Chapter 55: The Male Lead Arrives
[If you keep making jokes at a time like this, your sister will beat you up when she wakes up.]
[I'm dying of laughter, stop fooling around! Little sister, wake up! Danger!]
Without anyone calling it, Wolf Fang barked!
Xu Bai, who had followed them all the way, finally felt relieved when he saw Wolf Fang.
My uncle is really here!
He was twenty years old and had only seen his uncle less than ten times. He might not recognize his uncle, but the dog was very easy to recognize. His father's most frequent scolding for him was, "You're dumber than the dog next to your uncle!"
This angered him so much that he remembered his nemesis's appearance.
Tu Yao groggily got up, rubbed her eyes, and when she opened them, she saw a large group of people opposite her!
Tu Chaoxi, the leader, was glaring at her with hostility!
Tu Yao snapped out of her daze and immediately grinned, "Brother! You've come to pick me up!"
Then she immediately got up, ran over, and rushed into his arms.
Tu Chaoxi: ...
Tu Chaoxi quickly caught her.
I helplessly rubbed her fluffy head, and my anger subsided by more than half.
no!
He quickly straightened his face: "Stand still! Stop grinning at me!"
Tu Yao was taken aback, looked up, blinked, and obediently stepped back and stood up straight.
Tu Chaoxi began the lecture he had been holding back all the way.
"You're really something! You dared to run that far all by yourself!"
"You didn't even bring your phone? Did I give it to you to be just for decoration?!"
Tu Yao lowered her head dejectedly; she couldn't stand it after just a couple of sentences.
She moved her feet little by little, taking one step for every word Tu Chaoxi said. By the time everyone reacted, she had already hidden behind Nan Ke.
Tu Chaoxi: ...
Nan Ke: ...
"you……"
Tu Chaoxi's expression was complicated for a moment. Even with amnesia, she knew where to hide for the safest time.
"Alright, I'll pay for all the food you ate!"
Tu Yao lowered her head and said softly, "Xiao Chi did it all himself. You should ask him."
Upon hearing this, Xu Bai's expression instantly turned strange and terrified.
Koike? ? ? ? ?
Is this girl crazy? Calling him "Uncle Xiao Chi"?????
Wait, what did she just say? His uncle personally cooked for this girl?!
The sun must have risen in the west!
His uncle was his grandfather's youngest son, exceptionally intelligent, but suffering from a strange and complex illness. As a result, he was doted on by everyone in the previous two generations of the family. How could he possibly cook for himself?!
Suddenly, Wolf Fang let out a cry, and everyone looked up, momentarily stunned.
A young man wearing an outer robe was standing in front of the wooden house. His phoenix eyes swept over him with a slight upward tilt. Although he looked pale, his every move exuded a dignified aura.
The staff members were all surprised. Was this the same pitiful Xu Chi that Tu Xiaomao had mentioned?
It doesn't look too bad...
Since it involved ordinary people, the director discussed it with netizens and decided to turn off the footage for now.
Xu Bai, standing to the side, froze on the spot, his eyes widening suddenly, and he instinctively opened his mouth: "Little...little..."
Everyone was taken aback. What little?
Xu Chi glanced at him coldly, his gaze carrying a strong warning.
Xu Bai broke out in a cold sweat instantly and subconsciously changed his words: "...Swallows, wearing flowery clothes, come here every spring..."
Everyone: ? ? ?
He sang softer and softer, and finally scratched his head to cover up his embarrassment, pointing at Tu Yao: "I...I just thought her clothes were pretty flashy, like a bird's."
Tu Chaoxi's expression changed instantly: "You're the one who's a liar! Swallows are black and white, my sister is wearing yellow, you colorblind!"
Xu Bai:......
After finishing her rant, Tu Chaoxi quickly went over to thank her.
Tu Chaoxi was overflowing with gratitude for the young man who had provided her with a house and was now temporarily taking her in.
"Thank you so much. Tu Xiaomao ate so much of your food, I'll pay you back double."
This person has it tough; he's sick and lives in a remote area. I heard he can't even contact his elders anymore, and he's all alone.
He was about to take out his wallet when he said that.
Xu Chi chuckled softly. These brother and sister were both kind-hearted and easily deceived to the core.
"It's okay, we're friends, we don't hold these things against each other."
"Besides, she only came here today to see me, so I should be the one apologizing to you."
With just two sentences, Tu Chaoxi immediately categorized people into the same class as the village chief and his wife: reliable and kind.
Listen to this! It's clearly his son Tu Xiaomao who's forgetful and loves to run around, but the other person has taken all the blame upon themselves.
Tu Xiaomao should have friends like this!
Tu Chaoxi thanked them there.
Tu Yao began apologizing to everyone one by one.
He bowed to the director and staff one by one.
"Oh, it's alright, little sister, no need to bow, no need to bow!"
"Yeah, yeah, you didn't do it on purpose, but you definitely have to bring your phone next time you go out."
The staff demonstrated their usual tolerance and compassion.
Nan Ke watched this scene with mixed feelings, lowered her eyes, and couldn't help but take a step back.
Now that he has chosen to let go, shouldn't he leave too?
Now, Tu Xiaomao has an older brother whom she accepts wholeheartedly, relatives from Xianhe Village who love and care for her, and friends she is willing to make.
So, it doesn't seem so bad for him to just be a pair of strangers to her for the rest of his life, like brother and sister who will never know each other.
Nan Ke smiled with relief and prepared to leave.
But the next second, Tu Yao appeared, looking at him apologetically: "I'm sorry to you too."
Nan Ke was taken aback: "...Why are you apologizing to me?"
Tu Yao scratched her head: "Because I made you anxious too."
"I……"
Nan Ke suddenly couldn't open his mouth.
Indeed, he couldn't deny it.
He panicked.
Tu Yao had already skillfully put her arm around his, and apologized earnestly, "I'm sorry, I'll memorize your phone numbers when I get back, and I'll remember to bring my phone when I go out in the future, so you won't worry about me."
Her eyes were clear and sincere. "By the way, I still owe you two medicine packets, right? I'll make them when I get back."
"But the herbs need to be dried for a while. I'll make them for you the day after tomorrow, okay?"
Nan Ke pursed her lips. The medicine packet…
He looked at Tu Yao's arm around him and felt like a beginner, unable to refuse, so he was trying to adapt to this intimacy.
"……good."
He thought... well, he'll wait a bit, get the medicine kit, and then leave.
Tu Yao glanced around, trying to see if anyone had been missed, when suddenly her gaze stopped and she looked at Xu Bai, who was dressed in a flashy outfit.
Tu Yao didn't have much affection for this stranger who called her a bird, and casually asked:
Who is he?
Nan Ke's face stiffened. "His name is Xu Bai, and he was... originally a guest star."
Tu Yao nodded. "Oh, Xu Bai."
Xu, Bai...
Xu Bai? ???
Tu Yao suddenly shuddered. Xu Bai? ???
Isn't that Xu Bai, the male protagonist of this novel?
The richest man's nephew, the official love interest of the original owner, Cheng Sangsang, entered the entertainment industry under the pseudonym Xu Bai in order to escape an arranged marriage!
What did he do here?!
Nan Ke keenly sensed the sudden fear that flashed through the girl's eyes the moment she saw Xu Bai, and his expression immediately changed slightly: "What's wrong?"
He also subconsciously looked at the young man opposite him with considerable hostility.
Xu Bai:? ? ?
