Zheng Xiangqiao finished speaking and looked up at the person who bumped into her, only then did she realize there stood a handso man with delicate features.
Upon seeing the man’s face clearly, Zheng Xiangqiao quickly stopped talking, her face turning slightly red.
Yiyi watched the scene unfold perfectly clear, her eyes full of mockery. Zheng Xiangqiao and Zhang Liangyue really did et as expected.
"I’m sorry, I didn’t notice earlier, did I hurt you?"
Zhang Liangyue saw Zheng Xiangqiao in front of him and gently asked.
"No... I’m fine."
Zheng Xiangqiao suddenly felt a bit annoyed; she spoke too loudly just now and didn’t know what the other person would think.
Seeing the girl’s pinkish face and slightly plump figure, Zhang Liangyue couldn’t help but say more, "Anyway, I wasn’t watching where I was going, it was my fault."
While speaking, he started to walk back, "You guys ca to buy scallion pancakes, right? The beef scallion pancakes at this shop are quite delicious."
Zheng Xiangqiao, hearing this, responded happily, "Thank you for the recomndation, we’ll definitely try one later."
"Boss, two beef scallion pancakes and two mustard greens scallion pancakes, please." Zhang Liangyue paid for it while speaking and, taking the pancakes, handed them to Zheng Xiangqiao, saying, "Consider this my apology gift. You and your friend can share them later."
"This... how can I accept this?"
Though saying no, Zheng Xiangqiao’s eyes were full of smiles, and she readily took the pancakes from Zhang Liangyue’s hand.
Watching the interaction between the two, Yiyi sneered; the two of them really are a perfect match, hooking up just after eting.
But at this mont, she also felt a bit puzzled.
Whether in a previous life or this one, Zhang Liangyue was initially more interested in Zheng Xiangqiao, not even sparing a glance at her. So why did he later pursue her relentlessly? It caused her such distress in her crucial senior year of high school that her grades slipped, and after that incident, she didn’t even take the college entrance exam.
Yiyi stood quietly for a mont, deep in thought.
"Yiyi, let’s go for a walk in the park together."
At this mont, Zheng Xiangqiao grabbed Yiyi’s hand and enthusiastically invited her, "Mr. Zhang just said there’s a nice new park in town, let’s go take a look."
Hearing Zheng Xiangqiao’s words, Yiyi snapped back to reality, raising an eyebrow. Things were still happening as before. In the previous life, she foolishly ran to the park with them, only to see the two flirting. This ti she was not in the mood to watch their antics.
"No, I won’t go. My mom’s waiting for to return ho."
Zheng Xiangqiao quickly said, "Yiyi, let’s go together."
"No, you two go. I’ll head ho first." Without waiting for a response, she waved her hand and left without looking back.
Although still puzzled, Yiyi believed she would eventually figure things out, so there was no need to waste ti going to the park now.
But after leaving the pancake shop, she hesitated for a mont and then headed directly towards North City instead of going ho.
She rembered there were two Chinese dicine shops in North City. Though she was unwilling to sell the herbs from her space now, it would be good to inquire about the market. If she had a surplus in the future, she could sell them.
North City was a bit far, but Yiyi was now very familiar with the town, so she unhesitatingly took a shortcut.
However, when she reached the middle of a small alley, Yiyi couldn’t help but feel a chill on her back, her intuition telling her it wasn’t safe around.
Uncertain of the situation, Yiyi didn’t hesitate and ran forward without looking back.
But before she could even take two steps, soone grabbed the back of her shirt, and a cold dagger pressed against her neck.
At that mont, Yiyi couldn’t help but think of swearing.
She had just taken a shortcut on a whim, and this happened—how unlucky could she be?
The last ti she followed Zheng Xiangqiao to the park, she avoided this. Who would have thought there’d be danger in such a small alley today?
Soon she heard footsteps behind her, and the person who grabbed her turned her around to face the newcor.
When Yiyi saw who approached, she was stunned.
Him... how is he here?
"Stop, don’t move any further, or I’ll slit this girl’s throat," the attacker threatened.
Hearing this, Yiyi ca back to her senses, her eyes still filled with complex emotions.
It was Gu Tingyu.
So Gu Tingyu was already in town at this ti? What happened today? Was he catching bad guys?
Her mind was filled with countless thoughts, making her almost forget about the dagger at her neck.
When Gu Tingyu saw the bright red mark on the girl’s neck, he imdiately stopped, "I advise you not to act recklessly."
The assailant, seeing Gu Tingyu stop, relaxed a bit and let out a sigh, "Stop following , or I’ll be rude to the girl."
Hearing the attacker, Yiyi cald herself and beca composed.
Though she didn’t expect to see Gu Tingyu here, the situation needed to be resolved first; it shouldn’t affect Gu Tingyu because of her.
Taking a deep breath, Yiyi worked up so emotions and began to sob, "Sir, please let go."
The assailant saw that Yiyi was coming back to her senses from the initial fright and disdainfully said, "Shut up, or you’ll regret it."
"Li San, since when have you stooped to threatening a little girl," Gu Tingyu’s voice was icy, his face even more so.
Li San glanced at Gu Tingyu and scoffed, "As long as you stop following , I’ll naturally let her go. You’ve been chasing for three days, aren’t you tired? I am."
But Gu Tingyu, with deep eyes, said, "If you tell where Mr. Chen is, I won’t chase you any more."
"Ha... you’re still dreaming of finding Mr. Chen. Let tell you, stop dreaming. Now turn around and leave, or this girl will disappear in the pri of her youth."
Yiyi roughly understood the situation, and while the two were talking, she leaned her body forward.
