Chapter 46
Under the night sky, in the bustling streets with neon lights, stood a magnificent, brightly lit hotel. It was a place where successful people in suits and ties, as well as idle rich second-generation children, often came and went.
The moonlight shone upon the scene as police cars, accompanied by the sound of sirens, surrounded the entrance. Innocent bystanders quickly left, afraid of getting involved.
The guards’ hearts skipped a beat at the sight of this, and they turned to run inside to report, but their shoulders were suddenly grabbed, and the guards’ hearts sank.
Inside the private room, colorful lights flickered in every corner of the space.
Zhang Lin, with his collar open, lay drunkenly on the sofa, his face flushed from alcohol. He smashed a bottle and cursed incoherently.
“Are you crazy, this idiot! Just because I electrocuted you a bit, you dared to call the police?” He was both angry and fearful, yet afraid to show it, resorting to cursing to appear tough.
“Don’t be angry, Young Master Zhang, it’s not worth it,” a few women beside him soothed, patting his chest gently.
When they turned to look at each other, their eyes showed mutual disdain. Pretending to be tough, they thought, like a beaten dog.
The more Zhang Lin thought about it, the more uncomfortable he became. He slammed the table, “Get more people here! How can we have fun with so few?”
The women raised their eyebrows at this, lazily turning to message the manager.
The new people were supposed to arrive in five minutes, but after only three minutes, there was a knock at the door.
Zhang Lin waved, and someone immediately went to open it.
As soon as the door opened, the person was grabbed and shoved aside.
Inside the box, the music was still loud, smoke filled the air, and various smells mingled together.
Rhythmic footsteps approached, precise and disciplined, as if they were trained.
Hmm?
Zhang Lin seemed to sense something and looked towards the sound. A tall, stunning woman in a police uniform walked towards him with a smirk.
Her appearance made his eyes widen. Wow, where did this beauty come from?
He swallowed, sitting up on the sofa, gazing at her body in fascination, “Beauty, why are you in uniform? But I…”
Before he could finish, a strong, straight leg kicked him off the sofa, sending him rolling several times due to the force.
Zhang Lin felt as if his whole body was broken. He raised his head with a grimace, but his wrist was grabbed and twisted by a pair of calloused, cold, and slender hands. The pain was so intense that Zhang Lin almost broke his teeth.
Cold metal cuffs snapped onto his wrist, and Zhang Lin, kneeling on the ground, he saw the black boots in front of him. Then, a powerful force lifted him up, and he smelled the scent of women’s perfume.
Zhang Lin was carried like a chick, walking among the uniformed officers, with a woman’s lazy yet authoritative voice behind him.
“Move, onto the next one!”
The light cast shadows of the two figures on the ground. The man in front was hunched over with his hands tied behind his back, while the woman behind him stood tall and walked with a graceful stride. Looking closely, one could see that the hunched-over man was not even as tall as the woman’s chest.
When the man slowed down, the woman behind him kicked him hard, her movements crisp and efficient.
That day, one person after another was arrested. Moonlight streamed in through the car window, illuminating Bai Xuhuai’s face. She leaned against the seat, her feet propped up on the one in front, her eyelashes long and dense, her eyes dark.
Before her was a virtual smart screen, displaying information about Bai Ruogu from the past six months.
[Bai Ruogu, a young rising star, won the Best Actor at the Blue Star Awards.]
[Bai Ruogu’s nine experimental fields: which one is the most combative?]
[Bai Ruogu in <36 Days of Survival in the Wilderness>: the first person to turn survival show into infrastructure show!]
[Bai Ruogu…]
Various messages flooded in, and Bai Xuhuai couldn’t finish reading them all. She skimmed through quickly, finally leaning back, a suppressed smile breaking through.
“So, the show my friends were raving about, <Light Years>, was actually starred by my younger brother? Not bad, this kid is quite famous now. Maybe when I go shopping and mention I’m Bai Ruogu’s sister, I can get some freebies.”
Bai Xuhuai, smiling, pulled out a pack of cigarettes from her pocket, lit one, and took a drag.
Her eyes lifted, and she got curious about Bai Ruogu’s rumored relationships.
“Ah Miu, search for Bai Ruogu’s rumored partners. I want to see who this kid has been hanging out with recently.”
The figure inside the smart brain paused, and Su Mou saw the eager Bai Xuhuai through the screen.
His eyelids fluttered. Bai Ruogu’s rumored partners…?
[According to the information, the woman in front of you is Bai Ruogu’s biological sister.] The prompt echoed in the space, and Su Mou’s eyes widened.
Biological sister…
“Okay! Received, searching for you now.” The mechanical voice responded, and Bai Xuhuai did not notice the slight excitement in the usually calm tone.
While she waited for the smart brain to respond, Su Mou processed the information swiftly.
The smart brain reacted quickly, blocking all news about Bai Ruogu with others, leaving only one type of photo and news.
“Hello, the information you requested has been found.”
As soon as the voice message ended, Bai Xuhuai saw the screen filled with pictures…
The messages were all the same: it’s all photos taken secretly of Bai Ruogu eating at a restaurant with a man.
Below were various push notifications.
[Shocking! Bai Ruogu’s long-hidden lover is actually him!]
[Bai Ruogu has been secretly married for years, is this true?]
[My god! Bai Ruogu has had two kids in three years and three kids in five years with this man!]
[Hey, hey, hey, that’s too much! Both of them are men, how could they have kids?!]
At first, Bai Xuhuai believed it, but the more she read, the more ridiculous it seemed, and she couldn’t help but twitch her mouth.
She coughed, covering her mouth, and her eyelid twitched.
“This rumor is so damn absurd. The chance of Bai Ruogu having a partner is less likely than me winning a million.”
As soon as she finished speaking, Su Mou in the space tilted his head, and suddenly a message popped up on the smart brain screen.
“Dear Ms. Bai Xuhuai,
Congratulations on winning the annual Star Citizen Lucky Draw with a prize of 1 million star coins! Please come to the Ruogu Building on planet Rougu with this message to redeem your prize.”
Bai Xuhuai: …
Her eyes widened in shock, and she stuttered for a long time.
“Are you kidding me? If you can split that tree in front of me, I’ll believe all of this!”
No sooner had she spoken than the moon was suddenly obscured, and the sky was filled with lightning and thunder. A bolt of lightning struck from the void, splitting the large tree in front of her in half.
Bai Xuhuai: …
The woman jumped in fright, hitting her head on the car roof and nearly knocking herself out.
Bai Xuhuai lay dazedly on the leather seat, staring at the ceiling with a blank expression. Her face was practically a blank slate, except for four large characters that seemed to be written on it.
Questioning life.
. . . . .
Late at night, on an enormous soft bed, Bai Ruogu lay on it, looking rather small.
The house was their newly bought home. After a long discussion, they finally bought all the necessary furniture.
The bed was something they had decided on together. They bought a large bed, planning for the future when Su Mou would grow bigger, so it wouldn’t feel cramped.
Bai Ruogu was sleeping soundly, with a ball of blue liquid covering his upper body like a quilt, covering him tightly without any gaps.
Hours later, a pair of eyes appeared on the blue “blanket,” blinking before it quickly solidified into a small figure, measuring its feet.
The feet were too small, and the shoes needed to be custom-made.
The figure tilted its head, the program in the space running, quickly searching the recorded footage from the day…
On set, Bai Ruogu was filming, and the small figure, disguised as a doll, lay on a rocking chair.
Next to it, Qi Qier was sitting on a chair, excitedly looking at newly released shoes on a certain official website.
“Such beautiful shoes! They’re custom-made, and there are already so many fans raving about them. I want them so badly, but they’re too expensive!”
She grabbed her hair in frustration, feeling regretful and almost wanting to scream at the sky.
“I really want them!!”
After the video ended, the small figure nodded. It ordered the new shoes on the website and entered its foot size.
The final step, the small figure blinked, revealing a “n_n” expression.
It logged in using Bai Ruogu’s account and used a large discount coupon, making it seem like Bai Ruogu had bought the shoes for it!
Meanwhile, the customer service at the website, upon receiving the order and seeing the tiny size, fell into doubt…
The next morning, Bai Ruogu woke up to a delivery from the shoe company.
When he opened it and saw the tiny shoes, he immediately understood and hurriedly picked up the small figure to put the shoes on it.
Bai Ruogu finished breakfast and casually gave Su Miao a sniff as well. After the two were full and satisfied, they took their private aircraft to the film set.
The small figure, in Bai Ruogu’s embrace, squinted its eyes contentedly before being placed on its exclusive recliner on set.
Bai Ruogu had a lot of scenes to shoot. After comforting the small figure, he changed into his costume and started filming.
The small figure continued to disguise itself as a doll, its eyes wide open and motionless.
At this moment, Qi Qier arrived. She had fewer scenes and spent her free time watching others act.
The small figure sensed something was wrong and deliberately rocked the rocking chair, trying to attract Qi Qier’s attention.
Sure enough, upon hearing the noise, Qi Qier immediately turned her head. What she saw was a dazed-looking doll leaning on the rocking chair. Although the doll’s expression was dull, the bright shoes on its feet were particularly eye-catching.
Wait a minute! Qi Qier squinted her eyes. Why did these shoes look so familiar?
She specifically leaned over to look closely at the small figure’s feet. When she saw the clear logo on the shoes, her breath instantly stopped, and she was dumbfounded.
“Ah ah ah…” She clutched her heart, unable to breathe, her eyes almost popping out.
The small figure deliberately lifted its foot higher to let Qi Qier see more clearly.
Qi Qier: ! !
“Ah ba ah ba ah ba…” Qi Qier felt a pang in her heart and couldn’t speak properly, her eyes were about to turn red.
“Who bought these shoes?!”
Just then, a gust of wind blew a receipt from Bai Ruogu’s backpack onto Qi Qier’s face.
Qi Qier took a look and, as expected, the name on it was her ‘brother’.
“Ah ah ah ah ah!!”
The person she liked the most had bought her favorite thing for someone else!
She was so jealous!
