Chapter 169: Chapter 169: The Last Day Tycoon (34)

“There are new clothes here, look, look how nice this one is.”

“This one looks nice too…”

“This place is really nice.”

A few young men and women walked together on the streets of the base, their eyes filled with envy for it.

“Lu Ran…”

In the crowd, a girl quietly called out.

The group of young men and women suddenly fell silent, looking in the direction the girl was looking.

A young man leaned against the car door, his head lowered, a beige hat perched on his head.

The hat was very cute, adding a touch of adorableness to the first impression of the young man.

He wore a white shirt, casually tucked at one corner into his trousers, with casual pants and white sneakers that seemed to glow softly, as if he were a beautiful youth who had just walked out of a campus.

His fair and slender hand rested on the rearview mirror, radiating an air of finesse throughout his body.

While the people in the base were clean, compared to the young man before them, there was a world of difference.

He was truly clean and bright.

He was downright eye-catching.

Lu Ran obviously noticed the people here too, and he glanced in this direction.

Encountering the people who had driven him out in the past, Lu Ran felt very calm.

As if he had met someone unimportant.

He even showed a bit of a smile.

“Lu Ran,” the girl ran over from the crowd: “It’s so good that you’re okay, I…”

A girl with a strong presence stood between her and Lu Ran, spreading a chill that made the first girl stop talking unwillingly.

Lu Ran naturally placed his hand on Chuzheng’s waist, bent slightly forward, and rested his chin on her shoulder.

“Are you done?”

“Yeah.” Chuzheng glanced at the girl opposite: “Do you know her?”

“An old classmate.”

“Want to talk?”

“No need,” the young man shook his head, endearment in his tone: “Not close.”

The words ‘not close’ rooted the girl to the spot, her face gradually paling.

The rest of the people had expressions of dismay, yet no one dared to speak.

They were the ones who had driven him out.

And now he was living better than all of them.

This disparity was enough to slap their faces.

“Let’s go then.” Chuzheng opened the car door.

Lu Ran let go of Chuzheng and got into the car. As the window slowly lowered, the young man poked his head out of it.

Fair fingers tapped the rim of his hat, revealing those beautiful eyes.

“Thank you for driving me out.”

Lu Ran was truly grateful to them.

But the girl staggered, her legs gone weak.

“Will Lu Ran take revenge on us?”

After a while, someone murmured.

“We had no choice back then! Who told him he got bitten?” A boy argued, his neck stiff.

“But we did drive him out, and now he’s not dead. He might have even awakened a Special Ability.”

“What if he really takes revenge on us?”

“I see his status here seems quite high.”

Just now, many people were sizing him up but were too afraid to approach.

And when the car left, everyone made way.

“We… should leave this place.”

–

Chuzheng drove the car back to their place, and Lu Ran suddenly spoke: “I actually hated them, at the time I left.”

“Then I’ll take care of them.”

Lu Ran shook his head: “No need.”

He looked into the void, speaking slowly: “When I was very young, my mother passed away, and I lived with my father.”

“My father wasn’t good to me. He drank often, and every time he got drunk, he would beat me.”

“I couldn’t cry, because if I did, he would hit me even harder. I lived through many years like that, many times I thought I would be beaten to death.”

“But I’m lucky, I never died. However, he got hooked on gambling again…”

“I started working when I was in elementary school, I was too young, many shops wouldn’t take me.”

“I had to do a lot of jobs to save up for my tuition and living expenses.”

“But he didn’t care about that at all, he would hit me when he lost in gambling, or when he was drunk…”

“Borrowing from loan sharks and unable to pay back, we lost the house to mortgage, and ended up on the streets, yet he claimed it was my fault.”

The youth paused, his eyes dimming. He bit his lower lip, took a deep breath, and continued.

“Once, when he had drunk a lot, I couldn’t endure this life anymore, so, I gave him more to drink… and he died.”

“He was always like that, no one suspected me, they sent me to a community orphanage.”

“The orphanage wasn’t so great either, it was also filled with coldness, the children’s cliques, and constant scheming.

And the social workers, when in a bad mood, treated the kids even worse.”

Chuzheng pulled him into her embrace: “It’s okay, you have me from now on.”

The boy reached out and hugged her tightly, burying his face in her hair: “You are so good to me.”

From a young age, he had never felt what warmth was.

Every kindness shown to him was strongly purpose-driven.

He could see the true faces beneath their masks.

Hideous and disgusting.

Chuzheng patted the youth’s back: “Mhm.”

The Good Person Card is really pitiful.

This could make up a Cinderella legend.

Wait a second… knowing I’m good to you, don’t you think I’m a good person?

Little liar.

“You have to always be this good to me,” the youth’s voice was muffled: “Otherwise, I’ll be angry.”

Always…

“Okay.”

“We agreed,” the youth murmured softly: “If you break your promise, you will be punished.”

“What punishment?”

The youth held her tight: “You don’t want to know.”

Chuzheng forcibly pulled away, Lu Ran’s whole demeanor was somewhat off, exuding repression.

Chuzheng, pinching his chin, moved in for a kiss, the youth’s breath hitched slightly, the oppressive mood gradually fading away.

Chuzheng’s kisses were always a bit domineering and irresistible.

Just like her.

Unreasonable and stubborn.

But…

He just liked her this way.

–

Dawn was breaking.

Light and shadow fell through the window, fine particles of dust danced in the air.

The youth sat on the messy bed, a look of bewilderment on his handsome face, as if unsure of where he was.

After a moment, the youth blinked, his long, dense eyelashes drooping as he turned to look beside him.

Chuzheng lay on her side, her black hair spreading beneath her, the pale line of her shoulder, the length of her neck.

The youth’s Adam’s apple moved slightly.

He reached out and touched Chuzheng’s arm, the smooth tender skin igniting his somewhat blurred memory.

Chuzheng, deep in sleep, sensed something unusual. Lu Ran had already come in.

The feeling of foreignness and the slight pain from dryness woke Chuzheng up with a bit of irritation: “What are you doing?”

So early in the morning, can’t you let people sleep!

Didn’t I feed you enough last night, you little thing!

Lu Ran’s kiss fell: “I’ve forgotten the feeling from before, can we do it again?”

Though he said that, he wasn’t really asking for her opinion.

Chuzheng had just woken up, her body soft and languid, not really wanting to move.

Thus, Lu Ran was luckily treated to the experience on top.

But as soon as Chuzheng came to, that privilege was quickly revoked.

How could a woman be on the bottom?!

No way!
