Upon hearing the last sentence, Chen Xiao's heart suddenly stirred! At this moment, chaos erupted in the arena, and the henchmen brought by Young Master Ma finally reacted, rushing forward while shouting "Boss!"
Chen Xiao, however, claimed to be in a panic and left, chasing after him through the main gate.
Xiao Qing had already walked out of the gymnasium corridor and headed towards the academy's square. Chen Xiao followed behind, feeling somewhat puzzled, but unsure how to approach her to ask.
This girl's skills are unbelievable! Could she be the martial arts master that Young Master Xu mentioned teaching him?
Of course, that's one aspect. Another reason that made Chen Xiao unable to resist following this girl was: Phoenix!
Although it's a bit embarrassing to say this, after meeting that mysterious and stunningly beautiful girl named Phoenix yesterday, Chen Xiao, like most teenage boys, fell into an inescapable reverie—and there's nothing shameful about it.
The two walked for a while, one after the other. Chen Xiao followed behind, carefully observing Xiao Qing's walking posture. Every step she took seemed to be on soft clouds, as if she was about to fly away. Her figure was extremely graceful. The way she walked was like dancing (don't get the wrong idea).
One walked ahead, the other followed, until they entered the school's underground parking lot. After turning a corner, next to a car, Xiao Qing, who was in front, took out her car keys and held them in her hand. Finally, she turned around and looked at Chen Xiao with calm eyes. Chen Xiao immediately stopped and couldn't help but awkwardly touch her nose.
"Have you followed me enough?" Xiao Qing's voice was calm, not cold, but there was an indescribable indifference in it.
Chapter Thirty-Two: Break His Legs
Chen Xiao thought for a moment, after all, he was the one following her, and gave a wry smile: "I'm sorry. But I didn't mean any harm... It's just that you look too much like a girl I know."
Xiao Qing looked into Chen Xiao's eyes, and her gaze seemed to reveal that she wasn't angry. After a few seconds of silence, she nodded and said, "Hmm, the same old trick again." She looked at Chen Xiao and asked, "Are you going to tell me now that the girl you mentioned named Phoenix is someone you really like? Is this how all the boys here pursue girls?"
"Uh...no." Chen Xiao smiled somewhat awkwardly, "Actually, I've only met her once. I was just a little curious about her."
"Oh, is that so?" Xiao Qing nodded, her eyes calm and composed. "Is this how you always pursue girls?"
"I...I didn't mean that." Chen Xiao touched his nose again and sighed, "Sigh, I know you don't believe me. But even if you're not Phoenix, I'm sure you have some kind of relationship with her. You two are so alike!"
Xiao Qing casually raised her hand to tuck a stray strand of hair that had been ruffled by the wind behind her forehead, and her gaze towards Chen Xiao softened a bit: "Alright, I'll tell you again, I'm not that phoenix you're talking about. I've never heard of that name before."
She paused for a moment, then seemed to smile slightly: "I'm also very curious, is there another girl in this world who looks just like me? If you have the chance, please bring her to see me."
Seeing that Xiao Qing was about to leave, Chen Xiao couldn't help but ask, "Excuse me, you... um, the kid surnamed Xu you just mentioned, is it Xu Yifan?"
Xiao Qing frowned: "How did you know?"
Chen Xiao smiled, raised his hand, and pointed to the car next to Xiao Qing—the BMW Z8 sports car that Xu Ershao usually drove.
“Xu Yifan is my good friend. He drove a Volvo today, saying he lent it to one of his kung fu teachers.” Chen Xiao smiled. “Your kung fu is so good, and you just happened to be driving Xu Yifan’s car—I just didn’t expect you to be a student at our school. I’ve never seen you before, nor have I ever heard of you. You must be new here?”
She must be new here. If there were such a stunning beauty at Kidd School, her fame would probably have spread far and wide by now!
"Yes, I just arrived yesterday and completed the temporary enrollment procedures this morning." Xiao Qing looked at Chen Xiao, her attitude becoming slightly more amiable: "Are you his good friend? Then can you tell me something?"
"Uh...what?" Chen Xiao's heart skipped a beat—could this girl have something going on with Xu Yifan...?
"The Xu family and my family have some old acquaintances, and I was only giving him pointers out of respect for the Xu family. Originally, I was unwilling to do such a pointless thing. But when I first came to K City, their family helped me with the procedures for attending a school temporarily. Also, Xu Yifan kept pestering me, saying that there was a very skilled martial artist at the school, and he hadn't been able to beat him for years, getting beaten up badly. He didn't know how many beatings he had suffered... I softened and agreed to teach him some skills." Xiao Qing said, smiling faintly, "But I have my own things to take care of in K City. So, I don't have much time to teach him. But to repay a favor to him—well, I thought, since he's learning martial arts from me to get revenge on that master who bullied him for years—I might as well just take matters into my own hands, teach that guy a lesson, and break a few of his bones."
Chen Xiao was stunned...
Uh... I fought with Xu Yifan for several years... Every time I beat him up badly... I don't know how many beatings I got over those years...
Why does it sound like you're talking about yourself?
Damn! I get it! It must be that Xu Yifan wanted to become Xiao Qing's apprentice, but Xiao Qing refused, so the Second Young Master Xu made up this melodramatic story to gain her sympathy!
Considering Xu Ershao's personality—that must be it!!
"You...you plan to find that guy and teach him a lesson?" Chen Xiao chuckled wryly and rubbed his nose.
“Yes.” Xiao Qing said helplessly, “It’s a pity I couldn’t find one. I’ve searched all the martial arts clubs in this school. But I haven’t found a single one whose kung fu is better than Xu Yifan’s. They’re all useless.”
Thank goodness you didn't find it!
Chen Xiao smiled bitterly to himself. Xu Ershao's lies! If Xiao Qing found him without knowing the truth, he'd be in big trouble! Judging from the strength she'd just displayed, he was definitely no match for this seemingly frail girl!
"Um...have you ever considered that maybe Xu Yifan is lying to you? Perhaps he wants to become your apprentice, that's why he said that..." Chen Xiao asked cautiously.
"I hate it when people lie to me the most." Xiao Qing's voice was calm, as if she were saying nothing. "If I find out he's lying to me, I'll break his leg."
ah?
Then it's better not to say anything!
But this is a real dilemma! If we don't tell the truth, Xiao Qing is prepared to break several of her bones. If we tell the truth, Young Master Xu is going to break a leg...
Chen Xiao quickly changed the subject: "Uh, are you new to K City?"
Xiao Qing's captivating eyes stared at Chen Xiao for a long while without answering. After a full minute, she sighed and said, "Although it's presumptuous of me to say this... well, classmate, I really have no interest in you, so please don't..." She frowned, seemingly unsure how to phrase it, "I'm not very good at rejecting people, but I think you understand what I mean. I'm not interested in any other boys right now."
Chen Xiao blushed slightly at what was said: "I'm sorry... uh, could it be that you and Xu Yifan are..." He only got halfway through his sentence before he immediately realized that he must have guessed wrong! If Xiao Qing really was Xu Yifan's girlfriend, then she wouldn't have said something like "breaking his leg"—and besides, when she said that just now, she definitely didn't sound like she was joking.
"No." Xiao Qing seemed to smile, as if she felt that Chen Xiao's statement was somewhat absurd. She thought for a moment and said, "I have a fiancé. I came to K City this time to find my fiancé."
No, fiancé?
Is this some kind of absurdity?! A boyfriend would be more like it. A fiancé? Xiao Qing looks younger than me, seventeen or eighteen and already has a fiancé? What era are we living in?!
Chen Xiao couldn't help but chuckle: "My dear student, I'm not actually pestering you. So, you don't need to make up such a reason to reject me. I think you've misunderstood... I didn't mean to pursue you, it's just that you look a lot like..."
"I didn't lie to you. I've never liked lying." Xiao Qing smiled faintly.
Chen Xiao believed it immediately.
Because Xiao Qing's tone and expression really didn't sound like he was joking.
"I...I just find it strange. You're so young, and you're getting married already?" Chen Xiao sighed.
