Chapter 137 Anti-bite
"Senior Sister, I'm going to tell you the truth," Takeshita Haru tossed two small metal dice in his hands and swung his legs on the table in the bedroom. "Senior Brother Luochuan was seriously injured. He's lucky to be alive. He hasn't even woken up in the past few days, so there's no way he could have texted you."
"The head of the family has specifically instructed us not to disclose these matters, but I really can't stand the current situation any longer."
Takeshita Haru thought, at worst I'll just get punished, it's not like I haven't been punished by Bai Yao before.
Being punished is better than suffocating to death.
Qu Le curled up on the bed with his knees hugged, not knowing what to say in response.
Just now, Bai Yao hugged her for a while and then left without saying a word to her.
This was the first time that Bai Yao didn't even respond to her call.
Not long after that, Takeshita Haru ran in and gave her a new set of clothes, because the one she was wearing had been torn into pieces by Bai Yao.
Although Takeshita Haru didn't know what exactly happened in the bedroom, Bai Yao looked calm when he left, without any sign of anger.
It is better than anything else if the King of Hell does not get sick.
"I'm not saying anything bad about you, Senior Sister, but you really went a little too far this time."
Takeshita Haru shook his head helplessly at Qu Le who was curled up in a ball.
According to Bai Yao's usual style of doing things, it would have been good enough if he did not take the opportunity to interfere in the struggle between British forces, but instead calmed it down and helped.
He is the one who is most afraid of chaos in the world.
"The head of the family did wrong to you and Cheng Yi before, but let me be fair, he has been like this for a long time."
"And haven't you guys been putting obstacles in the way of the Bai Qing Society? Half a year ago, Cheng Yi imprisoned the leader in an ice prison, nearly crippling both of his legs. You haven't forgotten that, have you?"
“…” Qu Le was speechless for a moment.
Of course she remembered. Although she did not participate in the arrest, she was the one who supervised the construction of the ice prison.
"He's been tolerant of you," Takeshita Haru sighed softly, "You don't care about him, but we do."
"You chose to work for Cheng Yi, and we chose to work for the boss. No one is less loyal than the other. I think you should understand."
"Chixiao has been with the headmaster the longest, Yunqi Yingfeng has been with him for six or seven years, and I've only been with him for two years."
"No matter who thinks he is crazy, evil, or vicious, he is our boss. As long as we live, we will work hard for him."
"He's also an extremely arrogant person who doesn't take anyone seriously. Have you ever thought about why he treats you like this?"
Takeshita Haru jumped off the table, walked to Qu Le, took her hand, and slammed the two small dice in her hand into her palm.
"Think about it yourself."
Qu Le's palms were numb from being slapped by Takeshita Haru. She looked at the two small dice in her palms and couldn't help but be distracted. She had just used this hand to slap Bai Yao.
She felt her mind was in a mess, her heart was blocked, and she couldn't make sense of anything.
Takeshita Haru closed the door and saw three grown men leaning quietly at the door, not even their breathing could be heard.
She looked up and then sighed.
"Where's the head of the family?"
Yunqi shook his head. "He locked himself up and refused to talk to us."
Chixiao pursed his lips, lowered his head and said nothing.
The other three didn't understand, but he did.
He has been following Bai Yao since he was four years old. As a four-year-old child, he is also the most unpopular abandoned child in the entire family. He has been forced to become a victim of the adults' family struggles since he was a child.
So Bai Yao learned to live with a mask on since he was four years old, whether it was gentle or cold. Probably in the end, even he himself didn't know which side was the real him.
Only when it was late at night and everyone was asleep, the child would lock himself in his bedroom, and could he remove his disguise layer by layer and take a moment to breathe.
But even in this long night, Bai Yao did not dare to relax. He was afraid that he would become addicted. Once he succumbed to comfort and cowardice, he was afraid that he would never be able to stand up again.
Who wouldn't go crazy growing up in such pain?
But Chixiao hadn't seen Bai Yao like this for a long time, and he was a little at a loss.
He raised his expressionless face and looked towards the bedroom door.
This woman was undoubtedly the medicine that Bai Yao needed to heal his heart, but Chi Xiao had not expected that the process of decocting the medicine would be even more painful than being sick.
"Let the young master have a good rest."
Chixiao stood up and walked out the door.
"There's nothing we can do about it."
The remaining three people looked at each other and didn't say anything more. Since Chi Xiao said so, what objection could they have?
inside the house.
Qu Le looked at the sun gradually rising to the zenith outside the window, his mind in a mess.
She felt her nose a little sore and wanted to cry.
But when she thought of crying, Qu Le would remember Bai Yao saying that she looked beautiful when she cried. Thinking of this, her nose became even more sore.
Qu Le has no memories of her parents, she only remembers her master.
The master is obviously a fifty-year-old man, but his hands are still so delicate.
The master always liked to wave his hands in front of her and tell her that the most important thing for a thief is to control two things.
One is the hand, the other is the heart.
Keep your hands under control. There is a code of conduct for thieves. Steal what you should steal and don’t steal what you shouldn’t steal.
Control your mind. If your mind moves, your efforts will be ruined. No matter how dexterous your hands are, you will not be able to accomplish anything great.
She has steady hands and an open mind, which is why her master said she would become the best thief.
Thinking of this, Qu Le gently raised his hand and placed it on his chest.
"Master, didn't we agree that my heart is empty? Why is it blocked here?"
*
Bai Yao stood at the window of the top-floor study, looking at Qu Le's back as he walked out of the villa yard, a little absent-minded.
He once thought that he was an absolute hunter, and everything in the world was either his hound or his prey.
This was the first time he experienced what it meant to be trapped in one's own web.
“Dangdang.”
Just as he was in a daze, Bai Yao heard a knock on the door.
"Enter."
Chi Xiao, who was outside the door, finally breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Bai Yao was willing to answer him.
He pushed open the door and said, "Master, she's gone."
Bai Yao silently withdrew his eyes from looking out the window and said, "Yeah, I see it."
Chixiao lowered his head at the door, not knowing what to say.
"Xiao," Bai Yao raised his hand and gently pushed his glasses, looking at Chi Xiao with a disappointed look, "Why do I feel like my charm has weakened?"
When Chi Xiao heard Bai Yao's words, the smile on his icy face disappeared.
"Master, it's not that your charm has weakened, it's that your heart is confused."
"Oh~"
Bai Yao relaxed his brows and said "oh" in sudden realization.
"No wonder."
He tilted his head towards Chixiao and asked for confirmation, "Then what do you think I should do?"
"Master, do you still remember the raccoon you wanted most when you were five years old?"
Chixiao opened his mouth and asked a meaningless question.
"I remember," Bai Yao nodded with a gentle smile, "It was very wild. I fought it with my bare hands, and it almost bit me to death."
"And then?"
"Later... um..." Bai Yao raised his head, blinking his eyes slightly. "We were both tired, so I held it in my arms and fed it my blood."
"That's it."
Chi Xiao raised his hand to rub the earring on his earlobe and nodded to Bai Yao, "I think the young master now should be much more resistant to bites than when he was five years old."
"Oh……"
Bai Yao coughed and chuckled, shook his head slightly, raised his slender fingers and pointed at Chi Xiao who seemed to be smiling.
"I really hate it when you act like you know everything about me."
