In fact, Yao i had killed several powerful skill users who tried to invade China’s security in the past... So what difference did it make whether to take her with him or not? It was just that such a thought was slightly painful for him.
After all, she was at an age when she should be smiling, chatting about fashion, makeup, and handso idols with her friends. However, the life Yao i was living was completely opposite.
Although Yao i did not seem to be affected in the slightest at present, this was probably because she had at so point beco sowhat accustod to the fact that she was not a normal person. Still, Xie Feng knew that acceptance and adaptation was completely different from being comfortable with sothing. Even if she had accepted those deaths and even if she had accepted that in the future there would probably be more, that did not change the actual facts.
Yao i was a 15-year-old girl.
However, just as Xie Feng was about to vehently refuse again, Yao i interrupted him as if she knew what he was going to say, "I won’t do anything... I just want to go and see, that’s all."
"Oh?" Xie Feng couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow sowhat surprised. He smiled slightly and looked her up and down before saying in a mocking tone, "Little Princess Yao, you seem to be slowly getting used to talking more and more with ?"
Yao i was slightly dumbfounded when she heard Xie Feng’s words. Apparently, even she had not noticed. However, Xie Feng was still not finished.
"In one day you’ve pretty much opened up to ." He couldn’t help but want to tease her a little as he saw her slightly immature and beautiful face flashing with surprise. "Could it be that you really fell in love with ?"
Yao i stared at him for several seconds without answering. Then, she said sothing that surprised Xie Feng greatly, "I don’t know what it’s like to be in love with soone."
The corner of Xie Feng’s mouth twitched several tis when he heard her. In the end, he sighed and continued walking towards the exit as he said, "Girl, you really need to work more on your sense of humor. But it’s okay, we’ll help you... Rember what you said. You can’t hurt anyone, let alone kill anyone. Otherwise I won’t talk to you anymore."
Yao i looked at his back for a brief mont as if thinking about sothing before nodding and following him.
The two were greeted by the security guards of the villa complex and continued walking off into the distance.
"Young master Xie really is sothing else..." One of the security guards couldn’t help but chuckle as he watched the duo’s backs slowly disappear. "Two beauties in his house and now even another millionaire beauty who just moved in today looks like she’ll soon fall for his charms."
Another security guard who had just started working a few days ago was surprised and quickly asked, "Huh? Wait a second! Aren’t Xie Feng and Xie Yao from villa number 9 siblings!?"
Another security guard who knew the whole story patted his right shoulder lightly as he patiently explained, "Not really. Although according to the law they are siblings due to sharing the sa family na, they are actually not related by blood in any way. Young master Xie was adopted by the Xie family when he was still young due to young miss Xie’s strong insistence to her parents."
The security guard who had spoken first patted the new guard’s left shoulder and pointed out, "So, even if they want to get married it’s okay. He just needs to change his family registration and that’s it, the law won’t present them with any problems."
"Nooo! My goddess is already in love with soone else!" The new security guard roared at the top of his lungs, scaring his two co-workers.
The two veteran security guards looked at each other with helpless smiles before bursting out laughing.
This wasn’t the first ti sothing like this had happened anyway. After all, Xie Yao was simply too beautiful and charming. There had already been several other employees who quietly fell in love with her in the past. Many even changed jobs because they couldn’t stand it anymore.
...
...
Xie Feng and Yao i walked through the streets of Shanghai shoulder to shoulder in silence. Neither of them said anything for several minutes and just walked like that.
Although winter had passed by the end of February and spring had arrived in March, the weather was still quite cold; after all, although spring had already begun about half a month ago, the after-effects of winter were still lingering strongly. However, the temperatures were much more manageable, sotis reaching a high of 13-15 degrees Celsius.
At night it was actually quite cold. But there were still many people out on the streets; mostly students who wanted to enjoy the nightlife.
Many couples also ca out of their hos to eat in restaurants or at small roadside stalls selling all kinds of hot delicacies.
Xie Feng stopped at just such a stall and said calmly, "Boss! Give four kebabs please."
A middle-aged man wearing a white apron and gloves replied with a smile, "Coming imdiately!"
Only a few minutes later, the middle-aged man returned with four kebabs filled to the brim with at. He looked at Xie Feng and then glanced at Yao i, who was standing next to him silently. The rchant couldn’t help but speak with a friendly smile, "Here you have young man, it’s 40 RMB!"
Xie Feng took out a fifty coin and handed it to the seller.
"Boss, keep the rest."
The middle-aged man smiled slightly and accepted the exchange silently before comnting, "Thank you, young man. By the way, you two make a nice couple!"
Xie Feng handed two kebabs to Yao i and shrugged as he said, "She’s not my girlfriend though. Just a friend."
"Hahaha... It’s okay, I understand, I understand! A friend~" The middle-aged man burst out laughing as he gave Xie Feng a smile that every man could understand.
’What an interesting person...’Xie Feng couldn’t help but laugh as well at the man’s attitude. He shook his head and without saying anything else, he walked away.
Yao i followed him. After a mont’s hesitation, she asked, "What is love?"
Xie Feng glanced at her out of the corner of his eye before turning his gaze forward and asking, "Why do you ask that?"
"...A lot of girls in college were talking about love... Besides... It seems like everyone is cheerful when they’re in love." She answered a little hesitantly.
"Mm..." Xie Feng thought for a mont before carefully answering, "I don’t think love has a 100% correct definition. After all, feelings depend on each person. But from my point of view, love is a double-edged sword."
Yao i looked at him clearly confused and surprised, "A double-edged sword?" She asked a new question.
"Yes. A double-edged sword." Xie Feng nodded and explained, "If you are reciprocated, then you will be happy. But if the person you love turns out to love soone else, then you will probably suffer a lot... But, being in love is a good feeling. By falling in love you can experience things that you normally wouldn’t experience, you beco more careful, and you also beco much more joyful. But there’s sothing you mustn’t confuse."
She looked at him waiting patiently.
"Many people confuse love with other feelings. For example, loving soone and liking soone are two completely different feelings... When you like soone, you like the way they look, the way they dress, their car, their money, and so on... However, when you see that person’s defects, little by little that feeling of liking will slowly but surely start to vanish... On the other hand, when you love soone, sothing like this does not happen. Even when that person’s appearance is a ss because of an illness or sothing similar, you still continue to love them. When that person is poorly dressed inside the ho, you still continue to love them. Even if that person is broke, you still love him or her... Basically, that’s love from my personal point of view. But each person might have different thoughts."
Yao i lowered her head and a thoughtful look flashed in her eyes. Seeing this, Xie Feng said nothing more and let her ponder by herself in silence.
The whirr of several police cars could be heard from the distance, attracting the attention of many night walkers. Occasionally one or two police cars would pass through the streets at full speed, as if they were in a hurry to get sowhere specific.
Xie Feng observed everything with indifference and turned a corner that was much darker than the rest of the street. Here there were no people in sight temporarily.
"Follow ." Xie Feng broke the silence and after catching the attention of the beauty beside him shot upwards at full speed.
Yao i didn’t say a word as she also jumped onto the roof of a building several stories high. She slowly approached the edge and stood next to Xie Feng, watching the city below her feet in silence, enjoying the cold wind that hit much more frequently due to the height.
Xie Feng jumped up again, followed by Yao i.
The two continued to jump from rooftop to rooftop, from building to building. Due to the night sky, thanks to the height, and as a result of the fast speed at which they were moving, none of the citizens could see even a shadow of them as in several breaths they had completely disappeared.
