one

Ye Xiaoling's guarded mentality gradually relaxed under his highly infectious smile, and her taut nerves began to soften.

It is truly unimaginable who the next person to be injured will be

Is she... feeling guilty

Yuan Ye looked at Ye Xiaoling's still flushed eyes, and he suddenly felt a bit at a loss, even unconsciously ignoring the pain in his body

Yuan Ye's expression suddenly turned very unpleasant. He coughed a few times in a low voice, still unable to find a more suitable reason, when he heard a gloating voice coming from not far away, accompanied by a sharp whistle: "It seems that today... I almost missed a good show?"

He seems to be a friend of Yuan Ye... This morning at Qiancheng Shopping Mall, I even saw the two of them "fighting side by side"...

For a moment, Yuan Ye fell once again into a difficult contemplation, his eyelids gradually closing uncontrollably, when suddenly he heard Ye Xiaoling's trembling voice drifting over: "Is it... very painful?"

Due to her overly conspicuous actions, Yuan Ye could not help but prop up his weary eyes and quietly observe once again

However, Yuan Ye beside him retorted with a cold laugh, "You are actually here to watch the show, aren't you, Gu Nan?"

Wallet

It seems that the two of them ... ! ... are truly very good friends!

They are not familiar at all, right? Will there be another opportunity for contact?

A person wandered aimlessly in the alley for half a day, and the unease in Ye Xiaoling's heart grew stronger. Suddenly, her finger accidentally brushed against the furry monster pendant in her pocket

Yuan Ye cast a thoughtful glance at the still smiling Gu Nan, and suddenly, with a hint of understanding, curled his lips slightly, also responding lightly, "There will be opportunities."

Gu Nan merely raised the corners of his eyes more flamboyantly, yet his gaze once again fell upon Ye Xiaoling

Ye Xiaoling jumped up in shock, frantically pulled out her wallet, and then raised her head to look around. Where could she still see the figures of Lu Yan and Ling Zheng?

"In fact, it doesn't hurt that much." To make this lie seem more convincing, Yuan Ye deliberately relaxed his brows and eyes, even his voice became a bit lighter, "I just feel a little tired."

Is this ... ... the end?

So it is all my fault! I misunderstood Yuan Ye!" As soon as she finished speaking, she bowed deeply, her cheeks burning with heat, "I am truly sorry!"

Always in a "state of alert," Ye Xiaoling nimbly sprang up from the ground, while Yuan Ye let out a long sigh, as if he had seen a glimmer of hope from heaven

Could it be that this time the action was truly too severe, leaving her unable to let go even now

Yuan Ye's movements stiffened once again, and he slightly lowered his head, clearly unwilling to respond

This young man

Ye Xiaoling cautiously observed the interaction patterns between Gu Nan and Yuan Ye, and ultimately let out a long sigh of relief

As the instigator who inexplicably injured Yuan Ye, Ye Xiaoling felt it was her responsibility to explain the circumstances of the incident. Therefore, she took a deep breath, gathered her courage, and approached Gu Nan, ... explaining with a look of remorse the "blunder" that had occurred an hour ago ...

Yuan Ye, who has always adhered to the principle of "calm handling" when faced with situations, began to feel disordered and confused, as if there were countless secrets hidden behind Ye Xiaoling, waiting for his approach and exploration, yet... he had no reason to want to understand her at all

Why does its speed still show no sign of slowing down at all

"Are you... are you Yuan Ye's friend?" Finally understanding the situation, Ye Xiaoling stood up straight, feeling somewhat awkward as she nodded at him. "I originally wanted to carry him... no, I meant to take him to the hospital, but he insisted on waiting for you to arrive..."

Ye Xiaoling looked at the pale-faced person in front of her with some confusion. His eyes were not as bright and spirited as usual, and his straight legs were weakly yet casually spread apart, appearing even longer and more upright. His clean and neat black hair had a few strands messily falling on his forehead, occasionally swaying with the breeze.

This beautiful lady, I am well aware of your prowess, so I will surrender first! I mean no harm!" He approached Ye Xiaoling with a grin, "I am this guy's friend, and I heard he was injured, so I came to... take care of him a bit?"

I am sorry, Luyan! Compared to your wallet, the children of the dojo are more important!

This boy named Gu Nan is completely different from Yuan Ye

Thump, thump

Are you tired? Ye Xiaoling's eyes were wide open, resembling two ripe and plump grapes, but I was the one doing all the work just now

A delicate keychain was swung back and forth on a slender index finger, the movement agile and practiced. The collision of the accessory and the keys produced a crisp sound, adding a touch of joy to the quiet alley.

It seems that we should let her emotions stabilize first

What is the matter with this strange girl? She possesses strength akin to that of a Hercules, a doll-like appearance, and an enigmatic array of multiple personalities

The hustle and bustle of the street is still at times distant and at times near, while the secluded alley seems truly isolated from the world, with no other figures in sight except for the two individuals who are quite awkward at this moment.

Looking at the meaningful smiles of the two people in front of her, Ye Xiaoling suddenly had an extremely unsettling premonition. A glimmer of vigilance flashed quickly in her bright eyes again. She wanted to continue questioning, but was interrupted by Gu Nan's smiling voice: "What I mean is... thank you for not leaving him here. I will contact you again to express my gratitude! Now I need to take him to the hospital, so wait for my call!"

Ye Xiaoling could not help but raise her hand, gently pressing it against the place where her heart was beating

When will she be able to change her impulsive character

Tsk!

Reinforcements have finally arrived

Gu Nan wiped away the tears of laughter and hurried over to Yuan Ye's side: "Alright! My esteemed young master! I will help you up now! However... what exactly happened here?"

Recalling the events of the past, Ye Xiaoling waved her hands in a flustered manner and stammered in response: "My name is Ye Xiaoling ... ... "

Before Ye Xiaoling could finish speaking, Gu Nan couldn't help but let out a piercing laugh, and then, without any regard, pointed at Yuan Ye and unleashed a series of questions, each dripping with mockery: "Hug? Take to the hospital? Look who's in this situation now!"

"This is my business card." Gu Nan blinked, smoothly pulling out a business card from his pocket and unceremoniously stuffing it into Ye Xiaoling's hand, "We will have the opportunity to... get in touch in the future, right?"

Ah? Ye Xiaoling held the business card in her hand in confusion, "Contact what?"

"No... rather than saying sorry... hahaha..." Gu Nan had already exaggeratedly laughed while holding his stomach. "You did a great job!" However, he heard Yuan Ye cough a few times in displeasure, and he immediately put away his smile with utmost seriousness, yet he couldn't help but enthusiastically extend his hand, his voice warm like sunshine. "In any case, it's a pleasure to meet you! You were the one who helped us at the mall this morning, right? My name is Gu Nan, and you?"

As the time for class at the dojo approached, Ye Xiaoling felt both angry and helpless, and with a determined grit of her teeth, she resolutely stuffed her wallet back into her pocket again

The empty alley once again left her alone, with only the black mask forgotten in the corner narrating the "fierceness" of the recent battle

Seeing that he had finally finished reporting his location and hung up the phone, Ye Xiaoling quickly sat down opposite him, her nervous hands clasping her knees. The fabric of her pants was pulled into deep creases by her hands, as if it would be torn open by her unusual strength at any moment.

Puff!

A flicker of extreme displeasure flashed in Yuan Ye's eyes, yet he forcibly suppressed it. He simply raised his hand slowly and calmly, his distinctly jointed fingers gently beckoning, his voice deep and elegant: "Do you still wish to continue watching the joke?"

The more difficult the moment, the slower the passage of time seems to be, creating a sense of anxiety and restlessness, as if each day feels like a year.

Having spoken, he raised his hand in a playful gesture as if making a phone call, unceremoniously helped the dust-covered Yuan Ye to his feet, and swiftly disappeared from Ye Xiaoling's sight

Moreover, as soon as he made his entrance, he was pressed to the ground by himself

At the junction of the alley and the street, a light-footed young boy approached, whistling a pleasant tune. His golden hair shone brilliantly in the sunlight, and the almost translucent tips brushed against his vibrant and carefree black eyes. Deep within his gaze, the essence of childlike mischief flickered, as if two playful little demons resided there.
