Chapter 905
The Desolate Mountain Village
Upon hearing Bai Susu's question, Zhao Yuntao suppressed the sadness in his heart and quickly transformed his bitter face into a smiling one.
After calming herself down, she put on a sincere tone and said to Bai Susu, "Dr. Bai, I don't mean anything by it. I just feel... I feel that you and my brother are too good to be a couple. Hearing you say that you don't like my brother made me feel bad for him. I was just too worried about my brother's marriage, that's why I was so upset. I'm fine!"
Hearing Zhao Yuntao's insincere words, Xu Bo'an couldn't help but laugh and say to Zhao Yuntao, "Little Tao Tao, in that case, I should thank you for your trouble! And if you're sad, just show it. To be honest, your fake smile is uglier than crying!"
Zhao Yuntao looked at Xu Bo'an and said, "Brother, I've been so worried about your marriage, how can you make fun of me like this!"
Xu Bo'an said, "You know best why you're sad, I can't even be bothered to answer you!"
Bai Susu couldn't stand Xu Bo'an's words anymore. Zhao Yuntao was upset because he was thinking of him, but Xu Bo'an not only didn't appreciate it, he even ridiculed him. How come she never noticed before that Xu Bo'an was so heartless?
So Bai Susu said to Zhao Yuntao, "The fact that you can think so much about your brother shows that you are very considerate and kind. But look at Bo'an, he's not sad at all. Why are you so sad? Today is your birthday. Don't be sad about things that aren't worth being sad about. You should be happy!"
Bai Susu was actually a little angry when she said this, because Zhao Yuntao was very sad after she told him that she didn't like Xu Bo'an, but Xu Bo'an didn't seem sad at all. On the contrary, he seemed quite happy. Did saying that she didn't like him make him so happy?
Bai Susu graduated from a prestigious university and is a knowledgeable and well-mannered person. She was the campus beauty and had countless suitors, but even so, she did not develop an arrogant personality and always maintained a low-key and humble attitude towards others.
She, who was so outstanding, didn't think she was particularly bad either, so why did Xu Bo'an seem so happy when she said she didn't like him? Unaware of the specifics, Bai Susu felt that Xu Bo'an's happiness was a complete humiliation to her, so she was still very angry.
After hearing Bai Susu's comforting words, Zhao Yuntao said to her, "Thank you, Dr. Bai. You are the most understanding person!"
The group chatted and ate together. After finishing their meal, Xu Bo'an and Bai Susu said goodbye to Zhao Yuntao and left his villa.
Xu Bo'an then sent Bai Susu back home before returning to his own.
Today's birthday was the most unforgettable one Zhao Yuntao had ever had. He had spent a fortune hiring a chef, lost the chance to receive the restaurant's prized dish for free, and now he had to work as Xu Bo'an's male nanny for a year. Zhao Yuntao felt this was the most disappointing and darkest moment of his life. That night, Zhao Yuntao tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep.
Meanwhile, Bai Susu was also quite heartbroken. After all, she had developed a strong liking for Xu Bo'an over this period of time. She never expected that when she said she didn't like him, Xu Bo'an would not only not be sad but would also seem very happy. This was unacceptable to Bai Susu. She thought that from now on, she would just follow Xu Bo'an and study medicine diligently, and would never do anything that would humiliate her again.
Only Xu Bo'an was in a pretty good mood. He returned to the villa, humming a song as he quickly washed up. Then he went to his room, checked on the bonsai world, and lay down to rest!
Meanwhile, on another mountain within the Bonsai World, there lived bandits—the same group led by Master Xie and Sixth Leader who had previously fought Yan Shouyi. Some time ago, Master Xie subdued a giant mosquito and tasked Sixth Leader with finding the remaining giant mosquitoes to subdue. If Sixth Leader couldn't find them, Master Xie would settle accounts with him. Not only could Sixth Leader not find them, but even if he did, he would be no match for those giant mosquitoes.
Back when they encountered that giant mosquito, even a group of soldiers working together couldn't defeat it, let alone the Sixth Master. But Master Xie's strength was undeniable, and the Sixth Master didn't dare to disobey. So, the Sixth Master could only go back and report to the First Master before making a decision!
After the sixth leader went back and reported the matter to the first leader, the first leader was also in a dilemma. After all, Master Xie was the strategist of his village and his strength was extraordinary. Although he was the one who made the decisions in the village, he still had to give Master Xie some face. If he offended Master Xie, the village would definitely not be at peace.
But the sixth leader was his brother who had risked his life for so many years, and he didn't want the sixth leader to lose his life in vain!
So the leader of the gang went to Master Xie to talk about the matter, hoping that Master Xie would not make things difficult for his brothers. However, Master Xie was very persistent. In the end, the leader of the gang gave Master Xie a sum of money before Master Xie agreed not to let the sixth leader find those giant mosquitoes for him.
However, Master Xie instructed the leader to send other people to search for the giant mosquitoes, claiming that if all the giant mosquitoes were found, he could subdue them all and become invincible, thus better assisting the leader in expanding his territory.
After hearing Master Xie's words, the chief leader saw that Master Xie indeed had the ability, so he agreed to Master Xie's request.
For some time now, the village has been sending out about ten people in batches to search for the giant mosquitoes. However, instead of finding the giant mosquitoes, the people sent out have become food for the mosquitoes, and they have all been drained of their lifeblood and lost their lives.
As a result, the village was thrown into a state of panic. The bandits in the village were constantly on edge, fearing that they would be the next ones to be sent out to find the giant mosquito. They all wanted to leave the village and seek refuge with another family, but under Master Xie's pressure, no one dared to suggest leaving and could only grit their teeth and continue to stay.
Hearing of the terrible things happening in the village, outsiders dared not seek refuge there. The village's population was fixed, and with no new people joining, its numbers dwindled sharply. What was once the most populous village in the area had recently become desolate and deserted. (End of Chapter)
