Chapter 973 - Really Gone Crazy

Chapter 973: Really Gone Crazy

He had begged for a long time before Second Brother had agreed to get him one. He had gotten sick of that last phone in a month. He had heard that there was even a game in this latest model, so he had gotten one. The phone was not even on the market yet, so no one could get their hands on it even if they tried buying it.

As soon as Ling Sheng looked at that phone, a sense of nostalgia washed over her. It was a slide phone, an antique. In this era, there probably weren’t many people who could afford a phone, especially high school students. Besides these rich second-generation children of entrepreneurs and officials, probably no one else could afford it.

Her family’s living conditions were good. Her father had used a cellular phone before switching to smartphones. However, the original owner’s family’s living conditions were poor. It was only when she graduated from elementary to junior high school that her foster mother finally made up her mind to buy a phone. It was even a cheap phone.

Huo Ci gave him a look. How mature! He was even going to lodge a complaint about him? How old was he? After walking for a long time, he realized that the little fool had been following him. He turned around and glared at her ferociously. “Scram!”

Ling Sheng finally saw his potential to become an irritable and violent person in the future. She pretended to be afraid and took a step back, looking at him anxiously. “I… I don’t have anywhere to go!”

Upon seeing that the little fool was frightened by him, Huo Ci’s heart felt heavy. F*ck, what was going on? “Let me warn you. Don’t follow us. Why would a little fool like you follow us men to a fight?”

“I’m not foolish!” Ling Sheng puffed up her chest weakly. She sniffled and muttered, “You’re my dad. If I’m a fool, you’re a fool too.”

“Are you addicted to acting?” Huo Ci, who had a bad temper, raised his hand to scare her. Upon seeing the little fool take another step back timidly, he frowned suspiciously. Forget it. Look at her thin arms and legs. He was really afraid that she would shatter if he simply touched her.

He was a fine, grown man. Why the heck would he stoop to the level of a delicate young lady? Why should he care about her? Let’s go, let’s go.

Ling Sheng did not speak as she followed behind him. Her father had always been amenable to coaxing but not coercion. Her current father had fully exhibited this merit of his. Acting pitiful was lethal to him.

However, she did not follow them for long before two cars swooshed over from the opposite side. They were cool and powerful sports cars, a Ferrari and a Maserati.

Huo Ci got in the car, leaned lazily in the backseat, and lit up a cigarette.

Lu Yubai turned around to look at him and pointed at the rearview mirror. “Sixth Brother, the little lady sure is perseverant! Look, she’s chasing after a car!”

Huo Ci let out a cold laugh. “What does that have to do with me? Scram!”

Lu Yubai clicked his tongue and teased him. “Look at how serious the little lady is acting. Give her some face!”

Huo Ci felt a little annoyed. “Shut your stinky mouth!”

She was clearly an idiot he did not know. Why was he even feeling a little upset about abandoning her?

That little girl was strangely adorable and pretty. She was also an idiot. What if she was deceived into following a swindler?

Lu Yubai was indeed annoying; he spoke without thinking, “Sixth Brother, I heard that the human traffickers have been quite rampant recently. That little fool is so pretty and vivacious. What if she gets targeted by the human traffickers and gets deceived into becoming the wife of someone from a mountainous area? That’s not right. She’s so fetching that it’s more profitable to sell her to work as a hostess in a bar or KTV.”

“Get lost!” Huo Ci kicked his chair loudly, his eyes spitting fire.

Lu Yubai jumped right up in fright, his head hitting the roof of the car. He gritted his teeth in pain. “F*ck, Huo Ci, are you crazy? You f*cking attacked your brother because of a little girl!”

Huo Ci let out a cold laugh and looked at the driver. He kicked the chair again and bellowed angrily, “Drive us back!”

However, when the car drove back along the route they had taken, he did not see the little girl anywhere.

Lu Yubai saw that Huo Ci’s complexion looked bad. Must he get so anxious? She was just a little girl he had met for the first time. He had become truly concerned for her. “Sixth Brother, that little lady was just joking with you. Did you take it seriously? Which idiot would address someone who is just a few years older than her ‘Dad’?”

“You’re the f*cking idiot.” Huo Ci thought of the pitiful expression on the young girl’s face as she chased after the car. Her eyes were full of tears too, and he felt even more panicked.

Lu Yubai had only wanted to advise him, but he had not expected him to truly get worried about her. She was just a little girl he had met once, and she was even chasing after him like a fool, calling him ‘Dad’. However, he did not dare to provoke this explosive ‘firecracker’ in front of him.

Huo Ci took another look outside. The car had already driven quite far away. When they reached the school gate, the car continued driving for another two to three kilometers forward. However, he still didn’t see the shadow of the little fool. His lips curled up with a chilly and frightening aura as he ordered in a low voice, “Stop looking for her! Let’s go!”

Lu Yubai took a secret glance and shivered out of the blue. He mourned in silence for that fellow Bai Heng in his heart for a short while. Sixth Brother had suppressed his anger and was preparing to vent it elsewhere.

Ling Sheng stood in front of the glass display window of a cake shop and looked at her shrunken body. She pinched her genuinely baby-like, chubby face and felt depressed.

She had shrunk. She had really shrunk. She had returned straight to the time when she was 14 or 15 years old. Her arms and legs were thin, and she did not have much flesh on her body. However, her small face was really youthful, fair and delicate. She looked very vivacious.

She was obviously so adorable and clever. What kind of look was that from those two men? Why did they insist that she was a fool? Was there such an adorable fool like her?

From the streets by the roadside to the neatly arranged shops, and then to the way people were dressed, one could see a strong retro style. It was not the vintage vibe that was portrayed in television dramas, but she had truly returned to this era.

Ling Sheng walked on the street with her pajamas swaying about, looking lonely and out of place with the entire world. Thankfully, the sun was high and winter was just setting in, so it was not very cold.

She touched her stomach and felt miserable at the realization that she had gotten hungry. She was truly famished. However, she had no money and did not know anyone. She bit her lips and felt utterly depressed.

The passers-by had never seen the kind of clothes she was wearing. It was furry and even had two ears, which made the pretty and delicate little girl look so adorable that they couldn’t take their eyes off her.

…

When Huo Ci returned home, a light drizzle started falling from the sky.

Lu Yubai looked at him. “Sixth Brother, are you still thinking of that fool? She must have gone home already. In my opinion, she just wants to woo you and simply found an unusual way to attract your attention.”

Huo Ci swept him a cold glance, his eyes full of danger. His entire body was exuding an arrogant vibe as though he was saying, don’t provoke me. He crossed his legs and continued playing his game.

Since Lu Yubai had courted a rebuff, he stopped speaking. However, the image of that little lady they had met in the afternoon continued flashing through his mind. She was as pink and chubby as a small ball; she looked adorable.

Her clothing was quite strange too. He had never seen it before. When she moved, the pink ears on the top of her head would twitch again and again. She was so adorable that his heart melted.

Huo Ci took a look outside. The rain was getting heavier, and his brows furrowed together even more tightly. He was abnormally irritated inwardly as he tapped on the phone’s keyboard loudly.

F*ck, he had really gone crazy.

He! Huo Ci! He was actually worried about a little fool whom he had only met once!
