Chapter 125 Farewell
“Okay, we got it.
Big Daddy, don't worry, we will patrol all the nearby towns.
As for the issues concerning the highway and motorcycle, it all depends on you, Big Daddy.
By the way, Big Daddy, please leave me a motorcycle of the best quality. I will use it.
Well, that's it for now, we'll talk again when we get home tonight." Caesar hung up the phone and looked at Bai Zhi, who was leaning on his motorcycle not far away and staring at the wilderness in a daze.
After this incident, Caesar's original superficial and vague impression of Bai Zhi as a "handsome guy" has changed a lot.
Compared to the overly outstanding appearance, the danger that can be detected at first sight is what deserves more attention.
Caesar looked at Bai Zhi's back and became more and more curious about this new friend. He was polite to others, but his methods of dealing with enemies were extremely violent and rough.
Coldness and gentleness, these two contradictory temperaments are strangely combined in this person.
Although Caesar was thick-skinned, he was not stupid. She could still sense Bai Zhi's polite and distant behavior.
But when they encountered danger, his decisive actions out of concern for their safety just happened to reveal Bai Zhi's kind nature.
Caesar had never seen such a contradictory and introverted person.
The Outer Ring is a vast, desolate land, and the people it nurtures are mostly bold and unrestrained. There are very few people with deep thoughts or delicate personalities.
As for the people in the city, Caesar didn't know or interact with many of them except for business dealings.
Caesar's most familiar and closest city dweller, the arrogant eldest daughter Lucy, always likes to cover up her feelings in an awkward way when speaking, but her personality is still straightforward and frank and cute.
Wright compared Bai Zhi to a "winter night", and Caesar seemed to understand a little bit now.
However, a "winter night" should have a bonfire, friends and wine, and it should be lively and lively, so you won't feel cold!
Caesar encouraged herself. Although Bai Zhi's personality was introverted, which was something she had never met before, this was not an obstacle to making friends.
As friends, we should tolerate each other and accept each other's differences!
"Caesar, you can do it!
Na Wei is a good person. As long as you stop being obsessed with people's faces, you will definitely be able to make this friend! "Caesar took a deep breath, prepared himself mentally, and walked towards Bai Zhi with a determined look on his face.
“…That’s not that serious.” Lucy looked at Caesar’s expression of “dying heroically” and complained with disdain: “Caesar, this guy, usually has nerves as thick as steel.
Calling others brothers and sisters, hanging out with them, never caring about their gender or appearance! ?
Even if Na Wei's face is indeed handsome enough to debut as an idol star, he doesn't have to act so unpromising, right? "
"Lucy, this is what you don't understand." Paipai lazily explained to Lucy: "Although Caesar looks carefree, she is still a young girl after all.
Lucy, you are the eldest daughter of the city. You must have seen many big stars and various types of handsome guys in your daily life.
But the men in the outer ring are all beasts pursuing power.
He usually rides bikes and fights, is exposed to the wind and sun, and doesn't care about his appearance.
Caesar had never seen a handsome guy like Nawei, who looked powerful, dangerous, cold and melancholy.
This gap is like the difference between big braces and an expensive and delicate sports car.
It’s normal to be at a loss and not know how to get along when you meet someone for the first time~”
"Pai Pai, you are really good at metaphors..." Lucy looked speechlessly at Pai Pai, who was obviously a loli but always spoke in an old-fashioned tone, like an experienced person.
The two people talking not far away were a cheerful motorcycle girl with a slightly shy look and a taciturn tall man of unknown origin.
If this were the beginning of a romance comic, it might make people smile uncontrollably.
But as a friend, Lucy just wanted to go over and wake up her foolish leader who was dazzled by the beauty of the "vixen".
There are so many men in the world, why do you have to meet this one? He looks like a dangerous person who is not just an ordinary person?!
If it weren't for the attitude Bai Zhi has shown so far, which has always been polite and distant, as if he doesn't want to interact too much with them.
Lucy began to suspect that this man was deliberately contacting them [Sons of Calydon] and was a bad guy with ulterior motives.
When Lucy was at "home", although she was reluctant, she had seen too many hypocritical men who deliberately showed their affection to her.
Although Lucy wasn't the main target of that kind of people at her age, there were always some disgusting bugs who, with the bad intention of teasing an ignorant little girl, tried to approach and curry favor with her.
Therefore, Lucy has always been dismissive of Caesar's belief in the romantic plots in love comics and his innocent girlish feelings.
But out of friendship, Lucy didn't want to deliberately discourage Caesar's rare little girl thoughts.
Anyway, one day, Caesar himself will recognize the true face of so-called "love".
However, Lucy never thought that Caesar, a muscle idiot whose mind was always thinking about getting stronger, would actually show such a shy expression to someone.
Come on! That's Caesar, the one who would hit Wright in the face when he fought!
Is it because their Wright isn't handsome enough?!
Lucy puffed out her cheeks and glared angrily at the back of Bai Zhi's head. So, no matter how you look at it, Caesar's unusual behavior is the fault of this unknown man!
As the military advisor and advisor to the Son of Calydon, Luciana de Monteflé would definitely keep a close eye on this "Navi" and expose his true identity!
Bai Zhi felt like his back was burning, and a drop of cold sweat appeared on his forehead. He lowered his head and asked Caesar in a low voice: "Excuse me, have I done anything rude or misleading?
Why has Miss Lucy been glaring at me since just now, looking like she has something against me?"
"Eh!? Really?" Caesar tilted his head and looked at Lucy, who glared at him with sparkling eyes. He scratched his head in confusion and said, "Maybe she's mad at me?!
Lucy was actually quite clingy sometimes. When she first met Wright and Bernice, she seemed to be sulking for a while.
She said I was just bringing someone back. But soon, Lucy treated them both as her own and made all the arrangements very clear.
So, Nawei, don't worry too much. I'll just talk to Lucy later."
"...I understand. It seems that Miss Lucy cares about you very much." After hearing what Caesar said, Bai Zhi was amused by the cute little emotions between girls' friendship.
This reminded Bai Zhi that when his sister was in kindergarten, she once complained to him that her friends would play with the kids in the next class instead of being her best friend.
However, not long after, the small group of two people became three people.
When they were video chatting, the scene of his sister hugging two equally cute little girls on both sides and letting them call her brother together reappeared in Bai Zhi's mind.
Caesar looked at the soft smile in Bai Zhi's eyes and couldn't help but smile even bigger.
The problem that made him unconsciously nervous when he saw Bai Zhi's face suddenly disappeared without a cure.
"Right! Lucy is so cute!
Although he refused to admit it, he always said that he wanted to defeat me and become the boss.
But I know that she actually regards me as an important friend.
It's just that Lucy is shy and doesn't want to say it directly." Caesar said loudly with a bright smile.
"Caesar!! What nonsense are you talking about!!" However, as soon as the words fell, Lucy's angry roar was heard behind Caesar.
Lucy originally wanted to interrupt the conversation between Bai Zhi and Caesar and didn't want them to talk alone, but she didn't expect Caesar to be talking about her with someone he didn't know.
Lucy blushed instantly and swung the bat, feeling that all her worries and feelings had been wasted. She was going to die with this idiot!
Bai Zhi felt that his biggest progress today was that he learned to remain calm when Caesar and Lucy were fighting, and then skillfully made room for them.
This was probably how the Sons of Calydon communicated internally. Bai Zhi retreated to Wright's side and said to him with some emotion.
Wright: ...
"I plan to go back to the city." Bai Zhi didn't notice Wright's complicated expression and suddenly spoke.
"Huh? You don't plan to continue looking at the venue?" Wright asked in surprise.
"Well, I've troubled you a lot today.
Originally, I just wanted to take a look and get some information about the outer ring.
But I didn't expect so many unexpected situations to happen. And didn't that Mr. Overlord just now ask you to patrol the nearby town?
I actually have some unresolved business in town, so I figured I'd leave it at that for now.
I plan to go back to the city first so that you don’t have to worry about taking care of me.”
"Ah! Are we leaving now?" Bernice clenched the arrow in her hand, grabbed Bai Zhi's sleeve and said reluctantly, "Is it something important? If not, why not stay one more night?
I'd like to invite you to try another special blend."
"...Thank you, Miss Bernice, I received your kindness.
As for your special drink, leave it to other guests who can appreciate it.
I really plan to quit drinking." When Bai Zhi heard the special tune, the nerves in the corners of his eyes twitched.
The experience of opening your eyes and waking up in a stranger's bed is enough just once.
"Oh! Life would be so much less fun without alcohol!? As for your drinking capacity, you'll get it with practice.
It really doesn’t have to be that serious to ban alcohol!”
"Wow... I'm leaving. In that case, I'll drive you back." Paipai came over when she heard the word "leave." She had brought him from the city, and now they were friends, so it was natural for her to take him back.
"No need to trouble you, Miss Paipai." Bai Zhi asked Caesar, who heard that he was leaving for a temporary truce, "Can I borrow a motorcycle?"
"Navi, you've only just learned how to ride a motorcycle. You're not planning on riding back to the city by yourself, are you? That's not okay!
As you can see, the Outer Ring Road is a bit chaotic right now. We're worried about you leaving on your own." Caesar said firmly, "Either you come back to the base with us and I'll ask someone to go to the city to pick you up tomorrow, or you can have Paipai take you back to the city."
Nawei, which one do you choose?"
"There's really no need to worry so much. I think you've already seen that I have the ability to protect myself." Bai Zhi shook his head and still insisted on going back to the city by himself.
"Okay, Caesar. Don't you see that Na Wei is in a difficult situation?" Although Lucy wanted Bai Zhi to get out of here immediately, she still said a few fair words on Bai Zhi's behalf. "Robbers do it to gain benefits.
The wealth that one person can obtain is far less than that of a caravan.
Besides, our current location is about the same distance as returning to our base or going directly back to the city.
If you are really worried, why not exchange contact information so that we can keep in touch on the road?
This way, if anything unexpected happens, we can get the news immediately."
"But……"
"Forget about that but, think about that big pothole on the road.
If we really meet, the one who should be worried about him shouldn't be Nawei! ? "
Caesar looked at Lucy, then at Bai Zhi, and finally had to agree with Lucy's opinion.
"Thank you very much for your consideration, Miss Lucy. But there's no need to communicate." Bai Zhi said with some embarrassment: "I don't have a cell phone right now."
"What? Your phone is missing?" Bernice asked in confusion, "But I didn't touch your belongings yesterday!
Your clothes were taken off by Wright, but I have kept your bag and weapons in good condition.
Was it taken away by someone before this?
Nawei, what does your phone look like? I’ll help you find it.”
"No, my phone broke a while ago. Since I don't have anyone I need to contact specifically, I didn't rush to buy a new one." Actually, Bai Zhi was just being stingy and hadn't bought one at all. With Bai Zhi's status, he rarely needed to contact anyone, so he just left it all to Fu Fu or a public phone.
"Nawei..." Caesar looked at Bai Zhi and said calmly, "There is no one to contact," such sad words.
Relying on his past experience of reading comics, Caesar couldn't help but attribute all kinds of melodramatic plots of the male protagonist's life experiences to Bai Zhi.
Caesar, with a serious expression, grasped his shoulders and said, “You will have it later!
If you encounter any problems again in the future, you must contact us!"
Looking at everyone who was silent for some reason, even Lucy had a look of regret on her face.
"...Thank you?" Bai Zhi thought bewilderedly, "Did I say anything special just now?"
Small Theater
Lucy, who couldn't sleep in the middle of the night, sat up suddenly: ...Is he playing the victim? !
Bai Zhi with an innocent look: I didn’t say anything?
[Son of Calydon] My First Impression of Bai Zhi (Part 2)
Caesar (blushing): A handsome guy—a handsome guy who’s a little dangerous—a handsome guy who seems to be having a miserable life!
Lucy: ...Caesar is such an idiot that there's no hope.
The person claiming to be "Navi" has an unknown origin and unknown strength. But he is definitely a dangerous person, so be careful!
