Chapter 918 - Missing Piece (1/2)

Xiao Li had just come to get juice for Asteria who was feeling thirsty but he didn't expect he would be attacked when he wasn't even ready for it. This sneak attack caught him surprise but he didn't know that this caught the attacker by surprise as well.

Behind him, both Ying and Dr. Ling gasped when they saw this scene of him getting slapped but then they shared a look and burst out laughing happily. They were like typical friends who would laugh at you first and then come to ask, ”Are you okay, Ah-Li?”

Xiao Li's attention was on his attacker and Bo Jiu had already taken a step back saying, ”It wasn't intentional. I was just trying to kill a mosquito.”

Ying tsked at Xiao Li, ”Poor you, Ah-Li! Now, you're even getting mistaken for mosquitoes.”

”With how he loves to suck up others' blood with his bone-chilling gaze, it was about time someone would treat him like a mosquito!” Dr. Ling added salt to wounds.

Xiao Li glared at both his friends before he looked at Bo Jiu who pointed at his face saying, ”I'm not calling you a mosquito. I promise! And if you're too handsome to be a mosquito, you should know that.” She held his chin and turned her face showing the girls, ”See? There was indeed a mosquito. And I killed it.” Although it happened by chance, it was a fact that her slap had managed to kill a mosquito.

Xiao Li was baffled at how proud she looked as if it was some sort of an achievement. He huffed and walked away to wash his face. Bo Jiu was left staring at his back with a frown.

”He is handsome. But why the hell his eyes looks so scary?” she muttered to herself.

Just then Ying and Dr. Ling placed their hands on Bo Jiu's shoulders respectively, ”Comrade, you're awesome!”

”It was an accident,” Bo Jiu emphasized her words.

Ying looked at Dr. Ling and said, ”It doesn't matter to us. Both of us enjoyed the show. So, thanks for that!”

Han Bohai came to stand beside Bo Jiu when Ying and Dr. Ling left. He offered her hand sanitizer and said, ”Of all people, you just have to mess up with the wrong ones, eh?”

”He looked at me like he was gonna kill me,” said Bo Jiu.

”Well, I won't dare to doubt that. So, be careful. He might really kill you.”

Bo Jiu glanced at Han Bohai, ”You're just trying to scare me.”

”Am I?” Han Bohai played the ignorance game which Bo Jiu didn't buy.

”The way he looks at that little girl,” she pointed at Asteria. ”Even I don't feel right calling him scary.”

”That's his daughter,” replied Han Bohai. ”Of course, he has to be gentle with her. But who are you? Why do you think he'd be nice to you?”

In another corner, Xin Zimen had been sitting alone. Keeping himself away from the others. He looked at the happiness that surrounded him, ”Ai, are you seeing this?” he asked in a soft voice to no one in particular. He seemed to be talking to just himself. ”Doesn't our daughter look happy? I know you can see it. You must be happy, right? Our daughter has found her home. Just like I found mine in you. I don't wanna be sad today but I really miss you tonight.”

”Dad, what are you doing here?” asked Xiao Li who was passing by his side.

”Nothing,” replied Xin Zimen.
