"You will not lose with a 3% barometer raise, quack…." Yaya looked at Lai Jiayi with a worried expression.
'Jia's fever is still high. Does she still want to go to the daycare??'
"We don't know about the other players. They can...raise more than 3%." Lai Jiayi squinted and slowly went down the stairs. The girl wobbled a bit as she gripped the stairs handle, looking like she could fall anytime.
"You are so stubborn, quack!!" Yaya quickly followed after while shouting. "Do you want to infect Zhao Yun with your fever, quack??"
Yaya's words just stopped Lai Jiayi's steps. The girl turned around and patted her forehead. "Ah, I forgot. Can you bring me that surgical mask?" Lai Jiayi pointed at her room.
….what??
Yaya's jaw dropped to the floor. His body trembled, and he abruptly turned around to take the mask.
"Hmp, hmp! So you think you better wear a mask and still go rather than stay home, quack!!" Yaya grumbled alone as he took the mask. Once he got it, the duck floated back to Lai Jiayi's place.
"There, your mask, quack!" Yaya threw the mask. The green-ish mask fluttered in the air and softly landed on Lai Jiayi's palm.
Lai Jiayi just smiled wryly and quickly wore it. "Thank you.." The girl thanked Yaya with her hoarse voice. Now that she wore a mask, only her eyes could be seen. She looked more sickly now.
"We go to the daycare by bicycle, quack?" Yaya lowered his eyes as he followed Lai Jiayi down the stairs.
The snow was raining heavily outside, and it would be a suicidal move to use a bicycle.
"...maybe I'll get public transportation." Lai Jiayi coughed again as she slowly went out of the internet cafe.
At this moment, Shan Liang was coincidentally tending the customers of her internet café. Thus, the girl didn't see Lai Jiayi coming out of the store.
"...good choice, quack. We can't use a bicycle– " Yaya hadn't continued his words when he caught sight of four people waiting not far from the internet cafe.
It was three guys and a girl.
One could see the girl wore a pink one-piece and warm-looking fur cape. She was standing in front of the internet cafe's entrance with three teenagers. The guys all wore futuristic clothes plus a long cloak.
"Are they…" Yaya squinted when Lai Jiayi's voice sounded in his mind.
[Those are Xuan Lincheng and her underlings.] Lai Jiayi gripped her left arm tightly. Her head felt like being split apart, and now seeing three guys, she wanted to puke.
! Xuan Lincheng??
[Why are they here, quack– ]
[Xuan Lincheng is trying to pick a fight. That's for sure.] Lai Jiayi gulped. The girl averted her eyes and chose to avoid the four people, pretending never to see them.
The wind blew strong, and the white snow just covered almost all the road. Everything was white and cold, totally unlike yesterday.
[Let's avoid them for now. Don't react, no matter what they might do.] Lai Jiayi lifted her scarf and lowered her head. She walked to the right, trying to be low key, but then, Bunnie saw the girl.
The blue rabbit hesitated before she spoke to Xuan Lincheng. [M-milady, that's Lai Jiayi…] The bunny pointed at Lai Jiayi's direction with her left ear.
Once Xuan Lincheng heard this, she immediately tugged the corner of her lips, forming a sinister smile.
"Guys, that's the girl. Let's get her." Xuan Lincheng clapped her hands, and the three minions behind them instantly dashed toward Lai Jiayi.
Lai Jiayi was walking away from the internet cafe, but she wasn't far enough yet when Yaya shouted in the girl's mind.
[Jia, those four are following you, quack! What to do?? Run, quack??] Yaya looked back and flinched.
'Damn it. Why are they chasing after us?? If only Jia isn't sick right now. She can fight back!!'
Lai Jiayi furrowed her eyebrows and halted her steps. The girl abruptly turned around and walked back toward the internet cafe.
?? What the heck– Why is Jia going back to that way?! She will meet Xuan Lincheng and the others!
[What are you doing, quack– ]
[Change of plan. Stay as close as you can to the internet cafe.] Lai Jiayi speeded up, and she was now back at the front of the Internet cafe. Of course, that way, she instantly met Xuan Lincheng and the others.
Yaya was baffled. The duck followed from behind and stopped once he saw Xuan Lincheng, and the guys were only a few meters away from Lai Jiayi's place.
[Why are you going back, quack?? I thought we would run and avoid them, quack?! Isn't it safer to be at the daycare with Zhao Yun– ]
[They would have caught up before I could go to the daycare. If that happens…] Lai Jiayi gulped. Her eyes scanned the four people walking leisurely toward her.
[No one will be able to save me.]
'It's better to be here in front of the internet café. The customers can see me if something happens to me, and Shan Liang can also find me fast.'
Lai Jiayi tightened her fists and inhaled deeply. Cold air entered her lung, calming her mind but somehow just burned her forehead.
'I can't go to the daycare, huh? As long as they're here...ugh. I don't even know why they come to get me!'
Lai Jiayi glanced at the guys behind Xuan Lincheng and paused.
'They're not those three I kicked. So...they're not here for revenge. Then what's their business?'
This is so abrupt!!
