Swing the sword at the future female devil

Chapter 419 I have become the perfect tea!

“Huai Ge, classmate…” Xiao Xie’s voice was soft and gentle, with a slight, almost imperceptible tremor, like a feather being blown by the wind.

She struggled to sit up, her hands bracing against the ground, but she seemed unable to muster any strength, and her body slumped slightly, her brows furrowing in pain. Her pitiful gaze lingered on Duan Huaige's face for a moment before quickly sweeping over Qin Shuangjiang, Yan Qiuxi, and Jiang Xiyu, who had just run back in shock.

"I'm sorry... I think I twisted my ankle..." Xie Cangling sniffed, trying to force a "I'm fine" smile, but the smile was more heartbreaking than crying.

"It's all my fault for being so clumsy..." She lowered her eyes, her long eyelashes casting a small shadow under her eyes. "Sisters, don't worry about me, you...you guys keep playing. Don't let me spoil the fun...I'll go downstairs and rub it with some medicated wine and it'll be fine."

Her voice grew softer and softer, filled with self-blame and unease.

Duan Huaige squatted down to take a look, then shook his head and said, "You have a wound here... you probably scraped it..."

Little Jiang the Great Demon King said with great remorse, "Cang Ling, I'm sorry... It's all Yan Qiuxi's fault! She said this angle wouldn't cause any problems!"

Yan Qiuxi: ? ? ?

"Don't worry," Duan Huaige said to the group, "I'll take Cang Ling down to treat her wounds. You can leave her here for now; we should be back soon."

Qin Shuangjiang: ?

Is it a coincidence...? Something just doesn't feel right.

"Cangling...are you alright? Do you want me to stay with you?"

"No need, Huaige, I'll just go downstairs and bandage myself, I'll be right back... You guys keep playing..."

Xie Cangling firmly rejected Duan Huaige's suggestion, and then her small figure limped towards the stairs.

Seeing this, Little Jiang the Great Demon King felt even more guilty and quickly pointed the finger at Prince Yan: "Look at Yan Qiuxi, this is all your doing!"

"You have the nerve to blame me? It was clearly your hand that was shaking that caused it to be misplaced!"

Although Duan Huaige was a little worried, it was only a minor injury after all. In addition, Miss Cang Ling insisted on not ruining the atmosphere of their fireworks display, so he had no choice but to stay up there and continue to watch the fireworks with the other girls.

As Xiao Jiang the Great Demon King and Yan Qiuxi argued, their focus suddenly shifted to Qin Shuangjiang, who had been watching the whole thing. The three of them started arguing, making the atmosphere even more lively. However, Duan Huaige seemed a little distracted, glancing at his phone every now and then, as if he wanted to ask Xiao Xie how things were going and if he needed any help.

"Maybe I should go take a look," Duan Huaige sighed, thinking to himself. He then waved to the others from afar, saying he would go down to help Miss Cangling find her first-aid kit.

He had just stepped off the rooftop entrance when, unexpectedly, a familiar, warm embrace swept into him around the corner. The sweet, familiar scent of a young girl filled his nostrils, leaving Duan Huaige somewhat dazed. "Brother Huaige..." Xie Cangling's muffled voice came from his arms. She remained silent for a few seconds before slowly and very carefully shifting her gaze back to Duan Huaige's face.

The dim light in the hallway shone down on her without any obstruction, and the grievances and pain she had shown earlier, on the verge of tears, quietly disappeared like the receding tide. There were no tears on her long eyelashes; even the redness around her eyes was almost invisible.

"Cangling...you...you're not hurt?"

Xiao Xie has been waiting for me here all this time?

She suddenly smiled at Duan Huaige. The smile was clean, clear, and even had a touch of girlish playfulness, completely different from her previous weak and helpless demeanor.

"I want to spend more time alone with Brother Huaige." Xiao Xie's breath was fragrant and carried a hint of mellow wine aroma. Clearly, she had just secretly drunk a few mouthfuls of wine to ensure she was able to complete the Earth Explosion Star Project.

I have become the perfect tea!

Before Duan Huaige could say anything more, he saw Xiao Xie slowly, with a touch of childish pride, stretch out her hand, which had been hidden in the sleeve of her down jacket, and open it in front of Duan Huaige.

That hand had slender fingers, with neatly trimmed nails that gleamed with a soft, pearly sheen under the light. The palm faced upwards, the skin delicate and fair, as perfect as a jade carving.

"Brother Huai Ge..."

Duan Huaige initially wanted to refuse, but then she thought about it again.
Let me say thank you... Someone has set the stage, and even though I know it's a sweet trap, I still have to cooperate and play out this scene. Otherwise, I would be letting down the beauty's good intentions.

"Brother Huaige...we...?"

"it is good!"

The young women on the rooftop gradually realized something was wrong.

"Hmm? Didn't Xiao Duan say he was going to check on Cang Ling? Why has he been gone for so long?" Little Jiang the Great Demon King asked suspiciously, "Is Cang Ling's injury very serious?!"

“How could that be? I guess Huai Ge got carried away while applying the medicine and touching her feet…” Yan Qiuxi said seriously, “This kind of thing is very much in line with my impression of Duan Huai Ge.”

Qin Shuangjiang frowned slightly, feeling that Xie Cangling, the little green tea, was acting strangely tonight... no, to be precise, Xie Cangling had been acting strangely all day.

Whether it was the tension and hostility at their first meeting, or the inexplicable interactions with Duan Huaige later on, it all seemed to suggest that... Xiao Xie was preparing to pull off a big stunt, one even bigger than the legendary ancestor Yan Qiuxi.
