“He’s the former, while I’m the latter.”
Luo Ran didn’t have any abilities while acting arrogantly. Naturally, he was the timid kind, Ye Jian was the type that had the ability, yet she didn’t act arrogantly. Usually, she was the courageous kind, capable yet courageous only because she hid that fact really well in her daily life, that no one had discovered the fact that she had the capabilities to kill others.
Such an explanation caused Xia Jinyuan to laugh heartily, which is indeed true, those with the ability to take lives, such as him, such as his comrades, would normally hide the fact they had the capabilities to kill others, and wouldn’t want others to realize that.
Those who continuously have words like “I’m going to kill X**, I’m going to take out X**” hanging around their mouths, are delusional people, because they don’t have the ability’s why they’ll have such delusions. Those with the capabilities do not need to ponder about such things. Instead, they’ll just act without hesitation.
“The little fox who belongs to the latter seemed to be afraid of me meddling in, okay then, your explanations had convinced me.” Why is she saying so much? It was all to stop him from meddling. It was also to tell him, though that boy was quite rotten, but he wasn’t so rotten he needed to be taken care of like the other thugs they had dragged away, after being taught a lesson, there’s no need for people from the underworld to take care of things.
There’s also another important reason why Ye Jian was very fond of talking to Xia Jinyuan, no matter what she says, there’s no need for her to speak too obviously, and he’ll still understand her.
Brother Huang was someone involved in the underworld, streetfights, mugging and bullying students were a common occurrence, if the members of the underworld society wanted to teach him a lesson, she wouldn’t stop them.
But Luo Ran was different, and he is a student of First Provincial High, he is a high schooler, if Xia Jinyuan meddled in, then it was actually inappropriate.
He is a soldier, Luo Ran is a problematic student, there was a vast disparity between their identities, it doesn’t matter whether or not Luo Ran was a problematic student, the moment Xia Jinyuan meddled in, if something bad happens in the future, then it will become a stain on his life as a soldier that cannot be erased.
Instead, the most appropriate action is to allow her, who also had the identity of a student to handle this.
Besides, everyone who had appeared tonight was underlings of Hou Zi, whom she doesn’t trust! Stopping Xia Jinyuan from meddling, was the only thought she had in her mind.
It didn’t take long for them to reach the road from the barren land, after a few minutes, the duo was standing on the streets filled with dim streetlights, Ye Jian pointed towards the Venus Hotel across the street, with a beaming smile: “Captain Xia, you can’t hold my hand any longer, I have to return to that hotel.”
“There’s a senior celebrating his birthday tonight, so he helped me book a room in that Venus Hotel across Kaiser Hotel. I have to go now.”
Xia Jinyuan cocked his brows, “No wonder I couldn’t find you in school today when I asked Uncle Chen, he too said he hadn’t seen you. So you’ve run all over here to have fun, if you don’t mind, I’ll accompany you over?”
“I wouldn’t mind, but I’m afraid Captain Xia would mind.” A hint of playfulness surfaced in Ye Jian’s smile, even her expression carried a meaningful look, “Everyone playing inside is students, and there’s a couple dozen of them, an adult-like Xia Jinyuan coming over to play around with a bunch of students, I’m scared you’ll feel awkward.”
This little fox, she’s saying he was old in a round-a-bout way.
Tidying up his shirt, Captain Xia, who wasn’t discouraged, wore a smile on his handsome face, with elegance and taciturn. He said: “Would my appearance steal away the glory of tonight’s protagonist? I feel like I would, after all, I’ve been blessed with this handsome face that even the little fox would occasionally lose her thoughts from seeing me. If I had really followed after you, I’m afraid tonight’s protagonist will feel awkward.”
She had her own normal social activities, as long as danger was nonexistent, then he did not have any authority to meddle in, no matter how much he liked her, he also needed to give her freedom. Especially because the little fox in front of him doesn’t like to be tied down, she was a little fox who wanted to soar freely alone.
