Chapter Thirty-Seven: Baby, donât be angry.
Cheng YuTang listened for Ji XiaoYuâs answer for a long time, before he couldnât help but ask again, âXiaoYu, why arenât you talking? What kind of powerful person were you with previously?â
âWhat are you always asking about this? What qualifications do you have in order to ask? Who cares who he is, I wonât tell you!â Ji XiaoYu twisted his head and rubbed his sore eyes. He said indignantly, âIf that night, I was replaced by someone else, it would have been the same for you, right? You can rest assured, Iâm a man, not a woman. I donât want to depend on you and I wonât bring up that you need to take responsibility!â
He viewed the little white egg as so important, not because of who the other father of the little white egg was, but just because it had developed in his own body, created from his own innumerable efforts.
Even if he was alone, he was going to try to hatch the little white egg and then raise the baby well afterwards. Having Cheng YuTang as the other father? That meant nothing! to! him!
Cheng YuTang looked at his puffed-out cheeks and reddened eyes, like a child who had been greatly wronged, and he couldnât help but feel pain and pity in his heart. He whispered, âYes, youâre right, I really donât have the right to ask. Itâs meaningless for me make excuses for what I did that night. All I can say is that Iâm serious now. Iâm serious about you, not acting out of responsibility or guilt, but just because you are you and I really like you.
âBaby, donât be angry, okay? No matter what happened before, we can start over from now on. If you feel uneasy, just beat me up me until youâre relieved, okay?â
As he spoke, he held Ji XiaoYuâs hand again, bringing it to his heart.
Hearing this confession caught him off guard. Ji XiaoYuâs head spun, as if he were lacking oxygen.
The affectionate, gentle offensive attack of this manâs deep feelings was the most unstoppable. He could feel his rapid and powerful heartbeat under his palm and his own heartbeat raced out of control chaotically. His face began to heat up again and he stammered, âWho, who is your baby? You, donât you give me some messy nickname, so disgusting! You think youâre so strong, but if this little master really tried, you wouldnât be able to get up after one of my slaps!â
Cheng YuTang heard him saying that he was disgusting, but his face had flushed red and his attitude had loosened up, so he couldnât help but feel overjoyed. He followed his lead and said, âYes, our Mister Ji XiaoYu is the most powerful, dashing all over the world without a worthy adversary. How else could you be my bodyguard?â
Ji XiaoYu wanted to say no to being the bodyguard of this nuisance, that heâd love to leave, but then he thought back on the agreement he had made at the beginning and knew he couldnât say that in any case.
If he violated the agreement, he would be struck by lightning and his soul would be destroyed.
Oh papa, why was he so stupid in the first place? He had tangled himself up in knots and now he couldnât dig his way out!
He pulled his hand free and indignantly said, âYouâre so rich. There are so many people who want to be your bodyguard, there are a bunch of bright ones in HongSheng and you wonât run short without me.â
âYes, but theyâre no match for you.â Cheng YuTang heaved a sigh, staring deeply into his eyes. âWhen youâre used to the best, how can you go back to the rest?â
Ji XiaoYu really wanted to cover up his mouth, this man is so unruly! He could say something so pleasing to ear like a seductive magic potion!
He also really liked this magic potion and, after drinking it once, he couldnât stopâ¦â¦
No way, he couldnât listen to him go on anymore. He was really angry, he couldnât just let himself be fooled by this man!
He stood up and forcibly changed the topic, âIâm tired! I want to take leave! Iâm going back to rest!â
âOkay, okay, good, taking leave.â Cheng YuTang decided to go along. âSo, do you want to take a few days off?â
Ji XiaoYu hadnât really thought about taking a few days off. In fact, he had been working or doing overtime since he entered HongSheng. He had basically had no rest during the past three months, so after hesitating for a moment, he said, âTwo days⦠no, three days!â
âOkay, then three days.â Cheng YuTang suddenly pushed down the worries in his heart that had sprung up. He had been worried that Ji XiaoYu would quit out of anger for a while. Now it seemed that he would really have to thank the little thing for his unparalleled professional dedication. âBut your company car is at my place and itâs a long way back to HongLe Garden. Thereâs no direct bus route and the weather is bad. Iâll take you back.â
Heh heh, itâs this routine again. Ji XiaoYu said very firmly, âNo. Iâll take a taxi myself.â
Today, he wanted to handle this on his own. Even if he had to spend a hundred yuan on a taxi, he could afford it!
Cheng YuTang had to give in, âAlright, Iâll send you off.â
Although he was now a thousand, no, ten thousand times more reluctant to let him go, the continuation of the stalemate wouldnât have a good outcome. The little thing was just trying to escape with his thoughts for the time being, instead of breaking off all contact with him on the spot. This was already very good. He couldnât force him now, he could only coax him first and then pull him back gradually.
Ji XiaoYu snorted, pulling open the door of the tea room and striding out.
Cheng and Xiao smiled wryly and followed at his heels.
The distance between their shoulders as he followed was different than the intimacy of earlier. At this time, they were a few meters apart, just like two strangers.
After Yang DongCheng finished with Jin LaoSan, he had waited in the corridor outside. Seeing his boss and the little bodyguard come out, he hurried over. However, he could see the situation between the two wasnât right, it seemed that there had been a conflict. The little bodyguard was walking in front with puffed-out cheeks, ignoring his boss, and the boss followed right behind him, looking tenderly at the little bodyguardâs back. He didnât dare to rush and open his mouth, but he attempted a question, âCheng Zong, is there anything else I could do for you?â
Cheng YuTang pulled his gaze away from Ji XiaoYuâs back and cleared his throat, saying, âJust do everything according to the rules.â
As he spoke, he signaled with his eyes at Yang DongCheng. He pointed to the other man using an angle in the little thingâs blindspot and raised his hand to trace out the shape of a rectangle.
Yang DongCheng was a smart man. He instantly processed the idea. Immediately after, he smiled at Ji XiaoYu. âSir, congratulations on being the lucky 8888th guest since we opened our restaurant. We have specially prepared a supreme lifelong diamond VIP card to present to you.â
Ji XiaoYu didnât understand for a moment, âWhat? A what card? Whatâs the use of this card?â
âA supreme lifelong diamond VIP card,â Yang DongCheng repeated patiently. He took a glittering card from his pocket and handed it over. His tone thawing, he said, âWith this card, every time the restaurant launches a new dish, you can enjoy it for free for your first taste. And you can enjoy a complimentary meal specially prepared by our chef on the 8th, 18th and 28th of each month. The only requirement is that you cannot come alone. When you come, you must dine with a friend, which will facilitate promotion of our restaurant. What do you think?â
He spoke while paying attention to his bossâs face. As he saw Cheng Zong nodding slightly, with a proud expression, he couldnât help but speak more and more vigorously.
âSure, no problem!â Ji XiaoYu was almost dancing with joy. He had just lifted his fist when he suddenly realized that the action was too undignified and detrimental to his image, so he immediately pulled it back to scratch his chin nonchalantly.
Having a free big meal to eat, made a profit, made a profit!
It would be so easy to pull someone along to eat together, someone whoâs readily availableâ¦â¦
Ah, pei pei pei! Who wants to eat with this bastard!? Isnât he the boss here anyway? When he wants to eat, he can eat. Whoever he wanted to eat with, he could eat with them, as long as itâs not me, then do whatever!
Wait a minute, this Manager Yang isnât scheming with a certain someone, right? How else could such a good thing happen to fall on my own head? What kind of trap could be attached to it?
Ji XiaoYu stared warily at Yang DongCheng and said in doubt, âManager Yang, how could it be that I happen to be the 8888th guest? How do you count all the people who come every day one by one?â
Yang DongCheng could tell, his bossâs sweetheart was a rare, pure man of goodness and simplicity. There wasnât even a bit of worldliness or scheming in this person. So he boasted, âOf course we canât hand-count the number, but our restaurant is equipped with a set of the best high-end electronic facial recognition systems. Every guest who comes to eat will be automatically identified and archived by the system. The operator of the computer room just informed me that you happen to be the 8888th guest. If you donât believe me, you can go to the computer room with me to check the data.â
As soon as Ji XiaoYu heard this, he waved his hand, âForget it, I canât read or understand that.â
Anyway, it was just eating a meal. If there was a problem, then he just wouldnât eat it. There was nothing at stake in any case.
So he thanked Yang DongCheng and he comfortably took the supreme lifelong diamond VIP card.
Once out of Ning Cheng Spring and Autumn, Ji XiaoYu had just walked a few steps when he suddenly felt something fall onto his face, something cold. He looked up and found it was snowing.
He liked snow. In the past, when it snowed on Xiao Qing Shan, there was much more than in the city. Overnight, the mountain would be covered with silver and white, like a big plush blanket on a soft bed. At that time, he would either have snowball fights with the spiritual beasts or he would snuggle into his nest and sleep. It was all such a happy thing.
Ay, saying this when heâd been outside for half a year. He kind of missed Xiao Qing Shan.
Ning Cityâs climate was warm and pleasant; the summer wasnât too hot, the winter wasnât too cold, and occasionally there was a little snow, though it didnât accumulate on the ground. This was the first snow in Ning City since winter began this year, but the flakes werenât too heavy, like down feathers flying all over.
Ji XiaoYu reached out and caught a snowflake, watching the fluffy white ice crystal fall lightly in the palm of his hand and, unbidden, he got the urge to stick out his tongue and lick it like he used to in Xiao Qing Shan.
Just as the tip of his tongue poked out a little, he caught sight of Cheng YuTang coming outside out of the corner of his eye and hurriedly recovered his tongue. He bit himself in his rush and, in pain, sucked a cold breath of air, almost dying from his own stupidity.
Cheng YuTang saw him covering his mouth and grimacing in pain and hurried forward to ask, âWhatâs wrong, was it bitten by me this morning? Open your mouth and let me see.â
Ji XiaoYu instantly turned red and he caught a glimpse of Old Yang choking back his laughter on the side with shaking shoulders. He wished he could jump up and bite the man a few times, donât you see, you big-headed bastard? This is all your fault!
Just then, there happened to be a taxi stopping at the side of the road, with two passengers approaching it. He rushed forward and got into the backseat before the others, urging him vaguely, âFierce master, without delay, help me make a speedy escape!â
If this goes on, Iâm going to lose all my face.
âThis street is narrow, there are many cars parked here, I canât start out fast!â the taxi driver explained while driving the car, âWhere are you going?â
âHongLe Garden.â
âAlright,â the driver said, and then he joked, âYoung man, why were you in such a hurry just now, is a debt collector after you?â
Itâs scarier than debt collection! Ji XiaoYu was silent, unable to crush the resentment in his heart. He couldnât keep himself from looking back. Cheng YuTang was still standing on the side of the road, his gaze following the direction of his departure.
After the taxi had driven for over a dozen meters, his hair and shoulders were faintly covered in a layer of white, as if he were suddenly a few decades older.
Ji XiaoYu suddenly felt a little sad and he didnât dare to look back any longer, quickly turning his head away.
He recalled that a colleague had said that Cheng YuTang was 33 years old. Although he was in his prime, when a man was strong and prosperous, the lifespan of human beings was very short. On average, they could only live to 70 or 80 years old. If he calculated it, Cheng YuTang had already lived through nearly half his life.
With just a little cultivation, a spiritual beast could easily live for a few hundred years. As an example, Grandpa Hou no longer remembered how long he had lived. With his current physical condition, living for another two hundred years shouldnât be a problem.
After 50 years, Iâll still be young, but what will Cheng YuTang look like?
