Chapter 45 - You Are the Cutest Person in The World I
Han Zhuo gave him a thumbs up.
“Is there any reward?” Bai Xi asked.
“Yes, but what do you want?” Han Zhuo thought for a moment. “Do you want my salary card? I will hand it all over to you in the future.”
“You said it, don’t go back on it.” Bai Xi was very satisfied. He opened the collar of Mr. Han’s home clothes and took a look inside. He had a pretty good figure. His chest muscles were real chest muscles and his abdominal muscles were real abdominal muscles.
“Little pervert.” Han Zhuo dragged his clothes back. “Look, I will charge a fee.”
“You only have to charge for others to see you,” Bai Xi corrected, “but I didn’t.”
Han Zhuo couldn’t laugh or cry. “Which ‘other’ are you going to let look at me?”
Bai Xi realized his gaffe, so he consciously stretched out his hand. “Hit it.”
“I can’t bear it.” Han Zhuo placed a kiss on his palm. “Now it’s my private property.”
Mr. Han, who had never been in love before, was amazingly talented in this area. They cooked pink bubbles and heart-shaped omelets for breakfast together. Before eating porridge, Han Zhuo had to blow it to cool down for Bai Xi. Putting the bowl in the dishwasher was considered a rough job. So much so that in the end, even Bai Xi started to squat on the ground and beg for mercy.
‘Could you please stop being so stupid and let us have a good relationship when we are in love?’
He was so meticulous that he really looked like the wolf grandma who wanted to eat people.
“Every day from when you get up to when you go out, you can do whatever you want during this time.” Han Zhuo helped him stand up straight. “But other than this time, I will still be as strict with you as before, how about it?”
“Confusing black and white, it’s clear that you are the one making trouble.” Bai Xi put on his coat. “I agree, and I solemnly declare that these two hours after getting up are considered my benefits. Deep in my heart, I really want to refuse.”
Han Zhuo smiled and helped him get the documents. As soon as the two of them arrived in the parking lot, Zhou Jing called.
Bai Xi pressed the hands-free button.
Unexpectedly, the other party’s voice sounded hesitant. After going around in circles for a long time, she tentatively said, “Bai Xi, do you have any conflict with my dad?”
Bai Xi frowned and looked at Han Zhuo.
“I have good impression of you, so I just did like you wanted me too.” Zhou Jing said, “I called my dad and told him that a classmate of mine wanted to invite him to dinner. He was quite happy, but then… Listen to your name, just…how should I put it, he was not angry, but his mood was obviously a little wrong.”
Bai Xi sighed inwardly. It seemed that Uncle Zhou had known about his affairs for a long time.
“But in the end, he agreed to meet you. I’ll send the time and location to your phone in a moment,” Zhou Jing said. “But I still have to remind you first, my dad, although he looks strict and doesn’t say much. He has quite a temper and is quite stubborn, so be careful and don’t really get into trouble with him.”
“I know, thank you,” Bai Xi said. “I’m sorry for causing trouble this time.”
“It’s okay, it’s easy.” Zhou Jing said, “Then I’ll hang up first.”
Bai Xi nodded. Until he heard a “beep” sound coming from his mobile phone, he then said to Han Zhuo, “Did Shi Tian tell the government about me?”
“If Mr. Zhou Yong has already known about it, then it is very possible,” Han Zhuo said. “After all, after I appeared, Shi Tian was able to confirm your identity even without testing you. How to transform a human into a superpower, this is the core basis for his cooperation with the government. Since there has been no progress in the project for so many years, being able to provide your name can be regarded as one of the achievements. At least it can make the underground warehouse look less wasteful.”
“So now, will the government come and arrest me?” Bai Xi asked.
“No.” Han Zhuo smiled and leaned over to help him fasten his seat belt. “Let’s go talk to your Uncle Zhou first. At least he didn’t refuse the meeting, which is a good start.”
Bai Xi agreed perfunctorily, obviously still a little uneasy.
Seeing this, Han Zhuo stopped starting the car, pulled away the seat belt again, picked up his chin, and kissed him.
Bai Xi was a little surprised but quickly closed his eyes obediently.
Two people who had never had any experience with each other had a tacit understanding as if they had been in love for a thousand years.
“Don’t be afraid.” After a brief kiss, Han Zhuo touched his forehead with his again, his voice very gentle. “You have a boyfriend now, and your boyfriend is the invincible Ultraman Tiga.”
Bai Xi smiled and hugged him tightly. “Yes.”
.
Zhou Jing sent a text message: eight o’clock on Wednesday night at the Flying Bird Cafe on Huanghuai Road.
According to Wu Zigang’s email, Mr. Zhou Yong was a typical military soldier. He had a rigorous and steady style, had repeatedly made military exploits at home, and had completed the peacekeeping missions he accepted impeccably. And most importantly, he seemed to very much dislike Shi Tian.
“Although I have Ultraman Tiga as my boyfriend, to be honest, I’m still very nervous.” After work on Wednesday, Bai Xi sat in the car and straightened his tie. “He won’t take me away on the spot, right?”
“Currently, Shi Tian is still in a stalemate with me, so no one dares to touch you,” Han Zhuo said. “Relax first.”
Bai Xi leaned back in his chair. “How long does it take to get to Flying Bird Cafe from here?”
“Twenty minutes.” Han Zhuo picked a soothing CD. “Go take a nap. There’s a traffic jam right now. Let’s take a detour.”
Bai Xi closed his eyes and allowed himself to be briefly immersed in the small world in his head.
He had to admit that Mr. Han’s taste in music was really good, and he could always find good products from all over the world. Likewise, he was good at picking wine, coffee, making sweet and sour mandarin fish, and falling in love. The standards were quite high.
Bai Xi curled his lips, finally feeling more relaxed.
.
Half an hour later, the car arrived at Huanghuai Road smoothly, at exactly 7:55.
There were already people waiting in booth 2-8. They were tall and straight, with shaved heads and simple casual clothes. There was only a glass of water in front of them.
“Uncle Zhou.” Bai Xi stood next to him. “Hello.”
Zhou Yong raised his head, glanced at Han Zhuo beside him, and nodded slightly. “Sit down first.”
In fact, just in case, with the assumption that “Maybe Shi Tian didn’t tell Beidou Research Institute about himself,” Bai Xi spent two hours before coming to prepare some discussions on agricultural product cooperation, prepared to fish in troubled waters. As a result, before he could sit down, Zhou Yong had already spoken. “I don’t want you to contact Jingjing again in the future.”
Bai Xi was silent for a moment, then nodded. “Okay.” Strictly speaking, this should be the first time he really felt what it meant to be a “discriminated superpower,” and it was really uncomfortable.
“Is this the famous Mr. Han?” Zhou Yong asked again.
“It seems there is no need for us to go around in circles.” Han Zhuo ignored his extended hand. “But I am curious, how did Shi Tian describe me to you?”
Zhou Yong took back his hand. “You seem to be very hostile to me.”
Han Zhuo did not answer him but glanced slightly at the people next to him.
“I can apologize.” Zhou Yong understood what he meant. “But as a father, I really don’t want my daughter to be in any danger.”
“It doesn’t matter,” Bai Xi said. “I don’t want my classmates to be involved. In fact, even I can’t fully accept this matter until now. It’s like I just graduated from college and the whole world has changed, like a dream.”
“So, when you sent Jingjing back two years ago, you hadn’t discovered your own powers?” Zhou Yong asked.
Han Zhuo wanted to speak, but Bai Xi held his hand under the table. He smiled and said, “We are here today to discuss other matters with you.”
“Shi Tian is trying to get you,” Zhou Yong reminded.
“I know that he not only wants to catch me, but also many people with superpowers, innocent people with superpowers,” Bai Xi said. “You should know that those people with superpowers who disappeared did not do anything wrong, but their existence is original sin, so they can only always be shrouded in the shadow of death.”
“The government will not interfere with the underground warehouse. It is a dispute between your own ethnic groups,” Zhou Yong replied. “The laws are not universal between countries, let alone the planet.”
“But human nature is common,” Bai Xi said. “No matter which planet you are on, kidnapping, killing, and voluntary experiments should not be legal. Maybe the government does have a reason to cover up all this unreasonable status quo, but with all due respect, this reason is flimsy.”
