I took a careful look, and finally found a hint of familiarity on the young man's face, "Ah Lei, it's Yun Hao. You've grown so much I almost didn't recognize you. How are you going to send me, by calling a cab?"
In my mind, I only had images of Yun Hao at the ages of around eighteen or nineteen and five or six.
When he had just been reincarnated and hatched, he was still just a little tot.
Right now, he seemed to be about fourteen, situated right between the two ages I remembered, no wonder I found him unfamiliar at first glance.
"No need." Yun Hao snapped his fingers in the air, his eyes filled with a coldness that belied his age.
I couldn't figure out the brief two words he said, and didn't know whether to call a cab on my phone or to keep asking him.
The trip to City B was far too urgent, and I broke out in a sweat from worry.
Fortunately, Yun Hao did not make me wait long.
Only half a minute had passed before a luxurious but understated Cayenne stopped by the roadside.
"Get in, I'll put your luggage in the trunk." Yun Hao gracefully opened the door.
I was caught off guard and somewhat touched, "Thank you, I am really pressed for time. I'm heading to the high-speed train station."
Yun Hao placed my suitcase in the trunk and sat down next to me, "Drive, and fast."
"Yes." The driver hissed in response, a sound that was clearly not human.
It was creepily hair-raising.
Yun Hao was a person so cold in nature he couldn't blend into human society.
One could imagine what sort of creature would serve as his driver…
I sneak a glance; sure enough, the driver was a Snake Servant with a snake's head.
I suddenly felt dizzy, and couldn't help but press hard on my temples, "Yun Hao, using a Snake Servant as a driver, wouldn't it cause trouble if seen on the road?"
"If it can't even perform the simplest Blinding Method, it doesn't deserve to serve me."
Yun Hao sat straight, his posture icy and aloof.
I immediately felt somewhat embarrassed and admitted, "Big brother! That was rash of me, you handle things so meticulous and serious, it's impossible for you to make such a rookie mistake. By the way, why did you suddenly show up... to help me?"
"Since you returned from the Lin Family, I have been in Spring Wind Town." Yun Hao crossed his legs and leaned against the car wall, the epitome of a aloof and cool overlord, "The person who hit you with his car, I personally strangled him."
"Wait, wait, let me take a moment."
I felt every hair on my head, the sweat on my hands, and the fine fuzz on my face explode, "Was it Duan Hong who you killed? Did you strangle him with a wire?"
"I wasn't tall enough then, still too short." Yun Hao's face showed a bit of embarrassment, but his expression overall remained cold and hard.
How could there be such a cute-looking young boy who was so aloof?
Especially considering he possessed a thousand-year-old, ancient heart.
I calculated with my fingers his probable height when he strangled Duan Hong, "It's only been two days, and you've...grown to over one meter seventy, is that even scientific?"
Ah, those four ruffians didn't look like they were driven mad by Hu Jiao.
It was the sight of Duan Hong being strangled to death, scared mad by Yun Hao, leading to Earth Soul trauma…
Poor devil-may-care kids…
"To protect you, I hastened my growth a bit." Yun Hao said briefly, glancing sideways at me, "Though I hate to admit it, you are... akin to my..."
Mother, right!!
So I'm like your mom, aren't I!!
Thank goodness he didn't speak it aloud, otherwise the atmosphere between us would have definitely frozen over.
I was too hasty at that time, focusing only on helping him reincarnate and preserve his life.
I never considered that this matter wouldn't affect me, but seemed to fundamentally alter the psyche of his kind.
That's why he had been keeping guard over me since I left City A.
And even personally avenged my attempted murder.
I coughed lightly and lowered my head to check my phone, "I'll book a high-speed train ticket; I haven't bought one yet."
"Buy two tickets," the young man beside me suggested frostily.
