Bai Wu uttered his thoughts but seemed to play them down; still, it was like a nuclear warhead exploded right then and there, shattering everyone to pieces. They were still unable to come to their senses even after some time had pa.s.sed; all they did was stare blankly at Bai Wu.
“Elder…what do you mean by that?” The crew-cut man stammered and asked in disbelief.
“Literally speaking, I’d like to break this strange equilibrium. I’ve already mentioned the reasons for wanting to do that.” Bai Wu had a go-ahead-and-praise-me expression as he looked to Xu Lan, who was beside him.
When the bombsh.e.l.l was dropped, everyone inside the house felt afraid, but despite that, there was also a sense of antic.i.p.ation. They were all hoping that Bai Wu would really be able to bring them away and escape all the destruction. The things that they went through there were utter nightmares!
Xu Lan subconsciously felt his pocket. At the very beginning, it was where he placed his Yunyan Special cigarettes. Later, it became a place to store Bai Wu’s favorite lollipop. Much later still, he kept his handkerchief there, but as of late, Bai Wu had been keeping the handkerchief for him. Xu Lan’s pocket was empty, and just like his feelings at that exact moment, they had turned into an empty s.p.a.ce where not even a single wisp of fogginess was present.
He was an ordinary person, there was no doubting that. Like others, he too had the right to love and be loved, so was it wrong to like Bai Wu? Why did he have to act all sneaky in front of everyone? Bai Wu was holding Xu Lan’s hand tightly. Xu Lan’s broad palm wrapped Bai Wu’s and was lending him an invisible strength.
“Since it’s going to be that way, we must remember in detail anything that happens around us. I’m not sure if anyone here knows what’s the b.u.t.terfly Effect, but when the system is as big and intricate as this, the affected range of any problems that arise will definitely be vast no matter where the problem may be.” The sound of Xu Lan’s righteous voice somewhat calmed everyone’s mood.
Everybody began thinking, ‘Even if it were not true, at least they had Bai Wu to guide them safely out of the system.’
“Alright then. We’re all very tired, so that’ll be it for today. Please have a good rest, everyone.” Bai Wu ordered firmly before he stood up to survey the surroundings.
Xu Lan nodded and left some words of consolation for the others. He then followed Bai Wu back into the room. At the outset, Xu Lan never felt that it was inappropriate since it had always been that way from the very beginning. His sudden realization only came when Bai Wu sat on the bed and looked at him with a huge smile.
After the shower, his heat had yet to disperse, but the blush was already creeping up slowly. Embarra.s.sed and not knowing what to do, Xu Lan simply stood there. Bai Wu on the other hand, stood by the bed and looked naughtily at him; those scarlet eyes appeared to implore Xu Lan to hurry and come nearer, while the tear mole was emanating a seductive charm.
“Papa, won’t you come over?” Bai Wu rushed calmly to Xu Lan and held his hand, then asked in a composed manner.
“I…I just realized, there are some things I haven’t told them, I’ll go out for a bit.” Could it be that the events in Yanyi Village were all a dream? Where did the lad get so much energy from?! Xu Lan touched his own bottom. He wore his clothes in a hurry and opened the door to head out.
All of a sudden, a strong wind appeared, and white mist came pus.h.i.+ng in from the other side of the door. It swept Xu Lan along and placed him right into Bai Wu’s embrace.
“Mm? Papa wants to go out?” With a wave of the hand, Bai Wu caused the white mist to leave obediently out of the room. After closing the room door, the mist surrounded the whole house.
“I, uhh…” Xu Lan’s words were interrupted by Bai Wu’s enchanting smile; his lips were invited to engage in a tango of the tongue, and his body was pushed onto the bed.
Once those who are young have their first taste of l.u.s.t, it was no telling whether they would be satiated. The mist surrounding the house turned from white to pink, then pink to red, but even the house next door was unable to hear anything.
Sometime later, they both fell asleep. Only then did the multicolored, cloud-like mist slowly dissipate. They were welcomed with the comfort and quietness that was long overdue and they slept until about eight or nine in the morning.
