Oh no! My online romance partner is actually a Miao holy maiden!

Bai Ye was so startled that her hand trembled, and she almost dropped her phone.

He quickly locked his phone and put it aside.

As he stepped on the gas, he turned around and chuckled sheepishly, "No, bro, I was just thinking about the speed limit on the outer ring elevated highway. I'm just adjusting the navigation. Let's go, let's go!"

The car slowly started and slid into the completely blocked torrent.

At that moment, amidst the endless stream of cars and the piercing honking of horns, Xu Yi was staring intently at the half-string of license plate numbers sent by Bai Ye.

"Where is the Jiang G70? Holy crap, which one is it?!"

Xu Yi was so anxious that he cursed loudly, and sweat dripped down his forehead and into his eyes, making him rub them constantly.

The gas station at the north gate of Jiangda University during this Mid-Autumn Festival holiday was practically a large-scale gathering for road rage sufferers.

Looking around, there were at least a dozen black cars parked there.

The front of the car was right next to the rear, making it impossible to tell which one was which.

As for that unlucky Bai Laosan, he lost contact with the other person after only getting halfway through his sentence.

Not even a suffix number was left.

"Beep! Beep!!"

A large truck next to them suddenly honked its horn, making Xu Yi's eardrums ache.

Ignoring the burning pain in her shoulder, Xu Yi frantically weaved through the gaps in the traffic.

Just as he passed a red car.

A water truck passed by on the right.

Instantly, a dense mist of water swept over us.

Holy crap!

Xu Yi instinctively jumped back, but his face was still instantly covered in water mist.

After he hastily wiped the water droplets from his face, his vision was completely blocked for a few seconds.

And it was those crucial few seconds.

Bai Ye's black minivan passed the intersection in front of Xu Yi in an extremely discreet manner, just on the other side of the water truck.

Inside the train carriage.

Shiro gripped the steering wheel tightly with both hands and subconsciously glanced out the left window.

With just one glance, his eyelids twitched violently.

Through the spray of water from the sprinkler truck, he could clearly see Xu Yi, that pretty boy.

The kid's clothes were mostly soaked, and his hair was a complete mess.

Shiro's throat tightened, and he was about to instinctively step on the brakes.

"Drive carefully, talk less, and watch less."

From behind, Bai Que's warning voice suddenly drifted over.

Bai Ye shrank his neck and instantly became obedient.

In the back seat.

Bai Ling'er was huddled inside the chair.

She looked out the window.

But just then, a bus with a huge "GG" sign happened to pass by the car window.

The massive vehicle completely blocked the view to the right.

We just missed it.

Bai Ye stepped on the gas, and the car slid into the ramp of the outer ring elevated road.

Its gliding speed increased instantly, and it disappeared into the rolling traffic in just a few breaths.

Xu Yi finally emerged onto the main street.

He wiped the water from his face; his clothes were soaking wet and clung to his body.

The cold water stung his shoulder wound, causing him to gasp in pain.

When he looked around, all he could see at the gate was thick exhaust fumes; there was no trace of the Jiang G70.

Empty.

"Ling'er?"

Xu Yi squatted down by the roadside, exhausted, her right hand gripping her phone tightly.

He sent another message to Bai Ye, but received no response.

A bad feeling welled up inside him.

Was it ultimately too late?

At that moment, a sense of powerlessness and anger intertwined, making him wish he could punch the green belt next to him with a right hook on the spot.

-

A black minivan sped along the overpass.

As we got further and further away from Jiangcheng city, the air pressure inside the car decreased.

Bai Ling'er slowly raised her head.

She stared intently at Bai Que's profile. "Big brother, you think you've won, right?"

Bai Que slowly opened his eyes, his face expressionless: "I'm just doing what I should do. It's only natural for the Holy Maiden to return to the mountain."

"Hehe... Hahahaha..."

Bai Ling'er suddenly chuckled softly.

Shirayuki, who was driving in the front seat, jerked his hand and suddenly drew a small S-shape on the lane.

"Little sister, you...you shouldn't laugh like that, it's making me feel uneasy."

Bai Ye felt a chill run down his spine; he knew all too well his little sister's condition.

"Okay, I'll go back with you. Don't regret it!"

Bai Ling'er said coldly.

The laughter in the carriage stopped abruptly.

Bai Ling'er turned her head to look out the car window, watching the elevated guardrail recede into the distance, her eyes completely devoid of warmth.

Bai Que frowned even more as he looked at his younger sister, but he didn't say anything more.

He didn't care about the process as long as he could bring the person back to the village.

In his view, time would fade all memories of the place below the mountain, and the traces of the Han boy would ultimately remain only in memory.

……

North Gate of Jiangnan University.

Xu Yi squatted on the curb, staring blankly.

"call……"

Xu Yi let out a long breath, looked at the unresponsive WeChat interface on his phone, and shook his head in frustration.

He stood up; the mud on his clothes was starting to dry and felt extremely uncomfortable sticking to his skin.

He did not try to take a taxi to chase after him.

They also lacked direction and goals.

He simply turned around and walked back step by step.

He returned to his apartment, took a cold shower, changed into clean clothes, and then sat on the sofa in a daze.

Bai Ling'er is all I can think about...

Xu Yi sat there until four o'clock in the afternoon.

My phone vibrated; it was a call from Xu Qin.

"Is get out of class over? I've already driven to your apartment building. Hurry up and get ready, the Empress Dowager has already prepared all the ingredients for a Manchu Han Imperial Feast at home, just waiting for us to come back and eat!"

Xu Yi took a deep breath and tried to make his voice sound like a normal person: "Okay, I'll go down now."

A moment later, downstairs at the apartment building.

Xu Qin, dressed in casual clothes, was leaning against the car door.

She looked up and saw Xu Yi walking out carrying a small travel bag. Her eyes swept around behind him, and she was immediately stunned.

"What's wrong? Where's Ling'er?"

Xu Qin walked forward, somewhat puzzled, and looked behind Xu Yi.

"Didn't I tell you to bring everyone with you? Why are you alone?"

Xu Yi tossed his travel bag into the trunk with a somewhat heavy motion.

He got into the passenger seat, pulled over and buckled his seatbelt. "Ling'er went back with her brother."

Xu Yi didn't say anything more, and turned his head to look out the window.

"Huh? You went back?"

Xu Qin got into the driver's seat and started the car. Although she was a little disappointed when she heard this, she didn't think much of it.

She turned the steering wheel into the main road with one hand.

He said:

"That's true, it's the Mid-Autumn Festival after all. It's only right that she goes back to spend time with her family. But really, why didn't you tell me beforehand? I could have prepared some Jiangcheng specialties for Ling'er to take back. We've fallen behind in terms of etiquette this time."

This was something she hadn't expected; she only wanted to take Ling'er back.

Xu Yi didn't reply, but simply closed her eyes slightly and hummed in response.

Xu Qin keenly sensed that something was wrong.

Something's not right with this kid.

"What's wrong with you today?"
