Ruan Xingzhuo handed his phone to Ruan Xingyao. “Sis, you can use mine.”
Ruan Xingyao shook her head and said, “It’s fine, let’s just end today’s stream here.”
She was exhausted and only wanted to rest for a while.
Seeing this, Ruan Xingzhuo put his phone away again.
He opened a few apps in succession.
Without even searching, he could already see Ruan Xingyao’s stream trending at the top.
Clicking on a few random videos, all of them were clips of Ruan Xingyao summoning and commanding small animals to punish the villains.
The internet had gone wild.
Not only were the viewers who had watched her stream posting clips like crazy, even people who had never watched her streams before were sharing them everywhere.
It could be said that, at this very moment, the whole internet was talking about Ruan Xingyao’s stream.
【Can someone tell me if this is real? This isn’t movie CGI, right?】
【This is way too scary! Does this mean from now on, if this woman doesn’t like someone, she can just sic her animals on them? Wouldn’t that mean ordinary people like us would get bullied to death?!】
【Exactly! People like her are too dangerous! She must be arrested!】
As Ruan Xingzhuo scrolled through these videos and comments, fury surged in his chest.
What on earth were these people thinking?!
Instead of condemning those human traffickers, they were fixating on Ruan Xingyao’s special ability.
It was outrageous!
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became.
Ruan Xingzhuo pulled up Xie Lin and Chen Yu’s chat, his fingers flying furiously across the screen as he typed out a long message, scolding them harshly.
But even after that, the rage in his heart did not subside.
After ordering takeout, You Huan glanced over at the already sleeping Ruan Xingyao, then leaned forward to peek at Ruan Xingzhuo in the front seat.
Seeing how fuming he looked, she reached out a finger to poke his shoulder and whispered, “Ruan Xingzhuo, what’s wrong with you?”
Ruan Xingzhuo turned his head and handed his phone to her.
One look, and You Huan was instantly fuming as well.
She handed his phone back and opened her own app, starting to battle those nonsense-spouting commenters.
However, she alone—or rather, she and Ruan Xingyao together—weren’t nearly enough.
Their comments were buried within seconds under the flood of others.
Fortunately, there were still many of Ruan Xingyao’s fans who spontaneously spoke up for her.
However, even though Ruan Xingyao had quite a few fans, compared to the entire internet, they were like ants trying to shake a tree—completely unable to fight back.
Just as You Huan was preparing to buy out a few hired-comment companies, in the blink of an eye, all the clips of Ruan Xingyao commanding small animals in the livestream disappeared from the entire internet.
Not believing it, You Huan refreshed several times before leaning close to Ruan Xingzhuo’s ear and whispering, “What’s going on? Why did they all suddenly disappear?”
Ruan Xingzhuo also refreshed several times.
Just as he was about to say something, he saw Chen Yu’s reply: “It’s been taken care of. Don’t worry, we won’t let Xingxing suffer any grievance.”
Ruan Xingzhuo handed his phone to You Huan.
You Huan first saw Chen Yu’s reply, which eased her worries.
Then, after quickly scanning through the message Ruan Xingzhuo had sent, her mouth fell open in surprise.
Ruan Xingzhuo turned his head and saw her expression, asking suspiciously, “What is it?”
You Huan shut her mouth, swallowed hard, gave a little cough, and said, “Ruan Xingzhuo, so you can curse at people after all.”
And he had cursed pretty harshly.
It was far beyond what she had imagined of him.
Ruan Xingzhuo turned back with a speechless expression and said, “I’m not a saint. Of course I know how to curse.”
It’s just that he usually held himself to a certain standard.
You Huan couldn’t help but laugh, leaning her head over the seatback and whispering, “Ruan Xingzhuo, you’re so cute. I like you even more now.”
Ruan Xingzhuo: “……”
When someone is speechless, they’re truly speechless.
Not getting a response from him, You Huan pouted a little and sat back properly.
Just as she was about to check how things were going online again, she felt a gaze on her.
She tilted her head and met Ruan Xingyao’s starry, beautiful eyes.
Seeing her look over, Ruan Xingyao playfully blinked at her.
In an instant, You Huan’s cheeks flushed red.
Her head swayed left and right, her eyes darted up and down—anywhere but directly meeting Ruan Xingyao’s gaze.
Not until the car stopped under Ruan Xingyao’s building did You Huan finally cling to her arm, sticky and shy, as they got out together.
Ruan Xingyao wrapped one arm around You Huan’s shoulders, used the other to scratch her chin, and said, “What’s wrong? It’s not like I don’t know you. What are you being shy about?”
You Huan pouted in mock annoyance, “Xingxing.”
“Alright, alright, I won’t say anything.” Ruan Xingyao quickly raised her hand in a gesture of promise.
“But, what were you and Xiao Zhuo talking about earlier?”
You Huan sneaked a mysterious glance at Ruan Xingzhuo, then leaned in close to Ruan Xingyao’s ear to tattletale, whispering, “Xingxing, Ruan Xingzhuo cursed at Chen Yu—and probably at Xie Lin too—and it was pretty dirty.”
Ruan Xingyao let out an “Oh” and said, “They deserved it.”
If her phone hadn’t died, she would have scolded them herself as well.
You Huan nodded in agreement. “You’re right.”
The three of them went upstairs, and not long after, the food You Huan had ordered arrived.
Ruan Xingyao ate heartily, then yawned and went off to her room to sleep.
Before going inside, Ruan Xingyao didn’t forget to tell Ruan Xingzhuo and You Huan, “You two, after you finish eating, remember to take Baiyi out to play for a while, okay?”
Baiyi was about to go stir-crazy from being cooped up at home.
Hearing Ruan Xingyao’s words, Baiyi hopped around in circles, wagging his tail so hard it was like a perpetual motion machine.
“Got it, Sis!” Ruan Xingzhuo said.
After finishing dinner and cleaning up the trash together, Ruan Xingzhuo and You Huan took Baiyi out.
The temperature outside was just right, the sky was clear, and the moon was full.
Naturally, it added a touch of atmosphere.
You Huan held onto Baiyi’s leash while Ruan Xingzhuo walked a few steps ahead to toss the trash into the bin.
Just watching his back, You Huan found herself lost in thought.
When Ruan Xingzhuo turned around, he caught You Huan staring at him with bright, shining eyes.
Feeling a bit self-conscious, he raised his hand to rub his nose and slowly walked back over.
Ruan Xingzhuo said, “Come on, let’s take Baiyi for a walk in the park up ahead.”
Baiyi bounced with excitement, rushing forward impatiently.
Caught off guard, You Huan was suddenly yanked forward when Baiyi pulled hard on the leash.
Her foot slipped on a stone, and with the unlucky twist of momentum, she sprained her ankle and fell to the ground.
She also had no choice but to let go of Baiyi’s leash.
“You Huan!”
Ruan Xingzhuo was startled, immediately crouching down to check her ankle.
Baiyi had dashed off happily for quite a distance before realizing something was wrong, then quickly ran back.
