This was a feeling she had long since lost. The snobbery of the family and the hypocrisy of society often made her disgusted and tired. She felt the innocence with Xi Zisi, and now she felt the long-lost warmth with this man.
As if he felt that she was looking at him, Bai Qiandao turned around and saw her dreaming eyes. He was slightly startled and said with a smile: "It'll be fine later. You can get up."
"Egg bread and malt sauce, can you make these too?" Zhao Linglan asked in surprise as she smelled the fragrant smell.
"Yes! It costs more to buy these, so it's better to make them yourself hygienic. This is breakfast for my sister and I every day. I have been making it for more than ten years."
Zhao Linglan tasted the egg bread and praised it repeatedly. She took another sip of the malt juice and praised it even more.
Looking at the sunny man beside her again, her eyes gradually became gentle, and without even knowing it, a trace of her heartstrings was unknowingly plucked.
"You seem to have changed!" Bai Qiandao said as the two sat on chairs, bathing in the afterglow of the setting sun.
"Have I changed? Why?" Zhao Linglan asked in surprise.
"She's become cute!" Bai Qiandao said sincerely. She and Zhao Linglan had nothing to do that day, so they just ate, drank and chatted together. She no longer pretended to be reserved, she seemed to have released her nature, and gradually showed her cute side.
"You seem to have changed too!" Zhao Linglan smiled sweetly at him.
"Why have I changed?" Bai Qiandao asked with a smile.
"Becoming more and more manly!"
"In your mind, what kind of man am I?" Bai Qiandao asked again.
"Men are usually selfish and tactful, reserved and solid, simple and gentle, rude and bold. You... have them all, showing off your changeable personality at any time."
"Ah? Do I have one?"
"Yes, it's natural, without reservation, you are a transparent person."
"Is this a compliment to me?"
Zhao Linglan smiled and said, "I'm praising you. I've met too many people with profound personalities, but you are different. You do whatever you want, which is also enviable."
Bai Qiandao liked hearing this, but another question came to his mind. The system tasks stipulated that he had a domineering personality, and he didn't abide by it, but showed his true nature. Will he be punished again?
What was he thinking, what was coming, a sudden pain in his heart made him hold his chest, sweat dripping down his face.
"What's wrong with you?" Zhao Linglan stood up in surprise and supported Bai Qiandao who was about to fall.
"It's okay, it's okay... I want to call... Qianli Tong..."
Bai Qiandao took out Qianli Tong with trembling hands and dialed Long Yekuang's number. The call was connected after a few seconds.
"Why is the answer so slow? You are irresponsible in your work, passive and slow in your work. The imperial government does not pay you a salary to do nothing. From now on, when I call you Qianli Tong, you must get through immediately. Do you understand?" Bai Qiandao said , the pain disappeared instantly, and it turned out that this trick still worked.
Long Yekuang was eating dinner when he choked angrily at these words, his face turned red and he coughed endlessly.
Bai Qiandao, you poor thing who killed a thousand swords, where did you get angry and come to me to vent? Am I really your victim?
Bai Qiandao didn't wait for her to respond, immediately hung up, grinned, and treated her domineeringly, which would probably last a day or two!
Then he looked at Zhao Linglan, who was looking at him in surprise, and said with a smile: "It's okay, it's an old problem. After getting a Qianli Tong, the qi and blood will be smooth, and the whole body will feel better!"
"Who is the other party?" Zhao Linglan asked in confusion.
"My very own receiving bag."
"You just showed your domineering character again, but it's unnatural."
"I did it on purpose. Of course it's unnatural. This is not my character, but... at this stage, I must often be domineering. This is... obsession. Only in this way can I save my life."
"Ah? Why?" Zhao Linglan asked in surprise.
"I was cursed..." Bai Qiandao said, including that he could not be rich, but did not mention that he was a psychic or a magician. He felt it was unnecessary, and Zhao Linglan was surprised.
"This...curse of fate...are you sure it's not a curse from a demon?"
"No, it's fate... I can't say the specifics, it's my secret."
It was hard for Zhao Linglan to believe it, but it seemed that he looked desolate now, which was obviously tormenting him.
The bell rang. Bai Qiandao looked at it and hung up. It was Long Yechuang calling.
"You won't answer?" Zhao Linglan asked.
"No, I don't want to be someone else's victim." Bai Qiandao said with a smile.
Long Yekuang called him three times, but Bai Qiandao didn't answer. His chest was shaking with anger, and he sent a text message to scold him, but he didn't know that he was laughing slyly from far away.
The speed car landed in a small town, where you could sleep and eat. Bai Qiandao could also do it. The key was that Zhao Linglan didn't prepare the ingredients and used them up in one meal at noon.
The town is not big, with a population of hundreds of thousands. It is not like the Piaoxiang Imperial City, which is full of high-rise buildings. There are more multi-story buildings and some luxurious villas. As long as the rich people can afford to buy a villa, most of them will buy properties outside the imperial capital circle and go on vacation in their spare time.
The Zhao family is engaged in construction and has its own real estate in many places. However, this area was not developed by the Zhao family, and no one has purchased real estate here.
Zhao Linglan and Bai Qiandao went to the supermarket to buy some ingredients, and then went to a hotel to dine.
Not to mention, the two of them walked together, talked and laughed, went to the supermarket, and walked to the hotel side by side. They looked like a couple. Bai Qiandao didn't look bad after a deep facial.
Zhao Linglan ordered a bottle of high-end Huaqiong, which is a favorite drink of people in the Five Elements Alliance. It can not only clear the veins, relieve heat, improve gastrointestinal metabolism, promote sleep, etc., but also has a strange floral flavor, and the alcohol content is only 100%. Fifth, at least with Bai Qiandao's alcohol capacity, he would have no problem drinking two kilograms of it.
While eating and drinking, we chatted. Although we had only known each other for two days, we became more and more interested in each other as we chatted.
The main reason is that Zhao Linglan has no airs. A top socialite is different from some domineering rich girls. She knows how to speak, gives people the feeling of spring breeze, and occasionally plays tricks.
After finishing their meal happily, the two of them walked out and walked in the direction of the car, enjoying the scenery of the town along the way.
The distance was not long, only three hundred meters. In fact, the hotel had a parking lot, and the two of them parked there tacitly, just to take a walk under the moonlight.
The moon is bright and the stars are sparse, and the soft moonlight pours down, covering everything, reflecting the red and green lights, turning into colorful lights and swaying.
In the distance are thousands of lights, there are only a few stars in the sky, and the ground is dotted with stars.
The town is not quiet. There are passers-by walking slowly and talking to each other. Somewhere there is a group of women dancing to the music. There are roadside stalls selling food on the street. There are shouts and the smell of barbecue is faint. It came, quite tempting.
This is the fireworks of the world, which dispels the barriers between people, brings a bit of vicissitudes and antiquity, and contains the charm of inheritance in the world.
There is no such scene in Piaoxiang Imperial City. The management there is very strict, there are no roadside stalls, and loud noises are prohibited. People are like walking corpses, walking busily. Although the material life is correspondingly better, the spiritual outlook is far inferior.
The civilians here may only get a salary of 30,000 to 40,000 yuan a year, but the prices are low, there are no more restrictions, and they can live more freely.
"Are the children of rich families interested in fireworks on earth?" Bai Qiandao asked.
"There should be some people who are used to enjoying wealth and wealth, and will be full of curiosity about the life at the bottom. At least what I care about is a more fulfilling life. The purpose of the family is to make money, and making the family business prosperous is my goal."
"Is this why you are a top socialite?"
"Not entirely. Although I am working hard for my family, I don't like a life of intrigues with others. I just like to be busy working and watch the business empire building that I have a hand in building rise one after another."
"Okay! You are a workaholic. The Zhao family is already very rich. You don't have to go to Tianque and deal with a group of men!"
"In business, connections are indispensable. Although I hate these things in my heart, I have to do it."
Bai Qiandao had nothing to say about this. This was her way of life and she couldn't control it.
"Wait..." Bai Qiandao took her hand and looked ahead warily.
There were a few men walking around like zombies. They didn't feel anything if they knocked someone over. Their eyes were shining black under the moonlight.
"What's wrong?" Zhao Linglan's eyes were not as good as his, and she only saw a few figures.
"Something's wrong, those people... seem to be possessed by demons." Bai Qiandao felt a chill go down his spine. There must be demons here!
Demons, there are a huge number of demons, but in theory, demons with a small number are the most terrifying. Demonizing humans is the primary ability of a special type of demon among them.
Demons are born in filth. This filth includes the darkness of human souls to the extreme. If demons are born in the heart, they become human demons.
Human demons are very rare, and real demons can come from all kinds of places. Some extremely filthy places are likely to have demons.
Therefore, the human world is very hygienic. Just like this small town, the streets are very clean and garbage is disposed of in a timely manner.
Of course, even if a mountain of garbage is piled up, a demon may not be born, but there is a chance that the birth of a demon will cause great harm to the world, even more than a demon.
Nowadays, some of the demons in the human world are the offspring of demons and humans, commonly known as half-demon. They are distinguished from human demons who are purely human beings whose hearts have been darkened.
Since there are half-demon people, there are also half-demon people, and there are many of them. These are not pure demons. Once discovered, they will disappear mysteriously.
Half-demon are very scary and are usually killed. However, most of the half-demon found are missing. There are different opinions on the Internet, but there is no confirmation.
Bai Qiandao's life practice has a high probability of becoming a demon. This is when the mind turns into a human demon. Fortunately, it is purified by the lotus magic.
Real old demons are just like old demons. Most of them practice deep in the mountains and old forests in the land of alienation, and they don't like the fireworks of the human world.
According to legend, demons were originally slaves of gods. Because they were unwilling to serve and obey gods, they transformed into demons.
This is just a legend. In human perception, God does not exist.
"Demon..." Zhao Linglan covered her mouth, horrified, and asked: "Is there a demon here?"
"There should be. Six people were transformed into demons. The magic power of this demon is acceptable." Bai Qiandao frowned and looked around, trying to find the traces of the demon.
