If you're not going to marry me, why are you flirting? If you dare run away, I'll sever yo

"Excuse me, young man... could I add you on WeChat?"

"Sorry, I don't have a smartphone."

When a girl approached him asking for his contact information, Qi Nan refused without hesitation.

Hearing this, the girl felt it was a pity, but she could only leave empty-handed.

Seeing this, Ye Fan gritted his teeth. This guy was too persistent; how could he run into him here again?

Because of the previous incident, his reputation at school was ruined.

As a result, Ye Fan now feels annoyed whenever he sees Qi Nan, but he can't show it on his face directly, since the two don't have any real grudges.

Stepping into the store.

Qi Nan also noticed Lin Xiaoxiao and the other two in their seats, but he only glanced at them briefly and did not go up to talk to them.

Under the watchful eyes of the three people.

Qi Nan walked up to the counter and waved to Xia Ningqi, "It's time to leave now, you should be able to go, right?"

"Um."

Before Xia Ningqi could reply, Ye Fan jumped out first, pointing at Qi Nan's face and saying sternly, "Qi Nan, I've heard that you used to bully Xia Ningqi a lot. With me here today, you won't be able to bully her again!"

Wow...

Qi Nan looked at Ye Fan as if he were a complete idiot. He hadn't even done anything yet; even though Ye Fan was the male lead, wasn't it a bit too stupid of him to jump in at this point...?

Qi Nan pretended not to know him and asked, "Who are you?"

"My name is Ye Fan. I was present during the kidnapping incident. Have you already forgotten?"

"Oh...it's you..."

Qi Nan didn't want to antagonize him, so he extended his hand and said in a harmless manner, "Nice to meet you..."

"Snap!"

Ye Fan slapped Qi Nan's hand away, "I will not shake hands with a bully like you."

The two faced off.

The atmosphere unconsciously became stiff.

Tang Rou put her arm around Lin Xiaoxiao's arm and said, "Brother Ye Fan is so handsome. He seems to have the upper hand over Qi Nan in terms of presence."

Lin Xiaoxiao frowned. "I feel that Qi Nan has no intention of arguing with him at all."

And indeed, that's exactly what Lin Xiaoxiao said.

Qi Nan showed little emotional fluctuation throughout, while Ye Fan was the only one performing alone.

That calmness was like facing a child throwing a tantrum.

"Alright, let's go."

Xia Ningqi had already taken off her apron at some point, and a simple sentence broke the seemingly tense atmosphere.

Qi Nan turned to look at her. "I can leave anytime, but this guy seems to have something to talk to you about. Why don't you two chat first? I can wait a bit."

Because I know the plot.

Therefore, Qi Nan did not want to hinder the relationship between the two, otherwise who knows what terrifying chain reaction would occur.

To everyone's surprise, Xia Ningqi didn't even glance at Ye Fan, her tone cold, "I don't know him, what's there to talk about?"

Forehead...

After a moment of silence, Ye Fan's lips trembled. "Xia, doesn't Qi Nan often bully you? So you'd better stay away from him. I'm only doing this for your own good!"

Xia Ningqi kicked Qi Nan in the shin.

Will you bully me?

"No, I've already reformed."

"Let's go then, I'm tired."

After spending this time together, Lin Xiaoxiao has begun to desensitize herself to Qi Nan. Besides, the two of them live next door. If he wanted to do something bad, he would have plenty of opportunities. There was no need to specifically choose today.

The words fell.

Xia Ningqi walked towards the door.

Qi Nan glanced at Ye Fan with some "disappointment," then noticed Xia Ningqi walking out of the store alone, and decided to follow her.

Ye Fan was left standing there, stunned.

A cool breeze blew by.

"Sir, your beaten orange is ready," another employee's voice rang in my ears.

Ye Fan took the stick and smashed the orange, and immediately felt that it was no longer sweet.

...

"Alright, let's go," Ye Fan said to the two of them after calming down.

"But how are we going to get there? Should we call a taxi?"

"No need, there are shared electric bikes outside. It's not too far, we can just ride the bikes there and get some exercise while we're at it."

"Oh well..."

Just then, the roar of a Porsche engine filled the air outside the store, attracting attention as it drove off into the road ahead.

Lin Xiaoxiao's vision stung.

Because at this moment, the passenger seat in Qi Nan's car was not his, but Xia Ningqi's.

A strange feeling of jealousy rose in my heart.

Last month, I was the one who was the center of attention...

"Let's go, let's go, we'll be late if we keep going."

Ye Fan urged the two of them on.

Upon hearing this, Tang Rou pulled Lin Xiaoxiao to the door.

Ye Fan put on his helmet first, sat in the car that had been parked earlier, and whistled at the two of them, "There's still room for one more person in the back seat. Xiao Xiao, why don't you ride with me? I'll show you what it's like to go racing."

"Never mind, I can just drive one myself."

Lin Xiaoxiao felt extremely embarrassed just imagining that scene. In the past, she would either take Qi Nan's car or a Didi ride when she went out. She would never share an electric scooter with someone else.

"That works too," Ye Fan said with a slight smile. "But you'd better stick close to me, because I might drive a little faster. Of course, I'll still give way to elderly ladies crossing the zebra crossing."

"Haha, Brother Ye Fan, you're so funny."

Seeing Tang Rou smiling happily, Lin Xiaoxiao could only smile along with her.

At the same time, she kept reminding herself that this was her beloved Ye Fan, and that the current situation was a necessary part of the difficult times. She believed that everything would get better once he started earning money.

...

Inside the Porsche.

Xia Ningqi sat in the passenger seat.

This was the first time she had ever ridden in such a high-end luxury car, and she felt a little unreal.

"Xia Ningqi, can I ask you a question?"

"Just ask if you want to."

Qi Nan gripped the steering wheel, rolled down the window halfway, cleared his throat, and asked, "What are your thoughts on that guy named Ye Fan from earlier?"

"I don't feel anything."

"That doesn't really count as an answer, does it?"

The wind lifted Xia Ningqi's hair, and a few strands brushed against Qi Nan's face, causing a slight itch.

She then fell silent.

"What kind of answer would you like to hear?"

"It's about first impressions, like appearance, personality, and so on..."

Xia Ningqi turned her head, her dark pupils fixed on Qi Nan's face. "Are you jealous because Lin Xiaoxiao likes him? Is that why you're asking me what aspects of myself I have that I can surpass him in?"

Qi Nan's eye twitched. "Your thinking is too jumpy. I don't even have that idea in my mind."
