"You, you should head ho soon, be careful or your parents might co down looking for you. It will worry them if you get ho late."
Xu Jing suddenly brought up Jiang Man, cooling down Zhang Xiaoshan’s agitation slightly.
Jiang Man hadn’t even figured out how to deal with the situation herself. If sothing indecent happened with Xu Jing, it would only complicate matters further.
"What are you afraid of, am I going to eat you?"
"We’re already under my house, could I still get lost? Don’t change the subject. I’m asking you a question, who is prettier, or Vice Chairman Jiang?"
Xu Jing relentlessly grilled Zhang Xiaoshan.
Zhang Xiaoshan was sowhat speechless.
"Your question is really boring. They’re different styles, what’s there to compare?"
"Are you going ho or not? If you don’t leave, I will."
"Wait, then, tell , is Vice Chairman Jiang really your cousin?"
Xu Jing grasped Zhang Xiaoshan’s arm and wouldn’t let go.
Zhang Xiaoshan was a bit stupefied.
"Xu Jing, what’s with you? I just helped you, and now you’re interrogating my privacy. Besides, whatever relation I have with Vice Chairman Jiang, it’s none of your concern."
"Hmph, stingy! Fine, keep it to yourself then, I didn’t want to know anyway."
Xu Jing released Zhang Xiaoshan, her eyes carrying a hint of resentfulness.
She thought, why can’t this damn guy be more charming? Am I not obviously just jealous?
You could at least humor a bit.
Stupid man, big lout, utterly clueless.
"Forget it, I won’t hold this against you."
Xu Jing consoled herself before speaking to Zhang Xiaoshan.
"Anyway, I had a great ti today, I really appreciate it."
"I’ll keep your kindness in mind and will definitely repay you if I get the chance?"
Zhang Xiaoshan smiled and spoke thoughtfully.
"Why talk about repaynt? That’s too polite. Everything I did was obligatory after all. Considering you ca to teach in poor and harsh White Dragon Village, you’re the true benefactor, and if thanks are due, they’re from to you."
"Pssh."
Just then, Xu Jing’s mood flipped again.
She pouted and spoke gloomily.
"So, you protected and stood up for today, even threatened Wang Bing not to bother , just to thank ?"
"Is that all?"
Fuck!
A million damns raced through Zhang Xiaoshan’s mind.
Communicating with won is truly exhausting.
Every step is a trap.
He’s no fool, and quickly changed his approach as he spoke.
"You’re talking nonsense. Of course, personal feelings are involved. You’re kind, beautiful, generous, gentle, and brave—the perfect woman. I couldn’t stand seeing you bullied, especially not by the likes of Luo Bing, the spoiled scion."
"You’re exaggerating, am I that good?"
Upon hearing this, Xu Jing’s eyes imdiately brightened. She lowered her head, fiddled with her dress’s hem, appearing bashful though inwardly delighted.
It seed she still had a good standing in Zhang Xiaoshan’s heart.
Under the moonlight, Xu Jing posed in such a bashful stance, truly a sight to behold.
"Mr. Xu, you should go back now, it’s getting late, and Baldy Liu is still waiting for to rescue him."
Zhang Xiaoshan urged Xu Jing to leave again, jokingly, as continuing like this might lead them into so actual mischief.
"Alright, then I’m heading back; you take care too."
Xu Jing’s eyes lingered on Zhang Xiaoshan, filled with affection as she reluctantly walked into the pitch-dark alley behind her.
Zhang Xiaoshan breathed a sigh of relief, glad that he had finally sent her away.
If the lingering had continued, he would have struggled to restrain himself.
"Ah."
"Help..."
Zhang Xiaoshan was prepared to leave, but just then, Xu Jing’s shrill cry for help echoed from the alley.
"Don’t be afraid."
Zhang Xiaoshan was shocked and rushed into the alley.
"Huh?"
But as soon as he entered, Zhang Xiaoshan was stunned.
Where is she?
The alley was completely empty, not a shadow of a bandit, not even a ghost. Had Xu Jing vanished into thin air?
"Who?"
Suddenly, Zhang Xiaoshan sensed sothing odd and instinctively twisted around, throwing a punch as he did.
In that mont of turning, he finally saw clearly.
It was Xu Jing, hidden around the corner at the entrance of the alley, now lunging toward him with all her might.
Damn!
Quickly trying to pull back his punch,
however, the punch still had so residual force as it landed on Xu Jing’s shoulder.
The force was minor and wouldn’t hurt Xu Jing, but it was enough to knock her delicately balanced body backwards.
"Ah."
Zhang Xiaoshan turned his punch into a grip, catching Xu Jing’s shoulder.
Xu Jing, instinctively, raised her arms and clung to Zhang Xiaoshan’s neck.
Caught off guard, Zhang Xiaoshan also lost his balance.
The two intertwined and kept stepping back,
until they crashed into the corner of the wall.
"Are you okay?"
Zhang Xiaoshan anxiously looked down at Xu Jing, whom he held in his arms and pressed against the wall,
while Xu Jing was also looking up at him.
The ssy, heated breaths fell upon Zhang Xiaoshan’s face, causing every bone in his body to go soft instantly.
