70. Blackie Arrives

QiYao stared down at his phone in confusion. No one was answering XiaoYu's phone. Did he remember the wrong number?

His flashy blue sports car was stopped before he could even enter the residential area. The security guards told him to park at the automated underground carpark on the other side of the road. No outside cars were allowed within the area unless they'd been given special permission.

While he thought that rule was rather nonsensical, QiYao was too lazy to argue with them. He turned his car around and parked at the building he'd been pointed to.

When the security guards saw QiYao driving his flashy car away, they all let out a huge sigh of relief. It was their freaking first time seeing such a high-class car. If anything happened to it within the area, a tiny scratch or whatever, not even all of their salaries combined would be enough to pay for the damage! It was safer to shoo the car away.

With the small cake in hand, QiYao walked back over and into the area XiaoYu lived in. He dug his phone out from his pockets. He was going to call the other and inform XiaoYu he had arrived, but he never thought the phone would be left ringing non-stop. QiYao was very confident in his memory, so he merely thought XiaoYu was too busy to answer at the moment.

QiYao slipped his phone back into his pocket and followed the road signs to the apartment block XiaoYu lived in. Along the way, he observed the residential area and its conditions - slightly old-schooled but very clean and quiet. After this turn, he should arrive at XiaoYu's place.

Far off in the distance, QiYao could see someone crouched down before the apartment block's metal gate. He couldn't tell what they looked like as their head hung low. As he walked closer and closer, something about that figure felt familiar.

Then, he realised the person wasn't squatting like he thought, they were kneeling on the ground with their hands flat against the pavement. It was as if they wanted to stand up but couldn't.

"Xiao...Yu?" QiYao tentatively called out as he came to a stop before the figure. The tiny bit of the other's face that QiYao could see looked very much like XiaoYu.

The person's head jolted up to look at QiYao. It really was XiaoYu. That cat-like face looked exactly like his avatar in-game.

XiaoYu could instantly tell this tall stranger was QiYao. While the other's face was slightly different from his avatar's, it was clear QiYao had just adjusted his facial stats until he looked a bit more average. In real life, QiYao's features were much more distinct. He looked so much more handsome and perfect. Not only would women swoon at the sight of that face, but even men would be attracted to it.

QiYao was already here. The other had just witnessed XiaoYu at one of his lowest moments. XiaoYu panicked even harder. He tried standing up once more, but his useless legs had yet to regain their strength. A slight shift to the side and XiaoYu was slipping down with gravity once more.

Fortunately, QiYao reacted in time. The other stretched out an arm to catch the falling XiaoYu, preventing him from kissing the floor again.

"I'm sorry. I can't stand right now." XiaoYu gave up. The other man had seen everything.

"It's fine. Hold this." QiYao handed the bag he was holding to XiaoYu.
