”Ruan Ruan, have you been sneaking behind my back to steal a man?”

The little bit of shyness and charm that Jiang Ruan originally had was completely gone with his words, ”What nonsense are you talking about, who... who’s stealing a man?”

”You must have done something bad,” Qi Lie stated bluntly.

”Do you have evidence?”

”Haven’t you looked in the mirror? Your face is as red as a monkey’s butt.”

”That’s because it’s too stuffy inside.”

”Oh—” Qi Lie deliberately elongated his voice, clearly teasing her, making Jiang Ruan so angry she raised her hand as if to hit him, how could this person be so annoying.

She caught a glimpse of Yan Chi coming back, and to maintain her image, she lowered her raised hand again.

”Oh—can’t keep a young woman around, huh,” Qi Lie laughed.

”Have you had too much to drink, are you drunk already? Then hurry back to the hotel to sleep.” Jiang Ruan was a bit guilty.

”Let’s go, back to the hotel.” Qi Lie got up, the Litchi Wine wasn’t intoxicating at all, he was quite clear-headed, they didn’t have a car to drive, so they had to go to the roadside to catch a cab, passing by the beach, they encountered many couples being all lovey-dovey on the way.

”Ruan Ruan...” Qi Lie had one hand in his pocket, turned his head to look at the person beside him.

”Hmm?”

The two of them bickering and bantering was pretty normal, they were like this one second, but good friends again the next.

”Don’t you think there’s a smell in the air?”

”What smell?” Jiang Ruan sincerely sniffed, ”Have you drunk too much, I don’t smell anything, is it the ocean’s smell?”

”It’s the stink of love.”

”...”

Jiang Ruan felt that he might be implying something about her.

”Do you think we’re friends? When a friend needs help, shouldn’t you be duty-bound to assist?”

Jiang Ruan was a bit guilty at the moment, she just responded lightly, ”What do you need my help with?”

”Nanjiang has a duty-free shop, right?”

”What do you want to do?”

”I want to buy shoes, if you don’t have class, come help me stand in line or something.”

”...” Jiang Ruan wanted to kick him to death, ”You came to Nanjiang this time, it wasn’t to see me at all, right? You said you’d accompany me back to Beijing? I think you just came specifically to buy shoes!”

”I originally came to buy shoes, do you really think it was because of you?” Qi Lie was being honest.

”...”

Jiang Ruan was so angry she vented in the group chat about someone’s unreliability.

As a result, her twin brothers didn’t help her crusade against someone, but rather switched sides at the last minute.

Xiaojiu: ”Brother Qi, I was eyeing a pair of shoes a while ago, since you’re going to the duty-free shop, could you see if they have my size?”

Old Ten: ”Same here.”

Even Jiang Jinsang’s little brother popped out: ”Brother, me too!”

Boys might have some sort of attachment to shoes, the original Qi Lie condemnation turned into a buying service group, Qi Lie inexplicably received many orders, even his own sister joined in the fun, asking him to bring a set of skincare products. Did this group think of him as their personal shopper?

These things weren’t necessarily exclusive to the duty-free shop, they were clearly just trying to trouble him.

But Qi Lie had no choice, since he was here and they needed it, he could only make a shopping list and start purchasing.

After finally getting everything, he found a place to rest, and coincidentally ran into...

Yan Chi!

Qi Lie had been to Nanjiang several times, but never ran into him before, what luck was he having recently, having met him last night and again today.

Jiang Ruan was currently in class at school, and her phone vibrated twice under the desk, she pulled it out to take a look.

[Ruan Ruan, guess who I bumped into at the duty-free shop?]

[Say it quickly, I’m in class.] Jiang Ruan glanced at the teacher.

[Yan Chi, isn’t that something?]

Jiang Ruan’s heart skipped a beat,[If you saw him, you saw him, why tell me?]

[No reason, just gossiping a bit, because there’s a woman next to him...]

Jiang Ruan’s breathing hitched, and then someone followed up with a message:

[Judging by her age, it’s probably his mother.]

Jiang Ruan was so angry she couldn’t help but want to kick him to death, was he a devil or something?
