it.
"Thank you, I like it very much." Tang Bufan said, then turned back to look at Lu Yi behind him uneasily: "Then... is there anything you want?"
"You," Lu Yi replied matter-of-factly and decisively.
Tang Bufan blushed slightly: "I'm serious."
“I’m serious too.” Lu Yi lowered his head and buried his face in Tang Bufan’s neck, inhaling his scent. “Teacher, you’ve already given me your whole life, you don’t need to give me anything more.”
Although Lu Yi said that, Tang Bufan was still uneasy and wanted to give something back. When he thought of the gift, he suddenly remembered that he still owed Anderson a sweater, and he felt quite anxious.
Why don't we go to the commercial area halfway up the mountain? Tang Bufan thought to himself. The next day, after Lu Yi left, he planned to go to the garden to find He Xing and He Yun.
Since Guo Wen has reserved a courtyard for him and Lu Yi, the twins are currently responsible for managing Qingzhu Xiaoxuan.
Lu Yi went to learn how to pilot aircraft. Although the AI could completely control it, as the commander-in-chief, he still needed to have the ability to operate it independently.
Tang Bufan informed Lu Yi through Kai Ge. Although Lu Yi was worried about his safety, he knew that he couldn't keep him on the aircraft forever, so he instructed Anderson to follow him.
Although Anderson was Lu Yi's nominal adjutant, he was a nobody. Because of his bad reputation, many orcs didn't associate with him, and Anderson was too lazy to bother with them. For the past two days, he had been wandering around the aircraft by himself.
Tang Bufan thought it would be good to bring him along, so that he could choose the yarn ball he liked. He also planned to knit one or two more items for Lu Yi this year. So when Anderson leisurely came over, Tang Bufan took him to the garden.
When they arrived, they were surprised to see Yu Shi.
Yu Shi was wearing a small gas mask, and two uniformed special police officers were following behind him, talking to the twins.
He Xing frowned, and He Yun pouted with a strange expression. When they saw Tang Bufan arrive, both of them showed surprise and delight.
"Mrs. Tang!" They didn't expect Tang Bufan to return so quickly. He Yun happily ran to Tang Bufan's side.
"I was thinking of asking you two to go shopping," Tang Bufan said, glancing at Yu Shi with a half-smile: "Hello, what a coincidence."
Tang Bufan wasn't stupid. He knew perfectly well why Yu Shi was here; he probably thought that Yu Shi and Lu Yi were still living here.
“…Mr. Tang.” Yu Shi greeted Tang Bufan politely, but addressed him as “Mr.” At the same time, his bright eyes looked past Tang Bufan toward Anderson behind him.
When Anderson was released from the mental hospital, he was very thin, his eyes were bloodshot, and he looked crazy. Now, after a year of wandering around, he has become more and more energetic. His tall and slender figure and handsome face are very eye-catching.
He still has an unconventional personality, looking carefree and irresponsible, with his long, silver hair reaching his waist cascading down his back, fluttering as he walks.
“Young Master Yu, Madam Tang and Mr. Louis are engaged. You’ve got the wrong person,” He Yun reminded Yu Shi with a fake smile.
Yu Shi ignored him, instead shyly raising a hand to brush a strand of hair behind her ear, and looking at Anderson with curiosity, asked, "And who is this officer?"
Anderson has not appeared in the public eye for ten years. When he was put into a mental hospital, Yu Shi was only eight years old, so he did not recognize Anderson.
Anderson raised an eyebrow with interest: "You don't recognize me?"
"I... this is my first time on the surface, so I don't know much about this place," Yu Shi said embarrassedly.
Seeing that Anderson seemed to have some interest in him as well, Yu Shi thought for a moment and softened his attitude towards Tang Bufan, speaking more politely: "Mr. Tang, are you going shopping? Let's go together, I also want to go shopping in Taicheng."
He roughly guessed that Anderson was the bodyguard that Lu Yi had arranged for Tang Bufan. Although he didn't know his background, he was, after all, a high-level orc and handsome.
She just looked a bit older than him. But Yu Shi knew very well that he didn't have many potential partners.
Tang Bufan was going shopping with He Xing and He Yun, but he didn't want to go shopping with Yu Shi at all, so he threw the question to Anderson: "What do you think?"
“The young master of the underground city is so precious, I’m afraid we might break him and we won’t be able to afford to pay for it.” Anderson said as he walked up to Yu Shi, casually lifting his face with his hand, his long, narrow, silver-gray eyes deep: “Or does the young master want us to break him?”
His ambiguous tone made Yu Shi blush, her heart pounding as she looked at him.
Just as he was about to respond shyly, one of his bodyguards behind him had already found Anderson's identity through his personal AI. His expression changed immediately, and he hurriedly pulled Yu Shi aside.
Yu Shi was slightly angry, but after hearing the bodyguard's words in his ear, his face turned red and then pale, and his gaze toward Anderson became one of rejection and fear.
Seeing his expression, Tang Bufan knew that he knew Anderson's identity, so he smiled and asked him, "Mr. Yu, do you still want to come with us?"
"I... I just remembered I have other things to do, so I won't go," Yu Shi stammered, his gaze falling on the distant, conspicuous flying vehicle that was dozens of stories high and could be clearly seen even in this garden.
He planned to go find Lu Yi.
The people around him were all smart enough to tell what he was thinking at a glance. Anderson didn't seem to mind being looked down upon, but He Yun couldn't help but say sarcastically, "Young Master Yu is really fickle. I heard you used to want to be a star. First you tried singing, but the sales weren't good, so you tried making movies, but those didn't work out either. What are you trying to do now that you're on the ground?"
Yu Shi was suddenly struck where it hurt, and his face immediately turned bright red. What made him even more embarrassed was that the one who mocked him was actually a mere servant. Seeing that Tang Bufan and Anderson were both staring at him, Yu Shi got angry and rushed over to slap He Yun.
But before his raised hand could fall, it was firmly grasped by a fair and slender hand, and Tang Bufan looked at him with icy eyes.
"What are you doing?" Tang Bufan asked him calmly, while He Yun, feeling a bit scared, quickly hid behind Tang Bufan.
Yu Shi, wearing a gas mask, was breathing rapidly. He tried to shake off Tang Bufan's hand that was gripping his wrist, but was surprised to find that the man in front of him, though thin, had a very strong grip, holding him tightly like a stone.
How could a pampered young master from the underground city compare to Tang Bufan, who had been training his body? Even if it were the old Tang Bufan, his thin, stick-like legs could probably kick the unsteady Yu Shi flying.
"Keep your servant's mouth shut!" Yu Shi's face turned slightly fierce: "You worthless thing, born of a mother but raised by one..."
"Slap!" Tang Bufan slapped him shut up.
Yu Shi was stunned, then his eyes quickly reddened and tears streamed down his face. The two bodyguards behind him reacted and immediately raised their pistols at Tang Bufan.
Anderson raised an eyebrow, took a big step forward, and put his arms around the two bodyguards on his left and right. At the same time, he grabbed their gun-wielding hands and twisted them. Under his brute force, the two bodyguards pointed their guns at their own foreheads.
"Shoot!" Anderson grinned maliciously, his eyes narrowing. "Guess who'll get their head blown off?"
"..."
"..."
The two bodyguards were sweating profusely, their guns pointed at their foreheads, unable to move an inch.
Yu Shi was still being held by the wrist by Tang Bufan, and could only use his other hand to cover his feverish and slowly swollen face, crying with tears streaming down his face.
He had never suffered such humiliation in his life.
"Why are you crying?" Tang Bufan said disdainfully, "If you've decided to take action, you should be prepared to be counterattacked."
"My dad... my dad and I... my grandpa... won't let you get away with this!" Yu Shi sobbed.
Tang Bufan sneered, "Don't worry, your father and grandfather won't care about you anymore. Aren't they just sending you up here to be 'sold'?"
Tang Bufan's words were harsh, but they were true. Unlike Pei Zhishu, who voluntarily came to set up the scheme, Yu Shi was unwilling to marry the beastman. Yu Shi's face turned pale, and she cried even harder.
Tang Bufan was thinking of going home as soon as possible after shopping, so he shook off Yu Shi's hand and told the twins to come with him. Anderson also patted the two bodyguards on the head with a grin and followed.
The four left Qingzhu Xiaoxuan, and Yu Shi's muffled sobs could still be heard behind them. He Xing glanced reproachfully at her younger brother who had caused the trouble, and then asked Tang Bufan with concern, "Madam Tang, is it alright to leave Young Master Yu there?"
"It's alright. He started it anyway. Don't worry, I'll take care of things." Tang Bufan had been with Lu Yi for so long that he had gradually developed the demeanor of someone in charge. At the same time, he complained, "That Yu Shi is already eighteen years old. How can he act so recklessly?"
After saying that, she smiled slightly and said, "Let's go shopping."
