Chapter 168 -168 Bandits
“My lady, why are you staring at me? Let’s watch the performance, it has already begun.”
As Xuexue was full of confusion, Big Bull had already turned his head toward her, reverting back to his silly demeanor, and smiled as he spoke to her.
“Big Bull, do you know how to read?”
In rural families, it’s not easy to raise a scholar. Even the slightly wealthier households have to tighten their belts and save on food and clothing to afford it. For the children of poor families, attending a Private School is even more of a luxury. Therefore, Xuexue concluded that since Big Bull could read, he must not come from a poor family.
“Yes, I do.”
“Have you attended a Private School?”
Big Bull turned his head and thought hard for a moment, then shook his head with a hint of distress, “I don’t know, I can’t remember.”
Seeing him struggle so hard, it didn’t seem like he was faking, Xuexue could only let it go. At the same time, she comforted herself, surely she had been seeing things earlier. Even if Big Bull wasn’t foolish and was indeed the son of a wealthy family, it was unlikely he would exude a murderous aura. Looking at the occasional noble temperament he exhibited, he couldn’t possibly be a bandit, could he?
Suddenly, Xuexue remembered that night when Auntie Sun had trapped her with an Aphrodisiac. In the hollow of the hills, she was overwhelmed by a man whose demeanor had seemed all too similar to Big Bull’s, but the temperament was quite different. Could it be because he was wounded that even his personality had changed?
All these doubts twined around in Xuexue’s heart.
“Impossible,” she shook her head unconsciously, murmuring to herself, “How could such coincidences happen in the world?”
“My lady, are you cold?”
As the cold wind howled on the rooftop, amidst Xuexue’s inner turmoil, Big Bull’s considerate words came through.
“I’m fine.”
“How about I give you a coat to block the wind? The performance has just started, and the wind is quite strong up here.” As he was speaking, Big Bull took off his coat and draped it over Xuexue, then carefully wrapped and fastened it around her.
After giving his coat to Xuexue, Big Bull was left wearing only a thin undershirt.
“What a fool you are. You’re only wearing a thin shirt, aren’t you cold?” Xuexue felt touched by Big Bull’s genuine kindness.
Although Big Bull was foolish, his sincerity was pure and untainted, a kind of affection that was the most innocent and worthy of cherishing.
“I’m not cold, I am a man,” Big Bull declared, but just as he spoke, a gust of cold wind blew over him, making him shiver and sneeze uncontrollably, “Achoo, achoo.”
“What a fool. And you say you’re not cold?” Seeing Big Bull sneezing forcefully, obviously cold with a runny nose and still stubbornly persisting, she felt both moved and amused. She quickly took off his coat from herself and put it back on him, “Don’t catch a cold. The wind is too strong on the rooftop. Let’s go back.”
“But my lady, don’t you enjoy watching the opera?”
“I don’t feel like watching it now.” Xuexue didn’t want to explain, lest the simple-minded Big Bull do something astonishing again.
“All right.” Big Bull tried to stand up, but when he applied force with his foot, he accidentally kicked a protruding roof tile and sent it flying…
“Ah!”
Xuexue couldn’t help but let out an exclamation! With so many people below, the tile falling from high above could cause unimaginable consequences if it hit someone. Her heart leaped to her throat, and she was extremely anxious.
Onstage, the performance had reached its climax…
Inside and outside the estate, the crowd was vast. Hundreds of eyes were intently fixed on the stage when suddenly, a roof tile descended out of nowhere…
“Clatter.”
It landed in the middle of the stage and shattered on impact.
Immediately, the performers were thrown into chaos, scattering across the stage with their hands over their heads.
