"Little Brother? Little Brother!" Zhao Huiyin smiled flatteringly, her face adorned with a pleasing grin that looked somewhat comical. "Is your boss around? Is Master Zhou here?"
Zhao Huiyin had spent the entire afternoon communicating with Zhou Changyi, using her silver tongue to express herself animatedly, her gestures lively and her expressions as rich as a clown's. Finally, she had confirmed her grand plan!
No more princes for her; she would be the lady boss and enjoy the good life just the same! She jumped up excitedly, as if she could already see her glorious future ahead.
Zhou Changyi, equally thrilled, wrapped his arm around her shoulders, leaning in closely:
"The time is almost here. Come with me to Five Miles Slope and let’s wait to see if Luo Hanfei will show up."
"Don't get so close to me. Seeing your face makes me want to hit someone."
There was no helping it; Zhou Changyi was her eternal enemy, a fact she would never forget!
She frowned and disdainfully shrugged off Zhou Changyi's hand from her shoulder. Just then, she suddenly remembered to ask, "Why do you think that if Luo Hanfei captures me, he will obediently hand over the treasure?"
Zhou Changyi was confident as he patted his chest. "You are the only woman who has been in his bed and brought back to his residence."
In his bed... When did that happen? Why was she, the person involved, unaware of it? Her eyes widened in surprise and confusion, as if she had just heard the most unbelievable thing in the world.
Uh, could it have been during that time when she crossed over? But she wasn't the main character in that scenario! Such an important detail couldn't be mistaken!
She shook her head repeatedly, as if trying to fling this absurd thought from her mind.
Moreover, being brought back to his residence wasn't because Luo Hanfei thought she had any connection with Zhou Changyi... She had heard everything that day at the inn!
So, she ultimately had to convince herself that Luo Hanfei wouldn't come after all. Her gaze dimmed, like a gemstone that had lost its luster.
Five Miles Slope Beyond the City
The autumn wind howled, cutting against the face like a knife, making one shiver uncontrollably. The withered yellow leaves danced in the wind, resembling butterflies fluttering gracefully.
The appointed time had passed, yet Luo Hanfei had not shown up.
Zhou Changyi was taken aback, scratching his head in disbelief. Did the duck he thought he had in hand fly away?
"Forget it, let's go steal from the Wang Mansion tonight! Withdraw!" He waved his hand, preparing to lead his subordinates away.
"Don't withdraw! Wait a little longer!"
Zhao Huiyin protested, her gaze fixed on the intersection ahead, her eyes unblinking and filled with determination—Luo Hanfei, if you don't come, I will make you pay! Even if you die, I won't go see you! I curse you to marry an ugly and fierce old hag for the rest of your life!
The more she scolded him in her heart, the sadder she felt, tears welling up in her eyes.
"Miss Zhao?" Zhou Changyi truly couldn't understand a girl's feelings; he shook his head helplessly.
Zhao Huiyin sniffed and wiped her eyes. "Forget it, let's go." Her voice trembled slightly as she lowered her head and turned to leave.
Once she became the leader, the first place she would rob would be Lord Luo's Mansion! She silently vowed, a glint of resolve flashing in her eyes.
As they turned back, the howling wind grew louder around them, sounding like wails of ghosts. Suddenly, Zhao Huiyin screamed, her voice piercing through the night sky, "Ah—"
No one noticed that Zhao Huiyin had been tied up again, lifted away like a kite... dangling from a branch behind her, swaying precariously. "Help... hey, you..."
Zhao Huiyin struggled in the air like a trapped little bird.
With a cheeky grin that seemed harmless but was actually quite cunning, he appeared gentle on the surface but was heartless inside. Who else could it be but Luo Hanfei?
Luo Hanfei pulled the rope up with a lightness in his movements. Standing side by side, he wrapped his arms around her tightly and said with a harsh tone, "I warn you, if you dare to lose heart here, I won't let you off!" His eyes held a hint of threat.
Hey, hey, hey! She was just about to feel touched, maybe even cry a little. How could he deflate her like this? Zhao Huiyin angrily struggled in his embrace, pounding her fists against his chest.
"Weren't you not coming?" It was somewhat sweet, but she still needed to clarify! "I came early."
Luo Hanfei replied, "But it looked like you all were getting along well, so I went off to do something else." He glanced at the few people under the tree, a smug look in his eyes.
Something else?
What kind of something?
Zhao Huiyin paused for a moment, suddenly feeling an ominous premonition… Her brows furrowed as worry filled her gaze.
In the distance, a group of Shrimp Soldiers and Crab Generals rushed over, panting heavily as they shouted, "Boss, it's bad! The village is on fire..."
The one who set the fire was none other than Luo Hanfei standing right in front of her.
