Su Ke has been to the Blue Sky hotel that was Liu Fei Hong's headquarters a number of times, so he was naturally familiar with the place, even to the point where the lobby manager recognized him. She was a woman in her thirties, and like a ripe peach, if you pump her slightly, the juice will flow out. She had a curvaceous build that was not too thin and not too thick. She also had fair white skin and was wearing a crimson cheongsam, not lacking the charm of a mature woman. When she saw Su Ke walking toward her, she had a smile on her face as she walked over, "Su Ke, You're here!"
"h.e.l.lo, sister Liu!"
Su Ke didn't know why, but every time he met Liu Er Mei, it seemed like her expression looked like she wanted to devour him. To put it nicely, it could be counted as enthusiasm, but on the other hand, it was like she was trying to charm him.
"En! Ma Meng just went to attend to some business, so you should just go ahead and look for sister Fei Hong by yourself!"
With a sweet smile and a.s.suming an alluring posture, Liu Er Mei then lifted her hand and pointed to a flight of stairs, but without any pretentious acts like playing with her hair coquettishly.
Su Ke's impression of Liu Fei Hong was that she always wore black, and this time was no exception; she was wearing a black T-s.h.i.+rt and black pants and was sitting on a black wooden chair.
The wooden chair was placed by a tall french window, and the lights outside looked like a sky full of stars. It looked like Liu Fei Hong seemed to have merged with the night scene outside the window; her legs were crossed and she held a cigarette in one hand, the green smoke slowly and constantly spiraling upwards. When he entered the room, it was this pose that Su Ke saw Liu Fei Hong in. He looked at the window thoughtfully before walking over and standing by her side, feeling too embarra.s.sed to bother her.
Without knowing why, seeing Liu Fei Hong in this state made Su Ke gradually feel more and more unsettled. Could it be that the situation with Wu Ao Ran ran into some complications?
His palms started to sweat, immediately turning clammy and uncomfortable.
"Su Ke!"
Liu Fei Hong's voice suddenly sounded out, but her posture had not changed, and she was still facing the window.
Su Ke subconsciously tensed up his whole body as he responded, "En!"
"I noticed that I'm starting to be unable to see through you. The first time we met, you were like an underripe apple, very headstrong and unbending. The second time was even more shocking. When someone wanted to harm Qing Qing, you were able to step forward bravely and even broke his leg. It was really surprising!"
"The third time, you unexpectedly brought along a beautiful lady boss that seemed to be on good terms with you. It was hard to think that a third-year student like you would be with someone who had spent a few years in society. A man who clearly understands worldly affairs will be able to carry on an ardent relations.h.i.+p. You even managed to provoke Wu Yi Ren and Lang Ming!"
Liu Fei Hong then sighed before continuing with a calm and tranquil voice, like she was talking to herself, "This time, you even played with Wu Ao Ran until he died. Everyone has a whole new level of respect for you! It looks like you a have spring under your feet that constantly scares people to death!"
Su Ke rubbed his head with embarra.s.sment as he agreed with her, "En!"
He didn't know when it started, but his life has already experienced huge b.u.mps.
At this moment, Liu Fei Hong finally turned around. She had thick eyebrows, a twinkle in her eyes, and an elusive smile on the corner of her mouth as she exclaimed, "Alright, you can relax! Your matter has already been concluded!"
"Has it really been concluded?"
The solution that Su Ke had been waiting for finally appeared. He was surprisingly quite dazzled, so he subconsciously asked that question, just to get a more concrete answer.
Liu Fei Hong threw the cigarette in her hand onto the floor and violently crushed it under her foot.
"Nowadays, it's way too easy to make someone completely disappear. There's so much construction work going on, how many lives do random cement mixers carry?"
"Hu!" Su Ke took a deep breath and thought about the first time he met Liu Fei Hong.
He then thought about the scene of cement fusing together with a dead body and his mood soured. He paused for a moment before he continued, "Sister Fei Hong, truly, thank you!"
"You more or less cut off an arm of the two Lang brothers, helping me out!"
Liu Fei Hong said, as she took out a cigarette from her pocket, and with a bang, an azure spark jumped out from a lighter, dazzling him.
"Sister Fei Hong, you're not going to ask me what happened?"
Su Ke understood that if he just glossed over the whole situation, Liu Fei Hong might not say anything about it, but it was inevitable that the both of them might distance themselves from each other, and after helping her out with such a big problem and not gaining any recognition in the process, it was hard to feel happy.
Liu Fei Hong's eyes shone as she lifted her head to look at Su Ke, her expression softening as she asked, "Eh? Is it convenient for you to say?"
"Ai! Sister Fei Hong! Honestly, I myself am not sure how things turned out like this. That evening, I just left Fang Fei Yi Ren and was on my way home when I felt a presence behind me. I didn't care about it at first since there were so many people walking the same way as me, but after a while, I felt something different with this one!"
Truthfully speaking, Su Ke didn't want to tell anyone the truth of the whole situation, but his innocent expression, on the contrary, would cause people to actually doubt his innocence in the matter.
"You already know what happened next. After walking to the plaza square, he pulled out a dagger and seemed ready to take my life, so I had no choice but to defend as if my life depended on it. In the end… he lost!"
"Don't tell me this was because of Luo Fei Yan?" Liu Fei Hong was somewhat acquainted with Luo Fei Yan, and she thought about what she had said before; Wu Yi Ren and Lang Ming harbored malicious intentions to either herself or her shop, and this time it looked like they were trying to kill someone to send a message, perhaps to make Luo Fei Yan submit?
That Wu Ao Ran should not have tried to go after Su Ke if he had just wanted to scare him.
It seemed that his death was somewhat unjustified!
Upon hearing that Liu Fei Hong had already thought of a good excuse for him, Su Ke naturally didn't have to say anything else, and as he adopted a thoughtful expression as he nodded his head, she suddenly asked, "Who else knows?"
"Sister Fei Hong, I really don't know how to thank you! I was being really foolish that time and my mind went blank. I didn't know what to do afterwards, but thankfully I had you!"
Su Ke's words sounded genuine and from the heart.
"There's no need to be so formal, this is all I could you with! Watching a man constantly growing to great heights is also a pleasure! I have a feeling that you are just like Ai Lian!"
As Liu Fei Hong said this, she seemed to have some indescribable grief.
"Ai Lian?"
Su Ke's heart roused. He had heard Liu Fei Hong mention this name before, and if his memory is correct, that was her man. The man that brought her to flee to the other end of the world, a person who relied on his own two hands to build a vast world in the south, only to die an untimely death.
With no prior indication, Liu Fei Hong smiled sweetly and copied Luo Fei Yang's speech, "Now it's as if there's a plan forming! Little brother Su Ke, what do you think about me raising a Shota?"
Unexpectedly, for the first time, she took advantage of Su Ke.
