  "You must be starving."

  Kuo Yi said with an apologetic tone.

  Tang Xiaolan didn't say a word. She just stared blankly at Guo Yao, and it wasn't until after a while that she managed to suppress her smile. She asked faintly:

  "You're quite free and easy, aren't you? Even having time to think about changing your hairstyle."

  Kuo Yeh shook his wet hair and laughed:

  "Awesome."

  Tang Xiaolan only then noticed that he was drenched from head to toe. She furrowed her brow and said:

  "How did it become like this? Hurry up and take a bath. Don't... hurry up and go."

  Guo Ye handed the rice in his hand to Tang Xiaolan and ran to the bathroom to take a bath. He was a man, not afraid of being peeped at. Tang Xiaolan inadvertently glanced over and saw his robust figure reflected on the glass. She couldn't help but blush and muttered under her breath. She opened the lunchbox, only to find it still steaming hot. Thinking back to his drenched appearance, tears fell involuntarily.

  Kuo Yiwu took a bath as usual. However, after finishing the bath, he found that he didn't bring any spare clothes. He had to trouble Tang Xiaolan to find him some clothes. Tang Xiaolan searched in his bag for half a day and finally found a pair of large shorts and a T-shirt. Kuo Yiwu quickly changed into them, shook his wet hair, and walked towards the balcony. To be honest, he was quite tired that day.

  "Hey, your phone rang today. It rang several times."

  Kuo Yi was taken aback and said:

  "It's impossible. My phone has been turned off all along."

  "You're the one in the bag."

  Kuo Yi picked up his phone and took a look. He only then remembered that it was the fat guy on the plane who had given it to him. There were three missed calls. They were all from the same number. It seemed like the other party was in a hurry. He hesitated for a moment before dialing back.

  The other party answered the phone. A slightly anxious voice said:

  "Is it Xia Dafu? I am Wang Tian Shuai."

  "Oh."

  "That fat guy on the plane."

  "Oh. It's Wang Ge. What's up?"

  Kuo Yeh found it hard to associate the fat guy on the plane with the two words "Tian Shuai". He was excited when Wang Ge called out to Wang Tian Shuai. He laughed and said:

  "Brother, I should have treated you to a meal as soon as you got off the plane. But brother knows you're a busy person. Wanted to find another chance to treat you. Didn't expect someone to beat me to it. Brother, the Jiang family wants to invite you to dinner."

  "The Chiang Family."

  "It was that old man you saved on the plane."

  Kuo Yi suddenly remembered. He recalled that the young man had given him a business card once. The name seemed to be Jiang Youjia. They wanted to invite him to dinner. But how did they find Fatso? As soon as he thought about it, he understood. At the time when Fatso gave him his mobile phone, many people saw it. Looking at the situation back then, the Jiang family shouldn't know Wang Tian Shuai. He didn't know how the Jiang family found him.

  The fat man kept talking incessantly:

  "I thought I recognized that old man at the time. Didn't expect it was him. Haha. Right, where do you live now? They can go pick you up."

  Although Pao Tzu didn't say anything, it seems that the old man's identity is not simple. Otherwise, he wouldn't have found Pao Tzu so easily. Kuo I thought for a moment and said:

  "My schedule is not fixed. They may or may not be able to receive it when they come. Give me the time and place, and if I have time later, I'll go myself."

  Pangzi was taken aback for a moment. Then he readily left his address and phone number with Guo Yao. Afterwards, he said some polite words, no more than inviting him to the best restaurant, meeting the most beautiful Hangzhou girls, etc. Guo Yao put down his phone, secretly thinking to himself as he walked onto the balcony.

  Heavy rain outside. It seems to have no intention of stopping. Although the balcony is facing the window, it's still coming in sideways. Guo Yao opened his cup and turned on his original phone to call Wen Tian.

  It seems like he's been waiting for his call all along. The phone connected as soon as it rang.

  Because he hadn't received Guo Yi's phone call, Wen Tianhe and the others didn't leave either. They continued to guard the Tang family. As soon as the phone rang, Wen Tianhe walked aside and told him about today's events.

  Guo Yi didn't think much of it at first. After all, given Zhu Zi Hao's character, he wouldn't be able to find Tang Xiao Lan, and would likely start by targeting her parents. That's why he had Wen Tian and the others go protect them. However, what happened afterwards was beyond his expectations. Especially regarding Mrs. Tang - this beautiful woman who seemed as gentle as a raindrop, turned out to be a hidden BOSS. This is just too dramatic. Of course, if Old Man Tang were also a hidden BOSS, that would be even more dramatic. But thinking about it, the possibility of that is really not very high.

  Guo Ye briefly told Wen Tian about the situation on this side, but hesitated and still didn't let him tell Tang Xiaolan's parents about it. Although her mother was quite capable, he wasn't sure to what extent she was fierce. Moreover, dealing with Zhu Zihao wasn't just a matter of being able to fight; if her parents were to angrily show up at their doorstep, that would be troublesome.

  He lay on the quilt, tilting his head to look at the heavy rain outside. Occasionally, a car light flashed by, making the rain curtain clearer. This rain was quite timely. I don't know if it's raining in Yangcheng. He turned over and prepared to sleep, but suddenly found Tang Xiaolan staring at him with her face against the window, giving Guo Yao a fright. Guo Yao said discontentedly:

  "What are you doing? It's the middle of the night and you're not sleeping. Trying to scare people to death?"

  Tang Xiaolan suddenly opened the balcony door and walked in. She sat down slowly beside him and said softly:

  "Aren't you going to give me an explanation?"

  Guo Yicong understood. She was talking about how she didn't make a single phone call during her house arrest. He smiled and said:

  "Of course. Of course, I have to explain. But... originally not explaining was because I was afraid you wouldn't believe me. Now not explaining is because there's no time.

When we meet, I'll tell you everything."

  "Why not now."

  "Because I can't control the situation now."

  Kuo Yeh said this with a hint of sadness. The current situation was indeed beyond his control. Although he was in the shadows and Zhu Zi Hao was in the open, their powers were too unevenly matched. If he wasn't careful, he would be doomed. If he died, what would happen to Tang Xiao Lan? Could she still escape Zhu Zi Hao's clutches? He couldn't wait for an opportunity to arise slowly anymore. He had to take the initiative and strike, stirring up the waters here, making Zhu Zi Hao too busy to bother with Tang Xiao Lan, and thus keeping her safe for the time being.

  Tang Xiaolan's tears fell plop-plop. She reached out and grasped Guo Yao's hand, saying in a low voice:

  "I hate you. Did you know?"

  "I know."

  "I'm worried about you. Do you know?"

  Tang Xiaolan burst into tears.

  Kuo Yen was speechless. He wanted to go and wipe away her tears. But ultimately didn't dare to. After a long while, he finally said:

  "It's fine. Worry about me doing what? That Zhu Zihao doesn't even have a crush on me."

  This joke isn't funny at all. Tang Xiaolan leaned gently into his arms. Guo Ye could feel her frail body trembling constantly. He hesitated for a moment before finally placing his hand on her shoulder.

  I hate you. I hate that when I was at my most helpless, you weren't by my side, but instead abandoned me to a distant land, without a care. I've had many dreams where you appear like a hero, defeating all the bad guys and rescuing me. But every time I wake up, it's just an absurd dream. Every time I interact with him, my palms are sweaty. I'm afraid he'll suddenly lose control and become violent... Every time I call my parents, I force a smile on my face. My mom is very perceptive, so it's not easy to deceive her. But sometimes I wish they could sense something was off and find a way to rescue me... I feel so lonely, with no one to talk to about all the things bottled up inside me...

  Tang Xiaolan finally burst into loud sobs. Outside the window, a torrential rain poured down, washing away the woman's cries as well. Guo Yi secretly wiped his eyes and gently wrapped his arms around Tang Xiaolan's slender waist, saying:

  "Sorry. It won't happen again. As long as I'm alive. No one will bully you again."

  Guo Yi didn't like making vows. Whether he could do it or not had nothing to do with making a vow. He suddenly realized that protecting a woman wasn't about having some earth-shattering abilities, but just eight words: Devote yourself wholeheartedly, never leave, never abandon. He used to be too fixated on not having special powers and waiting for her favor, but he never thought about how to change all this. From now on, he wouldn't think that way anymore.

  Tang Xiaolan raised her tearful eyes and said softly:

  "No. I want you to live well. Only by living can you protect me. Right?"

  Guo Yi nodded vigorously. Tears flowed again, however. Tang Xiaolan stretched out her soft small hand to wipe away his tears and said softly:

  "I know you must have your own difficulties that can't be spoken. You don't want to say it, then don't say it. Just take care of yourself and don't make me worry, okay?"

  Guo Yi just nodded vigorously.

  Tang Xiaolan shrugged her shoulders and suddenly said:

  "It's so cold."

  Kuo I hastily said:

  "It's humid on the balcony. Hurry back to your room."

  Tang Xiaolan didn't move. She just looked at him shyly. Guo Ye chuckled and stretched out his hand to pick her up, carrying her into the room. Tang Xiaolan's face turned red, but she actively wrapped her arms around his neck. Guo Ye put her on the bed, pulled over a quilt to cover her, then turned and walked towards the balcony.

  "You, you still want to sleep on the balcony."

  "It's okay. I'm fine. My body is sturdy."

  "No way. You. You can sleep underground."

  Guo Yi turned around and looked at her for a moment. He no longer declined, got up and brought the quilt over to spread it on the floor. Then he lay down. Tang Xiaolan rolled over to the edge of the bed, reached out to hold Guo Yi's hand, and softly chattered about what had happened since they parted ways. Before long, she fell asleep. When daylight broke, Tang Xiaolan was shocked to find herself having rolled onto the floor, resting her head on his arm, lying in Guo Yi's warm embrace...

  Guo Yi slept very soundly. After opening his eyes, he subconsciously glanced at his watch and exclaimed:

  "It's too late."

  "What's late."

  Tang Xiaolan found a comfortable position in his arms and continued to sleep. Guo Yi only then discovered that Tang Xiaolan was actually in his arms. He said with a heroic shortness of breath:

  "It's already late anyway. Doesn't matter if it's a bit later."

  That night, they slept soundly. But someone was not as lucky as them.

  Zhu Zihao went to bed not very late, but he didn't sleep. He was exercising with Long Qi when he received a phone call. Afterwards, Zhu Zihao's brothers, who were usually very proud, quickly retreated. Dog One died, Dog Two also died, along with his many brothers...
