When the blue and white bus arrived at the scene.
The Bai Family saw a pile of menâs corpses lying on the ground, and a bus full of panicked girls.
Red blood was flowing from the corpses, mixing with the black blood scent coming from the nearby towns.
The smell was indescribable, making one not want a second whiff.
"...Wang Ge?"
Bai Anhai stared in surprise at the cold-looking young man standing in front of him, feeling something was off.
In his impression, Wang Ge was always a quirky figure, whose actions were difficult to understand for ordinary people.
However, now his eyes were clear, and he exuded a sharp aura, with droplets of bright red blood slowly dripping from his fingertips.
He didnât look like a mentally ill person at all.
The blood wasnât Wang Geâs; it belonged to the human traffickers Wang Ge had killed.
Bai Yifan stood pale-faced to the side, looking at Wang Geâs slender, reddened fingers.
As a high school student, it was quite overwhelming for Bai Yifan to witness such a scene.
When Wang Ge saw the Bai Family appear, his eyes flickered slightly.
His face instantly adopted a dazed expression.
The hollow eyes glanced slightly at the beautiful girl behind him, and the dazed expression suddenly became a bit clearer.
The dazed expression looked silly and unattractive, and gave the impression of low intelligence.
It seemed to affect his image somewhat.
"Xiao..."
Bai Xiqin called out to Bai Yifan, whose face was pale, but was interrupted by Bai Yifan lunging over.
Bai Yifan clutched Bai Xiqinâs wrist tightly, turning his back against Wang Ge, and gave a barely noticeable shake of his head while crying to Bai Xiqin.
Sis, my dear sister, please donât expose me!
If outsiders knew about his cross-dressing, his masculinity would be utterly gone.
"Yiyi, are you alright?"
Bai Xiqin blinked, reacting quickly.
Her brother was already in such a miserable state, and as a sister, she needed to maintain his dignity in front of others.
Bai Yifan felt a slight relief seeing that Bai Xiqin got his hint.
If he could hold on a bit longer, his identity wouldnât be exposed.
"She canât speak."
Wang Geâs cold voice rang out, his eyes coldly looking at Bai Yifanâs flustered fingers.
He spoke in a declarative sentence.
"Yes, he canât speak." Bai Xiqin saw Bai Yifanâs eyes darting about and started talking nonsense, "Heâs Yiyi, a mute girl we picked up along the way, dependent."
Wang Ge looked at Bai Xiqin without expression, neither responding nor questioning.
"Wang Ge, whereâs your dad? Why donât I see him?"
Bai Anhai glanced around, not seeing Dean Wang and feeling a bit puzzled.
Why would Dean Wang let his son out alone?
Or did Wang Ge wander off again?
Wang Ge glanced at Bai Anhai but did not answer his question, his cold gaze resting for a moment on Bai Yifanâs slender fingers.
The slender fingers seemed to tremble slightly from nervousness.
The fingers clutched Bai Xiqinâs sleeve tightly, appearing to be in a close relationship.
The cold aura around Wang Ge slowly dissipated, but his brows furrowed slightly.
"Wang Ge, did you get lost coming here alone? If you canât remember the way home, you can temporarily travel with us."
Bai Anhai wasnât angry when Wang Ge didnât respond to him.
Who would bother arguing with a mentally ill person?
The Wang father and son were acquaintances with them, not close but had met a few times by chance.
After all, Wang Ge had a motorcycle, so he could follow the bus on his bike later.
The Tongji Hospital wasnât too far from here, so they could just drop him nearby.
Wang Ge still didnât respond to Bai Anhai, his bloodied fingers rubbing back and forth on the white T-shirt, soon staining the white short-sleeve with blood.
After wiping his hands clean, Wang Ge stepped toward Bai Yifan.
Bai Yifan saw Wang Ge approaching, swallowed nervously, and held on tightly to Bai Xiqinâs sleeve.
This was bad, please donât let him recognize me!
The last thing he wanted was to be mocked in the future while marrying a wife for having been a cross-dresser.
Wang Ge expressionlessly reached into his pocket, holding his fist in front of Bai Yifan.
Bai Yifan blinked, silently stepping back a pace.
Wang Ge frowned, slightly shaking his fingers.
Bai Yifan tentatively extended his fingers.
Emotionless, Wang Ge opened his fist, dropping three foil-wrapped objects from his grasp.
Bai Yifan rubbed the foil with his finger, finding it somewhat familiar.
Before Bai Yifan could unwrap the foil, Wang Ge was already seated on his motorcycle.
The motorcycle roared boastfully as it sped in one direction, raising a cloud of dust.
Bai Yifan quickly opened one of the foils, and a rich milky aroma immediately wafted through.
...These were dairy tablets Bai Yifan had previously given to Wang Ge.
"Damn! Iâve been found out!"
Bai Yifan cursed dejectedly, feeling utterly hopeless.
Wang Ge must have guessed his identity, thatâs why he returned the dairy tablets!
If only there were a hole in the ground, Bai Yifan could crawl into it.
All he wanted right now was to be alone in peace.
His manly dignity was gone.
Being discovered as a cross-dresser condemned him to a lifetime of ridicule.
Bai Yifan squatted half-heartedly on the ground; ever since the disaster, it was the second time his manly dignity was trampled on.
"Think positively, maybe he hasnât noticed! Maybe he simply thought you looked good, so he gave you the dairy tablets," Bai Xiqin patted Bai Yifan sympathetically on the shoulder.
"Sis, canât you comfort someone differently? What you said just made me more upset."
Bai Yifan ground the dairy tablets fiercely in his mouth, speechless at Bai Xiqinâs words.
After all, he was someone who had a girlfriend and must uphold masculine virtues.
What Sis said was utterly irresponsible.
Although Xiao Ling didnât understand much about these matters, Bai Yifan still felt a need to remain chaste for her.
"But..." Bai Yifan stroked his chin, muttering to himself as he looked in the direction Wang Ge had left, "Since heâs mentally ill, he probably wonât go around talking about my cross-dressing."
It seemed not too many acquaintances would know either.
With this self-assurance, Bai Yifanâs face showed less dejection.
Holding the remaining two foil-wrapped dairy tablets in his hand, Bai Yifan felt he hadnât come out empty-handed after all.
At the very least, he regained three pieces of dairy tablets!
"Are you here to rescue us?"
Inside the blue bus, a chorus of sobbing girls could be heard, followed by a gentle female voice.
The sound of this young girlâs voice was extremely gentle, with an inexplicable calmness.
In the apocalypse, for a girl to be this composed, she must be a girl with great strength.
"You are safe now, you can follow this road directly to the Fire Phoenix Safety Base. While itâs still early, set out quickly!" Bai Xiqin said.
"You... arenât you going to take us back?"
Another girlâs sharp voice sounded.
The sharp voice carried an air of arrogance, making it somewhat uncomfortable to hear.
