Chapter 337 IF Scenario: Hello, I'm Xiao Mao 2
Xiao Mao was ecstatic, clutching his slingshot with a confident look: "Right? Right?"
Cheng Sangsang and Xu Bai immediately shut up.
He fell into a daze, lost in thought.
Hmm? That seems... to make sense.
Bai Chumeng bit her lip and quickly interjected, "...Sangsang, Xiaobai, don't you want to be friends with me anymore?"
Xiao Mao chimed in, "Of course not, it's just that I'm not going to be your best friend anymore. You can be second best, and I'll be first."
Then, turning to Cheng Sangsang and Xu Bai, he said, "Since you'll all turn into dogs if she becomes any one of your best friends, then I might as well be your best friend instead."
"Because I can have two best friends, then you won't have to fight."
Bai Chumeng: ……
A feeling of grievance welled up in her eyes, and she couldn't help but look at Cheng Sangsang and Xu Bai.
However, the two children were clearly still confused and didn't quite grasp the logic.
Bai Chumeng promptly changed the subject: "Xiao Bai, Sang Sang, I bought tickets for the aquarium. There are great white sharks there, let's go see them together."
They successfully drew the attention of the two people.
Xiao Mao shrugged, not really wanting to go.
Because she always watched the great white sharks from a submarine.
Her parents have taken her and her brothers to see it many times.
Compared to watching Jaws, she prefers archery.
However, her grandmother wouldn't let her play dangerous activities alone, so she gave her a slingshot last week.
Xiao Mao touched her precious slingshot, which perfectly suited her identity as a little secret agent.
Xiao Mao turned to leave, but Bai Chumeng called him back.
She smiled slightly: "Little sister, why don't you come along too?"
Xu Bai suddenly remembered that he had a mission to play with his new friend today, and quickly encouraged her, "Let's do it together!"
Xiao Mao tilted his head: "Do we really have to go?"
Of course!
Why?
Xu Bai panicked: "Because...because..."
His eyes lit up—he understood!
He finally realized what Tu Yao had just said.
"Because we are best friends!"
Cheng Sangsang realized what was happening and immediately became annoyed: "You stinky Xu Bai! Xiao Mao said she can have two best friends, so I'm her best friend too!"
"So you have to include me when you say that!"
Bai Chumeng's heart clenched instantly.
Xiao Mao was delighted.
"Okay, okay, then I officially declare myself your best friend!"
"Let's go see the great white shark!"
Bai Chumeng: ……
In the car, Cheng Sangsang, Xiao Mao, and Xu Bai sat in the back.
Two cars of bodyguards followed behind.
In order to please their newly appointed best friend, Cheng Sangsang and Xu Bai pulled out all the stops.
"Xiao Mao, my family has a huge amusement park. My grandpa built it for my uncle, but he didn't like it, so he gave it to me. After we watch Jaws, I'll take you there!"
Cheng Sangsang retorted, "My family not only has an amusement park, but also a big farm! I told you last time that I'd take Chumeng there when I had time, right, Chumeng!"
Bai Chumeng, sitting in the passenger seat, almost lost her composure, her fingers gripping the seat cushion.
She came from the Bai family, a family that, like the Shen family, was gradually declining. In order not to be eliminated from the family, she went to great lengths to become friends with these two fools.
But unexpectedly, a little girl suddenly appeared and ruined everything!
Cheng Sangsang hasn't taken her to a big farm yet!
Bai Chumeng glanced out the window and suddenly shouted, "Stop the car!"
She turned around and said as gently as possible, "Sangsang, Xiaobai, my grandpa's birthday is coming up soon. Come with me to go find a gift over there."
She pointed outside, where there was an open-air jade street.
"As you know, I'm not well-off, and I'm not good at this kind of thing."
Noble families never limit the cultivation of their younger generation to age, even though Xu Bai is only ten years old and his temperament is not very reliable.
As for Cheng Sangsang, needless to say, she has a good uncle whose family started in the mining industry, and she grew up playing with jade.
Upon hearing this, Cheng Sangsang and Xu Bai immediately snapped out of their daze.
They knew about Bai Chumeng's family situation and her predicament, since Chumeng was being bullied by her brothers the day they met.
They became friends after they acted bravely and righteously.
The two lost interest in arguing and immediately opened the car door.
"Xiao Mao, let's go find a gift for Chu Meng first!"
Then he ran off excitedly.
Bai Chumeng turned her head slightly, her gaze seemingly gentle, yet scrutinizing as she looked at the back seat of the car.
She said, "Little sister, you probably don't know how to find jade, right? Just wait for us in the car, we'll be right back."
Without waiting for Xiao Mao's reply, she quickly got out of the car.
The bodyguards in the two cars behind followed in a separate group.
Soon, only Xiao Mao was left on the bus.
Xiao Mao rested his chin on his hand and swung the slingshot repeatedly.
Turning his head and peering out the car window at the two figures disappearing into the distance, Xiao Mao snorted.
She didn't want to go there.
She likes archery and watching great white sharks, but between jade hunting and watching great white sharks, she still prefers watching great white sharks.
And her older brother doesn't let her run around.
The car was parked on the far side. Xiao Mao took out a handful of small pieces of wood from his pocket, rolled down the car window, and began practicing his slingshot technique on the fallen leaves scattered on the ground.
Every single shot hit!
Little Mao, the archer, snorted again, "I don't want to go there!"
She's so busy, you know. This little agent has to practice her slingshot all the time. She doesn't have time to hunt for jade or make friends...
"Little Mao, Little Mao! Why aren't you here?"
Suddenly, two heads popped out from the car window.
Xiao Mao was taken aback. She looked up and saw that Cheng Sangsang and Xu Bai had run back at some point and were looking at her with a puzzled expression.
Two meters behind, Bai Chumeng's face flushed red and then turned pale, and she remained silent.
"Oh...it's here."
Xiao Mao blinked, put the slingshot back in his pocket, and jumped off the car.
Cheng Sangsang and Xu Bai immediately grabbed one of her arms.
"It's all Xu Bai's fault for running too fast, that's why you didn't follow, right? You scared me to death, I thought you were lost!" Cheng Sangsang immediately complained.
Xu Bai retorted, "It's because you ran too fast! Your legs are longer than mine, so it must be because you were too fast!"
Xiao Mao wanted to laugh, but quickly held it in and nodded haphazardly.
"Yeah yeah."
"Yes, yes."
Cheng Sangsang & Xu Bai: "Hmph, I knew it!"
...
Jade Street is a secluded little street with all sorts of stalls on both sides.
Large boxes filled with jade and antique artifacts can be seen everywhere.
"Sangsang, Xiaobai, I'll have to trouble you today."
Bai Chumeng finally found the right opportunity to intervene.
Cheng Sangsang and Xu Bai snapped out of their daze and simultaneously slapped their foreheads, realizing they had almost forgotten that they needed to help Chu Meng find jade!
Before the two could ask, Xiao Mao waved his hand generously: "You guys go ahead and shop around, I don't know anything about this."
Cheng Sangsang nodded: "Okay then, wait for us."
Bai Chumeng's smile completely crumbled. What kind of magic did this girl possess that allowed her to take her place so soon after arriving today?
Xiao Mao stepped back and gave up his seat.
She really didn't know anything about jade. Her grandmother and mother said that children should just have fun, and some things can be learned when they grow up.
However, she made a decision: she wouldn't study it even when she grew up.
Xiao Mao played with the small wooden blocks in his pocket.
While playing, Xiao Mao's ears suddenly twitched as he heard a fighting sound coming from afar.
She instinctively turned her head and saw a group of muscular men running towards her from another intersection.
Each of them had blue dragons and white tigers tattooed on their bodies and held a large knife, making them look particularly fierce and menacing.
Xiao Mao's eyes widened, but before he could take a second look, the bodyguards had already surrounded them.
The captain, looking grim, quickly made a call: "It's those people from Qinghe Lane. There are too many of them. Take the young master and the others away first."
Jade Street is located by the sea, and there is a remote seaport nearby. The port city's maritime policies are not perfect, and smuggling has been rampant in recent years. This port is a loophole in the supervision.
Qinghe Lane has formed its own faction, which has been scrambling for goods at various ports all year round, and today they have come here to scramble for goods.
The burly men fought their way through the crowd, and screams erupted from the throng.
Xiao Mao had never seen anything like this before. She clutched her rapidly beating heart, extremely nervous.
Looking back, Xu Bai and Cheng Sangsang were even more nervous than she was, stammering, "Ahhhhh, so scary!!!"
Xiao Mao: ……
Xiao Mao quickly grabbed one in each hand, yelling, "Aaaaaaah, run!"
Bai Chumeng was pale and remained motionless as the bodyguards dragged her over.
A line of well-trained bodyguards separated the crowd, giving the four running children a little space.
But the crowd kept surging in, coming from all directions.
As she ran, Bai Chumeng stepped on a wooden plank and fell out of the crowd!
A riot broke out among the crowd, which quickly filled the street. Under the constant and surging external force, the bodyguards were successively separated from the crowd!
Xiao Mao never let go of Cheng Sangsang and Xu Bai's hands, squeezing through the gaps in the crowd and running around.
There were too many people. Everyone was pushing and shoving, and the three children were quickly pushed to the side of the wall.
Xiao Mao felt that if they kept pushing, they would definitely be squashed flat!
I subconsciously looked up and saw a stack of large boxes containing antique jade and other precious stones on a raised shelf by the wall. The shelf was suspended in the air, with intersecting steel bars.
Without hesitation, Xiao Mao grabbed Cheng Sangsang and Xu Bai's hands and crawled into the overpass.
The stacks of boxes blocked their way.
...
The crowd was still screaming and running forward, more and more people rushed over, some were knocked down, some were trampled, and cries mingled with the sounds of their cries...
Cheng Sangsang and Xu Bai clung tightly to Xiao Mao, tears streaming down their faces.
I wish I hadn't come out today.
I should have known better than to listen to Chu Meng; I shouldn't have gone jade hunting...
First dream...
Cheng Sangsang and Xu Bai suddenly shuddered.
What about your first dream?
"...Don't arrest me! Don't arrest me!"
The crowd gradually dispersed, and the surroundings returned to silence. But just then, a familiar voice rang out!
Cheng Sangsang and Xu Bai snapped out of their daze and exchanged a glance.
It was my first dream!
Bai Chumeng never expected that just a second ago she was feeling fortunate that she had fallen out of the crowd and found a perfect hiding spot.
But the next second, she bumped into a group of burly men carrying knives.
This group of people seemed to be fighting over a batch of goods, and in the process, they started fighting.
Then I saw her hiding behind the door.
The moment the knife tip was pointed at her, Bai Chumeng cried out in terror, "Don't kill me! The young master of the Xu family is over there!"
"And Cheng Sangsang! Go and catch them!"
"You're just after money, aren't you? If you arrest them, you can ask the Xu and Cheng families for money!"
...
Behind the wooden box, Cheng Sangsang sat on the ground, eyes wide and bewildered.
Xu Bai was also stunned.
Xiao Mao frowned and snorted!
