Chapter 161: The Hazy Vibe Is Even More Addictive
“What, do you know me?” Cao Weida’s reaction made Liu Rusi a bit puzzled.
“No, I just think this name sounds nice. Liu Rusi in the Han palace, peach blossoms in the upper garden connect to the green pool. The name is beautiful, and the artistic conception is even more beautiful.”
Liu Rusi’s beautiful eyes lit up instantly. “You actually know the origin of my name? If my name wasn’t taken from here, I wouldn’t even know this Tang poem. You’re too knowledgeable!”
“Hey, I just happened to see it when I was bored.” Cao Weida smiled humbly, raising his eyebrows as he looked at her. “You should be a special agent of the Military Statistics Bureau, right? You’re just openly telling me your name like this. Aren’t you afraid of exposing yourself?”
Liu Rusi gave him a flirtatious glance, brushing the sweat-dampened hair from her forehead behind her ear, and said indifferently:
“You saved my life. Even if I’m exposed, what does it matter? Could it be worse than being captured alive by the little devils?”
“.That’s true.” Cao Weida chuckled helplessly.
Liu Rusi looked at his face veil, her eyes flashing with curiosity. “You haven’t told me your name yet. Also, can I see your face?”
If he didn’t know the other party was Liu Rusi, Cao Weida really wouldn’t want to expose himself.
But since the other party was Liu Rusi, it was worth considering.
After hesitating for a moment, he lowered his own face veil.
Before he could even open his mouth to say his name, Liu Rusi spoke first: “You’re… Cao Weida?!”
Liu Rusi looked at him in complete disbelief, as if this result shocked her greatly.
Cao Weida pretended to be displeased. “What, does it surprise you that much?”
Cao Weida wasn’t surprised that Liu Rusi had called out his name right away. After all, she was a special agent, and in Beiping, she needed to be familiar with the faces of prominent figures, if not personally know them.
And nowadays in Beiping, among the Chinese people, who was more in the spotlight than him?
“It really is quite surprising,” Liu Rusi restrained her shocked expression, her eyes sparkling. “Who would have thought that Beiping’s biggest celebrity, who has close ties with countless little devil high-level officials, would actually be the mysterious man who gunned down over a dozen little devils! You hide it so deeply!”
“That’s not right.” Cao Weida refuted:
“My good relationship with the little devils is just a disguise.”
“These little devils are utterly heartless and commit all kinds of evil. How many ordinary people in China have died miserably at their hands?”
“I’m a man of conscience. Isn’t it only right to kill some of them?”
Liu Rusi’s eyes darted around. “It is right, very right indeed.”
“However, personal bravery isn’t a long-term solution. Have you ever thought about serving the party and the nation?”
She didn’t think of him as being from the Communist Party. After all, she knew their usual style well, and Cao Weida’s lifestyle and principles didn’t match up with the Communist Party at all.
Cao Weida shook his head. “No need for that. I’m used to acting alone.”
He didn’t plan to reveal that he had already joined the Military Statistics Bureau. After tying the gauze with a bow, he stood up and said: “Alright, it’s wrapped now. By the way, when will the person coming to pick you up arrive?”
“.There are no pick-up people anymore.” Liu Rusi smiled bitterly and shook her head. “All my group members have already sacrificed, and for safety, I didn’t let anyone else know about this safe house.”
Cao Weida frowned. “No one to pick you up? Then what are you going to do?”
The scene fell quiet for a while. Seeing no response from her, Cao Weida couldn’t help but sigh. “You’re not planning to latch onto me, are you?”
Liu Rusi smiled sweetly. “You’re a good person.”
“.”
Cao Weida was truly speechless and said irritably: “I risked my life to save you, and now you’re repaying kindness with enmity?”
Liu Rusi pouted, gently grabbing one of his fingers, looking at him pitifully.
“Then will you abandon a wounded weak woman like me here to fend for herself?”
“.What a vixen.”
Looking at Liu Rusi’s pitiful appearance, Cao Weida felt his heart stir uncontrollably.
Damn, being so beautiful is truly a crime, like a sharp sword piercing straight through the solid walls of a man’s heart like tofu.
“Fine, fine, I must have owed you in my previous life.”
Hearing that Cao Weida was willing to take care of her, Liu Rusi immediately bloomed into a flower-like smile. “I knew you couldn’t bear to leave me behind. Don’t worry, once my wound heals, I’ll definitely repay you.”
So, you’re planning to offer yourself?
Why does it feel like she’s a bit attached to me?
An illusion?
Cao Weida muttered inwardly, pretending to look helpless on the surface. “We’ll talk about it later. Where are the change of clothes? I’ll get them for you.”
“In the wardrobe.”
Cao Weida took a set of clothes from the wardrobe and gave them to her. “I’ll go out first. Hurry and change, then we’ll leave.”
“Ah? Why do we have to leave?”
“Of course to prevent being tracked here.” Cao Weida rolled his eyes. “Your leg is injured and has been bleeding all the way. It was fine at night, but once dawn breaks, won’t the little devils follow the bloodstains you left?”
“Once the little devils track the bloodstains here, they’ll definitely conduct a massive search of the surroundings. Do you think the so-called ‘darkness under the lamp’ will still work?”
“.Alright.” Liu Rusi was convinced. She had been so focused on getting to the safe house that she completely overlooked this small detail.
Good thing Cao Weida reminded her, or she might not have known how she was exposed even after being caught.
After Cao Weida went out, rustling sounds came from the room.
After a long while, the sounds inside stopped.
Afraid of being heard by people nearby, she couldn’t make too much noise, so she didn’t call out. Thinking she had changed, Cao Weida pushed the door open and walked in directly.
Then their eyes met, and the scene froze awkwardly.
Two seconds later, Cao Weida’s breathing quickened. He gave an embarrassed smile, slammed the door shut, but the image still lingered in his mind.
A crabapple-red bellyband clung to her curvaceous figure, the gold-embroidered vines stretched taut, rising and falling with her breathing.
At the ends of her lotus-like arms, slender jade hands were holding a pair of underpants.
Her snow-white long legs were absolute bliss for leg lovers.
The only pity was that the light at night was too dim, so the view wasn’t clear.
However, this hazy feeling made it even more intoxicating.
It was quiet inside for nearly a minute before there was movement again. Cao Weida rubbed his nose, squatting by the door, grinning silently.
This was a huge profit.
After another long while, the sounds inside stopped again. Cao Weida cautiously pushed the door open and peeked in, seeing Liu Rusi, her face flushed as if about to drip blood but still pretending to be calm, dressed neatly and leaning on the bed.
He walked in calmly. “All done?”
Liu Rusi nodded while suppressing her shyness. Cao Weida went forward and picked her up.
The moment he touched her, he clearly felt her body tremble, her muscles tensing up tightly.
Cao Weida chuckled inwardly. She might look full of charm, but with her eyebrows fine and drawn together at the ends, smooth but not raised, she was clearly still a green girl.
He carried her to the chair and set her down. “Who cleaned the house for you before?”
“It was me. I cleaned it myself, but I disguised it every time I came.”
“That’s good.” Cao Weida immediately got to work, restoring the bed sheet and such to their original state, then gathering all the bloodstained gauze, trousers, and the like into a bag.
“I’ll go deal with these things first. Wait for me a bit.”
Watching everything Cao Weida did, a full sense of security filled Liu Rusi’s heart. She gazed at his departing back with sparkling eyes, the flutter in her heart deepening.
“I heard he doesn’t have a principal wife yet.”
Liu Rusi lightly bit her lip with her shell teeth, revealing a smile she couldn’t quite explain herself.
Not long after, Cao Weida returned. “Come on, we’re leaving now.”
“Mm.” Liu Rusi climbed onto his sturdy back, her eyes swirling as she suddenly whispered in his ear: “What did you see just now?”
The warm breath at his ear made Cao Weida stiffen for a moment, then he immediately played dumb. “See what? I didn’t see anything.”
“Was it white?”
“White what? I told you I didn’t see anything.”
Seeing his stubborn denial, Liu Rusi huffed lightly, wrapped her arms around his neck, and pressed her body tightly against his back.
Gently inhaling the manly scent on him, she surprisingly found it quite pleasant. A strong sense of security washed over her from the tip of her nose to her heart, relaxing her completely.
Cao Weida carried her out of the courtyard, restoring the door and such to their previous state. “Besides me, who else knows your name?”
“No one.” Liu Rusi’s expression darkened. Tonight, all members of Group One had sacrificed, with only two escaping—unknown if dead or alive—which made her heart ache.
Cao Weida was silent for a moment, then said: “That’s good. The day after tomorrow and the day after that, I’ll marry two concubines. To cover your identity, you’ll have to temporarily be my fifth concubine.”
“What, you want to take me into your house?” Liu Rusi breathed into his ear, making it itch. He irritably patted her thigh lightly.
“Don’t mess around. I’m protecting you!”
“You know my status. Many people are watching. Without a legitimate reason, I can’t take care of you.”
Liu Rusi let out a light hum from her nose, her charming voice chuckling softly: “I fully approve of this reason. But couldn’t I be your principal wife?”
“I’m so beautiful. Being your principal wife shouldn’t make you lose face, right?”
Cao Weida drew in a sharp breath. This vixen was too seductive!
This was Master Liu before she became famous. What would Liu Rusi be like in a few years?
Suppressing the urge to get hard, he tilted his ear forward slightly and said irritably: “If I marry a principal wife, it would be a grand affair. Do you really want that much attention?”
“Also, if others ask, you know what to say, right?”
