Chapter 263
He stared at her, seemingly curious about what she would say.
"Sister, I won't let him call the police!" Xiao Bai kept babbling on and on, but soon he stared blankly at them.
Jiang You tiptoed and, in Qu Xing's dilated pupils, kissed his pink lips.
Her first thought after being pulled away by the screaming Xiaobai was that his tongue still had an undigested sweetness on it, so he must be someone who loves sweets.
Su Qingbai stood between the two, looking at her petrified, dead childhood friend, then at her fearless sister, as if she had aged ten years. She pursed her lips and said, "Sister, didn't we agree not to kiss people casually?"
She thought she had a deadpan expression, but actually had a smug and arrogant look on her face, and said something incredibly shameless: "Seduce him, that way he won't call the police!"
Seemingly noticing the worry in his eyes, she patted his shoulder, put her hands behind her back, and looked into the distance with a leader's air: "Don't worry, Xiaobai, I know what I'm doing."
There are so many ghosts out there!!! Who gave you the confidence that a kiss could solve the problem? Fish Leong?
Su Qingbai really wanted to scream, but then she looked at Qu Xing with a sense of foreboding.
Sure enough, Qu Xing snapped out of her shock at her sister's actions and, upon hearing her sister's self-righteous and shameless statement, her forehead creased with anger: "What are you talking about?!"
Sweating profusely, Su Qingbai grabbed her friend's hand, which was trying to grab her sister's: "Calm down, Xing-ge, calm down. Your sister has been pitiful enough. We should be more understanding of her."
Qu Xing, who had been sexually harassed, met Xiao Bai's pleading gaze and took a deep breath, silently repeating, "Don't argue with girls, don't argue with girls, don't argue with girls... especially since she's a sick girl."
Seeing that he had calmed down, Xiaobai breathed a sigh of relief. Jiang You then blurted out something nonsensical yet very confident: "Xiaobai, don't worry about him. He's already fallen for me, he won't do anything to me."
Qu Xing let out a scoff without any expression: "I'd like to see what I'll do to you."
noob:"!!!"
He stopped Qu Xing from trying to lock his sister's neck, and then covered her mouth when she tried to speak, running around in a panic.
"Enough!" he actually shouted.
Seeing that there were already quite a few onlookers, he said wearily, "Let's go inside and talk."
******
A small wooden table separated Jiang You and Qu Xing, with Su Qingbai sitting in the middle.
They talked harmoniously for two hours, mainly Su Qingbai and Qu Xing, while Jiang You ate snacks on the side.
Finally, after two and a half hours, Qu Xing agreed not to call the police, but on the condition that he knew some things about Jiangyou.
Jiang You concealed his abilities and told some things in a way that was half true and half false.
After hearing this, Xiao Bai's ever-smiling face fell, and he unconsciously clenched his fist and slammed it on the table: "That's just too much!"
Unhappy at not having caused any trouble, he looked at her with teary eyes and assured her, "Sister, don't be afraid, we will protect you!"
Qu Xing glanced at Xiao Bai; he had only promised not to call the police, not to protect his sister.
He looked at the woman named Jiang You.
Noticing his gaze, she popped a snack into her mouth and tilted her head to look at him.
He pursed his lips awkwardly, recalling that fleeting kiss, lightly scratched his cheek with his index finger, and looked away to the left, avoiding her gaze.
...but ultimately did not refute Xiaobai's words.
Suddenly remembering something, he said, "No wonder my sister looked familiar. After hearing what she said, I realized that her photo had been featured in international news before."
Upon hearing this, Jiang You abruptly stopped chewing potato chips, as if he had been paused, his entire being clearly frozen in place.
Xiao Bai, standing next to her, was even more anxious than she was, raising her voice slightly: "What?! Where is this news from? I didn't see it!"
“I usually like to browse news from all over the world, and I just happened to come across this,” Qu Xing said, taking out her phone and quickly swiping her fingers across the screen, her eyes never leaving it as she spoke. “I remember it was something like a missing person notice. Let me look for it… Ah, I found it.”
Xiao Bai snatched the phone, saw her photos and messages, and angrily said, "This is outrageous! What do you mean by 'the helicopter malfunctioned and crashed into the sea, so he's offering a large reward to find his fiancée'?!"
Jiang You was not unexpected; it would have been unexpected if he hadn't sought her out.
She leaned closer to see the comments section below. Someone commented: I am your long-lost brother/sister. Someone else commented: I am Jiang You, but I was seriously injured, had plastic surgery, and changed my gender.
But most people commented: If it can't be found, it must have died in the sea; if no body was found, it must have been eaten by fish. Some people also commented to advise Theodore: "Come to reality sooner rather than later."
Seeing this, she sat back down in her original seat, with nothing to linger about except for her parents and grandmother.
Whenever I think of my parents, my heart aches with pain and I feel guilty.
She was an only child in the family, and in that era of male preference, they didn't give her away but instead supported her through university.
If she weren't worried that Xia Yan and Song Yun would find her through the internet, she would have used her parents' phone numbers to search their WeChat Moments and see how they were doing lately.
Jiang You slowed down her eating of potato chips and noticed that the person opposite her was looking at her.
He tilted his head, holding up the bag of potato chips: "Do you want some?"
