Pei Zhi couldn't accept it for a moment.

It's so unfamiliar, so completely unfamiliar.

"Am I wrong?" Shi Chen glanced at him.

Pei Zhi naturally couldn't say he was wrong, and was speechless for a moment after being confronted like that.

But they couldn't argue back, so they could only silently swallow their pride.

hehe.

Look, this is the real Shi Chen.

He glared at Shi Chen, then picked up the melted ice water on the table and gulped it down.

Pei Xi and Shen Miaoyi were amused by the two of them and burst out laughing when they looked at each other.

The group was laughing and joking around, unaware that a black motorcycle sped past them on the side of the road.

The motorcycle was going very fast, leaving only a blur in the blink of an eye.

Jiang Cheng saw them.

From afar, I could see them sitting under a blue parasol, laughing happily, and I wondered what they were talking about.

As he passed by them, he sped up and flew past them at lightning speed.

This is the world a little princess should live in—sunny, happy, and full of laughter.

Instead of the murky, chaotic quagmire he was in.

Jiang Cheng gripped the handlebars tightly, his back taut even more.

The motorcycle drove into the familiar alleyway of the urban village, its tires running over a puddle of water, splashing up a brownish spray.

Jiang Cheng stopped the car, took off his helmet, and got off.

With his helmet dangling from his hand, Jiang Cheng was about to take a step when he heard a woman's voice from not far away, "Hey, handsome, want to come over and chat?"

A woman with wavy hair was dressed lightly despite the approaching autumn weather, and her eyes gleamed with a seductive charm.

Jiang Cheng looked up, frowned, and then walked away.

Unexpectedly, the woman stepped forward and grabbed the sleeve of his T-shirt.

"Business is tough. If you're willing, I'll give you a 30% discount."

She shook his sleeve, her eyes holding an even deeper meaning.

Jiang Cheng's face instantly turned cold. He took a step back and said in an extremely cold voice, "Stay away from me."

The woman's hand missed its target. Seeing Jiang Cheng's avoidance, she snorted, lowered her voice, and coaxed, "There's no need to pretend in front of me. We all live here, we're all the same kind of people, aren't we?"

To be honest, she had a bit of a desire to conquer.

She had seen the boy several times at the alley entrance, but each time he ignored her and acted extremely serious.

All the men around her had approached her, and she didn't believe he was an exception.

All men in the world are the same.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Cheng's face turned sarcastic, and he looked at the woman with extreme disgust.

"Get out of here."

After saying that, he strode away.

The woman's face stiffened for a moment, but she quickly recovered and revealed a cold smile.

She looked at Jiang Cheng's retreating figure and said, "Oh, I know who you like."

Jiang Cheng paused in his steps.

The woman continued, "I saw the girl who came to your house that day, and I even talked to her. She was like a little princess."

She scoffed, "Would a girl like that like you?"

Jiang Cheng's hand, which was hooked around the helmet, suddenly clenched.

His eyes were icy cold, and his features were tinged with a chilling aura.

A moment later, he continued walking forward without looking back.

Like? He never even dared to hope that he would like such a thing.

Roses should bloom in castles, not in dilapidated urban villages.

Jiang Cheng took out his phone, dialed a number, and said in a very low voice, "I've thought about what you just mentioned, and I'll do it."
