NOVEL ONLINE FREE 12: Waiting for the Rabbit
Yuan Xiaoning blinked in confusion.
Bai Ling’s aura had been so frightening just now, making her think she was about to be violated again, but in an instant, she became so gentle, as if everything was open to discussion.
“Can I say no?” the blonde girl asked tentatively.
Bai Ling smiled faintly: “Since you don’t like going out to play, you must really enjoy happiness in bed. I’ll carry you back to the room right now.”
“No, no, no, I’ll go, I’ll go!”
As expected, it was only “seemed like,” not real.
Bai Ling patted her little head with satisfaction: “We should go downstairs now, to share this good news with our kind and loving family.”
The family that wished she would just die.
It was just time for lunch. They arrived in the living room where everyone else was already seated.
“Uncle Zhang, Aunt Huang,” Bai Ling said as soon as she sat down, “This afternoon, Xiao Ning and I are going out, and we won’t be back tonight.”
Zhang Shengkang was startled: “Going out so soon?”
He quickly caught himself and added: “I mean, you’ve only been back for a couple of days. Wouldn’t it be better to stay at home a bit longer?”
“That’s right, Xiao Ling. Your uncle has just come back too. You’re all either working or studying usually. It’s rare for the whole family to be together,” Huang Ling chimed in.
She didn’t know Zhang Shengkang’s specific plans, just helping to persuade.
“But we’re going back to school in a couple of days. If we don’t go today, we won’t have another chance,” Bai Ling said. “After that, we need to prepare for final exams, and we won’t leave campus again before summer vacation.”
“Oh, is that so.”
Zhang Shengkang wiped non-existent cold sweat and didn’t say anything more.
After the meal, he went to the yard with a heavy heart, presumably to find a corner to make a phone call.
Yuan Xiaoning sat with Bai Ling on the sofa, discussing where to go on their date in the afternoon.
“Where do you want to go?” Bai Ling peeled an apple, speared an apple slice with the fruit knife, and held it to the blonde girl’s mouth.
“Emmmm, I want to go to the seaside,” Yuan Xiaoning answered, then took a big bite of the apple slice with an “Aum.”
Her body had been exploited too severely these past few days; she needed to replenish some vitamins by eating fruit.
“The seaside is too far. It would take several hours round trip, and we can’t stay overnight. We only have one afternoon,” Bai Ling said.
Yuan Xiaoning blinked: “Then… water park?”
Bai Ling put down the apple and turned to look at her expressionlessly.
A look that said, “You really think we’re going to play?”
“The water park isn’t far, but…” she said calmly, “If you want to cosplay characters from a mobile game, that’s not impossible.”
Yuan Xiaoning didn’t understand: “What do you mean?”
“Fighting in bikinis.”
“Uh… let’s forget about that then.” The blonde girl sat back dejectedly.
That would indeed be too embarrassing.
Bai Ling finished cutting the remaining apple slices. When she turned her head, she saw the white rabbits sulking on the sofa.
“Do you really want to go?”
“Yeah, I do,” Yuan Xiaoning said casually, “I’ve never been before.”
In her past life, she lived in an inland city, and her family’s financial situation was average. She never had the chance to go to the seaside, always longing for it.
Bai Ling was silent for a moment, then said: “I’ll take you when we have time during the holidays.”
Yuan Xiaoning’s eyes lit up: “Really?”
Bai Ling didn’t answer, instead taking an apple slice and stuffing it into her small mouth.
Still asking if it’s real, as if this was something worth lying about. So stupid.
At this moment, Zhang Shengkang also returned, wearing an unnatural smile: “Where are you two going to play this afternoon?”
“We’ve decided,” Bai Ling lowered her head and started peeling a second apple. “We’re going to Tianhai Plaza.”
She didn’t slice it, just bit into it after peeling off the skin.
Crunch, crunch.
For some reason, Zhang Shengkang felt that the sound of eating was a bit creepy.
“The commercial street, ah. You girls indeed like shopping. Is your pocket money enough? Let me give you some.”
Perhaps in his eyes, today was his little niece’s last meal, so he was unusually generous this once.
After finishing the apple and taking the money, Bai Ling left with Yuan Xiaoning.
Zhang Shanshan wanted to follow, but Zhang Shengkang held her back.
“Dad, don’t stop me. I want to expose this pair of dog girls, let all the classmates at school know.”
“You’re not allowed to go out. Go back to your room,” Zhang Shengkang gave Huang Ling a meaningful look. “You’re not allowed to go anywhere today!”
From his unusual behavior, Huang Ling seemed to understand something and hurriedly came over to pull her daughter.
“Quick, go back.”

Yuan Xiaoning felt that they might really be here for shopping.
This wasn’t her problem, mainly it was Bai Ling, who was really strolling leisurely on the pedestrian street, her gaze filled with reminiscence.
There was no clear purpose, just walking around casually, looking at everything.
Yuan Xiaoning was a bit curious but didn’t dare to ask, after all, there were quite a few love hotels on this street. They could strategically advance at any time.
However, after turning a corner, Bai Ling voluntarily said: “Do you know, in a few years, the prosperity here will no longer exist.”
Yuan Xiaoning blinked: “Then, where will people go shopping at that time?”
“Of course, another street, a place closer to the sea,” Bai Ling smiled. “That place will belong to only one person, and even the people who go shopping there will be divided into different classes.”
“…That doesn’t sound very good.”
“Hehe.”
Bai Ling stopped in front of a café: “We’re here.”
“Are you thirsty?”
“No, but the camera at this corner is broken,” she said.
Yuan Xiaoning looked up and indeed, the surveillance camera above was sparking.
It had obviously been damaged by someone, and quite recently. It was clear that time had been very urgent.
Bai Ling pushed the door open first. The café wasn’t very crowded in the afternoon, with some customers scattered around.
“Bai Ling,” Yuan Xiaoning called softly, “Are we really going to… here?”
Bai Ling looked at her in confusion, then after a while seemed to understand something: “You can choose a less crowded spot.”
“Then let’s go to that corner, there’s no one there.”
Yuan Xiaoning ordered a cappuccino. After sitting down, she found Bai Ling looking at her meaningfully.
“What, what is it?”
“Nothing, just looking,” Bai Ling answered perfunctorily.
Always talking about small fry, thinking you really don’t see people as people, but in the end, it’s just tough talk?
Of course, Yuan Xiaoning had also guessed Bai Ling’s plan. Although she didn’t know the specific details, she knew it was probably something like luring the snake out of its hole, fishing law enforcement, deliberately drawing out the assassins, subduing them to interrogate about the mastermind behind the scenes, and so on.
Now should be the stage of waiting for the rabbit… hmm…
“We won’t be in danger, will we?” Yuan Xiaoning asked quietly.
“At least I won’t be,” Bai Ling said. “As for you, who knows.”
Hearing this, Yuan Xiaoning felt indignant: “Then I definitely won’t be either.”
She was a Level 3 Water Dragon King after all.
