890: Chapter 890: Venting After Getting Drunk 890: Chapter 890: Venting After Getting Drunk As he was leaving, Kong Kong seed to step unintentionally on the chest of Wang Dashan, who lay unconscious on the ground.
Crack!
His sternum shattered!
Wang Dashan never imagined that his plan to play dead and escape after Bai Xiaofan and Kong Kong left would backfire.
Damn it, Kong Kong actually stomped on him before leaving!
This might be the most humiliating death for a Nascent Soul-stage expert.
To be killed by a single stomp!
On the way back in the car, Bai Xiaofan sent a ssage to Night Rose, informing her that the task was done.
It turned out that at noon, Night Rose had called him to say she’d located Lu Yiming’s whereabouts.
When Bai Xiaofan set out, he originally intended to bring Xiao i and Yuan’er along.
But since the two of them hadn’t fully recovered from their injuries, Bai Xiaofan decided to invite Kong Kong instead.
Since Uncle Tang had gone to Arica, the tavern was now managed by White Tiger.
White Tiger would occasionally co to hang out during the day.
However, White Tiger couldn’t cook, so he hired two chefs and a few staff mbers.
When Bai Xiaofan and Kong Kong arrived, White Tiger happened to be there, nibbling on a few dishes while drinking wine.
“So comfy!
Are you slacking off and skipping training?”
Bai Xiaofan pulled out a chair, sat down, grabbed a few peanuts, poured himself a drink, and looked at White Tiger.
“Caught , huh!”
White Tiger chuckled and motioned to the staff to bring a few more jars of wine.
“Want so?”
White Tiger raised a jar of wine casually, asking Kong Kong sitting on the side.
“This monk does not drink wine.”
Kong Kong shook his head, seemingly uninterested.
“Don’t pretend.
Damn it, you already kill people, why would drinking a bit of wine bother you?
Let tell you, this wine is magical.
Many people see the one they miss the most after drinking it!”
Upon hearing Kong Kong’s words, Bai Xiaofan was visibly displeased.
He picked up a jar, poured himself a glass, and took a sip while raising an eyebrow at Kong Kong.
“Really?
Can it show the person one misses the most?”
Kong Kong asked softly, and then, as if he didn’t need an answer from Bai Xiaofan or White Tiger, poured himself a glass and emptied it in one gulp.
“Whoa, didn’t expect you to be an expert drinker—co on, let’s drink to our heart’s content tonight!”
Seeing Kong Kong down the glass in one breath, White Tiger’s spirits lifted.
He rolled up his sleeves and started drinking with enthusiasm.
Bai Xiaofan didn’t want to drink initially, but with both of them urging him glass by glass, he eventually joined them.
Though Bai Xiaofan didn’t drink much; he didn’t particularly like it.
To Bai Xiaofan, drinking is fine when done in moderation, but drinking solely to get drunk?
That’s pointless.
anwhile, White Tiger and Kong Kong, as they drank more and more, started ignoring Bai Xiaofan altogether.
Eventually, they ditched the glasses and drank straight from the jars.
Swish, swish…
Although winter had long arrived, Nanjing City was a place where it could rain any day, like the whims of a mood-changing beauty.
If she was happy, the skies would be sunny and clear.
If she was sorrowful, then no one could feel joy—everyone would be drenched in tear-like rain.
Watching the drizzle outside the window, Bai Xiaofan glanced at the two sloshed n and shook his head helplessly.
He took a seat by the door, savoring this rare mont of leisure.
Looking at hurried pedestrians on the wet streets, Bai Xiaofan’s mouth curled into a faint, bitter smile.
Especially when he saw a young couple standing under the eaves of a shop not far away, sheltering from the rain.
Fearing his partner might get wet, the boy removed his jacket and held it over the girl’s head.
If given a choice, Bai Xiaofan sincerely wished he could live as they did—a life of ordinary simplicity.
Before his foster parents passed away, Bai Xiaofan and Xin’er would walk to school and gaze at the luxury cars passing by, fantasizing about having heaps of money one day and driving one of those cars.
But now he had money—more than enough, so much that it beca re numbers to him.
Luxury cars?
He could buy dozens, even hundreds of them if he wanted.
Yet, Bai Xiaofan found that life wasn’t as fun as he once imagined.
Back then, at least he didn’t wake up fearing assassins lurking by his bed.
Now, he woke up every day wondering if soone would co to kill him.
And as the number of companions grew, so did the number of enemies.
Bai Xiaofan truly worried that one day, he might fail to protect the ones he cared about the most.
“Tang Ying, where are you?
I miss you!”
Suddenly, a sobbing voice ca from behind.
White Tiger, clutching his jar, staggered to Bai Xiaofan, cried his heart out while staring at the endless rain.
“Xue Ru, co back!
I ssed up, I really did.
Don’t leave again, please?”
Kong Kong soon stumbled forward, passing Bai Xiaofan and White Tiger, running straight into the rain, shouting at the heavens.
“Xiao Ying, it’s been so many years.
Do you know how much I’ve missed you?
After you finally returned, you left again not long after.
How could you be so heartless?”
“I understand, I do.
I know you love , but not that much.
I know it all—yet I don’t bla you.
Even if you loved only to achieve Princess Sasha’s plans—I won’t hate you.
I’m willing to be deceived!”
“Xue Ru, back at the Enlightennt Institute, you asked if I’d go down the mountain with you, help you raise our child together.
I didn’t answer then, but I wanted to—I truly wanted to.
Later, I regretted it so much and raced madly down the mountains.”
“But…
but when I saw you again, we were already separated by life and death.
You once told you fell for the first mont you saw .
But what you didn’t know was that I liked you from the very first glance too.
I just didn’t dare say it—I feared your tenderness would pull in and prevent from pursuing the Dao!”
“I was so foolish, utterly foolish.
Xue Ru, if you co back, I’ll give up on the Dao, give up on Divinity Transformation—I’ll give up everything for you…”
In the rainy mist, White Tiger and Kong Kong knelt on the ground, letting the falling rain batter them relentlessly, indifferent to the odd gazes of passersby seeking shelter.
At that mont, all they desired was to see the ones they loved most.
Even just a glance…
a single glance…
The tavern staff tried stepping forward to drag White Tiger and Kong Kong back inside, but Bai Xiaofan stopped them.
Whether they were truly drunk or just using drunkenness to vent their sorrow and longing, Bai Xiaofan decided to leave them be.
Lighting a cigarette, Bai Xiaofan sat silently, smoking and watching White Tiger and Kong Kong shout their emotions into the rain.
The rain poured harder and harder as White Tiger and Kong Kong collapsed to the ground, lying in the puddles.
