"oh?"

Xiao Yihan suddenly looked over, her beautiful eyes narrowing slightly, as if she had heard something very interesting.

Xia Che couldn't understand that look in his eyes.

"What's wrong?"

Xia Che felt a little uneasy being stared at.

"So you were childhood sweethearts?"

In an instant, Xiao Yihan understood why the little girl had seemed so bothered by her wanting to talk to Xia Che alone.

Is it because they're afraid of losing what they cherish...?

Xiao Yihan smiled knowingly.

But that smile vanished in an instant.

Childhood sweethearts are wonderful, and no matter how much Xia Che is cherished by the other party, he doesn't care about these reasons.

She also likes Xia Che.

Therefore, no matter how high-sounding the other party's reasons may be, Xiao Yihan will never give up.

"Silly sister, happiness isn't something you can get by being modest. It's a war without gunpowder and bloodshed, you have to fight for it..."

Xiao Yihan's eyes showed no emotion, but her gaze toward Xia Che became even more intense.

For no apparent reason, Xia Che swallowed hard.

Damn it...

It's been a few days, and Xiao Yihan seems to have become somewhat dangerous.

It felt like I had become a mouse, being targeted as prey by Xiao Yihan, the cat.

"We weren't exactly childhood sweethearts. We lost contact a long time ago and only recently got back in touch."

Xia Che scratched his face.

The phrase "childhood sweethearts" is incredibly appealing to a hardcore anime otaku like me.

He didn't really want to stage an accident.

"I see..."

With a gentle smile, Xiao Yihan suddenly took a step forward. The two of them were already standing very close, and now that Xiao Yihan had taken another step closer, Xia Che couldn't dodge in time, and the two of them were almost touching.

Almost instantly, Xia Che suddenly felt the temperature around him drop even colder.

Moreover, I could vaguely sense a pair of red laser-like eyes looking over from a police car not far away.

The car is almost on fire...

"W-what's wrong?"

Xia Che didn't understand what had happened, but his heart instinctively tightened.

"That was pretty close, wasn't it?"

Xiao Yihan did not answer Xia Che directly. Instead, she raised her hand and placed it on Xia Che's chest, gently smoothing out the wrinkles on his collar. "I'm sorry, I'm too late."

Her tone was soft, and at this moment, she sounded like a true older sister, her voice filled with gentle self-reproach.

Xia Che: ? ? ?

What on earth is this woman up to?

Is this your public persona?

It's collapsed!

"If you encounter this problem again, be sure to call me. Don't you have my number?"

Xiao Yihan breathed softly, and the warmth of her breath felt like an electric current, making every hair on Xia Che's body stand on end.

He stiffly lowered his head, wanting to ask Xiao Yihan what she was up to, but when he saw her charming eyes filled with reproach, the words he was about to ask suddenly wouldn't come out.

“It happened so suddenly, otherwise I would have called the police even if I hadn’t called you.”

Xia Che changed his words, forcing a smile, but in his heart he was already having second thoughts.

For some reason, he felt that the atmosphere was strange.

Xiao Yihan is up to no good. This woman is already charming, and now she's putting on an intellectual and gentle act, which is really hard to handle...

"That's true, the Brazilian gang is indeed very dangerous. If it weren't for that New Yorker's act of kindness, things would have been really dangerous today..."

Mentioning this, a hint of lingering fear appeared in Xiao Yihan's eyes, and the gentle aura that had once terrified Xia Che dissipated considerably.

"Yes, he has always been this brave."

Xia Che said earnestly, making no attempt to hide his praise for Baron.

This person is incredibly reliable; he traveled all the way from overseas, even crossing half of Earth, just to come to Jiang City and take the blame for me.

"You too, I've noticed that no matter where you go, you always run into some strange troubles. You need to be more careful in the future, because you won't always have good luck."

After the initial shock subsided, Xiao Yihan gently punched Xia Che's chest with her fist. Although this action, which resembled a lover's coquettish gesture, lowered the temperature in the room even further, the concern in Xiao Yihan's eyes was genuine: "Take care of yourself, no matter who it's for, okay?"

"I will."

It was rare for Xia Che to be so serious; one shouldn't be serious with someone who genuinely cares about their safety.

I believe you.

Xiao Yihan smiled sweetly. Although this place was not suitable for flirting, which prevented her from carrying out her restless thoughts, she was initially a little disappointed. However, when she saw Xia Che earnestly assuring her, joy returned to her mind.

"If you're really tired, you can do the statement in the car for a while, and I'll take you home when you're done."

Upon hearing this, Xia Che was taken aback. So this woman had already noticed that he was very tired?

when?

"No need... I can go back after I finish what I'm doing."

Xia Che shrugged; he was already used to being tired.

Since his soul transmigrated into this world, Xia Che thought back carefully and realized that the only time he was truly happy was when he skipped class every day to go online right after he entered.

Then I just kept getting tired, tired, tired, tired.

He moves between various female leads, never having a moment's rest.

“Let’s do it in the car. The mastermind behind this is a Brazilian gang. You’ve just been dragged into it. There’s no point in going through those tedious procedures. It’s settled.”

Xiao Yihan genuinely felt sorry for Xia Che.

The hint of fatigue in the other person's eyes couldn't be faked.

Only when you're exhausted to the extreme will this undisguised fatigue show. Xiao Yihan's work is also very busy every day, so she is very sensitive to this.

"All right."

Xia Che shrugged and didn't refuse again.

It's just taking a statement; it doesn't matter where it's done. Since it's fine to do it in the car, Xia Che won't insist any further.

"Who is this woman? Who exactly is she?"

"Why are you smiling at this woman? Why are you letting her touch you? Are you two very close?"

"You can only look at me. You can only focus your attention on me. Your world is enough with me. Why look at others? That kind of gaze is only for me!"

Neither of the two people chatting noticed that the drop in temperature they felt was actually coming from the police car behind them.

Qing Ning gritted her teeth, pressed her face against the car window, and stared intently at the two people chatting and laughing.

Her sweet and lovely features were now twisted into a mess, shrouded in shadow, with only one bright red eye radiating flames visible.

Her whispered words were like the incantations of an ancient tribe; with each utterance, the surrounding temperature dropped a notch.

"Is this person a demon...?"

Barron hid in the back seat, trembling with fear, his head in his hands.
