Pick Up a Killer as Girlfriend

The cool breeze has character, and the autumn moon is boundless, making me feel that pining for my beloved is like living a year in a day...

How should I put it?

Compared to losing his power, wiping out the Red Butterfly really made Xiaofan feel much more refreshed.

The main reason is that there's no pressure.

Right, without the pressure of the assassination order, it's no longer like before, always having to be alert to the surroundings no matter where you go.

Driving all the way to Star Moon...the familiar atmosphere, the familiar gate, still as lively as ever.

Entering the bar, it seemed there were quite a few more brothers, many faces Xiaofan had not seen before, so no one recognized Xiaofan, treating him as just an ordinary guest.

"Hey, who are you? You can't just go in and out of the fourth floor, go down..."

"Oh, I'm here to find Brother Xiong. Please let him know."

"Brother Xiong? Who the hell are you?"

From the elevator to the fourth floor, Xiaofan was stopped by four brothers at the door.

So much time had passed, but Brother Xiong still seemed like a nostalgic person, and now his status was probably several times higher than before, but he hadn't changed headquarters, still sticking to the fourth floor of Star Moon.

"My name is Ye Xiaofan."

"I don't care if you're Ye Dafan or Ye Xiaofan..."

"I'm a brother to Brother Xiong, and also to Brother Fei..." Xiaofan explained patiently.

"Brother? When did our boss have a brother like you, how come I don't know? I've been following Brother Long for a year. If there really was someone like you, wouldn't I know?"

"Hey, right, I'm also a brother to Brother Long, and to everyone else..." Xiaofan quickly said.

"Hahaha..."

Hearing Xiaofan's words, everyone burst into laughter.

"What's so funny...I'm just here to drink with everyone..."

"Kid, if you're trying to make connections, first take a good look at your own status. You should know, to call Brother Xiong a brother, only Brother Fei and Brother Long can do that. After them it's us, and if you want to join, at the very least you have to fall behind us, becoming the fifth-generation brother, understand?"

"I understand, but I'm truly..."

"Get lost, kid, go mix in somewhere else. You must be crazy wanting to be a boss."

"Bro, Bro, Brother Fei..." It was hard to explain to these guys, so Xiaofan could only shout toward the office.

It couldn't be helped; to avoid exposing his identity, he had left his phone in the Capital City, and later when he returned from XG, he was seriously injured. After waking up and being discharged from the hospital, he went straight back to the village with his grandfather, so he didn't have Fei and the others' numbers.

So with such a mix-up in front of him, Xiaofan couldn't help but smile wryly.

"Hey, kid, our Brother Fei's been in a bad mood these days. You little punk don't want to live, do you? Come on, get this little thing downstairs and interrogate him well. See if this kid has any bad intentions."

With those words, the brothers immediately stepped forward to grab Xiaofan.

Xiaofan had lost all his power, now just an ordinary person.

But, let's not forget, back before Xiaofan gained his power inheritance he and Brother Fei had fought street thugs with knives and sticks, and before that, they had taken down bandits together to save Brother Xiong.

So, even without Inner Strength, when facing thugs who only know how to brawl, Xiaofan felt no pressure.

'Bang.'

'Bang.'

'Creak...'

The door opened, and a man came out holding a bottle.

"What's all the ** noise about? Keep it up, and I'll deal with you all."

The familiar yet now clearly angry voice rang out.

"Ah, Brother Fei, Brother Fei, this kid just came out of nowhere and started making trouble..."

"Hmm? You..." A little drunk and with slightly blurry eyes, Fei didn't immediately recognize Xiaofan.

"Hey, bro..."

"Xiao... Fan? Whoa, it's really you, isn't it?"

Upon seeing clearly, Fei's previously angry face broke into a smile as he quickly walked over.

"How is everyone?"

"Oh my, you punk, you finally decided to come back? Come, let me give you a hug..."

Fei stepped forward, giving Xiaofan a bear hug. Then he released him and patted Xiaofan's shoulder strongly.

"You've grown, more robust. Good kid...hurry, come in and see Brother Xiong with me."

Seeing Fei's reaction, those brothers whom Xiaofan had just floored a few moments ago were all stunned. They hadn't expected Fei to really have such a young brother.

"Uh, Brother Fei, this, who is this..."

"You blind fools, this is my brother. Brother Xiong said that back then, at least half of our success was due to Xiaofan. Seriously..." Leaving that remark, Fei dragged Xiaofan inside.

"Brother Xiong, look who's back?"

"Xiaofan?"

"Brother Fan?"

"Xiaofan?"

"Young Master Fan?"

Seeing Xiaofan, everyone looked over in surprise, then they all came running over, giving Xiaofan a big bear hug just like Fei had before.

Feeling the strong brotherly affection, Xiaofan couldn't help but feel a bit nostalgic inside.

If he had given up on Zuimo back then and stayed with his brothers, who knows what he would've become now? Perhaps he would've become a debauched playboy, or maybe an arrogant local tyrant.

However, no matter where he goes, these brothers never forget him, just as he'll always come back to visit them no matter where he goes.

"Drink, drink..."

"Come on, Xiaofan, come on, back then you sure scared us, so come on, drink."

"Right, tonight we drink until we drop."

Drinking, that's a necessity, it's a certainty. After a long time apart, only after downing three glasses can the conversation really begin.

"Hahaha, you rascal, where have you been all this time?" Ouyang Xiong asked casually.

"Been to many places. Nearly died hundreds of times." Xiaofan replied nonchalantly.

"Oh? Then I really need to hear this." Ouyang Xiong continued to inquire.

"It's a long story. If I start, it'd take three days and nights and still be unfinished. If I stop halfway, there'd be no story left, how boring would that be."

"What? Are you leaving again?" Fei caught the underlying meaning in Xiaofan's words.

"Yeah. Tomorrow."

Yes, everyone who knows Xiaofan knows that his claim of having nearly died hundreds of times sounds like a joke, but they can hear the hardship in it. This guy's story is bound to be more thrilling than anyone else present.

"Where to?" Long asked immediately.

"To the Capital City to study. I'm still a college student now..."

"Eh, kid, really? I mean, why are you studying?" Ouyang Xiong asked disapprovingly.

"For a better future, of course." Xiaofan answered as usual.

"Look at me, your elder brother here, didn't even finish primary school, right? Look at me now."

"Not everyone has the kind of cultivation like Brother Xiong." Xiaofan smiled wryly.

"Hey, Xiaofan, don't forget, the words I said to you before. If things don't work out, come back anytime you want whatever, just ask, even if it's my spot as the boss, I'd..."

"Brother Xiong, I don't lack money right now. Alright, I came tonight just to take advantage of spare time to have a good drink with the brothers. I should, be leaving tomorrow or the day after."

"In such a hurry?" Fei frowned slightly and asked.

"Yeah."

"Then what are we waiting for? Come on, brothers, let's drink up tonight and get this brat drunk for me."

"Ha, brother, bring it on, who's afraid of who, I'll have a drink with you first."

"Alright..."

Time seemingly cannot dilute everything, whether it's brotherhood, family love, or romantic love.

Xiaofan felt like his life had come full circle. Looking back, if one of his past choices had been endurance, maybe things would never have turned out this way.

Of course, after going in a circle, he lost his power, but his alcohol tolerance seemed to get better the more he drank. But no matter how good his tolerance was, Xiaofan couldn't withstand so many people, and eventually, he was laid out?

......................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

When Xiaofan woke up, it was already past nine in the morning the next day.

The room in front of him should be the place he used to rent, where he lived with Shen Zuimo.

"Yo, you're awake?"

"Brother? How come you're here at this time?"........................

"When you left, you asked me to look after this place for you, didn't you? Look, a cleaner comes every week to tidy up. By the way, I haven't deleted any of those Japanese romance movies in your computer."

"Hehe..."

Looking around, Xiaofan's heart felt heavily bittersweet. Memories with Zuimo emerged vividly in his mind..................................

"Idiot... you have to live well in the future."

"Brother, thank you."

"Hey, I always knew there'd be a day you'd come back, why thank me?" Fei smiled faintly, "Come on, want to go grab breakfast?".............................................

"Hm? Sure."

Afterward, the two of them drove around the streets of H City, passing by Seventh Middle School, reminiscing about their old school days full of memories.

"Hey, how are you and your sister-in-law? Every time she comes back, she always dodges answering about you, are you guys having a fight?"....................................

"Hm? No."

"Or are you just being fickle, letting her down?"

"Cough, brother… let me be truthful, actually, I lied initially."

"Hm?"

Xiaofan decided to come clean, after all, it was about time to clarify the matter.

"When I first came to the bar, I met Meng Ying. I wanted you and everyone to do me a favor and not pursue her breaking the wine, so I said she was my girlfriend."

"Ah? She's not? You can't be serious? You rascal..."

"Brother, sorry."

"Forget it, it's not a big deal anyway, but, sister-in-law probably… wait, that night, you two didn't..."

"That night? What?" Xiaofan asked, bewildered.

"Hm? Oh right, anyway you were drunk, never mind, what's past is past, no matter what, you're my brother, that will never change, will it?"

"Of course."

After saying that, Fei stopped the car in front of a small local restaurant nearby.

Now, Fei isn't exactly picky about eating places, but it's still rare to see him in small restaurants, let alone bringing Xiaofan?

"Hey, I'm back with some difficulty, you don't have to be so stingy, do you?"

"Cough, cough, the food here is good, I come here often." Fei's expression changed slightly, then quickly said, "What? Are you looking down on your brother treating you to a meal?"

"Wouldn't dare... wouldn't dare... I was even thinking of hitting you up for a big feast when I got back." Xiaofan laughed playfully.

After sitting down, Xiaofan immediately grabbed the menu to order.

"Hey, hey... wait a minute..." Fei immediately stopped Xiaofan, then furtively used the menu to cover his face.

Seeing this, Xiaofan was startled, what's going on with this Fei?

Just then, Xiaofan turned his head to catch a problem. A woman in her twenties was coming and going, helping to greet customers.
