Chapter 22: Taking a Taxi Home
After school, Zhang Xi Yu tidied up her books and put them in the drawer, while Xing Luo didn't move at all. Anyway, his books hadn't been touched, so whether he tidied or not made no difference.
"Hey, bro, are you free tonight? Want to go out and have a few drinks? I'll introduce you to the guys in my dorm." Zhao Yu turned around and asked Xing Luo.
"Ah, okay, I don't have anything to do tonight anyway." Xing Luo nodded and agreed without hesitation. After all, he had transformed from the King of Assassins to an ordinary high school student, and time was now abundant for him. As for making friends, Xing Luo didn't reject it either, especially since he also had a good impression of Zhao Yu.
Frank and just!
This is the reason why Xing Luo has a good impression of Zhao Yu. After experiencing the ugliness and evilness of the world, as well as various plots and schemes, Xing Luo instead secretly likes this ordinary life that doesn't require him to worry too much about his own safety.
But the bloodthirsty gunsmoke in his bones was not easy to erase.
Zhang Xi Yu heard that Xing Luo was going out at night, her slender eyebrows furrowed slightly, but soon relaxed.
When Xing Luo agreed, Zhao Yu was also overjoyed. With Xing Luo's exceptional skills, if he had the time to teach him a few moves, wouldn't he become unbeatable in the entire school?
"Alright, that big stall opposite the school at night, do you know where it is?" Zhao Yu said with a smile. Suddenly thinking of Xing Luo saying he was back from abroad earlier, Zhao Yu hesitated for a moment and asked if Xing Luo knew the specific location.
"Heh heh, I know, I saw it when I was in school." Xing Luo nodded and said with a smile. As for the environment around him, he naturally had to observe it at all times, and this was something that Xing Luo had grown accustomed to.
"Then I'll go first, to contact those iron brothers in my dormitory. Tonight is a must-see." Zhao Yu stood up and waved his hand at Xing Luo, saying.
"We'll meet again if fate permits."
As he watched Zhao Yu walk away, Xing Luo's mouth involuntarily curled up into a beautiful arc, this was his first friend in the mortal world...
"What are you laughing at?" Zhang Xi Yu saw Xing Luo's smile and couldn't help but ask, "Let's go, it's time to head home for dinner."
"Actually, the secular world is not bad either..." He slightly shook his head and Xing Luo smiled saying: "Will you cook dinner?"
The sentence in front seemed to be muttering to himself, while Xing Luo turned his head and looked at Zhang Xi Yu with some confusion. He also had a slight understanding of Zhang Xi Yu's family background, the latter being the little princess of the Zhang family. This time, Xing Luo was still somewhat...
Upon hearing this, Zhang Xi Yu's pretty face suddenly turned slightly red, and she said somewhat embarrassedly: "Let's just order takeout instead."
"Hmph..." Xing Luo burst out laughing, just as he had expected.
"What's so funny? Are you going to do it?" Unhappy, she raised an eyebrow and gave Xing Luo a white eye.
"Need I say more, I've been through special training since I was a kid, when it comes to survival, making my own food is a completely normal thing, unlike you who were born with a silver spoon in your mouth." Xing Luo said with a wave of her hand.
She glanced at Xing Luo, and Zhang Xi Yu's heart also slightly understood, but immediately shook her head. In the depths of her heart, there was already a strong-willed and resilient boy.
When she was young, the little boy would take her on daily adventures of mischief and mayhem, infuriating their elders to the point of exasperation. Yet, in the end, they couldn't bring themselves to scold them, and so let them be. The elders' affection for the little boy was a deep-seated one.
When Zhang Xi Yu was a kid, she once lost her plush toy and cried loudly. In the end, it was a boy who went to find his father, no matter what, he had to help himself find that plush toy.
One day, when the little boy happily brought the plush toy in front of Zhang Xi Yu, Zhang Xi Yu couldn't help but smile. As he revealed his innocent and cheerful smile, the little boy inadvertently triggered a handsome smile.
However, when she was five years old, the little boy suddenly disappeared for no reason. Zhang Xi Yu went to find her grandfather, but he just told Zhang Xi Yu that the little boy had gone somewhere and would come back to play with Xi Yu after achieving his goal in his heart.
At that time, Zhang Xi Yu felt as if the sky was going to collapse, and from then on, the originally innocent and cheerful Zhang Xi Yu suddenly became icy and aloof overnight, rarely speaking more than a few words to outsiders. In her heart, the little boy occupied a very large space.
She only remembered that the little boy's name was Xiaoluo...
"He's called Xing Luo, not Xiao Luo. The two are vastly different. Xiao Luo is Uncle Xiao's most beloved child and the young master of the Xiao family, having been doted on by many elders since he was young. On the other hand, Xing Luo has been living in a life-or-death training environment since childhood. The two are not alike." Zhang Xi Yue's heart slightly ached as she reminisced about her childhood days.
When someone gets into trouble, there are people who will defend themselves in every way and not let themselves be blamed at all, while the elders can only get angry and helpless.
"Hey, what are you spacing out for? Let's go. We can just order takeout tonight anyway." Xing Luo looked at Zhang Xi Yu who was standing there in a daze and couldn't help but pat her on the back before lifting his feet to walk away.
Qing Miao watched as Xing Luo walked away, and in that instant, Zhang Xi Yu had a strong feeling - Xing Luo's back figure was extremely similar to the little boy from back then. But after thinking about it, Zhang Xi Yu couldn't help but let out a bitter laugh in his heart... they were two completely different people.
Xing Luo and Zhang Xi Yu walked out of the school gate, they didn't have a car at this moment either. Xing Luo's modified car hadn't arrived yet. Thinking about his domineering modified car that was about to debut, Xing Luo was excited for a while. Earlier, he had asked Zou to help him take care of it, just to make the car more solid!
Yes, exactly, it's solid!
According to Xing Luo's idea, his car must be solid, even if it can't compare with a tank, it should have at least half the strength of a tank!
After two people walked out of the school gate, they took a taxi back home. No choice, who let them have no car?
After getting into the taxi, Zhang Xi Yu also said his destination and looked out of the window. Xing Luo also slightly sensed that Zhang Xi Yu's mood had changed a bit, but he wouldn't gossip by going to ask, and was happy to be idle instead.
There was still a distance from the school to the villa, and Xing Luo also closed his eyes to rest. At some point, Xing Luo opened his eyes, slowly turned his head, and saw that there was a white van following behind him, which made him slightly frown.
However, through the white van, Xing Luo saw a very familiar person, that was Ge Feng!
