Bai Xiyu was now quite proud of mixing in with Second Uncle Qin’s subordinates. He didn’t have much use with his legs and feet, but he was superior in using his brain and could speak out loud.
Although Second Uncle Qin didn’t fully trust him, he wanted to give the leads the most perfect halo. He must infiltrate the enemy lines to obtain first-hand information in preparation to sacrifice his life for the leads at any time.
He didn’t handle the first halo in this world, which mucked up Qin Zerong’s smart little head. He felt extremely sorry, so he must ensure that this last halo he sent would be earth-shattering and eye-blinding to everyone.
The boss of Second Uncle Qin’s subordinates took Bai Xiyu and the other brothers to KTV, which was considered as a celebration of Bai Xiyu being a member. In places like KTV, if the store was smaller, it might have been more honorable but this kind of place that seemed to be relatively high-end and stylish, the interior may violate the core values of society.
Bai Xiyu sat on the sofa in the corner, his wheelchair parked at the side. The loud music in the room pulsed within people's eardrums and lights flickered back and forth, flashing past people and blinding them. Scantly dressed beautiful women danced fervently in front of men who handed out colorful drinks onto their hands, sweetly persuading them to try the drink and teasing them.
Someone saw Bai Xiyu’s uncomfortable appearance and punched the arm of their groups’ boss. Boss Ge traced that person’s gaze to see Bai Xiyu nestled in a corner in the corner, and at once, called over a girl at the side, pointed at Bai Xiyu, and said to the girl, "Still not gonna relieve Brother Bai’s boredom?"
The girl looked to be about fifteen or sixteen, wearing a red embroidered cheongsam, the makeup on her face was heavy, but her expression was nervous and her movements were cautious which should have come from this place.
Bai Xiyu raised his head, smiled at the girl, pointed beside him, and said to the girl, "Take a seat."
After the girl sat down, Bai Xiyu picked up the wine glass and nodded to Boss Ge to show his gratitude.
Boss Ge felt that this young man was still quite pretentious, so he happily played around with everyone, and praised the pretentious young man in passing.
At first glance, someone like Bai Xiyu looked like a weak scholar who couldn't shoulder a burden nor raise an opinion. In fact, he was truly this way and these stupid humans wouldn’t be able to understand that the Bai Xiyu three years ago was still an omnipotent super warrior who could carry more than a hundred and forty catties of meat to the sky. Yet three years later, he was now dragging two broken legs getting busy living and getting busy dying.
Hey, you may not believe what I said, but in those days, this father punched first.
The girl's gaze never left Bai Xiyu in front of her. The young man under the light had delicate eyebrows and carried an untold melancholy from all over. The girl couldn't help but ask,
"Big Brother Bai, what's the matter with you?"
The girl's words interrupted Bai Xiyu's thoughts. He recovered and replied, "Ah, nothing."
He smiled and shook his head at the girl.
Damn, I’m too open just now, let this father calm down first.
But before Bai Xiyu could calm down his soul, his phone rang again. He picked up his phone and saw that it turned out to be Qin Zerong.
Last time, Qin Zerong sent him home and on the way, the two of them exchanged phone numbers. Bai Xiyu was prepared to inform the male lead in advance if something unexpected happened in the future. As for what Qin Zerong was thinking, he doesn't know.
Bai Xiyu answered the phone, and Qin Zerong’s voice came through from the other side, "Teacher Bai.”
"Wait a minute, Mr. Qin, it’s too noisy here. I can’t hear you well. I'll call you when I got out."
After hanging up, Bai Xiyu smiled at the girl beside him and said, "You stay here for a while, I'll go out and answer the phone."
The girl looked as Bai Xiyu first pulled the wheelchair in front of him, then supported his body with his hands, and moved to the wheelchair with difficulty.
The girl couldn't bear to watch, and whispered, "Big Brother Bai, do you need help?"
Although he was very grateful for the little girl's kindness, Bai Xiyu wasn’t fond of this kind of sympathy. Like before, he smiled like a gentleman, "No need. Thank you."
Bai Xiyu went out and called Qin Zerong again.
"I wanted to ask Teacher Bai to meet up with me. I don't know if Teacher Bai has the time." Qin Zerong held a few pages of Bai Xiyu's profile in his hand, his voice calm as he talked with Bai Xiyu.
Bai Xiyu glanced at the time. It was already eight o'clock in the evening. He asked, "Right now?"
"Yes."
This male lead, he’s so innocent and unaffected. Aren’t you going to look for the female lead for a candlelit dinner at this moment? What damnable thing do you want to do with this father?
"I'm afraid I can’t right now, I'm still outside."
"Where are you? I’ll pick you up right now." Qin Zerong tightly clasped the paper in his hand into a ball and had to control his tone when he talked to Bai Xiyu.
"Golden Age Haiyan."
As soon as Bai Xiyu said the name, Qin Zerong knew what he was currently doing. No wonder when he called a moment ago, he could hear the exceedingly noisy background. He was actually in that kind of place.
Qin Zerong's anger came too abruptly, and for a moment, he couldn't pinpoint what he was angry for. He calmed down a bit and still good-naturedly replied to Bai Xiyu on the phone, "Stay there, I’ll pick you up right away."
Without waiting for Bai Xiyu's answer, Qin Zerong immediately hung up. Bai Xiyu dazedly held the phone. What the frick is wrong with the male lead?
Less than twenty minutes later, Qin Zerong called again, and Bai Xiyu knew that he had arrived. So he bid farewell to Boss Ge and told him that he had to hurry and deal with something at home.
Boss Ge was also quite understanding as he waved his hand in agreement to Bai Xiyu's departure.
After Bai Xiyu went out, he got into Qin Zerong’s car. Boss Ge stood by at the corner and called Second Uncle Qin, “Sir, Bai Xiyu seems to be in contact with Young Master Qin.”
“Check it out.”
“Yes, sir."

Qin Zerong took Bai Xiyu to a healthy porridge shop, ordered him a vegetable and beef porridge, and sat across him, quietly watching him.
Bai Xiyu wasn’t inclined to compete with Qin Zerong, and at this time, no one would argue with the male lead, so Bai Xiyu first asked, "What’s so important Mr. Qin had to ask me out today?"
Qin Zerong pretended to hesitate for a moment and asked, "Does Teacher Bai have any other junior brothers or sisters back home?"
Male lead, I’m telling you, you’re making a fuss.
Bai Xiyu couldn't quite understand what Qin Zerong wanted to achieve. He hadn’t thought that Qin Zerong blocked his memory of him three years ago and woke up remembering everyone but forgot him.
Bai Xiyu rolled his eyes silently and replied, "None."
"Really?" Qin Zerong smiled, and then continued, "Teacher Bai, I discovered that not only is your name but also your appearance is very similar to my old friend."
"Oh." So what? Male lead, what do you want to convey?
Qin Zerong seemed yet to have something to say as he pursed his lips. Finally, he said, "The porridge is going to be cold, eat quickly.”
That was why Bai Xiyu didn't know what Qin Zerong wanted to say to him until he got home.
Qin Zerong took him out of the car, settled him on the wheelchair, and pushed him back home. He rubbed his head before leaving.
And called him, "Xiyu..."
Bai Xiyu remained in a befuddled state from the beginning to the end.
————
A short while later, after Qin Zerong left, Bai Xiyu received a call from Boss Ge, "Xiyu, Master wants you to do something."
