Back to the Apocalypse

Chapter 34

Bai Jing hung up and at the next moment was already on the go as he hurriedly ordered his plane tickets for N city, the town where Xiao San was it's main local bully. The other man would come quite often to help Bai Jing manage their business and on the same occasion, transport new weapons to D city. The trip was therefore always troublesome, however when this young master would personally ran the trip, as he has his secret space with him, there would be nothing left to incriminate him with.

Before leaving, he threw on the counter a pile of notes with instructions on them. Among those, some urging Qin Yi to find some good people to work for him, others giving him the authority to contact their different suppliers and ask of them as much goods as they have.

In the past few days, Qin Yi came to understand the meaning behind Cao Lei's words of advice. This young Master was indeed someone worth working for but sometimes, he had just the strangest of ideas. And nowadays, with the accumulation of mysterious actions, he would now honestly want to understand what was the truth underneath.

But for the moment, there were too many headache-inducing matters to deal with and simply handling the business as instructed was less troublesome than overthinking it. In any case, the young master background was strong as he had a powerful person supporting him. The sky could collapse before somebody could ever touch him.

In any case Qin Yi received his massive amount of assignment of the day without a complaint as anyways, the poor can't be picky but in his heart, he had grew increasingly restless. Since the day the weather started to heat up strangely, the young master started giving him those sort of specific work. He could not help but ponder whether or not his boss was hiding information.

That afternoon, Bai Jing arrived in N City at last. Just as he stepped out of the plane, he caught sight of Xiao San's firm and unyielding silhouette, emanating cold like usual. He had to admit that even lost in the middle of a crowd, that man was still striking. And as if to prove it, all eyes in the room were converged towards him. Seen the one he was waiting for waving as he approached, that man freezing expression turned softer.

''Let's go.'' said Bai Jing, not even bothering to say hi. In his heart, Xiao San sadly sigh. But a second later, indifferent to people's gaze, he took Bai Jing's hand into his own and they walked out.

Outside of the airport hall, endless waves of heat surged against them as their bodies were drenched in sweat in a matter of seconds. Xiao Sa pulled Bai Jing and, as he was himself enduring the heat, said quietly

"Don't stay outside for too long, let's just get into the car."

Bai Jing laughed,

"I'm not that delicate."

Looking up at Xiao San, the young man could see the exhaustion in his eyes. Actually, his whole complexion looked bad. These days must have been dreadful as even his stare, usually so bright was dulled by the dark and heavy shadows under his eyes.

"But I can't bear it."

said Xiao San faintly, the tone of his voice as gentle as if his words were about love rather than his opinion in respect of the insufferable weather.

Although he was sweating like a pig, Xiao San face showed no trace of emotions and, grabbing the boy's hand, they quickly left towards the parking lot.

In Bai Jing's wounded mind, his EQ (emotional intelligence) had already taught him long ago never to expect anything from others. But, deeply concealed into his heart was now hiding a snip of true delight. Even with his body going through this oppressive weather, it somehow didn't felt so bad.

Upon getting near the car, Bai Jing immediately felt comfortable as Xiao San had been very thoughtful. Though he left to fetch him, the air conditioning had not been turned off and from the car itself you could feel bursts of coolness.
