Half an hour later, Hu Xiaobei let out a sigh of relief!

The reason was that the sobbing coming from Song Yaling, who was nestled in his arms, gradually faded away...

"She seems to have almost vented out her emotions now."

Thinking this, Hu Xiaobei quietly lowered his head.

At this moment, he realized that Song Yaling had fallen asleep.

...

"Looking at it this way, she has really been under a lot of pressure recently."

Thinking this, Hu Xiaobei didn’t plan on waking her up but instead quickly picked her up.

Seeing her tear-streaked eyelids, Hu Xiaobei sighed silently with a touch of heartache.

Soon, Hu Xiaobei walked up the stairs covered with a red carpet to the second floor.

After pausing slightly at the door to her room, Hu Xiaobei gently pushed the door open.

After a while, Hu Xiaobei carefully placed her, deeply asleep, onto the bed.

After putting her down, Hu Xiaobei was about to leave so she could rest well, but he found she was holding onto his hand.

Trying to get free, Hu Xiaobei heard her murmuring softly.

"Don’t leave me, don’t leave me!"

Hearing such anxious words, Hu Xiaobei knew she might be having a nightmare...

Gently rubbing her face, Hu Xiaobei solemnly and quickly said, "Rest assured, I will never leave you in this lifetime. So, you absolutely don’t need to worry about anything!"

Saying this, Hu Xiaobei didn’t continue to leave but quietly sat beside her to accompany her...

Perhaps hearing Hu Xiaobei’s assurance, Song Yaling relaxed completely.

Seeing her frown gradually relaxing, Hu Xiaobei felt relieved. Looking around, Hu Xiaobei noticed the layout had changed a bit.

Previously, the walls here were covered with many of her photo shoots.

But now, those photo shoots had been replaced.

They were all replaced with news articles regarding Xiaohe Village and himself.

"It seems Sister Song is really paying special attention to me!"

Smiling, Hu Xiaobei looked again at the deeply sleeping Song Yaling.

Hu Xiaobei knew she should sleep for a few more hours now...

...

"Where is this? My room? Was everything before just a dream? But it felt so real!"

Not knowing how much time had passed, Song Yaling woke up.

Finding herself in the room, she murmured to herself...

Because she woke up in the bed, she started to feel like everything before was just a dream.

"Maybe I missed that bastard Hu Xiaobei too much, so that’s why I had such a dream just now!"

Murmuring this way, she suddenly heard a gentle voice.

"Sister Song, you’re awake!"

Hearing such a slightly surprised voice, she quickly turned her head and saw Hu Xiaobei looking calmly at her.

Seeing Hu Xiaobei’s somewhat puzzled look, she took a deep breath and murmured, "What’s going on? Am I still in a dream?"

"What are you talking about! Sister Song, this isn’t a dream, this is all real."

Hearing Song Yaling’s murmur, Hu Xiaobei laughed and sat boldly in front of her.

Looking at Hu Xiaobei so close, she was still not quite sure, "This really isn’t a dream?"

"Yes, earlier, you fell asleep, and I held you here! You kept holding onto me, so I stayed here with you. Later, I really needed to go to the bathroom, so I pulled away a bit. I was originally planning to hurry back, but you woke up."

Hu Xiaobei looked at her, still somewhat disbelieving, and quickly explained...

Previously, Hu Xiaobei truly needed to use the bathroom, so he had to pull his hand back.

Originally, Hu Xiaobei thought he could hold out until she woke up, but later, he realized he slightly overestimated himself.

So, helplessly, he had to pull away.

Hearing Hu Xiaobei’s words, she blushed and quickly said, "What are you talking about, I didn’t tell you not to leave!"

Seeing her shy expression, Hu Xiaobei winked, "Didn’t you? But just now someone was calling my name while sleeping!"

"That’s... that’s because you owe me too much, so I was calling your name."

Looking at Song Yaling, Hu Xiaobei nodded seriously, "Yes, I owe you a lot, so I will spend a lifetime repaying you."

"Hmph!"

She snorted in frustration, looked at Hu Xiaobei, and finally remembered what she wanted to say. "Speaking of which, what’s going on with you now? Why do you look so shabby!"

Hearing such surprised inquiry, Hu Xiaobei said somewhat aggrievedly, "This is all your fault! You said you missed me, so I came in a hurry. Naturally, I didn’t have much time to tidy up."

"Blaming me again, I wasn’t anxious to see you! Whether you came or not, I didn’t care!"

"Didn’t care? Then what’s posted on your wall? Why did I see it’s all about various articles on me."

"I... I just didn’t have anything to post, so I posted them randomly."

"Haha!"

Hu Xiaobei laughed...

Hu Xiaobei thought it was a bit amusing...

Before, she clearly said she missed him. Now that he appeared in front of her, she began to deny it...

Hu Xiaobei knew this was normal...

Women!

They’re all like this, saying one thing and meaning another.

While Hu Xiaobei was teasing her, the group of people who had been taken away by security earlier gathered together...

They were dealt with by the security...

Almost everyone became lame.

Li Wei glanced at them and said in a low voice, "Tell me, who is that person? Why are those security personnel so apprehensive of him!"

"He is Hu Xiaobei, an invincible presence! Previously, you told us that this time we were dealing with ordinary people; and look what happened!"

After answering, they shouted hysterically...

For the mere sum of one hundred thousand yuan, they lost a leg...

This made their hatred toward Li Wei reach an extreme...

Li Wei heard their words and said lowly, "What do you mean by an invincible presence? Explain it to me. I really don’t believe there’s anyone truly invincible."

"You don’t believe it?"

With cold smiles, they shared some information about Hu Xiaobei...

Because there was too much, they simply discussed some of the most important points.

At first, Li Wei’s expression remained calm...

Gradually, his expression turned awkward...

Because according to their description, Hu Xiaobei was indeed an absolutely terrifying presence.

Seeing him awkwardly silent, the few of them sneered, "Do you believe it now? Really don’t know what’s in your mind to dare provoke Master Xiaobei!"

Being reprimanded like this, his expression was particularly awkward...

He finally understood why Song Yaling earlier looked at him as if he were a fool...

As it turns out, he really was a complete fool.
