BXBX NOVEL Chapter 202 - Meeting Marian.
Yang Dao suddenly sneezed. Icarus asked, "Did you catch a cold?"
The boy shook his head and said, "No, I don\'t think I caught a cold." as he kept pedaling. The Dao Child, catching a cold. How embarrassing is that? The boy rode calmly, suddenly the phone in his back pocket vibrated.
He picked it up with his left hand and put it next to his ear, "Hello." sounded a soft voice from the other side.
Yang Dao recognized this voice. He said, "Hello Marian."
"Young Master Feng, can we talk about what you promised the last time?" she asked a little wryly. The boy could pick up some sounds coming from her side. He said, "Yes we can talk. I hope you come alone or just one more elder person along with you. If I saw your gang trying to get back on me for yesterday, I will be killing directly this time."
His cold voice scared her again. She agreed to his conditions and they decided to meet after an hour. The boy disconnected the call and sped up to catch up with Ayaka. He told said, "Coach, I have a meeting in an hour. Can I go ahead? I swear this is the last time I disturb the training."
Ayaka sighed and said, "Who asked me to make you kid my favorite? As a punishment, you will cook me hot spicy ramen."
Yang Dao chuckled and said, "Okay, deal. I will be back in a few hours. Bye-bye."
The boy then rode his bike and moved past the jeep. Ayaka yelled loudly, "BE CAREFUL."
Yang Dao raised his hand and showed an okay symbol. In the back, Icarus was sobbing, he mumbled, "Farewell Ayaka, the love of my life."
The senior behind him thought the boy was hurt and was about to console him when he heard another mumble, "Sasha\'s aunt is also single. Hmmm, let us try on here. Hehehe..."
His words almost made the senior lose the balance of his bike. The person got past him and smacked the back of his head. He retorted, "Focus."Icarus immediately became honest.
...
Yang Dao rode his bike on the curvy roads with ease, occasionally he would come across some military vehicles. he arrived at the designated place and parked his bike to the side of the road. He enjoyed the high mountains overlapping each other in the surroundings. He said, "If only they had some tree to paint this grey dead scenery into a lively one, that would have been awesome, no, Marian?"
Other people may not know her approaching them but Yang Dao knew about her movement when she entered the one-kilometer perception range. Marian was shocked. She did not expect this boy to know about her arrival. She wanted to check if he really had such capability.
She asked in a low voice, "How did you know about my approach?" she was confident in her skills, she made no sound at all.
The boy just gave a single word to her, "Wind." he did not explain it to her. The girl was confused but after a few moments, she changed the topic.
"What about your promise?" her voice may be soft but the resolve was firm. She had her left hand supported by a sling. The boy said, "Two teams of people will arrive here. One will have your village settled the other with giving you work training. You all those who work will get a fixed salary and some bonus. rest-assured the money will be enough."
The two people kept talking and after the discussion, Yang Dao gave her a pen drive, he said, "This is the plan. You can study with your people."
Marian took the pen drive and asked, "Why are you doing this?"
This question has been troubling her ever since Yang Dao promised her the resettlement and work stuff. She did not sleep last night but after calming the gang she decided to ask him this question today.
The boy replied, "Helping a few people will get me some good deed in life. So I am just accumulating your blessings to protect myself in the future." he had a slight smile on his face. He enjoyed bringing smiles to others. Yang Dao was the Dao Child. He was not only a strong man but he was also a scale of providence.
He would always react to people around him based on the invisible scale of Karma. Those who did good will be on his good side, those who did bad will suffer his wrath. This was his principle and also karma\'s cycle. You would reap what you sowed.
The two people chatted a bit more and after an hour Marian left with the storage drive in her hand. Yang Dao gazed at the scenery and then rode his bike back to the team. When he came back it was already noon, Ayaka said, "Lunchtime. Ride back. Dao will cook."
Yang Dao was helpless and with a nod, he rode his bike with everyone heading to the Orlenko Mansion. The old lady was walking back and forth. She was trying to come up with plans to help Sasha seduce Yang Dao.
Even now she was unaware of his identity. She wanted someone who can live in their family house after marriage so that she will not have to send away her darling granddaughter. So, she thought that Yang Dao was a perfect choice. Mina tried to tell her that Yang Dao was not as simple of a person as she thought, but she did not believe her thinking she was deliberately trying to sabotage the relationship talks.
At this moment suddenly she heard a clatter outside her room, "Kiya, come Dao is cooking. You will miss eating otherwise. Come on you lovely strawberry."
Kiya scolded her, "Sasha, you... today this old woman will treat you good." Then a tide of giggles and chuckles broke out in the corridor. Their banter made the old lady sigh as she mumbled, "If only Nika was like Sasha too."
