Chapter 151: Trouble for Xiaoyu and Xiaoxiao
Early the next morning, Su Tong hurried off to the airport.
"Driver, can you drive faster? I'm in a rush." Along the way, Su Tong kept urging the taxi driver.
"Young man, this is already as fast as it goes. Any faster and I'll be caught for speeding, resulting in points deducted and fines." The driver could see that Su Tong was anxious, but he simply couldn't drive any faster.
Su Tong's destination was not Yandu, but Coastal City.
After hurriedly getting off the plane, Su Tong rushed out of the airport without a moment's rest.
"I'll drive!" The person waiting to pick him up was Li Wen.
Today was Sunday, so Li Wen didn't have classes, and Su Tong had called her to come pick him up.
"Mm-mm." Knowing that Su Tong was in a great rush, Li Wen quickly scrambled from the driver's seat over to the front passenger seat.
She was fully developed, presenting her plump, uptight buttocks right toward Su Tong, with a large portion of her thighs exposed beneath her skirt. However, Su Tong had no interest in that; instead, annoyed by her slowness, he gave her bottom two pats.
"Ah~"
Li Wen let out a sharp cry, her face flushing crimson.
"Little Demon, you've been buried in studying within the system space for a dozen years or so, and your evolution has also granted you quite a few abilities. Today, let me see what capabilities you have and what gains you've made." Ignoring Li Wen's reaction, Su Tong closed the car door, started the engine, and sped away in a flash.
"Just watch out for speed cameras, right? As long as there are speed traps, I'll report them to you. Feel free to drive without worry," the Little Demon said triumphantly.
"Fasten your condom—uh, seatbelt." Once the car was moving, Su Tong said to Li Wen, who was still sitting dazed in the front passenger seat.
Li Wen hurriedly fastened her seatbelt.
After buckling it, she suddenly snapped to her senses: "What? Tongtong, what did you just say about a condom?" As she spoke, her face turned a mix of bashful and furious.
"Do you have a girlfriend in Yandu? You said that so smoothly, do you go to hotel rooms with people often? You..." Li Wen's face flushed bright red, and her eyes welled up with redness.
Su Tong was baffled: "Condom? Did I just say that?"
"You totally said it, fess up! Do you frequently go to hotel rooms with other women?" Li Wen's voice carried a hint of sobbing.
She had gotten up early in the morning to drive and pick him up, and although she was a bit overbearing, courtesy demands respect for one's benefactors. Su Tong gave an awkward laugh and said, "Um, slip of the tongue, total slip of the tongue. I don't even have a girlfriend, why would I go to any hotel rooms?"
"Really?" Li Wen asked, half-convinced.
"What good would lying to you do? If I had a girlfriend, I'd tell you first, so I wouldn't get..." Su Tong was somewhat used to teasing Li Wen, but since he was currently driving her car, he didn't finish the sentence.
Li Wen instantly brightened up again.
When you like someone, even if you know they are lying to you, you foolishly choose to believe them.
The magic of love is just like a dream, where you are powerless to control yourself within it.
Only upon waking from the dream can one return to oneself.
"Su Tong, what... what do you think of me?" Li Wen was now a bit afraid of Su Tong. The guy had become famous and was so popular that she no longer dared to act as domineering toward him as she used to.
Back in high school, when she pursued Su Tong, she maintained a condescending attitude, considering her superior background and wealthy family. As for Su Tong, apart from his good grades and handsome looks, he was useless at everything else.
"You?" Su Tong glanced sideways at Li Wen, then turned his gaze back to the road ahead: "You look very beautiful today, your outfit matches well and has more charm than student uniforms. But you look pretty good in the high school uniform skirt too, not too long or too short, paired with a pair of glasses—it has a unique appeal. Speaking of which, aren't you nearsighted like Tongtong? Why do you never wear glasses, or do you wear contact lenses instead? Wearing contact lenses all the time isn't good for your eyes."
"Do you like girls who wear glasses?" Li Wen touched the bottom that Su Tong had patted earlier. Tongtong often wore glasses; no wonder Su Tong seemed to prefer Tongtong. Li Wen could tell.
"I have no idea. Whoever looks good wearing them is who I like." Su Tong's remark almost made Li Wen blow her top again.
Accelerating all the way and relying on the Little Demon to dodge various speed cameras, Su Tong drove the car to his doorstep in less than half an hour, leaving Li Wen trembling slightly.
As soon as he got out of the car, Su Tong didn't even bring his bag, rushing straight into the courtyard.
Both sisters, Xiaoyu and Xiaoxiao, had fallen ill.
They had been running a fever with a cold since yesterday, and Xiaoxiao kept crying for her older brother.
Their divine father hadn't gone out to work for the past two days either, staying home to take care of the two sisters.
"Why did Xiaoyu and Xiaoxiao suddenly both get sick?" Before even entering the house, Su Tong asked when he saw his father coming out.
Their father looked somewhat awkward and didn't say anything, but Su Tong instantly figured out what had happened, and his expression turned rather ugly.
Su Tong walked into Xiaoyu and Xiaoxiao's room. The two sisters were lying in bed with damp towels pressed against their foreheads, their faces drained of color and their eyes tightly shut.
The two sisters slept fitfully, huddled under the quilt.
As if the three siblings shared a telepathic bond, the moment Su Tong walked in, both sisters opened their eyes almost simultaneously, their gazes dim and lifeless.
"Older brother."
"Bwother."
The instant they saw Su Tong, the two sisters immediately burst into loud wailing.
"Don't cry, don't cry, big brother is back." The sisters scrambled up and threw themselves into Su Tong's arms. Su Tong pressed his face against their foreheads and found them burning hot, his nose instantly stinging with emotion.
The first time he ever saw Xiaoyu and Xiaoxiao after arriving in this world was amidst a torrential downpour.
To bring him an umbrella, the tiny sisters had braved the rain and waited for him by the roadside bus station.
"Bwother, Xiaoxiao... finished drawing, the snake spirit, the scorpion spirit..." Xiaoxiao cried as she spoke.
"Big brother, I practiced the piano every day. I'm sorry, the night before yesterday, Xiaoxiao and I hadn't gone to sleep yet when the devil came back drunk and wouldn't let us sleep, and even poured cold water on us," Xiaoyu cried. Although she didn't detail the whole process, Su Tong could guess most of it.
"It's okay, it's okay, big brother is back." Su Tong held the two sisters in his arms, channeling energy through his divine body to lower their temperatures.
They had taken fever-reducing medicine, but the main reason the sisters couldn't get better was that they had been terrified and lacked a sense of security.
With Su Tong back, the two sisters quickly fell asleep in his arms, their body temperatures gradually dropping.
After laying the two sisters down and sitting by the bedside for a moment, Su Tong walked out of the room and closed the door.
"Wenwen, help me go buy two bottles of liquor," Su Tong said to Li Wen.
Li Wen was momentarily dazed. Buy liquor? What for?
Su Father's expression shifted slightly: "I don't drink."
Without even glancing at his father, Su Tong walked out of the courtyard to the small supermarket at the head of the village and came back carrying two bottles of liquor.
"Tongtong, what are you trying to do?" Li Wen had no idea what Su Tong intended; no matter how she asked, Su Tong just kept a cold face, until eventually, she didn't dare ask anymore.
"Bang!"
Back home, Su Tong uncapped a bottle of liquor, took a cup, and poured it full to the brim with glugging sounds.
"Drink!"
After pouring the wine, Su Tong lowered his head and said coldly to his father.
"Tongtong, I won't drink anymore in the future," Su Father said weakly.
"Drink!"
Su Tong sneered inwardly, his chest heaving slightly, his expression so grim and terrifying that Li Wen, standing nearby, held her breath in terror, not daring to make a sound.
She didn't know that Su Father turned into a devil when he drank, nor did she know that Xiaoyu and Xiaoxiao's current illness was caused by his drinking.
"Drink!"
When Su Father didn't come over to drink, Su Tong roared, his gaze extremely frightening.
