BXBX NOVEL Chapter 186 Stalker! (2)
"Why are you following me?" Li Caiyi squinted her eyes.
Meng Renshu sighed. "I can\'t leave you alone when I see you running away in a panic like that. I just want to make sure you are okay."
"Well, you have seen me in my perfect condition. You can leave now."
Meng Renshu chuckled in amusement. "Don\'t be so cold. If you can tell me what happened here, I probably can help you. No, I\'ll make sure I can be of some help to you."
"Thanks, but no thanks. I don\'t need your help."
"I see. Then what are you planning to do?"
"Why should I tell you?" Li Caiyi turned away from him. "Please, just leave already. There is nothing you can do to help me, and even if there is, I don\'t need it."
"Are we stopping our temporary truce now? Did you change your mind and plan to give me the cold shoulder again, just like previously?"
Li Caiyi was already on edge before he came, but hearing him taunted her with that annoying smirk on his face made her irritated even more.
"What do you want from me, exactly? I already said I don\'t need your help! Stop trying to find out what I want to do because that\'s none of your business!"
A trace of gloominess flashed across Meng Renshu\'s eyes when he heard that, but he quickly concealed it with his smile. "You might want to take this more objectively, Xiaoyi. I saw what you did before. You acted like a stalker by banging on the door and peering from outside the window. Anyone could tell you are searching for someone, and that\'s pretty creepy."
"You are one to talk. I don\'t want to be called a stalker by the real stalker!" Li Caiyi retorted immediately.
"I never said I wasn\'t one. At least I\'m not ashamed to admit it." Meng Renshu shrugged his shoulders indifferently, rendering Li Caiyi speechless by his shamelessness.
She massaged her throbbing temple and told herself not to get swept away by Meng Renshu\'s pace. He was cunning, so the best way to avoid delaying more time talking with him was to just avoid him altogether.
"Do as you please. My business here is done, so farewell."
However, Li Caiyi was once blocked again when she tried to go around him. Meng Renshu stood in her way like a giant tower as he looked down at her.
"Leaving while someone is still in the middle of talking to you is your new hobby?"
Li Caiyi\'s face contorted in what seemed to be a mixture of exasperation and helplessness. "Brother Renshu, I really have no time to fight with you right now."
"And that\'s why I said I\'m going to help you. Why bother putting your personal feelings before you while there is clearly an easier path ahead of you?"
Li Caiyi bit her lips in frustration. It wasn\'t like she didn\'t understand what he meant, but she was afraid she would lose another memory by being around Meng Renshu.
As of now, there were lots of mysterious elements about her rebirth phenomena, and Li Caiyi didn\'t want to risk anything. There should be some kind of mechanism or conditions in work here. She just hadn\'t found out what that was yet.
Meng Renshu, who noticed her wavering, smiled sweetly at her. "Don\'t make such a face. Just think about how much easier it would be if you relied on me. You know I have a lot of connections, so it wouldn\'t be hard for me to find out where Dai Shenqiang would be at the moment."
Li Caiyi jolted upon hearing that and could only look dumbly at Meng Renshu\'s face. However, a second later, she finally realized that Meng Renshu must have done a thorough background check on Dai Shenqiang before this.
Despite knowing that, he still had a gall pretending not to know anything about this place and coaxed her to spill the beans first.
"You are the most cunning person I have ever seen," Li Caiyi growled under her breath.
Meng Renshu flashed an attractive smile as he bent down to look at her closer. "Are you finally going to think about my offer? It\'s a pleasure to be in your service, my lady."
Li Caiyi pushed him away because he kept trying to enter her personal space. Once she finally got some distance from him, she finally felt calmer.
"If you really know where he is, tell me where Dai Shenqiang is now."
"He is probably busy taking care of his father in the hospital." Meng Renshu replied lightly.
Li Caiyi: "!!"
Why didn\'t she think of that possibility? But then again, she had never heard much about Mr. Dai except the time when Dai Shenqiang mentioned him once. Li Caiyi felt like it wasn\'t right for her to ask, so she kept her mouth shut. She didn\'t even know in which hospital did Mr. Dai was treated.
"Mr. Dai is hospitalized in the S Health Hospital," Meng Renshu added, as though he had a mind-reading ability.
"Do you think that both of them were there?"
Meng Renshu\'s eyebrows creased. "Both? Ah, you mean Dai Zhiqiang as well. I suppose so since there\'s no way both of them will leave their sick father behind."
"That\'s true," Li Caiyi agreed with him, as she knew how much the brothers cherished their family. "I\'ll go to the hospital right now. Thank you for—kya!!"
Li Caiyi yelped in shock when Meng Renshu suddenly hauled her to his shoulder, carrying her like a sack of rice.
The sudden movement caught her off guard, and she felt disoriented for a few seconds seeing the world in front of her flipped in a blink of an eye.
"It\'ll be faster if we go there by car. Learn how to save your money and don\'t overspend your allowance in taxi fees." Meng Renshu said before walking out of the Dai family house\'s yard while carrying Li Caiyi on his shoulder.
That was when Li Caiyi fully grasped the whole situation. Seething with anger and embarrassment, she repeatedly smacked his back while struggling to get off his shoulder by thrashing her legs around. "What the hell are you doing? Put me down! This is so embarrassing! I\'m not a sack of rice!"
Meng Renshu laughed heartily. "Well, perhaps you should eat more rice since you are too light. If you keep struggling like that, I won\'t be responsible if you fall and hurt yourself."
"If you don\'t put me down, I\'ll scream and let the whole neighborhood know you kidnapped me!"
"Haha, if you don\'t mind people seeing us like this, then be my guest."
Li Caiyi couldn\'t win against him, whether in terms of a physical or verbal fight. In the end, she could only cover her face with both of her hands while inwardly praying no one would see this embarrassing scene.
Meng Renshu couldn\'t suppress a satisfied smile from appearing once her resistance gradually weakened, and she became as docile as a lamb. He wasn\'t lying when he said she was light. He even hoped his car was parked farther, so he could carry her longer.
