But then they noticed that the Big Mac hamburger in front of the helmeted man had been half-eaten. "Alright, now we're accomplices."
Yugong Liuli's heart trembled slightly. They had only known each other for a short while and didn't even know each other's names. Why would the other person be willing to die with her?
"You... you're a good person."
A pang of sadness welled up in Yugong Liuli's eyes. She knew she couldn't let a good person down, so she decisively pulled the half-eaten Big Mac from the helmeted man's hand in front of her, her voice trembling, and said, "I ate both hamburgers. It has nothing to do with you."
The helmeted man was stunned. Things had turned out differently than he expected. It was a strange feeling. Ever since he picked up Yugong Liuli at the airport exit, he had thought that she was deliberately cooperating with his performance.
After all, she's a rich heiress who can spend millions on her King of Glory account without batting an eye. She must be a beautiful and intelligent prodigy!
Her beauty was truly exceptional; her hair was as smooth as purple satin, her face was pure and lovely, her doe eyes sparkled like rubies, and her flawless, milky-white skin was like white jade stripped from its stone sheath.
But her intelligence... seems to be in the negative, her naivety is astonishing, she has no basic common sense, like Princess trapped in a demon king's castle, isolated from the world and never having been exposed to society.
The helmeted man asked, "Have you ever dined and dashed?"
What is a "free meal"?
"They just eat there and run away without paying!"
"Will they still sentence me to death?" Yugong Liuli asked nervously.
The helmeted man stood up and said, "As long as I can run home, I won't be sentenced to death."
Yugong Liuli's eyes lit up, then she lowered them, her gaze dimming as she said, "My home is in Japan; I can't go back."
"Would you like to come home with me?"
Looking up at the helmeted man standing against the light, Yugong Liuli's heart trembled slightly. She knew she shouldn't go home with strangers—a lesson even a three-year-old could grasp—but her subconscious told her that the man wasn't a stranger, but a trustworthy acquaintance.
"Good."
Yugong Liuli reached out and took the helmeted man's hand. This was the first time he had held hands with a woman other than his younger brother, Nishang. It felt warm, safe, and reliable.
The helmeted man lifted the suitcase with one hand and said in a low voice, "I'll count to three, and then we'll start running!"
Yugong Liuli nodded nervously.
"Three! Run!"
"Huh?"
Yugong Liuli stumbled along, completely bewildered. "They said they'd start running on a count of three! What's with the count of three right off the bat?"
Soon, the two ran into the ground-level parking lot.
The helmeted man put on his gloves and pushed a BMW S1000rr motorcycle, co-branded with Imperial Emperor Steed, out of the parking space. "Have you ever ridden a motorcycle before?"
No... no.
Looking at the gold, white, red, and blue motorcycle in front of her, Yugong Liuli felt it looked very familiar. She seemed to have ordered a similar motorcycle as a birthday gift for her senior.
However, not knowing the address of their senior Jiangcheng, they directly gave the motorcycle to their Captain of Sovereign Dominion Exalted Emperor.
Speaking of Exalted Emperor...
Before boarding her flight in Japan, she sent a QQ message to Exalted Emperor, saying that she would be coming to Jiangcheng and joining the team Clash of Kings. The other party was very happy and asked if she wanted him to pick her up at the airport.
Because she knew Exalted Emperor's family address, and since she would arrive in Jiangcheng in the middle of the night, she didn't want to disturb them, so she politely declined.
Exalted Emperor didn't insist any further, but before the chat ended, he asked her for the arrival information of his flight.
"He voluntarily sat down."
"Oh oh."
"Put your helmet on."
"OK."
Yugong Liuli took the blue Doraemon helmet and clumsily put it on.
"Put your arms around my waist."
"Ah?"
Yugong Liuli's cheeks flushed instantly. She had never hugged a man's waist before, not even her younger brother, Nishang's.
"Hurry up, hurry up!"
"Okay... okay."
Yugong Liuli gritted her teeth, closed her eyes, and wrapped her arms around the helmeted man's waist. Her first feeling was that he was very hard, and her second feeling was still that he was very hard!
Ang ang ang~
The helmeted man revved the engine, preparing to launch himself, but seeing the trembling and frightened Yugong Liuli in his rearview mirror, he started smoothly and entered the highway, riding at the minimum speed limit of 60 km/h.
That is, if it were Yugong Liuli in the back seat, and his sister were in the back seat, on a road without speed cameras, she would definitely be speeding at 180 km/h!
"After all, it's Liuli. As long as she gets home safely, that's all that matters."
Jiangcheng, Huating Residential Complex.
Yugong Liuli stood in front of the helmeted man's house, her hands gripping the suitcase handle tightly, her whole body tense with nervousness. Although the man was a good person, it was still unsafe for her, a girl, to be in a stranger's house.
"Should we slip away while he's parking the car?"
Yugong Liuli's face showed a look of struggle and inner conflict.
At this moment.
The security door suddenly opened, and a beautiful figure in a navy blue schoolgirl uniform stepped out, exclaiming with delight, "Is that Sister Liuli?"
"Little... Xiao Jiang sister?"
Yugong Liuli's eyes widened, and she froze on the spot. That familiar face, that familiar voice, that familiar sailor uniform—wasn't it none other than Exalted Emperor's younger sister, Jiang Sui?
"Please come in, please come in."
Jiang Sui linked arms with Liuli and offered to help with her suitcase. " Sister Liuli, we've all been waiting for you for ages."
Yugong Liuli's mind went blank. Wasn't this the helmeted man's house? How could her old friend's sister have walked out? Was she dreaming?
"Woqu."
On the living room sofa, Huyan Lan stared in amazement, pinching Yugong Liuli's plump cheek and exclaiming, " Liuli, how do you take care of your skin? It's so delicate, smooth, and fair!"
Yugong Liuli stammered, "Well... I usually put on a hydrating face mask before bed."
Huyan Lan pressed on, "What brand of face mask is it?"
"Ka... Kaleiman."
" Kaleiman?"
Huyan Lan gasped. Kaleiman is a top-tier global luxury face mask brand, specially supplied to royalty and nobility. A single set of moisturizing face masks costs at least a million RMB. Even with an annual income of tens of millions, she simply couldn't afford it!
Most importantly,
"Excuse me."
"I brought some Kaleiman face masks with me." Yugong Liuli opened her suitcase, took out the face masks, and said sincerely, "Sister Lan, if you don't mind, you can take them."
Huyan Lan's eyes lit up. "How could I possibly accept this?"
No woman can resist the allure of fairer skin, and she was no exception. Without hesitation, she patted Da Lei and assured him, " Liuli, from now on, your affairs are my affairs."
"Holy crap! Is this our Vice Captain Liuli? Wasabi is beautiful?"
Yin Long, who had just emerged from the bedroom, was staring wide-eyed. He was about to rush forward to strike up a conversation when Huyan Lan and kicked him away. "Go to hell, you bastard who's driven by your lower half, stay away from Liuli!"
"What the hell?" Hu Xiao emerged from the kitchen, clutching fried chicken and beer, looking utterly bewildered. "You're Liuli?"
"Yes." Liuli quickly stood up and bowed.
Hu Xiao glanced at the robot version of Little Liuli on the desktop, then at the real-life Liuli, and said incredulously, "She looks both innocent and alluring, like a giant version of a little robot. If I were ten years younger, I would definitely pursue you."
" Deputy Hu Tiger."
Liuli Xue's cheeks flushed red as she pondered something: why were the Exalted Emperor's sister and the three vice-captains of their Sovereign Dominion there in the helmeted man's house? And why was the furnishings in the helmeted man's house almost identical to those of the Crown Exalted Emperor?
I was just thinking about it.
Footsteps came from the entrance hall.
Liuli turned her head and saw that it was indeed the helmeted man himself.
"Yo!"
The helmeted man removed his helmet, a smirk playing on his lips. "Let me reintroduce myself. I'm Su Hang, but you might prefer to call me by another name, Exalted Emperor!"
Liuli tilted her head blankly, her brain seemingly burning out and shutting down.
"Huh?"
