《I Can See The Success Rate》
Chapter 1
In a rented apartment in Hang City, China.
"Sigh, my new book flopped again. It seems I''m really not cut out for writing novels..."
Bai Wu looked at the author''s backend data and sighed.
The title of this new book was "Starting to Raise a Slime from Today," which was inspired by a recently popular novel about raising dragons.
The general plot was about a magician protagonist who accidentally binds to a slime ranch system, allowing him to cultivate various slimes, like slimes that can use five-element magic, holy magic, or even breathe dragon''s breath, and then show off and rise to prominence.
Bai Wu thought he could at least get a taste of the success following the big names in dragon-raising, but unexpectedly...
Three days after publishing, the book had less than a hundred collections, and all the flower ratings and votes were from himself...
"Sigh~ Forget it, forget it. I''m quitting. I should just find a stable job!"
Bai Wu shook his head, closed his computer, and left the apartment, planning to visit the nearby job market.
***
As he passed by a lottery shop, Bai Wu suddenly stopped.
"Take a gamble, turn a bike into a motorcycle?"
With that thought, Bai Wu walked into the lottery shop.
"Boss, give me a five-yuan scratch card, just that ''Five Blessings'' one!"
The lottery shop owner opened the cabinet, took out a stack of ''Five Blessings'' cards, glanced at Bai Wu, and asked, "Which one do you want?"This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road. If you spot it on Amazon, please report it.
"Just pick any one..."
Bai Wu said casually, then suddenly froze.
Because he saw floating percentage numbers above the stack of scratch cards.
0%, 100%, 0%, 100%, 0%, 100%
What¡¯s going on? Did I pull an all-nighter writing last night and now I''m seeing things? Bai Wu was puzzled, shook his head, rubbed his eyes, and looked again. The percentage numbers were still floating above the scratch cards.
"Here you go!"
The owner, puzzled by Bai Wu''s head-shaking and eye-rubbing, handed him the top scratch card.
"Oh, oh!"
Bai Wu glanced at the scratch card handed over by the owner, and it still had the floating percentage number, 100%.
"What is this?"
Bai Wu''s curiosity grew.
He took a coin and quickly scratched the card.
Won ten yuan!
Bai Wu stared at the card, pondered for a few seconds, and a bold idea emerged.
Looking up, he said, "Boss, give me two more, I want these two!"
Bai Wu chose two scratch cards with 100% floating above them.
He scratched them one by one with a coin.
The first one, won five yuan.
The second one, won five yuan.
"Boss, give me two more, I want the one in the middle and the eighth one!"
Bai Wu picked two more scratch cards with 100% floating above them.
Scratched them one by one.
The first one, won fifty yuan.
The second one, won five yuan.
"Damn, is it true? Could it be that the floating percentage numbers on these scratch cards indicate the probability of winning?"
Bai Wu felt an inexplicable excitement, took a deep breath, and said, "Boss, give me eleven more, I want this one, that one..."
This time, Bai Wu chose ten with 100% and one with 0%.
"Young man, are you sure?" the owner asked, taking a drag on his cigarette.
"Absolutely!" Bai Wu replied without hesitation.
Scratched them one by one.
Won five yuan, ten yuan, five yuan, twenty yuan, fifty yuan, five yuan, one hundred yuan, five yuan, five yuan, ten yuan.
In total, it was two hundred and fifteen yuan!
All ten scratch cards with 100% floating above them won something.
The only scratch card with 0% floating above it did not win.
"Damn, can I really see the success rate?"
Bai Wu''s eyes widened in disbelief.
Beside him.
The lottery shop owner, seeing Bai Wu''s expression, patted his shoulder and advised earnestly, "Young man, I''ve told you, small bets are fun, big bets are harmful. You should have stopped after winning fifty yuan, now it''s not worth it, is it?"
"Boss!"
Bai Wu pushed the ten winning scratch cards toward the owner and said, "Give me ten twenty-yuan scratch cards and one ten-yuan scratch card. The remaining five yuan can cover the cost of my first five-yuan card!"
The owner was stunned.
He checked each winning card one by one.
"Damn!"
The owner''s hand shook, and he couldn''t help but curse, "Young man, are you sure you still want to buy? Take my advice, stop now, or you''ll end up losing the two hundred yuan. With lottery tickets, only a very few actually make a profit..."
In the end.
Despite the owner''s advice, Bai Wu insisted, and the owner handed over ten twenty-yuan scratch cards and one ten-yuan scratch card as requested.
Among them, seven of the twenty-yuan scratch cards had 100% floating above them, the remaining three had 0%, and the ten-yuan card also had 100%.
Rubbing his hands together, he scratched them one by one.
The eight scratch cards with 100% floating above them won twenty yuan, fifty yuan, twenty yuan, twenty thousand yuan, twenty yuan, one hundred yuan, two hundred yuan, and ten yuan, totaling twenty thousand four hundred and twenty yuan!
The three scratch cards with 0% did not win anything.

Chapter 2
Staring at the twenty thousand and four hundred yuan that had just been deposited into his Alipay account, Bai Wu fell into deep thought.
"First of all, it''s certain that the percentage numbers floating above these lottery tickets represent the success rate of winning. 0% means no win, 100% means a guaranteed win, but the prize amount is unknown!"
Bai Wu couldn''t help but feel excited, "If only I could know the prize amount. If I could know the probability of these tickets winning a hundred yuan or other amounts, that would be great!"
Just as the thought crossed his mind.
Suddenly.
Bai Wu''s gaze inadvertently swept over a stack of ten-yuan scratch cards called "Sure Win" in the cabinet.
He froze.
Because he noticed that the success rates floating above this stack of tickets were not just pure 0% and 100%.
0%, 0%, 0%, 10%, 100%, 0%, 200%, 50%...
"Hmm?" Bai Wu raised an eyebrow, deep in thought.
While Bai Wu was pondering, the lottery shop owner also fell into contemplation.
No, to be precise, he started questioning life.
He had been running this lottery shop for almost ten years and had seen many lucky people, but someone like Bai Wu, who won as easily as drinking water, he had never encountered!
"Boss, give me a few more of those ten-yuan ''Sure Win'' scratch cards, I want these ones!"Reading on this site? This novel is published elsewhere. Support the author by seeking out the original.
This time, Bai Wu selected three with 10%, three with 20%, two with 50%, and the only ones with 100% and 200%, spending a total of one hundred yuan.
"Young man, honestly, you should quit while you''re ahead. Luck is really unpredictable..." the owner advised earnestly.
Bai Wu looked up and grinned at the owner, saying, "No worries, I feel pretty lucky today. I''ve already made twenty thousand yuan, so this hundred doesn''t matter. If I don''t win, I''ll just consider it a contribution to the national welfare!"
The owner took a deep breath and said nothing more, tearing off ten tickets as Bai Wu requested, one by one.
Bai Wu scratched them off in order of the percentage, from smallest to largest.
Under the owner''s watchful eyes, Bai Wu scratched off the first 10% ticket and won ten yuan.
"Hehe, looks like my luck''s still here!" Bai Wu scratched his head and gave the owner a silly grin.
The owner''s expression remained unchanged, with a slight smile.
Winning ten yuan on a ten-yuan scratch card was nothing unusual.
Bai Wu scratched off the second 10% ticket and won ten yuan!
The third 10% ticket, ten yuan again!
The first 20% ticket, twenty yuan!
The second 20% ticket, twenty yuan!
The third 20% ticket, twenty yuan!
At this point, the owner''s mood began to waver.
Winning on six consecutive scratch cards, while not earth-shattering, was certainly extraordinary.
Bai Wu scratched off the first 50% ticket and won fifty yuan.
Looking up to meet the owner''s wide-eyed gaze, Bai Wu flashed a simple smile, muttering to himself, "My luck is really good today, I won again!"
Owner: "..."
The second 50% ticket, fifty yuan!
Owner: "..."
The 100% ticket, one hundred yuan!
Owner: "..."
The 200% ticket, two hundred yuan!
Owner: "..."
With that, all ten tickets were scratched off.
Bai Wu stared at the ten scratched tickets, deep in thought, as a theory began to form.
A few seconds later, he turned his gaze to another type of ten-yuan scratch card.
Above these tickets, various percentage numbers floated as well.
10%, 100%, 0%, 0%, 20%, 50%...
"If only I could know the success rate of these tickets winning fifty yuan!"
As soon as the thought crossed his mind, Bai Wu saw the floating percentage numbers above these tickets begin to change.
Originally 10% became 20%; 100% became 200%; 20% became 40%; 50% became 100%.
"Just as I thought!"
Seeing this, Bai Wu was delighted, confirming his theory.
To verify his theory firsthand, Bai Wu raised his head again, scratching his head with a simple smile, and said to the owner, "Heh, heh, boss, it seems my luck is really good today!"
"Your luck is just ''good''!!!? What good deed did you do in your past life to have such luck?"
The owner was dissatisfied with Bai Wu''s understatement of ''good luck'' and couldn''t help but retort.
"Heh, heh..."
Bai Wu ''grinned,'' "Since my luck is so extraordinary today, boss, I plan to strike while the iron is hot. Give me twenty of these ''Lucky Six'' ten-yuan scratch cards, I want these ones!"
This time, among the twenty tickets, Bai Wu deliberately chose ten with 0%.
This was to avoid drawing too much attention and to prevent the owner from becoming more suspicious.
Having good luck is fine, but having it repeatedly and excessively is a big problem!
Chapter 3
"Young man, winning is winning, and luck is luck. Don''t get too caught up in it. Across China, there are tens of millions of lottery players, but only a few actually win big. The odds of winning are very slim..." The shop owner advised earnestly once again.
"No worries, boss. I''m feeling lucky today. Maybe all twenty of these lottery tickets will win again? Even if I lose, I don''t care. It''s just two hundred bucks, and I''ve already made over twenty thousand today!"
Bai Wu scratched his head with a carefree smile.
The owner: "..."
Following Bai Wu''s request, the owner tore off twenty ten-yuan scratch cards one by one.
Without a word, Bai Wu picked up a coin and casually selected one from the twenty tickets handed over by the owner.
Under the owner''s watchful eyes, Bai Wu scratched the ticket.
No win!
"Whew~"
Bai Wu clearly noticed the owner breathe a sigh of relief.
"Young man, I told you, luck is fickle and unreliable!" the owner said kindly.
Bai Wu picked another ticket with a 0% success rate and scratched it.
No win!
Third ticket, no win!
Fourth ticket, no win!
Fifth ticket, no win!
After scratching ten tickets in a row, none of them won.This narrative has been unlawfully taken from Royal Road. If you see it on Amazon, please report it.
Bai Wu''s expression turned ''unpleasant.''
The reason for the quotation marks is that this unpleasant look was something Bai Wu put on.
In contrast, the owner let out several breaths of relief.
Seeing Bai Wu''s unpleasant expression, the owner patted his shoulder and advised earnestly again, "Sigh, young man, I told you to quit while you''re ahead. Luck is unreliable, and you didn''t believe me. I guess winning earlier, even scratching a twenty-thousand-yuan prize, has drained all your good luck for the year!"
Bai Wu silently glanced at the remaining ten unscratched tickets, noticing one with a success rate as high as 30,000%, his expression grew even more ''unpleasant,'' his fists clenched, and he remained silent.
"How about this, young man? I''ll refund you a hundred yuan, and let''s forget about the remaining ten tickets. With your current luck, having even one winning ticket among them would be quite good!" the owner advised earnestly, and Bai Wu could faintly sense a hint of schadenfreude in the owner''s words.
People are such creatures; they envy others'' good fortune and secretly rejoice in others'' misfortune.
"No need, boss, but thanks for your kindness!"
Bai Wu still wore an ''unpleasant'' expression as he declined, "I refuse to believe that out of these ten tickets, I can''t scratch a single winning one!"
"Young man, let it go. A hundred yuan is still something..." the owner advised.
"It''s just a hundred yuan, I don''t care. I''ve already made over twenty thousand pure profit today!"
Bai Wu waved dismissively, "I was just bored and wanted to scratch a ticket for fun. Who knew I''d be so lucky to win twenty thousand yuan! Twenty thousand yuan, that''s equivalent to five months of my salary~"
The lottery shop owner paused, initially feeling secretly pleased that Bai Wu had scratched ten non-winning tickets.
But now...
Bai Wu kept mentioning the twenty thousand, making the owner both envious and jealous.
"You, sigh, whatever, do as you please!" The owner shook his head helplessly.
Bai Wu picked up the coin again.
Under the owner''s watchful eyes, he began his winning streak.
First ticket, 20% success rate, won ten yuan!
"Heh, heh heh..."
Bai Wu immediately looked up at the owner, ''innocently'' scratching his head with a smile, "Boss, looks like my luck is back!"
The owner smiled calmly.
Second ticket, 100% success rate, won fifty yuan!
"Wow, won again, fifty yuan!" Bai Wu exclaimed ''excitedly.''
The owner nodded calmly.
Third ticket, 20% success rate, won ten yuan.
"Boss, boss, I won again!" Bai Wu waved the ticket in his hand.
The owner smiled slightly.
Fourth ticket, 20% success rate, won ten yuan.
"Sigh, won again, only ten yuan!" Bai Wu muttered with disdain.
The owner forced a smile.
Fifth ticket, 50% success rate, won twenty-five yuan.
The owner: "..."
***
The last ticket, 30,000% success rate.
Bai Wu didn''t scratch it immediately.
Instead, he held the coin, glanced at the nine scratched tickets, and muttered, "After scratching nine tickets, the highest prize is only a hundred yuan. That''s too little..."
The owner''s mouth twitched twice.
"Heavenly spirits, earthly spirits, Grand Supreme Elderly Lord, please bless me. Let this last ticket win a prize over ten thousand!" Bai Wu muttered to himself.
"Young man, the odds of winning a ten-thousand-yuan prize from a scratch card are probably 0.0001%, if that. You already had a stroke of luck winning twenty thousand earlier. How could you possibly win again..."
Before the owner could finish, Bai Wu suddenly shouted in surprise, "Fifteen thousand! Boss, fifteen thousand! I won fifteen thousand! I really scratched a ten-thousand-yuan prize! Hahahahaha, my luck is truly extraordinary!"
The owner quickly leaned over to take a look.
The patterns matched.
Damn, he really won fifteen thousand!
A shiver ran through him.
"By the way, boss, what were you saying earlier about a stroke of luck?" Bai Wu suddenly asked.
"Nothing, nothing..." The owner''s hand trembled as he held his cigarette, forcing a smile.
Chapter 4
"Ding~~~"
The sound of an Alipay transfer rang out.
Bai Wu glanced at the newly credited fifteen thousand yuan and felt a surge of happiness.
At this moment, the shop owner suddenly realized something.
This isn''t right!
The winning rate of lottery scratch cards is fixed at the time of printing.
Now that Bai Wu has scratched off so many winning tickets, the remaining tickets must have a very low winning rate.
The owner thought about it.
If a customer comes to buy scratch cards later and ends up with only one or two winning out of a dozen...
Thinking of this, the owner shivered.
He looked up and forced a smile at Bai Wu, "Young man, it seems your luck is really good today. While your luck is strong, why not try a few more lottery tickets? You might scratch off another ten-thousand-yuan prize!"
Bai Wu quickly scanned the scratch cards in the display case. After his spree, most of the remaining tickets had a 0% success rate, with a few scattered ten or twenty yuan prizes mixed in.
Bai Wu roughly estimated that after his spree, the winning rate of these scratch cards had dropped to less than 5%. It''s known that the lottery requires a scratch card winning rate of up to 30%.
Shaking his head, he said seriously, "No, no, boss. I think I should stop now! There''s a saying, ''extremes meet,'' and I''ve already hit the peak of my luck with two consecutive ten-thousand-yuan wins. My luck is bound to turn bad after this!"This story is posted elsewhere by the author. Help them out by reading the authentic version.
"Young man, that''s not the right way to think. You''ve already made over thirty-five thousand. While your luck is strong, spend a couple of hundred and try again. You might win another ten-thousand-yuan prize," the owner advised earnestly.
"What if I lose?" Bai Wu asked.
"Even if you lose, it doesn''t matter. You''ve already made over thirty-five thousand. A couple of hundred is nothing," the owner explained.
"A couple of hundred isn''t money? Boss, your awareness isn''t right. Frugality is a traditional virtue of the Chinese people!" Bai Wu now earnestly lectured the owner.
Owner: "..."
Damn frugality!
Damn awareness!
You weren''t saying that earlier!
Weren''t you just saying you didn''t care about a hundred or two?
The owner was utterly confused.
"Boss, I know you''re looking out for me, hoping I''ll make more while my luck is good, but!"
Bai Wu scratched his head with a sincere look and said seriously, "Boss, I thought about it carefully, and I think you''re right. You can''t bite off more than you can chew. One should know contentment and find happiness in it, not be greedy. So I''ve decided to stop for today!"
Owner: "..."
In the end.
Under the owner''s frustrated gaze, Bai Wu turned and leisurely walked towards the door.
At the door.
Bai Wu suddenly stopped.
"My superpower, besides using it for the lottery, I wonder if it can be used elsewhere..."
With this thought, Bai Wu had an idea.
He focused on the door handle, muttering to himself, "I wonder what the success rate of opening the door is?"
The next second.
A percentage appeared on the door handle.
100%.
"Sure enough, I can see it!"
Bai Wu smiled slightly, ready to reach out and push the door open.
At this moment, the percentage on the door handle suddenly changed.
90%!
80%!
50%!
10%!
In just ten seconds, the success rate of opening the door suddenly dropped to 10%.
"Damn! 10%? What''s going on?"
Bai Wu''s pupils contracted sharply, and he quickly stepped back several paces, returning to the counter.
When something unusual happens, something strange is bound to occur!
The success rate of opening the door dropped so quickly; something bad was definitely about to happen!
"Young man, what''s wrong?" the owner asked, puzzled, seeing Bai Wu suddenly return.
"Boss, I don''t know why, but I suddenly don''t feel like going out. I have a feeling something bad will happen..."
Before Bai Wu could finish speaking, suddenly.
The success rate on the door handle dropped to its lowest point¡ª0%.
Immediately after.
A shadow rushed in from afar.
With a loud "bang!"
The shadow crashed directly into the lottery shop''s glass sliding door.
The glass door shattered into pieces on the ground.
"Awoo~~ Woof~~ Woo woo woo~~~"
Then, a long and tragic howl echoed inside the lottery shop.
Bai Wu looked closely and saw a silly Husky lying at the shop entrance, its front paws covering its head, howling.
Apparently, this Husky was the shadow, the culprit that shattered the glass sliding door.
Bai Wu: "..."
Owner: "..."
Chapter 5
"Y-young man, how did you know..."
The shop owner stared wide-eyed, looking as if he''d seen a ghost, and asked shakily.
Bai Wu also felt that his earlier actions were a bit too mystical.
Unhurried and calm, he glanced up at the owner.
"What are the chances of fooling the owner by pretending to be a fortune teller?"
As soon as the thought crossed his mind, a percentage appeared above the owner''s head: 50%.
"What if I add a bit more, claiming my ancestors have been a line of fortune tellers for eighteen generations?"
The success rate rose from 50% to 64%!
"Just barely passing."
Bai Wu muttered to himself, then gave the owner a mysterious smile and said, "Actually, I''m a fortune teller. Don''t confuse me with those frauds under the bridge in the market outside. My family''s fortune-telling lineage dates back to the Zhou Dynasty, with a history of two to three thousand years!"
The success rate above the owner''s head fluctuated: 63%.
"Two to three thousand years of fortune-telling heritage? Young man, let me tell you, I''m a firm believer in science. I don''t believe in any of this supernatural stuff!" the owner said skeptically. "Besides, if your family''s fortune-telling skills have been around for two to three thousand years, why haven''t I heard of it? It should be famous, right?"
"My family has always passed it down through a single line, and..."
Bai Wu sighed and said seriously, "Revealing the secrets of heaven brings divine retribution. My family''s fortune-telling lineage never gets involved in the rise and fall of dynasties, which is why it''s not well-known."
The success rate above the owner''s head wavered slightly, becoming 65%.
Seizing the opportunity, Bai Wu pointed at the scratched lottery tickets on the counter and said, "Owner, you''ve already witnessed my fortune-telling skills!"If you discover this tale on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen. Please report the violation.
The owner was taken aback.
He glanced at the scratched lottery tickets, and his eyes widened suddenly.
The success rate soared to 80%.
"Could it be..."
Before the owner could finish, Bai Wu smiled and said, "That''s right. I just did a fortune-telling for myself about wealth. These winning lottery tickets were all calculated by me! The reason I stopped was because of the backlash from the heavens, and those ten consecutive losing tickets were a sign of that backlash!"
As soon as he said this, the success rate above the owner''s head shot up to 90%.
"So that''s how it is, that''s how it is. I was wondering why I had such good luck, winning two ten-thousand-yuan prizes in a row with scratch cards..." the owner muttered to himself.
"When I was about to leave earlier, I suddenly felt something was off, so I did a quick fortune-telling. It showed that if I continued to lean against this door, there would be a disaster, so I stepped back!" Bai Wu continued.
Success rate: 93%!
"Young man, no, no, Master, Master, I wonder what it costs to have you do a fortune-telling for me. I''d like to have one..." The owner looked at Bai Wu with wide eyes, full of hope.
"Alright, alright!"
Bai Wu stared mysteriously at the owner for a while, then shook his head and said, "Our lineage of fortune-telling emphasizes karma. I just influenced your future business for my own wealth, which is the cause. Where there''s a cause, there must be an effect. So, owner, what would you like to know?"
"I''d like the Master to tell me about my financial luck. My hometown is undergoing demolition recently, but the compensation hasn''t been negotiated yet. I want the Master to tell me how much compensation I should ask for that the other party would accept!" the owner said, looking at Bai Wu with anticipation.
"What do you think is a reasonable price?" Bai Wu asked.
"At least two to three hundred square meters of housing, surely a compensation of ten thousand per square meter is reasonable..." the owner hesitated.
"I see!"
Bai Wu closed his eyes.
"What is the success rate of the owner asking for two million in compensation?"
100%!
"What about three million?"
100%!
"Four million?"
100%!
"Damn, what about five million?"
10%!
"Four million five hundred thousand?"
80%!
"Four million eight hundred thousand?"
50%!
"Four million three hundred thousand?"
99%!
"Four million two hundred ninety thousand?"
100%!
The lottery shop fell silent.
Under the owner''s intense gaze, Bai Wu suddenly opened his eyes.
"Master, did you figure it out?" the owner asked excitedly.
"Yes!"
Bai Wu nodded and said, "Owner, if you ask for four million three hundred thousand, I can guarantee the other party will agree without hesitation. If you ask for four million five hundred thousand, there''s an eighty percent chance they''ll agree. If you ask for four million eight hundred thousand, there''s a fifty percent chance..."
"Four million!!!?"
The owner''s eyes widened, and he couldn''t help but exclaim, "That much? Master, are you sure about this?"
"If the owner doesn''t believe me, you can call them right now and try!"
Bai Wu also wanted to see how powerful his golden finger was.
"Alright, alright, I''ll call, I''ll call right now!"
The owner hurriedly took out his phone and dialed.
A minute later.
"They agreed, they agreed, they really agreed, four million three hundred thousand, they didn''t even think about it, just agreed!"
The owner shouted excitedly, then turned, eyes shining, face glowing, and stared at Bai Wu, "Master, you''re truly a divine calculator. No, no, karma, Master, the result you''ve given me is too great, the karma is unbalanced, no, no, here''s what I''ll do, Master, I''ll transfer three hundred thousand to you as compensation!"
Bai Wu was about to pretend to refuse, but before he could speak, he saw the owner pressing buttons on his phone.
The phone vibrated.
Bai Wu picked up his phone and looked.
"China Construction Bank reminds you, 300,000 yuan has been transferred to your account ending in 2333, balance 336,860 yuan."
Chapter 6
Under the awe-filled gaze of the shop owner, Bai Wu waved his sleeve and left the lottery shop.
The husky that had crashed through the glass door was still lying on the ground, letting out a pitiful howl.
"This stupid husky is really something. I bet it¡¯s wrecked the house more than a few times!"
A percentage appeared above the husky''s head: 100%!
"No wonder it''s the leader of the three sledding fools. A 100% success rate in wrecking the house? Damn, if I were the owner, I''d be driven to a heart attack by it!"
Bai Wu couldn''t help but laugh.
"Awoo~~"
The husky lifted its head and howled at Bai Wu, then got up and wobbled off in another direction.
After a couple of steps, it seemed to slip.
The husky stumbled and face-planted into the ground.
"Awoo~~"
It let out a resentful howl and noticed the culprit that caused its fall¡ªa discarded tennis ball.
It angrily kicked the tennis ball with its right hind leg.
As a result, its right hind leg stepped on the tennis ball and slipped again.
"Awooo~~"
The husky fell to the ground again, all four legs splayed out.
Bai Wu: "..."
The husky seemed to have a vendetta against the tennis ball.
It got up and grabbed the tennis ball in its mouth.
"Awooo~~"This novel is published on a different platform. Support the original author by finding the official source.
It shook its head wildly, venting its frustration on the tennis ball.
Finally, it flung the tennis ball against the nearby wall.
The ball bounced off the wall, hit the ground twice, and then struck the husky on the head.
"Owooo~ Awoo~" The husky howled mournfully, looking up at the sky.
Bai Wu: "..."
He was at a loss for words.
"No, it''s too dangerous to let this purebred husky wander around outside. It might crash into another glass door or bump into someone, and that wouldn''t be good!"
As soon as the thought crossed his mind, a new percentage appeared before Bai Wu''s eyes: 90%.
This indicated that if he left the husky alone, there was a 90% chance it would crash into glass or bump into someone.
Bai Wu felt it was necessary to take care of this husky, but first, he needed to consider his own safety.
"Will I be bitten by this husky?"
0%!
"If I get bitten, will I catch rabies?"
0%!
"Will this husky listen to me?"
100%!
With two 0% and one 100% success rate, Bai Wu felt much more at ease.
He slowly approached the husky.
The husky suddenly lifted its head and stared at Bai Wu.
Bai Wu was startled by its movement but quickly calmed down.
Man and dog stared at each other.
After a few seconds.
Bai Wu suddenly extended a finger towards the husky, beckoning with it, and said, "Hey, stupid dog!"
The next second!
The husky''s tail started wagging rapidly from side to side.
It dashed towards Bai Wu.
When it reached Bai Wu, it tried to brake with its front paws.
But it didn''t stop in time,
And once again demonstrated its unique ability to brake with its face.
Bai Wu: "..."
"Awoo~ Owoo~ Awoo~ Awoo~"
The husky got up and began howling wildly, circling Bai Wu in a clockwise motion.
Bai Wu was speechless.
"What are the chances I''ll find this husky''s owner?"
70%!
"If I head east, what are the chances I''ll find its owner?"
40%!
"What if I head west?"
100%!
Alright, west it is.
"Hey, stupid dog, let''s go!"
Bai Wu called out to the husky, which was having a fit, no, a dog fit, and they headed down the street towards the park in the west.
"What are the chances I''ll find its owner in this small park?"
100%!
"What are the chances I''ll find its owner in the pavilion area?"
0%!
"I..."
***
Following various conditions, Bai Wu tried again and again.
After eight attempts, he finally pinpointed the location of the husky''s owner and successfully found her.
The owner of the husky was a girl, and in Bai Wu''s eyes, her looks could easily score a 90!
"What are the chances that the girl taking selfies is the owner of this husky?"
100%!
"She has such a big heart, taking selfies while her dog is missing!"
Bai Wu couldn''t help but comment as he walked over.
"Hey? You have a husky too? It looks just like my Oreo. Oh, by the way, Oreo is my husky..." Before Bai Wu could say anything, the girl spoke first.
Bai Wu: "..."
Isn''t that obvious?
Don''t they look exactly alike?
Bai Wu was speechless.
"Awoo~~ Owoo~ Awoo~" The husky howled at the girl.
"Wow! Even the howl is the same! Haha, this is so funny!" The girl''s eyes lit up with excitement.
"Actually..."
Just as Bai Wu was about to explain, the girl, after examining the husky, spoke again, "But my Oreo is cuter and more handsome. Your husky looks so dumb. My Oreo is really smart..."
The girl earnestly began analyzing the ''two'' huskies.
"Ahem!"
Bai Wu couldn''t hold back any longer and cleared his throat, "Excuse me, can I interrupt for a moment?"
"My Oreo eats five hundred yuan a bag of premium dog food, its fur grows super well, it''s so smooth, it feels much better than yours... huh? What''s up?" The girl asked, puzzled.
"If there''s no mistake, this husky is your Oreo!" Bai Wu said.
"Hahaha, that''s not funny at all. My Oreo is tied to the park bench over there..."
The girl said, turning to point at the park bench not far away.
At that moment, there wasn''t a husky in sight, not even a dog, just a broken leash tied to the bench.
"Eh, eh... eh!???"
The girl was suddenly stunned, looking down at the husky beside her, and only then noticed the broken leash around its neck.
Chapter 7
They exchanged WeChat contacts.
Then.
This adorable and silly girl named Wu Xiaoxiao, blushing, tugged at the husky''s ear and hurriedly left as if escaping.
Watching Wu Xiaoxiao''s departing figure, Bai Wu shook his head and casually opened her Moments.
She posted on Moments every day, and at least five days a week, she talked about her husky named Oreo destroying the house.
From the kitchen to the living room!
From the living room to the bedroom!
From the bedroom to the bathroom!
Every room had been destroyed at least twice.
"No wonder it''s a dog with a 100% success rate in house destruction, definitely of royal husky lineage!"
Bai Wu couldn''t help but comment, then shook his head and headed home.
***
As he passed the antique street, Bai Wu suddenly stopped.
"Antique street, treasure hunting?"
Bai Wu''s eyes lit up, and without another word, he walked straight into the antique street.
Inside the antique street, people came and went, with shops lined up, and customers coming in and out frequently.
Bai Wu didn''t linger in front of these shops with their classic and ancient decor but headed straight to the free trading market of the antique street.
The so-called free trading market was actually a place where various small vendors set up stalls.This story originates from Royal Road. Ensure the author gets the support they deserve by reading it there.
The free trading market was even more bustling with people.
The vendors shouted and sold their goods nonstop.
Bai Wu had only heard about this free trading market but had never visited it himself.
After all, before, Bai Wu didn''t have much money, and even the cheapest item on these stalls cost two to three thousand.
Bai Wu wandered around the free trading market casually.
Those who came to the free trading market to hunt for treasures were mostly shrewd people, unlike Bai Wu, who wandered aimlessly, looking around.
So in less than a minute, all the vendors knew Bai Wu was a rookie.
To them, a rookie meant easy to fool, which meant money!
So they became particularly enthusiastic towards Bai Wu, their smiles even brighter.
Bai Wu spent half an hour browsing the entire free trading market, satisfying his curiosity, and then returned to the first stall at the entrance to start his treasure hunting plan.
"Young man, take a look, these are all old items passed down in my family. My surname is Li, and I''ve heard my ancestor was Emperor Taizong of Tang, Li Shimin..." the vendor enthusiastically introduced.
"Boss, you go ahead, I''ll just look around!"
After saying that, Bai Wu ignored the vendor and looked at the various antiques on the stall, muttering to himself, "What''s the success rate of buying genuine antiques at this stall?"
As soon as the thought crossed his mind, a percentage appeared before Bai Wu: 100%.
"100%!?"
Bai Wu was stunned.
He glanced at the vendor.
The vendor smiled slightly.
"Could it be that all these items are genuine? But why do I feel something''s off?"
Bai Wu frowned, pondering for a few seconds, and suddenly had a flash of insight.
"That''s it! I know why it''s 100%! It''s my definition of antiques that''s the problem! These items are indeed antiques, but who knows from which era? They might be from the Republic of China period! Even if they''re from the Ming or Song dynasties, they might be so common in the market that they''re worthless, but they still count as antiques!"
Thinking of this, Bai Wu hurriedly changed his internal criteria: "What''s the success rate of buying antiques worth over ten thousand at this stall?"
As soon as the thought ended, the original 100% immediately turned into 0%.
"What about worth five thousand?" Bai Wu changed the criteria again.
0%!
"Four thousand?"
0%!
"Three thousand?"
0%!
"Two thousand?"
0%!
"One thousand?"
0%!
"Five hundred?"
0%!
"Three hundred?"
5%!
Bai Wu''s face turned dark.
He scanned all the items on the small stall, totaling about twenty pieces.
With a 5% chance, it meant only one of these twenty items was worth more than three hundred.
"What''s the success rate of buying antiques from the Republic of China period at this stall?" Bai Wu asked himself.
100%!
"Just as I thought!"
Bai Wu muttered, pointing at a smooth and shiny tiger-head walnut bead, and casually asked, "Boss, how much for this tiger-head walnut bead?"
"Young man, you''ve got a keen eye. This is the most valuable antique here. It''s said that Empress Dowager Cixi played with it. Considering our fate, twenty thousand!" The boss said with a pained expression.
"Twenty thousand!?"
Bai Wu secretly scoffed, "This thing might not even be worth two hundred!"
A percentage appeared: 0%
Without another word, Bai Wu walked to the next stall.
"Hey, hey, hey, young man, don''t go. How about this, I''ll give you a discount, ten thousand, how about ten thousand?" The boss tried hard to retain Bai Wu, but Bai Wu ignored him.
At the second stall.
Bai Wu followed the previous criteria, using ten thousand as the dividing line.
"What''s the success rate of buying antiques worth over ten thousand at this stall?"
10%!
"Hmm? There''s actually a 10% success rate!"
Bai Wu''s eyes lit up and quickly changed the criteria, "What about over twenty thousand?"
10%!
"Thirty thousand?"
10%!
"Fifty thousand?"
10%!
"One hundred thousand?"
10%!
Chapter 8
"Damn, I''m about to pick up a huge bargain!"
When the amount reached a hundred thousand and the success rate was still 100%, Bai Wu knew he was really about to score a big deal.
Keep increasing the bid!
"The success rate of buying an antique worth more than one hundred and fifty thousand from this stall?"
The percentage floating above stall number two didn''t budge, still at 10%.
"Two hundred thousand?"
10%!
"Two hundred and fifty thousand?"
10%!
"Three hundred thousand?"
10%!
***
After adjusting the price over a dozen times, Bai Wu finally determined the value of this antique.
Five hundred thousand!
"Looks like I''m going to make a huge profit this time!"
Bai Wu was thrilled.
Although he had read countless times about such bargain-hunting scenarios in novels, when it actually happened to him, the feeling was indescribably exhilarating.
"Young man, is there anything you like? Just say it, no worries, I run an honest business, definitely not like those unscrupulous vendors who ask for sky-high prices!"
The owner of the stall, a chubby man with a prosperous look, saw Bai Wu staring at his stall for so long, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face as he spoke.
The owner of stall number one had a stiff expression.
The chubby owner gave him a ''sincere'' smile, and the man''s face immediately darkened.This tale has been pilfered from Royal Road. If found on Amazon, kindly file a report.
"I''ll keep looking!"
Bai Wu glanced up, smiled at the chubby owner, and then buried his head back into the ten ''antiques'' on the stall.
There was a 10% chance of successfully buying an antique worth five hundred thousand.
This was a one in ten chance!
Using the process of elimination, Bai Wu began to sift through the ten ''antiques.''
Bai Wu first focused on a porcelain plate on the far left.
"The success rate of someone spending five hundred thousand to buy this antique from me?"
0%!
Pass, eliminate!
"What about this one?"
0%!
"And this one?"
0%!
"This one?"
0%!
***
Finally.
Perseverance pays off.
After seven eliminations, when he reached the eighth bronze wine cup (an ancient cup), the unchanging success rate finally turned to 100%!
"Finally found it!"
Bai Wu''s face lit up with joy, his gaze fixed intently on the bronze wine cup.
The chubby owner''s eyebrows twitched, his eyes rolled, and he began to secretly calculate how to squeeze more money out of Bai Wu.
"What''s up, young man, interested in this bronze wine cup? To be honest, I got this from a rural village, cost me eight thousand bucks. If you really want it, I''ll sell it to you at cost, eight thousand, not a penny more, not a penny less!" the chubby owner said with a sincere smile.
"Eight thousand..."
Bai Wu was tempted, after all, eight thousand compared to five hundred thousand was just a drop in the bucket.
But looking at the chubby owner''s demeanor, Bai Wu felt the price could be negotiated lower, eight thousand wasn''t the lowest price!
Moreover, Bai Wu thought if he didn''t haggle and agreed directly, it might raise the chubby owner''s suspicion. What if he suddenly decided not to sell? Bai Wu would be at a huge loss.
"The success rate of buying the bronze wine cup from the owner for four thousand...?"
100%!
"Damn! Four thousand is already 100%?"
Seeing the 100% percentage above the chubby owner''s head, Bai Wu halved the price again, "Then what''s the success rate if I buy the bronze wine cup for two thousand?"
100%!
"What about one thousand?"
80%!
"Forget it, two thousand it is!"
Bai Wu muttered to himself, looked at the chubby owner with a hesitant expression, and said, "Boss, eight thousand is a bit steep, can you lower it a bit...?"
"Alright, young man, I feel a connection with you, name your price!" the chubby owner said generously.
"Two thousand!" Bai Wu decided swiftly, blurting it out.
The chubby owner''s face stiffened.
After hesitating for a while, he exchanged a glance with Bai Wu.
"Sigh, fine, two thousand it is. Actually, I got two items for eight thousand, sold one already, the other is this bronze wine cup..." the chubby owner sighed as if he had suffered a huge loss.
Money exchanged for goods.
The bronze wine cup worth five hundred thousand was in hand.
Bai Wu carefully wrapped it up and continued browsing the stalls one by one.
***
After Bai Wu walked away, the chubby owner suddenly changed his expression from frustration to smug satisfaction.
"Three hundred bucks for a pile of junk from a rural village, a girl spent nine thousand on a wine jug, and now this fool spent two thousand on a wine cup, making money is just too easy!"
The chubby owner sat on the ground, muttering in a strange voice.
It seemed like he was talking to himself.
But actually...
The owner of stall number one was full of envy, jealousy, and resentment.
At this moment.
A slim woman in red, with a pretty face, walked over quickly from a distance.
"Oh, Old Wang, isn''t that the girl you scammed yesterday, who spent nine thousand on a bronze wine jug? Judging by her expression, she might be here to cause trouble for you?" The owner of stall number one brightened up, looking gleeful.
"I don''t care, the deal is done!"
The chubby owner looked unbothered, like a dead pig unafraid of boiling water.
At this time.
The woman had already arrived in front of the chubby owner.
"This shop is a small business, no refunds after sale!" the chubby owner said first.
"Gone, gone, how is it gone? Why is it missing?"
The woman ignored the chubby owner, instead looking around his stall as if searching for something, muttering continuously.
"Wha-what''s missing?"
The chubby owner wiped the sweat from his forehead, asking cautiously.
For some reason, he had a bad feeling.
"That bronze wine cup!!"
The woman in red looked anxious, raising her head, "I''m willing to pay ten thousand, no, fifty thousand for that bronze wine cup!"
Chapter 9
As soon as these words were spoken, the chubby shop owner froze for a moment.
The next second!
His eyes widened!
His face stiffened.
Beads of cold sweat covered his forehead.
He wiped the sweat with his sleeve, staring cautiously, stammering, "Y-y-young lady, how m-m-m-much did you say?"
"Fifty thousand!" The Little Red-Dressed Beauty held up five fingers.
"Oh my god! Fifty, fifty thousand!!!!?"
The chubby shop owner shivered all over, stumbling back two steps, feeling as if his future had turned dark.
"Boss? Boss? If you think fifty thousand isn''t enough, I can offer more!" The Little Red-Dressed Beauty''s voice rang out again.
"F-fifty thousand isn''t enough, I-I-I can add more..." the chubby shop owner mumbled in a daze.
"Sixty thousand! Boss, will you sell for sixty thousand?"
Chubby shop owner: "..."
"Sixty thousand not enough? Then... seventy thousand!"
Chubby shop owner: "..."
"Eighty thousand!"
Chubby shop owner: "..."
"Boss, what''s wrong with you?" The Little Red-Dressed Beauty noticed the chubby shop owner''s unusual behavior, frowning slightly, she asked.
"All day long hunting geese, only to be pecked by one, foolish, foolish, foolish... my eighty thousand ah~~" The chubby shop owner murmured to himself, full of regret.
"Hahahahaha, Old Wang, honestly, when it comes to business, I''ve never admired anyone, but today, I really have to hand it to you. A pile of junk collected from the countryside for three hundred bucks can actually sell for eighty thousand, tsk, impressive~~~" Vendor No. 1 said in a peculiar tone.This story originates from Royal Road. Ensure the author gets the support they deserve by reading it there.
The chubby shop owner''s face suddenly turned dark.
"One hundred thousand! Boss, I''ll offer one hundred thousand at most!" The Little Red-Dressed Beauty suddenly said firmly.
The chubby shop owner''s face grew even darker, almost like charcoal.
"Sigh~~~ Young lady, let me tell you, just now, Old Wang sold that bronze wine cup! It was just a minute or two ago!"
Vendor No. 1 squinted his eyes, held up two fingers, and continued, "Guess how much it sold for? Two thousand bucks! It sold for a full two thousand! An old item collected from the countryside for a few dozen bucks, selling for two thousand!"
The chubby shop owner''s face was stiff.
"What?! It''s sold!!?" The Little Red-Dressed Beauty was stunned.
"Young lady, wait a moment, I''ll be right back!"
The chubby shop owner suddenly raised his head, with a dark face, said to the Little Red-Dressed Beauty, then turned and chased in the direction Bai Wu had left.
Just as he took a step, a commotion and noise erupted from the center of the free trading market in the distance.
"Three hundred thousand!!?"
"This young man''s luck is incredible, Old Li is actually willing to pay three hundred thousand for this bronze wine cup!"
"Tsk~ Anything that catches Old Wang''s eye must be a good item!"
"I heard this bronze wine cup was found at a stall in our free trading market, and it only cost two thousand!"
"What? It only cost two thousand bucks?"
"Hahaha, I wonder which stall it was found at, the owner must be regretting it now, right?"
"¡"
The chatter came from afar.
"Yo! Old Wang, the bronze wine cup they said was bought for two thousand bucks, wasn''t it the one you sold?" Vendor No. 1 shouted loudly in an exaggerated voice.
"Th-th-three hundred thousand..."
The chubby shop owner''s whole body stiffened, his face ashen.
At this moment, another commotion arose from the center of the market.
Rustle
"Rejected! This young man rejected it!"
"But that''s three hundred thousand!"
"This young man isn''t wise, is he trying to ask for an exorbitant price?"
"My gosh! Three hundred and fifty thousand! Old Li actually raised the price!"
"Oh my god! Something bought for two thousand bucks can actually sell for three hundred and fifty thousand!"
"The person who sold it for two thousand must be heartbroken now!"
"Rejected again, rejected again!"
***
Listening to the commotion from afar, the chubby shop owner''s face grew more and more grim.
It was like he had fallen and accidentally eaten a mouthful of dog poop, feeling utterly miserable!
"Tsk, rejected even at three hundred thousand!
Tsk, Old Wang, the bronze wine cup you sold for two thousand, Old Li is actually willing to pay three hundred and fifty thousand!
Tsk, Old Wang, you might have misjudged this time, not selling even at three hundred and fifty thousand!"
Vendor No. 1 kept lamenting in the chubby shop owner''s ear.
Chubby shop owner: "..."
His intestines were turning green with regret!
"What a hassle!"
The Little Red-Dressed Beauty clenched her delicate fist, secretly spitting in disdain.
After pausing for two seconds, she walked straight towards the center.
The chubby shop owner hesitated for a moment, then followed.
In the center of the market, amidst the crowd.
"Four hundred thousand!"
An elderly man with kind eyes and gray hair held up four fingers, saying, "Young man, I''ll offer four hundred thousand for your bronze wine cup!"
Immediately.
The onlookers erupted in another commotion.
"Not enough!"
Bai Wu shook his head.
Old Li frowned slightly, glanced at the bronze wine cup in Bai Wu''s hands, thought for a few seconds, then said, "Young man, it seems you know the value of this cup, name your price!"
"Five hundred thousand!" Bai Wu continued, "Final offer!"
Rustle!
The crowd erupted in another uproar.
"Five hundred thousand!"
"Is he asking for the moon?"
"This young man really dares to say it!"
***
Facing the doubts coming from all directions, Bai Wu remained unmoved.
Because the success rate above the old man''s head in front of him hadn''t changed at all due to Bai Wu''s sky-high price of five hundred thousand, it was still 100%!
Old Li gave Bai Wu a deep look and said, "Five hundred thousand, deal!"
The chubby shop owner''s eyes rolled upwards.
Chapter 10
"Old Wang! Old Wang, what''s wrong? Are you okay, Old Wang?"
Hearing Old Li say the word ''yes,'' the fat boss who had just squeezed in rolled his eyes, shivered all over, and suddenly felt life was meaningless. He staggered back two steps, fortunately caught by a regular customer who knew him.
"F-f-five hundred thousand..." The fat boss''s eyes widened as he kept muttering.
"Sigh~ Old Wang, you''ve heard about this, haven''t you? This young man''s luck is unbelievable. He bought a bronze wine cup for two thousand yuan, and Old Li is willing to pay Five hundred thousand for it..."
The regular customer supported the fat boss while sighing, "I heard this bronze wine cup was bought at our market. Who knows which stall it came from? They must be regretting it now!"
The fat boss''s face was full of sorrow.
"Hey, wait a minute, Old Wang. Why do you look like this? Could it be that the bronze wine cup was bought from your stall?" The regular customer glanced at the fat boss''s ashen face and suddenly asked.
"Heh, heh heh..."
The fat boss forced a smile, a smile that didn''t reach his eyes, and replied, "How, how could it be? I''ve been in this market for ten years. You all know, if this bronze wine cup was really sold from my stall, how could I not see its value? Right?"
"Hmm~ That''s true..." The person nodded, then asked again, "But why do you look so strange..."
"Ah, the sun is too strong, making me feel uncomfortable all over." The fat boss explained.
"The sun is too strong...?"
The person looked up at the sky, even more puzzled, "But it''s clearly cloudy today?"
"Ah? No, no, it was yesterday''s sun. I''m just feeling uncomfortable today... Forget it, I won''t watch the excitement today. I''ll go back and rest..."
After speaking, the fat boss looked sadly at Bai Wu and the bronze wine cup in his hands, then prepared to leave shakily.
If you come across this story on Amazon, it''s taken without permission from the author. Report it.
Out of sight, out of mind!
"Five hundred and fifty thousand!" The voice of the Little Red-Dressed Beauty suddenly rang out from the crowd.
"Oh my god, I''ve lost big time!" The fat boss''s body stiffened, his movements halted.
Bai Wu looked up and immediately saw the Little Red-Dressed Beauty at the forefront of the crowd.
With a beauty of this caliber, the old Bai Wu wouldn''t even dare to glance at her.
They were clearly from two different worlds!
But now, things were different.
Bai Wu appreciatively sized up the Little Red-Dressed Beauty, then noticed the fat boss''s stiff, dark face not far from her.
Sensing Bai Wu''s gaze, the fat boss forced a grin, baring his teeth, with a smile that was a thousand times more painful than crying.
"Hey!!!"
Bai Wu exaggeratedly pointed at the fat boss, "Boss, you''re here too! I just bought this bronze wine cup from you for two thousand yuan, and it can actually sell for over fifty thousand!"
Fat Boss: "..."
Swish, swish, swish!
As soon as he said this, everyone''s eyes turned to the fat boss''s dark face.
"Isn''t that Old Wang?"
"Gasp~ Even someone as shrewd as Old Wang can make a mistake?"
"My god, Old Wang, did you really sell this bronze wine cup? And for only two thousand?"
"Hahahaha!"
The fat boss''s face was full of embarrassment: "..."
"Well, Old Wang, the stingiest and shrewdest person in the entire antique free trading market, even you have a day like this, hahaha!" The regular customer who had supported the fat boss earlier patted his shoulder and laughed.
The fat boss''s face was covered in black lines.
Ahhhhhhhhhhh!
My reputation, all ruined!
How can I continue to mix here in the future!
***
"Young lady, this is a bit unreasonable. I''ve already agreed on a price with this young man, and now you suddenly step in, what does that mean?" Old Li asked the Little Red-Dressed Beauty with some displeasure.
"Old gentleman, you haven''t completed the transaction yet..." The Little Red-Dressed Beauty explained with a smile.
Both of them turned to look at Bai Wu.
Bai Wu shrugged.
Old Li took a deep breath, and a few seconds later, he spoke, "Five hundred and sixty thousand!"
Fat Boss: "..."
"Five hundred and seventy thousand!" The Little Red-Dressed Beauty didn''t hesitate.
Fat Boss: "..."
"Five hundred and eighty thousand!" Old Li spoke again.
Fat Boss: "..."
"six hundred thousand!" The Little Red-Dressed Beauty looked determined to get the bronze wine cup.
Fat Boss: "..."
"Sev..."
Old Li started to speak, but suddenly paused, staring at the Little Red-Dressed Beauty for several seconds before suddenly asking, "What is your relationship with that old ghost from the Di family?"
The Little Red-Dressed Beauty was taken aback, "My grandfather is Di Menan!"
"Are you the precious granddaughter Di Qingqing that old ghost Di Menan often mentions?" Old Li asked.
"Old gentleman, you are..." Di Qingqing shrank her head.
"It''s really a case of the flood washing over the Dragon King''s temple. You, little girl, are you here to buy this bronze wine cup because of your grandfather?" Old Li laughed.
"Yes, yes." Di Qingqing nodded.
"I am Li Weiguo, like your grandfather, a professor in the history department at Hang City University. Qingqing, you can just call me Grandpa Li!" Li Weiguo said with a kind smile.
"Oh! You are the old immortal my grandfather often mentioned, who grew up wearing open-crotch pants together..."
As Di Qingqing spoke, she realized something was wrong, quickly shook her head, and sweetly called out, "Grandpa Li!"
"Ah, Little Di, how is your old ghost grandfather''s health lately..."
"My grandfather is quite well recently, he goes for a morning run every day..."
"..."
Watching the two of them chat away, Bai Wu''s face was full of black lines.
But considering they were wealthy, Bai Wu didn''t interrupt.
However, five minutes later.
The two were still chatting.
Bai Wu: "..."
Ten minutes later.
"Ahem!"
Bai Wu couldn''t hold back any longer, coughed twice, and asked, "I say, Old Li, Little Di, are you still buying this bronze wine cup?"
Chapter 11
"Take a guess! [New book, please add to your collection!]
[Please add to your collection! Send flowers! Vote! Tip! Everything!]
"Buy it, of course!"
Di Qingqing immediately transferred six hundred thousand to Bai Wu without batting an eye.
Her phone buzzed.
Bai Wu picked up his phone to check.
"China Construction Bank reminds you, your account ending in 2333 has received a transfer of 600,000 yuan, balance 934,860 yuan."
Bought for two thousand, sold for six hundred thousand, a three hundredfold profit!
Sweet!
After receiving the payment, he handed the bronze wine cup to Di Qingqing.
"Little Di, can I have your WeChat?"
Bai Wu explained further, "You seem quite interested in antiques. Leave me your number, just in case I find something good next time, I can contact you!"
"Who are you calling Little Di!!!"
Di Qingqing gave Bai Wu an annoyed glance and said, "You act like you''re older than me!"
"The probability that Di Qingqing is older than me?"
Bai Wu thought, and immediately a percentage appeared above Di Qingqing''s head: 0%!
"Hmph, gotcha!"
This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere.
Seeing 0%, Bai Wu laughed smugly, pretending to calculate with his fingers, and said, "I am indeed older than you, Little Di!"
"You say you''re older, so you''re older?" Di Qingqing retorted.
"I guess Di Qingqing''s age is 20, what''s the success rate?"
100%!
"This girl is twenty, I''m also twenty, I was born on September 30th, so was she born in October?"
0%!
"Could it be November?"
0%!
"December?"
0%!
Bai Wu frowned slightly, "Younger than me, not born in October, November, or December, and the same age as me, could it be she was also born on September 30th?"
100%!
"I was born at 3:23 PM, if she''s younger, was Di Qingqing born between 7 PM and midnight?"
0%!
"After 5 PM?"
0%!
"After 4 PM?"
0%!
"After 3:30 PM?"
0%!
"Damn, such a coincidence?"
Bai Wu couldn''t help but exclaim.
After step-by-step elimination, Bai Wu finally figured out Di Qingqing''s exact birth time, 3:24:36 PM, just a minute after Bai Wu!
"Ah, finally figured it out!"
After a brief silence, Bai Wu suddenly spoke.
"Ridiculous!"
Di Qingqing, who was examining the bronze wine cup, glanced up at Bai Wu and muttered.
"Little Di, don''t say I''m talking nonsense, you should be 20 this year, and you should be born in September, hmm... towards the end of September, to be precise, you were born on September 30th, right?" Bai Wu said, pretending to calculate with his fingers.
At this moment, Di Qingqing was stunned, and couldn''t help but ask, "How do you know?"
"I calculated it!" Bai Wu smiled mysteriously.
"Hmph, pretending to be mysterious!" Di Qingqing snorted.
Bai Wu smiled mysteriously and continued, "Let me calculate again, hmm... there should be no mistake, you should be born in the afternoon of September 30th!"
Di Qingqing''s expression changed, her exquisite and beautiful face filled with shock.
"Let me calculate again..."
Bai Wu closed his eyes pretendingly, and after a few seconds, opened them again: "Hmm~~~ around 3:30 PM on September 30th, that''s your birth time, am I right?"
"You, you... how do you know?" Di Qingqing''s eyes widened.
"Damn, is it true?"
"Does this young man really know fortune-telling?"
"Fortune-telling? It''s the 21st century, how can there be such mysterious things, I think this young man must have collected this information beforehand to impress girls!"
...
"Let me calculate again, it shouldn''t be 3:30, four... 3:24, it should be right, you should be born at 3:24:36 PM on September 30th!" Bai Wu smiled mysteriously at Di Qingqing.
Without a word, Di Qingqing hurriedly took out her phone and dialed a number.
"Hello, Qingqing, what''s up?"
"Mom, what day and time was I born?"
"Around 3:30 PM on September 30th, Qingqing, don''t you even know when you were born?"
"No, no, more specifically, Mom, am I born at 3:24 PM?"
"Hold on, I can''t remember clearly, let me check your birth certificate..."
After a little while.
The voice on the other end of the phone sounded again: "Qingqing, are you listening?"
"Mom, how is it?"
"To be precise, you were born at 3:24:36 PM! It''s written very specifically on the birth certificate! But Qingqing, how did you know? This birth certificate has always been locked in the safe, hello, hello, Qingqing, hello?"
"No, nothing, I was just suddenly curious..."
Di Qingqing hung up the phone, her face full of disbelief.
She looked up at Bai Wu.
Her gaze was filled with shock.
As if she was looking at an alien.
"You, you... how do you know?" Di Qingqing asked, trembling.
"Hehe!"
Bai Wu grinned, beckoned Di Qingqing closer, and said, "Come a little closer, I''ll tell you!"
Di Qingqing, curious, hesitated for two seconds, but finally leaned her ear over.
Bai Wu smirked, "You! Guess!"
Di Qingqing: "..."
Chapter 12
Unfortunately, [New Book, Please Add to Favorites!]
[New Book, Please Add to Favorites! Flowers! Votes! Tips! Everything!]
Di Qingqing looked like she was determined to stick to Bai Wu, her eyes wide open, staring intently at him.
It seemed that as long as Bai Wu didn''t give a reason, she would keep staring at him like this.
"I say, Little Di, if you keep staring at me like that, I''ll get embarrassed, I''ll blush, I''ll be shy..." Bai Wu said, pretending to be bashful and shy.
Di Qingqing: "..."
Her delicate fist clenched, her gaze sharp enough to kill.
"Hahaha, just kidding, just kidding. If I said I was just guessing, would you believe me?" Bai Wu scratched his head and laughed awkwardly, asking.
"Just guessing?" Di Qingqing asked.
"Yeah! Just guessing!" Bai Wu nodded.
"Hehe, you even got the exact time of my birth down to the second, and you tell me you were just guessing? Do you think I''m stupid?" Di Qingqing snorted irritably.
"Yeah!" Bai Wu nodded seriously.
"You!!" Di Qingqing glared angrily.
Unauthorized content usage: if you discover this narrative on Amazon, report the violation.
"Alright, alright, Little Di, I''m not joking with you anymore, I''ll tell you the truth, actually..."
Bai Wu said seriously, "I calculated it!"
"Calculated it?" Di Qingqing was taken aback, "What do you mean calculated it?"
"Just like this, with a pinch of my fingers, I calculated it!" Bai Wu said, extending his right hand and mimicking the gesture.
"Fortune teller? Fraud?" Di Qingqing blurted out.
"Little Di, don''t think all fortune tellers are frauds! I''m not like those fake ones under the bridge, I''ve got real skills! Isn''t it enough that I calculated your birth date down to the minute and second?" Bai Wu asked.
"Who knows if you saw my birth information somewhere!" Di Qingqing said, taking two steps back, a hint of wariness on her face.
"Ah, shut up!" Di Qingqing shouted in exasperation.
"Looking at Di Qingqing like this, could it be she''s never had a boyfriend?"
100%!
"Damn! Really, never had a boyfriend?"
Bai Wu looked up, surprised, at Di Qingqing.
Di Qingqing glared back at Bai Wu, raising her delicate fist, "What are you looking at, never seen a beauty before?"
"Well, I''ve seen plenty of beauties, but a twenty-year-old beauty who''s never been in a relationship, that''s a first today!" Bai Wu said in a peculiar tone.
Di Qingqing: "..."
"Could this guy be...?"
For some reason, this question suddenly popped into Bai Wu''s mind.
Then.
A percentage number floated above Di Qingqing''s head: 100%
"Damn! Really?"
Seeing the big 100% sign floating above Di Qingqing''s head, Bai Wu was stunned.
Damn it!
There are already more men than women, especially beauties like Di Qingqing who score above 90, they''re even rarer.
And yet...
Di Qingqing is actually...?
Damn, what a waste of resources!
No, no!
Bai Wu felt he needed to do something, otherwise, he wouldn''t be at ease.
Thinking this, Bai Wu suddenly said in a peculiar tone, "Little Di, listen to my advice..."
"What do you mean!!!" Di Qingqing shivered all over, her eyes wide, questioning excitedly.
"What do I mean, don''t you understand?" Bai Wu said meaningfully.
"You, you, you..." Di Qingqing''s face suddenly turned very unpleasant.
It looked like the expression of someone who had been found out, fearful, uneasy.
She suddenly anxiously took out her phone, seemingly sending a message to someone.
Then, she suddenly looked up and said to Bai Wu, "Hey, come with me!"
"I''m not called ''Hey''!" Bai Wu smiled, "My name is Qin Aide!"
"Qin Aide, come with me!" Di Qingqing didn''t think much, only realizing she was tricked by Bai Wu after calling him, she directly grabbed Bai Wu''s wrist and pulled him into a nearby alley.
"Tell me, how did you know!?" Di Qingqing questioned.
"Know what?" Bai Wu spread his hands, looking innocent.
"About me and her!" Di Qingqing said coldly.
"I calculated it with a pinch of my fingers." Bai Wu shrugged.
"Stop spouting nonsense!" Di Qingqing''s emotions suddenly erupted, shouting loudly.
Bai Wu suddenly stared deeply at Di Qingqing.
"You, you, you!!!!" Di Qingqing''s eyes widened, as if she had seen a ghost.
Chapter 13
Di Qingqing''s Disaster [New Book, Please Collect!]
[New Book, Please Collect! Flowers! Votes! Tips! Everything!!]
"Alright, if there''s any problem in the future, just message me on WeChat, or if I find something good, I''ll let you know directly!"
After exchanging WeChat contacts, Bai Wu waved at the still wide-eyed and incredulous Di Qingqing, then swaggered out of the alley.
Di Qingqing stood frozen in place, unable to snap out of it until Bai Wu''s figure disappeared at the alley''s entrance.
At the alley''s entrance.
"Wait, I have a bold idea... Could the reason for the percentage jumping be because of me?"
100%!
"Damn! Could it be that Old Li Weiguo contacted Di Qingqing''s family?"
100%
Bai Wu glanced around and soon spotted Li Weiguo, Old Li, on the phone not far away.
"I''m doing this to rise up, it''s such a waste of resources, can''t blame me for this..."
Bai Wu raised an eyebrow, muttering to himself, then took out his phone and sent a message to Di Ruyu.
"Ding ding!"Support the creativity of authors by visiting Royal Road for this novel and more.
The message notification suddenly sounded.
Di Qingqing picked up her phone to see a message from Bai Wu.
"Considering you shared six hundred thousand with me, I casually did a divination for you. Whatever you''re up to, there''s no way your family won''t find out. They might already know. Little Di, I suggest you think about a way out!"
Di Qingqing''s face turned pale, and she hurriedly chased out of the alley.
But by then, Bai Wu had already made his escape.
"Bai Wu, what do you mean!?" Di Qingqing texted to question him.
"Just what it sounds like!"
Bai Wu replied, then thought to himself, "Di Qingqing''s parents should call her within half an hour, right?"
100%!
"Okay, let''s narrow it down, within fifteen minutes?"
100%!
"Even narrower, within five minutes?"
100%
"Ahem, I just did another divination for you. Congratulations, within five minutes, your family should call you for a talk. As for the content... you should know!"
After sending the message, Bai Wu immediately turned on Do Not Disturb mode, ignoring Di Qingqing.
As it turned out, Di Qingqing didn''t have time to keep questioning Bai Wu.
Because.
Her mom called.
"That guy was right again!"
Di Qingqing''s face showed surprise, hesitating for a while before cautiously answering the call.
"Mom... Mom..."
"Mom, what mom. If you still consider me your mom, Di Qingqing, I give you half an hour to get home immediately! Your dad, your grandparents, and I are all waiting for you at home..."
"......"
Di Qingqing''s face turned ashen.
...
On the other side.
Bai Wu was shopping at the mall.
If you have money and don''t spend it, what''s the point?
Phone, get a Huawei Mate10, support domestic products!
Clothes, pants, shoes, three sets of GUCCL, one for each day.
As they say, clothes make the man, gold makes the Buddha.
After changing into this outfit worth twenty to thirty thousand yuan, Bai Wu''s whole demeanor changed completely.
Bai Wu could feel that the salesgirl at GUCCL looked at him differently.
As he left the GUCCL store, the salesgirl deftly slipped a small note into Bai Wu''s pocket.
Bai Wu glanced at it; it was her WeChat number.
Bai Wu smiled slightly and casually tossed the note into the trash.
Prosperity, democracy, civility, harmony...
It definitely wasn''t because the salesgirl wasn''t attractive!
Back at his rental apartment.
He turned on his computer, logged into his author account, and posted a single chapter for each of his three ongoing books.
Of course, Bai Wu wouldn''t say he awakened some superpower and stopped writing. Instead, he found a reasonable excuse¡ªhe won five million in the lottery, so he''s quitting writing and leaving the online literature world!
After posting the chapters, Bai Wu breathed a sigh of relief, feeling completely relaxed.
"Not having to exhaust myself with daily updates, it''s great!"
Bai Wu sighed.
At that moment, the phone rang.
"Hello, Mom, what''s up? What, a blind date? Mom, I''m only twenty, I''m in my prime, do you really want me caught up in romance? Alright, alright, I got it, tonight at nine, I know..."
Chapter 14
How is it you! [Please add to favorites!]
[Please add to favorites! Send flowers! Vote! Reward! Anything!]
The blind date was set at a cozy little caf¨¦.
After seeing the photo of his blind date sent by his mom, Bai Wu thought that, as a man, a gentleman with style and flair, it was necessary to arrive at the caf¨¦ a bit early to wait.
Ahem!
Here, Bai Wu must defend himself!
He could swear on his right chest that he absolutely wasn''t doing this just because of her stunning 95-point looks and figure.
Passing by a lottery shop, Bai Wu went in and bought a few scratch cards.
Income +3697 yuan.
Under the shocked gaze of the shop owner, Bai Wu hummed a little tune and left the lottery shop.
When he arrived at the agreed caf¨¦, it was only 8:15.
Pushing the door open, he casually ordered a cup of coffee and found a seat to sit down.
Five minutes later, two figures pushed the door open from outside the caf¨¦.
Leading the way was Bai Wu''s blind date¡ªMu Yi''er.
"Hmm? Why is she here so early too?"
Just as Bai Wu was puzzled, he suddenly noticed the person following behind Mu Yi''er, his eyebrows raised, and his expression turned peculiar.
This narrative has been purloined without the author''s approval. Report any appearances on Amazon.
That person was also a woman, and a familiar one at that.
"Di Qingqing, why is she here too?"
A 100% certainty told Bai Wu that his guess was spot on.
"Could it be this coincidental?"
Bai Wu''s expression grew even more peculiar: "Could it be that Mu Yi''er''s family arranged this blind date in such a hurry because of something I said this afternoon, triggering a chain reaction?"
100%!
"Pfft, does it have to be so melodramatic!?" Bai Wu really didn''t know what to say: "Could it be that Mu Yi''er''s family knows about her situation too?"
50%!
"50? It seems Mu Yi''er''s family is already suspicious of her... So Mu Yi''er suddenly coming for a blind date, is it for Di Qingqing?"
100%!
Mu Yi''er and Di Qingqing stood at the entrance for quite a while, not sure what they were discussing.
But seeing Mu Yi''er''s determined face and Di Qingqing''s pleading expression, Bai Wu didn''t need to guess to know that Mu Yi''er wanted to end their entanglement, while Di Qingqing was trying to hold on.
Suddenly.
Mu Yi''er turned her head and glanced inside the caf¨¦.
When she noticed Bai Wu, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.
Then.
Her eyebrows slightly furrowed, and a trace of hesitation appeared on her face.
But when her gaze turned to Di Qingqing, the hesitation was immediately replaced by determination.
She said something to Di Qingqing.
Di Qingqing suddenly looked up, angrily glaring at Bai Wu.
Upon realizing it was Bai Wu, her face showed shock and intense anger.
"Oh my! Why do I feel like Di Qingqing wants to kill me!" Bai Wu shivered all over.
At this moment,
Mu Yi''er suddenly walked straight towards Bai Wu.
"Are you Bai Wu?"
"Uh, yes, and you are Mu Yi''er?"
"I think you''re great, let''s be together!" Mu Yi''er said directly.
"Pfft!!" Bai Wu almost spat out his coffee.
People sitting near Bai Wu all turned to look.
Especially the men.
Seeing Mu Yi''er''s figure and appearance, their eyes were filled with envy and jealousy.
"Isn''t this too fast? Isn''t it inappropriate?" Bai Wu whispered, meeting Di Qingqing''s angry gaze at the door.
"Am I not beautiful?" Mu Yi''er asked.
"Beautiful!"
"Is my figure not good?"
"Your figure is perfect!"
"Is there anything about me you''re not satisfied with?"
"Honestly, I''m quite satisfied, it''s just..."
Bai Wu shrank his head and, under everyone''s gaze, said, "I have no house, no car, no savings, and no job..."
"I don''t mind any of that! I have a house, a car, five million in cash savings, and I own an internet company. I''m twenty-two years old, can cook, and..."
"Hiss~~~"
A sound of people drawing in cold breaths echoed in the caf¨¦.
"So now? Any other problems? If not, let''s go home, my parents are waiting for you!" Mu Yi''er continued.
"Oh my, could this be a trap?" Bai Wu started to panic.
0%!
"Since it''s not a trap, then... is Mu Yi''er really doing all this for Di Qingqing?"
100%!
"So that''s how it is..."
Bai Wu suddenly understood everything.
Looking up, he smiled slightly at Mu Yi''er and said, "In that case, let''s go!"
"Wait!" Mu Yi''er suddenly said.
"Hmm?" Bai Wu was puzzled.
At that moment!
Bai Wu could clearly feel Mu Yi''er''s body tense up!
One second.
Two seconds.
Three seconds.
...
After about ten seconds, Mu Yi''er''s tense body slowly relaxed.
Then.
Mu Yi''er suddenly stood on her tiptoes.
"So bold!?" Bai Wu''s eyes widened.
At the door.
Di Qingqing''s expression turned gloomy...
She turned around and staggered away.
Chapter 15
**Green Pastures - Di Qingqing [New Book, Please Add to Your Collection!]**
[New Book, Please Add to Your Collection! Flowers! Votes! Tips! Everything!!!]
Bai Wu wasn''t the type to remain indifferent!
With such a tempting offer right in front of him, how could Bai Wu possibly resist?
Besides, Mu Yi''er was a stunning beauty with a score of 95, not some unattractive person.
As for the fact that it was their first meeting and they had no feelings for each other...
"I can''t go on like this, for Qingqing''s sake, and for my own..."
Mu Yi''er kept reassuring herself over and over, slowly lowering her clenched Delicate Fist.
A few seconds later.
Mu Yi''er''s face flushed with a deep red.
She seemed dazed for a few seconds, as if she hadn''t fully woken up.
Then, she turned her head to glance at the entrance of the caf¨¦.
She didn''t see Di Qingqing.
A hint of loneliness flashed in Mu Yi''er''s eyes, but it was quickly replaced by determination.
"Bai, Bai Wu, let''s go home!"
Mu Yi''er said firmly.
"Hmm?" Bai Wu was taken aback.
"Hmm what? You''ve already taken advantage, do you still want to back out?" Mu Yi''er said coldly.
"Was Mu Yi''er just using me as a shield earlier?" Bai Wu pondered.Unauthorized duplication: this narrative has been taken without consent. Report sightings.
100%
"100%!!?"
Bai Wu''s thoughts raced: "Is she serious? Does she really want to take me to meet her parents?"
100%!
"Is she genuinely trying to return to normal?"
100%!
"Are you coming or not?" Mu Yi''er''s icy voice suddenly rang in Bai Wu''s ear.
Bai Wu snapped back to reality and met Mu Yi''er''s cold gaze.
"In that case, let''s go!"
Bai Wu''s lips curled up slightly, and he took the initiative to hold Mu Yi''er''s hand.
Mu Yi''er''s body stiffened suddenly.
It took several seconds for her to barely regain her composure.
"Let''s go!"
Mu Yi''er forced a smile at Bai Wu.
The two walked side by side out of the caf¨¦.
But they hadn''t gone far.
In the underground parking lot next to the caf¨¦, they were stopped by a tearful Di Qingqing.
"Mu! Yi! Er!" Di Qingqing stared intently at Bai Wu and Mu Yi''er.
Bai Wu could feel Mu Yi''er was very tense now.
Because her small hand suddenly gripped tightly.
"Let''s keep going!" Mu Yi''er said coldly.
The two took a couple more steps, but Di Qingqing ran up and blocked them again.
"Mu Jie, no, no, no, tell me this isn''t real, it''s not real, it''s all fake..." Di Qingqing cried out hysterically.
"This..." Bai Wu looked at Mu Yi''er with a clueless expression.
"Qingqing, it''s all in the past!" Mu Yi''er said coldly.
"I don''t believe it!"
Di Qingqing pointed at Bai Wu and said word by word: "Mu Jie, do you really want to be with a man? No man is good, Mu Jie, didn''t you used to hate men the most? Why..."
"What do you mean no man is good? We men aren''t things to begin with..."
Bai Wu retorted, quickly correcting himself: "No, no, no, we men aren''t not things, that''s not right..."
"Shut up!" Di Qingqing glared at Bai Wu.
"Fine, for the sake of the green pastures above your head, I won''t argue with you!" Bai Wu muttered to himself.
At this moment, Mu Yi''er was resolute, "Qingqing, you said it yourself, that was in the past!"
"I don''t believe it!!!" Di Qingqing suddenly, with resentment and anger, questioned Bai Wu: "It''s you! What did you do to my Mu Jie? What exactly did you do?"
"Qingqing, it''s not Bai Wu''s fault, it''s my choice!"
Mu Yi''er continued, "I don''t hate men as much anymore, Qingqing, you should see that too..."
"Fake! Fake! It''s all fake! Mu Jie, you''re lying!" Di Qingqing shook her head.
"I''m serious! Qingqing!"
And this time.
"Fake, it''s all fake, no, fake... Mu Jie, I hate you, I hate you!"
Di Qingqing''s Delicate Fist clenched, tears streaming down her face.
Watching Di Qingqing''s swaying figure as she left, Bai Wu felt like he was someone who had ruined a happy family...
...
Inside the car.
Silence.
Neither Mu Yi''er nor Bai Wu spoke first.
The car drove on the road for about half an hour, finally arriving at a high-end residential area in the West Lake District.
The car gradually slowed down.
Finally, it stopped inside a garage.
"Well, I guessed it!" Bai Wu nodded calmly.
"Aren''t you surprised?" Mu Yi''er asked seriously.
Mu Yi''er gave Bai Wu a sidelong glance, remaining silent for a few seconds: "You... you don''t mind?"
"Why should I mind?" Bai Wu countered.
Mu Yi''er fell silent again.
After a while, she suddenly looked up and gave Bai Wu a slight smile: "Thank you!"
Bai Wu reached out and held Mu Yi''er''s hand.
Mu Yi''er instinctively wanted to pull back, but Bai Wu held on tightly.
"Sorry, I might need some time to get used to our relationship..." Mu Yi''er explained.
"I understand, I''ll take it slow, starting with holding hands..." Bai Wu smiled gently.
"Thank you..."
Mu Yi''er thanked him again.
"By the way, can I call you Yi''er?" Bai Wu asked softly.
"Yes, you can..." Mu Yi''er nodded.
"Yi''er, is there anything I should be aware of when I meet your parents later?" Bai Wu asked as gently as possible.
"My parents don''t know I used to be... so they''ve been urging me to date and find someone. Later, you... I''ll just say we were high school classmates, dated for a while back then, separated because of studies, and then met again during a date, and got back together..."
"Oh, you''ve got the story all planned out!"

[New Book Requesting Collection! Requesting Flowers! Requesting Tips! Requesting Votes! Requesting Everything!]
Mu Yi''er entered the password and verified her fingerprint. With a "beep," the door unlocked.
She glanced sideways, lifted her eyes, and exchanged a look with Bai Wu. Her delicate face was filled with nervousness.
Bai Wu gave her a slight smile.
Mu Yi''er closed her eyes, took a deep breath, as if making a firm decision.
For the first time, she reached out and held Bai Wu''s hand.
"Let''s go in!" Mu Yi''er bit her lip and said.
"Yes, let''s go in!" Bai Wu smiled slightly.
The two of them, hand in hand, pushed the door open and entered.
"Dad, Mom, I''m back!"
Mu Yi''er called out into the house, while opening the shoe cabinet and rummaging through it. She called out again, "Mom, don''t we have any spare slippers at home?"
"Spare slippers? Yi''er, weren''t you supposed to be on a blind date? Why are you back so suddenly? It''s only ten past nine. You little girl, did you stand the guy up again like the last few times? Just wait and see if I don''t teach you a lesson today!"
A middle-aged woman who bore a slight resemblance to Mu Yi''er hurried out from the inner room, holding a feather duster in her hand, looking fierce. It was none other than Mu Yi''er''s mother, Yang Liyin.
Just as she reached the door.This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere.
She saw Bai Wu holding hands with Mu Yi''er.
She paused.
Stunned for a moment.
She quickly scanned Bai Wu up and down.
Bai Wu''s outfit was the new set he bought from GUCCI that afternoon, naturally flawless.
Yang Liyin quickly hid the feather duster behind her back, smiled kindly at Bai Wu, and then asked with a face full of anticipation, "Yi''er, who is this?"
"Mom, this is Bai Wu, currently your precious daughter''s boyfriend!" Mu Yi''er said, suddenly wrapping her arm around Bai Wu''s.
"Boyfriend?" Yang Liyin''s eyes lit up, looking overjoyed. "You little girl, if you had a boyfriend, you should have told us earlier. Your dad and I have been busy arranging dates for you, thinking that you..."
"No, no, Mom, listen to me. Actually, Bai Wu is the person I went on a blind date with today!" Mu Yi''er explained, resting her head on Bai Wu''s arm.
"Then you two..." Yang Liyin was taken aback.
"Bai Wu and I were actually high school classmates!"
Mu Yi''er shrank her head and continued, "And we dated for a while in high school!"
"What!?" Yang Liyin was shocked. "How come I didn''t know about this!?"
"In high school, weren''t you and Dad always reminding me not to date? And at that time, I was about to graduate from senior year, while Bai Wu was only a freshman. Later, we broke up due to academic reasons, so I never mentioned it to you..." Mu Yi''er explained weakly.
"No wonder..."
Yang Liyin filled in the blanks herself. "I remember during your senior year, your scores in two mock exams suddenly dropped. I thought it was due to stress, but it turns out you were in love. Just like your dad when he pursued me back then..."
Bai Wu: "..."
Mu Yi''er: "..."
"Yi''er''s dad, something incredible has happened. Yi''er has a boyfriend, and he''s a high school classmate!" Yang Liyin suddenly remembered something and called into the house.
"What, really!?"
Mu Jianguo, Mu Yi''er''s father, hurriedly ran out.
His voice was full of excitement and enthusiasm. "That''s great, that''s great. Our little girl has finally found a boyfriend!"
"Mom~~~ Dad~~~~"
Mu Yi''er said gloomily, "Am I really your biological daughter? Listening to you, it sounds like it''s very difficult for your daughter to find a boyfriend!"
"Isn''t it?"
"Isn''t it?"
Yang Liyin and Mu Jianguo said in unison.
Mu Yi''er: "..."
"Pfft!!!" Bai Wu couldn''t help but laugh.
"And you''re laughing!" Mu Yi''er glared at Bai Wu in annoyance.
"Hey, hey, hey, Yi''er, that''s not right. He''s a guest, not here to be scolded. Tone down your princess attitude. You finally found a boyfriend, don''t scare him away!" Yang Liyin quickly said.
Mu Yi''er was speechless: "..."
"Exactly, exactly!" Mu Jianguo echoed.
Mu Yi''er was speechless: "..."
"Bai Wu, right? Come, come, come, please come in!"
"This way, this way, let''s go check out Yi''er''s room!"
Yang Liyin and Mu Jianguo, one on each side, led Bai Wu into the house, leaving Mu Yi''er alone, bewildered at the entrance.
"Mom~~! Dad~~!" Mu Yi''er called out in exasperation.
"Why are you shouting? You''re in your twenties, can''t you be a bit more ladylike!" Yang Liyin turned back and gave Mu Yi''er a look.
"Yes, in front of Bai Wu, can''t you be a bit more gentle?" Mu Jianguo also gave Mu Yi''er a look.
Mu Yi''er: "..."
"Bai Wu, this is Yi''er''s room. You sit here for a while, and Yi''er''s dad and I will get you some snacks and fruit..."
Before Bai Wu could respond, Yang Liyin and Mu Jianguo hurriedly left the room.
With a "bang," the door closed.
After a short while, the door opened again.
Bai Wu looked up.
He saw Mu Yi''er being pushed in from outside.
The two exchanged a glance.

After a brief silence, Bai Wu was the first to speak, "Ahem, Yi''er, are you really his biological daughter?"
"Are you joking with me!" Mu Yi''er cast a sidelong glance at Bai Wu.
The room fell silent once again.
An inexplicable atmosphere enveloped the room.
Mu Yi''er leaned against the door, her eyes flickering with thought, though it was unclear what she was pondering.
After a minute or two, her delicate fist suddenly clenched, and a resolute expression appeared on her exquisite and beautiful face.
She slowly walked towards Bai Wu and sat down beside him.
Bai Wu could sense that Mu Yi''er was extremely nervous at this moment.
Because she was all tense!
"Thump"..."Thump"..."Thump"
Bai Wu could even faintly hear the rapid beating of Mu Yi''er''s heart.The tale has been taken without authorization; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.
Gradually, gradually...
Mu Yi''er''s tense body began to relax.
"What''s the success rate of her not being averse to me now?"
80%!
"80% is enough!"
Bai Wu suddenly reached out and gently held her.
Mu Yi''er''s body stiffened, she glanced at Bai Wu, but quickly relaxed again.
"What''s the success rate of her not being averse to me now?"
76%!
So, Mu Yi''er, in the end, let Bai Wu be.
"Thump thump thump thump!"
Bai Wu could feel Mu Yi''er''s heart racing!
Being in the same room like this, a question involuntarily popped into Bai Wu''s mind.
59%!
"Too low, better take it slow, don''t rush it..."
Bai Wu thought,
"Yi''er, are you okay?" Bai Wu asked softly.
"I," Mu Yi''er said, "I can do it!"
"But you seem very nervous, uncomfortable..." Bai Wu gently probed.
Puff puff puff puff!
We''ve only known each other for a day, hey!
Bai Wu suddenly didn''t know what to say.
At this moment, Mu Yi''er seemed to have made up her mind about something.
Bai Wu slowly moved towards Mu Yi''er.
However...
Suddenly.
The door was pushed open.
"Come, come, Xiao Wu, have some fruit. This is what Yi''er''s dad just went out to buy from the fruit shop, there''s lychee, walnut, and kiwi. The fruit shop owner said these three fruits are very nourishing, you..."
Yang Liyin came in with a fruit platter, her face glowing, and suddenly paused mid-sentence.
Then, Yang Liyin gave Bai Wu a ''good job'' look, deftly placed the fruit platter on the table, and left the room without looking back.
"You young people continue!"
"Bang!"
The door closed.
Bai Wu: "..."
Mu Yi''er: "..."
They exchanged a glance, and there was a moment of silence.
"Should we continue?" Bai Wu suddenly asked.
Mu Yi''er''s pale face was full of determination, she nodded lightly, "Mm, mm..."
Bai Wu gave her a slight smile and lowered his head again.
However.
The door was suddenly pushed open again.
This time, it was Mu Jianguo who came in.
He was holding a small plate.
"Bai Wu, this is some barbecue I just bought from the stall outside. I heard eating some chives at night is good for your health!"
Mu Jianguo said, carefully pulling something out of his pocket and placing it on the table, with a knowing look, he said, "I''ve been there, I know what you young people are thinking..."
"Dad!!!!!!!" Mu Yi''er screamed in embarrassment and anger.
"Alright, alright, I won''t disturb you anymore!"
Mu Jianguo finished speaking and left the room without looking back.
The door closed.
The room fell silent once more.
"Continue?" Bai Wu asked, puzzled.
"Mm..." Mu Yi''er nodded.
The next second.
The door was pushed open again.
Mu Jianguo closed the door again after speaking.
Bai Wu: "..."
Mu Yi''er: "..."
After two or three minutes.
"Ahem, Yi''er, should we continue?" Bai Wu asked.
"No! I suddenly remembered I have something to do!"
She went to the computer desk and turned on the computer...
Bai Wu: "..."
Chapter 18
Water in the Shoes! [New Book, Please Add to Favorites!]
[Waaaah, new book, please add to favorites! Flowers! Votes! Tips! Everything, please! Thanks to the Wang family''s dragon for the monthly ticket!]
Half an hour later.
"Uh, Yi''er, it''s about time, I should head back now!"
Bai Wu suddenly stood up and said.
As soon as he finished speaking, Bai Wu clearly noticed that Mu Yi''er, who was sitting at the computer desk with her back to him, suddenly let out a sigh of relief.
Still the same old saying...
There''s always tomorrow.
"Bai, Bai Wu, wait a minute!"
Mu Yi''er suddenly stood up, walked over to Bai Wu, her face full of determination and seriousness, "I feel much better..."
"Hmm?" Bai Wu was taken aback, and when he looked at Mu Yi''er, he saw her with her head raised, eyes tightly shut, little delicate fists clenched, looking very nervous.
Mu Yi''er was being so straightforward, how could Bai Wu not understand!
"Phew~" Bai Wu let out a sigh of relief.
He was really scared!
Afraid that Mu Yi''er''s parents might suddenly open the door again.If you spot this story on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.
That would be really awkward...
"Wha-what''s wrong..."
Mu Yi''er opened her eyes in confusion, following Bai Wu''s gaze, and remembered the two previous interruptions.
She suddenly walked to the door, locked it from the inside, then returned to Bai Wu, whispering softly, "This time, there won''t be any problems..."
"Yi''er, how can you be so cute!"
And then...
...
In the living room.
Yang Liyin and Mu Jianguo were huddled together, whispering secretly.
"Hey, it''s been over half an hour, why is there no sound at all?" Yang Liyin pressed her ear against the door, sighing softly.
"Maybe they were scared by us coming in and out suddenly. Young people, you know, they care about face..." Mu Jianguo explained.
Yang Liyin continued, "Old Mu, stop thinking about those things. We were worried our daughter didn''t like men before, and now she''s finally found someone she likes. The sooner they confirm their relationship, the better, to avoid any trouble later!"
"Yeah, you''re right!" Mu Jianguo nodded.
"Hey, hey, hey, hey!"
Yang Liyin''s face suddenly lit up with joy, exclaiming, "They locked the door, finally locked the door!"
"Really!?" Mu Jianguo''s face was full of joy.
"No, I still feel a bit uneasy!"
Yang Liyin frowned, thought for a few seconds, and said, "Old Mu, go sprinkle some water on the beds in the guest rooms, a lot, and wet the sofa too! I''ll go wet Bai Wu''s shoes!"
"Good idea!" Mu Jianguo raised an eyebrow.
Then, the couple began to act separately.
Inside the room.
"Yi''er, how do you feel?" Bai Wu asked softly.
"I, I..." Mu Yi''er, "still feel a bit uncomfortable, but I can overcome it, much better than before..."
Mu Yi''er said firmly, "I will work hard to overcome it!"
"I''ll help you overcome it!" Bai Wu said gently.
"Phew... phew... I feel, I feel much better." Mu Yi''er said, clenching her little delicate fists.
Bai Wu smiled slightly, lowered his head, and gently tapped her forehead, saying softly, "Yi''er, you should rest early, I''ll head back now!"
"Mm, mm..."
Mu Yi''er got up, "I''ll see you off!"
After tidying up their clothes, the two came to the door.
They exchanged a glance.
Bai Wu took the initiative to hold Mu Yi''er''s hand, interlocking their fingers.
Mu Yi''er stiffened at first, but after two or three seconds, she tightly grasped Bai Wu''s hand.
"Let''s go out!"
"Okay!"
Hand in hand, they walked out of Mu Yi''er''s room.
And then.
They met the bright eyes of Yang Liyin and Mu Jianguo.
"Uncle, Auntie, it''s getting late, I should head home!" Bai Wu greeted them.
"What uncle and auntie, so distant, just call us mom and dad!" Yang Liyin said.
"Yes, Bai Wu, you can call us the same as Yi''er does!" Mu Jianguo agreed with a smile.
"Mom~~! Dad~~!" Mu Yi''er''s face turned red, and she called out softly.
Yang Liyin and Mu Jianguo both ignored Mu Yi''er.
"Xiao Wu, why are you leaving so early? Why not stay a bit longer?" Yang Liyin asked.
"No, it''s late at night..."
Before Bai Wu could finish, Yang Liyin suddenly slapped her forehead, exclaiming exaggeratedly, "Ah! I just remembered, Xiao Wu, when I was making soup earlier, I accidentally spilled some on your shoes, so I soaked them in the sink!"
Bai Wu: "..."
Mu Yi''er: "..."
Chapter 19
The living room suddenly fell silent.
"Mom, if I remember correctly, there shouldn''t be a need to pass through the entrance from the living room to the kitchen, right? So how did you spill soup on the shoes in the entrance while you were making soup in the kitchen?" Mu Yi''er asked quietly.
"Well, that''s because..." Yang Liyin was suddenly at a loss for words.
"Huh? How could you be so careless!"
Mu Jianguo loudly came to the rescue, "Oh well, since the shoes are already wet, Yi''er, stop holding onto your mom''s mistake. If you dry them overnight, they should be fine by morning, right?"
Yang Liyin gave Mu Jianguo an approving look and nodded, "Yes, they should be dry by tomorrow morning!"
"Then there''s no choice, Xiao Wu, you should stay at our place tonight," Mu Jianguo said helplessly to Bai Wu.
Bai Wu: "..."
Mu Yi''er: "..."
"Yes, yes, just squeeze in!" Yang Liyin chimed in.
Bai Wu: "..."
Mu Yi''er: "..."
"Yi''er, why are you standing there? Hurry up and take Xiao Wu to the room. I''ve made goji berry and black chicken soup for you. It''ll be ready in ten minutes, so don''t lock the door yet!"
Yang Liyin winked at Mu Yi''er, then eagerly pushed Bai Wu and Mu Yi''er towards the bedroom.
The story has been illicitly taken; should you find it on Amazon, report the infringement.
"Mom!!!" Mu Yi''er said quietly, "Don''t we have two guest rooms?"
"Oh right, look at my memory!"
Yang Liyin exaggeratedly patted her head and turned to Mu Jianguo, "Old Mu, are those two guest rooms still usable?"
"They''re not fit for sleeping. I accidentally got the beds wet while cleaning today..." Mu Jianguo exaggeratedly slapped his head.
Bai Wu: "..."
Mu Yi''er: "..."
"No worries, I can sleep on the sofa. It looks pretty comfortable!"
Bai Wu said as he plopped down.
Then, a cold chill hit him.
Bai Wu quickly stood up and took a closer look at the sofa, and was dumbfounded.
The large sofa in the living room was soaking wet, as if someone had dumped two large basins of water on it.
"Xiao Wu, I''m really sorry. I accidentally spilled a whole basin of water on the sofa while washing the black chicken earlier, and now it''s soaked!" Mu Jianguo said with a ''silly smile.''
"This was obviously on purpose, right?" Bai Wu thought to himself.
100%!
"The beds in the guest rooms were also deliberately soaked, right?"
100%!
"My shoes were also intentionally wet, right?"
100%!
Four consecutive 100% confirmations left Bai Wu at a loss for words.
"Is Mu Yi''er really their biological daughter?" Bai Wu couldn''t help but wonder.
100%!
...
Finally.
In Mu Yi''er''s bedroom.
Bai Wu and Mu Yi''er stared at each other.
"Ahem, what should we do now?" Bai Wu coughed awkwardly and asked.
Mu Yi''er looked utterly helpless.
"Maybe I should just go home. I can sneak out once your parents fall asleep?"
Bai Wu thought this might be too fast, and Mu Yi''er might find it hard to accept, considering it''s only the first day...
"No, it''s fine!"
Mu Yi''er clenched her fists, lowered her head, and said with difficulty, "You can stay!"
"Are you sure it''s really okay?" Bai Wu asked worriedly, "Yi''er, you..."
"I can do it! I can overcome this!" Mu Yi''er raised her head, full of determination.
Although Mu Yi''er said this, Bai Wu could clearly see her tightly clenched delicate fists.
She was very nervous at the moment!
No, to be precise, she was very anxious!
The room suddenly fell silent.
The two sat on the edge, suddenly quiet.
"Yi''er, let me tell you some jokes!" Bai Wu suddenly suggested.
"Mm, okay..." Mu Yi''er nodded.
Bai Wu reached out and gently held Mu Yi''er''s small hand.
Mu Yi''er''s body instinctively tensed, but soon relaxed.
At this moment, Bai Wu spoke up: "Hey, Yi''er, did you hear about the scarecrow who won an award? Can you guess why?"
Mu Yi''er thought for a few seconds and then timidly shook her head.
Bai Wu chuckled and said, "Because he was outstanding in his field!"
Mu Yi''er blinked, her face blank with confusion.
After several seconds of silence, she still looked completely lost.
"That''s it?" Mu Yi''er couldn''t help but ask.
"That''s it!" Bai Wu nodded, looking surprised. "Yi''er, isn''t it funny?"
"Honestly, I don''t get it. Why is the scarecrow standing in a field? Is it some kind of metaphor?" Mu Yi''er asked, puzzled.
Bai Wu: "¡"
"It''s a play on words! ''Outstanding in his field''¡ªhe''s literally standing in a field, and he''s really good at it!" Bai Wu emphasized.
Mu Yi''er muttered a few times, then shivered.
"Wasn''t it funny?" Bai Wu asked with wide eyes.
"Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! So funny!" Mu Yi''er laughed perfunctorily.
Bai Wu: "..."
Chapter 20
Don''t eat if you don''t want to! [New book, please add to your collection!]
[Wuwuwu! New book, please add to your collection! Flowers, votes, tips, everything is appreciated! Thanks to Han Qiu Xue Ying, sihaibinG, and Xing Chen Jian Hun for the monthly votes and tips, mwah!]
Before long, there was a knock on the door.
"Xiao Wu, Yi''er, are you asleep?" Yang Liyin''s voice came from outside the door.
"Mom, we''re not asleep yet, what''s up?" Mu Yi''er asked.
"Is it convenient for me to come in?"
"Come on in!"
Then, the door opened.
Yang Liyin and Mu Jianguo walked in one after the other.
Mu Jianguo was holding a ceramic pot, while Yang Liyin had a set of bowls, chopsticks, and a soup spoon.
The elderly couple swiftly placed the pot and utensils on the table, then glanced at Bai Wu and Mu Yi''er, who were sitting on the edge of the bed holding hands.
Their eyes lit up simultaneously, and they smiled with delight.
"Xiao Wu, this is goji berry, black chicken, and red date nourishing soup I made for you. Have a couple of sips before bed; it''s very good for you!"
Yang Liyin continued, "Alright, alright, we won''t disturb you young folks'' night anymore. Old Mu, let''s go!"
"Oh, oh!"
Mu Jianguo raised his eyebrows at Bai Wu and followed Yang Liyin out of the bedroom.
"Dad~~~!!!" Mu Yi''er''s face turned red as she glared angrily.
Stolen story; please report.
But what greeted her was a "bang."
The door closed.
The room fell silent once more.
"Ahem!"
After a brief silence, Bai Wu suddenly coughed twice, breaking the quiet. "Yi''er, I have a very serious question."
"Hmm?" Mu Yi''er looked puzzled.
"Are you really their biological daughter?" Bai Wu asked seriously.
Even though his supernatural ability assured him that Mu Yi''er was indeed their biological daughter, Bai Wu couldn''t help but ask.
Because from the way Yang Liyin and Mu Jianguo acted, Mu Yi''er really didn''t seem like their biological child!
"Bai Wu, are you looking to die?" Mu Yi''er glared at him, annoyed.
"Hahaha, just kidding, just kidding..."
Bai Wu waved his hand and laughed. "But seriously, Auntie''s cooking is really something. Just the smell is making my mouth water! What do you think, Yi''er?"
"If you want to eat, eat it yourself. I''m not hungry. This was made especially for you, and I don''t want any. Plus, I don''t think it smells good at all!" Mu Yi''er turned her head and huffed.
"Why do I feel a bit of jealousy here? Could it be that Mu Yi''er is jealous?"
As soon as the thought crossed his mind, a percentage appeared above Mu Yi''er''s head: 100%!
"She really is jealous!"
Bai Wu was taken aback.
"What are you looking at? Hurry up and eat, then go to bed early. I''m warning you, don''t try anything funny tonight!"
Mu Yi''er said as she hugged a pink stuffed toy about her size and placed it in the middle of the bed. "Don''t cross over this toy tonight!"
"Yi''er, don''t worry. Until you''re completely comfortable, I won''t do anything inappropriate, I swear!"
Bai Wu said, then scooped a spoonful of the black chicken soup, took a deep breath, and sighed, "Yi''er, are you sure you don''t want to try some? It smells amazing!"
"I''m not eating! I''m not hungry at all right now!"
Mu Yi''er said with a straight face.
"Grumble grumble grumble..."
A strange sound came from her stomach.
"Yi''er, are you sure you''re not hungry at all?" Bai Wu repeated in a teasing voice.
"Not hungry means not hungry! I''m not eating any of this soup, not a single sip!" Mu Yi''er firmly added, "And after seven in the evening, I don''t eat anything. I have principles!"
"Grumble grumble grumble..." Her stomach growled again.
Bai Wu''s expression grew more peculiar.
Mu Yi''er''s face flushed slightly as she glared at Bai Wu, "What are you looking at? Drink your goji berry, black chicken, and red date soup, I''m going!"
Mu Yi''er said, quickly climbing off the bed and darting into the next room.
But soon, she rushed back out in a hurry.
She grabbed a change of clothes from the wardrobe and dashed back in.
Bai Wu shook his head, scooped a bowl of soup, and began to enjoy it.
Half an hour later.
"Burp~"
Bai Wu had drunk nearly half the pot of chicken soup and finished the last skewer of chives, letting out a satisfied burp as he lay comfortably on the bed.
At this moment.
The sound of a door opening came from the bathroom next door.
Bai Wu looked up to see Mu Yi''er cautiously stepping out.
She looked as fresh as a lotus in clear water!
Bai Wu''s eyes lit up, and he was momentarily stunned.
Mu Yi''er''s face turned red.
"Oh, oh, got it!" Bai Wu snapped back to reality, but his face was still filled with amazement as he quickly walked into the bathroom.
As soon as Bai Wu stepped in, Mu Yi''er let out a long sigh of relief.
Then, after waiting for a dozen seconds, when she heard the sound of water running, Mu Yi''er suddenly swallowed and walked over to the ceramic pot.
There was only one set of bowls and chopsticks on the table.
Mu Yi''er hesitated for a moment, then picked up the bowl and chopsticks, scooped some chicken soup, and tore off a couple of pieces of chicken.
She took a bite!
Her face was full of enjoyment and satisfaction!
"So delicious~~~" Mu Yi''er murmured softly.
"By the way, Yi''er, are you sure you don''t want to try Auntie''s soup? The taste is really..."
At this moment, Bai Wu suddenly poked his head out from the bathroom, but as he spoke, he noticed Mu Yi''er holding a bowl and drinking the soup.
Mu Yi''er froze: "..."
Chapter 21
I''ll just take a small bite [New book, please add to your collection!]
[Moved house yesterday, busy all day, please understand! Regarding the Double Color Ball, the protagonist''s superpower is tricky to manage, dealing with each number individually, with 17.72 million combinations, the protagonist really doesn''t have the energy! Sorry, I''ll see if I can add more updates today to make up for it!]
One second!
Two seconds!
Three seconds!
After a dozen seconds...
Under Bai Wu''s intense gaze, Mu Yi''er''s flawless, delicate face gradually turned red.
"If you want to eat, eat it yourself. I''m not hungry. This is specially made for you. I don''t want to eat it at all, and I don''t think it smells good either!"
Bai Wu suddenly mimicked Mu Yi''er''s earlier refusal in a strange voice.
Mu Yi''er froze, her face turning bright red in the blink of an eye.
"Not hungry means not hungry! Not eating means not eating! I won''t drink a single sip of this soup!" Bai Wu imitated Mu Yi''er''s voice again.
"I have principles! I don''t eat after seven in the evening!" Bai Wu repeated once more.
Mu Yi''er''s face was now completely flushed.
Her delicate fist clenched.
She looked up.
Gritting her teeth.
She looked as if she wanted to tear Bai Wu apart right then and there.
"Ahem, continue, continue... I didn''t see anything, didn''t see anything!" Bai Wu coughed twice and retracted his head.This tale has been unlawfully lifted without the author''s consent. Report any appearances on Amazon.
The bathroom door closed.
In the room.
"Huff~ Huff~ Huff~"
Mu Yi''er blushed, breathing in small puffs.
She looked at the chicken soup and chicken in her hand.
"Gurgle gurgle gurgle~~~"
Mu Yi''er swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
"I have principles, I won''t eat, I won''t eat..."
Mu Yi''er self-hypnotized, looking as if she was heroically sacrificing herself, reluctantly putting the bowl back on the table.
Then.
She quickly slipped into the bed, wrapping her head inside.
The room quieted down, with the faint sound of showering and "gurgle gurgle" noises coming from the bathroom next door.
One minute.
Two minutes.
Three minutes.
...
The strange noises continued for a few minutes.
Mu Yi''er suddenly poked her head out from under the covers.
She stared in the direction of the bathroom for a while.
After hesitating and confirming that the shower was still running, Mu Yi''er emerged from the bed again.
"Just a little! I''ll just drink a little bit of soup! I won''t eat the meat! Drinking soup doesn''t count as eating, right?"
She gently picked up the bowl.
Took a deep breath of the aroma.
Her face filled with bliss!
After swallowing a mouthful of saliva, she took a small sip.
"Emmmmmmm~ So delicious, mom''s cooking is just amazing!"
Mu Yi''er squinted her eyes, her face full of happiness.
A second later.
She took another big sip.
In just a few seconds, she finished the bowl of chicken soup.
But.
The chicken soup didn''t stop Mu Yi''er''s stomach from protesting; instead, it acted like a catalyst, directly awakening her appetite!
Especially after finishing the soup, the few pieces of tender Black Chicken meat at the bottom of the bowl gave her a fatal temptation.
Mu Yi''er swallowed a mouthful of saliva and picked up the chopsticks.
"I wonder how this chicken tastes?"
At this moment, Mu Yi''er had completely forgotten that she had already eaten a small piece of chicken earlier.
"I''ll just taste a little, really just a little, just to taste the flavor..."
Mu Yi''er picked up a large piece of Black Chicken meat, "I wonder how mom''s cooking is lately, just drinking the soup doesn''t tell, I have to taste the meat to conclude!"
"Right! I just want to taste the flavor, to see if mom''s cooking has improved, not because I really want to eat!"
Thinking of this, Mu Yi''er''s beautiful eyes lit up.
She stuffed a large piece of Black Chicken meat into her mouth.
Her delicate, perfect face puffed up.
Happiness!
Satisfaction!
A few seconds later, Mu Yi''er slowly opened her eyes.
She glanced at the remaining half of the Black Chicken in the ceramic pot.
"Mm~ Eating just a little isn''t enough to determine if mom''s cooking has improved..."
Mu Yi''er comforted herself, tearing off two large pieces of Black Chicken meat from the pot.
One piece after another, she devoured them.
"Mm~ Just eating chicken isn''t enough either, this way I can''t determine if mom''s cooking has improved, I need to eat some chicken wings and feet..."
Mu Yi''er muttered, stuffing a chicken wing into her mouth.
...
...
When she was finally satisfied, all that was left in the ceramic pot was the skeleton of the half Black Chicken.
"Burp~"
Mu Yi''er patted her little belly, stretched contentedly, and let out a satisfied burp, just about to crawl back into bed.
At this moment, Bai Wu''s voice suddenly rang out: "Full?"
"Mm!"
"Was it delicious?"
"Delicious!"
"Was the soup fresh?"
"Mm!"
Mu Yi''er lazily responded a few times, then suddenly froze.
Wait!
Wait!
She hurriedly turned her head to look.
Then.
She saw Bai Wu leaning against the door, looking at her with a strange expression.
"You!!!!!!!"
Mu Yi''er''s eyes widened, looking guilty as if caught stealing, she pointed at Bai Wu and asked, "You, when did you..."
"When you were gnawing on the chicken wing, I was already standing here..." Bai Wu smiled.
Mu Yi''er: "..."
Chapter 22
Goodnight [New Book Seeking Collection!]
[New Book Seeking Collection! Seeking Flowers! Seeking Votes! Seeking Rewards! Seeking Everything!!!]
Mu Yi''er''s face was flushed red.
She timidly lowered her head, not daring to meet Bai Wu''s gaze.
"Yi''er, let me tell you a joke!" Bai Wu''s eyes twinkled as he suddenly spoke.
"Huh? Oh, okay... go ahead..."
Mu Yi''er nodded cautiously, then looked up to emphasize, "If it''s another one of those cold jokes, then don''t bother. They''re too lame..."
After saying this, Mu Yi''er exaggeratedly shivered.
Bai Wu: "..."
"The ant joke and the ones after, were they really that bad?"
Just as the thought crossed his mind, a large percentage number appeared before Bai Wu''s eyes: 100%.
"Ahem!"
Bai Wu coughed twice and smiled, "Don''t worry, this time I promise it won''t be a cold joke!"
"Then go ahead..." Mu Yi''er glanced at Bai Wu skeptically.
"Listen carefully!"
Bai Wu straightened his back and began, "Once upon a time, there was a man of unyielding spirit named Wang Jingze..."
"Wait, hold on, Wang Jingze, that name sounds familiar..." Mu Yi''er said, puzzled.
"Let me finish first!"
Bai Wu gave her a peculiar smile and continued, "When he was participating in a show, he made a bold declaration: ''I, Wang Jingze, would rather starve to death, die outside, or jump off from here than eat a single bite of your food!'' But ten minutes later, this man of unyielding spirit, Wang Jingze, was devouring a bowl of fried rice with great relish, even exclaiming: ''So delicious!''"If you encounter this narrative on Amazon, note that it''s taken without the author''s consent. Report it.
After finishing, Bai Wu laughed extravagantly and exaggeratedly.
Mu Yi''er was stunned, her face full of confusion.
"Yi''er, why aren''t you laughing? Isn''t it funny?" Bai Wu asked in a strange tone.
"What''s so funny about that?" Mu Yi''er rolled her eyes at Bai Wu, "Where''s the punchline?"
"Not hungry means not hungry! Not eating means not eating! I won''t drink a single sip of this soup!" Bai Wu said with a weird smile, repeating a firm statement Mu Yi''er had made earlier.
Mu Yi''er: "..."
The next moment.
Her face, which had just returned to normal, turned crimson again.
The room suddenly fell silent.
After a while.
"Ahhh!!!!!"
Mu Yi''er suddenly exclaimed, quickly changing the subject, "It''s almost midnight, and I have to get up early for work tomorrow. We should go to sleep!"
Then, she darted under the covers.
Bai Wu smiled slightly.
"By the way!"
Mu Yi''er''s head popped out from under the covers, pointing to the large stuffed toy in the middle of the bed as a divider, emphasizing, "No crossing this line tonight!"
"Don''t worry..."
Bai Wu raised his hand, "Yi''er, until you''re ready to fully accept it, I won''t overstep any boundaries!"
"Th-thank you..."
Mu Yi''er thanked him and burrowed back under the covers.
Too much is as bad as too little!
Pushing too hard could backfire!
Bai Wu couldn''t afford to rush things and risk making Mu Yi''er resent or even dislike him.
After tidying up the porcelain pot and dishes, Bai Wu left the bedroom, intending to put them in the kitchen sink.
However.
As soon as he stepped out.
He was met with the piercing gazes of Yang Liyin and Mu Jianguo, the elderly couple.
"Xiao Wu, what''s up? Why aren''t you asleep at this hour?" Yang Liyin asked.
"I just finished showering and was about to sleep, but I thought I''d tidy up these dishes first..."
Before Bai Wu could finish, Yang Liyin hurriedly approached.
She took the porcelain pot and dishes from Bai Wu''s hands.
Then, with a smile, she said, "Ah, leave these to me. You young ones should get to bed early!"
"But..."
Bai Wu was about to say a few polite words, but Yang Liyin and Mu Jianguo pushed him back.
"Xiao Wu, go to bed early!" Yang Liyin smiled broadly.
"Is Mu Yi''er really their biological daughter?" Bai Wu couldn''t help but wonder.
100%!
"Xiao Wu..."
Mu Jianguo winked at Bai Wu and whispered, "Don''t tire yourself out tonight, my Yi''er has never been with a boy before..."
"Ahem..." Bai Wu couldn''t help but cough.
Bai Wu: "..."
"Alright, alright, go to bed early, we old folks need our rest too!"
...
Bai Wu groggily returned to Mu Yi''er''s bedroom.
He closed the door and casually locked it.
"Why did you lock the door!!" Mu Yi''er suddenly emerged from under the covers.
"Uncle and Auntie..." Bai Wu shrugged, "If I don''t lock it, I''m afraid tomorrow morning..."
Mu Yi''er: "..."
She burrowed back under the covers once more.
The room fell silent again.
Bai Wu slowly walked to the bed and lay down.
"Thump thump thump!!!"
In the quiet room, the sound of Mu Yi''er''s rapidly beating heart echoed.
Undoubtedly, she was very nervous at this moment!
Her two small hands, exposed outside, tightly gripped the quilt.
"Yi''er, I''m turning off the light now, goodnight!"
Bai Wu said gently.
Mu Yi''er didn''t respond.
Bai Wu smiled slightly, about to turn off the light.
Suddenly.
Mu Yi''er''s head popped out from under the covers.
"Wa-wait a minute!"
"Hmm, what''s up, Yi''er?"
"Are we now?"
"Yes!"
Bai Wu paused for a moment, then smiled gently at Mu Yi''er.
Five seconds.
Ten seconds.
Fifteen seconds.
Gradually, she began to relax.
Thirty seconds later.
"Goodnight!"
"Mm, hu~hu~ goodnight!".

[Waaah!! New book, please add to your collection! Flowers! Votes! Tips! Everything!!! Three updates today!! The cover has been changed, but not updated yet, thanks to... **, Demon God Battle Sky, ** for the monthly votes and tips, muah!]
The lights went out.
The room fell into silence.
"Thump thump thump"
Mu Yi''er''s heart was racing, echoing loudly in the quiet room.
This wasn''t surprising at all.
After all, before today, Mu Yi''er was, to put it bluntly, not normal!
To be precise, Mu Yi''er still wasn''t.
She wanted to change herself, and she also wanted to change Di Qingqing...
As for the second reason.
"Probably because I''m just too handsome..." Bai Wu shamelessly thought to himself.
30%!
With a ''whoosh'', a percentage appeared before Bai Wu''s eyes.
"30%? What does that mean? Am I not handsome?"
60%!
"60%!? Only 60%? Are there people more handsome than me?"Unauthorized usage: this narrative is on Amazon without the author''s consent. Report any sightings.
100%!
"I don''t believe it! I don''t believe there''s anyone more handsome than me in this world!"
Believe it or not: 100%!
Bai Wu: "..."
In the dead of night.
As time passed, Mu Yi''er''s rapidly beating heart finally began to calm down.
No one knew how long it took before sleepiness crept in.
After Bai Wu fell asleep, in the darkness.
Mu Yi''er quietly poked her head out from under the covers.
She glanced in Bai Wu''s direction.
"It seems I don''t dislike men that much..."
Mu Yi''er quickly shook her head, "No, no, no, it''s this man..."
The bright moonlight streamed through the gap in the curtains, illuminating Mu Yi''er''s delicate and perfect face.
She gazed deeply at the sleeping Bai Wu, a smile gradually forming on her lips.
"Our first day together!"
Mu Yi''er clenched her Delicate Fist, "Go, Mu Yi''er!"
...
The next day.
"Oh no, oh no!"
Bai Wu suddenly opened his eyes, "I forgot to schedule the update for my novel last night!"
But the next second.
"No, no, no, damn it, all three of my books have already been abandoned!"
Bai Wu slapped his forehead in frustration, unable to help but complain, "Sigh... what a mess, I''ve already decided to quit the web novel scene, yet I''m still waking up because of missing a scheduled update..."
Bai Wu suddenly froze.
Wait!
Wait!
Phone, blind date, Di Qingqing, Mu Yi''er, meeting the parents...
The events of last night replayed in his mind.
His sleepiness vanished instantly.
The two of them were facing each other.
"Hmm~~~"
Bai Wu savored the moment.
"Should I give it a try? I probably won''t get caught, right?"
100%!
Seeing the fresh 100% symbol, Bai Wu shivered, "What! Could she be waking up now?"
100%!
The next second.
Bai Wu felt Mu Yi''er, who was curled up in his arms, suddenly move.
Then.
Mu Yi''er slowly opened her eyes.
Their eyes met.
"Hey~"
Bai Wu grinned, trying his best to show a friendly smile, "Good morning!"
Mu Yi''er looked completely confused.
But soon,
Her blurry eyes quickly cleared up.
Confusion.
Panic.
Terror.
Her eyes widened!!
"Oh no!"
Seeing Mu Yi''er about to scream, Bai Wu quickly reached out to cover her mouth.
"Mmm mmm mmm~~~"
Mu Yi''er''s entire body suddenly became incredibly stiff.
"Stop, stop, stop, stop!"
Bai Wu said, "Yi''er, calm down, calm down! First, I just woke up too, I don''t know anything, but I can guarantee, I didn''t do anything last night!"
"Second, I didn''t cross any lines! I''m still on my side! I don''t know either."
"Third, um... there''s no third for now, don''t scream, I''ll let you go slowly, okay? Just answer yes or no!"
"Mmm mmm!" Mu Yi''er made a muffled sound.
"Oh, sorry, sorry, I forgot I was covering your mouth so you can''t speak..."
Bai Wu gave Mu Yi''er an awkward smile, then said, "If you agree, blink twice!"
Mu Yi''er quickly blinked twice.
"Then I''ll let you go, Yi''er, you must stay calm, calm..."
Bai Wu slowly released Mu Yi''er.
His hands naturally slid down.
By pure coincidence.
Mu Yi''er''s eyes widened!
Bai Wu''s eyes widened too!
Here, Bai Wu could swear on his heart, he absolutely didn''t do it on purpose!!!!
Coincidence!
It''s all coincidence!!
"This is really just a coincidence!"
49.5%!
Chapter 24
You''re right [New book, please add to your collection!]
[Ying ying ying ying ying, new book, please add to your collection! Flowers! Votes! Tips! Everything!]
Inside the bedroom.
A moment of silence.
One minute.
Two minutes.
Three minutes.
...
Several minutes passed.
The panic and fear on Mu Yi''er''s face gradually faded.
In its place, her face, which had turned slightly pale from fright, now had a rosy blush.
After another five minutes.
Mu Yi''er suddenly looked up.
With a flushed face and wide eyes, she snapped at Bai Wu, "Have you seen enough? How long are you going to keep staring?"
"At this moment, wouldn''t it be inappropriate to just look away?"
100%!
Having received the answer he wanted, Bai Wu made up his mind.
Love this story? Find the genuine version on the author''s preferred platform and support their work!
He continued to gaze deeply at Mu Yi''er and smiled slightly, "I can never see enough. Such a beautiful and charming girl, I need a lifetime to see enough!"
Mu Yi''er was taken aback at first, but soon a faint smile appeared on her face.
Just then, the phone rang suddenly.
Mu Yi''er picked up her phone and the smile on her face vanished.
She looked up at Bai Wu, her face full of complex emotions¡ªpanic, guilt, unease, and so on...
"It''s Qingqing!" Mu Yi''er bit her lip, looking helpless.
Bai Wu gave her a reassuring look, "Answer it! If you can''t, I''ll help you!"
Mu Yi''er clutched her phone tightly and stared at the WeChat video call on the screen, caught in a struggle...
After a while, just as Mu Yi''er was about to answer the call, it ended.
Mu Yi''er bit her lower lip tightly, staring at the missed WeChat call, lost in thought, silent for a long time.
A few seconds later.
The ringtone sounded again.
It was Di Qingqing calling!
This time, Mu Yi''er answered the call directly and even turned on the speaker.
"Hello, Qingqing, what''s up?" Mu Yi''er tried to make her voice sound as cold as possible.
"I miss you, Sister Mu!" Di Qingqing''s voice trembled.
"Do you need something?" Mu Yi''er asked coldly.
"Qingqing!"
Mu Yi''er spoke, glancing at Bai Wu with determination on her face, "I already have a boyfriend!"
"Are you talking about that Bai Wu? No, no, it can''t be, Sister Mu, don''t lie to me, I don''t believe it..."
Di Qingqing choked up and shouted, "Sister Mu, I''ve decided, let''s, let''s buy a house by the southern seaside, live together, say good morning and good night, travel together, watch the sunrise together..."
"I''m sorry, Qingqing, in my heart, there''s no room for you anymore, my heart belongs to him alone now!" Mu Yi''er said firmly and coldly.
"Oh my god!"
Listening to Mu Yi''er and Di Qingqing''s conversation, Bai Wu couldn''t help but mutter to himself, "It makes me sound like I''m intruding on someone else''s happy life..."
100%!
"100% my foot!" Bai Wu''s face was full of black lines.
...
"Sister Mu, don''t lie to me, we''ve been together for two whole years, don''t I know you? You would never be with a man!"
Di Qingqing added, "Even if! Even if you really fell in love with a man, it could never be that Bai Wu, that liar, that bastard..."
Before Di Qingqing could finish, Mu Yi''er suddenly interrupted her coldly, "Enough, Qingqing, Bai Wu is my boyfriend, and he will be my husband, I won''t allow you to belittle him!"
"Sister Mu..."
Di Qingqing''s voice was full of determination and hope, "It''s fake, all fake, Sister Mu, I know you''re doing this for me, I beg you, come back, stop pretending..."
"Qingqing, you''re being too self-indulgent, I''m not pretending, I''m not acting, my feelings for him are genuine..." Mu Yi''er said coldly.
"No, Sister Mu, I don''t believe it, it''s impossible!" Di Qingqing said word by word.
At this moment, Bai Wu suddenly winked at Mu Yi''er.
Then, Bai Wu asked, "Yi''er, whose call is it? It''s early in the morning, can''t a person get some sleep?"
"A man''s! A man''s voice! Sister Mu! Why is there a man''s voice in your room!" Di Qingqing suddenly became agitated.
The next second.
Bai Wu moved to Mu Yi''er''s side and gently tapped her forehead.
And all of this.
Was captured by the phone''s front camera and appeared on the screen.
"Bai! Wu!!!!"
"No! No! Bai Wu, damn it, you bastard, what have you done to my Sister Mu!"
Di Qingqing gritted her teeth and shouted, "Sister Mu, you must have been deceived by this lousy man, I will prove it, I will prove to you that men, not a single one is good..."
For some reason, Bai Wu felt that Di Qingqing in the video was turning green!
Really turning green!
The kind of green that turns blue!

The call ended.
Mu Yi''er stared blankly, lost in thought.
After a long while, she slowly came back to her senses.
"Qingqing can be a bit willful, but don''t worry, I won''t let her disturb us. There''s no possibility between her and me..." Mu Yi''er suddenly explained.
"I trust you!" Bai Wu said firmly.
"Th-thank you!" Mu Yi''er smiled gently.
"Alright, it''s getting late. We should get up early. Don''t you have important matters to handle at the company this morning?"
After Bai Wu spoke,
Mu Yi''er''s previously tense body finally relaxed.
Although she acted normal in front of Di Qingqing, Bai Wu could clearly sense her tension and unease!
In fact, if Di Qingqing had calmed down, she would have noticed Mu Yi''er''s unusual behavior.
"Wait, wait!"
Mu Yi''er suddenly grabbed Bai Wu''s sleeve.
"What''s wrong?" Bai Wu asked, puzzled.
Mu Yi''er lowered her head slowly, her voice growing softer.Love what you''re reading? Discover and support the author on the platform they originally published on.
"Oh my! This is just too cute!"
Bai Wu couldn''t help but think.
Then.
He reached out.
Mu Yi''er''s whole body instinctively tensed, her delicate fists clenched.
Bai Wu slowly leaned down.
"Wait, wait, wait!"
Mu Yi''er suddenly shrank back, timidly saying, "Brush, brush teeth first!"
Bai Wu: "..."
"Speaking of brushing teeth..."
Mu Yi''er''s eyes widened, "You, you... didn''t brush your teeth last night, did you?"
"I did, how could I not!" Bai Wu was surprised.
"But, but I remember my parents didn''t bring a new toothbrush yesterday?"
Mu Yi''er was also surprised, "What did you use to brush your teeth?"
"That blue-handled toothbrush, right? Didn''t you prepare that for me in advance?" Bai Wu asked, puzzled.
"The blue-handled toothbrush..."
Mu Yi''er''s eyes widened, "Was it in the cabinet?"
Bai Wu nodded.
Mu Yi''er fell silent, her face full of mixed emotions.
"Wasn''t that toothbrush prepared by you for me?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Bai Wu was met with a 0% probability and Mu Yi''er''s shaking head.
Bai Wu: "..."
"That toothbrush wasn''t used to clean the sink, was it?" Bai Wu''s eyes widened, trembling as he asked.
At that moment, Bai Wu felt like throwing up everything he ate last night, including the black chicken and goji berry red date soup. He regretted it so much!
He had been too presumptuous yesterday!
He should have used his superpower to confirm first!
But fortunately.
A 0% probability made Bai Wu feel relieved.
"No, it''s not..." Mu Yi''er bit her lip, shaking her head.
"Is this toothbrush also used by Mu Yi''er herself?"
0%!
"Is this toothbrush used by someone else?"
10%!
"Someone else, someone else... Oh my gosh!!!"
A bold and terrifying guess suddenly emerged in Bai Wu''s mind, and he couldn''t help but blurt out, "Is this toothbrush used by that little girl Di Qingqing?"
100%!
Mu Yi''er nodded with a strange expression.
Bai Wu: "..."
"This was prepared for Qingqing when she came to my house last week..."
Mu Yi''er explained softly, "But Qingqing only used it twice..."
"You even brought Di Qingqing home?" Bai Wu asked, surprised.
Mu Yi''er nodded weakly.
"No wonder..."
Bai Wu couldn''t help but mutter.
"No wonder what?" Mu Yi''er asked.
"No wonder your parents were so anxious, trying every way to keep me here, hoping something would happen between us. Maybe they were already suspicious of you..." Bai Wu explained.
100%!
Since Di Qingqing only used the toothbrush twice, Bai Wu reluctantly let it go.
Of course!
It also helped that Di Qingqing was a great beauty.
If she were someone less attractive, it would be a different story!
After brushing their teeth.
The two exchanged a knowing glance.
Mu Yi''er''s body tensed up again, her delicate fists clenched, eyes closed.
Bai Wu gently held Mu Yi''er''s exquisitely beautiful face, as if holding a rare treasure.
Mu Yi''er''s body trembled slightly.
"Good morning, Yi''er!"
...
Leaving Mu Yi''er''s house, Bai Wu headed to the antique free trading market.
On the way, he casually visited two lottery shops.
Income +4550 yuan!
Money isn''t everything, but without money, nothing is possible!
Make money! Make money!
Bai Wu''s top priority now is to make money!
After all, he doesn''t want to be known as a gigolo.
"Hey, isn''t that Boss Wang!"
As soon as he stepped into the free trading market, Bai Wu saw Old Wang, the Fat Boss from yesterday.
The Fat Boss noticed Bai Wu greeting him and couldn''t help but recall yesterday''s painful experience, his face immediately darkening.
Chapter 26
Damn, I''m gonna be rich! [New book, please add to your collection!]
[New book, please add to your collection! Flowers needed! Votes needed! Tips needed! Everything needed! Suddenly remembered, this book hasn''t been signed yet, currently preparing the contract, hopefully, the results will be a bit better after signing...]
"Boss Wang, how''s it going? Did you manage to pick up any antiques from the countryside today?" Bai Wu asked with a smile.
Fat Boss''s face darkened.
But soon, a simple and honest smile appeared on his round, chubby face.
"Young man, you came at the right time. Last night, I went out and collected quite a few ancient items. Want to take a look?" Fat Boss invited.
"Why do I feel something''s off?" Bai Wu muttered to himself.
100%!
"Is this fatty trying to pass off some fakes on me?"
100%!
"Damn, is he really that unscrupulous?"
100%!
"Where''s the basic trust between people? I just spent two thousand on a bronze wine cup from him and sold it for six hundred thousand. And now he wants to fool me? Hmph, let''s see how this plays out!"
Though Bai Wu thought this, he still put on a simple and honest smile: "In that case, Boss Wang, lead the way!"
"Alright, alright!"
The two of them walked to the stall one after the other.
On the stall, there were seven or eight porcelain pieces.
These porcelains were painted in various colors like yellow, green, white, brown, and black, but mainly in yellow, green, and brown.This story has been taken without authorization. Report any sightings.
"Come, young man, take a look. I got these from a village in the mountains, for, um... uh..." Fat Boss stuttered suddenly.
It seemed he was considering how to quote a price that wouldn''t scare Bai Wu away.
The next second, he suddenly raised a hand and said, "I spent a whole fifty thousand to buy these seven porcelain pieces!"
After speaking, Fat Boss winked mysteriously at Bai Wu and leaned in to whisper, "Fat Lord specifically asked around the village. It''s said that the family who owned these got rich following Li Shimin at the end of the Sui Dynasty and prospered during Wu Zetian''s time, so these porcelains might be..."
Damn Li Shimin!
Damn Wu Zetian!
You damn liar, don''t you need a draft for your nonsense?
"Tang Tri-Color Pottery?" Bai Wu blurted out with a ''thrilled'' expression.
Fat Boss nodded with a pleased look, like a teacher proud of a promising student: "That''s right, judging by their craftsmanship and glaze, these porcelains could very well be Tang Tri-Color Pottery..."
"How much are you selling these for, Boss?" Bai Wu asked with a ''tempted'' look.
"Considering you''re a regular customer..."
Fat Boss smiled and gestured the number ''6'' with his hand: "Young man, how about it?"
"Sixty!?" Bai Wu exclaimed exaggeratedly.
Fat Boss''s face turned black instantly.
Before he could speak, Bai Wu suddenly grabbed his hand, looking ''moved'': "Boss Wang, you''re too generous! Seven porcelain pieces for just sixty bucks? I think these porcelains are quite well-made, even in a factory, they''d cost dozens or hundreds each, right?"
"No, young man, you mis..."
Before Fat Boss could finish, Bai Wu interrupted him again: "No way, Boss, sixty bucks is too cheap. If I really bought all these porcelains for sixty bucks, my conscience would be uneasy!"
Saying this, Bai Wu dramatically placed his hand over his right chest.
"Your heart''s on the right side?"
Fat Boss was speechless, grumbling inwardly.
"How about this, Boss, I can''t let you suffer a loss. Let me think it over and give you a fair price!"
Bai Wu said, eyeing the seven porcelains on the stall, muttering to himself: "These seven porcelains should all be fake, right?"
14.28%!
"Turns out they''re all fake..."
Bai Wu suddenly froze.
"Hmm? Wait! 14.28%? That means one in seven, could there really be an antique among these seven porcelains?"
100%!
"Damn!"
Bai Wu''s eyes lit up, a terrifying and bold idea emerged, "What''s the success rate of me buying a genuine Tang Tri-Color Pottery from these seven porcelains?"
14.28%!
"Damn! Damn! Damn! Damn! There''s really a genuine Tang Tri-Color Pottery here?"
100%!
"Absolutely certain?"
100%!
"This Tang Tri-Color Pottery could sell for several million, right?"
100%!
"Five million?"
100%!
"Seven million?"
100%
"Ten million?"
90%!
"Damn, I''m really gonna be rich!"
Bai Wu''s face gradually turned red with excitement.
Meanwhile, Fat Boss squinted his eyes in satisfaction.
He suddenly said, "Young man, Fat Lord finds you pleasing to the eye, just sixty thousand, and you can take all seven Tang Tri-Color Pottery!"
"Absolutely certain!?"
Bai Wu looked up, full of joy, at Fat Boss, as if he was looking at a god of wealth!
"If you think it''s too expensive..."
Fat Boss, bewildered by Bai Wu''s attitude, voluntarily lowered the price: "I''ll give you a discount, a flat fifty thousand!"
"Sure, no problem, I''ll transfer the money right now!"
Without hesitation, Bai Wu scanned the QR code on the stall and transferred fifty thousand to Fat Boss.
Fat Boss was left dumbfounded by Bai Wu''s decisiveness.
"Could there really be a genuine piece among these seven porcelains?"
Fat Boss quickly shook his head: "No, no, no, impossible, impossible, these porcelains were all wholesale from a Tang Tri-Color Pottery workshop in that mountain village, two hundred each, how could there be a genuine one?"
Thinking of this, Fat Boss couldn''t help but feel smug: "Ah, young people these days, really think they''re the protagonist of a novel, thinking they can find Tang Tri-Color Pottery at any random stall? Still too young!".
Chapter 27

[New book, please add to your collection! Flowers! Votes! Tips! Everything! Wah wah wah! Thanks to the support from the adventurers and wild (censored) racers!]
"Old Wang, did you sell all your goods in just a blink of an eye?"
The owner of Stall No. 1 walked over while munching on a bun, noticing the empty stall of the Fat Boss and asked curiously.
"Yeah, actually, I didn''t want to sell them so quickly. It''s so nice to stay here; everyone in the market is talented and speaks so well. I love being here, but yesterday that young man insisted on spending half a million to buy all my goods. I had no choice!"
The Fat Boss sighed dramatically, emphasizing the words "half a million" with great pride.
The Stall No. 1 owner''s bun-chewing paused abruptly.
"Ah, life is like this, full of ups and downs. Spending fifteen hundred to buy ceramics and selling them for half a million, money really comes too easily!" The Fat Boss continued to boast.
The face of the Stall No. 1 owner gradually darkened, stiff with disbelief.
"Wait, Old Wang, what did you just say?"
The Stall No. 1 owner suddenly thought of something and asked in a strange tone, "Did you say that young man yesterday? Could it be the one who bought a bronze wine cup from you for two thousand and resold it for six hundred thousand?"
The Fat Boss''s expression froze slightly, and he nodded, "That''s right, it''s him!"
If you discover this tale on Amazon, be aware that it has been unlawfully taken from Royal Road. Please report it.
The face of the Stall No. 1 owner grew even more peculiar, "Old Wang, didn''t you learn your lesson yesterday? If that young man is willing to spend half a million on your ceramics, and from what you said, he insisted on buying them, then could it be..."
Saying this, a gloating smile appeared on his face as he continued, "Is there a genuine piece among those ceramics?"
"Old Yang, you''re underestimating me too much!"
The Fat Boss straightened his back proudly and said, "I''ve been in this market for almost ten years, and I have a good eye. How could I make a mistake?"
"As if you didn''t make a mistake yesterday!" the Stall No. 1 owner muttered.
The Fat Boss''s expression stiffened, and he laughed it off, "Yesterday was an accident. The seven ceramics that young man bought today were wholesale from a workshop. I picked them randomly from their basement shelves for two hundred each. How could there be a genuine piece?"
"Let me tell you this!"
The Fat Boss said with a smile, "If there''s a genuine piece among those seven ceramics, I''ll stand on my head and... well, you know the rest."
"Alright, alright, Old Yang, I won''t chat with you anymore. I need to pack up and leave, then go to that workshop to buy another batch of ceramics. Who knows when I''ll meet another sucker, hehe..."
The Fat Boss chuckled smugly and began to tidy up his stall.
After a short while.
Outside the free trading market.
A Hummer SUV pulled up.
Under the curious gazes of the crowd.
The car door opened.
From the Hummer SUV, a girl with glasses, medium-short hair, and wearing a Hanfu, stepped down.
The contrast between the Hummer SUV and this short-haired glasses girl was striking, like beauty and the beast.
"Oh no, oh no, while tidying up last night, I accidentally put grandpa''s favorite genuine Tang Tri-Color Pottery on the shelf, and it was wholesaled for two hundred! Che Xiaoxiao, how could you be so stupid!"
Che Xiaoxiao, the short-haired glasses girl who jumped out of the Hummer, muttered anxiously as she walked into the free trading market.
From a distance.
She saw the Fat Boss who was packing up to leave.
"Hey, you, stop right there!"
Che Xiaoxiao shouted anxiously at the Fat Boss.
"Old Wang, a young lady is calling you!"
The owner of Stall No. 1 reminded the Fat Boss, winking, "Wow, Old Wang, what''s this about a glasses girl looking for you?"
"Don''t talk nonsense, I''m a decent person!"
The Fat Boss said, turning his head to look at Che Xiaoxiao.
"Hmm? Who is this young lady?" The Fat Boss was puzzled.
"What, Old Wang, you don''t know her?" The Stall No. 1 owner was confused, "But from the looks of it, she''s clearly here for you. Old Wang, did you do something terrible while drunk?"
"Old Yang, wait a minute, hold on!"
The Fat Boss stared at Che Xiaoxiao, who was quickly running over, feeling as if he had seen her somewhere before.
After a while, the Fat Boss suddenly realized, "Oh, I remember now! I saw this girl at the workshop last night. She seems to be the granddaughter of the workshop owner!"
"Why is the workshop owner''s granddaughter suddenly rushing over to find you?" The Stall No. 1 owner was puzzled.
"Yeah, why is she looking for me?" The Fat Boss was also confused.
One second!
Two seconds!
Three seconds!
The two suddenly widened their eyes.
They exchanged a glance.
"Could it be!!!"
Chapter 28
"It''s just a replica, I tell you! [New book, please add to your collection!]
[New book, please add to your collection! Flowers! Votes! Tips! Everything! Waaaah!]
"No, no, no, no, no!"
The Fat Boss shook his head urgently, "Impossible! Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"
At this moment, Che Xiaoxiao rushed over in a hurry.
"Huff, huff~ Huff, huff~ Boss!!" Che Xiaoxiao panted heavily.
"Y-Young lady, is there something you need?" The Fat Boss swallowed hard, shrinking back as he cautiously asked.
"Huff~ Fat Uncle, those seven porcelain pieces I sold you last night, do you still have them? I''m willing to pay ten thousand yuan to buy them back!" Che Xiaoxiao said, out of breath.
"It''s over!"
The Fat Boss''s eyes rolled as a sense of foreboding deepened in his heart.
He swallowed again, eyes wide, cautiously asking, "What about those porcelain pieces?"
"It''s nothing, just that one of them is my grandfather''s masterpiece. He intended to keep it as a non-sale item, but I accidentally put it on the shelf yesterday..." Che Xiaoxiao explained, looking ''frustrated.''
"Whew~~~"
Hearing Che Xiaoxiao''s explanation, the Fat Boss''s tense nerves relaxed instantly.
He exchanged a glance with the owner of Stall No. 1 next door and laughed, "I thought it was something serious, but in the end, it''s just a replica. That''s a relief!"
"Fat Uncle..." Che Xiaoxiao said innocently, "How about this, Fat Uncle, those seven porcelain pieces were two hundred yuan each, you spent a total of fourteen hundred yuan. I''ll pay twenty thousand yuan to buy them back. How about that?"The author''s narrative has been misappropriated; report any instances of this story on Amazon.
The Fat Boss shook his head, "No, young..."
Before he could finish, Che Xiaoxiao hurriedly interrupted, "Thirty thousand! Fat Uncle, I''ll offer thirty thousand, no, no, no, fifty thousand! I''m willing to pay fifty thousand yuan to buy back those seven porcelain pieces!"
"No, young lady, listen to me..."
Before the Fat Boss could finish, he was once again interrupted by Che Xiaoxiao''s offer, "One hundred thousand! Fat Boss, I''m willing to pay one hundred thousand to buy them back!"
Che Xiaoxiao looked pitiful, pouting as she continued, "Please, Fat Uncle, that porcelain piece is really important to my grandfather..."
"Young lady, listen to me!"
The Fat Boss hurriedly explained, "It''s not that I don''t want to sell them to you, but I just sold the whole lot to someone else!"
"What!?"
Che Xiaoxiao was struck as if by lightning, "Sold, sold, sold!?"
"Yeah, young lady, Old Wang said some young man insisted on paying five hundred thousand to buy those seven porcelain pieces..." the owner of Stall No. 1 couldn''t help but interject.
"F-F-Five hundred thousand!?" Che Xiaoxiao was dumbfounded.
"By the way, Old Wang, how did you persuade that young man? Those are just porcelain pieces made in a workshop, yet he was willing to pay five hundred thousand!" the owner of Stall No. 1 asked curiously.
"Hehehe, I didn''t say much. I just mentioned that these porcelain pieces were bought from the countryside, and that the family had followed Li Shimin at the end of the Sui Dynasty, reaching their peak during Wu Zetian''s reign..." the Fat Boss scratched his head.
"Tang Tri-Color Pottery? Did you tell that young man those seven porcelain pieces were Tang Tri-Color Pottery?" the owner of Stall No. 1 asked, eyes wide, "And he actually believed your nonsense?"
"Heh, hehehe..."
The Fat Boss explained smugly, "I wasn''t lying. The young lady''s family workshop is really in a mountain village, and their craftsmanship truly has been passed down since the Tang Dynasty. The seven porcelain pieces I sold him are indeed Tang Tri-Color Pottery, just not from the Tang Dynasty..."
"But wasn''t that young man quite shrewd? Just yesterday, he spent two thousand here and picked up a bronze wine cup worth six hundred thousand. How could he be so foolish today? If there were genuine Tang Tri-Color Pottery among those pieces, would it still be his turn?" the owner of Stall No. 1 said enviously.
"Haha, young people are impulsive. It''s quite normal!" the Fat Boss laughed proudly.
"Sigh~~~ Old Wang, I envy you. When will I encounter such a big spender?" the owner of Stall No. 1 sighed.
"It''s over, it''s over, it''s over!"
Che Xiaoxiao, standing to the side, was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, muttering to herself, "What to do, what to do, what to do, what to do now, Che Xiaoxiao, you really are a fool, doing something so stupid just to get online early to play PUBG, ahhh!"
Che Xiaoxiao was now regretting so much that her intestines were turning blue.
Yesterday, in her haste to get online and play games, she hadn''t paid much attention while packing, which led to her accidentally putting a genuine Tang Tri-Color Pottery piece on the shelf.
It wasn''t until this morning, when she opened for business, that Che Xiaoxiao belatedly realized she had accidentally sold a genuine Tang Tri-Color Pottery piece!
Thinking about it, Che Xiaoxiao was almost driven to tears by her own foolishness.
"Hey, hey, hey, young lady, don''t cry. Even though it''s your grandfather''s masterpiece, it''s ultimately just a replica. Just apologize to your grandfather when you get home, no need to cry..." the Fat Boss hurriedly consoled.
"I told you I''m not crying!"
Che Xiaoxiao looked up, glaring angrily at the Fat Boss, retorting, "First, I''m not crying. Second, I told you it''s just a replica!"
The Fat Boss was taken aback.
The next second!
His eyes widened sharply, "Y-Young lady, what do you mean by that? N-Not a replica..."
"Who''s a young lady!"
Che Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes, "I''m 18 this year, an adult, not young. As for what I meant, it''s exactly as I said, it''s not a replica. It''s a family heirloom, and my grandfather once had a customer willing to pay ten million for it, but he refused!"
Chapter 29
Was it really a coincidence? [New book, please add to your collection!]
[New book, please add to your collection! Flowers! Votes! Tips! Everything! Waaah!]
As soon as Che Xiaoxiao said this, the Fat Boss was completely stunned.
"Clatter!"
His phone slipped from his hand and fell to the ground, making a crisp sound.
The next second.
His pupils contracted sharply.
His eyes widened, looking like a pair of large cow eyes.
The Fat Boss shivered all over and stammered, "H-how much!?"
"Someone offered ten million and you didn''t sell it!?" The Fat Boss turned to the owner of Stall No. 1 and asked, "Old Yang, did I hear that right?"
"Old Wang..."
The owner of Stall No. 1 suddenly patted the Fat Boss on the shoulder and said gleefully, "You''ve been something else lately. Yesterday, you sold a bronze wine cup worth six hundred thousand for two thousand. Today, even more impressive, you sold a Tang Tri-Color Pottery worth ten million for fifty thousand!"
The Fat Boss''s face turned black as if he had swallowed something unpleasant.
"Hey, Fatty, the guy you''re talking about went that way!" Che Xiaoxiao suddenly pointed out.
"Towards the Ancient Charm Pavilion..."
The Fat Boss paused and exclaimed, "He''s heading straight for the Ancient Charm Pavilion! Could it be that he really spotted the genuine piece among those seven ceramics at a glance?"Ensure your favorite authors get the support they deserve. Read this novel on the original website.
"Ancient Charm Pavilion!?"
Che Xiaoxiao''s eyes widened, "This is bad! No way, no way, no way, we can''t let that guy go over there, or it''s all over!"
Muttering to herself, Che Xiaoxiao sprinted towards the Ancient Charm Pavilion.
Meanwhile...
At the top floor of the Ancient Charm Pavilion, in a private room.
Bai Wu sat casually on the sofa. Opposite him was an old man with gray hair but an exceptionally energetic demeanor.
The old man wore a blue traditional jacket and held a large magnifying glass, meticulously examining the camel-shaped ceramic on the table.
After a while, the old man put down the magnifying glass.
He looked up at Bai Wu, his eyes full of excitement and surprise.
"Mr. Bai, may I ask where you got this Tri-Color Camel Figurine?" the old man inquired.
"I just spent fifty thousand to pick it up from the free trading market outside. The vendor said he bought it for fifty thousand from a rural area!" Bai Wu replied, puzzled. "Is there something wrong with this Tang Tri-Color Camel Figurine, sir?"
"No, no, please allow me to keep you in suspense for a moment. May I ask, Mr. Bai, was the vendor a man or a woman?" the old man pressed further.
Bai Wu grew even more puzzled but answered truthfully, "A man, everyone in the market calls him Old Wang..."
"Ah, so it was Wang Youde!" The old man exhaled deeply.
"Why do I feel something''s off?" Bai Wu couldn''t help but mutter to himself.
100%!
"Sir..."
Bai Wu furrowed his brows slightly but before he could ask, the old man shook his head and explained, "Mr. Bai, rest assured, this Tri-Color Camel Figurine is flawless and very well-preserved..."
"Then why did you...?" Bai Wu pursued.
"Haha, Mr. Bai might not know, but I have a similar Tri-Color Camel Figurine at home, identical to yours. I thought my granddaughter had secretly sold it!" the old man explained.
"I see..."
Bai Wu nodded thoughtfully, a bizarre idea suddenly surfacing in his mind: "A Tang Tri-Color from the Tang Dynasty, over a thousand years old, identical, isn''t that too much of a coincidence? Could this be the one the old man mentioned?"
100%!
"Whoa!!!"
Seeing the percentage suddenly appear before him, Bai Wu couldn''t hold back and spat out his tea.
Fortunately, he reacted quickly, and the tea landed in the trash can.
"What happened, Mr. Bai?" the old man asked.
"Nothing, I just got burned!" Bai Wu ''laughed'' awkwardly, though his mind was in turmoil.
"Damn! Could this Tang Tri-Color have been stolen by that Fatty?"
0%!
"Not stolen by the Fatty? Could it have been stolen by someone else and then bought cheaply by the Fatty?"
0%!
"Hmm? Could it really be as the Fatty said, bought openly for fifty thousand?"
2.8%!
"What does 2.8% mean?"
Bai Wu paused, "Did the Fatty pay less than fifty thousand for this Tang Tri-Color?"
100%!
"Less than forty thousand?"
100%!
...
"Less than five hundred?"
100%!
"Less than three hundred?"
100%!
"Two hundred?"
100%!
"Damn, that Fatty''s impressive, buying a genuine Tang Tri-Color for two hundred bucks, that''s amazing!" Bai Wu suddenly felt a bit of admiration for the Fat Boss.
"Mr. Bai!"
As Bai Wu was lost in thought, the old man spoke with anticipation and determination, "If this Tri-Color Camel Figurine were put up for auction, it could fetch around twelve million. The next auction is in three months. If Mr. Bai doesn''t mind, I''d like to offer nine million to buy this Tri-Color Camel Figurine. What do you think?"
"Nine million..." Bai Wu paused for a few seconds.
"Mr. Bai, don''t think nine million is too cheap. If it goes to auction, the organizers will take a ten percent commission, and there are various procedures to handle..." the old man quickly explained.
"Then as you wish, sir!" Bai Wu smiled slightly.

POS machine transfer.
Nine million credited.
"Dear star-rated user, China Construction Bank reminds you that your account ending in 2333 has received a transfer of 9,000,000 yuan, with a balance of 9,454,860 yuan."
Retracting his gaze from the message.
Bai Wu looked up and gave the old gentleman a slight smile.
He gently reached out and pushed the Tri-Color Camel Figurine in front of the old gentleman, smiling as he said, "Old sir, it''s yours now!"
The old gentleman carefully retrieved a box made of agarwood from the cabinet behind him and gently placed the Tri-Color Camel Figurine inside.
He closed the lid and let out a satisfied breath.
"Old sir, I won''t disturb you any longer!"
Bai Wu stood up and nodded to the old gentleman.
"Mr. Bai, please wait a moment!"
The old gentleman took out a simple business card from his pocket and handed it to Bai Wu: "This is my card. If you come across any good items in the future, feel free to contact me. I will definitely offer you a satisfactory price!"
"I understand!"
Bai Wu glanced at the card and then said, "Che Yongkang, Mr. Che..."
The old gentleman, Che Yongkang, nodded kindly.
As Bai Wu descended the stairs and reached the entrance of the Ancient Charm Pavilion, he saw a short-haired girl with glasses running over from a distance¡ªit was Che Xiaoxiao, hurrying over.The author''s narrative has been misappropriated; report any instances of this story on Amazon.
"Damn, how did I not notice before that there are so many beauties around here? This short-haired cute girl is definitely above 93 points!"
Bai Wu''s eyes lit up.
With her medium-short hair, large-framed glasses, and blue-and-white sportswear, Che Xiaoxiao gave off the impression of a schoolgirl who hadn''t yet entered the big, bad world¡ªpure, enticing, and making one want to hold her tightly and spoil her.
"Why is she in such a hurry? Could it be something urgent?"
Watching Che Xiaoxiao running towards him, Bai Wu couldn''t help but speculate.
100%!
"Even if it''s urgent, she shouldn''t run so fast. What if she accidentally trips?"
100%!
"100%? Hmm? What does that mean?"
Bai Wu was puzzled. "Could it be that this short-haired girl is really going to trip?"
100%!
Bai Wu quickly shifted his gaze away from Che Xiaoxiao and scanned the area inside and outside the entrance of the Ancient Charm Pavilion, identifying several places where Che Xiaoxiao might trip.
"Could it be that this short-haired girl trips on the steps?"
0%!
"Trips over the threshold?"
0%!
"Trips because she''s running too fast and someone accidentally bumps into her?"
0%!
Bai Wu was met with three consecutive zeros.
He frowned slightly, "None of these? Then how does this short-haired girl trip? Could she actually trip over her own feet?"
100%!
"Uh..."
Bai Wu was stunned, at a loss for words.
At this moment, the short-haired girl, Che Xiaoxiao, was already panting as she reached the entrance of the Ancient Charm Pavilion.
Standing still, she propped her hands on her knees, took a few breaths, then stepped up the stairs.
Reaching the entrance of the Ancient Charm Pavilion.
"Whew, finally made it. Whew, hope, hope I''m not too late."
Che Xiaoxiao muttered to herself as she caught her breath, then walked into the store, brushing past Bai Wu at the door.
"Young lady, be careful not to trip over your own feet!" Bai Wu suddenly reminded her.
Che Xiaoxiao paused, looking at Bai Wu in confusion, "What?"
"I said, running in such a hurry, be careful not to trip over your own feet!" Bai Wu smiled slightly, repeating himself.
"Hah, funny. Do you know who I am?" Che Xiaoxiao asked arrogantly, puffing out her chest.
"No idea." Bai Wu shook his head.
"Listen up, I''m Che Xiaoxiao. Me, trip over my own feet? Funny!"
Che Xiaoxiao gave Bai Wu a once-over and then said, "I say, mister, your way of striking up a conversation is a bit outdated, isn''t it? Are you still single?"
Bai Wu: "..."
Damn it, striking up a conversation!
Damn it, single!
I''m a married man now, okay?
Wait!
Hold on!
Che Xiaoxiao...
The surname Che...
"I remember Mr. Che Yongkang mentioned he has a granddaughter... Could this short-haired cute girl be her?"
As soon as Bai Wu had this thought, a percentage appeared before his eyes: 100%!
"Why is Mr. Che''s granddaughter rushing over here?" Bai Wu wondered.
At this moment, Che Xiaoxiao shook her head and muttered to herself, "Oh no, oh no, Che Xiaoxiao, what are you doing flirting with a stranger at a time like this? I need to get that Tri-Color Camel Figurine back before Grandpa finds out what happened!"
"Tri-Color Camel Figurine!?"
Bai Wu was stunned, then widened his eyes, "No way, could it really be that Mr. Che was right, and this Tri-Color Camel Figurine was actually sold by his granddaughter?"
100%!
"This girl is really a squandering woman!"
Bai Wu glanced at Che Xiaoxiao, feeling a myriad of emotions, "A Tang Tri-Color Pottery worth ten million, sold for just two hundred yuan. I can''t afford to mess with her..."
At this moment, Che Xiaoxiao hurriedly headed towards the counter on the first floor of the Ancient Charm Pavilion.
And then.
Just as she was about to take her first step.
Her left toe kicked the heel of her right foot.
Then.
She lost her balance.
Just as Bai Wu had said.
She tripped over her own feet.
"Damn it¡ªCrow! Mouth! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah!"
Chapter 31
Stop right there! [New book, please add to your collection!]
[New book, please add to your collection! Flowers! Votes! Tips! Everything!!]
Considering Che Xiaoxiao is a cute girl with short hair.
And also considering the nine million yuan that just landed in my bank account.
Bai Wu, who had long anticipated that Che Xiaoxiao would trip over herself, quickly reached out to catch her!
However.
Before Bai Wu could lend a hand.
Che Xiaoxiao, like a drowning person grabbing a lifeline, flailed her arms and legs, reaching out frantically towards Bai Wu.
In the end.
She clung to Bai Wu like a koala bear.
"See, I warned you to be careful and not trip over yourself..."
Before Bai Wu could finish his sentence, Che Xiaoxiao, with a flushed face, angrily looked up and scolded, "Shut up, you jinx!"
"Alright, alright, I''ll shut up!"
Bai Wu muttered under his breath, "Really, it''s like a dog biting L¨¹ Dongbin, not recognizing a good heart!"
"Who are you calling a dog?" Che Xiaoxiao glared at him, demanding an explanation.If you come across this story on Amazon, it''s taken without permission from the author. Report it.
She looked as if she wouldn''t let it go until he explained himself!
"No one, no one." Bai Wu shivered and quickly shook his head.
At this moment.
Others around them started to notice the two.
"Sigh, young people these days~"
"The world is going downhill~"
"In broad daylight, they don''t know how to restrain themselves, really..."
"Such indecency!"
...
Whispers came from all directions.
"Ah!!!!"
"Ahem!"
"Should I let go of you?"
Che Xiaoxiao was stunned.
She looked down.
Which meant!
"What is this!?"
Che Xiaoxiao paused for a moment.
The next second.
She seemed to realize something.
Her eyes widened in shock and panic as she glanced at Bai Wu, "You, you... you!!!"
"Heh, heh heh..." Bai Wu gave her an awkward smile.
Without another word, Che Xiaoxiao quickly released her hands and feet, jumping off Bai Wu in a flash.
She glared at Bai Wu!
"Ahem, if there''s nothing else, I''ll be going?"
Bai Wu coughed awkwardly.
"No way! You''re not leaving, wait for me!" Che Xiaoxiao gritted her teeth.
Feeling the eyes watching from all around, Bai Wu took a deep breath, put on a friendly smile, and said, "Miss..."
"You''re the miss!!" Che Xiaoxiao retorted unhappily.
"What I mean is, you don''t need to thank me, really, you don''t. I just happened to be nearby and helped you when you were about to fall. You really don''t need to thank me. If you must know my name, just think of me as Lei Feng!"
Bai Wu said, taking out his phone and checking the time, "Oh, it''s getting late, I have things to do, gotta go, bye!!"
"Stop right there!"
Che Xiaoxiao shouted angrily.
Bai Wu ignored her.
"If you don''t stop, I''ll tell everyone what just happened!"
Before Che Xiaoxiao could finish her sentence, Bai Wu suddenly stopped.
He turned around, looking clueless, and scratched his head, "What happened just now?"
"You did that to me just now, and now you want to deny it!?" Che Xiaoxiao exaggeratedly questioned.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
Instantly.
Curious gazes from all around focused on them.
"I''m telling you, don''t try to slander me, I didn''t do anything! Prosperity, democracy, civilization, harmony..." Bai Wu began.
"You, you, you are such a person! You clearly took that thing just now..."
Seeing Che Xiaoxiao about to loudly reveal the embarrassing incident, Bai Wu quickly gave in, "Alright, alright, Aunt, I''ll call you Aunt, okay? What do you want, just say it!"
"Hmph, if you had given in earlier, you wouldn''t have wasted my time!"
Che Xiaoxiao snorted proudly and extended her cute, fair little hand, "Give me your phone!"
Can''t afford to provoke her.
Bai Wu obediently handed his phone to Che Xiaoxiao.
Che Xiaoxiao fiddled with it for a while, then casually tossed the phone back to Bai Wu.
"You''re lucky today, I have urgent matters to attend to. I''ll deal with you next time!"
With that, Che Xiaoxiao adjusted her large-frame glasses and hurriedly continued towards the Ancient Charm Pavilion.
Bai Wu opened his phone.
And saw a new friend added on his WeChat.
Remark: Big Brother.
Bai Wu was speechless.
Without hesitation, he changed the remark to Che Xiaoxiao.
Chapter 32
An Ominous Premonition [New Book, Please Add to Your Collection!]
[New Book, Please Add to Your Collection! Flowers! Votes! Rewards! Everything!! Waaah, mwah!]
Casually, Bai Wu habitually opened Che Xiaoxiao''s social media feed.
The first post.
"This post is hidden from all relatives! Oh no, oh no, oh no, friends, it''s an emergency! Last night, to play PUBG earlier, I accidentally put my grandpa''s favorite Tri-Color Camel Figurine on the shelf, and someone bought it for two hundred bucks!"
Below the text, there were nine pictures.
Hmm...
Eight of them were selfies in various poses!
The one in the center was the photo of the Tri-Color Camel Figurine.
"She has some nerve, selling a million-dollar antique for two hundred bucks, and still has time to take eight selfies for her feed..."
Bai Wu quipped, then quickly shook his head: "No, no, I think I should leave this place of trouble quickly. I have a feeling something bad will happen if I stay too long!"
100%!
Seeing the sudden appearance of the 100% percentage, Bai Wu didn''t hesitate and hurriedly left the Ancient Charm Pavilion.
He weaved through the streets.
Just as he reached the entrance of the free trading market, a familiar shout reached his ears.
Bai Wu turned his head and saw the familiar figure of the Fat Boss.
Bai Wu''s eyes lit up, and he walked over, greeting, "Hello, Boss Wang!"
"Young Man!"
Unauthorized duplication: this tale has been taken without consent. Report sightings.
The Fat Boss had a face full of awkward smiles and hope, and he asked, "Those seven porcelain pieces I just sold you, do you still have them?"
"There''s still six; I sold one while wandering around the market!" Bai Wu looked ''puzzled,'' "What''s up with those porcelain pieces, Boss Wang?"
"Nothing, nothing..."
The Fat Boss gave Bai Wu a deep look, then asked, "Young Man, do you know who you sold that porcelain to, and for how much?"
"I sold it to Che Yongkang at the Ancient Charm Pavilion!"
Bai Wu suddenly grinned and grabbed the Fat Boss''s hand, saying, "Actually, I really have to thank you, Boss Wang. If you hadn''t told me about the origins of those seven porcelain pieces, possibly being Tang Tri-Color Pottery, I wouldn''t have decided to go to the Ancient Charm Pavilion, and I wouldn''t have sold it for a good price!"
The Fat Boss swallowed hard, his eyes wide, trembling as he asked, "Y-young man, how much did you sell it for?"
Bai Wu ''honestly'' scratched his head and casually said, "Just nine million!"
As soon as he finished speaking.
The Fat Boss''s eyes widened like a pair of large ox eyes.
Then.
His whole body trembled.
He staggered back two steps.
As if struck by lightning.
"Nine, nine, nine... nine million..."
The Fat Boss''s eyes lost focus, and he suddenly lost all his dreams, feeling utterly deflated!
"Yeah!"
Bai Wu nodded seriously, "It was nine million. Old Gentleman Che directly transferred it to me, so I have to say, it''s all thanks to you, Boss Wang. If you hadn''t strongly invited me to check out your goods, I wouldn''t have become a millionaire overnight!"
Hearing Bai Wu''s words, the Fat Boss couldn''t help but cover his left side.
His face turned as black as charcoal.
Regret gnawed at him.
"Boss Wang, rest assured, I will definitely visit your stall again in the future! My parents always told me never to forget my roots. It''s you, Boss Wang, who made me who I am today. I will always remember your kindness!"
Bai Wu, full of determination and ''honesty,'' patted the Fat Boss''s shoulder and continued, "Ah, Boss Wang, let''s not talk about it anymore. I''m planning to take advantage of the nice weather to visit the car dealership and buy a car for fun! I''m off!"
"Take care..." The Fat Boss said with a bitter face.
"Old Wang~~~"
The owner of Stall No. 1 suddenly patted the Fat Boss''s shoulder and said, "Next time you bring goods back from the countryside, remember to notify me first. Give me a chance to strike it rich too!"
The Fat Boss''s face grew even darker.
...
At this moment.
Inside the Ancient Charm Pavilion.
Che Xiaoxiao was cautiously observing everyone in the trading hall.
She seemed to be trying to find the young man who, according to the Fat Boss, had spent fifty thousand to buy the Tri-Color Camel Figurine.
Just then.
Che Yongkang cheerfully came down from upstairs, and with an inadvertent glance, he noticed Che Xiaoxiao in the hall.
"Xiaoxiao, Xiaoxiao!"
Che Yongkang waved and called out to his granddaughter, Che Xiaoxiao.
"Oh no!"
Hearing Che Yongkang''s call, Che Xiaoxiao immediately tensed up: "No, no! Absolutely not! Grandpa must not find out. Che Xiaoxiao, act natural, you can do it!"
Che Xiaoxiao mentally prepared herself, turned to look at Che Yongkang, and smiled naturally, "Grandpa!"
"Xiaoxiao, how come you have time to visit Grandpa today?" Che Yongkang''s face was full of kindness.
"Um, well, this, that..."
Che Xiaoxiao was organizing her words, thinking about how to brush off Che Yongkang.
At this moment, Che Yongkang spoke again, "Xiaoxiao, come up, Grandpa just acquired something good!"
"Acquired something good..."
Che Xiaoxiao was stunned, and for some reason, an ominous premonition arose.
"No, no, it can''t be, it can''t be!"
Che Xiaoxiao quickly shook her head and followed Che Yongkang upstairs.
"Grandpa, what good thing is it?" Che Xiaoxiao asked, shrinking her head.
"You''ll see in a moment!" Che Yongkang smiled broadly, "This thing cost your grandpa nine million!"
"Nine million, could it be..."
Che Xiaoxiao felt something was about to go wrong.
They arrived at the top floor.
Che Yongkang entered a long string of codes, opened the safe, and then took out a delicate agarwood box.
Then.
Under Che Xiaoxiao''s despairing gaze, Che Yongkang slowly opened the lid of the box.
A delicate Tri-Color Camel Figurine appeared before the two of them.
Chapter 33
An Incident Occurred! [New Book, Please Add to Your Collection!]
[New Book, Please Add to Your Collection! Flowers! Votes! Tips! Everything! Waaah!]
Ancient Charm Pavilion, Top Floor.
A silence filled the air.
Che Yongkang gazed at the Tri-Color Camel Figurine inside the sandalwood box with a face full of admiration and appreciation.
Meanwhile, Che Xiaoxiao looked utterly confused and bewildered.
"Huh, huh... huh?!"
Her eyes widened.
Her cherry blossom lips parted.
Her delicate and adorable face was filled with despair.
"It''s over, it''s over, it''s over. Isn''t this the Tri-Color Camel Figurine I accidentally sold for two hundred bucks?! Ahhh! I came a step too late, ahhh!"
Che Xiaoxiao quietly took two steps back towards the stairs, seemingly planning to sneak away before her grandfather, Che Yongkang, noticed.
Even though her movements were small and light, Che Yongkang still noticed.
"Xiaoxiao, what''s wrong?" Che Yongkang adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses, reluctantly shifting his gaze from the Tri-Color Camel Figurine to Che Xiaoxiao, and asked in confusion.
"Nothing, hehe, nothing at all!" Che Xiaoxiao forced a ''calm'' smile.
"Why do I feel like you''re acting strange?"
Che Yongkang suspiciously glanced at Che Xiaoxiao.
Che Xiaoxiao tried hard to act as if nothing had happened.
"Forget it, forget it. Xiaoxiao, don''t you think this Tri-Color Camel Figurine looks familiar?"
As he spoke, Che Yongkang gently lifted the Tri-Color Camel Figurine and placed it on the table, picking up a magnifying glass to admire it with great interest.This narrative has been unlawfully taken from Royal Road. If you see it on Amazon, please report it.
"Ah, ah... yes, yes, it does look familiar, hehe, it really does look a bit familiar!"
Che Xiaoxiao covered her flushed face, awkwardly and reluctantly agreeing.
"It''s truly a masterpiece!"
Che Yongkang couldn''t help but marvel, "It''s a miracle that there are two such similar Tri-Color Camel Figurines from the Tang Dynasty in this world! Don''t you think so, Xiaoxiao?"
"Ah?" Che Xiaoxiao was taken aback.
"Xiaoxiao, you little girl, what''s wrong with you today? You''re so absent-minded. Haven''t you noticed? This Tri-Color Camel Figurine is exactly like the one I have at home!" Che Yongkang looked up, puzzled, and asked Che Xiaoxiao.
"Oh, oh... oh, yes, it really does look exactly the same!" Che Xiaoxiao tried hard to agree.
"Even though they look the same, there are still some subtle differences between the two Tri-Color Camel Figurines!"
Che Yongkang pointed to the eyes of the camel figurine and said, "This camel''s eyes are sharp and vivid, while the one at home is more restrained..."
Che Xiaoxiao: "..."
"Moreover, this one''s hump and limbs are larger and thicker than the one at home, so according to my guess, this camel figurine should be a male, and the one at home should be a female..."
Che Xiaoxiao: "..."
"After all this, it''s just my speculation. We''ll have to compare the two Tri-Color Camel Figurines side by side at home tonight to draw any conclusions about their differences..."
Che Xiaoxiao: "..."
"By the way, Xiaoxiao, where did you put the Tri-Color Camel Figurine at home last night..."
Before Che Yongkang could finish, Che Xiaoxiao suddenly started coughing violently: "Cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough!"
"What''s wrong? Do you have a cold?" Che Yongkang frowned slightly.
"Yes, yes, Grandpa, I''m not feeling well. I''m planning to go to the hospital now, so I''m leaving!"
With that, Che Xiaoxiao dashed out, as if her feet were greased, and ran downstairs without looking back.
Che Yongkang was left puzzled.
"This girl, she''s always in such a rush, so careless. With this personality, how will she ever get married? She looks so quiet!"
Che Yongkang shook his head, muttering, and then suddenly paused.
His brows furrowed deeply.
"Hiss¡ª"
Che Yongkang took a deep breath, "No, no, something''s really off with this girl today. I remember the last time she acted so strangely was when she was little and mischievously sold one of my treasured blue and white porcelain pieces as an ordinary one for ten bucks..."
As he spoke, Che Yongkang''s gaze involuntarily drifted to the Tri-Color Camel Figurine on the table.
His eyes grew deep.
One minute.
Two minutes.
Three minutes.
"Wait!"
Che Yongkang''s old eyes widened, and a wild and bold guess emerged.
With trembling hands, he picked up his phone and dialed a number.
Soon, the call connected.
"Hello, Dad, what''s up?"
"Zhiyuan, are you at home now?" Che Yongkang asked.
"Yes, Dad, is there something you need?"
"Can you check where my Tri-Color Camel Figurine was put by your precious daughter?"
"Okay, Dad, hold on, I''ll look for it!"
"¡"
One minute later.
"Hmm?"
Two minutes later.
"Huh?"
Three minutes later.
"Strange!"
Five minutes later.
"Hiss¡ª"
...
Ten minutes later.
"Hello, Dad, are you listening?"
"Did you find it?" Che Yongkang''s voice carried a hint of tremor.
"No, I searched the whole house, even checked our workshop, but I couldn''t find it. I have no idea where that girl hid the Tri-Color Camel Figurine! I''ll keep looking for you!"
"No need to look anymore!"
Che Yongkang looked at the Tri-Color Camel Figurine on the table, his face darkening, "I already know where it is!"
He hung up the phone.
Che Yongkang directly dialed Che Xiaoxiao''s number.
"Hello... hello?" Che Xiaoxiao''s weak voice came through, "Grandpa, what''s up? I''m at Grandma''s shop now..."
"Che Xiaoxiao, don''t think you can use your grandma as a shield and get away with it. Look at what you''ve done!"
Che Yongkang scolded, but before he could finish, another woman''s voice came from the other end of the line, "Old Man, why are you yelling? Do you think your loud voice scares my precious granddaughter?"
"No, I..."
"What do you mean no? You''re seventy or eighty, and you''re still throwing a tantrum at a child. Aren''t you ashamed? Besides, Xiaoxiao is only eighteen, so young. Even if she did something wrong, you can''t scold her. If you make my precious granddaughter cry, I won''t let you off!"
"¡"
Watching her grandmother scold her grandfather, Che Xiaoxiao weakly lowered her head.
A hint of pride appeared on her previously aggrieved face.
Chapter 34
Gay? [New Book, Please Add to Favorites!]
[New Book, Please Add to Favorites! Flowers! Votes! Tips! Everything! Wuwuwu!]
Waving his hand, Bai Wu walked out of the market under the regretful gaze of the Fat Boss.
He had just taken a few steps when a familiar figure approached him.
It was Di Qingqing.
Her face was pale.
She looked disheveled, angry, and unwilling.
Di Qingqing clenched her delicate fist, staring at Bai Wu as if he were a mortal enemy, and walked straight toward him.
"Damn, what''s Little Di up to? Could it be she hasn''t given up yet?"
100%!
"Why do I feel like this isn''t going to end well?"
100%!
"Is this girl here to cause trouble?"
100%
"Damn! A wise man doesn''t fight with women. If I can''t provoke her, I can at least avoid her! Can''t I just leave?"
Thinking of this, Bai Wu didn''t hesitate, turned around, and headed straight for another exit of the free trading market.
"Bai! Wu!"
Di Qingqing shouted loudly, not caring about her image.
Her voice and tone sounded extremely resentful, like a pitiful woman abandoned heartlessly after being toyed with by a man.Ensure your favorite authors get the support they deserve. Read this novel on the original website.
It was enough to make anyone who heard it want to cry.
Ahem, maybe not that exaggerated.
But Di Qingqing''s shout did attract the curious and puzzled gazes of everyone around.
"Oh my! Better slip away quickly!"
Bai Wu shivered all over, quickened his pace, and left without looking back.
"Stop right there!"
Di Qingqing shouted resentfully, running up aggressively and grabbing Bai Wu''s sleeve, holding on tightly.
"Hey, isn''t this Little Di? What''s up, is there something you need?"
Bai Wu sighed helplessly, turned around with a clueless expression, and asked.
"Do you really not know what''s going on?"
Di Qingqing said coldly, "Tell me, what did you do to her? What are you trying to do? What kind of spell did you cast on her? Why, why did you break up my two-year relationship with her? Tell me, why!"
"No reason, we just fell in love at first sight, mutual attraction!" Bai Wu shrugged.
"Stop lying! How could she possibly like a man? How could she fall in love at first sight with a man, mutual attraction?" Di Qingqing questioned.
With those words!
The whole place fell silent.
The atmosphere became awkward.
Even though Di Qingqing was using the female pronoun, Bai Wu knew she was referring to Mu Yi''er.
But!!!
The onlookers didn''t know that!
They quickly glanced at Bai Wu and Di Qingqing, and their imaginations ran wild.
"Whoa~ Fat Lord, I feel like there''s a lot of information here!"
In the crowd, the Fat Boss took a deep breath and sighed.
"Old Wang, what''s up, what did you see?" a regular asked curiously.
"Let me analyze it for you!"
The Fat Boss began to analyze seriously, "First of all, this is definitely a love triangle!"
"Old Wang, isn''t that obvious!"
"Yeah, everyone knows it''s a love triangle!"
"Stop, stop, stop, everyone listen to my analysis!"
The Fat Boss waved his hand, "If I''m not mistaken, the situation is like this: The young girl dated her boyfriend for two years, but then this young man named Bai Wu came along, and the girl''s boyfriend abandoned her to be with the young man..."
"Whoa~~~~~"
A gasp echoed over the free trading market.
The next second.
Everyone turned to look at Bai Wu and Di Qingqing.
"Sigh, young people these days, so disgraceful!"
"I thought this young man looked familiar, but you never know someone''s true nature!"
"Young girl, let it go, that kind of man isn''t worth your love!"
"......"
Listening to the sighs and accusations from all directions, Bai Wu''s face turned dark.
No, no.
I need to explain.
Otherwise, my reputation will be completely ruined by Little Di!
"Hey, hey, hey, no, friends, you''ve misunderstood, things aren''t what you think!" Bai Wu said awkwardly to the crowd.
"Bah!"
"Disgraceful!"
"The world is going downhill, people are losing their morals!"
"An explanation is just a cover-up, a cover-up is the truth, this young man is guilty!"
Bai Wu: "......"
At this moment, Di Qingqing''s eyes suddenly turned red.
Then.
With a "wah," she started crying on the spot.
"Wuwuwu~ Bai Wu, I''m begging you, please give her back to me, please, I can''t lose her, I really can''t lose her, I love her, I love her more than anything..."
Di Qingqing sobbed and pleaded with Bai Wu.
Watching Di Qingqing cry uncontrollably, Bai Wu felt a bit guilty.
But!
"Mu Yi''er is mine, and I will never let go!!!!"
Even though he had only known Mu Yi''er for a day.
But after spending such an intimate day together, Bai Wu realized he really liked this pure girl.
"Sorry!"
Bai Wu suddenly said coldly, "I won''t give up on her!"
"No! No! No! I don''t believe it, it must be you, it must be you, it''s her, isn''t it? Why are you doing this, wuwuwu~" Di Qingqing cried out in despair.
"You saw it yourself this morning, didn''t you?..."
Bai Wu''s words were cut off by Di Qingqing''s crying and screaming, "No, you''re lying! You''re lying! I don''t believe it! It was you, it was you, you must have said something sweet to her, it must be like this! I will expose you, I will expose your true nature, I will make her see your true face! She will definitely come back to me!".
Chapter 35
All In for Di Qingqing [New Book, Please Add to Favorites!]
[New Book, Please Add to Favorites! Flowers! Votes! Tips! Everything! Although novels are inherently unreasonable, there is a reason for Di Qingqing''s twisted love for Mu Yi''er.]
In a quiet alley.
Suddenly.
Two hurried footsteps broke the silence of the alley.
"I say, Little Di, what exactly are you trying to do!?"
Bai Wu, who was dragged into the alley by Di Qingqing, looked puzzled.
Di Qingqing took out her phone, gave Bai Wu a cold glance, and held up a finger. "One million!"
"Huh?" Bai Wu was taken aback.
"All men are the same. Aren''t you getting close to Sister Mu just for her money? Aren''t you just after Sister Mu?"
Di Qingqing''s face was full of disgust and coldness. "I can give you one million right now, but the condition is that you immediately delete all contact with Sister Mu and disappear from our lives!"
"How many times do I have to tell you that my feelings for Yi''er are genuine!" Bai Wu remained unmoved.
"Two million!" Di Qingqing raised the offer.
Bai Wu remained indifferent.
"Three million!"
"Di Qingqing, let it go. You and Yi''er won''t have a future!" Bai Wu shook his head, trying to persuade her.
"Five million!" Di Qingqing raised the offer without hesitation.
"Wow, five million without even blinking. Does this Little Di''s family own a mine?" Bai Wu couldn''t help but mutter to himself.If you stumble upon this narrative on Amazon, it''s taken without the author''s consent. Report it.
100%!
"No way, do they really own a mine?"
100%!
"Who cares if they do or not, making money is easy for me now, isn''t it?"
Bai Wu thought carefully and realized that with his superpowers, he could earn money as fast as a family with a mine.
Calculating it.
From yesterday afternoon to this morning, in less than a day, Bai Wu had already made over nine million.
And this was just the first day, with Bai Wu not yet fully familiar with using his superpowers.
For Bai Wu, there were plenty of ways to make big money.
At this moment, seeing Bai Wu''s silence, Di Qingqing''s face lit up with joy. "As long as you nod now, the five million is yours!"
"Di Qingqing, my relationship with Yi''er is truly not about money..."
Before Bai Wu could finish his sentence, Di Qingqing interrupted again with a higher offer: "Six million!"
"Let me finish..."
"Seven million!"
"Listen to me..."
"Eight million!"
"I said..."
"Ten million!"
"Enough!"
Interrupted by Di Qingqing several times, Bai Wu couldn''t hold back any longer and shouted, "Di Qingqing, let me tell you, first of all, I don''t need money!"
"Oh?" Di Qingqing gave Bai Wu a disdainful look. "Ha, men, even ten million isn''t enough for you? How much do you want? Just say it!"
"I said, Di Qingqing!"
Bai Wu said, "I don''t lack money! I really don''t lack money! To be honest, my income from yesterday afternoon to now is about ten million!"
Di Qingqing was stunned.
She lowered her head.
Suddenly fell silent.
Gradually.
Her fists clenched.
When she looked up again, her face was already streaked with tears.
"Sob, sob, sob, what do you want, just tell me, what do you want, as long as you give Sister Mu back to me, I''ll do anything, please, I''m begging you, I really can''t live without Sister Mu..." Di Qingqing choked and pleaded.
"Di Qingqing, if you truly love Yi''er, you should let go!"
Bai Wu advised earnestly, "I admit, no matter how I explain, I''m still an outsider, but you and Yi''er won''t have a future. Yi''er wants a happy family, and that''s something you can''t give her!"
"I..." Di Qingqing lowered her head, tears falling silently.
"Yi''er hopes her child will have a father in the future to protect them, and that''s something you can''t provide either!" Bai Wu continued.
"I..." Di Qingqing remained silent.
"This is the happiness Yi''er wants. Think it over carefully. Please don''t disturb Yi''er and me anymore. I will do my best to fulfill her happiness!"
After saying this, Bai Wu left the alley, heading out.
Di Qingqing stood alone, head down, lost in thought.
Just as Bai Wu was about to leave the alley.
Di Qingqing suddenly lifted her head.
Her tear-streaked face was filled with determination.
Her Delicate Fist clenched tightly.
"Sister Mu''s happiness..."
Di Qingqing muttered to herself, "Sister Mu, Qingqing understands now. Qingqing knows what to do. I will strive for your happiness, but I won''t leave you. I can do it!"
"Tap! Tap! Tap! Tap! Tap! Tap!"
Di Qingqing''s face was full of determination and madness.
She suddenly jogged, chasing after Bai Wu.
"Bai! Wu!" Di Qingqing shouted.
"What is it?"
Bai Wu turned his head in confusion.
Then.
He saw Di Qingqing running towards him.
"What the heck, what''s this girl up to now?" Bai Wu was stunned.
The next second.
Di Qingqing had already reached Bai Wu.
She reached out and pushed Bai Wu against the wall of the alley.
"What? I actually got pushed by this Little Di?"
100%!
"What is this girl trying to do?"
While Bai Wu was still in a daze, Di Qingqing suddenly looked up, staring deeply at Bai Wu.
Her face full of determination.
"I can do it!" Di Qingqing muttered.
"What?" Bai Wu was utterly confused.
"What the heck! What the heck! What the heck! What the heck!"
Bai Wu''s eyes widened. "What''s going on here!?"
After hesitating for two or three seconds, Bai Wu quickly pushed Di Qingqing away, exclaiming, "Di Qingqing, what are you doing, are you crazy?"
"Gag... Gag... Huff..."

A Story [New Book, Please Add to Your Collection!]
[New Book, Please Add to Your Collection! Flowers! Votes! Tips! I originally planned for Di Qingqing''s story to be told later through Mu Yi''er, but after discussing with a few readers who added me as a friend, I decided to bring it forward!]
"Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop!"
Bai Wu crossed his arms tightly over his chest, looking like a bewildered young woman, full of confusion and vigilance.
"What kind of mischief is Little Di up to again? What''s going on? What the heck? Could she be plotting something?"
As soon as the thought crossed his mind, a percentage appeared before Bai Wu''s eyes: 0%!
0%!
"What the heck, damn it!"
Bai Wu was a bit flustered.
He still felt a bit uneasy.
To be honest.
Bai Wu thought he might actually be falling for Mu Yi''er.
Although a large part of it was because of her stunning looks and perfect figure.
But there was also a small part of it because of Mu Yi''er''s innocence and her determination to change and overcome herself.
Bai Wu was quite satisfied with his current life.
He had money, a gentle and understanding girlfriend, what more could he want?
So, Bai Wu really didn''t want Di Qingqing to affect him.If you find this story on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen. Please report the infringement.
...
The percentage before Bai Wu''s eyes was still 0%.
"Strange, what exactly is Di Qingqing trying to do?"
Bai Wu really couldn''t figure it out.
Wait!
Hold on!
I will restrain myself!
I can do it!
I will adapt!
"Why do these words sound so familiar? Have I heard them somewhere before?"
100%!
"Damn, I remember now!"
Bai Wu''s eyes widened suddenly, "If I remember correctly, Yi''er said something like this too!"
Bai Wu glanced at the stubborn-faced Di Qingqing, and a terrifying and bold idea emerged: "Could it be that Little Di wants to be with Yi''er and also wants Yi''er to have the happiness she desires, by adapting to my presence?"
100%!
"Damn!"
Bai Wu shivered all over, looking at Di Qingqing with trembling eyes, "I say, Little Di, what''s going on in your mind? Please don''t do anything rash!"
"I can''t lose Sister Mu, I absolutely can''t lose Sister Mu!"
Di Qingqing''s face was full of determination: "As long as I can continue living with Sister Mu, I''m willing to pay any price, even if..."
"Di Qingqing, you''re really crazy!"
Bai Wu found it really hard to understand Di Qingqing''s thinking.
Di Qingqing said calmly, "Bai Wu, we!"
"You''re really crazy!" Bai Wu couldn''t help but shout.
"I''m not crazy!" Di Qingqing said rationally.
100%!
"I... sigh..."
Bai Wu suddenly didn''t know what to say.
"You really don''t need to be so troubled!"
Di Qingqing suddenly spoke up, "In my opinion, this is just a transaction!"
"Transaction?" Bai Wu squinted his eyes.
"That''s right."
"You''re crazy!" Bai Wu said with certainty, "Di Qingqing is definitely crazy, isn''t she?"
0%!
"I''m not crazy!"
Di Qingqing said firmly, "I said, for Sister Mu, I can give up everything!"
"Di Qingqing, what are you thinking? From what you said, you''ve only known Yi''er for two years, and been in love for two years, why would you go to such lengths for Yi''er?" Bai Wu really couldn''t understand, no matter how he thought about it.
Di Qingqing lowered her head, silent.
One minute.
Two minutes.
Three minutes.
After a full three minutes, she finally raised her head and said softly, "Would you like to hear a story?"
"Hmm?" Bai Wu hummed softly.
"Two years ago, there was a girl who had just graduated high school. During the summer vacation, she suddenly had the idea of traveling alone to the mountains. The girl acted on her impulse, packed a few changes of clothes, and took a taxi to the nearby Woniu Mountain..."
"Coincidentally, at the foot of Woniu Mountain, the girl met another girl who was also there to hike, and the two decided to climb the mountain together..."
"As a result, not long after they entered the mountain, they encountered a fugitive with seven or eight lives on his hands. The two girls were taken hostage by the fugitive and dragged deep into the mountains..."
"During this time, the older sister kept comforting and protecting the younger sister. Whenever the younger sister made a mistake that angered the fugitive and was about to be beaten, the older sister would use her body to shield the younger sister from the branches and sticks aimed at her..."
"In the days they were held hostage, because the police were always on their trail, they never stopped to rest for more than an hour. When the younger sister couldn''t run anymore, the older sister would endure her fatigue and carry her..."
"Gradually..."
"Finally, three days later, the police discovered the fugitive and the sisters'' location. The sisters took the opportunity to escape while the fugitive was negotiating with the police..."
"As a result, the unreliable younger sister inexplicably tripped and screamed, alerting the fugitive..."
"The fugitive shot at the younger sister..."
"The older sister rushed over, using her body to block the bullet that was originally aimed at the younger sister''s heart!"
"..."
Chapter 37
Heh, Men [New Book, Please Add to Favorites!]
[New Book, Please Add to Favorites! Flowers! Votes! Rewards! Wuwuwu!]
"From that moment on, the little sister''s heart no longer belonged to herself. Her heart belonged to the sister who cared for and protected her all the way, and finally used her body to shield her from a bullet!"
Di Qingqing''s tone was calm. If Bai Wu hadn''t seen the tears continuously falling from her eyes, he might have thought it was just a story!
"Now, do you understand?"
Di Qingqing reached out to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes, her face full of determination.
"That sister is Yi''er, and that little sister is you?" Bai Wu asked.
Di Qingqing gave a slight, ambiguous smile.
"It''s really mind-boggling!"
Bai Wu glanced at Di Qingqing and sighed.
After hearing this story, Bai Wu finally understood why Di Qingqing would say such crazy things.
"Mind-boggling, really..."
Bai Wu knocked on his head, muttering to himself, "What''s the success rate of persuading Di Qingqing to change her mind?"
The tale has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation.
0%!
"At least give me a 1%, even 0.1%, or 0.01% would work. At least there''s a chance of success..."
Bai Wu couldn''t help but complain, "What''s the chance of Di Qingqing''s feelings for Mu Yi''er fading over time?"
"9.34%!"
"What about in a month''s time?"
0%!
"Five months?"
0%!
"A year?"
0%!
"Two years?"
0%!
...
"Fifty years?"
0.1%!
"A hundred years?"
0%!
"Why did it become 0% after a hundred years?"
Bai Wu was stunned, thought carefully, and then sighed, "Well, after a hundred years, we''ll all be dust and ashes..."
While Bai Wu was troubled by Di Qingqing, after recalling the life-and-death experience with Mu Yi''er two years ago, Di Qingqing''s gaze became even more resolute.
"I! Can! Do! It!"
Di Qingqing clenched her delicate fist, encouraging herself, then looked up at Bai Wu.
One second.
Two seconds.
Three seconds.
After hesitating for a few seconds, Di Qingqing suddenly reached out and grabbed Bai Wu''s wrist.
"What are you doing!?" Bai Wu exclaimed.
"Wait, wait, wait, wait!"
Bai Wu quickly shook off Di Qingqing''s hand and, under her puzzled gaze, said, "I say, Little Di, calm down a bit first..."
Before Bai Wu could finish, Di Qingqing''s questioning voice suddenly rang out: "Am I not beautiful?"
Bai Wu was taken aback.
He discreetly glanced at Di Qingqing.
Even though Di Qingqing''s eyes were red from crying, her face was tear-streaked, and her hair was a bit messy, in Bai Wu''s eyes, she was still a beauty scoring above 93.
"Bea-beautiful, of course you''re beautiful, but..."
"Al-alright..." Bai Wu swallowed and nodded.
"I..."
Bai Wu was suddenly at a loss for words.
To be honest!
A girl like Di Qingqing, out in the world, would absolutely outshine those big stars and starlets on TV.
Even though those big stars and starlets have looks around 90 points.
But!
Who knows how much makeup they''ve put on, how thick it is, and every beautiful picture is meticulously photoshopped.
And the Di Qingqing in front of him was completely bare-faced!
I mean.
"Then let''s go!" Di Qingqing dragged Bai Wu, intending to walk out of the alley.
"Wait, wait a minute, I say, Little Di, don''t rush, let me finish, can you? Do you really have to be in such a hurry?"
Bai Wu was truly at his wit''s end with Di Qingqing.
"What do you want to say, say it!" Di Qingqing turned her head.
"I don''t know anything about you..."
Once again, Bai Wu''s words were interrupted by Di Qingqing: "Didn''t you admit it yourself? Why do you need to know all those unnecessary things?"
"Alright, alright!"
"I trust Sister Mu''s judgment!" Di Qingqing answered seriously.
"Huh? What''s this got to do with Yi''er?" Bai Wu was completely confused.
Bai Wu: "..."
"Besides, men, none of them are good! Don''t be fooled by how loving you and Sister Mu seem..."
Bai Wu: "..."
Chapter 38
What Is This? [New Book, Please Add to Favorites!]
[New Book, Please Add to Favorites! Please Give Flowers! Please Vote! Please Reward! Please Everything! Ahem, caught a cold.]
Damn it, messing around outside!
Bai Wu''s face was full of exasperation as he retorted, "Touch your heart and tell me, do I look like that kind of person?"
100%!
"Aren''t you?" Di Qingqing raised her eyes, full of disdain. "Men are all hypocrites."
"Ahem, ahem..."
Bai Wu coughed awkwardly, his momentum slightly weakened, and explained, "Not all men are hypocrites. There are still some good men..."
"At least you''re not one of them!" Di Qingqing said coldly.
Bai Wu: "..."
Whenever Di Qingqing mentioned her father, her delicate face became even colder.
Bai Wu had a new suspicion in his heart.
"Could it be that Di Qingqing''s twisted affection for Yi''er and her aversion to men are partly due to her father''s issues?"
100%!
"Indeed..."If you stumble upon this narrative on Amazon, it''s taken without the author''s consent. Report it.
Bai Wu looked at Di Qingqing with a hint of pity in his eyes.
"Wait a minute!"
"There''s nothing to wait for!"
"I said, wait a minute!"
Bai Wu suddenly waved his hand and then pinned Di Qingqing against the alley wall.
"Are you planning to do it here?"
Di Qingqing''s pretty face suddenly turned extremely pale.
Damn it, planning to do it here!
Do I look like that kind of person?
What on earth is going on in this little girl''s head?
Bai Wu was speechless.
Although this alley was quite secluded, just three or four meters away was the bustling antique market.
Even if Bai Wu were a pervert, he wouldn''t want to do something so indecent in such a place!
What if someone walked in? Wouldn''t it be over?
"If... if you really want to do it here..."
Di Qingqing bit her lip, her face pale, and whispered tremblingly, "It''s not impossible, but can we move a bit further into the alley, I..."
"Don''t worry!"
Bai Wu''s left hand suddenly rested on Di Qingqing''s head, gently stroking her hair, and said as gently as possible, "I won''t do anything to you!"
Di Qingqing''s whole body stiffened, her delicate fist clenched, eyes shut tight, trembling as she said, "I was wrong, I shouldn''t have bargained, let''s just do it here..."
Bai Wu''s face was full of pity, and he suddenly stopped all his actions, and the alley fell silent.
"Thump, thump, thump, thump!"
The sound of Di Qingqing''s heartbeat pounded in Bai Wu''s ears.
One second.
Ten seconds.
Thirty seconds.
One minute.
Two minutes.
...
No one knew how long it took, but Di Qingqing''s heartbeat gradually slowed down.
She slowly opened her eyes, meeting Bai Wu''s deep gaze.
"What... what exactly do you want?" Di Qingqing asked.
"Don''t worry!"
"Then..."
"Listen to me first!"
Bai Wu didn''t give Di Qingqing a chance to speak and continued, "But you''re still young and don''t understand the seriousness of the situation..."
Di Qingqing''s face was expressionless.
"Sigh, as expected, persuading Di Qingqing to change her mind is impossible!"
Seeing Di Qingqing''s unaffected face, Bai Wu sighed inwardly, but at the same time, a strange excitement arose within him.
"Forget it, I''ll just tell you directly!"
Bai Wu suddenly said coldly, "Your current state doesn''t attract me at all!"
"What do you mean?" Di Qingqing asked coldly.
"I''m alive!" Di Qingqing retorted.
"To me, there''s no difference between you and the dead!" Bai Wu said coldly, "In this state, how are you different from a corpse?"
"I..." Di Qingqing bit her lower lip tightly, her face devoid of color.
Then.
Tears suddenly fell.
"You... sob, sob, what do you want from me?" Di Qingqing choked.
"Didn''t you say it yourself?"
"Adapt..."
Di Qingqing muttered to herself, her confused gaze gradually becoming clear and determined.
"I understand now!"
Di Qingqing clenched her delicate fist, murmuring.
Suddenly, she stood on tiptoe.
Di Qingqing''s face was pale, her brows furrowed, fists clenched, enduring discomfort for a while, and after regaining her composure, she looked up, her face full of determination, and said, "For Sister Mu, I will adapt!"
Chapter 39
Bus Encounter [New Book, Please Add to Favorites!]
[Requesting Flowers! Favorites! Tips! Votes! Everything!]
"That girl Di Qingqing, she''ll do anything for Yi''er!"
At first.
But.
After time and again.
Di Qingqing gradually got used to it.
Not only that.
But also.
Di Qingqing revealed a big secret to Bai Wu!
Which means.
The reason he hadn''t noticed was simple.
Although Mu Yi''er said she was fine, she still couldn''t quite get used to Bai Wu''s presence.
As for why Di Qingqing adapted so quickly...
"Must be my irresistible charm, right?"
0%!
"Ahem!"
Support the author by searching for the original publication of this novel.
Bai Wu almost choked on his own saliva. "I mean, you''re my superpower, can''t you give me some face? Is my dignity worth nothing?"
0%!
100%!
"Sure enough! That girl Di Qingqing seems to be deeply in it, sigh, it''s really a headache..."
Bai Wu thought this, but his face showed a look of enjoyment.
Men, they say one thing but mean another!
...
"Welcome aboard bus K221. This bus is traveling from Hang City North Bus Station to the Auto Trade City. The bus is starting, please sit tight and hold on. Next stop, International Impression City. Passengers getting off, please prepare in advance to avoid missing your stop..."
That''s right.
Now that he had money, Bai Wu planned to buy a car first.
With money, you should enjoy life in time!
What''s the point of saving money and not spending it?
...
This bus, as it passed through the bustling city, had quite a few passengers.
Fortunately, Bai Wu got on early and snagged a seat in the back row.
The vehicle moved.
"Hmm?"
Bai Wu suddenly noticed a familiar figure. "Isn''t that the spendthrift woman? What''s she doing on this bus!"
In the standing area in front of Bai Wu''s seat.
Che Xiaoxiao leaned against the pole, looking up at the bus route map, eyes wide, face full of confusion, muttering something to herself.
Bai Wu silently opened his phone, found Che Xiaoxiao''s WeChat, and then directly opened her Moments.
Che Xiaoxiao had updated two posts.
The first one.
"(This post is hidden from all relatives) Humph, it was just an accidental sale of a not-so-valuable porcelain piece, and Grandpa still wants to scold me. Luckily, Grandpa has asthma, with Grandma around, I''m not afraid at all!"
Below were nine selfies in various poses and gestures.
"Damn it, not-so-valuable porcelain, that was nine million yuan, nine million with no dignity? Truly a spendthrift woman..."
Seeing Che Xiaoxiao''s post, Bai Wu couldn''t help but complain in his heart.
The second post.
"Wow, Che Xiaoxiao, you''re so stupid! Forgetting where you parked the car is one thing, but why didn''t you just take a cab? Why squeeze into a bus? It''s one thing if you had a seat, but not only is there no seat, it''s crowded, and you even took the wrong direction!"
Bai Wu read Che Xiaoxiao''s post with a blank expression.
Che Xiaoxiao was a big scatterbrain, and Bai Wu had long felt this way.
After all, she was a woman who could trip over her own feet.
The bus continued forward.
At one stop.
A few people got off, and a few more got on.
Inside the bus, it was still bustling.
Suddenly.
A man in a black trench coat, with a sharp face and shifty eyes, entered Bai Wu''s sight.
After getting on the bus, the man quickly scanned the interior.
Then his eyes lit up, and he discreetly moved towards Che Xiaoxiao''s position.
He stopped beside Che Xiaoxiao.
His body swayed naturally with the movement of the bus.
Although his gaze wasn''t fixed on Che Xiaoxiao, it occasionally swept over her with ill intent.
Bai Wu''s brow furrowed slightly.
"Shifty eyes, this guy can''t be up to any good, right?"
100%!
"Could this guy be a thief?"
50%!
"50%? What does that mean?"
Bai Wu was puzzled. "Could it be he''s not just a thief?"
100%!
"Could he also be a fugitive?"
Having just heard Di Qingqing and Mu Yi''er''s story, Bai Wu couldn''t help but think.
0%!
"Could he be a bus pervert?"
100%!
Chapter 40
Che Xiaoxiao the Fierce [New Book, Please Add to Favorites!]
[New Book, Please Add to Favorites! Flowers! Votes! Tips!]
"No way!"
Bai Wu felt it was necessary to remind Che Xiaoxiao.
Firstly, the reason he was able to earn nine million yuan was thanks to her.
If Che Xiaoxiao hadn''t casually placed that Tri-Color Camel Figurine on the shelf to finish her game of PUBG sooner, none of this would have happened!
Secondly, it was Bai Wu''s sense of responsibility!
As a model young citizen of the new era, how could Bai Wu tolerate a societal scumbag committing illegal acts right in front of him?
And then.
Bai Wu couldn''t bear to see a young girl fall victim to a pervert!
Lastly, and the most insignificant point of all.
Che Xiaoxiao was a stunning beauty with a score of 94!
...
Bai Wu thought for a moment, picked up his phone, composed a message, and sent it to Che Xiaoxiao.
"Hey girl, be careful. That shifty-looking guy next to you doesn''t seem like a good person. He''s been staring at you for a while!"
If you stumble upon this narrative on Amazon, it''s taken without the author''s consent. Report it.
A few seconds after the message was sent, Che Xiaoxiao, who was engrossed in her phone not far away, suddenly looked up.
Bai Wu clearly noticed.
At the moment Che Xiaoxiao looked up, the shifty-looking guy standing next to her shivered in fear.
Che Xiaoxiao glanced around and finally locked eyes with Bai Wu, who was sitting in the third-to-last row of the bus.
Bai Wu smiled and waved at her in greeting.
Che Xiaoxiao mouthed something to Bai Wu.
Even though Bai Wu hadn''t learned lip-reading, Che Xiaoxiao spoke slowly and exaggerated her mouth movements, so Bai Wu immediately understood what she was saying.
"Why is it you again, you damn jinx!"
Bai Wu''s face instantly darkened.
Damn it!
Good intentions mistaken for malice!
Bai Wu lowered his head, gripped his phone, and sent a message to Che Xiaoxiao.
"A dog bites L¨¹ Dongbin, not recognizing a good person. If you weren''t a beauty, I wouldn''t have bothered to warn you!"
"No no no no no... wrong, wrong..."
"You''re flat anyway, I don''t even need to hammer you!"
"Look at this flat chest, as flat as a runway, tsk..."
Bai Wu sent five consecutive messages to Che Xiaoxiao.
After sending the messages, he turned off his phone.
He looked up, facing Che Xiaoxiao''s furious gaze that seemed like she wanted to grab a 40-meter-long sword and chop him to pieces. He inhaled, exhaled, and felt completely refreshed.
"You! Just! Wait!"
Che Xiaoxiao mouthed fiercely at Bai Wu, then angrily lowered her head.
The bus continued to drive.
A minute or two later.
Finally.
The shifty-looking guy couldn''t hold back any longer.
Taking advantage of the bus turning, he moved two steps closer to Che Xiaoxiao, and one of his hands even landed on her shoulder.
Che Xiaoxiao looked up at him.
"Sorry, sorry, I lost my balance..." the shifty-looking guy apologized sincerely.
"Oh!"
Che Xiaoxiao lowered her head again, seemingly not doubting the shifty-looking guy''s explanation at all.
"Sigh, I just can''t stand this kind of thing!"
Bai Wu shook his head, sighing inwardly.
He was about to stand up and stop the shifty-looking guy before he could do anything more excessive.
At that moment.
The bus seemed to hit a bumpy spot.
The shifty-looking guy suddenly grinned menacingly.
"Hey!!!"
Bai Wu hurriedly shouted.
But before he could say another word.
Suddenly.
Almost simultaneously.
Che Xiaoxiao kicked back with her right foot.
"Hiss~~~" Bai Wu took a deep breath.
But that wasn''t the end!
Che Xiaoxiao used both hands forcefully.
A shoulder throw.
Directly slammed the shifty-looking guy to the ground.
Everything happened in an instant!
"Aaaaaahhhhhhh!"
Only then did the shifty-looking guy let out a heart-wrenching scream that could make anyone tear up.
"What happened?"
"What''s going on?"
"What happened?"
The other passengers on the bus were puzzled.
Che Xiaoxiao licked her lips at Bai Wu, giving him a meaningful smile.
Then.
Her expression suddenly changed.
She put on the look of a bullied damsel in distress.
Frantically, she lifted her foot.
And kicked the wailing shifty-looking guy a few times.
Bai Wu shrank back, unable to resist inwardly complaining.
Chapter 41
Little Aunt, I Was Wrong [New Book, Please Add to Favorites!]
[New Book, Please Add to Favorites! Flowers! Votes! Tips! After resting for two days, my cold is almost gone. Tomorrow I''ll send the express mail, and once the contract is signed, there will be four updates every day!]
I have to say!
Che Xiaoxiao originally had the appearance of an innocent schoolgirl who hadn''t yet stepped into the big dye vat of society. Now, she was putting on such a pitiful look that the passengers on the bus were all filled with righteous indignation, scolding and sighing at the man with the sharp face.
At this moment, they seemed to have completely forgotten the burst of strength that had just erupted from Che Xiaoxiao''s petite body!
In Bai Wu''s eyes.
The man with the sharp face seemed more like a victim than Che Xiaoxiao.
"Hiss~"
Thinking of this, Bai Wu couldn''t help but shiver.
Just then.
Che Xiaoxiao''s gaze suddenly turned towards Bai Wu.
On her pitiful little face, a meaningful smile appeared.
"Can''t afford to mess with her¡"
"Young man, what''s wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?" The old man sitting next to Bai Wu asked loudly, puzzled.
Swish swish swish.
If you come across this story on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen from Royal Road. Please report it.
Everyone looked over in confusion.
"No, no problem¡" Bai Wu forced a smile.
"Young man, this won''t do. You''re trembling, and you look so pale¡"
The old man paused suddenly, then stared deeply at Bai Wu for a while, sighing, "Ah¡ young people these days, they just don''t know moderation. Young man, you look about twenty, how can you be so weak¡"
Damn moderation!
Damn weakness!
I''m just scared, okay?
"No, it''s not that, sir, I¡"
Bai Wu hurriedly tried to explain, but the old man suddenly patted Bai Wu''s shoulder and said, "Ah, young man, listen to my advice, take it easy, go buy something to eat¡"
As soon as the words "kidney tonic" were mentioned.
Instantly.
The passengers on the bus all showed expressions of realization.
Whispering, shaking their heads in pity, their gazes dispersed.
Bai Wu''s face was full of black lines.
The bus continued on.
The man with the sharp face staggered off at the next stop, clutching his lower body in distress, and fled in panic.
"Ding dong!"
"Ding dong!"
"Ding dong!"
Suddenly, a series of message notifications sounded.
Bai Wu picked up his phone to see.
It was a WeChat message from Che Xiaoxiao.
"(Smile)"
Bai Wu''s face went stiff.
He looked up at Che Xiaoxiao.
Che Xiaoxiao tilted her head, squinted her eyes, and gave Bai Wu a slight smile.
That smile!
Was so¡
Hmm¡
Provided the incident with the sharp-faced man hadn''t happened.
"Oh my god, why did I have to act rashly just now!"
The ideal is beautiful, but reality is cruel.
Seeing the 0% in front of him, Bai Wu instantly chickened out.
"The bus is about to arrive at the stop, Auto Trade City, passengers who need to get off, please prepare in advance¡"
Hearing the announcement, Bai Wu''s eyes lit up.
"If I can''t afford to mess with her, can''t I at least avoid her?"
Bai Wu muttered, finding himself a grand excuse: "As the saying goes, a wise man doesn''t fight when the odds are against him. I''m a big man, why bother arguing with a little girl? Forget it, forget it, take a step back and the world is wide open. If I make the little girl cry, that wouldn''t be good!"
Heaven knows!
"I''m definitely not backing down because I''m afraid of this violent girl!"
Bai Wu secretly encouraged himself.
The bus came to a steady stop.
Without thinking twice, Bai Wu got off the bus immediately.
"Whew~ Finally got away from that troublesome girl!"
Bai Wu stretched, breathing in the fresh air, and couldn''t help but sigh.
"Troublesome girl? Hmm? Who''s the troublesome girl?" A voice full of curiosity came from behind.
"Ah, that, I was talking about the bus just now¡"
Bai Wu turned his head while speaking, but his voice suddenly stopped.
Because¡
What appeared in Bai Wu''s sight.
Was a face full of murderous intent.
It was none other than Che Xiaoxiao!
"Heh, heh heh¡" Bai Wu couldn''t help but tighten his legs, laughing awkwardly.
"Tap tap tap tap!"
Che Xiaoxiao flexed her wrist joints, full of amusement, "Hmm, what happened on the bus?"
"Nothing, nothing!" Bai Wu shook his head firmly.
"Heh heh!" Che Xiaoxiao''s face was full of malice.
"Ah, right, beautiful lady, I just remembered I have something urgent to do, let''s chat later!"
After saying that, Bai Wu turned and headed towards the Auto Trade City without another word.
Can''t afford to mess with her, really can''t afford to mess with her!.

Che Xiaoxiao watched Bai Wu''s departing figure and tilted her head slightly.
Then.
A mischievous smile appeared on her delicate and cute face.
She took a step.
And followed Bai Wu''s pace.
After walking for a short while.
"Phew, I should have shaken off that violent spendthrift woman by now, right?"
0%!
"Damn! What the hell!"
Bai Wu shuddered all over, glancing sideways behind him.
Instantly.
His face was full of black lines.
Because he saw Che Xiaoxiao following him closely, about two meters behind.
"Goodness! What does this violent, clueless spendthrift woman want? Is she planning to do something to me too?"
Bai Wu couldn''t help but recall the painful experience of the sharp-faced man on the bus, shuddered again, and quickened his pace!
One minute.
Two minutes.
Three minutes.
...
Five or six minutes later.
Bai Wu couldn''t hold it in anymore.Stolen content alert: this content belongs on Royal Road. Report any occurrences.
He turned his head and said, "Aunt, I was wrong, I was wrong, okay? I shouldn''t have said that about you! Please spare me for a while!"
"Oh!" Che Xiaoxiao nodded and continued to follow Bai Wu.
"Listen, Comrade Che Xiaoxiao, I''m telling you, don''t go too far. I''ve already apologized, what more do you want?" Bai Wu stopped and asked.
"I don''t want anything!" Che Xiaoxiao shrugged.
"Then why are you following me!?" Bai Wu asked.
"Is this road your family''s? Why can''t I walk on this road?" Che Xiaoxiao asked disdainfully.
Bai Wu was left speechless.
He took a deep breath and quickened his pace again.
As they got closer to the Auto Trade City, more and more pedestrians appeared on the road.
"Strange, why is the Auto Trade City so lively today?"
Bai Wu was full of confusion, "But the more people, the better. With more people, maybe I can shake off that clingy follower behind me! Seriously, just because I said something about her, does she have to hold a grudge like this? So petty, so calculating, acting like an unreasonable woman!"
"No, no, she really is a woman!"
Bai Wu quickly shook his head, "Ha, women!"
He quickened his pace, heading towards the area with the most people.
Che Xiaoxiao still followed closely.
A few minutes later.
"Phew~ So there''s a car show going on!"
Seeing the female car models posing in front of luxury cars, Bai Wu suddenly realized.
Unlike those men admiring the luxury cars (female car models), Bai Wu just casually glanced at these luxury cars (female car models) and then looked away!
Indeed.
To become a car model, one generally has to have a beauty and figure above 85 points.
However.
These car models couldn''t compare to Mu Yi''er at all.
After all.
Mu Yi''er''s beauty and figure were both above 95 points!
A full ten points difference!
With Mu Yi''er, how could Bai Wu be interested in these female car models of unknown quality?
Bai Wu carefully recalled the few women he had encountered in the past two days who scored above 90 points.
"Mu Yi''er, Di Qingqing, Che Xiaoxiao, Wu Xiaoxiao..."
Bai Wu suddenly remembered the naturally silly Wu Xiaoxiao and couldn''t help but complain, "Wu Xiaoxiao, Che Xiaoxiao, are names so casually chosen these days? If I have a daughter in the future, should I call her Bai Xiaoxiao? Hmm, that actually sounds quite nice..."
"But for now, the urgent task is to deal with that violent follower behind me and then buy a car to go home!"
Bai Wu felt that this couldn''t go on.
"What if she suddenly finds out that her grandfather was the one who spent nine million yuan to buy the Tri-Color Camel Figurine she sold for two hundred yuan..."
Bai Wu shuddered all over again.
He scanned the entire venue, his eyes rolling, and suddenly had an idea.
That was to use the situation to his advantage!
Bai Wu suddenly stopped, turned around, and looked at Che Xiaoxiao behind him with a helpless expression, shouting, "I say, can you stop following me!"
So.
As soon as she entered the car show venue, she had already attracted countless people''s attention.
As soon as Bai Wu said this.
Instantly.
Swish, swish, swish!
Everyone openly looked over.
Curiosity.
Confusion.
Jealousy.
...
And so on.
"I''m not following you!" Che Xiaoxiao said seriously.
"Alright, you said it!!"
Bai Wu said, continuing to walk forward.
Che Xiaoxiao hesitated for a second and followed again.
"Is this what you call not following me?" Bai Wu stopped and asked irritably.
"Did your family build this road? Why can''t I walk on this road?" Che Xiaoxiao snorted.
The two stared at each other.
"What''s going on?"
"What''s up with this young man and young lady?"
"I''m not sure, but it seems like the young lady has been following the young man!"
"I can testify! The young lady has been following him from outside the car show to here, for almost ten minutes!"
"Hiss~ Why?"
"I think they might be a couple, and the young man sneaked off to see the car show, only to be caught by the young lady..." a chubby onlooker analyzed.
"This young man is something else. If I had a girlfriend like that, I wouldn''t bother with a car show."
"Not appreciating what he has, these young people nowadays!"
The discussion was lively.
"Ugh, damn it! A couple? This isn''t the outcome I wanted!"
Hearing these discussions, Bai Wu was so angry he almost spat blood, "No, no, this can''t go on!"
Bai Wu muttered, suddenly shouting at Che Xiaoxiao, "I say, we don''t even know each other, why are you following me? I already have a family, I really love, really love my girlfriend, please stop bothering me, okay?"
"Hmm? What''s going on, aren''t the young man and young lady a couple?"
Everyone was suddenly puzzled.
Chapter 43

[New Book, Please Add to Your Collection! Flowers! Votes! Rewards! Everything!]
Inside the car exhibition hall.
Bai Wu and Che Xiaoxiao were staring at each other.
Around them.
More and more people were looking over at the two of them.
Half of them were curious, the other half puzzled.
"What¡¯s going on, what''s going on, brother, what happened?"
"I heard it''s a couple arguing! The guy sneaked out to see the car models¡ªno, no, to see the car show and got caught by his girlfriend!"
"Ah, you guys know nothing, so stop spreading rumors!"
"It doesn''t seem like a couple''s quarrel. This young man doesn''t seem to know this young lady, but she''s been following him!"
"Is that so? This young lady is so pretty. I wish I were that young man!"
"What do you know? The young man said he has a girlfriend and he loves her very much!"
"Hiss~ What''s the situation? Could it be that this young lady wants to interfere?"
"Looks like we misunderstood the young man. Even though this young lady is a bit plain, she''s definitely a beauty, and she looks so pure. Yet, this young man can still keep her at a distance!"This book''s true home is on another platform. Check it out there for the real experience.
"It seems this young man truly loves his girlfriend!"
...
Sounds of sighs and discussions came from all directions.
The situation was gradually evolving into what Bai Wu hoped for.
Che Xiaoxiao''s face was turning darker.
She glared fiercely at Bai Wu.
Bai Wu maintained a righteous look, but inside he was smug: "Little girl, you think you can compete with me? Not a chance, you''re still too green!"
At this moment, Che Xiaoxiao suddenly raised her eyebrows at Bai Wu.
Then, in an instant, she put on a pitiful expression.
She asked Bai Wu in a trembling voice, "Do you really have to be so heartless?"
Wow!
As soon as she said this.
The scene was in an uproar again.
"Something''s up! Definitely something''s up!"
"I swear, they definitely know each other!"
"It''s definitely the young man''s fault!"
"No doubt, there''s something between them!"
...
"What heartless? We don''t even know each other, okay?" Bai Wu emphasized.
"You, you... is it really for that woman?"
Che Xiaoxiao said with grievance and pity, "For that fox spirit, do you really have to be so heartless? Is our six-year relationship since junior high really not as good as a few words from that fox spirit?"
"I knew it!"
"Damn it!"
"Scumbag!"
"I knew from the start, this young man looked sneaky, definitely not a good person. As expected, he abandoned his girlfriend of six years for a fox spirit!"
"So it was the guy''s fault!"
"Young lady, let it go, such a man isn''t worth it!"
"Yeah, young lady, let the past be the past!"
...
Voices of reproach and disdainful glances surged in.
Bai Wu''s face was full of black lines.
"Damn, am I really going to be caught off guard today?"
68%!
"Thank goodness, at least it''s a passing grade!"
Bai Wu muttered to himself, his eyes darting around, and suddenly he had a new idea.
"Sigh..."
Bai Wu suddenly sighed, his face full of sorrow, and said, "Hehehe, six years of feelings, and you still have the face to say it? Over these six years, no matter what you wanted to buy or eat, I would satisfy you. When you were sick, I would run to the infirmary to buy you medicine at the first moment. I saved all my pocket money for your food and drink, and what was the result!!"
"Hiss!!!!!!"
The whole place was filled with the sound of people sucking in cold air.
All eyes changed sharply again.
"You..."
"Now you understand why I''m so heartless!"
"You, you, you... you!!"
Che Xiaoxiao''s face turned crimson, and she shouted angrily, "Nonsense! Stop spouting nonsense!"
"Sigh..."
Bai Wu looked desolate, shaking his head and sighing, "Just take it as I''m begging you, for the sake of me being a workhorse for you these six years, don''t disturb me anymore, and don''t disturb my girlfriend, Che Xiaoxiao, she''s innocent!"
"Shut up! Shut up!" Che Xiaoxiao screamed in exasperation.
"Furong, we really can''t go back, I''m begging you, let me go, I''m already tired..." Bai Wu ''pleaded.''
"What kind of people are these!"
"Sigh, this young man is really pitiful!"
"I thought this young lady was quite pure, but who knew!"
"You can know a person''s face but not their heart, sigh!"
"Young lady, stop pestering the young man, he''s already pitiful enough!"
"The world is declining, and people''s hearts are not what they used to be!"
"What a good young man, sigh, really a waste!"

Che Xiaoxiao ran away, and she was crying as she did!
Not only that.
Before she left, she gave Bai Wu an extremely resentful and angry glare.
It startled Bai Wu so much that he shivered and took two or three steps back.
The tragic outcome of that sharp-faced guy on the bus was still fresh in his mind!
However, to the onlookers, Bai Wu''s reaction seemed particularly pitiful.
"Sigh... young man, let bygones be bygones!"
"Yeah, it''s not worth it for a woman like that!"
"After all, it''s a six-year relationship. This young man seems to have truly invested his feelings. What a pity..."
"Everything will pass!"
...
The crowd couldn''t help but offer words of comfort, one after another.
The act had to be convincing!
Since it had come to this, Bai Wu naturally wouldn''t let it end in failure.
He looked up, gazing deeply in the direction where Che Xiaoxiao had run off, and only after several dozen seconds did he ''dejectedly'' withdraw his gaze.Unauthorized reproduction: this story has been taken without approval. Report sightings.
Bai Wu forced a smile at the crowd and finally walked away, swaying slightly.
Seeing this, the crowd sighed again, filled with emotion.
Once he left the car exhibition venue, the desolation and helplessness on Bai Wu''s face vanished instantly.
In its place was a look of smug satisfaction.
"Trying to outsmart me? You''re too young!"
Bai Wu muttered to himself as he headed straight for a nearby car dealership. "But, did I go too far this time?"
75%!
Bai Wu quickly shook his head. "No, no, no, staying alive is more important!"
Arriving at the dealership.
"Welcome!"
"Welcome!"
Two receptionists immediately came up to him, leading Bai Wu into the store, which left him a bit disappointed.
After all, Bai Wu considered himself a reader with ten years of experience. According to the usual urban novel trope, someone should have shown disdain for him by now, and then Bai Wu would have pulled out his wallet and bought a luxury car worth millions, successfully showing off.
But to be honest!
Such show-off scenarios rarely happen in real life, almost never.
Moreover.
Bai Wu was dressed head to toe in GUCCI today, which cost at least twenty to thirty thousand yuan.
Anyone in sales is sharp; they can easily tell.
Even if someone came to look at cars dressed in cheap clothes, the salespeople and receptionists at the dealership might look down on them, but they''d never show it on their faces.
That''s their professional etiquette!
After all, these days, there''s no shortage of manpower.
If someone doesn''t do well, they can just be fired, and a new hire can be found at the job market.
With a bit of regret, Bai Wu walked into the dealership.
To be honest, the dealership was quite large, about four or five hundred square meters.
After wandering around for a bit.
Bai Wu finally settled on a black Range Rover, the top model priced at 3.8 million yuan.
Returning to the black Range Rover.
"This one will do!"
"This one will do!"
Bai Wu''s voice almost overlapped with someone else''s.
The other person was a woman!
And her voice sounded incredibly familiar!
Bai Wu was taken aback and quickly looked up.
The woman on the other side of the car reacted the same way and quickly looked up as well.
Their eyes met!
Surprise!
"Yi''er?"
"Bai Wu?"
Bai Wu and Mu Yi''er spoke simultaneously.
"What are you doing here?"
"What are you doing here?"
They spoke in unison again.
Emmmmmmm~
Both paused.
The next second.
They spoke in unison once more.
Bai Wu: "Are you here to buy a car?"
Mu Yi''er: "Are you here to buy a car?"
They paused again.
Bai Wu, being a guy, had a thicker skin, so it wasn''t a big deal.
But Mu Yi''er was different.
In an instant.
Bai Wu noticed Mu Yi''er''s exquisite and beautiful face turn bright red.
She was breathtaking!
"Sir, do you two know each other?" The saleswoman who was showing Bai Wu the car asked cautiously, glancing at Mu Yi''er.
"Yes!"
Bai Wu gave Mu Yi''er a gentle smile.
He walked around the car and went straight to Mu Yi''er.
Mu Yi''er was still the same as before.
Her whole body was stiff.
She didn''t dare move.
She looked very passive.
But she didn''t resist Bai Wu.
On the contrary.
After two or three seconds.
Mu Yi''er''s tense body gradually relaxed.
At the same time.
Mu Yi''er trembled slightly, cautiously reaching out to hug Bai Wu.
In his ear, Mu Yi''er''s firm whisper echoed: "Bai Wu, I''ll do my best!"
Chapter 45
Showing Off Love [New Book, Please Add to Favorites!]
[New Book, Please Add to Favorites! Send Flowers! Vote! Reward! Anything!!]
After a brief hug, Bai Wu didn''t make any excessive moves but gently released Mu Yi''er.
Because for Mu Yi''er, even this hug was already quite ''excessive.''
But at that time, it was just Bai Wu and Mu Yi''er.
And now.
It''s in front of everyone.
To make a man-hating woman embrace a man in public.
Isn''t that excessive?
Even though Mu Yi''er whispered in Bai Wu''s ear that she would try her best.
Bai Wu understood the principle of moderation.
Haste makes waste.
Bai Wu didn''t want to take advantage of a small gain and end up losing Mu Yi''er''s trust, causing the duck in hand to fly away!
And if it flies away, it would be two ducks!
After all, Di Qingqing was firmly following Mu Yi''er.
...
"By the way, Yi''er, are you here to buy a car?" Bai Wu asked.
"Mm, mm..."
Stolen novel; please report.
Mu Yi''er nodded and asked, "Bai Wu, do you like this car?"
"Why?" Bai Wu was puzzled.
"Just tell me, do you like it?" Mu Yi''er asked.
"Uh? What''s going on? Could this car be for me?"
100%!
A hundred percent certainty flashed before Bai Wu''s eyes.
Mu Yi''er bit her lower lip lightly and nodded, "Yes! Yesterday during the blind date, didn''t you say you don''t have a car or a house? As for the house, my family has three, two of which are under my name. After we get married, we''ll change them to your name, and then the car..."
As soon as Mu Yi''er said this.
Instantly!
The surrounding salespeople were stunned.
Then.
Bai Wu could feel it.
Their gazes towards him became strange.
"Damn it! What''s with those looks! It''s like I''m some pretty boy!" Bai Wu grumbled internally.
70%!
"Ugh! I say, you''re my superpower, can''t you give me some face?" Bai Wu''s face darkened slightly.
"Bai Wu, what''s wrong? Don''t you like it?" Mu Yi''er noticed the change in Bai Wu''s expression and cautiously asked.
She looked worried about causing Bai Wu''s displeasure.
The salespeople''s gazes towards Bai Wu grew even stranger.
Previously, most of it was disdain, but now, it was mainly envy, jealousy, and curiosity!
They envied Bai Wu for being noticed by a beauty like Mu Yi''er!
They were jealous that such a beauty as Mu Yi''er was willing to give Bai Wu a house and a car!
But most importantly...
They were curious!
Curious about what kind of spell Bai Wu had cast on Mu Yi''er to make her care so much about his feelings.
"No, no, Yi''er!"
Bai Wu gently pinched Mu Yi''er''s pretty cheek.
Mu Yi''er looked a bit nervous.
At this moment, Bai Wu spoke softly, "No matter what it is, as long as it''s from Yi''er, I love it!"
"As long as you like it!" Mu Yi''er smiled sweetly.
"Oh no, it''s that feeling of being moved!" Bai Wu was truly amazed by Mu Yi''er''s smile.
Male Salesperson 1: "Ha, pretty boy!"
Male Salesperson 2: "Haha, pretty boy!"
Male Salesperson 3: "Hahaha, pretty boy!"
Nearby.
The three male salespeople looked at Bai Wu, who was sweet-talking Mu Yi''er, with all sorts of envy, jealousy, and resentment.
Bai Wu could clearly feel the anger from these single guys.
With a smile on his face.
After nodding at the three, Bai Wu suddenly furrowed his brow.
He leaned close to Mu Yi''er and exaggeratedly sniffed twice, then took a few big gulps of air.
"What''s wrong? Is there something wrong with me?" Mu Yi''er asked quietly, puzzled.
Everyone else also looked at Bai Wu in confusion.
Bai Wu smiled at Mu Yi''er and said, "I knew it, something felt off from the start!"
"Off?" Everyone was puzzled.
"Yeah, I''ve been wondering why the air in this car dealership is so sweet. Now I understand, it''s because Yi''er, you''re here!" Bai Wu said.
"Ah, ah?" Mu Yi''er was stunned, "Me, me? Why am I...?"
"I don''t know, but wherever you are, the air is sweet!" Bai Wu said, twirling a strand of Mu Yi''er''s long hair with his fingers.
Upon hearing this, Mu Yi''er blushed deeply.
Because of her aversion to men, no man could get close to her.
Not even close, let alone flirt with her.
So.
Being suddenly flirted with by Bai Wu, and in front of everyone no less.
Mu Yi''er naturally felt embarrassed.
But besides that.
Because of these sweet words, Mu Yi''er''s heart also started to race.
Compared to the blushing Mu Yi''er.
The faces of the three male salespeople turned sour.
This dog food was just too much!
The resentment on their faces grew stronger.
If they could.
The three would definitely shout to the heavens, "Damn it, what did we do wrong? We''re just selling cars! Is it necessary to shove dog food down our throats? Did being single offend you?"
Male Salesperson 1: "Hmph, sweet-talking pretty boy!"
Male Salesperson 2: "Damn gigolo!"
Male Salesperson 3: "Hahaha!"
Chapter 46
This is too much of a coincidence [New book, please add to your collection!]
[New book, please add to your collection! Flowers! Votes! Tips!]
The price of this Range Rover is 3.8 million yuan, but after adding various taxes and commercial insurance, the total price is as high as 4.5 million.
Since Bai Wu and Mu Yi''er were planning to pay in full, the owner of the 4S shop directly offered them a discount of 100,000 yuan, bringing the final price to 4.4 million yuan.
And they could ensure that all the insurance and temporary license plates would be sorted out within an hour!
Why not accept a 100,000 yuan discount?
Bai Wu wasn''t the type to pretend to be rich. He gladly accepted the owner''s offer of a 100,000 yuan discount.
Bai Wu turned to Mu Yi''er, "Yi''er, what do you think?"
"As long as you like it!" Mu Yi''er replied.
"Alright, 4.4 million it is."
Bai Wu nodded, taking out his bank card from his pocket.
"Boss, swipe the card!"
Unexpectedly.
Mu Yi''er also took out her bank card almost simultaneously and handed it to the owner, "Boss, swipe the card!"
They spoke in unison.
"This..."
The owner was momentarily stunned, then laughed and joked, "Haha, you two really are in sync like a couple!"Support creative writers by reading their stories on Royal Road, not stolen versions.
Mu Yi''er''s cheeks flushed slightly, while Bai Wu smiled at the owner.
Neither of them refuted the owner''s comment about them being a couple.
"Yi''er, I''ll pay for the car!" Bai Wu said.
"Bai Wu, I''ll pay for the car!" Mu Yi''er said the same thing.
They were both taken aback.
Then, Mu Yi''er said firmly, "No, I''ll pay! This is what I owe you!"
"Huh?" Bai Wu was puzzled.
The owner was also taken aback.
He gave Bai Wu and Mu Yi''er a deep look, his eyes gleaming as if he was imagining something.
"You two, discuss it first. I have something to attend to. Call me when you''ve decided!"
The owner imagined that this might involve some private matters between Bai Wu and Mu Yi''er, and quickly left.
After the owner left, the place fell silent, leaving only Bai Wu and Mu Yi''er.
"Yi''er, what are you talking about? You don''t owe me anything!"
Bai Wu was genuinely confused, unable to understand what Mu Yi''er meant.
"No!"
Mu Yi''er bit her lip, her face resolute, "I do owe you!"
"What on earth?"
Bai Wu was even more puzzled, "Yi''er, you..."
"Bai Wu, we''re a couple, right?" Mu Yi''er suddenly asked softly.
"Yes, we''re a couple now, and we''ll be husband and wife in the future!" Bai Wu replied seriously.
"We''re clearly a couple, but... but I feel so repulsed and resistant even holding your hand..." Mu Yi''er said, full of regret and self-blame.
"Don''t overthink it!"
Bai Wu interrupted Mu Yi''er, his face gentle, "Yi''er, I don''t mind!"
"But I do!" Mu Yi''er said emotionally, "I feel guilty! I feel ashamed! I feel like I''ve wronged you..."
"Yi''er, are you willing to change for me?" Bai Wu asked.
"I am!" Mu Yi''er said with determination, "I can do it! I can manage it!"
"Then that''s enough!"
Bai Wu gently pulled Mu Yi''er into his arms.
Mu Yi''er''s body stiffened involuntarily.
But soon, she relaxed.
"You''ve done very well, Yi''er."
Bai Wu comforted her softly, "You have no reason to feel guilty or ashamed because... I''ve seen all your efforts!"
"Really?" Mu Yi''er bit her lip, a hopeful look on her pale face.
"Absolutely!" Bai Wu replied without hesitation.
Mu Yi''er suddenly fell silent.
After a while, her voice rang out, firm and resolute, "Bai Wu, I will try my best!"
Then.
She suddenly clenched her fist.
After hesitating for a second or two, she stood on tiptoe.
But...
Yesterday, she was passive!
And today, she took the initiative.
A few seconds later.
...
Although Bai Wu successfully helped Mu Yi''er resolve her inner conflict, preventing her from feeling so guilty and ashamed when facing him.
But when it came to paying for the car, Mu Yi''er still insisted on paying.
In the end, the owner couldn''t stand it anymore and couldn''t help but say, "Why don''t you two lovebirds each pay half?"
They both paused.
"Oh, right!"
"Oh, right!"
Then, they both handed out their bank cards again, speaking in unison.
"Boss, swipe the card!"
"Boss, swipe the card!"
They were both taken aback again.
They really didn''t expect such a coincidence.
"Ahem, I say, you two lovebirds, showing off your love and harmony in broad daylight, is that really okay? Let me tell you, there are quite a few single people in my shop!" the owner joked.
Bai Wu: "..."
Mu Yi''er: "..."
They both gave the owner an awkward smile.
"Alright, alright, whose card should I swipe first?" the owner muttered.
"Swipe mine first!"
"Swipe mine first!"
They spoke in unison again.
Owner: "..."

This is really awkward [New book, please add to your collection!]
[New book, please add to your collection! Flowers! Votes! Tips! Everything!]
After paying, since they had to wait about an hour for the 4S shop to handle various taxes, insurance, and temporary license plates, Bai Wu and Mu Yi''er decided to take a walk in the nearby park to chat and develop their relationship.
The park was located just a bit west of the Auto Trade City.
Next to the park was a villa area that looked obviously expensive.
After all, this was the second ring area of the entire Hang City, the central district, where the price per square meter was probably around eighty to ninety thousand, or even a hundred thousand yuan!
"To buy a villa here, it must cost at least thirty to forty million, right?" Bai Wu muttered to himself.
100%!
"There are still so many rich people these days!"
Bai Wu couldn''t help but sigh.
"What''s up?" Mu Yi''er asked, puzzled.
Bai Wu pointed to the villa area in the distance and said, "That villa area over there, each one probably costs thirty to forty million yuan. There are so many rich people!"
Mu Yi''er''s expression suddenly turned a little strange.
"What''s wrong, Yi''er?" Bai Wu asked, puzzled.
"Actually, the average price of each villa here should be around sixty million now!" Mu Yi''er said.This text was taken from Royal Road. Help the author by reading the original version there.
"Sixty million!?"
Bai Wu couldn''t help but exclaim, and after a few seconds, he sighed, "That''s insane! Are their brains squeezed by a door? With sixty million, why buy a house in Hang City''s second ring? Although the house is nice, with a park nearby, the city center''s traffic will kill you!"
Mu Yi''er defended the homeowners, "Well, actually, the traffic here isn''t that bad... there''s a bus stop and a subway station nearby..."
"Even in the third, fourth, or fifth ring, many neighborhoods with an average price of a few million to ten million have bus stops and subway stations nearby!"
Bai Wu said, "Yi''er, what I mean is, if you live here and drive yourself, it''ll be very congested!"
"Well, it''s not that bad, is it?" Mu Yi''er said softly.
"Not bad! Even during non-peak hours, look at now, in the middle of the afternoon, the road is packed with cars. Spending sixty million on a house here is just asking for trouble!"
Mu Yi''er: "..."
Bai Wu shook his head and sighed, "Tsk tsk, I really don''t get it. Were the brains of the homeowners here squeezed by a door?"
Mu Yi''er''s face suddenly turned dark.
"Yi''er...?" Bai Wu asked, puzzled.
"When I bought it, it only cost me a little over twenty-four million!" Mu Yi''er suddenly said.
"Huh!?" Bai Wu was stunned.
Mu Yi''er, with a dark face, continued, "In other words, actually, we also have a villa here!"
"Ah?" Bai Wu was dumbfounded, "Yi''er, you mean...?"
Seeing Bai Wu''s bewildered expression, Mu Yi''er inexplicably felt a sense of satisfaction and her mood suddenly brightened.
A smile appeared on her exquisite and beautiful face.
She spoke slowly, "Just as it sounds!"
Bai Wu: "..."
"Damn!"
Bai Wu''s eyes widened as he recalled Mu Yi''er mentioning that she had three houses and planned to transfer the ownership of one to him. A bold idea emerged.
"Could Yi''er mean she bought a house in this villa area?"
As soon as Bai Wu had this thought, a percentage appeared before his eyes: 100%!
"Really~!?"
100%!
"I, I, I..."
Bai Wu was dumbfounded, "For some reason, I feel like I''m being kept by Yi''er as a pretty boy? She''s giving me a house and a car..."
70%!
"Damn 70%! How do I look like a pretty boy? If the tiger doesn''t show its might, do you really think I''m Hello Kitty?"
50%!
"No, no, I have to start making money quickly, or I''ll really become the legendary pretty boy!"
Bai Wu secretly resolved.
"Wait! No, no!"
Bai Wu suddenly remembered a very important issue: "Did I just say that people who buy houses here have something wrong with their brains, like they were squeezed by a door?"
100%!
Emmmmmmmm~
"This is really awkward..."
Bai Wu awkwardly looked up, meeting Mu Yi''er''s gaze, and chuckled, "Ha, haha, Yi''er, you have such great taste! The location of this neighborhood is fantastic, Hang City''s second ring, great potential for appreciation, and there''s a park nearby, the environment is great, and there''s a food street nearby, it''s wonderful. And you said you only spent 24 million when you bought it, and now it''s risen to 60 million. Yi''er, how can you be so amazing..."
"But I heard someone say the traffic conditions here aren''t very good?" Mu Yi''er countered.
"Not important! That''s not important!" Bai Wu laughed awkwardly.
"Alright!"
Seeing Bai Wu''s awkward expression, Mu Yi''er''s lips curled up slightly, and she suggested, "Since we have to wait an hour anyway, why don''t I take you to see the place where we''ll live together in the future?"
"Ahem, let''s go..." Bai Wu laughed awkwardly.
Chapter 48
New Application of Superpowers [New Book, Please Add to Favorites!]
[New Book, Please Add to Favorites! Flowers! Votes! Rewards! Everything!!]
This really is a luxury villa district!
At the entrance of the villa area, there are three or four fully armed security guards.
And on the way to Mu Yi''er''s house¡ªcough, no, it should be said, our villa¡ªI saw several security patrols.
We went deeper and deeper.
About ten minutes later, the two of them arrived in front of the villa.
Walls, a big yard, a lawn, an outdoor swimming pool...
After verifying their fingerprints and facial recognition, they entered the villa.
"I never expected this, really didn''t expect it!"
Bai Wu couldn''t help but exclaim.
"Didn''t expect... what? What''s wrong?" Mu Yi''er was puzzled.
Bai Wu turned his head and smiled slightly at Mu Yi''er, saying, "I never thought my Yi''er would be such a rich lady!"
Mu Yi''er''s pretty face turned red, and she quickly lowered her head.
Then.
Mu Yi''er took Bai Wu on a tour around the entire villa, inside and out, which took about ten minutes.
After finishing the tour, they returned to the living room on the first floor of the villa.
The story has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation.
The living room suddenly fell silent.
Bai Wu was contemplating where he should go next to make money!
After all, he still had six to seven million yuan in his bank account, so he had some capital.
"Do I still have to go treasure hunting?"
Bai Wu frowned slightly, "No, no, no, treasure hunting relies too much on luck. Even though I have superpowers, I can''t guarantee there will be treasures for me to find at the free trading market, can I?"
Thinking of this, Bai Wu fell into deep thought.
One second.
Two seconds.
Three seconds.
After a dozen seconds.
A sudden idea flashed in Bai Wu''s mind.
A bold thought emerged.
"Wait! I have an idea."
Bai Wu focused his thoughts: "Is there a chance I could find a treasure at the free trading market tomorrow?"
100%!
"Hehehe!"
Bai Wu felt a surge of pride and continued to add selection criteria, "What''s the success rate of finding five treasures at the free trading market tomorrow?"
0%!
"How about four?"
0%!
"Three?"
100%!
"Looks like tomorrow will be a fruitful day again!"
Bai Wu''s eyes lit up, and he muttered to himself, "Is there a chance that the true value of a single treasure I find will exceed two million?"
66.66%!
"66.66%? That''s two-thirds! There are three treasures to be found at the free trading market tomorrow, meaning two of them are worth over two million, and one is below two million!"
Bai Wu thought for a moment and continued to ask himself, "What about those worth over one million?"
100%!
"One of them is valued between one million and two million!"
Bai Wu continued to inquire, "Among the two antiques worth over two million each, is there one worth over three million?"
100%!
"What about over four million?"
100%!
"Over five million?"
100%!
"Six million?"
0%!
"Hmm, the value of the remaining two antiques is between five and six million each, so my total gain tomorrow will be between eleven and fourteen million!"
Thinking of this, a smug smile appeared on Bai Wu''s face, and he couldn''t help but feel a bit cocky: "Ah, making money is just too easy, earning ten million a day, tsk tsk tsk!"
For some reason, the image of the Fat Boss at stall number two in the free trading market suddenly popped into Bai Wu''s mind.
His expression turned a bit odd.
"I say, it can''t be such a coincidence, can it?"
100%!
"Damn! Really? Are the three treasures I can find tomorrow going to come from the Fat Boss again?"
66.66%!
"Pfft!!!"
Bai Wu couldn''t hold back and burst into laughter, "Could it still be those two worth over five million?"
100%!
"Sigh, Old Wang, you''re really a money-losing boy! Don''t worry, once I make it big, I''ll definitely frequent your stall more often!"
Bai Wu silently mourned for the Fat Boss for a few seconds.
At this moment, Mu Yi''er came over with a fruit platter.
"Bai Wu, what are you laughing about?" Mu Yi''er asked, puzzled.
"Me..."
Bai Wu suddenly looked at Mu Yi''er with deep affection and said gently, "I was just thinking about our future happy life together, living and striving together..."
Mu Yi''er bit her lips, her face full of determination and seriousness: "I''ll do my best!"
Then.
Mu Yi''er placed the fruit platter on the coffee table, clenched her delicate fist, and slowly sat down next to Bai Wu.
Bai Wu raised an eyebrow slightly.
One second.
Two seconds.
...
After a short while.
Mu Yi''er''s tense body gradually relaxed.
After saying this, she closed her eyes tightly.
Bai Wu smiled slightly.
He gently tidied the few strands of hair on her cheek.
Then...
Mu Yi''er was still the same.
But this time.
Gradually, gradually...
She slowly adapted.
Chapter 49
I''ve got everything ready! [New book, please add to your collection!]
[New book, please add to your collection! Flowers! Votes! Tips! Everything!! Waaah!]
There''s really no other way!
Now, with Mu Yi''er writhing in his arms like this.
As a perfectly normal man.
How could Bai Wu possibly hold back!
"Woo woo woo!!!"This novel is published on a different platform. Support the original author by finding the official source.
Mu Yi''er''s eyes widened.
Her beautiful pupils were filled with panic and unease.
"No!"
Mu Yi''er''s terrified scream echoed.
But at this moment.
¡¡
¡¡
¡¡
Her face was pale, devoid of any color.
Tear stains crisscrossed her cheeks.
Full of fear, panic, and dread.
Her eyes were vacant, so helpless.
She curled up, silently shedding tears.
"What am I doing!"
Bai Wu''s face was full of guilt and compassion.
"I''m sorry!"
With that, Bai Wu went straight upstairs, rushing inside.
He turned on the shower, letting the icy cold water wash over him.
On the other side.
Mu Yi''er''s face remained pale.
Tears continued to fall from her eyes.
After a little while.
Mu Yi''er gradually snapped out of her fear and dread.
The tears slowly stopped.
She stared blankly, lost in thought.
One second.
Two seconds.
Three seconds.
"Tick-tock!"
"Tick-tock!"
"Tick-tock!"
The clock in the living room kept ticking.
"I-I... I can do it... Mu, Mu Yi''er, you can do it!"
Mu Yi''er suddenly clenched her fists, a strong determination emerging on her pale face.

Unexpected Situation [New Book, Please Add to Your Collection!]
[New Book, Please Add to Your Collection! Flowers! Votes! Tips! Anything! Please, please, please! Sob, sob, sob!]
After settling Mu Yi''er, Bai Wu turned around and continued walking back to the bathroom.
What?
You ask why not go grocery shopping as planned, but head to the bathroom instead?
That''s because...
Sigh, what a predicament!
He had to cool down his temper.
Moreover, all of Bai Wu''s things were in the bathroom.
Soon, the sound of water trickling filled the bathroom.
Mu Yi''er curled up in the bed, staring blankly in the direction of the bathroom, lost in thought.
Suddenly.
It seemed like she realized something.
Her beautiful eyes widened.This tale has been pilfered from Royal Road. If found on Amazon, kindly file a report.
Her exquisite and stunning face flushed red.
Immediately, hesitation, uncertainty, and a look of decision filled her face.
But in the end, all the hesitation, uncertainty, and decision vanished, replaced by unparalleled determination.
...Censorship...
Forty minutes later, at the villa entrance.
Bai Wu stretched with a refreshed look.
"Ah, that felt great!"
Bai Wu couldn''t help but exclaim.
There was a spare set of clothes in the villa, which Mu Yi''er mentioned was left by Di Qingqing during her last visit.
"The issue at the 4S shop should be resolved by now, right?"
100%!
"Then let''s head to the 4S shop to pick up the car, then go to the mall to buy some groceries, and help Yi''er with her shopping too!"
Having decided on his itinerary, Bai Wu headed to the nearby bus stop.
From here to the Auto Trade City, it would take about ten minutes on foot.
By bus, it''s just one stop.
At the park bus stop, a few people were waiting for the bus.
"Taking the bus to the Auto Trade City should only take a few minutes, right?" Bai Wu couldn''t help but mutter.
0%!
"What!?"
Bai Wu was taken aback.
"0%!?"
Bai Wu frowned, suddenly feeling something was off, "Could it be that there''s a traffic accident on the way to the Auto Trade City, causing a traffic jam?"
0%!
"Still 0%?"
Bai Wu''s frown deepened, "If it''s not because of a traffic jam... could it be that an accident will happen on the bus ride?"
100%!
"Damn! A traffic accident?"
0%!
"Not a traffic accident?"
100%!
"If it''s not a traffic accident, then what could it be?"
Bai Wu''s left eyelid twitched wildly, a sense of foreboding arose: "Could there be a criminal?"
100%!
"A criminal hijacking the bus?"
0%!
"A criminal taking hostages?"
0%
"A criminal setting a fire?"
100%!
"Damn!"
Bai Wu''s eyes widened.
At this moment, the bus Bai Wu was waiting for appeared from the street corner in the distance, speeding towards him.
"Is the criminal on the bus now?"
100%!
"The arsonist is already on the bus!"
Bai Wu took a closer look at the approaching bus, his frown deepening, "The bus is packed with people now. If I rashly get on and say there''s a criminal planning to set a fire, will it provoke him to act recklessly...?"
100%!
"The success rate of stopping the criminal from setting a fire?"
0%!
"If handled properly, the possibility of no casualties after the arson?"
75%!
"If I call the police and contact the fire department now, what''s the success rate of ensuring zero casualties?"
97.76%!
"That''s enough!"
Without hesitation, Bai Wu pulled out his phone and dialed the emergency number.
Chapter 51 - To Serve the People
The call connected.
"Hello, 110 Emergency Center, how can I help you?" The voice of the female operator came through the phone.
"I need to report a crime! There''s a criminal trying to set fire to a bus!" Bai Wu said urgently.
"What? A criminal, a bus, arson?" the operator exclaimed.
"Yes! It''s the K221 bus, it just left Century Park Station, the next stop is Auto Trade City. The bus is packed with people, about thirty or forty of them, and the arsonist is among them!" Bai Wu said anxiously.
There was a brief silence on the other end, then the voice came back: "Sir, I''ve already notified the patrol cars near Century Park and contacted the fire department!"
"Please tell them to hurry. It''s only a five or six-minute drive from Century Park Station to Auto Trade City. If the criminal sets the fire en route, the crowded bus could lead to casualties!"
Bai Wu reminded them, thinking to himself, "Could the criminal be using gasoline to start the fire?"
100%!
"Did he bring more than five liters of gasoline?" Bai Wu asked himself again.
100%!
"More than six liters?"
100%!
"More than seven liters?"
100%!
Support the author by searching for the original publication of this novel.
"More than eight liters?"
100%!
"More than ten liters?"
0%!
"Damn, he brought eight or nine liters of gasoline onto the bus. Could he be a cult member?"
78%!
"How did he manage to bring eight or nine liters of gasoline onto the bus?"
Bai Wu frowned, and after a moment''s thought, he wondered, "Could he have put the gasoline in drink bottles?"
100%!
Eight or nine liters, that''s a lot!
A large bottle of Kang Shuaifu iced red tea is only one liter.
That means the criminal brought eight or nine bottles!
He quickly shook his head and said into the phone, "Your officers need to be careful when taking action because the criminal has about eight or nine liters of gasoline on him. Be cautious if he gets desperate..."
"What!???"
The operator couldn''t help but exclaim, "Eight or nine liters of gasoline?"
"Yes!"
"Sir, are you sure?"
"I''m sure!"
"Filing a false report and obstructing police work can lead to detention!"
"I''m telling the truth!"
"......"
After a brief silence, the operator''s voice came back on the line: "Mr. Bai Wu, is that correct?"
"Yes!" Bai Wu wasn''t surprised that the police knew his name.
After all, this is the era of real-name registration for mobile numbers.
"How do you know there''s a criminal trying to set fire on that bus?"
Bai Wu: "......"
"How do you know the criminal is carrying eight or nine liters of gasoline?"
Bai Wu: "......"
"And how do you know he''ll set the fire between Century Park Station and Auto Trade City?"
Bai Wu: "......"
The operator''s three deadly questions.
"How the hell am I supposed to answer that?"
Bai Wu''s face darkened, "Should I say I have superpowers?"
"No, no, no, I don''t want to be dissected!" Bai Wu quickly shook his head.
As Bai Wu frowned in thought, the operator''s voice came back: "Mr. Bai Wu?"
"Ah! The bus has already reached Century Park Station. Do the police have a plan? Do you need my help? If not, I''ll leave now, I have urgent matters..." Bai Wu quickly changed the subject.
"We do need your help!"
The operator said, "Mr. Bai Wu, we need you to get on the bus and help us find the arsonist!"
"What?" Bai Wu was stunned, then immediately refused, "No, no, my arms and legs are too weak to fight a criminal. Plus, I''m clumsy, what if the criminal notices something''s off and gets desperate?"
"Mr. Bai Wu, please don''t rush to refuse. We''ve just contacted an off-duty officer who happens to be on that bus. You just need to find the criminal, and she''ll handle the rest!"
"Is this task dangerous?"
4.63%!
"Alright then!"
Bai Wu said with determination, "After all, I''m a model youth of the new era. How can I stand by and do nothing? I agree!"
"Thank you for your understanding, Mr. Bai Wu!" the operator said.
"By the way, if I find the criminal, how do I contact the officer?" Bai Wu asked.
"Don''t worry about that. Once you''re on the bus, she''ll be watching you discreetly. When you spot the criminal, just make some unusual movements near him!"
"Alright then! The bus is here, I''m hanging up now!"
With that, Bai Wu hung up the phone, took a deep breath, and boarded the bus.

Chapter 52 - Encountering Che Xiaoxiao Again
The bus was quite crowded, though not as packed as Bai Wu had imagined, with people squeezing against each other...
Just as he stepped onto the bus, Bai Wu immediately felt a pair of piercing eyes staring at him.
"Damn! Weren''t you supposed to watch me secretly? Is it necessary to stare so openly?"
Bai Wu couldn''t help but complain.
100%!
"Damn it, 100%!"
Bai Wu looked up in the direction of those eyes.
And then.
He met a pair of beautiful, gem-like eyes and a delicate, stunning face filled with anger.
Bai Wu was stunned.
One second.
Two seconds.
Three seconds.
...
"Oh my God! What kind of bad luck is this, running into that violent maniac again!"
Bai Wu couldn''t help but shiver as he recalled the miserable experience of the sharp-faced man and the incident at the Auto Trade City that had driven Che Xiaoxiao away.
That''s right!
The owner of those angry eyes was none other than Che Xiaoxiao!
"Heh, heh..." Bai Wu scratched his head and awkwardly smiled at Che Xiaoxiao.
He felt a chill down his spine.This story originates from Royal Road. Ensure the author gets the support they deserve by reading it there.
"No, no, no, I have to find that damn criminal quickly and get out of here! Otherwise..."
Thinking of this, Bai Wu took a couple of deep breaths and calmed down, "I wonder if that so-called off-duty officer has noticed me?"
100%!
Bai Wu''s eyes darted around as he used the process of elimination: "The criminal should be sitting, right?"
100%!
"The criminal should be sitting in the front half of the bus, right?"
0%!
"Sitting in the back half, huh! There are sixteen seats in the back half... The criminal should be on the left side of the bus''s back half, right?"
100%!
Bai Wu selected according to the conditions and discreetly moved towards the back half of the bus.
Che Xiaoxiao, who had been glaring at Bai Wu fiercely, followed him closely, inching closer.
Soon!
Bai Wu locked onto the criminal.
Because among the eight people in that area, only one person had a backpack large enough to hold eight or nine 1L bottles of Kang Shuaifu iced red tea.
This criminal was wearing ordinary market stall clothes, his face covered in stubble, looking very sloppy.
Seeing Bai Wu approaching, his fists suddenly clenched.
"Damn, if this keeps up, he''ll be like a cornered dog!"
Bai Wu frowned.
At that moment.
Che Xiaoxiao''s exasperated voice suddenly sounded behind him, "Bai Wu, why do you keep hiding back there? Why aren''t you hiding anymore?"
Hearing Che Xiaoxiao''s words, Bai Wu''s eyes lit up as he thought of a way to reduce the criminal''s suspicion.
"I say, Aunt, I was wrong, I was wrong, okay? I shouldn''t have called you flat-chested, I shouldn''t have called you a flat princess, please stop following me!" Bai Wu shouted loudly.
Swish, swish, swish!
Everyone''s eyes turned towards him.
Although the criminal remained vigilant, Bai Wu could clearly feel that he had relaxed a lot.
Che Xiaoxiao continued to approach Bai Wu.
Bai Wu kept retreating.
As he passed the criminal''s seat, he seemed to trip over something.
He stumbled.
One hand accidentally patted the criminal''s shoulder.
"What are you doing!" The criminal almost jumped up, fists clenched, glaring at Bai Wu.
"Brother, s-s-sorry!"
Bai Wu chuckled awkwardly, thinking to himself, "I''ve acted so exaggeratedly, the officer should know who the criminal is by now, right?"
100%!
"Phew, that''s good..."
Bai Wu continued to retreat, not only to make space but also to get as far away from the approaching Che Xiaoxiao as possible.
One step!
Two steps!
Three steps!
Bai Wu had retreated to the back of the bus, with nowhere else to go.
And Che Xiaoxiao was getting closer and closer to Bai Wu.
"Hurry, officer, do something, or I''m done for!"
Bai Wu looked at Che Xiaoxiao, who was almost upon him, his face full of anxiety.
"Run, why aren''t you running!"
Che Xiaoxiao suddenly shouted!
"Heh, heh, it''s a misunderstanding, all a misunderstanding!" Bai Wu laughed awkwardly.
The next second!
Che Xiaoxiao suddenly lunged forward.
But she wasn''t lunging at Bai Wu; she was lunging at the criminal!
Her two Delicate Fists whistled through the air, landing on the criminal''s face, catching him completely off guard.
"Thud!" "Thud!" Two sounds.
She knocked him senseless.
Then.
Che Xiaoxiao grabbed one of the criminal''s arms.
With an over-the-shoulder throw, she pulled him from his seat and slammed him to the ground.
Then!
Her foot rose and fell!
"Ah!!!!" The criminal let out a scream like a pig being slaughtered.
Then, Che Xiaoxiao deftly pulled out a pair of handcuffs from her body and cuffed the criminal to a guard.
Then.
Che Xiaoxiao swiftly opened the criminal''s large backpack, revealing nine large 1L bottles of Kang Shuaifu iced red tea.
Inside, it wasn''t iced red tea, but rather slightly murky gasoline!

Chapter 53 - Youre Quite Intriguing
All of this happened in an instant!
I have to say!
Che Xiaoxiao''s movements were incredibly fast.
As smooth as flowing water.
"Holy crap!"
It wasn''t until Che Xiaoxiao subdued the thug that Bai Wu finally reacted, "Could this violent woman be that so-called policewoman on vacation?"
100%!
"Holy crap? Seriously?"
100%!
"I..."
Looking at the thug writhing on the ground, Bai Wu couldn''t help but shiver.
He had a clear view of Che Xiaoxiao''s two kicks just now!
They were practically aimed to end his lineage!
Fortunately, Che Xiaoxiao seemed too busy to pay attention to Bai Wu at the moment, as she took out her phone to contact someone...
While everyone on the bus was panicking and confused, the sound of police sirens came from the front.
"Bus K211, please stop immediately, Bus K211, please pull over!"
The police announcement blared through the loudspeaker.
The bus pulled over to the side of the road.
The doors opened, and the passengers hurriedly got off.
Bai Wu naturally was among them.This tale has been unlawfully obtained from Royal Road. If you discover it on Amazon, kindly report it.
Taking advantage of Che Xiaoxiao not noticing him, he quickly slipped away.
If he didn''t leave now, was he supposed to wait for Che Xiaoxiao to settle scores with him later?
The onlookers gathered outside the bus, discussing and speculating about what had just happened.
Meanwhile, Bai Wu walked away without looking back.
Because his superpower told him that if he stayed to watch, there was an 80% chance Che Xiaoxiao would catch him!
"Doing good deeds without leaving a name, I''m the Lei Feng of the new era! Hmm... I''m definitely not afraid of that violent woman!"
Bai Wu waved his sleeve and quickly walked towards Auto Trade City.
Inside the bus.
"Deputy Che!"
"Deputy Che!"
Two tall male police officers hurriedly approached and saluted Che Xiaoxiao.
"I''ve already caught the person!"
Che Xiaoxiao said, kicking the powerless thug on the ground, then continued, "I''ve checked his bag too, it''s all gasoline, nine bottles in total, each about 1L!"
"Yes, yes..."
The two looked at the defeated thug, involuntarily recalling their deputy''s past feats, and took a deep breath, unconsciously clenching their legs.
"By the way, Deputy Che, where''s the informant?"
One of the male officers glanced around the bus, but besides the three of them and the thug, there was no one else, so he couldn''t help but ask.
"Informant?" Che Xiaoxiao was taken aback, then her face darkened, gritting her teeth as she asked, "Are you talking about that damned bastard Bai Wu? Wasn''t he just at the back?"
Che Xiaoxiao turned to look.
The back of the bus was empty, not a single person.
Stunned.
"Huh... huh?"
Che Xiaoxiao was dumbfounded, "Where did that bastard go?"
"Could he have run away?" a male officer cautiously suggested.
"Run? Why would he run? Isn''t he the informant? What''s he running for? Does he want to be like Lei Feng, doing good deeds without leaving a name?"
Che Xiaoxiao gritted her teeth and questioned.
Seeing their deputy''s expression, as if she wanted to tear Bai Wu into pieces, the two male officers didn''t need to think to know that Bai Wu definitely knew their deputy and seemed to have provoked her.
They glanced at the despondent thug, exchanged a silent look, and shrank their heads.
Isn''t it obvious?
Wouldn''t anyone hide?
Deputy Che, don''t you have any idea how heavy-handed you are?
However, that Bai Wu guy sure has guts!
Daring to provoke Deputy Che!
Any criminal targeted by Deputy Che, especially males, would suffer unforgettable pain!
The two male officers couldn''t help but feel a bit of admiration for Bai Wu.
But more so, sympathy.
"By the way, how did that Bai Wu guy know there was an arsonist on this bus?" Che Xiaoxiao suddenly asked.
"This..."
The two were equally puzzled, "We don''t know either, he suddenly called to tell us..."
"Suddenly called?" Che Xiaoxiao frowned.
"Yes! He said there was a thug on this bus who would commit arson between Century Park and Auto Trade City, and he also said the thug was carrying eight to nine liters of gasoline, warning us to be cautious and prevent the thug from acting out of desperation!"
"That sounds so bizarre?" Che Xiaoxiao frowned deeply.
"We don''t know..."
For some reason, Che Xiaoxiao suddenly recalled Bai Wu warning her yesterday at the entrance of Ancient Charm Pavilion to be careful not to trip herself, and her frown deepened.
"Bai... Wu..."
Che Xiaoxiao looked intrigued, "This guy is really interesting..."
Seeing Che Xiaoxiao''s expression, the two male officers lowered their heads, silently mourning for Bai Wu for three minutes.
"Amen!"
"Alright, take this guy back!"
Che Xiaoxiao waved her hand.
"Yes, Deputy!"
Che Xiaoxiao looked at the empty bus, her eyes flickering.
She took out her phone, opened WeChat, and sent a message to Bai Wu: "I''m quite curious about you now (smile)."
On the other side.
Bai Wu took out his phone and looked.
"Oh my god!".

Chapter 54 - A Confused Family
If Bai Wu hadn''t witnessed the tragic fate of that rat-faced man and the arsonist, he might not have panicked when he received Che Xiaoxiao''s WeChat message. In fact, he might have been quite pleased.
After all!
Che Xiaoxiao is a stunning beauty with a score over 90.
Even though she''s a bit flat-chested.
But just looking at Che Xiaoxiao''s appearance is incredibly deceptive.
Che Xiaoxiao looks like a seventeen or eighteen-year-old high school student, exceptionally pure, like a girl who hasn''t yet entered the big dye vat of society, resembling the pure first love in most men''s memories.
Combined with her confused nature, she''s just explosively adorable, isn''t she?
But!
Who would have thought?
Che Xiaoxiao is actually a violent policewoman!
The thought of being targeted by Che Xiaoxiao made Bai Wu shiver involuntarily.
Arriving at the Auto Trade City, all the paperwork for the car was already completed.
After chatting casually with the boss for a few moments, Bai Wu was ready to get in the car.
Suddenly.
A familiar figure appeared in Bai Wu''s sight.
Bai Wu was stunned.
The next second.
His face turned dark, "Damn it, what kind of bad luck is this? How come I run into this violent woman even when picking up a car!"This tale has been unlawfully obtained from Royal Road. If you discover it on Amazon, kindly report it.
That''s right, that familiar figure was once again Che Xiaoxiao.
Bai Wu spotted Che Xiaoxiao, and naturally, Che Xiaoxiao also spotted Bai Wu.
Her eyes lit up.
She gave Bai Wu a meaningful smile and quickly walked over.
"Ah, haha... Boss, let''s not chat about me for now, I suddenly remembered I have something urgent to handle..."
Bai Wu greeted the 4S shop owner and then, in a flash, opened the car door and sat inside.
However, Bai Wu didn''t start the car.
Because...
Bai Wu opened the car door and, with a dark face, said to the boss, "Boss, you haven''t given me the car keys yet?"
The boss rolled his eyes at Bai Wu and said, "I was just about to give you the keys, and you acted like you saw a ghost, saying you had something urgent..."
"It really was like seeing a ghost!" Bai Wu muttered under his breath.
"Who are you calling a ghost?" Che Xiaoxiao''s questioning voice came from the front of the car.
"Oh no!!"
Bai Wu''s face was full of black lines.
But before Bai Wu could speak, the 4S shop owner suddenly spoke up, "Xiaoxiao? What brings you here to play, girl?"
"Brother, I just wanted to borrow a car from you..."
Che Xiaoxiao hooked her arm around the boss''s and said coquettishly.
"Borrow a car? What about your own car?" The boss asked, puzzled.
"I parked it at Grandpa''s..." Che Xiaoxiao said weakly.
"Parked at Grandpa''s..." The boss said, then suddenly widened his eyes and exclaimed, "Xiaoxiao, you didn''t do something ''amazing'' again and anger your grandpa, so you don''t even dare to drive your car, did you?"
"How, how could that be?" Che Xiaoxiao smiled guiltily at the boss.
"As if I don''t know you!"
The boss knocked Che Xiaoxiao on the head and counted on his fingers, "When you were eight, you burned your grandpa''s Wang Xizhi calligraphy, at ten you broke his treasured inkstone, at eleven..."
"Stop, stop, stop, stop!"
Che Xiaoxiao blushed, waving her hands to interrupt the boss''s recollection, and glared at Bai Wu with a ''fierce'' look, "Brother~ there are outsiders here, can''t you save me some face!"
"There are outsiders?"
The boss was taken aback, then glanced at Bai Wu, "Oh, right, Bai Wu is still here!"
"Is my presence really that low?" Bai Wu''s face was full of black lines, and he couldn''t help but complain in his heart.
"Hey? I thought you said you had something urgent, Bai Wu? Why haven''t you left?" The boss asked, puzzled.
Bai Wu: "..."
"What''s up, Bai Wu?" The boss pressed.
"Ahem, boss, you haven''t given me the car keys yet?" Bai Wu reminded.
"Oh, oh, right, the car keys!" The boss suddenly realized, scratched his head awkwardly, and handed the car keys to Bai Wu.
"I finally understand, it''s definitely hereditary! Che Xiaoxiao is confused, and her brother is too, they''re just a confused family!"
Despite his complaints, Bai Wu didn''t plan to stay any longer.
The psychological shadow Che Xiaoxiao cast on him was just too great.
"Ahem, well then, boss, I won''t disturb you two siblings catching up, I''ll be off!"
With that, Bai Wu turned around, got back in the car, inserted the key, started the engine, released the handbrake, and drove off without looking back.
The whole operation was as smooth as flowing water.
"Really strange, Xiaoxiao, do you know Bai Wu? Why does he seem a bit afraid of you? Like he''s seen a ghost!"
The boss watched the car leave quickly, full of confusion, "Hey? Xiaoxiao? Where did she go again?"
In the car.
"Phew, I should finally be rid of that violent maniac now, right?"
Bai Wu let out a long breath, feeling relieved.
0%!
Seeing the 0% suddenly floating in front of his eyes, Bai Wu was momentarily stunned.
"Hmm!?"
A bad premonition arose spontaneously.

Chapter 55 - Starting to act all mysterious again!
Inside the car, a faint fragrance lingered.
This scent.
"I feel like I''ve smelled this somewhere before, right?"
100%!
The ominous feeling in Bai Wu''s heart grew stronger.
He glanced up.
Through the rearview mirror, he peeked at the back seat.
A delicate and cold face appeared in Bai Wu''s view.
Her face was full of indifference.
Her eyes were full of amusement.
Noticing Bai Wu''s gaze, she suddenly smirked and asked in a strange tone, "Who did you call a maniac?"
"What? What are you talking about? Maniac? Did I ever say that?" Bai Wu feigned innocence, acting as if he knew nothing.
"Bai Wu, male, 20 years old, from Tong City in Hang City, a sophomore at Jiangsu-Zhejiang University, currently on leave due to financial reasons..."
Che Xiaoxiao recited Bai Wu''s personal information one by one, then her voice suddenly deepened as she asked, "If I''m not mistaken, this car should be the top model of the Range Rover, with a base price of 3.8 million. So, given your family situation, how did you afford it?"
"Ahem, that''s my private business!" Bai Wu coughed.If you find this story on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen. Please report the infringement.
"Fine, then let me ask you, how did you know there was a criminal planning to set fire on that bus? How did you know he would do it between Century Park and Auto Trade City? And how did you know he was carrying nine liters of gasoline?"
Che Xiaoxiao''s face was serious as she added, "Bai Wu, you must answer truthfully!"
Bai Wu pulled over, thought for a moment, and said, "If I told you I guessed, would you believe me?"
"Heh!" Che Xiaoxiao scoffed.
"Alright, alright, I can tell you, but you must promise not to reveal anything about me to anyone, or you''ll face the consequences!"
Bai Wu dropped his playful demeanor, his face serious as he spoke in a deep voice.
"Are you threatening me?" Che Xiaoxiao raised an eyebrow.
"I didn''t say that..." Bai Wu shrugged.
"As long as you haven''t done anything illegal, I can agree to your condition!" Che Xiaoxiao added, "I swear!"
"Are you sure?" Bai Wu pressed.
"Sure!" Che Xiaoxiao emphasized again, "As long as it doesn''t involve you breaking the law!"
"Che Xiaoxiao really agreed?"
100%!
"Phew..."
Seeing the 100%, Bai Wu breathed a sigh of relief.
After a few seconds of contemplation, he looked up at Che Xiaoxiao and said seriously, "I calculated it!"
That''s right.
Bai Wu still decided to attribute everything to fortune-telling.
After all, Bai Wu didn''t want to reveal his supernatural abilities.
Not even to his own parents would he disclose a thing!
...
Inside the car.
Che Xiaoxiao''s gaze suddenly turned cold.
Her face was stern and indifferent as she asked word by word, "Bai Wu, I''m not joking with you! If you don''t explain properly, I can only arrest you as an accomplice to the arsonist and conduct a separate investigation until it''s confirmed you have no connection to that criminal before releasing you!"
"I''m not joking with you either!"
Bai Wu said earnestly, "Believe it or not, it''s up to you!"
Che Xiaoxiao suddenly fell silent.
One minute.
Two minutes.
Three minutes.
...
The car fell silent.
The atmosphere gradually grew tense.
After several minutes, Che Xiaoxiao suddenly looked up and said, "I really can''t believe you! Forget it, you can go. Considering you saved a bus full of people, I won''t trouble you!"
"You will believe it!"
Bai Wu gave Che Xiaoxiao a mysterious smile.
"Poof!!! Cough, cough, cough!"
Bai Wu choked on his own saliva.
Bai Wu: "..."
"What is it?"
Noticing Bai Wu''s strange look, Che Xiaoxiao frowned and asked coldly.
"I just did a reading for you!" Bai Wu said with a peculiar expression.
Che Xiaoxiao was taken aback by his words.
The next second.
Her delicate face flushed red.
Her delicate fists clenched.
Her eyes widened.
Filled with intense embarrassment and anger.
"You...!!"
Before Che Xiaoxiao could finish, Bai Wu continued, "If my reading is correct, you have a round birthmark on your back!"
Che Xiaoxiao: "!!!!".
