Chapter 809 - Pretty face (2/2)
Watching the cold young walk away, Xu Long was befuddled. He scratches the back of his head and looks at Liu Shan.
”Was it something I said or did? How come he never chill with us longer?”
He thought they were the four Stooges. However, from their time together, he notices that Qi Li is the type never to relax. Even when they are out to enjoy time for themselves, he (Qi Li) is as stiff as a rock.
”Don't mind him. You didn't do anything. That's just the way he is.”
Liu Shan answers without the need to think twice. He reaches inside his pocket and takes out a few zip ties. He hands some to Xu Long and walks over to the petite man.
”Tie the big rat you caught. I'll handle the little rat.”
He squats down in front of the petite man and puts the man's hands together as he secures the zip ties around the wrists.
”That's how he usually is? Why? If I had his looks, I would be able to get any woman I want.”
Xu Long shook his head and walked over to the heavy man. He does the same as Liu Shan and ties the man's wrists.
”It's a shame his personality isn't as pretty as his looks.”
He sighs, and Liu Shan glances at him for a quick before continuing with what he (Liu Shan) was doing.
”He wasn't always like that.”
He left his words at that as he never discloses other's matters. He grabs the petite man by the collar before standing up to drag the man away.
”Let's go to where they are.”
When he first met Qi Li, he learned that the ill.u.s.trator once knew how to smile and had a sense of humor. He (Qi Li) also never used to wear glasses. However, having been picked on for his pretty looks from a young age, he decided to hide it behind glasses.
Not only that, he turned into a cold and indifferent person so that others could not hurt him. He can talk to others like they're the closest friends, but other than Yue Ling, he draws the line at how close one can enter his heart.
Thinking about Qi Li's old past, Liu Shan sighs inside. It seems like he isn't the only one with a tragic past. Many believe that the people from fate live a life of comfort, but that is only on the surface. Hidden behind the smile of each person is a dark past filled with pain and misfortune.
Only after taking Yue Ling's hand were they given a new life. She is a woman who carries her pain and misfortune, but she still managed to take care of everyone.
For this, everyone cares deeply for her. Others see her as a retired model, fashion designer, or CEO, but to them, she is the sun that gives them warmth and the moon that lights the darkness for them to get on the right path.
Thinking these thoughts, Liu Shan faintly chuckles and looks in the direction Qi Li had gone. This time, he keeps all his thoughts hidden and continues with his way.
Xu long stares from behind with a perplexed look on his face. He wanted to ask about how Qi Li used to be but stops himself. It was best not to pry into other's personal life. He'll wait until the day comes when Qi Li is comfortable enough to tell him.
He reaches down to grab the heavy man's tied hands. He heaves a deep sigh and follows after his lady boss's assistant.
However, having taken only two steps, he looks at the robust man lying not too far from where he stood.
”What about him? Shouldn't we tie him up too?”
In his steps, Liu Shan pauses, turns around, and glances at the robust man, then looks away.
”He's dead, but if you think he's going to turn into a zombie, then go ahead.”
” ...”
Xu long nods his head in understanding but was struck dumbfounded when Liu Shan mentioned the man turning into a zombie. He scoffs a sarcastic chuckle and walks away.
However, he suddenly stops and drops the heavy man's hands.
He tiptoes over to the robust man, who is claimed dead. He takes three zip ties and secures the man's wrists together.
”I don't believe in zombies, but let's be safe than sorry.”
Liu Shan: ” ...”
