Why was Zi Ju Shu Bai always concerned with girls?!
Qi Guan Rui’s mood instantly became horrible.
If he hadn’t suppressed it with great might, then his face would’ve probably become twisted as well.
It has already happened many times, Zi Ju Shu Bai seemed to have a natural curiosity for these women, every single time… every single time, the first thing he asked about was always them.
They haven’t seen each other for so many days, he had missed Zi Ju Shu Bai so much, yet, for Zi Ju Shu Bai, he never even thought of him!
It really was… unbearable =皿=
Gu Bai was currently in a hug with Qi Guan Rui, to be honest, even though it was a bit embarrassing, he’d also missed his Gu Xiao Shan a bit, so he just allowed the other to hug and rub him however he wished. But it really was a bit shameful in public with so many people, so he decided to change the topic.
Yet for some unknown reason, after he changed the topic, he suddenly shivered.
After some thought, Gu Bai reached his hands out to push Qi Guan Rui away.
Hugging was fine, but hugging for too long might seem too gay, so let’s calm down a bit still, hun.
Then he saw his Xiao Shan’s face darkening.
… Just as Qi Guan Rui could see Gu Bai’s wavering emotion under his stoic face, even though Gu Bai was slower than Qi Guan Rui, he could still see a little at times.
Like now, didn’t he immediately realize the forcefulness under that smile?
And so, Gu Bai furrowed his brows.
Did someone bully Xiao Shan?
Instantly, Gu Bai started imagining.
That was right, he ran to the Manual Tower by himself to be in secluded cultivation, so Gu Xiao Shan, as his personal guard who watched his yard, would have no support. Usually, when he went out to do things for him, many rich good-for-nothings/high-status young masters could be seen every second, if he was somehow targeted by one of them, wouldn’t they make him suffer greatly?
His heart squeezed, when Gu Bai looked at Qi Guan Rui, there was a bit of pity.
What a child with a harsh life, your big bro will treat you well.
For Qi Guan Rui forgetting himself was also only something that passed in a blink of an eye, he very quickly spoke in grievance, “Gege, why do you ask about someone else right after returning…”
…His skill at acting soft and cute was definitely not malfunctioning.
Those pitiful looking eyes hit Gu Bai right on target, then he finally realized.
Fuck! So, this boy was jealous!
Good thing it wasn’t bullying… after having those thoughts first, Gu Bai was suddenly at loss as to cry or laugh.
He knew that this boy needed love, after all, he thought of him as family, well, the possessiveness of a little kid can be understood.
Though of course, the subtle joy in his heart wasn’t excluded either.
He didn’t just “forget his bro for women”, as expected, Gu Xiao Shan still doesn’t understand love, in the end, he was still the most important as the elder brother, hahahaha!
Clearing his throat, Gu Bai decided to comfort him, “I’ve never seen her before, yet she knows you, naturally, I shall ask about the unapparent details to finally be reassured.”
Qi Guan Rui’s eyes immediately lit up in a woosh.
If this was a comic, the great, twisted shadow behind him would definitely be seen fading away like flowing water, even though this wasn’t a comic, it also made the surrounding temperature slowly rise back up. Now, it wasn’t as questionably spine-shivering as earlier.
Seeing Qi Guan Rui’s smile, Gu Bai’s mood became very good as well.
Then, Leng Xianyun, who’d been neglected on the side for a long while also spoke up, “City Governor of Tian Du Cheng, I’ve heard much about you.”
Qi Guan Rui’s face darkened.
The atmosphere was just good, he was just about to keep trying to dig out a few more good words from Zi Ju Shu Bai’s mouth, and it was instantly ruined!
If he’d known earlier that Zi Ju Shu Bai was coming out of secluded cultivation today, he would’ve never gone shopping with this woman!
Gu Bai had no expression, “Who are you?”
The chick Leng Xianyu’s breathing stagnated, she was still a great beauty, no matter how reserved she was, she knew that her own name had spread far. Now that she met a person who didn’t know it, she immediately felt very odd. But the chick’s mind was sturdy, she instantly reacted, “Leng Xianyun.”
Gu Bai nodded, “Zi Ju Shu Bai.”
The two ice mountains faced each other with no words exchanged for a period.
Cold wind passed between the two, rolling up a piece of withered leaf on the ground, and it also spun once before flowing away lonesomely.
Then, as if they’d reached some kind of agreement, after Gu Bai and The Chick Leng Xianyun eyes had met for a period, The Chick Leng Xianyun nodded at Qi Guan Rui as well, and left.
Seeing such a tacit understanding, Qi Guan Rui softly whispered in Gu Bai’s ear, “Gege, what did you say to her?”
Gu Bai glanced at him with quite a weird look.
Boi, did you not realize that your bro, I, actually didn’t say anything?!
If you really interrogate me on what I said to that lady, your bro, I, don’t know either! Ice mountain chicks are always hard to see through, she looked at your bro, I, not saying anything, so to keep a gentlemanly figure, your bro, I, also merely looked at her, who knows what she was thinking!
As can be easily seen, there was eye contact, but there was really no tacit understanding.
At least there was none on Gu Bai’s side.
Qi Guan Rui really quickly realized this, so he didn’t care for it again.
He grabbed Gu Bai’s hand and smiled, “Gege, let’s go eat together.”
Gu Bai nodded happily.
It was really harsh to starve for two months with only some stale stocks, right now was just the right time to fill his stomach up.
So, the two held hands as they walked straight to Gu Bai’s small restaurant.
Oh! What a male dog couple[1]!
Once the surrounding crowd saw there was no show to watch anymore, even though still unsatisfied, they also went their own ways after calling it to be over.
The small restaurant was certainly a small restaurant, the door was very big, but the winning part was that there were many seats inside, prices weren’t expensive, and it was also clean and tidy.
As time went by, the death warrior also gradually started to hire some chefs, servers and such workers to help out, while they were responsible for looking after the store and training employees. Their main mission, nevertheless, was to listen to all types of gossip in the restaurant, and find important information from it.
It was clear that even when Qi Guan Rui was busy with his own business, he didn’t neglect to patrol this place, the death warriors mixed pretty well with him as they all had a good impression towards him.
But right after they greeted Qi Guan Rui, who came in first, they saw Gu Bai behind him…
In an instant, sincere tears oozed in their eyes.
The city governor’s here, bark!
Gu Bai somehow felt a bit of brightness.
Qi Guan Rui smiled slightly, he pulled him over, “Gege, let me find a quiet place for you to sit.”
Death warriors A, B, C, D came to the place the two were seated at a speed that seemed like they’d flown, and they uniformly stood in a row.
“Greetings, city governor!”
Gu Bai stilled a bit, “You guys did well.”
Fuck, what the heck’s up with this type of “Greetings leader, let us pay respect to leader. Greetings comrades, comrades, you guys have worked hard,” vision?!
Qi Guan Rui poured a cup of tea for Gu Bai, “Gege, relax your throat first, I will order for Gege.”
Gu Bai’s attention was brought back to Qi Guan Rui, “Okay.”
To be stared at by the loyal dogs’ fierce eyes non-stop also made your bro, I, very pressured, many thanks Gu Xiao Shan for rescuing me, your bro!
Qi Guan Rui smiled towards the four loyal dogs, “Since the city governor has finally come, how about you guys show your skills, it will also relieve the city governor.”
The light within the loyal dogs’ eyes became even brighter, they all held one fist in a palm, “Yes!”
That was right! We need to let the city governor see our capability!
Then with a “shoo” sound, they all went into the kitchen.
After chasing away the light bulbs, Qi Guan Rui watched Gu Bai drink tea with a smile, he had an extremely gentle look.
Gu Bai took a sip and expressed that it was pretty good.
…Actually, he didn’t know how to identify good tea at all, he only knew how to act cool.
The two just sat quietly as they waited for the food, since it wasn’t meal time yet, people hadn’t filled the small restaurant yet. There were about forty to fifty tables, only a little over ten tables were full, there was quite a bit of space separating each, so it didn’t seem very crowded either.
It certainly was quite pleasant.
Gu Bai and Qi Guan Rui were just enjoying this peaceful atmosphere, and suddenly, a group of people walked in through the door.
The leading one was eight chi[2] tall, he had a handsome face, magnificent clothes, he was obviously a tall, rich, and handsome man! But the look in his eyes was just a bit greasy and frivolous, both his left and right arm held a beautiful girl with revealing clothes, he seemed very much like an unrestrained playboy who was in such great joy!
Oh, another rich good-for-nothing.
Hao Yang City was certainly a famous city where martial arts were popular, plus they had the Qing Tian Academy’s name hanging there as well, but since it was an extremely prosperous big city, there were definitely many families with stocked wealth or authority here.
And when it was a family, not every member would be successful in it. Characters like rich good-for-nothings, two hundred and fifties[3], evil young masters and such also appeared often. As long as these people didn’t cause a great ruckus that couldn’t be tolerated, then they most likely can continue to tyrannically abuse their power.
According to usual logic, a rich good-for-nothing like that wouldn’t come to a small restaurant, their goal would be a luxurious restaurant.
But everything had an exception, the novels on the Shi Dian website also didn’t need logic. So, the tall, rich, and handsome dudes would always change up their taste by spending money on a small restaurant/street food/any place that normal people go to, and would always tease some nice family’s women/girls/soft chicks as well. If they happened to be there for a situation of one selling themselves for their father’s funeral, then they would overtake the spot of ferocious, pugnacious-looking bullies from the ancient times even more. They just had to act out the cruel and evil canon fodder number 1’s role dedicatedly.
Gu Bai remembered how he’d also -distastefully- fixed up such a scene. The psycho protagonist was eating at a small restaurant when he happened to see a chick being forcefully taken away by an evil young master. Since he thought the chick’s crying face looked pretty good (standardized), he decided to get rid of the evil young master along the way as he made the chick a member of his harem.
Of course, that chick actually had a background too. She had a treasure map passed down from her ancestors on her, and only her blood could lead the treasure map to point out the treasure’s direction. After rolling in the sheets with the psycho protagonist, she devoted her heart to the protagonist fully and acquired all the treasure map’s wealth for the protagonist. Sadly, the chick herself wasn’t strong, her appearance also wasn’t the ‘beautiful out of this world’ type, so after the hot moment, she also drowned in the vast harem sea.
This rich good-for-nothing embracing someone on both his left and right sparked Gu Bai to think back to the novel’s scenes, then also suddenly made him slightly worried.
What if… the psycho protagonist comes to eat in his small restaurant when he attends the academy in the future?
The protagonist directly represented trouble, out of nowhere, people would flip tables and get into a fight. Let us not even talk about how someone could get hit to the point of bleeding all over the ground and it’d be hard to clean up first, but if the plants in his restaurant were hit…… ah no, the tables and chairs, it’d also be very annoying to change them out!
Then, his loyal dogs and Gu Xiao Shan will have to work hard again…sigh.
Gu Bai drank his tea in silence, to relive the enormous amount of pressure inside of his heart.
Qi Guan Rui filled his cup again, where was Zi Ju Shu Bai daydreaming off to again…
Whatever, it’d be fine as long as he doesn’t have an interest in other people.
Just as the pressure inside of Gu Bai built up bit by bit, as expected, something happened over at that rich good-for-nothing’s side!
As usual, the great young master, who’d been with countless beauties, took a fancy to the shriveled little cauliflower in the corner, he swayed his way over with a “ehehehe” laugh.
That perverted expression, that wretched motion of hands rubbing, that standard tone of “little beauty”… this was without a doubt, making a clear announcement that even though this person was a rich, good-for-nothing, he was the lowest rich, good-for-nothing of the rich, good-for-nothings; at the bottom of the food chain. A cannon fodder that would never have a great part, an extra with lines so little that they are easily neglected.
The action of his now, which was written as “flirting”, was read as “death-seeking”.
