How come I was the one being targeted?

However, this method was too crude in Bai Jun's eyes.

The result was that a bat-like figure appeared hanging upside down in the sky above the swimming pool that night.

Chapter 80: Meeting, yet always parting (4k8)

Pushing aside the somewhat cold morning mist, Bai Jun walked to the courtyard of the villa and stretched his body as usual.

"It's so quiet in Changle at four in the morning..."

In just a few days, he has developed the habit of getting up at four in the morning. At this time in the past, he would still be lying in bed and sleeping soundly.

Looking back, Zhu Ming was probably only so diligent when he was studying with Grandpa Huai Yan and Yan Tingjun. But to be honest, he really preferred to lie in bed and sleep.

The next task is also very simple. Exercise, check the safety around the villa, and then wait quietly for the robin to wake up.

Moreover, today is the last day of the world tour. Robin no longer needs to sing on stage and only needs to wait for an appearance at the closing ceremony, so today's workload should be much easier.

"Brother, you seem to be in a good mood, so can you put me down?"

At this time, bursts of weak complaints came from above the swimming pool in the villa courtyard.

Potio, who was tied up tightly like a dumpling, had been keeping his feet up and his head down for about half a night. Although the body transformation did not make him feel uncomfortable, he still felt dizzy after a long time. And the most important thing was that he drank some wine last night and now his stomach was a little churning.

Seeing that Bai Jun finally came over, he squeezed out all the strength in his body and twisted wildly in the air above the swimming pool like a large caterpillar.

"Brother, brother, please let me go."

"You look pretty good, don't you?"

Bai Jun leaned against the diving board of the swimming pool and smiled slightly. He chatted with Potio who was hanging upside down above his head and grinning foolishly without even raising his head. He casually pulled the stuck pulley on the side.

As soon as the stuck switch loosened, Poteo, who was hanging upside down above the swimming pool, fell headfirst. The cowboy, who had just been squinting his eyes and grinning foolishly, was instantly frightened and his face turned pale - although his face was quite pale to begin with.

"Woooa ...

"Don't worry, you won't fall."

The long silver-gray hair passed over the swimming pool. Bai Jun immediately pressed the pulley, and Portio's body stopped in the air just before it came into contact with the cold pool water in the early morning.

"Brother, please don't. Jumping into a cold pool so early in the morning will definitely kill you! Even though I've undergone body modification, it would still be very troublesome if it gets wet!"

"Stop yelling! You idiot—!"

Poteo, who was struggling in the air, let out a sharp and distorted roar. In order to stop his disturbing behavior, Bai Jun kicked the diving board of the swimming pool. The horrible vibration from the rope made Poteo shut his mouth immediately.

He knew that if he didn't shut up, he might be kicked next time.

.........

After some nonsense, Potio was finally let down from the rope as he wished.

While he was moving his body which had become stiff from standing in the same position for so long, he was complaining that Bai Jun was using too much force when tying the rope.

But Bai Jun didn't bother to pay attention to him and just continued with the warm-up exercises as usual.

Before I knew it, a faint light had appeared on the eastern horizon.

As if taking this as a signal, Bai Jun ended his warm-up exercises, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and slowly exhaled a breath of hot air in the cold air.

"Brother, where are you going?" Potio asked curiously when he saw Bai Jun walking towards the villa.

"It's time to go eat. Are you stupid from hanging in the air?"

Bai Jun gave him a speechless look, then turned and walked towards the first-floor hall of the villa. Potio glanced at the sunlight that was about to rise above the horizon, and followed him belatedly.

It was quiet outside in the early morning, but the villa was brightly lit and bustling with activity. In front of the long dining table in the hall, chefs in white uniforms and security guards in black formal attire were busy in the kitchen. Various nutritionally balanced, delicious and tasty meals were placed on the table in an orderly manner.

The two of them found a place to sit down and picked some of their favorite food from the table.

"Good morning, why are you yawning again? Didn't you get enough rest last night?"

Robin quietly appeared behind Bai Jun and patted his shoulder mischievously. Judging from the gentle and bright smile on her face, she was in a good mood today.

She is still wearing the same dress she wore yesterday.

The only difference is that she has a crescent-shaped gray hair ornament pinned on her long blue hair, which is also a pair of ornaments with the pendant in Bai Jun's pocket.

"Don't always appear quietly behind others..."

The approach of a robin, which neither emits any scent nor carries any malicious intent, is the most difficult to predict, not to mention that Bai Jun had no intention of guarding against robins at all, so as expected, he was frightened by her again, and even the ahoge on his head stood up.

Those beautiful green eyes contained a hint of cunning, as if they were acting coquettishly, and only reflected the figure of Bai Jun.

"It's your fault for always looking so lazy... Ah, good morning, Mr. Portio too!"

The robin suddenly noticed Poteo's shocked look, so after greeting him briefly, he hurriedly sat down in the seat next to Bai Jun, covering his slightly red cheeks with his ear feathers.

Potio rubbed his eyes vigorously. Even though he had some understanding of Bai Jun's friendliness, he did not expect that the relationship between the two would heat up so quickly. Should I say it, their behavior just now was simply like... a couple in love?

This might just be Potio's wishful thinking, because Bai Jun next to him seemed to be able to read his mind and gave him a look of disgust, as if saying that he was a piece of trash with a head full of yellow waste.

In fact, Portio's guess was correct. The unintentional activation of "Good Will Hunting" just now allowed Bai Jun to capture Portio's thoughts, but Bai Jun did not pay too much attention to it. Instead, he poured two cups of special drinks from the milk jug on the table and gave them to Portio beside him.

In order to better preserve the robin's singing voice, the kitchen team specially prepared a drink made of milk, tea and honey in the morning. Portio likes to drink this drink very much, mainly because in addition to maintaining the throat, it also has a good effect of sobering up.

Portio took the milk and honey tea and ate it with the sausages and bread on the plate.

The other special drink was passed to Robin. Bai Jun ate the bread on the plate and asked casually, "What's your schedule today?"

"The last day is the most relaxing. No performances, no press conferences, and no brand events. I just have to quietly wait for the closing ceremony of the concert. But I think the Pinocchio delegation will come to look for me. After all, I violated the regulations and left the designated area without permission."

Robin took a sip of the hot special drink, with a hint of helplessness in his tone.

The delegation represents the wishes of Pinoconni, the organizer of the world tour concert. She has violated the regulations on this trip without authorization. I am afraid that the delegation will report the matter to the family, and the responsibility of bearing the pressure will eventually fall on her brother Sunday.

Besides, the Shen Ce Mansion might also express condemnation. After all, their behavior has caused a huge impact on the citizen community, and they might even use this incident to put pressure on the delegation.

Last night, I was so excited and filled with guilt that I realized I was too impulsive after I calmed down.

Portio was chewing the food in his mouth with big mouthfuls. After hearing the robin's worry, he shrugged nonchalantly. It was obvious that this was a typical good girl's thinking. In his eyes, such a small matter was even more insignificant than what to eat for lunch today.

The reason is very simple. If the above words were really so effective, the company's most wanted criminal would have been arrested long ago. It seems that the so-called wanted order is just a bullshit tactic to scare people.

So, Potio gulped down a few mouthfuls of his special drink and said vaguely, "Okay, big star, we don't live just for work. We should live for ourselves once in a while. The people above can say whatever they want. As long as you don't rush them, just let them get angry."

"It's a bit of a blunt statement, but the truth is, since it's already happened, there's no need to dwell on it. Besides, your personal reasons haven't affected the concert schedule, so just enjoy your meal and don't worry about anything else."

It was rare for Bai Jun to not complain about what Potio said, but to nod in agreement.

"I see."

The robin raised his lips, gave Bai Jun a gentle smile, then lowered his head to eat the nutritious meal on the plate.

Breakfast didn't take much time. As mentioned before, there were no other arrangements for today, so after breakfast, the three of them, who had a rare moment of free time, chatted in the villa, sharing their experiences and interesting stories, and even had time to play some small games.

"Guess whose hand the coin is in now?"

The robin smiled and stretched out his white little hand which was clenched into a fist, and confidently gestured to Bai Jun to make a random guess, as if he was sure that Bai Jun would definitely not guess correctly.

"over there."

Bai Jun took off the cloth covering his eyes, looked at the robin with a silly smile, and silently pointed his thumb at Potio who was sitting on the sofa reading a newspaper not far away.

"Wrong guess... Eh! W-why!?"

"When you tossed the coin to Poteo just now, I heard the sound of it spinning in the air. I also heard which hand Poteo caught it with—left hand, right?"

"Absolutely his darling's right."

Potio curled his lips, threw down the newspaper, and a coin slowly emerged from the sleeve of his left hand and bounced accurately towards Bai Jun.

Bai Jun took the coin. This was the fifth game he had won...By the way, he and the robin only played five games in total.

"Ugh, no, no, you're cheating! Next time, plug your ears too!"

"Miss, covering your ears again is a bit unfair, isn't it? Besides, shouldn't the one who is cheating be the one who secretly tosses the coin to the third party?"

The robin puffed up its beak angrily and turned its face away like a spoiled child, as if to say - if you don't agree, I will ignore you.

Bai Jun could only smile helplessly and nodded: "Okay, okay, I promise..."

This wonderful atmosphere continued until a bunch of ringtones rang out, and the communicator in the hall rang at an inopportune time.

"Sorry, I have to answer the phone."

Robin quickly stood up and trotted over to Helen, who was already standing in front of the communicator, and answered the call.

It was the message from the delegation. They were very dissatisfied with Robin's behavior last night, but considering that it did not affect the progress of the concert, they only criticized Robin verbally, imposed a symbolic fine, and ended the communication hastily.

This should be considered a blessing in disguise, and there was surprisingly no reaction from the Shen Ce Mansion, as if they had tacitly approved of Robin's behavior last night. No news of condemnation came all day.

In the blink of an eye, it was already 17 pm and it was time for the closing ceremony of the tour concert.

The finale of the performance was the Robin, wearing a gorgeous gown, giving the audience his final greetings. Amidst the overwhelming cheers, the sun had already set in the western sky. The celebration brought by the music slowly faded away with the evening breeze, and this world tour concert came to an end.

Before leaving, Robin accompanied the delegation to have the final meeting with the Shen Ce Mansion. Potio was not used to that kind of atmosphere, so he came to Chahai alone.

The Cloud Cavalry had long since cleared out all the extraneous personnel, leaving only the boundless Sea of ​​​​Cha and the magnificent sunset. Even the Star Ships passing through the Star Gate were much fewer. Compared to the past, the current Star Ship Sea seemed even more desolate.

"Ah, it feels like the past few days have passed so quickly, so quickly that even I want it to go slower."

Portio stretched out his body for a long time facing the setting sun. After spending a few days together, he actually felt reluctant to leave. However, he knew that he still had a mission to complete, so he would not stop anywhere... at least not before he killed those cute guys in the company.

"Do cowboys also feel sad about leaving?"

Bai Jun found Potio standing alone by the Chahai Sea, and walked up to him as well, leaning on the railing and looking at the artificial sunlight setting in the distance.

"Ha, what's that? We cowboys value friendship the most. By the way, brother, weren't you following the big star over there? Why are you here?"

"They're taking pictures over there, and I'm too lazy to join in."

Bai Jun shrugged. No matter where Xianzhou was, he always liked to take photos to commemorate the event.

Botio slowly put away his smile, a hint of loneliness appearing on his stern face. He really liked this friend named Bai Jun. He could feel a closeness from this friend that was very similar to that of his family. So for a moment, he was a little unsure how to say goodbye. He scratched his hair awkwardly, and after a long pause, he could only say:

"I won't pretend to be sure I'll see you again...but if we ever meet again in the future, I just hope I won't be a corpse by then."

"Don't make such a sissy face. If you're even a little serious I'll think you're sick."

Bai Jun carelessly punched him on the shoulder and kicked him hard on the butt. Potio realized how effeminate he was at this moment, so he grinned and kicked Bai Jun back in no less fierce manner.

"Take it. It will save you from a lot of misunderstandings when you meet other Ranger fellows in the future."

Suddenly, Poteo noticed the disbanding crowd over there, and took out a brooch with a hunting arrow printed on it from his coat pocket.

After handing it over to Bai Jun, Potio kept saying things like not to disturb them, and walked towards the spaceship docked by Chahai.

"So you're here. I didn't see you when I was taking pictures just now. I thought you had left."

The sound of a robin came from behind her. She walked over with a bouquet of flowers given by the Shen Ce Mansion. When she saw Bai Jun was still there, a subtle sense of relief flashed in her eyes and a gentle smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.

"No matter what, I won't be the kind of person who can't bear to say goodbye."

Bai Jun put away the brooch and gave a helpless smile.

"By the way, Bai Jun, has anyone ever told you..."

The robin stared at his smile for a moment, then stuffed the flowers in her arms into Bai Jun's hands, stood on tiptoe, and whispered something into his ear mysteriously.

Bai Jun lowered his head without any doubt, only to hear the girl say cunningly: "You look really beautiful when you smile. Remember to smile more in the future!"

As the voice fell, he suddenly felt a gentle touch on his cheek, and the girl's warm lips gently pressed against his cheek.

"I leave my smile with you, so you must live well with this smile of mine until we meet again!"

The girl's slightly red cheeks were no less radiant than the afterglow of the setting sun. In the glow of the sunset, her hurriedly fleeing shadow stretched across the shimmering sea.

"What... am I being teased?"

This scene seemed familiar. The scenery of the sunset made Bai Jun look dazed. Perhaps he was reluctant to give up this short fate.

The bouquet of flowers in my hand swayed gently in the evening breeze.

Sky-Splitting Watchman Star, Bright Sky Fire: Chapter 81 Why do you fox people all like this tune?

A new sun rises.

The sky still retains its deep blue color, as if it has just cleared up after the rain and is cloudless.

Bai Jun got up early and went out for a little exercise. Unfortunately, he didn't meet that idiot Su Shang. It's been less than a week. Could it be that she was too lazy to come out to practice sword?

The answer to this question will be known the next time he meets her. Bai Jun bought some morning tea, but did not choose to eat it in the store as usual. Instead, he took it back home.

He had other things to do today and would not go to work at the Diheng Division, so after having breakfast at home, he began to prepare to go to the place called Black Tower Space Station that he and Jing Yuan had agreed to meet last time.
