"Lihua, you're out?" Xue Tao was startled, but showed a look of surprise and went up to hug Zhao Lihua.
Li Yang was startled. This behavior of yours is too much. Why are you suddenly being so affectionate? There's definitely something fishy going on!
Li Yang had naturally noticed Zhao Lihua's appearance and her slow approach, but he maliciously pretended not to know.
Therefore, the scene just now occurred.
Zhao Lihua's face was strangely pale, and her eyes flashed with emptiness. When Xue Tao hugged her so affectionately, a strange light flashed in her eyes. She wrinkled her pretty nose and said reproachfully, "You're so slow to bring me the bathrobe! My ankles are swollen from waiting!"
She was obviously exaggerating, but Xue Tao played along by ruffling her hair and saying affectionately, "Oh, then let your auntie ruffle your hair!"
"No! Let him massage you! This guy is never satisfied! Let him be your laborer!" Zhao Lihua said, pointing at Li Yang's nose.
"You guys! Humph!" Xue Tao glared at Zhao Lihua with affection, then turned back to give Li Yang a warning look before walking out of the restaurant.
"Huh? What's that smell?" Zhao Lihua wrinkled her nose and smelled it as if nothing was wrong.
"Really? Is it the smell of your shower gel?" Li Yang glanced at the water stains on the ground, casually stepped on them to wipe them clean, and said nonchalantly.
"Hmph! Nonsense! I'm ignoring you! Going to sleep!" Zhao Lihua pushed Li Yang, turned around, and quickly left the restaurant, almost fleeing in panic.
Li Yang took a breath. Whew, he'd succeeded in the first step. Since Zhao Lihua didn't have a huge reaction, she was probably having trouble accepting it right away, but she'd likely understand soon, right?
Her love for Li Yang is still very deep. Li Yang has just seen through her heart, so he is confident about it.
That night, Li Yang slept alone in his hotel room. The next day, he took leave from class and went to Xue Tao's company. He retrieved the dazzling imperial green jade from the bank and placed it in the company's treasure room.
After Li Yang made some meticulous arrangements, he dismissed everyone, each carrying two bottles of Red Star Erguotou and a dish of peanuts, and began to enjoy himself in the treasure room, quietly waiting for the internationally renowned phantom thief DARK.
Chapter 494: Sleeping Together
Night fell before we knew it. The moon was indeed very round, as round as a glutinous rice ball, and very bright, so bright that people dared not look directly at it.
Li Yang sat under the moonlight by the window, the curtains of the French windows all drawn. He sat there, sipping his liquor, making a few slurping noises to indicate how strong and pungent it was. Indeed, Erguotou, commonly known as Shaodaozi, is also known as "Shaodaozi" and there is a classic poem that says, "Since ancient times, talented people have regretted their actions for a thousand years, but now Erguotou is a sweet liquor."
Drinking Erguotou and eating peanuts is indeed one of life's great pleasures, especially under such a moonlit night. It's a pity that I'm all alone, with no beauty in my arms and no friends by my side.
But he didn't feel lonely at all; on the contrary, he was quite content and enjoyed his drink.
But when he had drunk half of a bottle of Erguotou, he suddenly stopped drinking. Instead, he put down his glass, took out a new glass, slowly filled it, and then filled his own glass as well.
It was placed strangely on the windowsill, facing the bright moonlight and the empty void outside, and it smiled eerily, saying, "All who come are guests! Why remain a mere bystander? Why not come down and have a drink with us?"
If anyone were in the treasure room, they would think Li Yang had gone mad, or that he was talking to ghosts and gods, and they would be terrified.
If it were a woman, she would definitely be so frightened that her legs would tremble, and she would experience multiple orgasms!
However, just as Li Yang finished speaking, a dark shadow flashed past the door, and the window trembled. For some reason, the previously tightly sealed window suddenly opened.
A figure darted in like a large bird. In the moonlight, the figure remained very dark, almost like a ghost.
However, Li Yang's eyesight was too good; not to mention the bright moonlight, he could almost see the person clearly even in the dark.
This person is not a ghost, but is dressed entirely in black, even with a black cloth covering his face, so you can't see his features clearly. Only his eyes are bright like light bulbs, and his temples are bulging high.
Master!
This is Li Yang's conclusion.
The man stared intently at Li Yang, his bright eyes shining even brighter, a hint of a smile flashing across them. Without a word, he picked up his wine glass and downed it in one gulp. Then, quite consciously, he picked up a peanut with his thumb, index finger, and middle finger and popped it into his mouth, chewing it with a crunching sound.
“Not bad—you really know how to enjoy yourself!” the man in black exclaimed.
“You’re not DARK.” Li Yang laughed, picked up his glass and drank it all in one gulp, looking quite pleased with himself.
He was naturally pleased that the visitor was a friend, not an enemy.
"Of course I'm not that kind of guy!" The man in black continued pouring his wine and eating peanuts.
"Then who are you?" Li Yang, like him, was drinking and eating peanuts.
"Guess?" The man in black suddenly became mysterious, narrowing his eyes.
"You know him?" Li Yang smiled, showing no anger whatsoever.
"Of course I know that bitch!" The man in black seemed to sneer, but his specific actions were not visible.
"It seems you two have a good relationship!" Li Yang said.
"Not bad. I often ruin his plans!" The man in black smiled slyly, his eyes narrowed like crescent moons.
"So you came here today just to ruin his plans?" Li Yang was even happier. With a helper, there was no reason not to be happy, especially one who knew the enemy very well.
"Almost!" the man in black nodded.
"Almost? Is there anything else?" Li Yang asked with a slight smile.
"Of course!"
"What's the matter?" Li Yang asked.
"Do you really want to know?" The man in black suddenly stopped drinking and looked at Li Yang seriously.
"Say what you want to say!" Li Yang said calmly.
While it's often best not to pry into matters of the martial world, he's no longer afraid of trouble. This person has suddenly appeared at Ou Jinli Ren's place; if he doesn't thoroughly investigate and question him, he'll be letting Xue Tao down, and also letting himself down.
"It seems you really want to know, so I have no choice but to tell you! I have another purpose for coming here tonight—to make a friend!" The man in black's words were peculiar. Coming out at night specifically to make a friend? What kind of friend? Who was he?
