Chapter 317: Chapter 317 – Footsteps Again

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

Now, as he was driving the car, Wei Xiao Bei pondered a bit. Finally, he realized that he might have a bit of feeling for Zhang Tian Tian, but it was very faint.

He had already stopped being a normal person and lived a life of danger in the Dust World. Zhang Tian Tian was a normal person, so there was already no chance of making it work.

Wei Xiao Bei lightly exhaled, throwing away his thoughts as he parked his car.

After getting out of the car, he looked around and saw that the sports car should have cost more than 2 million yuan.

Wei Xiao Bei could not help but smile as everything was truly what the guard said.

When the elevator opened, Wei Xiao Bei could hear an impatient male voice.

“Lan Xing, I already gave you so many flowers. Can’t you invite me in?”

“No, my friend and I live here. It would be bad to do so. Also, you can stop giving me flowers.”

Wei Xiao Bei slowly walked over and saw that Li Lan Xing was about to close the door. On the other side was a handsome youth holding flowers, smiling as he tried to squeeze into the door. The two of them were in a deadlock.

Wei Xiao Bei understood that beautiful women hate annoying men.

Facing such a dedicated pursuit, women would have a hard time resisting and eventually give in at the end.

However, Li Lan Xing’s face was full of hate, allowing Wei Xiao Bei to understand that it was hopeless between them.

This was not just his random observation but his understanding of Li Lan Xing.

Most of the time, women were weaker than men. Thus under the youth’s strength, the door was slowly opening as Li Lan Xing was almost incapable of holding on.

“Lan Xing? Who is this?”

Wei Xiao Bei felt that even if it was a normal friend that passed by, they would not leave as if they did not see anything.

“Aiya. It’s Xiao Bei. Why are you here so early today?”

When Li Lan Xing saw Wei Xiao Bei, she could not help but feel happy. She ignored the door and drilled past the youth and grabbed onto Wei Xiao Bei’s arm with a happy expression as if she was a wife that had seen her husband come home.

Towards Li Lan Xing’s sudden intimacy, Wei Xiao Bei found it difficult to manage.

“Lan Xing? Who is this?”

The same words came out, but this time it was from the youth.

His face was angry as he almost crushed the flowers with his hands. This had clearly shown how perturbed the youth was and how immature he was.

“Shan Bing, I’m sorry, but my boyfriend has returned. I won’t accompany you anymore.”

After throwing out these words, Li Lan Xing pulled Wei Xiao Bei in as she shut out the youth named Shan Bing.

Shan Bing angrily left the place. When both of them were inside, Li Lan Xing immediately let go of Wei Xiao Bei while blushing, “Xiao Bei, I’m sorry.”

“Being a shield is not a problem. I’m used to it already. What’s the matter with that Shan Bing?”

Wei Xiao Bei smiled as he asked, but his gaze landed on the surprised Zhang Tian Tian. It could be said that she had become increasingly healthier in the days that they didn’t meet, but Wei Xiao Bei only secretly sighed.

“Big brother Wei, you have returned!”

After saying this, Zhang Tian Tian felt that she was a bit cold to Li Lan Xing, so she asked her, “Sister Lan Xing, did that guy finally leave?”

Li Lan Xing nodded her head, “He’s gone. Luckily, Xiao Bei was here, or else I truly don’t know how to deal with that perverted housefly.

Perverted housefly?

Wei Xiao Bei smiled as the words were not wrong. The way he pestered her was truly like a housefly, but Li Lan Xing was looking at him like shit, so it was comedic.

Li Lan Xing did not know Wei Xiao Bei would think this far, as she immediately spoke of the matters concerning Dan Bing.

Originally, the place that Li Lan Xing worked at was called the Hua Yang Group. The boss of the Huang Yang Group was named Shan Xia, while Shan Bing was his only child. When he saw Li Lan Xing once, he began to have thoughts of her and continued to this day.

The so-called Hua Yang Group was one of the biggest real estate company in Cui Hu City. Although it was not as big as the Da Hao Real Estate Company, there was almost no difference. The entire real estate market of Cui Hu City could be said to be divided between them.

Thus, it was easy to see how high Shan Bing’s status was.

“Sister Lan Xing, you should do it. If you displayed your feminine wills to put his guard down, you could seize him and put him out.”

Wei Xiao Bei was not going to let this hard earned idle time go, so he did not rush into the Dust World. He sat on the sofa while holding the tea that Zhang Tian Tian brought and teased Li Lan Xing.

“Xiao Bei, where have you been these days. Do you need some spanking?”

Li Lan Xing was still a bit embarrassed. When Wei Xiao Bei had said these words, she immediately returned to her original demeanor as she adopted a posture of wanting to spank Wei Xiao Bei.

This did not affect Wei Xiao Bei, but it had startled Zhang Tian Tian. She immediately grasped Li Lan Xing’s hand, unwilling to let go.

“Tian Tian, I never imagined that you would protect Xiao Bei now?”

Li Lan Xing looked at Zhang Tian Tian with a teasing intent, but she also felt forlorn as she remembered the magnificent dream world.

“Sister Lan Xing, when have I ever done that?! I can’t be bothered with you anymore!”

Zhang Tian Tian was not thick skinned. With Wei Xiao Bei sitting close by, how could she endure Li Lan Xing’s teasing? After letting go, she stomped back into her room and closed the door, unwilling to come out.

In truth, when Wei Xiao Bei saw that Zhang Tian Tian returned to her room, he let out a sigh.

Facing such a sweet and tender little sister that let out an adoring expression from time to time, Wei Xiao Bei suddenly found himself unable to endure.

A gentle home is a hero’s mound!

Returning back to the topic, Wei Xiao Bei seemed to have a more favorable impression of straightforward women like Li Lan Xing.

Could it be that I’m a masochist?

Wei Xiao Bei had let his imagination run wild, causing Li Lan Xing to have a misunderstanding. She secretly sighed as she continued to tease Wei Xiao Bei, “Xiao Bei, how are Tian Tian and I treating you?”

“Very good. Right, this is the quarter’s rent. Since I might forget about it, let me give it to you first.”

Wei Xiao Bei had understood Li Lan Xing’s nature a bit. Why would he give her the chance to tease him? His counterattack was to direct the conversation to the topic of rent.

A man without money is no man at all.

Even if Li Lan Xing was a girl like this, she could not ignore the question of rent.

After dealing with the matter concerning the rent, Wei Xiao Bei smiled and said that he was tired. He immediately washed up and entered his room.

In truth, Wei Xiao Bei had planned to tell them that he was pulling out of the rent, but after thinking a bit more, he decided that the rent did not affect anything. If he let it remain like that, he could use the room from time to time.

Wei Xiao Bei did not pay any more attention to Li Lan Xing’s thoughts as he entered the room. He inspected the place, and fortunately, the window was shut when he left the room. Although no one had lived there for a long time, the room did not look messy except for a layer of dust in it.

Wei Xiao Bei paid no attention to this as he sat on the bedside. Then from the small bag, he was carrying, he pulled out a few bottles of wine, some fried peanuts, and some beef strips. With a chug, he drank the wine while eating in pleasure.

After the third bottle, he let himself be dragged off into the abyss of sleep. When he lied down, he drank another half bottle, causing the bottle to fall to the ground without breaking, but the remaining liquid of the bottle was slowly being poured out, causing the room to have the smell of alcohol.

.....

After rubbing his temples, Wei Xiao Bei stood up from the bed and looked around his surroundings while tensing his muscles.

I have entered the Dust World.

The surroundings felt familiar. When he tried looking out the window, he was now in the same plaza as before.

Then, what about the sound of footsteps?

After thinking about this, his back was still filled with goosebumps even if he had prepared for it. The corner of his eyes kept twitching to the point of being numb.

Pat, pat, pat.....pat.

In Wei Xiao Bei’s view, he should not be thinking about it. Once he did, it would definitely appear.

As expected, when he was thinking of whether the footsteps would appear or not, the clear sound of footsteps once again came from outside of his room.

When he heard it, his body couldn’t help but tremble.

It was not because he was afraid of it, but because the impression of the footstep that was left on him was too deep, causing a psychological reaction to appear.

However, Wei Xiao Bei immediately became skeptical in the next moment.

Something’s wrong!

This sound is not the same as the one before!

It’s completely different.

Previously, the sound was long and drawn out, but this time, it was rushing and frenetic!

The most important thing was that the previous sound made it clear that it was a woman wearing high-heeled shoes, but this time it was a bit deeper as if it was the sound of male footsteps.

A man?

Wei Xiao Bei suddenly felt that this set of footsteps sounded familiar.

Response Search activate!

In an instant, the scene of everything in a few hundred-meter radii entered Wei Xiao Bei’s mind and shrunk to less than 30 meters.

Outside the door in the corridor, a youth wearing brand name shoes, white suit, and light yellow necktie had a terrified expression as he looked at the dark room.

After using [Response Search], the face of the youth was instantly known by Wei Xiao Bei.

How could it be him?

In truth, the youth’s appearance had surprised Wei Xiao Bei.

This youth was the guy annoying Li Lan Xing, Shan Bing!

How could that brat have entered the Dust World?

Wei Xiao Bei was a bit puzzled, but his mood slowly soured.

Anyone would have been in a bad mood if they were surprised like this, even someone as strong as Wei Xiao Bei.

At this moment, Wei Xiao Bei’s face was slightly red. He suddenly thought that he had lost his cool.
