"I was wondering why you added railings to your window. So you knew about it."

Xia Xiang stood up and exclaimed in surprise. She had felt something was off when they came up, and now she realized that the scoundrel was trying to protect himself from her.

“I have surveillance cameras in my room,” Rex said directly. “The way you’re eating like this is being recorded in detail.”

"Are you the pervert or am I? Who installed surveillance cameras in their room?" Xia Xiang lay down again nonchalantly and took out another bag of potato chips.

"Stop eating!" Rex's forehead veins bulged as he forced out the words through clenched teeth, trying to stop him.

But Xia Xiang wasn't a child who would obediently listen, and continued to clack and clack.

Rex felt helpless: I'm so angry!

"Don't bottle things up all the time, just let it out," Xia Xiang advised when she saw him trembling with anger. "Like me, I can go crazy anytime, anywhere, but I never let myself get hurt."

Rex thought Xia Xiang was going to comfort him and was quite disdainful, but he didn't expect that her next sentence would make him want to kill her on the spot.

"Pretending must be exhausting. I hope you can be an incredibly cool and handsome guy in class, maybe then you won't have to suffer so much having a crush on Wang Da Dong. Good luck, I believe in you!"

But honestly, Rex is so incredibly handsome, he's totally my type. If it weren't for... never mind...

Three-legged toads are hard to find, but handsome men are plentiful, and she's still young...

Rex: "Get out!"

When dealing with people like Xia Xiang, you can't just weigh the pros and cons; sometimes you have to strike hard!

"I'm just treating you the way you treat me, can't you stand it?" Xia Xiang came to collect a debt, so she was even more ruthless in her words.

Having achieved her goal, she didn't intend to stay any longer and got up to walk towards the balcony.

"Wait!" Rex called after her, "Go out the front door!"

Xia Xiang stretched and reached out to pull the curtains. "It's faster to jump off the balcony."

Rex: You're a madman!

"Wait a minute," Rex called out again, grabbing Xia Xiang's hand as she drew the curtains.

"What now? You can't bear to part with me?" Xia Xiang smiled maliciously, looking at Rex like a scoundrel looking at a beautiful girl.

He held his hand with his other hand.

Rex let her pull him along and asked, "Are you trying to provoke me like this because you don't care about your brother's life or death?"

"If I didn't provoke you, would you let him go?" Xia Xiang asked, tilting her head.

Rex thought for a moment, "Do you want me to let him go? Letting him go isn't impossible, but I'll start with Ding Xiaoyu then."

"Whatever," Xia Xiang said indifferently.

"Do whatever you want. They have their own experiences to go through. Your targeting may not necessarily be a bad thing for them."

"There's just one thing: if you mess with them, you can't mess with me, okay? You know my emotions aren't as stable as theirs."

"It's best if you don't interfere," Rex said with a regretful smile.

"Poor King Arthur, having such a cold and heartless sister is truly pitiful. I feel a little sorry for him."

"No need, please don't give me face," Xia Xiang said quickly, then let go of Rex's hand, pulled back the curtains and jumped down.

Rex teleported to the window on the balcony, but Xia Xiang had already vanished without a trace.

After enjoying the cool breeze for a short while, I immediately closed the curtains tightly until not a single ray of light could see through.

Rex's tone was icy, a flash of green light appearing in his eyes. "Those who mess with me, do you think they'll have a good end? Naive!"

——

the next day

Wang Arthur spent the whole day observing Rex, even though he was completely different from KO.2 who had asked him out that day. Moreover, when Wang Arthur answered the phone that day, Rex was talking to Wang Dadong and the others, so it was impossible for them to call him at the same time.

But he had a warrior's intuition that Rex was inextricably linked to KO.2 and the Black Cat Hotel.

So much so that after school, he even took Xia Xiang and Ding Xiaoyu to keep watch near the Black Cat Hotel.

Wang Yase sat in the driver's seat, Ding Xiaoyu in the passenger seat, and Xia Xiang had the entire back seat to herself.

"Xia Xiang, if you're going to eat, then eat. But don't leave any potato chip crumbs in my car, or you won't be able to eat junk food for a week." Wang Yase was already annoyed by being watched, and Xia Xiang kept eating.

"Do you have any lime-flavored ones? I suddenly want some." Ding Xiaoyu turned to ask Xia Xiang, then said to Wang Yase, "It's kind of fun to keep watch on the street while eating potato chips, isn't it?"

Seeing Xia Xiang staring blankly at him without moving, Ding Xiaoyu continued to ask, "Nothing?"

"Yes!" Xia Xiang snapped out of her daze, took out various flavors of potato chips from her small bag, and handed them to Ding Xiaoyu and Wang Yase.

Then I opened two bottles of soda for them.

"Brother, I don't think you need to be this nervous," Xia Xiang said nonchalantly. "If Rex really has a problem, he'll come to you on his own without you having to do anything."

"Xiangxiang, you also think there's something wrong with Rex, right?" Wang Arthur turned his head and asked expectantly.

"I mean, if," Xia Xiang's eyes darted away, "we don't have any evidence."

“Yes, that’s why we’re staking out this place. He’ll slip up eventually,” Wang Arthur said stubbornly, with an expression that suggested he was the only one who was truly aware of the situation.

"Are you ready?" Xia Xiang asked.

"What do I need to prepare?" Wang Yase asked, puzzled.

"Of course we need to prepare tools for staking out, like a voice recorder, camera, video camera, etc. It would be best to have the professional equipment that paparazzi use to photograph celebrities." Xia Xiang said as she rummaged through her bag and took out the corresponding items, placing them in Wang Yase's arms.

“If you don’t have evidence, no one will believe you. You know perfectly well that Wang Dadong has been bewitched by that vixen Rex, and all the classmates are under her control. No one will believe what you say.”

Wang Yase and Ding Xiaoyu were utterly dumbfounded when they saw what Xia Xiang had taken out.

Wang Yase: "Isn't it heavy carrying so much stuff in your bag? And how do you have so much stuff?"

Ding Xiaoyu: "Do you have any strange hobbies?"

"I'm not a paparazzi, I'm just an electronics enthusiast," Xia Xiang said speechlessly.

"Alright, I'm leaving." Xia Xiang said, packing her things, intending to abandon her teammates.

"Where to?" Wang Yase asked.

"Oh, I signed up for a bamboo flute class. It's time for class now. I'm off." Xia Xiang got out of the car briskly and said goodbye.

Wang Yase: "Xia Xiang, aren't you going to take care of your brother?!"

"We'll deal with it tomorrow," Xia Xiang replied without turning her head, but she did give him face.
