Xia Che let out a long sigh, feeling a gloomy atmosphere hanging over his heart.
But he didn't know the specific reason.
But his subconscious told him that the truth wasn't necessarily good news.
"Okay... let's not talk about this anymore. By the way, do you remember the games we used to play when we were kids?"
Qing Ning didn't want to dwell on the topic any longer. After thinking for a moment, she suddenly smiled again, as if she had just remembered something.
What game?
Xia Che didn't react for a moment.
"It's that game where 'the strong humiliate the weak.' I was young then, and I could never build a sandcastle as fast as you, so you would knock down my sandcastle, and I could only watch helplessly from the sidelines."
Bringing up the old story again, Qing Ning's eyes narrowed slightly, and her smile became even more dangerous: "Feeling accomplished, huh? Being able to bully me like this..."
"No way! I was just a kid and didn't know any better. You know, kids are such little brats, what do they know at such a young age?"
Xia Che's cold sweat, which had just subsided, was about to return.
This is going to be a disaster...
How could Qingning still remember something so ancient?
You can't be that vengeful, can you...?
Xia Che subconsciously felt that Qing Ning must have no good intentions in bringing up the past.
"Don't worry, I won't bother you today, but... would you like to play this game again?"
Qing Ning smiled gently, then glanced mysteriously behind her, her expression meaningful.
"It's not fun, it doesn't sound interesting, I don't want to play."
Xia Che shook his head vigorously.
The original owner had completely forgotten the promise Qing Ning made, but this was the one thing he remembered very clearly.
At that time, Qing Ning would most likely have been brought to tears by the original owner's bizarre game.
While crying, she continued to build sandcastles, unwilling to accept defeat and wanting to get her revenge. But she met the same fate: the original owner kicked over the sandcastle she had worked so hard to build.
This behavior...
That's really beastly.
"What? I'm not playing with you. Don't worry, I've already forgotten about it. I won't hold a grudge."
Qing Ning smiled with her eyes narrowed. Her already sweet appearance was enhanced by her cloyingly sweet smile, which made Xia Che shiver involuntarily.
Since that's the case, then this person...
She really hasn't forgotten anything, has she?
Xia Che didn't even believe Qing Ning's claim that she had forgotten, not even the punctuation marks.
But if they won't play with me... it seems they won't use me as a guinea pig for experiments today. Thinking of this, Xia Che paused and tentatively asked, "Then who should I play with? Should we play together? There's no sand here to build sandcastles."
“Let’s do something different. When the strong want to humiliate the weak, they don’t always have to build sandcastles. There are plenty of other ways to play.”
Qing Ning spoke mysteriously, turning her head to look behind her. This time, it wasn't just a glance; her beautiful eyes were fixed on a certain spot behind her, the corners of her mouth slightly upturned, and her eyes sparkling with an excitement that Xia Che couldn't understand.
It's like...
The cat saw the mouse.
For no apparent reason, Xia Che suddenly felt that someone was about to be in big trouble.
Following Qing Ning's gaze, although she didn't know who the other person was, it seemed she wouldn't be able to leave without being skinned alive today.
Only now did Xia Che realize that the two of them had somehow walked out of the pedestrian street area and were now in an empty street.
The noise of passersby had long since disappeared, leaving only silence.
Xia Che tried hard to find the person Qing Ning was staring at, but even when he widened his eyes to the limit, he couldn't see anything strange behind him.
"Something's not right... There's nobody here. Who are you talking about? Are there other people following us?"
Xia Che scratched the back of his head, completely bewildered.
He can't see anyone either.
"I don't know him. He's a golden-haired rat who's been following us ever since we came out. We just dealt with the Xing family, and now someone else is following us. Do you believe this is a coincidence?"
Qing Ning first shook her head, then slightly parted her cherry lips and asked in return.
I don't believe it.
Xia Che shook his head. "But they probably aren't from the Xing family. They just bowed their heads and then stubbornly followed us again... Isn't that obviously trying to offend you to death? Xing Zhicheng isn't that stupid, and anyone who works for him wouldn't be that stupid either."
“If we really have someone behind us, I don’t think it has anything to do with the Xing family.”
Xia Che stroked his chin. Although he couldn't see anyone, he believed Qing Ning since she had said it so confidently.
Excluding the Xing family from suspicion, under the current circumstances, who else might be interested in the two of them...?
This is probably rare even in the entire Jiang City, right?
Could it be Li Junyang?
Xia Che subconsciously thought of the scumbag who was the most deeply hidden in this book.
No, no...
Xia Che shook his head again, dismantling his own guesses.
Qing Ning clearly stated that it was a golden-haired mouse. Xia Che, knowing the other's verbal tic, tentatively asked, "Is it a foreigner?"
"Hmm, you really do understand me."
Qing Ning nodded in agreement, then turned to Xia Che and said, "You just stand here and don't move. We'll find out who he is once I bring him here."
Without hesitation, Qing Ning took light steps, her figure as elusive as a ghost, and in the blink of an eye, she had already rushed over.
Their gazes were too direct; the other party must have already realized he had been exposed. The reason they didn't run away immediately was because they hadn't found the right opportunity.
Having decided to play the game of "the strong humiliating the weak," Qing Ning, who was already in a bad mood after Xia Che mentioned the purpose of returning to China, decided to vent her anger on this golden-haired rat.
"Wow, that's really fast... Is there really no such thing as superpowers or advanced martial arts in this world?"
Xia Che clicked his tongue inwardly, and then a strange feeling welled up in his heart.
Why does it always seem like none of the beautiful girls he knows are simple characters?
They all seem to possess unique skills, and even in terms of performance, they are not much weaker than those with superpowers, right?
This level of combat power...
There are quite a few of them, so many extraordinary people...
It's actually appearing in a romance comic!
Isn't that a bit too ridiculous?
Xia Che shook his head, suppressing the strange thought, and then saw that in such a short time, Qing Ning had already leisurely carried a tall, strong man back from a distance.
The man was very tall, at least 1.9 meters, and his full head of blond hair indicated that he was not Chinese.
Logically speaking, someone with this height should at least be able to outshine Qing Ning, who is only about 1.6 meters tall.
But Qingning grabbed him by the collar, his face turning red, and he had no ability to resist at all.
