The Inconceivable Flame: A Fallen Angel's Disguise-Chapter 134 Pleasures Of Life
"Hey, little squirrel..." Ru turned to look at the youngsterโs beaming face. ๐๐ณ๐๐๐e๐ฏn๐ผ๐ท๐๐.๐เซฆ๐ถ
"Oniisan, where did you go? Iโve been waiting for you since 4 in the morning." Xiao Zhi Yuan complained in a sulky look.
Ru touched his head full of black hair and smiled, pondering her words before saying, "I went out for some enjoyment." โBut yours and my definition of enjoyment can be misinterpreted.โ
"Enjoyment?" Xiao Zhi Yuanโs brows locked together in confusion.
"Havenโt you heard about the four pleasures of life?" Yuan shook his head in negation and Ru had to explain, "The four pleasures of life are eating, drinking, playing and enjoying. Therefore, I was out looking for enjoyment." โOh, wait! That was my version of four pleasures. Bloody hell! Iโm so going to hell for misleading a young boy but well... Iโve already shot the arrow. Letโs not go back on our words now.โ
Behind her, Wu Dishi was trying to stifle his laughter as he heard her righteous way of talking. After all, she just made up those four pleasures of life.
Ru looked at Yuanโs innocent expression while she felt guilty inside for lying. But then again, she couldnโt just tell him the truth now, could she? She for once knew that he wouldnโt enjoy knowing that she just came back from pushing someone to death.
The truth was rather simple for her... In the middle of the night, she had gotten a call.
"Master, we lost contact with Team Seven." Adiaโs relaxed voice could be heard from the other end.
"How many days has it been?" She had asked.
"Itโs been 48-hours but we have locked on to their location. Awaiting your orders to take action." Adia stated calmly.
Ru took the initiative to look through the reports that Team Seven sent before they lost contact. And as she read the things Feng Group was involved in, Ru couldnโt help but say, "Iโll join you myself." ๐ง๐ณ๐๐๐คโฏ๐ฃ๐ป๐ฐัตโฏl.c๐จ๐
And thatโs how she ended up at that Factory under Feng Group. She was planning on going the simple route of rescuing her people but the manager of that place had to just provoke her with words. One canโt blame her for being vicious after threatening her brazenly.
"Oniisan, I havenโt heard of such pleasures..." Yuanโs thoughtful voice brought Ru back to the present and she cleared her throat with a fake cough.
"Really? I learned it exactly like this."
"Are you sure?" Yuan gave a pointed look and Ru avoided looking straight at him.
"Let it be. Why were you looking for me?" She changed the topic conveniently.
"Oh, I need a good luck hug," Yuan answered as his eyes brightened up.
"Good luck hug?" Ru had just said those words and Yuan wrapped his arms around her frame tightly. Luckily, she had her arms crossed in front of her chest.
"Now wish me luck," she heard Yuanโs voice.
"What for?"
"You forgot? Today is my entrance exam. I need to do my best. Have to make you proud." Yuanโs words had a determination that made Ru feel amused.
"You shouldnโt have looked for luck around me. Iโm the King of misfortune myself." Ru grumbled as she felt like she might bring bad luck to him indeed. Itโs not like luck was ever on her side.
"Oniisan, you think too much," Yuan said the most obvious thing.
"That I sure do. Anyway, go ahead and do your best. No pressure though. Not being the best is not the end of the world. Okay?" Ru instructed him like a real elder brother while patting his shoulder for encouragement.
"Iโll keep that in mind," Yuan answered cheerfully with a spirited look. As if he was given a lucky charm and he knew everything will be alright now. Before seeing Ru he was a nervous wreck but not anymore. "Oniisan, you the most beautiful person I have ever met."
Ru didnโt understand the reason behind those words but being herself, she said, "Of course, I am. No one can compete with this young masterโs good looks. Iโm a rare sight to behold."
Yuan burst out laughing at her words in amusement. In all honesty, he didnโt mean to say that she was beautiful because of her face which was an obvious fact instead, he meant to say that she was beautiful as a person. Exactly as she was.
But then again, her level of comfort in her own skin was astonishing.
