Bai Qianqian helplessly let Lu Fei lean on her shoulder as they walked. Although Lu Fei wasn't heavy, it was still a strain for a girl to support him, especially since all his strength was pressing down on her due to his drunkenness.
Finally arriving at the bedside, Bai Qianqian gave a strong push and threw Lu Fei onto the bed.
However, Lu Fei's arm was still around her shoulder, and without being careful, Bai Qianqian also fell onto the bed with Lu Fei, with Lu Fei below and Bai Qianqian on top.
Their noses were inches apart.
They could almost hear each other's breaths.
Bai Qianqian froze. In her seventeen years, she had never had such physical contact with someone of the opposite sex.
Yet, this inch-close distance allowed Bai Qianqian to see the young man before her up close for the first time.
When she first met this young man, he seemed to be in distress. At that time, his strength was weak and insignificant, almost impossible for them, the heavenly daughters and sons, to take seriously.
But in just over a year, the young man before her.
More precisely, the young man beneath her had grown to such an extent. Even though his apparent strength was not as good as hers, Bai Qianqian was very clear about it.
This young man's actual skill far surpassed her own.
After a moment of daze, Bai Qianqian quickly stood up.
Unbeknownst to her, her entire face had turned red.
Just as Bai Qianqian was about to leave Lu Fei's room, Lu Fei opened his eyes by chance.
The drunk and unconscious Lu Fei opened his hazy eyes.
He slurred, "Qianqian Senior Sister, you're drunk too. Why is your face so red?"
Bai Qianqian let out a long sigh.
She escaped Lu Fei's room.
A night passed, and Lu Fei slept very comfortably.
Upon waking, Lu Fei stretched.
He glanced at the bed behind him.
"It's good to be rich, this bed is really comfortable to sleep on."
"I'll get one like this when I buy a house."
At this moment, there was a knocking sound from outside the door.
Lu Fei put on a coat and went out.
Outside stood a middle-aged man in a suit.
"Mr. Lu Fei, my surname is Han, the butler of the Bai family. Did you sleep well last night?"
Lu Fei smiled and said truthfully, "This bed was really comfortable. I'd like to ask, where did you buy it?"
Secretary Han smiled, "If you like it, give me an address, and I'll arrange for one to be delivered to you."
Lu Fei smiled.
Secretary Han immediately said,
"Mr. Lu Fei, Chairman Bai invites you to join him for breakfast."
Lu Fei grunted.
"Alright, I'll go after I wash up."
After washing up, led by Secretary Han,
Lu Fei arrived at the dining room where Bai Yushu usually ate.
As he entered the room,
He saw several people sitting inside.
Bai Yushu, Bai Yuheng, Bai Xingyu, and the old servant Butler Han.
Today, Bai Yushu was not sitting in the main seat. Bai Yuheng had returned, and this seat naturally belonged to him. This was how a younger brother should be sensible, considering the bond between the Bai brothers.
He didn't care about these matters.
Seeing Lu Fei enter, Bai Yuheng, who was sitting in the main seat, actually stood up and greeted him with a smile.
"Little Brother Lu is here. Please forgive us if the hospitality was not up to par."
Lu Fei smiled and said, "How could that be? I ate and slept so well, I almost wish I could stay here forever."
"If you like it, Brother Lu, you can treat this place as your own home."
Bai Yushu's words showed his hospitality.
After a few pleasantries, Lu Fei sat down at the seat to Bai Yuheng's right.
The breakfast table only had tea and milk, no alcohol.
Bai Yuheng raised his tea cup in lieu of wine and said, "Regarding what happened in Fenghe Town, I thank you again, Little Brother Lu. Otherwise, I wouldn't have recovered my memory so quickly."
Lu Fei smiled and said, "Senior Bai is joking. I should be thanking you for saving us in the Tower of the Undead."
Speaking of which, elders usually shouldn't be interrupted when speaking, but Bai Xingyu couldn't help but say, "Speaking of that, I'm still very curious about what happened after you were taken away by that terrifying contracted beast. Why did the Tower of the Undead collapse later?"
Bai Yuheng also seemed interested in this topic.
He added, "I'm also very curious about Xingyu's question."
Lu Fei frowned and sighed.
He knew they would ask this, but how should he answer?
Should he tell them his secret?
But those two [Eternal Nightmares] died inexplicably, and he didn't know what happened either.
Should he tell them that the [Eternal Nightmares] inexplicably blew themselves up?
He wouldn't believe it himself, let alone others.
Lu Fei lowered his head, hesitating to answer them.
Bai Yuheng could tell that Lu Fei was in a difficult position, and he chuckled, "It seems Little Brother Lu has his own unspeakable difficulties?"
"It's not that, it's just that the process was too bizarre. You might not believe it if I told you."
"Oh?"
Bai Yuheng changed the subject.
He suddenly said, "Does Little Brother Lu have any family members at home? Your demeanor suggests you are extraordinary..."
As he asked this question, Bai Yuheng's gaze lingered on Lu Fei's finger.
Lu Fei replied naturally, "I am an orphan."
Bai Yuheng was slightly stunned.
He clearly didn't believe this statement, but what was there to hide about one's background? With the power of his Bai family, it would be known with a single inquiry.
Bai Yuheng didn't beat around the bush anymore and said directly, "Actually, the ring on your finger looks familiar. I wasn't sure at first, but now it seems that one of my friends also has one."
Hearing this, Lu Fei was stunned.
This ring was given to him by Chu Huainan. It had been recognized by Huangfu Chenyi before, and it was called the Qingming Ring, representing the status of the Chu family.
But Bai Yuheng also recognized it?
Lu Fei's mind raced. That's right, he was also one of the Ten Elders before. Since they were both Ten Elders, it wasn't surprising that they knew each other!
After a moment of internal struggle, Lu Fei decided to be open.
He said, "What a coincidence, Senior Bai, you also recognize this ring. It was given to me by a friend."
"Friend?" Bai Yuheng's eyes narrowed slightly.
