The four walked past expressionlessly and left the area, Lin Jiayi, indulged in the shower of love, completely unaware. She only felt Simon was too demanding.
After leaving Lantern Street, there were fewer pedestrians on the street, almost deserted.
The four of them were heading towards the parking area when they were blocked again.
Shen Qian stood in front of the four, glancing at Jiang Kechu’s expressionless face, then stared intently at Wan Chu’er with a face full of disdain and challenge.
Xiao Bai excitedly said to Wan Chu’er, "Oh, she might want to fight you. You ran away last time and drove this miss mad. I really want to see you get beaten up."
Xiaoxiao couldn’t help but roll her eyes at Xiao Bai, who smiled at her, "It’s going to be a good show. It would be even better with some sunflower seeds."
Wan Chu’er shoved Xiao Bai’s sleazy smiling face away with a slap.
Shen Qian, seemingly oblivious to Xiao Bai’s remark, just stared at Wan Chu’er and stated flatly, "I want to fight you, loser backs off."
Though she did not specify what to back off from, everyone present understood.
Wan Chu’er replied with a cheery, "Sure." She wanted to spar with someone other than Li Shan to gauge her current skill level. Shen Qian was really a living Lei Feng, always so helpful.
Then, unable to hold it in, Xiaoxiao burst into laughter. The next second, Jiang Kechu darkened his face and roared at Shen Qian, "Get lost!"
Shen Qian hesitated, her face turning somewhat pale but insisted, "Jiang Kechu, this is between Wan Chu’er and me. She ran away midway last time..."
She hadn’t finished her words when Jiang Kechu grabbed Wan Chu’er and bypassed her, forging ahead.
Seeing Jiang Kechu angry, Wan Chu’er didn’t resist and let him pull her along, but she turned her head and shouted at Shen Qian:
"I accept your challenge, but I’m not dressed properly for a fight today. Let’s schedule another day, whoever doesn’t show up is a coward. You can set the time with my agent."
Xiao Bai immediately pointed to himself, then resignedly said, "I’m your nanny." Xiaoxiao laughed and followed her brother, leaving Xiao Bai alone.
Shen Qian didn’t dare chase after Jiang Kechu, who was radiating a frightful aura, and angrily humphed. Hearing Xiao Bai’s words, she could only turn to him.
Xiao Bai grinned, "Hey, warrior beauty, I’m Wan Chu’er’s agent. Here’s my business card, let’s talk on the phone later." Then, without waiting, he handed her a business card and tried to follow Wan Chu’er.
But Shen Qian wouldn’t let him go. She couldn’t chase after Wan Chu’er and Jiang Kechu, but why would she hesitate with this unserious pretty boy Xiao Bai in front of her?
So with a swift move, she firmly grabbed Xiao Bai’s arm, twisted it behind him, rendering him immobile as he started yelping in pain.
Damn, what’s up with this woman. Why get him instead of going after Wan Chu’er and Jiang Kechu, the main characters? Does she want to take him back and keep him as a captive husband?
While internally complaining, Xiao Bai shouted, "Heroine, spare me! Let’s talk it out peacefully, getting physical really isn’t a good look, good women don’t fight with men..."
Shen Qian snorted, "Slick talker! Don’t think you can run away like last time."
"I’m not running, not running. Can we talk nicely? I’m no match for you anyway, can you please let go of me? It really hurts," Xiao Bai said.
Shen Qian thought it over, considering Xiao Bai couldn’t escape her grasp, and she also didn’t want to be too close to such a blathering man, so she pushed him forward, releasing his arm.
"Ouch, ouch." Xiao Bai carefully held his arm. What’s with women these days? Violence at the drop of a hat, and it’s always him facing the violence, truly tragic.
Shen Qian disdainfully said, "Quit your whining. It’s not like you’re missing an arm or a leg."
Lacking an arm or a leg!
Who knew she could say something like that? Xiao Bai thought this girl was tough. He had nothing in common with her and stopped talking.
Seeing Wan Chu’er, that ungrateful wretch, leaving him behind and driving away alone, he could only patiently say to Shen Qian:
"Miss Shen, if there’s anything you’d like to instruct me on, feel free to say it."
Shen Qian looked at him disdainfully and said, "Speak properly, just one thing, when is Wan Chu’er going to fight with me?"
She’s really impatient.
Xiao Bai scratched his head and replied, "The day after tomorrow is Monday, Wan Chu’er is starting school, there’s still some time tomorrow. If you’re in a hurry, let’s fight tomorrow."
Let’s get it over with quickly, the sooner, the better.
Xiao Bai’s suggestion aligned with Shen Qian’s thoughts; she also wanted to fight with Wan Chu’er soon. She was skeptical, "Are you sure you can decide for Wan Chu’er, sure that she will fight with me tomorrow?"
"Absolutely certain and sure," Xiao Bai immediately assured.
Shen Qian took another look at Xiao Bai, then firmly said, "Alright, then I’ll trust you guys one more time. See you tomorrow at the hilltop behind East City Park."
Xiao Bai quickly thought about Wan Chu’er’s routine and then said, "Six o’clock in the morning, don’t miss it."
That’s a bit early, but after thinking it over, Shen Qian agreed.
Finally, Shen Qian threatened, "If I don’t see Wan Chu’er tomorrow morning, I’ll come knocking. I know she lives in Old Sir Zhong’s old house."
Xiao Bai raised his eyebrows in surprise. This girl was really fierce. He asked with amusement, "Then do you know who Old Sir Zhong is?"
Shen Qian glanced at him like he was an idiot and then turned and walked away.
Xiao Bai looked at the deserted, dimly lit street and shouted loudly, "Big sister, can you give me a ride? Because of you, I missed my ride home."
Shen Qian’s figure paused, then she walked away even more briskly.
"Cold-hearted, not cute at all! No wonder Jiang Kechu doesn’t like you." Xiao Bai muttered to himself, then turned and walked toward Lantern Street where many taxis were parked.
Xiao Bai guessed that Wan Chu’er had gotten home, so he called her to tell her about the fight arranged with Shen Qian for tomorrow.
Wan Chu’er readily agreed and asked with a smile, "Shen Qian didn’t give you a hard time, did she?"
Xiao Bai snorted, "Such a simple-minded, physically strong, foolish girl, trying to give me a hard time? Maybe in her next life."
Wan Chu’er flattered a bit, then hung up.
She didn’t tell anyone else, but since she already got up at five every morning to exercise, tomorrow’s exercise would just be a different kind.
The next morning, Wan Chu’er got up, called Li Shan, and had him drive her to the hill behind East City Park.
The sky wasn’t yet bright, there was almost no one on the road, and Li Shan didn’t ask what got into Wan Chu’er, just drove attentively.
They drove all the way to the hilltop, where Shen Qian was already waiting. When she saw Li Shan come down from the car, her fists subconsciously clenched.
