Chapter 213 - Dimensional Disorder (1/2)
“!” Bai Wu immediately shifted his attention to Xu Lan. He locked his eyes onto Xu Lan in a death stare so intense that it was almost capable of burning a hole.
“Eh, young brother, you may be able to put whatever you like in your mouth, but you have to be careful about what comes out of it. Indeed, I was anxiously rushing home to check on my wife last night. I bumped into Bai Wu just this morning,” Xu Lan answered resentfully while avoiding eye contact Bai Wu.
“Hm? And how did you guys know each other? I sense some bad blood 1 , perhaps it’s better to sit down and talk about it.” Wang Meng noticed the change in atmosphere and quickly became the peacemaker.
“Hehe, no need. Since you’re all busy, we’ll be leaving.” Xu Lan flashed an awkward smile, turned around and started walking out. Little did he expect that Bai Wu suddenly grabbed his hand, stumbled slightly, and got him to re-enter the room again.
“Keep calm, and explain everything clearly.”
After gnashing his teeth loudly, Bai Wu’s voice finally escaped past his molars. His first reaction was that of disbelief since Xu Lan had been keeping him company in the ward the night before. On second thought, he began to wonder why Xu Lan came to him so late. By that time, it was already in the wee hours of the morning, and furthermore, Xu Lan had had a few drinks.
The atmosphere in the room was both awkward and weird. Wang Meng completely forgot what the exact topic of discussion was. With a shake of the head, Xiao Feng dragged him out of the room. A nice way of describing that action was that they were giving the others some space, but in reality, Wang Meng and Xiao Feng simply did not want to be dragged into the issue.
Bai Wu sat crossed-legged on a chair. Like two rays of light, Bai Wu’s gaze never once shifted away from Xu Lan’s body. Liang Yu, meanwhile, helped Qin Lao sit down, and the three of them waited for Xu Lan to start explaining.
“F*CK! What the hell is all this! You’re making me look like I committed some terrible crime! Didn’t I say that my wife was in the hospital? I should be the one to ask how and why both of you appeared here! Can’t you feel that things are a bit off?”
Xu Lan was in a foul mood. Once he sat down on the sofa, he crossed his legs sloppily.
“Hmph! It’s obvious you were with Bai Wu! The only reason I believed your nonsense was because I’m not empathetic 1 !” Liang Yu blasted.
