"Tell your bank account number, and I'll transfer the money to you," Su Xiaorou said.
"Money? What money?" Gao Fei was stunned for a mont.
"Without your help, it would have been impossible for to get ten billion, both emotionally and rationally, I should give you half."
"I won't take it."
"Do you think it's too little?"
"It's not that," Gao Fei shook his head, "I didn't save you for the money."
"Gao Fei…" Su Xiaorou was about to speak when Gao Fei interrupted her.
"Don't say any more." Gao Fei waved his hand, "I am definitely not going to take the money."
Su Xiaorou looked at Gao Fei quietly, feeling sowhat complex, "Gao Fei, can we be friends? I really want to be your friend! Can you just forget about the past unpleasantness?"
"I have sothing else to do, I'm leaving first." Gao Fei turned and walked towards the door.
"If you don't refuse, I'll take that as a yes," Su Xiaorou's voice ca from behind, "From now on, we're friends, good friends!"
Gao Fei left without turning his head, never directly answering Su Xiaorou, just as Su Xiaorou said, not refusing was tantamount to acquiescing.
Truth to be told, Gao Fei did care about Su Xiaorou, otherwise, he wouldn't have rushed to rescue her without hesitation upon learning that she was in danger. It's just that… Gao Fei was unwilling to admit it.
Watching Gao Fei's departing figure, Su Xiaorou murmured to herself, "You obviously care about , yet you have to put on an indifferent face. Aren't you tired of this?"
After a brief rest, Su Xiaorou got up and left the hotel. Before she left, she gave Long Dashan and Long Chao a fierce scolding. Father and son, Long Dashan and Long Chao, didn't dare utter a word and bore it quietly.
As soon as Su Xiaorou left, Long Dashan exploded, raising his hand and slapping Long Chao hard on the face, "This is all your fault! Bastard! I wish I could just smack you to death!"
"Dad... I didn't want this..." Long Chao, covering his face, felt very wronged, "It was an accident, an accident!"
"You still dare to talk back!" Long Dashan kicked Long Chao, "Get lost! Disappear from my sight imdiately!"
"I'm going, I'm going right away!" Long Chao got up and ran off in a hurry.
"Bang!"
Long Dashan kicked the sofa fiercely, his face ashen and his expression ferocious, "This is killing ! It's really killing !!! I can't let this go, I must have my revenge! Wild revenge!!!"
"Who are you planning to get revenge on?" A man's voice ca from behind.
"Uh..." Long Dashan's body shook as he slowly turned around, "You... You already left... How co... You're back..." At the door stood the person who had just left, Gao Fei.
Gao Fei leaned against the door fra, looking at Long Dashan with a half-smile, "Answer my question, who do you want to get revenge on?"
"I... I was just... I was just joking..."
"You think you can joke about sothing like that?"
"Really, I was absolutely joking..."
"Kneel down."
"What?"
"I said kneel down!"
"You..."
"You're treating my words like a breeze past your ear, huh?" Gao Fei took out a coin from his pocket and flicked it, "Whiz!" The coin beca like a sharp wind, hitting Long Dashan's knee in an instant, "Ow!" Long Dashan's knee bent, and he knelt to the ground.
Gao Fei walked slowly towards Long Dashan, "Scum like you deserves to die."
"I... I won't dare again, please spare ..." Long Dashan pleaded.
"Slap yourself," Gao Fei said indifferently, "Don't stop until I say so."
Having learned his lesson, Long Dashan beca prudent. He raised his hand, gently tapping his cheek, pretending to hit hard but actually with little force.
Who did they think Gao Fei was? Could he be deceived by Long Dashan? Gao Fei stomped lightly, "Crack..." The floor suddenly cracked, looking quite frightening, "Put so effort into it! Make it loud!"
"Slap! Slap slap!"
Long Dashan imdiately increased his force, and soon his face beca swollen. With each slap, Long Dashan's heart trembled with pain; it was truly painful... Without an order from Gao Fei, he dared not stop, and could only bite the bullet and continue...
"Alright, stop," Gao Fei said blandly.
"Huff..."
Long Dashan let out a long sigh of relief, finally allowed to stop...
"Listen up, from now on, you are not to trouble Su Xiaorou, otherwise, I will make you die a miserable death." After this warning, Gao Fei turned and left, this ti for good.
"Thump!"
Long Dashan slumped to the floor, tearful without tears, and said, "Oh heavens, what have I done to offend you, to torture like this."
After that incident, Long Dashan was left with a shadow in his heart and never dared to act recklessly again.
...
An airplane slowly ascended into the sky, heading southwest.
There were many passengers sitting in the cabin, and Gao Fei was one of them.
Gao Fei sat in his seat, eyes closed, communicating with Xuan Jizi's soul using his ntal power.
"Is there a quick way to increase one's cultivation?" Gao Fei asked.
"Yes."
"What way?"
"Find so aged spiritual dicine and spirit grass; after eating them, one can quickly increase their cultivation."
"Spiritual dicine? Spirit grass? These things have long been extinct, impossible to find."
"Getting so spirit pills to eat can also enhance your cultivation."
"Spirit pills?"
"It's the spirit pill made from spirit grass and spiritual dicine, what people often refer to as 'elixir,'" Xuan Jizi's soul explained. "The spirit pills contain pure spiritual energy; after refinent, they can increase one's cultivation."
"Where do I find spirit pills?" Gao Fei asked hastily.
"That's sothing you'll have to find on your own," Xuan Jizi's soul replied. "I've been asleep for over two thousand years and know nothing of the outside world; I can only give you so advice. How to proceed specifically, you'll have to figure that out yourself."
Xuan Jizi, having lived for more than two thousand years, certainly knew a lot. These days, Gao Fei had learned quite a bit from him, and not killing Xuan Jizi right away had been the right decision.
"Mr. Gao?" A woman quickly walked over from the opposite side, wearing casual clothes and sunglasses, her long hair fluttering in the wind as she moved, looking quite stunning.
Gao Fei lifted his head at the sound: "It's you?"
"Yes, it's !" ng Xiaoyu said, her face lighting up with surprise as she looked at Gao Fei: "I didn't expect to run into you on the plane; it's such a coincidence."
"Yeah, indeed quite a coincidence," Gao Fei nodded.
"Mr. Gao, where are you headed?" ng Xiaoyu took a seat right beside Gao Fei.
"I'm heading southwest for so business; what about you? Where are you going?"
"I'm also going southwest! To hold a concert!"
"You've been really popular lately. I hear people ntioning you a lot; you're now a ga-celebrity."
"Everything I have was bestowed by you. Without your help, I could never have achieved what I have today. Mr. Gao, I'm truly grateful from the bottom of my heart, and I want to repay you properly. Whatever you ask of , I'm willing to do it."
When a beautiful woman tells a man, "Whatever you ask of , I'm willing to do it," it's bound to cause ripples in his heart because those words carry too much implication.
It was no different for Gao Fei. Hearing ng Xiaoyu's words stirred sothing within him, though he did not show it on the surface: "Your accomplishnts today are the result of your own efforts, not much to do with ."
"No!" ng Xiaoyu shook her head. "That's not true! There are many girls like , without any background or connections, who pour their passion into the entertainnt industry, working hard and enduring hardship, but it's difficult for them to stand out... the entertainnt world is too complicated. To make a na for themselves, they have to sacrifice their values, and do things they don't like...
I was lucky to et you. With you around, nobody dared to bully . Whether it was directors or investors, they were all polite to , and during filming, they would respect my opinions... It was because of such support from these directors and producers that I could rise to fa. And why did they support ? It was all because of you!"
"Let's not talk about the past anymore," Gao Fei waved his hand. "I've always hated seeing the wicked bully the good people... When I saw Niu Hu bullying you, I happened to be there and of course, I had to step in... If it had been soone else, I would have helped just the sa."
"That's why I say I was really lucky," ng Xiaoyu stated. "If it hadn't been for you, not only would I have been bullied by Niu Hu, but I would have also suffered all sorts of tornt... my life would have been ruined."
"ng Xiaoyu? Is that really ng Xiaoyu?"
"Oh my God! I can't believe I'm on the sa airplane as ng Xiaoyu!"
"ng Xiaoyu, I'm your fan, a super fan! I go to sleep hugging your picture every day!"
"Can I have your autograph, please?"
"Could I take a photo with you?"
...
A crowd gathered around, calling out with various exclamations, and it was clear they were genuinely fond of ng Xiaoyu.
"Sure." ng Xiaoyu didn't put on airs, taking out a pen and starting to sign autographs for everyone, and eventually took a photo with them as well. She was calm and smiling softly in front of her fans, speaking gently and maintaining the image of a pure and innocent girl.
Gao Fei nodded inwardly, noting the maturity ng Xiaoyu had gained over this period.
At that mont, two burly n walked up, pushing through the crowd, to protect ng Xiaoyu. They were bodyguards hired by ng Xiaoyu for a hefty price. A celebrity with high popularity and sweet looks like ng Xiaoyu needed bodyguards to ensure her safety.
Nowadays, fans can be overly enthusiastic, sotis overly so, and if you're not careful, they'll give you a big "surprise."
In the end, it was the flight attendants who stepped in to persuade the passengers to reluctantly return to their seats.
"Phew…" ng Xiaoyu exhaled softly: "Finally, so relief. I was about to suffocate just now."
"That's the downside of being a celebrity," Gao Fei said with a slight smile. "Just showing your face attracts a mobbing by people asking all sorts of random questions..."
"Yeah," ng Xiaoyu nodded with frustration. "I don't even dare to go out now. If I really have to for sothing unavoidable, I have to wear sunglasses and a mask, bundled up tightly for fear of being recognized. It's really troubling for ."
