Chapter 547: They


Translator: Lonelytree


City S under the cover of moonlight was like a mysterious lady. Her alluring smile would cause your heart to race and her lithe figure would expand your imagination. Many people would fall into the deep abyss of desire with just a glance of her… But… ultimately she was just an illusion, a type of imagination. You could sense her presence beside you but you could never pull her into your arms…



5th June, 9 pm. The chaos and agitation of the day festered in the night sky, turning into bright lights and neon of the night. This night, at the entrance of a luxurious restaurant in the middle of the city. About 30 plus youthful souls walked out from the restaurant. In the early summer, they were still all dressed in rather formal outfit. Be it male or female, they basically were all decked out in branded clothing. And among them, there was one that was particularly eye-catching.


First, this was definitely a beauty, one whose beauty could not be denied. In ancient China, great beauties were described as having the flowers wilt in shame when they pass and this was one such beauty. But… that was not the reason why she stood out because there was no lacking of beauties in this ground. There were quite a lot of fair ladies who were equally eye-catching close to her. The reason she stood apart from the rest was because… she wore an extremely simple black long-sleeved t shirt and jeans, her hair was pulled into a casual ponytail and had basically no make-up on her face…


For someone who was invited to a reunion, her way of dressing showed honestly a lack of respect for the event… Everyone knew that you could be casually dressed for any other occasion but this one… you could appear casual on the surface but you would need to respect its importance internally. After all… no one wanted their old schoolmates to have the idea that they had gotten worse off in life, that was just normal human psychology.


But Li Ruoyu, this strange specimen… was as casual and as perfunctory as she could be…


From her perspective, be it branded clothes or clothes bought at the market, they could not represent anything because she knew very well that all those who would come to this reunion… had all made a name for themselves in the city.


“ha ha, look at them, how bad they can hold down their drink.”


“Who are you talking about? We shall continue the contest at the KTV later.”


“Sure, do you think I’m scared? Provided that we aren’t chased out by the security due to your horrible voice first.”



“Qie… Anyone has the right to critique except you, the Queen of Broken Pitch.”


“Eh, eh, eh. I am telling you people now, later no one shall swipe the bill from me. It is about my time to pay for the KTV. Don’t be shy, order as many things as you want.”


After the dinner, the group was rather inebriated and they joked happily among themselves. Only Li Ruoyu… stood to the side alone, and no one came voluntarily to engage her in conversation.


“Ruoyu.” Suddenly someone called her name. To Li Ruoyu’s former classmates, the voice was quite unfamiliar. Quite a number of people turned around to see who was this male species who dared to sacrifice this life… and voluntarily came to talk to the ‘female assassin (nickname)’. And they saw a stranger.


It was a young male, looked about 25. Even though he was not the most handsome person they had met, he was considered well-looking. And the unbridled wicked presence between the brows was a unique presence that they could not found mimicked on others.


“Why… are you here…” The second Li Ruoyu saw Feng Bujue, she was really caught by surprise. Today’s Brother Jue was really different from normal… who knew where he got a suit and a pair of branded shoes and somehow there was a Bugatti parked behind it. And something must be wrong with him… because he was showered and had even had his hair done.


“Hmm? Of course, I’m here to fetch you.” Feng Bujue revealed a gentle smile. “Didn’t you say you might drink tonight? I calculated the time, so I drove to come fetch you.”


“Oh~” Her classmates all showed a ‘I get it now’ expression.


“Who would have thought… the female assassin now has a boyfriend…”


“This sure is worth celebrating…”


“Well… I am not sure celebration is a word I would use to describe the life awaiting that kid…”


“Eh, Li Ruoyu’s boyfriend is quite handsome.”


“Why? Do you plan on stealing him? Look closely… what kind of car he’s driving.”


“Qie… I’m just saying. From the looks, it’s clear that he’s a rich young master. They come from the same family background, who am I to get in between them.”


Indifference, coldness, derision, envy, mockery… many emotions spread amidst the crowd, but there was none that was truly happy for Li Ruoyu. One had to admit that… she really had bad social skills…


Just as Brother Jue finished, Li Ruoyu soon understood the situation. She sighed under her breath and turned around to her classmates. “Then… I’ll be leaving for now. Sorry.”


“Aiya, go ahead… we understand.” The more chatty female classmates swiftly replied, they were the organizers of this reunion and were the few who had made the most of themselves since their graduation. Once they heard Li Ruoyu was leaving, they could not have welcomed it more. Actually, halfway through the dinner, they already regretted inviting Li Ruoyu… she was so extra, she sat to the side and drank and ate on her own. She did not speak and the air around her was like a blackhole. It was hard to say whether she was sad or pitiable…


Once the few girls started the beginning, the other students who stood close quickly followed up. Therefore, Li Ruoyu nodded politely with them and bade them farewell. Then she turned around, immediately switch on an expression that said ‘you owe me so much for this’ and glared at Brother Jue. She slowly approached him but Brother Jue was not worried. In fact he was as still as water and the smile grew bigger on his face. Several seconds later, Li Ruoyu very naturally put her hand through Brother Jue’s arm and then… practically dragged him away from the scene.



Soon, the two got into the race car. Feng Bujue started the lesson and turned the car around. The Bugatti’s tail lights soon disappeared on the street.


“Explain.” Li Ruoyu sat in the passenger seat, before she even put on the seatbelt, she dropped this order.


“Hmm… Your cousin called me, saying you were attending a one year anniversary.” Feng Bujue replied. “She even let slip the restaurant address and the time before she hung up.”


“Hmph… Why would she tell you about these things?” Ruoyu asked.


“Hah… perhaps she has already predicted… you would be caught in that awkward situation like the one I saw you in earlier.” Feng Bujue chuckled. “So she dropped the hint for me to come rescue you.”


“Who said it was awkward?” Ruoyu said softly, “I was doing quite well…”


“Quite well? Who are you kidding…” Feng Bujue sighed, “Even an outsider like myself could weep seeing that… you were obviously not part of the group. I bet you were drinking alone during the dinner, right? Do you know the saddest thing in the world is to be a lonely drinker?”


“Even so, what does that got to do with you?” Ruoyu’s tone suddenly chilled.


“Did I sense anger… Fine.” Feng Bujue did not look phased. “I am your punching bag today, it’s fine. I have broad shoulders and powerful arms…”


At that moment, Li Ruoyu’s face was blushed. It was unknown whether it was the drink or fury. After a temporary silence, she suddenly came out and asked, “Do you like me?”


Brother Jue was startled and turned to glance at Ruoyu, “Jesus, your train of thought sure is hard to follow…”


“I am sorry, I am very dull when it comes to relationship. If you do, then please tell me sooner so that I can have the time to arrange my thoughts.” Li Ruoyu replied.


“Hmm…” Brother Jue thought for a few seconds and then gave a surprising answer. “I am not sure…”


“Oh.” Somehow Ruoyu was able to accept that answer. Silence once again descended… but the conversation between these two Gods was far from over…


Feng Bujue also did not expect such a loaded question could be explained away so easily but since Ruoyu had already accepted his answer then why bring it up again. So he naturally changed the subject, “Ah… by the way, aren’t you surprised by this whole get up…”


“I’m sure you borrowed everything from Xiao Tan.” Ruoyu interrupted, “Since he has already borrowed you a Bugatti, what are some clothes and shoes…”


“Qie… so I have been exposed at first glance.” Feng Bujue mumbled.


“Actually… you did not need to do anything of these…” Ruoyu said, “I did not mind how those people look at me… and I will not join this kind of event in the future anymore.”


“Aiz… I did not wish to do this either.” Feng Bujue also sighed rather helplessly. “But unfortunately… this is how the whole world works…”


“So… we are the ones…” Ruoyu turned around to look at Brother Jue and said, “…that are too weird?”


“Ha ha… bingo.” Feng Bujue also turned back to meet her gaze and smiled a meaningful smile. “But if you ask me… tonight things end up not that bad. I quite enjoy this experience.”
