Chapter 217: Test the King
"Jing... Yuan?"
Who is that? Brother Yun’s friend, right?
No, considering Brother Yun’s cold personality, Jing Yuan might be his apprentice—in other words, Jing Yuan might be my senior brother.
After all, I am also Brother Yun’s apprentice.
Or a little follower.
Lan seemed to be lost in thought. Without time to think about it, he comforted Yannian and held Yannian's shoulders steady. "Brother Yun, don't get excited... The medicine has spilled. I'll go get you another bowl."
Yannian shook his head wildly, like a top, pulling at the corner of Lan's clothes, his eyes subtle.
"What time is it now?"
"Three quarters past midnight, is there any problem?" Lan asked cautiously.
"I have to go back to work. I can't accompany you today. You are such a busy person that you even forgot about my dried fish."
"You keep busy—idiot Jingyuan."
Yannian muttered as he lifted the quilt, mechanically put on his shoes, and walked out. When he reached the door, he suddenly turned around and grinned, "Don't act like a spoiled child to me, I won't stay."
Lan: "..."
Preliminary assessment shows that Jing Yuan is definitely not a good person.
Watching Yannian stagger out the door, Lan suddenly reacted and followed behind.
It was already dark outside, and the water was splashing from the roof all the way to the alley entrance, like ink spilled from an inkstone.
Fireflies were flying under the old locust tree, lights were on in the distance, and a few dogs could be heard barking.
"Brother Yun, where do you go to work?"
"Is your home here?" Lan grabbed Yannian, looking puzzled. He had checked all the household registrations in Xianzhou but couldn't find any information. Could it be that it was really far away and yet right in front of him? Then he would be a real sucker.
"Didn't I tell you to get back to work? Don't try to use any new tricks to get me to stay."
"Night - my home, turn into a cat and walk away."
Yannian pinched his fingertips and slammed into the wall, trying to perform a wall-climbing move.
"Be careful," Lan quickly reached out and supported Yannian's forehead just as he hit the wall. Only then did Yannian realize that he had not turned into a cat.
"Why haven't I changed... meow meow meow?" Yannian squatted down in disbelief, looked at his hands, meowed a few times, and looked distraught.
Lan couldn't help laughing out loud. She thought that the aloof Brother Yun suddenly became like this, and she found it... so funny.
"Something must have gone wrong. Never mind, let Jackdaw come pick me up." Yannian curled his lips, stood up and rummaged through his pockets for a long time, muttering, "Where's my phone?"
"Here." Lan handed his cell phone to Yannian considerately.
Yannian took a look and raised his eyebrows, "Antique, using such an old phone."
"An old man with no taste."
Lan: "..."
He is only in his twenties, not an old man.
What, is Jingyuan very trendy?
A good man focuses on the inner core. Jing Yuan must be very superficial, Lan complained in his heart.
After quickly dialing a number, Yannian waited.
After a minute, the message "number not in service" came.
He called a few more times, but the message "number not in service" was still displayed, and Yannian became angry.
"Jackdaw, when I return, I must arrange a torture for you—tickling your feet with a pen."
"Forget it, call Xue Yi...what's going on?"
"He must have been slacking off with Jackdaw behind my back. That's all, there's also Huo Huo."
"I just don't believe it. There's even a tail—what the hell!" Yannian was furious. "Is this a rebellion?"
"When I get back, I'll have to control you severely."
Yannian's eyes were gloomy, his eyelashes were slightly drooping, and his lips were pursed very thinly. He glanced at Lan lightly. Lan got goosebumps all over his body and felt like he was being tortured to death.
So handsome! Lan stared at him, feeling a little moved in her heart.
Throwing the phone to Lan, Yannian left without saying a word. After taking a few steps, he realized something was wrong.
Looking around, the unfamiliar houses and walls made my already confused mind even more chaotic.
"Where is this?"
"No, no, it's too late. I have to go back and work overtime. I have to."
Yannian was extremely anxious.
"Brother Yun, what is the name of the place you are going to?" Lan asked in a low voice.
"Juouji...are you asking this question even though you already know the answer?"
"What should I do?" Yannian choked and rolled on the ground.
Lan was confused.
What division, what is that?
This is the fairy boat's...
It’s confirmed that Brother Yun is indeed unconscious.
"Forget it, let's go to the pier and take the Star Raft. Lend me some money." Yannian stretched out his hand without hesitation.
"It's quite a distance from here to the dock. I'll go with you."
Lan shook his head and just as he turned his chin half an inch to the left, Yannian took a step forward like a lit firecracker, pinched Lan's nose, and pressed forward step by step until Lan's back hit the wall. There was no way to retreat, and their breaths were intertwined.
"How can you go with me, idiot? Do you want everyone to know that I, who am so cool, was actually fed by you?"
"I'd be so embarrassed."
"——I am the cold-blooded and ruthless Tenth King." Yannian said with a cold face, emphasizing the last sentence.
"Even if you are the most beautiful woman in the world, you can't stop my career, understand?"
Lan blushed slightly and nodded, "I, I understand."
"But...it takes a long time to walk from here."
“Transportation has basically gone off duty.”
"It's dark, don't worry, no one will...discover--" Lan forced himself into the role, cooperating with Yannian, and spoke haltingly.
"Discovering us."
"What can be used at the moment... Let me think about it, Brother Yun, please wait for me."
Lan walked into the warehouse and after a while, he pushed out a bicycle without a back seat but with a lever in the front.
The style is old and it hangs coldly in the air.
"I usually get up early and go on patrol... I rarely use other means of transportation." Lan turned his head, stepped on, and motioned Yannian to sit in the front.
He picked up this car, and now almost no one uses it.
Yannian's eyes widened and he pointed at himself, "Do you know who I am?"
"I, the Tenth King of Luofu, have been recognized as an outstanding leader many times by Xu Ling."
"Even Marshal Hua personally gave me a red flower, and you let me, a noble man, sit here?"
"What a joke, I want my teleportation talisman, I want a luxury anchor, I want my flying ship--", Yannian shouted in disgust, his expression was broken, and he looked like he would never sit down.
The noise of many conversations was too loud, and the wild grass leaves trembled, making a "sha--" sound like fingernails scratching a paper window.
Muffled roars came from the neighbors' houses next door. "What are you doing in the middle of the night? Can't you let me sleep?"
"If the wild cat makes trouble again, I'll put rat poison tomorrow!"
wildcat?
Who are you calling a wild cat?
Veins appeared on Yannian's forehead and he was about to lose his temper, but was suppressed by Lan's light cough.
Lan was silent for a long time. "Do you want to leave?"
"If you don't leave, go back to the room and sleep. Just one minute."
"Hmph - I am the cold-blooded and ruthless Tenth King." Yannian raised his chin slightly, with the corners of his lips drooping, and sneered.
A minute later, Lan was riding his old bicycle very fast on the path.
The street lights swept past, and under the dim waning moon, the shadows of the two people were stretched and folded.
On the pole in front, Yannian sat sideways with his hands folded across his chest, his face icy. As the cold wind blew past, he suddenly sniffed hard and whispered, "I am... the cold-blooded Tenth King."
"Yes, yes, my ruthless Lord Tenth King, I will take you home right now."
"Be patient--" Lan smiled, holding the handlebars with his left hand, and lightly protecting Yannian's waist with his right hand, not touching it, leaving a palm's width of warmth.
Is he crazy? He has things to do tomorrow, and he's staying up late with a patient.
But I couldn't bear to refuse.
By the way, that Si can’t really be here, right?
