Chapter 01

He Xi led the black monkey to take notes. When the woman whose bag was snatched confirmed that the hundred-yuan bill taken from the young man's pocket was not her money, He Xi wished she could find a crack in the ground to hide in. She whispered, "This doesn't count as counter-robbery, does it?"

The young man, gasping for breath and in pain, pleaded repeatedly: "Sister, spare my life, sister, show mercy..."

"To hell with your pension!" Before the words had left his mouth, the enraged He Xi suddenly lifted his leg and executed a swift flying kick, so fast that the men sitting in the car watching the commotion did not even have time to react

The black monkey, upon hearing the sound, shook off its previous lethargy and stood alertly beside He Xi, its small eyes vigilantly fixed ahead, its entire body on guard

Indeed, Father He undoubtedly possesses the qualities that attract. However, what truly draws one in is not a face that will age, but the mountain-like paternal love that He Heng bestows upon He Xi. In order to provide the best care for his daughter, he fulfills both the roles of father and mother, remaining steadfast in his decision not to remarry. Even until He Xi reaches adulthood, He Heng remains single.

Li Xing hurried to the headquarters for a meeting, his strong sense of time causing his driving speed to be much faster than usual. Just then, his phone rang. Skillfully handling the steering wheel with one hand, he put on his headphones without reducing speed. Little did he know, as he just uttered a greeting, a figure suddenly dashed out from the intersection ahead. Surprise ignited in the indifferent, cold starry eyes. Li Xing abruptly turned the steering wheel, and immediately, the tires emitted a sharp screech as they gripped the road, coming to a halt just ten centimeters away from the person's body.

Little He Xi is like a sticky toffee, especially attached to her handsome cousin. Whenever she sees him, the little girl always joyfully wobbles her chubby little body over, calling out in a sweet voice: "Brother." Then she stretches out her chubby little arms, smiling adorably.

He Xi was feeling invigorated from the training when he suddenly heard a cry from behind, filled with a sobbing tone: "Robbery! Catch the thief..."

Twisting the young man's wrist, He Xi scolded: "Stop trying to get close to me, who is your elder sister?"

Fortunately, the separation of the parents did not cast a shadow over He Xi's heart. In the face of his mother's departure, little He Xi did not cry; he merely curled up in He Hang's arms, pouting and saying with a sense of grievance: "Dad, is it because I fought with my friends that made Mom angry and she left? If not, um, let the friends hit me, then maybe Mom won't leave, right?"

He Xi's face had already turned red, and in an attempt to mask his embarrassment, he pretended to be relaxed and said, "If you want to laugh, just laugh. If you hold it in, I can't take responsibility for that."

In fact, there is a reason why the boy's affection for his cousin surpasses that for his own sister. When He Xi was five years old, He Heng divorced his wife. This means that He Xi is a child from a single-parent family

Seeing Xiao Hexi's pitiful appearance, He Hang felt extremely distressed. He gently kissed his daughter's tender face and softly reassured her, "Of course not. Mommy is leaving because of issues between her and Daddy. When Xiao Qi grows up, she will understand."

He Xi is still young, and naturally cannot comprehend such a profound matter as divorce. After some thought, he said in a somewhat adult-like manner: "Well then, I will just wait until I grow up to understand it."

The black monkey tilted its head and barked "Woof Woof" twice, as if in agreement with its owner

Thus, at the age of five, He Xi began her days living with her father. As she grew older, when someone asked her why she liked He Hang so much, she replied in a carefree tone: "It's just the attraction between the opposite sexes."

At such times, the possessive little He Xi would pout her lips, wrap her arms tightly around her cousin's neck, and lean close to his ear to murmur: "Look at her, look at her, she's the most boring one."

He He hesitated for a moment and then tentatively asked: "In the future, Xiao Qi will live with Dad, and Mom will only come to see you occasionally, is that okay?"

Then, Li Xing, who was hurrying up the stairs, stumbled on the steps

The young man became anxious and shouted repeatedly, "That money is mine, that money is mine..."

Suddenly realizing that Li Xing was emanating a chilling ferocity, complex emotions surged in his pitch-black eyes, He Xi shouted indiscriminately: "Obstructing the police in the execution of their duties, I will handcuff you!"

Li Xing stared at her for a few seconds and coldly uttered three words: "Compensation!"

He Xi is a sturdy girl who is as tough as a boy. Since childhood, she has not been fond of crying. In the words of her grandfather, He Zhengsong, "She crawled out of her mother's womb without making a sound."

At that time, the boy already had a younger sister. Under the "pressure" from his parents, his ability to coax children was not only superb but also effortless. Each time, he could make little He Xi giggle, which caused another girl to feel wronged and go to Uncle He Hang to complain, blaming He Xi for taking away her brother

While He Xi was busy at the police station, a man from the division arrived at the headquarters. He Hongxun, the deputy commander of the 532nd Regiment, said to the regimental chief of staff beside him: "That girl just now is my cousin."

Perhaps due to excessive shock, He Xi was momentarily taken aback, staring at the imposing man before him, frozen in place like a statue

The conflict with the strict enforcement delayed some time, and He Xi ran two streets before finding the black monkey

The police officer struggled to suppress his laughter and teased, "Sister, given your enthusiasm, you certainly have the potential to turn the tables on a robbery."

"Not learning well!" After giving the black monkey a light pat on the head as a punishment, He Xi put a collar around its neck and forcefully led it out the door with half a bag of dog food, which was her most treasured item.

In an instant, her thoughts whirled in a hundred directions. The explosive He Xi threw the dog food she was still holding in her hand into the air like a fairy scattering flowers, and then shouted at the onlookers who had gathered to watch the commotion: "What are you looking at? Have you never seen a fight before?" She then turned and ran away

He Xi did not originally intend to hit him, but upon hearing those words, he rushed over and kicked him in the ribs. After the young man fell to the ground, still seething with anger, he pressed his right leg on the back of the other person and, with a right chokehold, forcefully lifted that guy's head. His tone suddenly turned harsh: "Who are you calling a beast? Try saying it again!"

A brief confrontation of gazes caused a slight ripple in He Xi's emotions, and she asked irritably, "What surplus value?"

Seeing her injured as if she had been hit by a car, after a moment of silence, tension and concern surged in his deep eyes. He grasped her wrist and asked, "What happened, where are you hurt? Let's go to the hospital..." However, his hand was forcefully shaken off by He Xi, who had regained her clarity.

I see, "He Xi furrowed her small brows, scratching her cheek as if weighing something, and finally said somewhat reluctantly: "Alright then."

"Look at you, what a disgrace!" He Xi slightly pulled on the neck strap with some force and admonished, "As a dog, it is not right for you to treat your master this way..."

What is going on! The man in the passenger seat has a slight headache and is about to speak when Li Xing, who jumped into the car, firmly and unequivocally rejected him word by word: "No - agreement!" Then, under He Xi's fiery gaze, he started the car and drove away.

Following the source of the sound, He Xi saw a young man with a hairstyle resembling corn silk, clutching a black women's handbag, running across the road, while a woman was chasing after him.

The man dozing off in the passenger seat was startled awake. When he recognized that the girl who had suddenly appeared was He Xi, Li Xing had already nimbly jumped out of the car. Anger compelled him to exert some force when he slammed the car door, producing a loud bang that instinctively made him frown.

He Xi, in a fit of anger, noticed who was sitting in the car and, slightly losing control, rushed over and shouted at the open car window: "I am requisitioning your vehicle!"

Indeed, Hei Houzi is a milk-white Labrador retriever raised by He Xi. Because its owner does not allow it to date the dog next door, it is currently sulking. Hei Houzi has quite a temper and has been indifferent throughout the journey, looking dejected, which has inadvertently caused He Xi to consume a considerable amount of its dog food in a display of indignation.

He Xi is the youngest among the same generation of the He family, commonly referred to as the little rascal. With a sweet tongue, he is deeply favored by the elders, and can be said to be a little princess raised in a密罐.

What are you doing, rebelling? It's not that dating is not allowed, but there should be standards for choosing a wife, right? It's just that you are not allowed to date, is it really that serious? Hey, getting angry now, huh? If you don't behave, I will hit you, I really will...

He Xi dashed forward like an arrow, quickly catching up with the black monkey.

He Xi's subordinate showed no mercy as he snatched the bag from the young man's hand and handed it to the out-of-breath woman who had caught up. Just as he was saying, "Check if anything is missing?" he caught a glimpse of a hundred-yuan note peeking out from the young man's pocket.

At this moment, the police who received the emergency call arrived and shouted, "Is this yours? Just wait until you get into the station, and let's see how tough you are then!" After saying this, he handcuffed the young man and shouted again, "This is yours!"

In He Xi's heart, her father is the best man in the world. As for her mother, He Xi has never blamed her. As she grew up, she gradually understood that even though her parents had separated, they would always love her the most.

The gaze, exuding an air of danger, fixed upon He Xi's exquisitely ageless face, while the stern countenance radiated an imposing aura. In a deep and resonant voice, he reprimanded, "Shouldn't you explain to me what this is all about? Are you playing with your life? If you're in a hurry, use a means of transportation; why resort to a foot race?"

He Xi did not shout any nonsense like "stop"; he simply tapped the black monkey's head quickly and pointed at the young man's back, commanding, "Go!" Before the words had left his mouth, the black monkey darted out with a whoosh.

"Do you still dare to be dishonest?" He Xi said as he took the money from the young man's pocket and handed it to the woman.

Look at this child! Just a palm-sized little one already knows about the attraction between the opposite sexes

Li Xing reacted swiftly, stepping back half a step and sidestepping to avoid the attack. The offensive failed, and He Xi once again executed a steady kick, feeling the powerful leg brush past her forehead with a whoosh. Li Xing's gaze suddenly turned cold. However, he did not strike back; instead, he quickly raised his hand to firmly grasp her ankle, the force so great that it forced He Xi to take a step back, her back pressing against the imposing hood of a military off-road vehicle.

The strict enforcement of rapid convergence revealed too much emotion, and in a low voice warned: "Do not try to be a hero with me. If I hadn't managed to stop in time and collided with you just now, apart from creating some surplus value for others, you would be nothing!"

The trained Labrador was naturally not something the young man could escape from. By the time He Xi caught up, he was being bitten on the arm by the black monkey and was unable to break free, shouting: "Let go of me, you dead dog, beast..."

After graduating from university, He Xi stayed in City A for work. In order to provide his daughter with an independent living space, He Hang financed the purchase of a three-bedroom apartment for her, claiming it was a dowry he was preparing for her. Thus, every weekend, He Xi would take her "spoiled" black monkey to He Hang's place for dinner. However, today, the black monkey refused to go out.

A flash of anger instantly appeared on her porcelain-like fair face. He Xi raised her eyes to look at him, her gaze solidifying into a line in the air. She coldly retorted, "My life is my own; it has nothing to do with you! I warn you not to obstruct me from capturing anyone"

He Xixu chattered for a long time, but the black monkey didn't even lift its eyelids, simply lying by her bedside and ignoring her

It can be seen that, for He Xi, tears are the most unfamiliar thing. However, there is an old saying that women are made of water, so for women, tears are actually a form of emotional expression, and often, they are simply unavoidable

He Xi was born on China's Valentine's Day, the seventh day of the seventh lunar month, which is why her father, He Hang, gave her the nickname: Little Seven

With narrowed eyes, the cold gaze fixed on He Xi's face: "If you have the ability, send me to a military court!" After saying this, he released her ankle and "lifted" the tall yet slender He Xi onto the sidewalk, shouting: "Get on with whatever you need to do!"
