Chapter 973 - Really Gone Crazy (2/2)
However, when the car drove back along the route they had taken, he did not see the little girl anywhere.
Lu Yubai saw that Huo Ci’s complexion looked bad. Must he get so anxious? She was just a little girl he had met for the first time. He had become truly concerned for her. “Sixth Brother, that little lady was just joking with you. Did you take it seriously? Which idiot would address someone who is just a few years older than her ‘Dad’?”
“You’re the f*cking idiot.” Huo Ci thought of the pitiful expression on the young girl’s face as she chased after the car. Her eyes were full of tears too, and he felt even more panicked.
Lu Yubai had only wanted to advise him, but he had not expected him to truly get worried about her. She was just a little girl he had met once, and she was even chasing after him like a fool, calling him ‘Dad’. However, he did not dare to provoke this explosive ‘firecracker’ in front of him.
Huo Ci took another look outside. The car had already driven quite far away. When they reached the school gate, the car continued driving for another two to three kilometers forward. However, he still didn’t see the shadow of the little fool. His lips curled up with a chilly and frightening aura as he ordered in a low voice, “Stop looking for her! Let’s go!”
Lu Yubai took a secret glance and shivered out of the blue. He mourned in silence for that fellow Bai Heng in his heart for a short while. Sixth Brother had suppressed his anger and was preparing to vent it elsewhere.
Ling Sheng stood in front of the glass display window of a cake shop and looked at her shrunken body. She pinched her genuinely baby-like, chubby face and felt depressed.
She had shrunk. She had really shrunk. She had returned straight to the time when she was 14 or 15 years old. Her arms and legs were thin, and she did not have much flesh on her body. However, her small face was really youthful, fair and delicate. She looked very vivacious.
She was obviously so adorable and clever. What kind of look was that from those two men? Why did they insist that she was a fool? Was there such an adorable fool like her?
From the streets by the roadside to the neatly arranged shops, and then to the way people were dressed, one could see a strong retro style. It was not the vintage vibe that was portrayed in television dramas, but she had truly returned to this era.
Ling Sheng walked on the street with her pajamas swaying about, looking lonely and out of place with the entire world. Thankfully, the sun was high and winter was just setting in, so it was not very cold.
She touched her stomach and felt miserable at the realization that she had gotten hungry. She was truly famished. However, she had no money and did not know anyone. She bit her lips and felt utterly depressed.
The passers-by had never seen the kind of clothes she was wearing. It was furry and even had two ears, which made the pretty and delicate little girl look so adorable that they couldn’t take their eyes off her.
…
When Huo Ci returned home, a light drizzle started falling from the sky.
Lu Yubai looked at him. “Sixth Brother, are you still thinking of that fool? She must have gone home already. In my opinion, she just wants to woo you and simply found an unusual way to attract your attention.”
Huo Ci swept him a cold glance, his eyes full of danger. His entire body was exuding an arrogant vibe as though he was saying, don’t provoke me. He crossed his legs and continued playing his game.
Since Lu Yubai had courted a rebuff, he stopped speaking. However, the image of that little lady they had met in the afternoon continued flashing through his mind. She was as pink and chubby as a small ball; she looked adorable.
Her clothing was quite strange too. He had never seen it before. When she moved, the pink ears on the top of her head would twitch again and again. She was so adorable that his heart melted.
Huo Ci took a look outside. The rain was getting heavier, and his brows furrowed together even more tightly. He was abnormally irritated inwardly as he tapped on the phone’s keyboard loudly.
F*ck, he had really gone crazy.
He! Huo Ci! He was actually worried about a little fool whom he had only met once!
