The brightness of a flashlight shone on both men. Fortunately for Xu Lan, his skin was dark; otherwise it would surely be a scene to see his face with blushes of red and patches of white.
“Who’s there?” The aging voice called out once more, and the person behind the voice slowly came closer. Bai Wu held Xu Lan’s hand tightly and stood protectively in front of him. With leaden steps, he inched closer to the direction of the flashlight.
An old, gray-haired woman walked tremblingly toward them with the aid of a walking stick. As she shined the flashlight on Bai Wu, she burst out in anger, “This is offending public morals!”
The light enabled Xu Lan to finally notice that Bai Wu was not wearing any f*cking clothes! He was standing butt naked in front of the old lady! Did Bai Wu’s c*ck not feel unbearable when it swayed around while walking and leading Xu Lan? Xu Lan stepped forward immediately and stood in between Bai Wu and the old lady.
“Hehe, sorry old lady. We didn’t know there’d be people here,” Xu Lan apologized ashamedly. “Old lady, perhaps we can stay at your place for one night if you don’t mind? We’ll leave as soon as morning comes, and we won’t give you any trouble.”
Despite Xu Lan’s appropriateness in asking the question politely, he did not even attempt to explain how they managed to appear there, much less why Bai Wu was in such a state. Explaining would do no good, since she would not believe him anyway, and misunderstandings might even be regarded as the truth.
“…where were you both just now?” The old lady looked at Xu Lan from head to toe. His once strong and energetic body had become considerably thin, and it was evident that he was weak when he stood in front of Bai Wu.
“Hm? We came from the cliff up ahead,” Xu Lan answered without putting too much thought into it.
The old lady stared intently at Xu Lan. With her emaciated hand, she pointed shakily at the dark mountain behind him and asked, “You came here from the cliff that’s one kilometer away?”
Xu Lan looked up and pondered for a moment. He did not notice how much time had passed, since Bai Wu kept talking. Still, one kilometer seemed reasonable according to their pace, and though he did not consider the distance far, Xu Lan simply nodded.
“…yes! There are empty beds! Come with me!” The old lady answered with excitedly. Her walking stick provided a crutch for her as she walked in staggers and led Xu Lan to her house, which was not far from there. She would occasionally point the flashlight to the dark sky above.
Xu Lan looked at the old lady’s baffling actions with suspicion. Within moments, two more flashlights shone from up ahead and the people who shone the light appeared before them. The flashlights belonged to two tall men. They bowed respectfully to the old lady and listened to her explanation. Then, they lifted their heads and cast an angry look at Xu Lan.
“Haha, let’s not be hasty. We came here on holiday.”
Xu Lan used his palm to shield himself from the light that was shining on his face. He puckered his lips and used them to gesture at the naked Bai Wu. The two men looked at Xu Lan from top to bottom in disgust, then did the same to Bai Wu. Finally, they let out a soft snort as they walked toward the place where Xu Lan and Bai Wu had originally come from.
“Pa…oh.” Bai Wu looked confusingly at the two men, and opened his mouth to call Xu Lan. Xu Lan immediately pinched him on the waist.
“It’s not funny, is it?” Xu Lan asked and shot a cold glance at Bai Wu. When the old lady turned to look at them, Xu Lan once again apologized profusely and hinted at her to continue walking.
The old lady scoffed and with a look of despise, she continued to lead the journey.
“F*ck! Grow a brain, will ya? Didn’t you see how they looked at us with disgust? If you keep calling me Papa, I’m afraid they won’t even let us sleep with the dogs.” Xu Lan massaged the area that he pinched and remarked softly to Bai Wu.
“But, how should I call Papa then?” Bai Wu’s heart began thumping wildly as he asked with a hoarse voice.
“Tsk, just call me by my name,” Xu Lan tsk-ed and replied annoyedly.
“Xu Lan?” Bai Wu’s voice trembled and he struggled to spit out those two words.
“Mm.”
“Xu Lan.” It was much better the second time. Bai Wu had taken a deep breath and mustered up some courage.
“Mm.”
“Xu Lan!”
“Motherf*cker! There’s no need to repeat it so much! Walk faster! We’re reaching!” Xu Lan kicked at Bai Wu’s calf and reprimanded him in a low voice.
