Chapter 843: One Bad News, One Good News
"Okay, I understand."
Bai Qingxia lowered her head and responded to the bodyguard in a low voice.
Bai Songzhe raised his hand and touched his daughter's head: "It's okay, you don't have to worry too much, Xiao Li is just a professional habit."
"Yeah." Bai Qingxia raised her head and smiled at her father.
After she finished laughing, she looked at Lu Yuanqiu and found that Lu Yuanqiu's expression while biting the bun looked like a depressed husky.
Lu Yuanqiu had just typed in the "Lu's Men" group chat to ask about the situation of Erye, the bodyguard. His phone soon vibrated and Erye replied.
"Second Master": Be respectful to your brother Li. He saved your grandfather's life in the 2000s. He fought against a dozen thugs alone and one of his eyes was injured.
"Er Ye": He had already changed his career and got married after that. However, his daughter was born with a congenital disease, which made him a bottomless pit of money. That's why he went back to his old job a few years ago.
Lu Yuanqiu was stunned, blinked twice quickly, and looked up at the "Xiao Li Dart" opposite him.
Because Uncle Bai called the bodyguard Xiao Li, and he "flew" over the seat in front of Lu Yuanqiu again, Lu Yuanqiu gave him a nickname - Xiao Li Dart.
I have never seen Xiao Li Feibiao take off his sunglasses. Are sunglasses meant to protect eyes from injuries?
But this experience... is it true or not? He sounds more like the male protagonist in the novel than him. Could he be a retired soldier?
Lu Yuanqiu replied "I see" and put down his phone. It must be said that he had indeed changed his mind about this "Xiao Li Dart".
"It's time for us to set off." Xiao Li Feidart looked at his watch.
Because the road to the countryside was difficult to travel and it was inconvenient for cars to drive in, Aunt Zhang actually took everyone on a very quaint means of transportation. Lu Yuanqiu didn't expect that this would still exist in 2013.
This means of transportation is the rickshaw. Bai Qingxia must like it because it looks safe. However, the rickshaws here are not pulled by manpower, but by pedals.
"This is my first time riding this thing. I've only seen it in some tourist attractions before," said Lu Yuanqiu.
Zhang Ru and Bai Songzhe both laughed. Seeing that one car could seat two people, the personnel distribution became Lu Yuanqiu and Bai Qingxia in one car, Bai Songzhe and Zhang Ru in one car, and Xiao Li Feibiao in a single car.
Lu Yuanqiu carried Bai Qingxia into the car. After he finished, he saw the driver pointing to the small wooden ladder on the ground next to him. The driver didn't open his mouth, but the meaning he wanted to express was deafening.
...What's wrong? I just want to hug my girlfriend and go up. Humph, Lu Yuanqiu cast a proud look.
"Let's go! Next stop!"
He took Bai Qingxia's hand and pointed forward. The car started and theirs drove out first. Bai Qingxia's sweet laughter gradually drifted away in front.
The seat was only wide enough for two people. After the car started, Zhang Ru was very happy and subconsciously took Bai Songzhe's arm. In fact, she had done this countless times, but this was the first time after Bai Songzhe woke up.
Bai Songzhe turned his head and smiled, but was reluctant to pull his arm away. He could feel that Zhang Ru was very happy to go home, but... he really couldn't do anything with this woman who was 19 years younger than him. He was already an old man in his fifties. Just treat it as, just treat it as adopting an eldest daughter, and Xia Xia would also hold his arm.
Xiao Li Feibiao was the last car to drive out, his expression under the sunglasses was still very grim. At this moment, he picked up his mobile phone and raised his hand 45 degrees to take a selfie. The moment the shutter button was pressed, his character suddenly collapsed and he grinned, revealing a row of white teeth.
『Dad』: Dad took a rickshaw today! [Photo]
Put away your phone and continue to be cool.
Lu Yuanqiu sniffed and said, "I can already smell the salty sea breeze."
Just after he finished speaking, Bai Qingxia put her head on his shoulder. Lu Yuanqiu tilted his head: "What's wrong?"
"Take a nap, I'm so sleepy." She muttered softly, and her hair floating in the air touched Lu Yuanqiu's chin dishonestly.
Lu Yuanqiu opened his arms and hugged her: "Didn't you fall asleep last night?"
"What do you think?"
This rebuttal made Lu Yuanqiu feel guilty for a moment and he didn't know how to respond.
Lu Yuanqiu whispered: "Emm, do you know what desensitization is? For you..."
Before he could finish his words, Bai Qingxia stretched out her hand and twisted his waist hard. Lu Yuanqiu screamed in pain, "Ah hey hey hey——"
The cyclist glanced sideways, as if they had matched each other's DNA, and immediately started singing loudly.
"I can't stop loving you. I can do this every day, every month, every year, forever—"
Ahead, a red sun gradually rises.
Below, three rickshaws passed by one after another.
…
"Hello? Aunt Su, I'm here at Qingcheng Mountain today. Can you hear the bells?"
Su Xiaoya sat in the office, pressing the hands-free button on her phone. Sure enough, she heard a distant and ethereal bell sound from the other end of the line. She smiled and responded:
"I hear you, I hear you. Did you climb the mountain? Can you handle it?"
Dai Yidan: "I didn't climb up. My dad and I took the cable car up. It wasn't tiring at all."
Su Xiaoya: "It must be cold in the mountains. You must wear more clothes to avoid catching a cold."
Dai Yidan looked at the Laojun Pavilion in front of him. On the stairs below the Laojun Pavilion, Zhang Zhisheng, wearing an orange jacket, was standing there holding a thick peace incense stick. He closed his eyes, as if he was making a wish in his heart.
Dai Yidan stared at his father's back for a while, then said to Su Xiaoya, "Aunt Su, you actually..."
Su Xiaoya listened with a smile: "Hmm? Actually what?"
The wind on the top of the mountain was indeed quite strong. Dai Yidan wore a hat, and her hair was still blowing under the brim. Seeing her father insert the peace incense into the incense altar, Dai Yidan smiled again: "...It's okay, actually, I am a little tired from traveling. I can't wait to go back and talk to you."
Su Xiaoya laughed: "Well, take a rest if you are tired, don't force yourself."
Although getting along with Dai Yidan was a response to Zhang Zhisheng's request, Su Xiaoya did not feel any discomfort during this period. On the contrary, she had a strong sense of being needed by Dai Yidan. Thinking that she was helping a dying person to have no regrets, Su Xiaoya even felt that she was willing to do this subjectively.
After hanging up the phone, Dai Yidan and Zhang Zhisheng found a place to sit down and rest.
"Yibin will be leaving prison to visit his family in about two months. When the time comes, I want to arrange a meal for our whole family to have together, and by the way... reveal your identity." Zhang Zhisheng said to his daughter.
Dai Yidan forced a smile on both sides of his mouth. "You can keep it a secret for now and tell them there's bad news and good news. The bad news is that you have a sister, and the good news is that your sister is dying and won't get a share of your inheritance."
Zhang Zhisheng looked up at her, and at this moment even his eyes seemed to have aged.
"Dandan, it's Dad's fault. Dad really regrets not letting you integrate into this family earlier. If possible, Dad would rather exchange his life for yours."
"I don't want it."
Dai Yidan turned her head and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes.
She knew that Zhang Zhisheng was still hiding something from her.
