The sickly one in F4 was the group's darling.

The wind howled along the mountain road, and the engines of two sports cars approached from afar, their roars accompanied by loud car radio music, shaking the withered leaves of camphor trees along the roadside to the ground.

Leading the way was a champagne-colored two-seater supercar with the top down, and the car stereo was playing a high-energy electronic song.

The young man in the driver's seat had one hand on the steering wheel and the other holding an e-cigarette. His sleeve was rolled up to his forearm, revealing a section of his tanned wrist.

The woman in the passenger seat was wearing only a sequined halter dress in the freezing cold, with sunglasses pushed up to her forehead. She swayed her shoulders to the rhythm of the music, laughing so hard she almost fell over.

A silver-gray supercar followed closely behind, and the young man driving it whistled at the car in front: "Young Master Zhou, your car's acceleration is amazing! Last time on the coastal highway, it reached 200 km/h, the acceleration was incredible, it was like taking off!"

Zhou Shao lazily exhaled a puff of smoke, a smirk playing on his lips: "It's nothing. I'll take you guys to try out my new limited edition car another day. It can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in under three seconds. Don't be scared out of your wits then."

"Oh, it's a deal then, no backing out!" The woman in the passenger seat turned back and gave Young Master Xu a wink, her voice shrill and seductive, "Young Master Xu, did you hear that? Be my witness, Young Master Zhou can't go back on his word!"

Xu Shao chuckled and honked the horn: "It's being recorded. If he changes his mind, we'll expose him in the group chat. By the way, is Third Young Master coming today? It's been so long since I've seen him."

"Young Master will definitely be here," Zhou Shao put the e-cigarette back in his mouth and smiled meaningfully. "It's the Bai family's place. If he doesn't show up, who will? Everyone in the group is here tonight. Let's have a good time. Be smart, don't be like last time. You all know what kind of temper Young Master has."

Xu Shao said solemnly, "Absolutely." He paused, then added, his tone half respectful and half obsequious, "To be able to work with Third Young Master, countless people would kill for it."

The woman in the passenger seat quickly turned her head and echoed, "Third Young Master is quite loyal to his own people. Last time at the banquet in Nan'an, someone caused trouble, and Third Young Master settled it with just one phone call."

The two cars turned the corner one after the other, and their speeds slowed down simultaneously.

The woman in the passenger seat was the first to see Bai Ci ahead.

She pulled her sunglasses down and burst out laughing: "Hey, Zhou Shao, look! Someone's actually hiking up the mountain, and their hoodie even has a tiger printed on the back?"

Zhou Shao glanced casually at the roadside, his gaze lingering for a moment on the "Tiger Descending the Mountain" outfit. He smiled and said, "This outfit is quite unique. A tiger paired with a dinosaur, which brand's runway piece is this? I need to call my stylist and do this next season."

The woman casually joked, "This is the Bai family's private path; ordinary people never walk here. There's no bus stop here. Should we ask? You look rather pitiful."

The car slowly slowed down and approached Bai Ci.

Bai Ci had just taken off his jacket and tied it around his waist. After climbing the mountain for more than an hour, his back was already soaked with sweat, but the mountain breeze actually made him feel cooler. The hoodie he was wearing, with a fierce tiger "glaring" on the back, had a more casual feel than the cold jacket.

The woman in the passenger seat laughed even harder, resting her chin on her hand, her tone carrying a condescending "kindness": "Young man, are you tired? It'll take another hour to walk up this mountain. There's an empty seat in the car behind us, would you like a ride?"

The silver-gray supercar behind them followed closely. Xu Shao peeked at Bai Ci, a smirk playing on his lips: "Yo, Young Master Zhou, who is this?"

"I don't know them," Zhou Shao shrugged, his tone full of mockery. "I saw they were having trouble walking and wanted to do a good deed like Lei Feng. But they didn't appreciate it."

"Unappreciative?"

Xu Shao raised an eyebrow, sizing up Bai Ci, who was dressed in inexpensive clothes. He drawled out his words, with a casual, almost condescending tone: "Dude, I have an empty seat next to me in my car. I'll give you a free ride, just to make friends. Are you sure you don't want a seat?"

Bai Ci glanced up at the bustling and luxurious scene inside the car, her face showing no envy or fear, but rather an aloofness that kept strangers at bay.

"Thank you, no need."

His tone was light and crisp, without the slightest hesitation or polite pretense. After speaking, he turned and continued walking forward.

Zhou Shao was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously glanced at Xu Shao.

Xu Shao was also stunned, clearly not expecting that an ordinary-looking hiking boy would dare to refuse them so decisively, without even a polite "no need to trouble yourself".

The air was silent for a moment.

"Tsk." Young Master Zhou shook his head with a smile. "Alright, that's got personality."

Xiaoqi thought angrily, "They're just doing this for fun. Offering you a ride out of 'kindness' is considered charity, but refusing will only get you labeled as tactless."

Zhou Shao stepped on the gas, and the champagne-colored supercar sped away first.

Xu Shao didn't follow immediately. Instead, he stared at Bai Ci's back for two seconds and curled his lips into a smile.

"You've got quite a temper, haven't you?"

He scoffed and slammed on the gas pedal.

The silver-gray supercar accelerated suddenly, its exhaust pipe emitting a piercing roar as it whizzed past Bai Ci.

The wind generated by the car's speed suddenly lifted the hem of his hoodie, and exhaust fumes mixed with the smell of burning rubber enveloped him.

Xu Shao stretched a hand out of the car window and lazily waved it towards the back, his expression full of mockery.

Bai Ci stopped, glanced at her clothes, and raised her hand to smooth out the fluttering hem.

"It was intentional!" Xiao Qi completely lost her temper. "It was absolutely intentional! This road is so wide, and he insisted on pressing the gas pedal right next to you! He even waited for the car in front to leave before revving the engine. It was all pre-arranged! One played the good cop, the other the bad cop, and when he was rejected, he resorted to underhanded tactics. It's too much!"

"I'm going to permanently blacklist these two people in 'Offending Bai Bai'! Never to be removed!"

"Alright." Bai Ci patted her clothes and continued walking.

Are you really not angry?

"Getting angry won't help," Bai Ci said softly. "You've remembered all of this for me; it seems you've been planning to teach them a lesson for a while now."

Xiaoqi's thoughts were exposed, and her tone instantly softened, tinged with embarrassment: "N-no way!"

Then he remarked with emotion, "Bai Bai, you're becoming more and more insightful and composed. You're so mature that you don't seem like a temperamental little rabbit at all."

"I'm not a rabbit who only throws tantrums," Bai Ci said calmly. "It's not worth getting upset over trivial matters and taking them to heart."

"Moreover, I've figured something out."

"What is it?"

"These people only bully the weak because they think others are nothing, but they will eventually learn that they will also run into obstacles."

Xiao Qi was silent for a moment, then asked, "Bai Bai, does that count as making a threat?"

"I suppose so," Bai Ci said casually.

"I knew it!" Xiaoqi's voice instantly filled with relief and pride. "I thought you would just keep giving in, but it turns out you've been holding a grudge all along!"

Bai Ci looked at the road ahead, his gaze falling on the fierce and sharp white falcon totem on the lamppost, and suddenly remembered the first phone call he received when he first arrived in this world.

Bai Yanzhi's voice was icy cold, his first words being "Dress more presentably," without any address or greeting, as if he were giving an order to a subordinate.

The white falcon on the pillar, with its outstretched wings, is adorned with sharp talons, a sword, and a shield, exuding ferocity and power.

"Xiao Qi".

"exist."

"Are all the Bai family members like this white falcon?"

Xiaoqi paused for a moment, then couldn't help but laugh: "Are you talking about that bird?"

"Um."

"They all look like normal people, not birds! But their personalities are exactly the same. The Bai brothers are all like white falcons, arrogant, domineering, possessive, territorial, ruthless and decisive, and exude a domineering aura. In some ways, they are quite similar."

Bai Ci stared at the cold, austere totem, secretly making up his mind.

"Xiao Qi".

"Um?"

"I don't want to be a white falcon," Bai Ci said, "but I also don't want to be a forgotten, invisible person like the original owner of this body."
