The Urban Dao Child

Yang Dao sent off Feng Yun and came down to the house. He walked around a little to familiarize himself with the place. He found that the books he had taken from the library today were all placed on a table beside his bed. He walked over and picked up the book on the top. He started reading the book while standing. As he immersed himself in the content of the book he started pacing slowly in the room. This was his habit. Whenever he would study, he would pace around. Time flew by unknowingly and Yang Dao finished the whole book in just one night. Yang Dao was an entity blessed by the heavens so the rate at which he absorbed things was terrifying.

Yang Dao was now aware of the reason behind his skills and talent but he did not bother with it. He was not a conceited person. He also knew that there is always someone stronger and better than you out there. This was the reason he kept working hard and was never arrogant about his ranks and grades. Yang Dao saw the sun rising up from the window and he put down the book and entered the washroom to freshen up. This was his lifestyle. Ever since he was young, the energy in his body was abundant and he wasn’t easily tired and could state awake for 72 hours continuously.

After washing up he draped himself in a towel and came to the cloakroom. As he watched the options in front of him, he sighed and muttered, “Now I understand the struggles rich people have. Sister Yun gave me too much.” He looked through the vast variety of clothes in front of him and finally picked up a relatively simple black zipper hoodie, white sports shirt, paired with black jeans and white sports shoes. He was about to enter the kitchen when the doorbell rang.

Yang Dao came to the door and opened it. He saw Luna standing in front of him with a smile. She spoke in a polite tone, “Sir, President Feng has sent arranged for your meals with us and a bicycle has also been delivered for you. I took the courtesy to bring the box up here. Is that okay?”

Luna stretched out her hand and showed Yang Dao a neat and elegant meal box. The boy accepted the box and said, “Would you like to come inside and eat? I also have something’s to ask you about this place.”

Luna’s little heart fluttered when she heard this. Last night was enough surprising for her and now this. She was a person who has been working long enough to calm down quickly. Yang Dao led her to the living room and said, “Please be seated. I will be back shortly. What do you like? Tea, Coffee, or fruit juice?”

Luna shook her head and replied, “I just had my breakfast sir. Thank you for the invitation.”

Yang Dao only asked her so that he doesn’t look rude or impolite. He took the meal box inside the kitchen to inbox the meal on a plate. The breakfast was very lavish. The dishes in the plate contained, saffron honey congee, shredded chicken and egg scramble, a big glass of fresh mixed fruit juice. It looked heavy but the meal followed the idea of ‘breakfast is the most important meal’. Yang Dao was a foodie and he was very happy with this meal. The sweet aroma of the dishes had him under his control as soon as he opened the box. If not for the sophistication inside him. He would have devoured it then and there.

He placed the congee bowl and the scramble play on a big tray alongwith the glass of juice and took it to the living room and placed it on the table. He sat down on the couch and spoke to Luna, “Miss Luna, I wanted to ask if is there a gym in the housing complex?”

Luna replied attentively, “Yes sir, we have a gym inside the housing complex. The gym staff is all professionally trained people. The service quality is guaranteed.” ρꪖꪕᦔꪖꪕꪫꪣꫀ​ꪶ​

Yang Dao nodded and said, “Can I have a contact number? I would like to arrange for a slot for myself. Also, do you know the fee?” he said as he ate the scramble.

Luna smiled and said, “Sir, all the consumption has already been paid, you do not have to worry about the fee. You just need to call them over before you go there.”

Yang Dao shook his head. He knew that it was Feng Yun who paid it all. After he finsihed the meal he stood up with a satisfied smile on his face. He took the dishes to the kitchen and folded his sleeves and then washed the dishes. Luna was surprised to see this behaviour. She did not expect a rich scion to do all these things by himself.

Yang Dao was oblivious to her thoughts and cleaned up the dishes and placed them to dry. He came out of the kitchen and said, “Can you take me to the bicycle? I need to leave for my college.”

Luna nodded and stood up from the sofa. Yang Dao only took his wallet from the bedroom and they both came towards the elevator together. Yang Dao stood beside Luna as she pressed the descend button. The elevator vibrated slightly and then the number on the information panel changed. Soon in a minute they came to the under ground parking level two. This whole parking level was the garage for the house in which Yang Dao lived. But at this moment their was just one wooden box placed in this place. This ‘garage’ was so big that 30 cars could be parked here with ease.

Yang Dao neglected all the things and came to the box with Luna and the beautiful OL introduced the bike to him.

“Sir, this bike is called ‘Silence’, it is designed by Markus Hanabi, the world renowned automobile designer. The special feature of the bike is the complete silence and extreme comfort. The whole body is made of carbonium fiber and titaniron webbing. The bike is very light and can tolerate a heavy assault of a military tank. The color is black. It comes with a 40 gear combination and there are only 2 pieces in the world. One is owned by the designer himself. There is also a matching helmet and glove kit placed inside the box.” Luna took a deep breath after the introduction. She spoke non-stop for this presentation.

Yang Dao pulled a lever attached to the box and the box opened. The whole box was filled with styrofoam beans to provide cushioning. The bike itself was tied to the base. Yang Dao liked the bike at first glance. The main body of the bike was not smooth but patterned. The pattern was designed very meticulously and did not hinder the performance in any way but enhanced its charm. Yang Dao did not spend much time on appreciating the lines and the curves and picked up the helmet and gloves. He wanted to ride it as soon as possible.

After gearing up he asked Luna for the direction of the college and left the underground parking. Luna stood behind and muttered, “I wonder how much sensation this bike will cause today. 2 billion for a bike. Poverty limits my world view.”
