Xia Che carefully recalled what he had said, and his doubts deepened.
He didn't say anything wrong, did he?
Why is this woman's focus so strange?
It's all over...
It seems I guessed wrong about what made Qingning angry. According to the first law of women, what's more terrifying than an angry woman is trying to appease her without considering the underlying reasons...
If the previous lime was an enraged dinosaur, then the current lime is a vengeful ghost a thousand times more terrifying than a dinosaur.
"I did not mean that……"
Xia Che forced a smile and tried to reason with the angry woman.
Although this approach might not work on other women, Qing Ning is quite clever; she's no ordinary woman.
so……
They should be able to listen to reason, right?
For some reason, Xia Che felt uneasy and uncertain.
"So what do you mean?"
"It's just... I just can't remember. Those things happened too early, including this incident and everything from my childhood. I don't remember a lot of things. I think there must be something wrong with my memory... or maybe I just have a late memory, which makes sense, right?"
Who cares if your argument makes sense?
"Then... what should be in charge of?"
"I don't know."
Qing Ning shrugged, her slightly pouting cherry lips glowing with an alluring pink luster in the moonlight. "You're the one who did something wrong, and you're the one who needs to beg for my forgiveness. Has no one ever told you that when you're trying to appease an angry woman, you shouldn't question her?"
"Have you ever been in a relationship? You don't even know this?"
Qing Ning's big eyes darted around, and she subtly probed the situation.
She had been away from China for too long. During this time, without her by his side, Xia Che might have encountered other women. Given Xia Che's qualities... it shouldn't be too difficult for him to have a few relationships.
After all, the decline of the Xia family was a recent accident and had nothing to do with anything before.
As the former eldest son of the Xia family, shouldn't finding a partner be like choosing a concubine?
Qing Ning felt a pang of jealousy.
"No, I've never even talked to anyone. Nobody's interested in me."
Xia Che shook his head decisively and answered honestly.
That's the truth.
Although he met many beautiful girls after his soul transmigrated into this world, Xia Che was indeed ignored by everyone before the transmigration.
He's just a shut-in who likes reading comics and playing games. While he's not as annoying as Men-chan, he's definitely someone nobody pays attention to.
Xia Che had also longed for love. During the period when his love-struck brain was at its worst, he had an AI called Doubao and had an online romance with it for a while, simply because the system voice was female.
But Xia Che kept this embarrassing past to himself and never mentioned it to anyone.
"real?"
Qing Ning raised an eyebrow suspiciously, automatically ignoring the second half of her sentence.
Is nobody interested...?
Then what is she?
That despicable guy.
"Really? The Assassin's Guild is very powerful, right? They can check my past at will. I've never been in a relationship, so you want me to charm girls... I really have no experience."
Xia Che spread his hands, speaking these words with a clear conscience.
According to the original owner's memories, he did have suitors, but he was completely uninterested in these women who came to him.
He only cares about his sister, even though what she does is hurtful.
Second only to Xia Yuxin is the lime in front of me.
The two women held a very high position in the original owner's heart; they were practically inseparable.
Even though Qing Ning went abroad when she was very young, it could not shake her position in the original body.
That's why Xia Che found it strange.
Logically speaking, given the original owner's deep impression of Qing Ning, she shouldn't have forgotten the "promise from childhood" that Qing Ning mentioned.
This is too contradictory.
But the original owner's concern for Qing Ning was genuine...
I can't figure it out, I really can't figure it out.
"Hmph... There's no need to waste the Assassin's Hall's resources. We Assassin's Hall are very busy. To take out precious resources just to investigate your past? That's too wasteful."
Qing Ning was skeptical, but based on her understanding of Xia Che, she knew he wouldn't lie about something like this.
Since you said no, then you really haven't talked about it.
Thinking of this, Qing Ning's mood improved for no reason, and her gaze towards Xia Che softened considerably, no longer as confrontational as before.
This guy...
She was quite well-behaved after I left.
But that alone isn't enough to calm you down.
Forgetting such an important promise is outrageous!
"Okay, that's true."
Xia Che remained noncommittal to Qing Ning's words, then cautiously glanced at her and asked, "So... are you calmed down now?"
"Not at all, I'm even angrier now."
Qing Ning answered seriously, her pretty face tense up. Although she was very cute, it made Xia Che freeze again.
ah?
I'm still not satisfied...
Did they even get angrier?
no……
Why is that?
Xia Che resisted the urge to ask questions; he hadn't forgotten that he shouldn't question an angry woman.
It's just that it's too much of an internal injury; Xia Che's lungs are aching from holding it in...
“I won’t get over it until you really remember that promise. Well… but I can give you a chance. We can still get along like before, but we’ll make up only when you really remember it.”
Qing Ning waved her hand, turned around and walked towards the back, "That's all for now, I'm going for a walk."
"...Alright, since you put it that way."
Xia Che touched his nose; it seemed there was no better way now.
"Then I'll go home first..."
Before Xia Che could finish speaking, he saw Qing Ning's gaze, as if she were looking at an idiot. "Go home? It's so late. As a boy, going home alone? Don't you know how dangerous that is?"
"Come walk with me, just you and me."
Qing Ning turned around, her tone indifferent, but her cheeks unconsciously flushed slightly.
She hasn't had a chance to properly explore Jiang City since returning to China this time.
Even though it's the place where she grew up, Qingning felt that something was missing if she walked around alone.
It's different when Xia Che is with me.
Um……
The meanings are different.
"It's dangerous for a boy to walk home alone? What kind of nonsense is that..."
Xia Che scratched his head, completely bewildered.
It seems like every word Qingning speaks is a Chinese character, but when they're put together, they become incomprehensible.
But seeing that Qing Ning was willing to go shopping with him, Xia Che thought that this might be a good opportunity to break the ice with her, so he followed her.
"Your friends are still in the apartment. Are you sure you don't want to go back?"
"Don't worry about it, don't worry about it. They'll go back on their own when they get tired of playing."
"Really...?"
"Of course it's true."
