Chapter 405 What’s Baymax White
Qiu Yu was fidgety because he felt that outside the horse carriage, there was someone who was looking at him all the time.
Although they were separated by the walls of the carriage, Long Tianyu looked as if he was going to kill him with the murderous look in his eyes.
However, what was causing him greater pain was the master before his eyes.
This master refused to let him get off the horse carriage to ride on the horse. He could only pluck up his courage and purposely ignored the murderous look shot at him.
“Let take a rest for an hour just in front!”
A voice that sounded crude and unrestrained echoed from outside.
They had been traveling for half a day since they set off from the town.
The journey for the traveling merchants was not as easy as she imagined, neither was an exciting affair.
It was a repetition of uneventful and dry journey day after day, year after year.
For the sake of achieving one’s goal, no matter what awaited in the journey ahead, one had to make it through one step at a time.
Yuan San found a suitable place and parked the horse carriage by the roadside.
The moment the carriage was steadily parked, Qiu Yu slipped away in an instant, using the excuse that he needed to relieve himself.
Staring at Qiu Yu’s back, Lin Mengya shook her head helplessly.
Nevertheless, she knew very well that not many people could escape Long Tianyu’s murderous look.
Unfortunately, she was one of those few who were not afraid of him.
“Master, should we deliver some food to the prince?”
Baishao whispered the question into Lin Mengya’s ear.
Since Lin Mengya did a bad turn to the prince that morning, although not all the people in her group of businessmen were abhorred evil as deadly foes, as long as something went against their moral ethics, even heroes would have to give in to her.
Furthermore, since the appearance of Long Tianyu, Baishao had been shaking all over and looking pitiful. It was obvious that she was extremely fearful of Long Tianyu.
Unfortunately, this was other people’s family affair.
There was nothing Master Guo and his two assistants could do except to pretend they did not see anything.
As Lin Mengya bit on the dry buns, she could not help feeling very satisfied with herself.
“Big Brother, come over to have some food!”
She already had all the fun, so it was not right for her to starve Long Tianyu.
Lin Mengya laughed quietly to herself although she tried to put on a look of pity and empathy on her face.
Seeing that Long Tianyu had walked towards her, Lin Mengya took one bun from the heap of buns in front of her and gave it to him.
“Big Brother, I still have some meat and vegetables here. Let’s have a chat.”
Lin Mengya was not at all embarrassed addressing Long Tianyu as ‘Big Brother’, while there was nothing he could do about it.
He thought he would be able to recover some lost ground, who knew that he would fall into this lass’ plot again.
He did not even have someone to talk to throughout the entire journey.
Thankfully he was used to being quiet. He was just not used to the strange look those people were giving him.
Furthermore, how audacious of Qiu Yu to hide in the horse carriage. Long Tianyu could no longer stand it after an entire morning of holding his feelings in.
When he took the bun from Lin Mengya’s hand, he bit into it without even taking a look at it.
Just by looking at the satisfied smile on Lin Mengya’s face, he could not bring himself to rebuke her.
Sighing and frowning a little, Long Tianyu munched on the bun little by little while keeping his eyes on her. She had lived in luxury back in the prince’s mansion. He supposed she was not used to the food here.
He turned around and returned to his horse where he got out a wrapped up package from the saddlebag
“Here you go, this is for you.”
Lin Mengya, who was using her all her jaw strength to bite down on the bun, looked at the package in Long Tianyu’s big hand in a daze.
The aroma coming from it made her swallow hard.
She took over the package and opened it quickly.
Just as she expected, it was the cakes from Restaurant Ruyi!
“How did you manage to bring this here?”
Lin Mengya queried Long Tianyu before she started eating.
Long Tianyu had obviously left the Capital City earlier than Lin Mengya.
If he had bought these cakes then, would they not be spoiled by now?
Furthermore, if he had made a trip back to the Capital City meanwhile, it would be impossible for him to catch up with her so fast. The only possibility was…
“You engaged someone to stalk me!”
Lin Mengya opened her eyes wide as she stared at the man before her.
Could it be that she was under the control of this man all these while since she left the Capital City?
Pouting, Lin Mengya almost wanted to toss the cakes away.
However, after pondering over it, she could not bring herself to do it. These cakes were not cheap after all. Even though Restaurant Ruyi was hers, there was no way she could waste the food from there!
“I’m just worried about your safety. They will protect you secretly and will not show themselves.”
If it were some other people, Long Tianyu would definitely not offer the explanation in such a patient manner.
Towards Lin Mengya, however, he was different.
He had put away all problems that entangled from his mind and set out conditions to achieve reconciliation with Lin Mengya.
“Alright, I admit that I’m at fault in the inn. Anyway, you’ve nagged at me, so will you stop blaming me already?”
“Cough, cough…”
Choking, Lin Mengya hammered her chest and blushed as she kept her eyes on the man before her.
Was it possible that he had apologized voluntarily? Long Tianyu, Prince Yu!
He had actually apologized to her on his own accord. Good heavens! Was the sun blue color today?
Seeing the strange look in Lin Mengya’s eyes, Long Tianyu merely let out an uneasy cough.
This girl was reaching for a yard after he gave her an inch!
“Alright, since you’ve admitted your mistake, I am going to forgive you, but on only one condition!”
Lin Mengya was indeed insatiable. She wanted ten times more than what she was offered.
With a sly smile on her face, she narrowed her eyes as she savored the aromatic cakes.
“Firstly, you will be responsible for the expenses of the four of us along the entire journey!”
Thank goodness, Long Tianyu was relieved to hear that.
He had expected that she might get angry, so Long Tianyu had brought along a substantial amount of money with him this time.
Not to mention funding their journey to the Nation of Lintian, the money he had was more than sufficient to cover their expense in their next life, even their life after.
“Secondly, you have to be at my service the entire way. You will be my banking house for all my expenditures. You’ve to be my Baymax when I’m upset. When I meet with dangers, you’ll be my bodyguard. When I’m feeling bored, you’ll be my sandbag. You’ve to do whatever I ask you to do. Anyhow, you have to answer to my every request. You’re a dog if you fail to do so. When we return to the Capital City, you’ve to bark like a dog in front of all the people in the mansion!”
Once Lin Mengya had listed all the conditions in one long breath, she immediately picked up a cup of water to drink.
Given how prideful Long Tianyu was, he would not allow him to suffer.
This way, she would be justified to drive Long Tianyu back to the Capital City.
Although she had to admit that Long Tianyu would be a great help to her if he came along.
However, she had a premonition that she might find out something about her mother this time.
Another more important reason that she did not wish to have Long Tianyu come along was that many of her personnel from Sanjue Hall was among the group of businessmen.
She had to stay to protect them when necessary. However, Long Tianyu was too smart. If he stayed on, she felt restrained in many ways.
As expected, Long Tianyu’s expression froze, then he furrowed his brows.
Take offense! Get angry quickly! Then turn and leave!
Lin Mengya prayed that this would happen and she had already prepared her lines following this.
However, however, why did Long Tianyu, this fool, appear to be considering the conditions she listed?
Good heavens! If Long Tianyu was willing to accept such humiliating conditions, he would definitely be an imposter!
Long Tianyu frowned and after pondering for a while, he began to speak.
“That…”
Lin Mengya’s heart was hanging as she waited for him to lose his temper.
“What, what is a Baymax?”
Helpless, Lin Mengya rolled her eyes at him. He had totally missed the point!
She expected Long Tianyu to at least get annoyed. Never would she imagine that he had picked up ‘Baymax’ and asked about it!
The prince’s brain indeed worked very differently from that of a normal person!
“It’s a robot!”
“What’s a robot?”
“A robot is… Alas, forget it, it’s an iron puppet. Oh yes, are you going to agree to the conditions I set out?”
Lin Mengya had to take her hats off to him. The main point was about her unreasonable demands, was it not?
After she answered his question, Long Tianyu looked as if he had suddenly seen the light.
He continued to ponder for a while longer before he opened his mouth to speak again.
“There is no problem with the conditions you set. As for the iron puppet, do you think there’s still time if I find someone to make it for you now? Actually, puppets are not as useful as people. If you insist, I will go into the town ahead of us and find a steel armor and bring it back. Will that do?”
Immediately, Lin Mengya’s jaws dropped at Long Tianyu’s reply.
He… Was he really Long Tianyu?
She reached out to feel his face and found that his cheeks were supple and firm and his complexion was soft and delicate without any pimples.
There was no mistake that this was indeed Long Tianyu’s handsome face.
Why did she feel the urge to skin him so she could see the inside of him to check if someone else had taken over his role in this drama?
Good heavens! Did he take some medicine by mistake? How had he turned into a completely different person?
“Why? Is there something on my face?”
As Lin Mengya used her delicate hands to feel around his face, he did not dislike it. As a habit, however, Lin Mengya had suddenly behaved in this way perhaps because there was something smeared on his face.
He was surprised when Lin Mengya, who was so excited about listing out her conditions just moments ago, had lost her energy and returned to her seat in the horse carriage.
She even took a piece of ginger from the pot of beef and started munching on it bit by bit.
From his impression, she had never eaten raw ginger in the prince’s mansion.
Could she have become angry because he was not quick enough to agree to her requests?
He touched her hair as he thought to himself that he had always been a man of his words. If he promised her so easily but failed to keep to his promise, would he not disappoint her even more?
This was why he had to clarify what exactly Baymax was.
Maybe Lin Mengya especially fancied the kind of iron puppet called Baymax and this was the reason she looked so dejected now?
