But this kid seemed to have anticipated his move.
Even before he had finished speaking, he had already taken the book and walked straight to the door.
He was left alone in the room.
If this wasn't intentional, he would have written the character "顾" backwards.
Looking at the leather pants, Gu Xinglan gritted her teeth and finally pulled them up by the hem.
System: [Host!]
He paused in the action of putting on his pants.
"how?"
System: [You can now remove all the bandages and plasters from your body. This system has detected that all your external injuries have healed. Look! This is the effect of the "Rapid Healing" permanent buff bestowed by the Supreme God!]
Now that he said that, he was completely unharmed, showing no signs of distress, and his wounds were neither painful nor itchy.
Gu Xinglan picked up a pair of scissors from the desk and slowly peeled off the bandages and adhesive bandages.
Previously, there were red knife marks everywhere, but now, not only are there no knife marks, but there isn't even a trace of red left.
It's smooth and delicate, like a freshly peeled hard-boiled egg.
If the previous buffs were just troublesome things for him, they would only make him feel deeply powerless.
Now, the buff is so powerful that in just one day, even the scars on the wounds have disappeared.
Whether it was the main god or the administrator, their existence was completely beyond his comprehension.
If you wanted to crush him, it would be as easy as crushing an ant.
This made him inexplicably start to worry about the "punishment mission" mentioned earlier.
"System...can you see Administrator H's performance ranking?"
System: [I can only see the results when Lord H posts them.]
Gu Xinglan lowered her eyes, feeling that her future was bleak.
Not only is Lai Ho Tai difficult to deal with, but his father is also difficult to deal with, not to mention the various children they encounter.
Neither of them are easy to deal with.
System: [Thinking too much creates problems; doing too much creates solutions.]
"You're right..." Gu Xinglan was on the verge of tears, picked up the tight leather pants again, and slowly put them on.
The leather pants have an excellent texture, shimmering under the light, and upon closer inspection, you can even see subtle python patterns.
These are... leather pants made of snakeskin?
After putting it on, Gu Xinglan felt her aura rise several notches.
The father and son have different tastes when it comes to clothes. The former's red dress is a blend of sexiness, elegance, and intellect, while the latter's carries a mature yet subtle aggressiveness.
However, the important thing right now is that he has no shoes to wear.
Those leather shoes were already soaked by the rain.
Left with no other option, I had to walk out barefoot.
It was quiet outside the door. The walls on both sides looked cold and lonely in the shadows. The once smooth walls now only reflected the wildly shaking and swaying shadows and outlines of the trees.
Gu Xinglan, dressed in women's clothing, walked for a long time before finally emerging from the long passage.
More and more servants passed by.
They all had a bitter expression on their faces, which was extremely strange.
"What happened?" he asked, grabbing at someone who was avoiding his gaze.
"Madam, I have something to attend to, you, you..."
This man had a shrewd face, yet he couldn't even speak clearly.
Gu Xinglan raised an eyebrow strangely, and could only awkwardly withdraw her hand.
His panicked and startled expression suggested he was hiding something.
This is how patients always look when they're hiding their illness; he's all too familiar with it.
Soon, we arrived at the room door.
Judging by the time, he hadn't been in his room for several days.
The moment the door opened.
The light emanating from inside almost blinded him.
The ceiling light was replaced with a crystal chandelier, instantly turning the already spotless floor, which was so clean it could be used as a mirror, into a light bulb-like reflection.
Not to mention there was someone emitting golden light inside the room.
This person was none other than Li Taihe.
The man sat on a dark red armchair, wearing thin black-rimmed glasses, his expression focused as he intently looked at his phone; the pages flashing on the lenses clearly indicated he was looking at a document.
Noticing the commotion, the man looked up, his tone deep and cold.
Why did you change your clothes?
The person at the door was tall and slender, wearing a loose green windbreaker that reached his hips, the hem swaying slightly with his steps. His leather pants, in particular, were captivating, with their python pattern subtly visible, exuding a wildness within their understated style. With each step, he moved with powerful strides, each step seemingly carrying the wind. The faint lines of his muscles were still visible beneath his clothes, smooth and neat, and he radiated a unique and charming aura.
Upon seeing the whole picture, Li Taihe raised his eyebrows.
Gu Xinglan slammed the door shut as she quickly entered the room, her face slightly flushed. "I got soaked in the rain. The dress you picked out for me ripped open by itself. I have nothing to wear."
"Hmm, did He Tai send it to you?"
Gu Xinglan raised her eyes and looked at the man's face: "Yes... about what just happened."
"Don't be nervous, it's just an outfit. I just got here myself. You're dressed... very appropriately."
For no apparent reason, he could sense tenderness in the man's words. In particular, he always felt that the man's gaze was like a snake, slowly climbing up from his feet to his neck.
It's disgusting!
They were staring at him so intently that it made his skin crawl!
Gu Xinglan's lips moved for a long time, but she didn't know what to say next.
"Don't you have anything you want to tell me?"
Li Taihe's fingers were long and slender. He put his phone in his pocket, his tone and expression extremely languid.
He almost thought the man had discovered something.
But then, suppressing her panic, Gu Xinglan smiled slightly and said, "I just did a good deed..."
Just as he was about to reveal everything that had just happened...
A ringing bell broke the strange atmosphere in the air.
The man turned on the watch on his wrist.
An aged voice came from inside: "[Master, something has happened here, and I won't be able to return for the time being.]"
It was the villa's butler's voice.
"Let me explain briefly."
[There's a typhoon outside, so I can't go out. I even ran into some people from the old house. They didn't say anything, just reminded you not to forget something important.]
The person on the dark red sofa seemed to change their expression.
"Hmm, are the people at the old house still there? Let them answer the phone."
[He's not here. He's a new guy; I don't know him, but he knows me. He spoke to me and then left. Sir...would you like to call the old house back?]
The cell phone signal is not very good, and there is always a crackling noise when I speak.
But Li Taihe didn't miss a single word, and said in a deep voice, "I'll handle it. If you run into anyone from the old house in the future, call me immediately... Do you have a place to stay now?"
[Thank you for your concern, sir. I am perfectly well.]
After saying that, the other end of the phone hung up.
Gu Xinglan frowned slightly after listening to the whole thing.
An old house?
He couldn't find anything related to it in his mind, and Li Hetai had never mentioned anything about his hometown to him.
In his mind, the Li family was a local tyrant in Wushui, and no project that was to be developed in Wushui could escape the Li family's watchful eye.
But that was just his impression.
A whiff of spikenard wafted past my shoulder.
The man got off the sofa without saying a word, no longer displaying his previous languor, and ignored him.
Then came the sound of the door closing.
With the living Buddha, Li Taihe, gone, the whole room felt much more relaxed.
Gu Xinglan opened the wardrobe.
Several unfamiliar dresses appeared inside without anyone noticing.
In particular, some of the pieces exuded an unusually alluring charm, as if silently revealing someone's hidden orientation.
Didn't see it.
Gu Xinglan avoided the skirts and picked out a loose-fitting tracksuit, which she swung around in for a few seconds.
It's time for dinner.
