Chapter 8 Overbearing President’s Runaway Wife (8)
The male and female lead just scrammed with not a word left for him. Bai Xiyu had no time to be sentimental, and besides, there was nothing to be sentimental about. He still needed to hurry and send the last halo to the male and female leads!
Then a glorious exit!
It's just that if he wanted to deliver this halo, he must leave this small mountain village, and seeing this group of children in front of him, Bai Xiyu felt some reluctance. He sincerely hoped that these children could enjoy educational equity and exposure to the outside world, instead of living a mediocre life in this mountain for generations without an end.
"Teacher, will you come back?" the little class monitor standing in front of him asked.
"Of course!" Bai Xiyu’s hand stroked the little class monitor’s head, looked at the group of teary-eyed children behind the class monitor, and said smilingly, "Don’t believe your teacher? Come on, teacher will give you a pinky swear."
The old and young hooked their fingers together. The children at the side choked on their sobs as they said, "Let’s make a promise kept for a hundred years!"
Bai Xiyu couldn’t help but lower his head. After a while, he raised his head again and patted the little class monitor’s shoulder, saying, "After this teacher leaves, you be good, listen to your parents, when you have nothing to do, review teacher’s lessons, alright?"
The little class leader nodded vigorously, " Yes, yes.”
"Good boy." There were tears in Bai Xiyu's eyes, but he was smiling from the beginning until the end.
That evening, Bai Xiyu got into a small worn-out van, waved goodbye to the children, and left the small mountain village where he had stayed for more than two years.

It was two months later when Qin Zerong saw Bai Xiyu again. The thin young man was wearing a black and white baseball shirt, a bag of fruits on his knees, and slowly pushing the wheels on both sides of the wheelchair with his hands, seemingly going to the bus station on the other side of the street.
Qin Zerong quickly followed, and shouted from behind him, "Mr. Bai!"
Hearing someone calling from behind, Bai Xiyu stopped his wheelchair, turned his head, and glanced back just to see Qin Zerong walking towards him. When Qin Zerong stopped in front of him, Bai Xiyu smilingly said, "It's Mr. Qin."
Qin Zerong looked over Bai Xiyu again, then asked, "Why is Teacher Bai here? "
Oh, master is here to save your life.
Of course, Bai Xiyu's answered quite normally. He said, "I have relatives in City S, so I came to visit?"
Qin Zerong urgently asked, "Will Teacher Bai be going back?"
Although he didn't know why the male lead wasn’t picking up a girl or dealing with the land south of the city, Bai Xiyu still had a good temper and answered Qin Zerong’s question with a smile, "Of course. If I don’t go back, what will those children do?"
Qin Zerong nodded, "Teacher Bai is really nice."
Oh, really? So this is the reason you sent me a good person card?
"Then Mr. Qin, I’ll be going back first." You’re blocking me, male lead, hurry up and step aside.
However, it seemed that Qin Zerong’s IQ went offline all of a sudden this time as he was unable to make sense of Bai Xiyu's words at all. He also took off his suit, and placed it on Bai Xiyu's body, then naturally went around Bai Xiyu's back, both his hands grabbing the handles behind the wheelchair.
Bai Xiyu glanced down at the clothing on his shoulder, and was a bit dazed, "Mr. Qin?"
"It's autumn right now. Keep warm. Teacher Bai, you don't wear too much, don't catch a cold."
Bai Xiyu was about to retort, but Qin Zerong didn't give him a chance and asked him, "Where is Teacher Bai going? My car is nearby, I'll send Teacher Bai back."
"No need, I'll just take a taxi and go home."
"Does Teacher Bai not believe me?" Qin Zerong asked, tilting his head.
Hey, fudge, you learned how to act like a child, male lead? What did you experience in the past few years? You’re frightening Daddy, okay!
In the end, Bai Xiyu was pushed forward by Qin Zerong.
The leaves from the trees on both sides of the street had already fallen, leaving bare trunks that shriveled up from the wind while the pedestrians briskly walked.
Bai Xiyu asked him, "Mr. Qin, don’t you have work today?" Aren’t you gonna take hold of the land in the south?
"Today is the company's holiday. It’s alright for Teacher Bai to call me Zerong." Qin Zerong paused, gently brushing the leaves on Bai Xiyu's head, then asked, "By the way, I still don't know Teacher Bai’s full name?"
"Bai Xiyu, Xi(希) from hope(希望) and Yu(禹) from YaoShunYuTang(尧舜禹汤)[1]."
"Xiyu?" Qin Zerong appeared to have doubts.
"What's the matter?" Although Bai Xiyu couldn't see Qin Zerong's expression, he could still hear that he seemed to possess some complaints about his name.
In the previous years, you unknowingly say Xiyu so excitedly!
"It's nothing, it's just that Teacher Bai’s name is the same as an old friend of mine."
"Oh." Bai Xiyu stopped talking, silently lamenting that this guy, Qin Zerong, had also become a hypocrite and that he also looked like an old friend too. Tsk, male lead, you’re not the pure cutie you used to be.
Qin Zerong parked the wheelchair by the side of the car, opened the door, walked in front of Bai Xiyu and bent his waist, then picked up Bai Xiyu from the wheelchair.
Princess carry! Princess carry! I'm fucked!
You’re not allowed to do homosexual actions! Words! Situations! Or! Text! Male! Lead!
Bai Xiyu couldn’t be blamed for making too much of a fuss. Truthfully, there had been many stories from the headquarters about protagonists, villains, and cannon fodders starting to engage with homosexual practices, and Bai Xiyu had to guard against that.
At the time that Bai Xiyu was placed in the front co-pilot's seat, he still looked dumbfounded.
Qin Zerong took in this appearance, the corner of his mouth slightly raised, nodded his head, and turned around to put his wheelchair in the trunk.
Qin Zerong got into the car and saw that Bai Xiyu was still in a daze so he reached out his hand to fasten his seat belt.
Bai Xiyu looked at Qin Zerong who was close to him and hesitatingly said, "Mr. Qin, to me, are you...that..."
Qin Zerong knew what Bai Xiyu was talking about but couldn’t help teasing Teacher Bai, so he pretended to be puzzled, "That?"
Bai Xiyu wasn’t a fool, he saw through Qin Zerong’s act and sneered in his heart. The male lead was still too young to play with him. He asked in deadpan, "Mr. Qin, do you want to screw me?”
Qin Zerong was very thankful that he hadn’t started the car at this time, otherwise, there might have been a major traffic accident. He glanced at the person next to him whose face was calm as if he hadn't said anything just now.
Qin Zerong was funny when he was unable to be cool. He could no longer pretend to be naive and had no choice but helplessly say, "You misunderstand, Teacher Bai, I am not gay."
"So that's it..."
Thank god, the male lead is still straight.
"Listening to Teacher Bai's tone... Are you disappointed?"
Bai Xiyu said coldly, "No."
He then stopped speaking while Qin Zerong stopped asking questions, so the car’s atmosphere became calm and harmonious.
————
"That Mr. Bai was very close to Elder Qin’s men, so we suspect that Mr. Bai is possibly Elder Qin’s person." The black-suited subordinate stood in front of the desk, voice calmly reporting the results of his investigation to Qin Zerong.
Qin Zerong nodded, then ordered, "Go and look up Bai Xiyu's whereabouts."
The subordinates were taken aback, wasn't it Bai Xiyu they were investigating just now?
Qin Zerong noticed the black question mark on his subordinate’s face and explained, "The Miss Xiyu my grandfather speaks of."
"Yes."
After his subordinate left, Qin Zerong lightly tapped his finger on the table, creating a rhythmic sound. He closed his eyes, his mind was filled with Bai Xiyu's smiling expression.
Bai Xiyu, who are you really?
[1] YaoShunYuTang (尧舜禹汤) were the four ancient emperors. Yao for Tang Yao, Shun for Yu Shun, Yu for Xia Yu, and Tang for Wu Tang.
