Chapter 8: Into Long Aotian’s World, Day 8

Chapter 8: Day Eight of Transmigrating into a Long Aotian Story

July, the hottest time of the year.

Cars on the road were like steamers on a fire, so hot it was suffocating.

Du Guyuan asked the driver to turn down the temperature by two degrees, but it did not alleviate his anger.

Not just him; everyone on the street was irritable.

The slightest friction could make them explode.

The car had been going smoothly when it suddenly stopped. Du Guyuan snapped: "What's going on?"

The driver rolled down the window and stuck his head out.

What drifted in through the window was an irritating racket.

"Can you drive or not? Can you drive?"

"If I can't drive, then you can?"

"Didn't you see you cut me off? Are your eyes stuck on your ass?! I almost rammed into you!"

"Bullshit! You were following too close! If your driving sucks, stay off the road! Did you flunk driving school?!"

"You mother—"

"You mother—"

Just as the two middle-aged drivers were red-faced and spitting, on the verge of escalating from a verbal fight to a physical one—

"Um... please don't argue~" A timid, delicate voice, completely out of place in the heated argument, suddenly piped up, inserting itself between the two quarreling men.

"Can't we all just get along?"

Du Guyuan, on the verge of exploding, turned his head as if by magic.

He saw a girl standing in the shade of a tree by the roadside.

She wore a simple white dress, with smooth black hair draped over her shoulders. Her small face was innocent and pure, her eyes dewy like a frightened fawn.

In an instant, Du Guyuan felt a cool wave pour down from the top of his head!

A chill through his heart! Spirits soaring!

His irritation vanished in an instant.

The two arguing middle-aged men noticed a pretty young girl by the roadside trying to persuade them to stop.

They felt a flicker of pity, then blurted out: "Fuck off, mind your own damn business! Go take a hike!"

"Who asked you to stick your nose in our fight?"

The girl flinched at the sudden roar, trembling. Her eyes instantly welled up, and glistening tears threatened to spill over, as if she had suffered a terrible injustice—she was only trying to help!

She had only said a couple of words for everyone's sake, so how could they scold her?

Du Guyuan's aura instantly darkened as he stepped out of the car with an overbearing tyrant's aura.

In the sweltering heat, his presence was chilling.

----------

Top-floor office of An Group.

At this moment, An Yi was reviewing documents in his office, when the commentary voices reached his ears again, drawing his attention.

An Yi: "Confirmed. It seems whenever a plot point occurs, the commentary voices appear."

"But didn't he just leave? What's happening now?"

An Yi listened carefully.

"Curse them! Give it to them!"

"Damn! The arguing drivers actually felt a fierce chill! Is the male lead an icebox?"

"Looks like this is one of the heroines!"

"No doubt about it!"

"Look at the heroine's archetype: a delicate little white flower..."

"Do you even need to guess? With that helpless vibe, it's the classic setup!"

"I bet there's also a smoking-hot secretary!"

......

An Yi rubbed his forehead, thinking about the current plot.

From the comments, it seemed that Du Guyuan was currently performing the "hero saving the damsel" routine, with that destined "little white flower" employee as his target.

An Yi: "Tsk tsk~"

Recalling the setting of this heroine, An Yi couldn't help sighing: "Really a delicate little thing, wholly stained by the mud!"

Just then, Li Xuan pushed the door in to report on work, catching the last three syllables precisely. His professional mask slipped into a worried frown: "Creature? Chairman An, is there... a creature we need to deal with?"

An Yi smiled, enunciating each word: "Not creature. It's a dear lit-tle one~" He drew out the last syllable with a meaningful lilt.

Li Xuan: ......

He felt his brain short-circuit. Was Chairman An losing his mind?

His professionalism as a top assistant made him swallow his doubts and simply deliver the report: "Chairman An, General Zhang has taken care of everything."

"The initial plan for the new quarter's marketing campaign has been finalized. The theme determined by General Zhang is..."

Meanwhile, at Du Guyuan's side.

"Stop!"

Du Guyuan barked: "She's just a pure and kind young girl! What do you think you're playing at?"

The two drivers: ......

"What did we do?"

The two drivers stood there dumbfounded, their faces a perfect 'Who am I? Where am I? What the hell is this idiot saying?'

What did we even do? We were just cursing each other's ancestors up to eighteen generations! Who the fuck was gonna touch that girl on the roadside?!

That young lady, Xia Youyou, saw a handsome man stepping out of a luxury car to stand up for her. She couldn't help but blush, biting her lower lip, shooting Du Guyuan a coy look.

"Ah~" she let out a little gasp, recognizing Du Guyuan as her boss.

Du Guyuan caught this worshipful signal perfectly, his ego inflated to the max. He curled a greasy smile and looked at the two drivers with a righteous expression: "You'll have to go through me!"

"None of you can touch her. If you don't believe me, go ahead and try!"

The two drivers: ...

We weren't even gonna touch her!

The two drivers, who were about to lose their temper, glanced at the car behind Du Guyuan and did the math.

Try it and perish?

Then they looked at the guy—his eyes looked kinda unhinged. Crazy people can beat you and get away with it!

Forget it. If we hit that car, we can't afford to pay for it. Let's get outta here!

The two drivers didn't want to argue with a fool. They rolled their eyes in unison, grumbled curses, and scrambled back into their car. They floored it and sped off, leaving Du Guyuan and Xia Youyou staring deeply into each other's eyes on the main road.

"HONK HONK HONK HONK!!!" The piercing sound of a car horn rang out.

"You gonna move or what?! The hell are you blocking the road for!!" The driver behind couldn't hold back anymore, rolling down the window and shouting.

Du Guyuan: ...

Xia Youyou: ...

"..."

"I totally didn't see this coming..."

"Biting her lower lip? I'm about to puke up last night's dinner!"

"When will these authors change up their descriptions!"

"The male lead is really great—he's brought me so much joy~"

"The author is a real talent. I never expected to get this many surprises in just two chapters."

"The author really gets performance art! Two short chapters crammed with too many tropes!"

"The guy in the car behind is the real gem. I like that guy~"

"I hope the male lead keeps being this crazy—it makes me feel so superior."

"What a fucking idiot!"
