Chapter 18: CH 17.1

Unedited

He hurriedly left after saying that, leaving the assistant in place.

Du Huai’an got off the elevator, his footsteps breezy. He thought about whether he should buy gifts for Jiang Jiu during the journey back tonight or not when a familiar back appeared before his eyes. Du Huai’an’s footsteps paused.

Bai Zhi was crouching on the flight of steps outside of the door, a grey parrot standing on his shoulder. Together, they blankly gazed at the street across in boredom.

He coughed and the man and bird turned around at the same time, looking at him with their two beady eyes.

Du Huai’an suddenly laughed out loud and waited till Bai Zhi stood up and swatted his butt before he restrained a bit of his smile. He walked over, holding Bai Zhi.

“Did you wait for me to go home?”

Bai Zhi nodded.

Du Huai’an had felt that all of the day’s fatigue had disappeared without a trace in an instant. He rubbed Bai Zhi’s head, leading the man back. “Why didn’t you go in? Why did you wait1 outside?”

“I was afraid I would bother you and there are people inside,” Bai Zhi obediently replied. “The sun is outside, I’m comfortable basking in the sun.”

“DouDou was also very comfortable,” after saying that, he also pointed to the grey parrot to the side.

The parrot flapped its wings as a response to those words.

Warmth was in Du Huai’an’s eyes. He held Bai Zhi’s hand even tighter, asking for his thoughts as he walked.

“I’ve been quite busy recently, can you wait for me for a bit of time?”

Bai Zhi nodded, “It’s not a problem, I’ll wait for as long as you want!”

He was originally the good2 villain’s little brother. Now, the villain was so far away from his miserable ending and also has his own career, how could Bai Zhi not support him?

“Can I send money to you? I have quite a lot of pocket money.”

Bai Zhi pulled the corner of his jacket and Du Huai’an helplessly smiled, “All right, then from now on, you’ll be my biggest financial backer and first in line at all times, okay?”

Bai Zhi lowered his head and foolishly laughed.

“Du Huai’an.”

“Yeah?”

“You really are nice,” Bai Zhi thought for a while, very seriously speaking.

Du Huai’an didn’t speak at hearing what he said, his footsteps, however, got lighter and lighter. Bai Zhi moved over, wanting to see his reaction. However, he was flicked on the forehead by a large hand.3

Du Huai’an’s voice then came through, “I got it, I like you too.”

“Ah?” Bai Zhi felt his forehead with his hand, saying, “I said that you really are nice just now, not that I like you. Why did you say ‘too’?”

“Okay,” Du Huai’an immediately answered. “Then I’ll rephrase it. I like you.”

“I, I……” Bai Zhi’s words were stuck, unable to finish saying the sentence for a long time.

Du Huai’an, however, shifted the subject, “What do you want to eat when we get home?”

“Meat!” Bai Zhi answered very quickly.

“All right, as you wish,” Du Huai’an nodded. “What about tomorrow?”

“Meat!”

“And the day after tomorrow?”

“Meat!”

“How about I cook meat every day in the future for you?”

“Okay, okay, okay!”

Du Huai’an’s eyes slightly stirred, he very naturally went on to ask, “How about I cook it for you for the rest of your life? Just us two.”

Bai Zhi habitually nodded, “Okay!”

Du Huai’an laughed out loud, his steps accelerating, his voice lightly floating into Bai Zhi’s ear.

“Then it’s a deal, it’s for a lifetime. No one is allowed to back out.”

……

The trajectory of this world had already completely deviated from its previous plot. Without the villain, Du Huai’an’s4, various obstructions, the male and female lead did not go through a dogblood plot of ‘I love you but misunderstand you, et cetera’, rather, it changed into a very odd path. Bai Zhi heard information from time to time, it said that the Ke family’s eldest daughter was robbing money from perverted thieves, et cetera, et cetera, beating them until they cried.

Bai Zhi: ……It’s none of my business, I didn’t do it on purpose at the time.5

But, even then, the male and female lead still got together. When they received the invitation card, Ke Yun had white, gauze clothing, her long hair reaching her shoulders, stunning everyone in the hall. Bai Zhi stood in the corner, watching her get met with blessings as she headed for her beloved, undisguised excitement and happiness on her face. Pink petals were sprinkled over the hall, the sound of violins fluttering all around.

Zenne: Ahhh, the ML and FL of the world still got together, lmao. I thought the FL would’ve gone with someone else. Also, I didn’t plan on splitting the chapter but my teachers just had to assign a shit load of homework since it’s nearly Easter break, huh.   The next part will come tomorrow, though!
