Chapter 453 The First Villain
Watching Xu Damao's departing figure, Yan Bugui's eyes were filled with dissatisfaction, and his face flashed with anger.
"This is outrageous, absolutely outrageous! Li Qin is so inconsiderate. I'll definitely give him a piece of my mind when he gets back."
Yan Bugui thought to himself.
For Yan Bugui, not gaining any advantage is a loss.
If he had known in advance that Xu Damao would be riding Li Qin's bicycle back, he could have gotten a ride.
This can save a lot of time and effort.
Moreover, since they all walked there and back, the energy expenditure was naturally considerable.
We eat more during mealtimes, and all that extra food costs money.
The thought of these things made Yan Bugui's heart bleed.
This led to the scene where Yan Bugui stopped Li Qin.
Li Qin ignored Yan Bugui's thoughts and returned to the backyard.
Because of Yan Bugui, he was in a bad mood and didn't pay much attention to his surroundings.
Just as he pushed open his front door, a figure suddenly appeared behind him;
"Li Qin, you're finally back!"
Li Qin, who was already somewhat absent-minded, suddenly heard a voice behind him and instinctively wanted to use a spell.
Fortunately, at the last moment, he recognized the voice as Xu Damao's, and that's how he managed to hold back.
Otherwise, Xu Damao would have been seriously injured even if he hadn't died by now.
Li Qin turned to look at Xu Damao and said somewhat irritably:
"Da Mao, don't you know the saying 'a person scares another person to death'? If you suddenly jump out from behind me like that, something bad could happen if you're not careful."
Upon hearing Li Qin's words, Xu Damao immediately gave Li Qin a strange look from head to toe, and then suddenly revealed a peculiar smile.
"Haha, I didn't expect you to be such a coward."
Xu Damao misunderstood Li Qin's meaning.
Li Qin glanced at the other person sideways and sighed helplessly in his heart.
Looking at Xu Damao's eerie smile, Li Qin really wanted to tell him that he had suddenly appeared behind him and scared him.
The final result wasn't that he was scared; on the contrary, Xu Damao might get hurt as a result.
Just like now, if Li Qin hadn't reacted at the last moment, no matter what spell Li Qin used in the end, Xu Damao wouldn't have gotten away with it.
If Li Qin had reacted more strongly, he might have unleashed a devastating spell without realizing it;
For example, the Shattering Charm, the Cutting Charm, the Exploding Charm...
At that point, Xu Damao's injury wouldn't be just a simple matter; he might even lose his life.
However, Li Qin couldn't say these things outright, so he simply shook his head helplessly.
At this moment, Li Qin didn't even want to waste words with Xu Damao, and went straight into the house to turn on the lights.
As soon as a few lights came on, the originally dark room became bright.
This is something that other residents of the courtyard house cannot compare to.
In the courtyard houses, although every household has installed lamps, they are reluctant to use them. Even when they need lighting, they will only turn on one lamp at most.
If they feel the lights are insufficient, they will only choose to use oil lamps for supplemental lighting.
This is because there is a charge for using electric lights.
In comparison, oil lamps are much cheaper.
Therefore, most of the houses in the courtyards are not well lit at night.
Li Qin, however, was not short of money and did not value money too much, so he never hesitated to use the lights at night when he was at home.
After getting to know Li Qin better, Xu Damao gradually became somewhat shameless.
Upon seeing Li Qin enter the room, he followed without being asked to do so.
After entering the room, I naturally found a place to sit down.
Li Qin didn't say anything, but took out the thermos and poured a cup of hot water for himself and Xu Damao respectively.
Although it hasn't really gotten cold yet, the temperature has already started to drop.
In this situation, Li Qin still prefers to drink hot water.
Seeing that Li Qin had only made a cup of plain water instead of tea, a hint of disappointment flashed in Xu Damao's eyes, but it disappeared in an instant.
Xu Damao is a man who knows his limits.
Although he really wanted to try Li Qin's tea again, he wouldn't bring it up since Li Qin hadn't brewed any.
Xu Damao also understood that it was already evening, and it would be time to go to bed soon.
It is indeed somewhat inappropriate to brew tea at this time.
Xu Damao casually picked up the hot water, took a sip, and then put the cup down.
Then he took something out of his pocket and handed it to Li Qin;
"Li Qin, here are the bicycle keys. Remember to keep them safe. I parked the bicycle under your window, which is where you usually park it."
"Do you want to get it checked out?"
When he said the last sentence, Xu Damao's expression suddenly became serious.
His relationship with Li Qin was indeed good, but a bicycle is not an ordinary thing. Li Qin trusted him, but Xu Damao still felt that Li Qin should have it checked.
This can also prevent some misunderstandings from occurring.
Xu Damao had no idea that a mere bicycle meant very little to Li Qin.
So after hearing his words, Li Qin simply waved his hand.
"There's no need. I trust you. If there really is a problem, you'll tell me yourself. Since you haven't said anything, it means there haven't been any unexpected events."
During this period of contact, Li Qin discovered that Xu Damao was quite responsible.
If Xu Damao really broke the bicycle, he would tell everyone without Xu Damao even having to say it.
Li Qin was quite certain of this.
Besides, even if Li Qin misjudged the person, and the bicycle really had some problem, Li Qin could easily fix it with a magic spell.
Therefore, there is absolutely no need to check.
Upon hearing Li Qin's words, Xu Damao was deeply moved by Li Qin's trust.
If he hadn't reacted quickly, tears would have welled up in Xu Damao's eyes.
Seeing that he couldn't hold back any longer, Xu Damao picked up his water glass to cover himself.
After calming down, Xu Damao put down his water glass again.
He looked at Li Qin with a smile on his face;
At this moment, Xu Damao didn't say anything, but a thousand words flashed through his mind.
In summary, it can be summed up in one sentence;
It's my good fortune to have you as a friend, Li Qin!
Li Qin was unaware of any of this; his attention was drawn to the notification sound that the system had just given him.
[Emotional Power +5000]
[Emotional Power +5000]
[Emotional Power +5000]
After a while, the notification sound gradually decreased and finally stopped.
Li Qin then looked at Xu Damao with a strange expression.
This is the second time Xu Damao has unleashed such a large amount of emotional power.
If Li Qin hadn't known the plot, he might have even suspected that Xu Damao was the real protagonist of the drama "Siheyuan".
However, after thinking it over carefully, Li Qin realized that Xu Damao might not be the main character, but he could be considered the "number one villain".
In this light, such a performance seems to make sense.
However, in general, Xu Damao is still somewhat inferior to the protagonists He Yuzhu and Qin Huairu in terms of unleashing emotional power. Li Qin clearly remembers that he only had slight contact with He Yuzhu and Qin Huairu, and the two of them easily unleashed a large amount of emotional power.
Xu Damao, on the other hand, needs to be stimulated to a certain extent.
