Yao: I Want It All

Entering An Siyao's villa, Xia Yu and Xu Youxiang arrived together at the artificial river in the backyard.

In the pavilion, An Siyao was already waiting.

Seeing Xia Yu coming over, the girl happily stood up and waved at him.

Waving back, Xia Yu pushed Xu Youxiang into the pavilion.

The pavilion was made of stone, with a flying eave as the base, the entire pavilion was built on the water, and the sound of the flowing water came from below.

Pushing Xu Youxiang to a suitable position, Xia Yu sat down on the stone stool next to her.

An Siyao asked a maid to bring over some new refreshments.

Looking at the plate, Xia Yu was somewhat disappointed to see the balls skewered with small bamboo sticks.

Unlike the crystal-clear White Jade Dumplings which were quite unique, these balls had a very ordinary appearance.

Picking up a small bamboo stick, Xia Yu examined the ball on it.

The ball was pale red, somewhat pinkish. In shape, the ball was round, but upon a closer look, there were still some uneven places that were made by hand.

Smelling it, there was a faint aroma of glutinous rice.

Finally, putting the ball into his mouth, Xia Yu frowned and tasted it. The flavor was a bit peculiar, with no ready-made taste to compare it to. It should be an imaginary flavor created by the pastry chef, not bad.

If it wasn't good, the pastry chef wouldn't have brought it out.

"How is it?" Supporting her chin, An Siyao watched Xia Yu's face.

"It's generally delicious." Xia Yu picked up another bamboo stick. "It's quite fresh for the first time."

"En." An Siyao's eyes narrowed with laughter as she continued to watch Xia Yu eat the balls.

Feeling a little awkward being watched, Xia Yu picked up another bamboo stick and stuffed the ball into her mouth.

An Siyao's smile became even brighter.

"What are you laughing at that makes you so happy?" Reaching out, Xia Yu rubbed the girl's face.

"Uh—" An Siyao made a sound.

Xia Yu originally just wanted to tease the girl, but when his hand touched her face, he found the feeling to be quite good, and he didn't want to let go immediately.

After rubbing for another five loops, Xia Yu let go of his hand.

An Siyao immediately picked up a bamboo stick and held a ball up to Xia Yu's mouth.

Looking at An Siyao's uneasy expression, Xia Yu opened his mouth.

An Siyao's face immediately showed joy, but in the next moment, Xia Yu closed his mouth again.

The girl's face had a mix of surprise, confusion, and dejection, creating a strangely intertwined expression.

After admiring An Siyao's expression, Xia Yu bit down on the ball in his mouth.

An Siyao regained her joyous appearance.

She picked up another bamboo stick, staring at Xia Yu's mouth, waiting for him to finish eating.

Their disregard for others frustrated Xu Youxiang who was beside them. She jabbed the plate of balls forcefully with the bamboo stick in her hand.

The tapping noise of the bamboo sticks on the plate caught Xia Yu and An Siyao's attention.

Glancing at the pocked balls, Xia Yu was a bit uneasy.

However, An Siyao, looking at Xu Youxiang's gloomy face, thought for a moment and handed the ball in her hand to Xu Youxiang's mouth.

When she fed Feng Yujia, Feng Yumo's face would look the same. All she needed to do then was to feed her as well.

Xu Youxiang immediately blushed and backed away, but An Siyao stood up directly and almost pressed the pill to Xu Youxiang's lips.

After swallowing the pill, Xu Youxiang's complexion was no longer gloomy.

The remaining three pills were eaten one by one, and then they drank tea. Today's gathering was considered over.

Xia Yu was driven home by the driver.

In the car, he was thinking about a genuinely important matter.

What should he do about Xu Youxiang?

If he was to abandon her, Xia Yu would be reluctant, but if he wanted them all, that would be too scummy.

After thinking back and forth, unable to arrive at a conclusion, Xia Yu decided to leave it to time.

What he could do now was to lay everything out in the open and not deceive the two of them.

He also needed to resolve Yan Wei as soon as possible, two people were already chaotic enough.

Taking out his phone, he thought for a moment and then asked An Siyao about her schedule.

An Siyao quickly replied:

I'm free anytime.

After sending a head-patting emoji, Xia Yu sent a message to Yan Wei, inviting her for dinner this Saturday.

Yan Wei did not respond immediately.

Putting down the phone, Xia Yu first thought about the plan in his mind.

He would bring An Siyao to the appointment together, and once Yan Wei saw An Siyao, she would give up, perfect.

But there was a problem in between.

After Yan Wei gave up, could he still see Yan Baiyu?

Forget it, it doesn't matter if he sees Yan Baiyu or not, just deal with the proper matters first, then consider the others.

Once he figured this out, Xia Yu's mood relaxed, and he looked at the scenery outside the window. At this time, the car arrived at a bustling street, with many pedestrians on both sides and several interesting scenes.

When the car reached a corner, a sense of crisis suddenly rose in Xia Yu's heart.

The sense of crisis was not intense, but not insignificant either. According to Xia Yu's degree of spiritual perception, it would probably cause a minor injury.

He first scanned the surroundings, and there were no abnormalities. The danger did not come from this part of the road, but from the front.

Xia Yu told the driver, "Stop the car."

The driver, puzzled, stopped the car and was about to turn around to see if Xia Yu had any issues.

At that moment, the sound of shattering glass came from the side of the street, and a dark shadow was thrown out of the second-floor window of a nearby shop, landing on the road.

It was a cell phone.

The driver judged that if he hadn't stopped the car, the cell phone would have most likely hit his vehicle. The car was sturdy and the glass was solid, so there wouldn't be any problems, but a sudden attack could cause panic and potentially lead to a car accident, possibly resulting in the destruction of the car and loss of lives.

In reality, the driver underestimated himself. Being a person with a slight sense of persecution, he was always alert, and an attack from a cell phone wouldn't make him panic enough to cause a car accident.

After the initial shock, the driver's first reaction to the incident was not an accident, but an attempted murder.

He was just a small character, not worth killing, but there was another person in the car.

Turning his head to look at Xia Yu, the driver thought:

At first, he thought that this young man was the second plaything besides Xu Youxiang for the young lady, but how can a plaything encounter an attempted murder? This young man must have a secret identity.

The driver thought of Xia Yu's early warning just now, and felt that Xia Yu was mysterious. How could he have known about the attack in advance? Was the opponent's action intercepted by their own intelligence team? Or was it because of his special observation skills, having noticed something unusual somewhere? In the driver's mind, the image of An Siyao, the big boss behind Xia Yu, became even more terrifying.

"Sir, what should we do now?" The driver straightened himself up and asked for Xia Yu's opinion.

"Let's go and see what's happening," Xia Yu said.

The driver hesitated for a moment, thinking that no one would dare to do anything in public, so he got out of the car and went up to the second floor of the shop.

Ten minutes later, the driver returned to the car, frowning as he spoke to Xia Yu. "Sir, there were two couples fighting and smashing things upstairs. When I went in, they had already started using knives."

"I see, let's go," Xia Yu nodded.

As this was the real reason, Xia Yu didn't have any other thoughts. However, to the driver, the fight seemed to be just a disguise to cover up for the police.

In the end, he was extremely cautious while driving, fearing that another killer would spring out from the side. It took one and a half times the normal time to send Xia Yu home, the driver sighed with relief and headed back.

Unaware of the driver's uneasiness, Xia Yu calmly entered his house. As he changed his shoes, his phone made a notification sound.

That was Yan Wei's reply, agreeing to meet on Saturday.
