The next day, Li Yidao slowly opened his eyes as the first ray of sunlight shone into the room.
He frowned.
He had a feeling that something had happened last night.
Someone seemed to be looking for him?
However, he could not remember.
In the end, he could only shake his head and ignore it.
He got up and freshened up.
He planned to take out his phone to order takeout.
However, just as he was picking up his phone, he saw a message from Li Xinting:
âBrother Dao, you donât need to prepare breakfast this morning. Iâve made breakfast for you.â
Looking at the message, Li Yidao instinctively wanted to decline, but when he opened the message box, he hesitated for a while.
âSighâ¦â He sighed helplessly.
At that moment, he felt somewhat helpless.
Well, if someone offered you food, it was hard to refuse, right?
Even though eating once or twice wouldnât change the situation, he decided to help as much as he could.
After all, the danger she was facing was partly connected to him.
Another thought was that Li Xintingâs words might be a breakthrough point. If that murderer were to come looking for her, Li Yidao might gain some useful information!
Ten minutes later, Li Yidao opened the door of the shop.
Since it wasnât yet 8 AM, the street was particularly quiet.
As he stepped out, he spotted Li Xinting holding a long selfie stick, live streaming.
At that moment, the angle was perfectly aligned with Li Yidao.
Although Li Xinting noticed and adjusted the angle quickly, the viewers watching the live stream had sharp eyes.
Some of them even took screenshots!
âI canât believe it! Who was that just now? Brother Dao?â
âDid Beauty really go to find Brother Dao? Holy cow, this is big news!â
âWait, whatâs happening? Why is Beauty with Brother Dao? And look, Brother Dao seems to have just woken up.â
âReally? Could it be that Beauty betrayed herself to seek refuge with Brother Dao?â
âHuh? Upstairs, shut up! Beauty can only be mine! Brother Dao canât have her!
If he dares to snatch Beauty from me, Iâll⦠Iâllâ¦â
âHaha, what can you do, upstairs? Even if Brother Dao snatches Beauty from you, what can you do?ââI⦠I⦠sob⦠I donât know what Iâ¦â
âHave some dignity! Alright, alright! Stop crying. Look, Beauty has been live streaming for half an hour. Brother Daoâs shop has just opened, obviously, they donât have the kind of relationship youâre thinking of.â
âHuh? It does seem that way! And Beauty was indoors just now. It was full of trinkets. Are you all blind?â
âBut then, why is Brother Dao alsoâ¦â
âHaha, I get it now. Beauty managed to secure a shop right next to Brother Daoâs!â
âI canât believe it! Our Beauty is amazing! What a move!â âYeah, really amazing! Wow!â
âImpressive! Give our clever Beauty a thumbs-up!â
âBeauty was saved this time, haha! Thatâs great!â
Seeing how people on the live stream were starting to suspect their relationship with Brother Dao, Li Xinting grew anxious.
She wasnât worried about herself, but rather that Brother Dao might misunderstand or get upset.
If he started to ignore her due to this misunderstanding, she would be truly distraught.
As for herself, looking at Brother Daoâs well-proportioned figure and handsome face⦠she seemed to be okay with it.
âLive streaming?â
Just as she was getting lost in her thoughts, Brother Daoâs voice came through.
âAh, yes, just got up early and wanted to greet everyone. Um, about earlierâ¦â
Before Li Xinting could finish, Brother Dao waved his hand.
âItâs your live stream. If you unintentionally captured me, itâs fine.â
Brother Dao had nothing much to say about this. After all, he couldnât restrict her, and even if he was inadvertently filmed, what difference would it make?
It wouldnât affect him much.
âYeah, donât worry. I definitely wonât deliberately film you.â
âBy the way, breakfast is on the table inside. Iâll go get it for you now.â
After saying that, she put down her phoneâs selfie stick and went straight into the house.
She then brought out a hearty breakfast.
There were buns, congee, eggs, milk, and even some side dishes.
It was quite the feast!
Li Yidao thanked her and then headed back inside with the food.
As for Li Xintingâs live stream at this moment, it was exploding with excitement!
âI canât believe it! I saw it! Itâs really Brother Dao!â
âWait, Beauty prepared breakfast for Brother Dao?â
âHaha, Beauty is amazing! Go Beauty! As long as you cling to Brother Dao, everything will be fine!â
âYeah, yeah! Go for it!â
With all the congratulations and excitement from everyone in the live stream, Beauty felt that she had made the wisest decision!
However, when someone was happy, someone else might be upset.
Sitting in her hotel room, Sister Zhou, who hadnât left her room for days, was feeling anxious as she watched Beautyâs live stream.
Why was she so foolish?
How could she not have thought of this before?
If she had secured the shop first, could she have also found refuge with Brother Dao?
Just yesterday, Qi Yuqiang, the uncle who had watched her grow up, came to see her again.
However, this time he brought bad news.
Their relationship with Brother Dao was facing some issues.
They had initially wanted to use Unit 36 to establish a connection with Brother Dao, hoping that Sister Zhou could receive some help from him.
But unfortunately⦠it seemed impossible now!
When Qi Yuqiang conveyed this news, Zhou Tianqiâs eyes were filled with despair.
Sister Zhouâs mother even burst into silent tears.
Ultimately, Sister Zhou had to put on a brave smile and console them.
But who could understand her current feelings?
Facing imminent death, no one could stay calm, right?
She spent her days reading Brother Daoâs related news, and she watched every person that Brother Dao followed on live streams.
Even though Beauty wasnât followed by Brother Dao, in practice, there wasnât much difference.
So, when Beauty started her early morning live stream, Sister Zhou decided to watch.
Thatâs how she witnessed the scene just now.
Now, Sister Zhou truly regretted her decisions.
But regrets were of no use now.
She thought for a while.
In the end, she gritted her teeth and sent a private message to Beauty.
Though they werenât very close, they did know each other.
âBeauty, can I come and stay at your shop?â
It was straightforward and simple.
After sending the message, her whole being was anxious. She didnât know whether Beauty would agreeâ¦
When Beauty had just reached her phone after delivering breakfast to Li Yidao, she saw the private message from Sister Zhou.
To be honest, she was taken aback for a moment and didnât know how to reply.
Sister Zhou wanted to stay? Would Brother Dao get angry if he found out? Sister Zhou captured her expression, which was broadcasted to the live stream audience.
Instantly, her heart sank.
This reaction was as expectedâ¦
A bitter smile appeared on her face.
If she put herself in Beautyâs shoes, she probably wouldnât agree either, right?
After all, everyone knew Brother Daoâs temperament.
Beauty had managed to find a loophole.
If Sister Zhou went over, it might direct Brother Daoâs displeasure toward herâ¦
At present, it was unrealistic for her to acquire another shop in Brother Daoâs vicinity.
In fact, it might intensify his aversion to her.
However, just when she was feeling desperate, Li Xinting hesitated for a moment and sent a reply to Sister Zhou.
âSister Zhou, I would definitely love for you to come and stay with me. But you know our current situation.â
âIâll ask Brother Dao for his opinion and then let you know. How does that sound?â
After all, she and Sister Zhou were quite familiar with each other.
Even though they hadnât met in person, they had communicated a lot.
She knew about Sister Zhouâs current situation, and the agony of waiting for the grim reaperâs judgment.
So, she decided to ask Li Yidao⦠whether it was feasible or notâ¦
It might just bring her a bit of reliefâ¦
For both her and Sister Zhou, this might be a way to find solace in each other.
However, what she didnât know was that some things were not as simple as she thought.
Sister Zhouâs arrival might bring misfortune rather than fortune!
