Chapter 1: Angels on One Side, Satan on the Other 02
"Master...Master, where are you? Master..."
Just when I was about to cry but had no tears and no one to turn to for help, I saw an old man in a neat suit and a bow tie appear at the entrance of the alley. Behind him were three or four men in the same attire. They looked around and shouted anxiously, "Master, where are you? Master, please don't be willful and answer me!"
Young master?
Could it be that this boy who was holding me like a teddy bear and sleeping soundly with his head on my neck? Is he a rich boy? I thought he was a homeless bum.
Forget it, no matter who he is, I need to find someone to take him away first and give me my freedom. Thinking of this, I hurriedly raised one hand, waved it in the dim light, and shouted in the direction of the old man: "Here, here, come quickly."
The old man in a bow tie heard the sound and ran over immediately. He squatted down and looked carefully at the face of the guy who mistook me for a teddy bear. The anxiety on his face instantly turned into tears of emotion.
He took out a white handkerchief, wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and said, "Master, I finally found you! You guys come quickly and help me get in the car."
Hey, are you ignoring me? Old man, in this situation, the first person you should see is me greeting you, and I am being hugged by your young master like a teddy bear. If you want to help your young master get into the car, you must rescue me first.
"Old man, please, can you help pry his hands apart? I feel so uncomfortable!" Seeing the old man's eyes passing over me and staring at the face of the guy who treated me as a teddy bear, I decided to speak up and defend my right to freedom. "Besides, I still have to deliver food. Please, rescue me first..."
Hearing my voice, the old man moved his eyes slightly towards my face, then pushed up his glasses with a surprised expression: "Huh? Who are you? Why are you holding my young master?"
Come on, what do you mean by "who are you"? I was the one who called you old just now, and your glasses should be replaced, what do you mean by "I am holding your young master", it is obviously your young master who is holding me!
The corners of my mouth couldn't help but twitch twice. I tried to calm myself down, and I opened my mouth to reveal a cute smile: "Uncle, it's your young master who is holding me. He seems to treat me as a teddy bear, haha, what a unique young master..." He has such a unique personality that I want to beat him up!
But no matter what, so many people will surely be able to pry open the hands of the guy who used me as a hugging bear. I looked forward to watching the old man holding his glasses and looking back and forth between me and his young master for a long time, and then I heard a sentence that made me very upset: "It's not easy, my young master will never let go of something when he falls asleep, unless he wakes up."
Will never let go? Unless he wakes up on his own? What a joke, this guy is sleeping like he's in a coma. I called him so loudly for a long time but he didn't wake up. If I wait for him to wake up on his own, won't I have to wait until dawn?
"Can't you think of a solution? Uncle, I still have takeout to deliver..." I complained with a bitter face. To prove that what I said was true, I patted the takeout box on the side and said, "Look, I didn't lie to you. The customers are still waiting for my takeout."
"Well, there is a solution..." The old man adjusted his glasses, folded the white handkerchief and put it back in his pocket, looked at my face mysteriously and said, "I'll have someone carry you and my young master to the car."
What does "load onto the vehicle" mean? Am I cargo?
I waved my hands vigorously with a bitter face: "No, no, there is no time. I need to hurry to Huacheng Street."
Why should I continue to be a hug bear to this weird guy unless he pays me?
"I can give you some appropriate compensation." The old man seemed to see through my thoughts and smiled at me as he spoke.
Compensation? These two words instantly made the old man's words sound sweet and melodious, just like a fairy's magic wand. My eyes lit up and I couldn't help but ask, "What compensation?"
Hey, money?
"Miss, please accompany my young master home. I will let you go when he wakes up. You can charge on time, and the price is negotiable." The old man nodded at me, "I will not treat you unfairly."
Playing the role of Hug Bear, and being charged on time? Although it sounds a bit weird, but charging on time, hey, what price should I ask? Thinking of this, my little abacus in my mind worked quickly, and my eyes unconsciously curved.
"Two hundred dollars an hour." I squinted my eyes and made an offer.
The old man pushed up his glasses and started bargaining with me: "Miss, yours is more expensive than a tutor. 150."
"No, I'll be late for the takeaway, and my mom will scold me when I get home, and the customers will complain about me, so I'll be at a disadvantage. 180, not a cent less."
"155."
"170."
"160."
"165."
…
After haggling for a long time, the deal was finally concluded at 163.56 yuan in one hour. The guy who treated me like a teddy bear and I were lifted up by four men, carried out of the alley like boxes, and then stuffed into a luxurious extended RV. During this outrageous process, the guy was still holding me tightly and sleeping soundly without moving at all.
I was put sideways in the back seat of the RV with that guy. I curled up and half leaned on the soft leather seat. The light in the car shone softly on the body and face of the guy who was hugging me. I could see his appearance clearly. He had a good figure and must be very tall. After a while of tossing, his black windbreaker had been opened, revealing the thin "V" neck sweater inside. There was a teardrop-shaped jade pendant hanging around his neck. The emerald green and transparent jade made his profile look as beautiful as the finest jade. His black hair was softly draped over his forehead, rubbing against my neck, which was a little itchy.
He is a really good-looking guy, but he is too weird. Would an ordinary person sleep like he is in a coma?
"Uncle, are you sure he's okay? Should we send him to the hospital first?" I looked at his profile and couldn't help but say something worried, and then I was shocked. You know, I, Ye Ye, am not a girl with overflowing sympathy. My favorite thing is money. How could I worry about a weirdo who has caused me so much trouble? Yes, it must be for the sake of money. That's right, I must want to delay time so that I can get more money.
"No need, this is an old problem, young master." The old man looked back at me, his eyes fell on the guy's face, revealing a loving expression.
"I have watched the young master grow up. When he was 10 years old, he suddenly developed this strange disease of intermittent sleepiness. I don't know how many doctors he has seen in the past few years, but no doctor can find the cause. So there is no need to go to the hospital anymore. Go home and let the young master have a good sleep. He will get better on his own."
Intermittent lethargy? How could a young master from a wealthy family get this disease? I looked at his handsome face and recalled the insecure expression he had in the alley just now, like a wounded little animal. I couldn't help but sigh in my heart. What a poor guy! He must have encountered something that he couldn't accept, and he subconsciously wanted to escape, that must be the case.
"Speaking of which, the young master is also very pitiful. Since the death of the master and the mistress, the burden of the entire Duanmu family and the entire AURORA Group has fallen on the shoulders of the young master alone..." The old man said with a sigh.
AURORA Group?
The old man's casual words were like a powerful bomb to my ears. I felt my head buzzing and countless little stars flew before my eyes.
AURORA Group... Duanmu Family... Oh my god, is the AURORA Group that the old man was talking about the AURORA Group located in the tallest skyscraper in Yuhua City? Is it the international clothing chain group that has expanded its market to more than a dozen countries overseas and has a pivotal position in the world? And the weird guy lying next to me who hugged me like a teddy bear is the eldest son of the AURORA Group - Duanmu Jichu?
God, please send an angel down to tell me if all this is true!
Not to mention the unshakable status of the AURORA Group and the Duanmu family in Yuhua City, not to mention that the Aurora College where I just studied for two days was funded and built by the Duanmu family, not to mention how many high-end clothing malls in Yuhua City are owned by the Duanmu family, the most important thing is that Duanmu Jichu is my idol!
When I first arrived at Yuhua City, I happened to read in the newspaper that President Duanmu died of a heart attack, and then Mrs. Duanmu committed suicide for love, and the AURORA Group was inherited by Duanmu Jichu, who was only 15 years old. At that time, I was very disdainful of this matter. Just imagine, how could a teenager of the same age as me manage such a large group?
But two years later, AURORA Group not only showed no signs of decline, but became even stronger. So my previous disdain turned into admiration, and later my speech became a pattern:
"Dou Ding, did you see that? I got admitted to Aurora College! Ahaha, maybe I can even meet Master Duanmu!"
“Haha, I heard that Master Duanmu once came to this mall for an inspection. Sure enough, even the air is different.”
"Hey, why is there no report about Master Duanmu in the newspaper?"
"Haha, anything produced by AURORA must be a top quality product!"
…
Unfortunately, Duanmu Jichu never showed up in the media, and all the reports were just dry text. Later, meeting Duanmu Jichu became my only motivation to enter Aurora College.
And now...
The Master Duanmu whom I dreamed of seeing was right beside me, and he even held me in his arms while I slept! I was so happy, God really favored me...
