Ruan Jiu felt as if she had been punched in the stomach, and now she was almost unable to breathe.
Good grief, don't other people say that brothers are like limbs and women are like clothes?
The young girl hadn't even said anything, and you've already gone to such lengths...
Okay, okay, he understands. From now on, if he tries to lay a hand on someone he shouldn't, he'll teach it a lesson himself...
Only after his eyes conveyed this meaning did Shi Lingheng release his grip on his arm.
Meanwhile, Fan Xiaofan, watching from the sidelines, was filled with excitement. Just imagine, a live kung fu performance unfolding right before your eyes—wouldn't you be thrilled and excited?
All that's missing is waving flags and shouting slogans.
After it was over, Shi Lingheng and Ruan Jiu exchanged glances. She shamelessly thought that it was worth the risk to come see the show, and today's scare was worth the price of admission.
Shi Lingheng stood up and reached out to straighten his clothes. But when he looked up, he saw a set of table and chairs, along with some melon seeds, peanuts, and tea, placed under the tree...
The girl, who looked like a lucky cat, had eyes that sparkled like stars, and her cheeks were flushed with excitement...
His lips twitched, and his gaze fell on the bald boy, who looked completely innocent: "You told me to keep an eye on Fan Xiaofan and not let her leave the tree, but you didn't say I couldn't grant her any other requests..."
Shi Lingheng rubbed his temples weakly. So, he was helping this girl get revenge, while she was just watching the show from the sidelines?
He gritted his teeth and looked at Fan Xiaofan: "Are the melon seeds and peanuts tasty?"
Fan Xiaofan subconsciously loosened his grip on the melon seeds, chuckled sheepishly, and said, "Um, they're pretty good. Where did you buy them? I'll buy some some another day..."
On the other side, Ruan Jiu, who had been rubbing her stomach and barely managing to stand, couldn't help but laugh at the scene, which made her stomach hurt even more...
Shi Lingheng coldly turned his head and glanced at him. Hmph, serves him right.
He strode over to the tree and sat down, raising an eyebrow. Fan Xiaofan clapped his little paws, fawned over him, poured him a cup of tea, and said with utmost sincerity, "This melon seed tea is truly excellent; it's addictive..."
Ruan Jiu, having gone inside for a while, came over and sat down, pushing a box-like object towards Fan Xiaofan: "I forgot for a moment that you don't know kung fu. We've gotten used to this, and it scared you. I apologize. This is an apology gift; it's nothing special. You can keep it and play with it..."
His nonchalant attitude suggested that he didn't care much about what he gave away, as if it were just a casual item.
Fan Xiaofan was stunned for a moment. Actually, she was really angry just now, but after watching a performance that was worth the price of admission, she felt that if there was a next time, she would still be unable to control her legs.
As Ruan Jiu said, Ruan Jiu and Shi Lingheng were used to this kind of interaction. He didn't even greet her when he arrived today. Ruan Jiu wasn't deliberately targeting her, and now he's apologizing to her so solemnly...
That was the end of it.
To continue being so aggressive is truly mindless.
But to everyone's surprise, when it was opened, it turned out to be a small, golden yellow croaker.
She subconsciously glanced up at Shi Lingheng, who nodded, indicating that she could accept it: "Gold in troubled times, antiques in prosperous times. Keep it, it's not worth much..."
Ruan Jiu waved her hand: "It's just a little gadget, something to calm your nerves."
Fan Xiaofan was thinking to herself, should she roar like a dragon, "Am I someone who can be bought with money? I don't want your filthy money! What else can you do besides try to get rid of people with money?"
