Chapter 76 Touching Shi Ye's Head

Tang Nian picked up a chicken leg with her chopsticks and put it into Shi Ye's bowl, saying, "Coat it with breadcrumbs, even the neighbor's kids are drooling. You should try it, let's see if you cry then."

As she spoke, she looked at him with her big, bright eyes.

Shi Ye was slightly taken aback; he didn't understand what breadcrumbs were.

But he still chuckled twice, picked up a crispy chicken leg, took a bite, and said, "It tastes really good, it's making me drool."

When someone likes the food you share, no one would be unhappy, and Tang Nian was no exception.

Overjoyed, Tang Nian couldn't suppress her desire to share. She picked up her chopsticks and put some of almost every dish on the table into Shi Ye's bowl.

In no time, the bowls at night were piled up as high as a small mountain.

Shi Ye smiled slightly and said, "Alright, alright, don't just focus on me, you should eat more too."

As he spoke, he picked up his chopsticks and put food into Tang Nian's bowl. The two of them ate the whole meal back and forth like this.

When it came time to pay the bill, the two disagreed again. Tang Nian refused to agree to treat Shi Ye to dinner, and Shi Ye felt the same way.

Tang Nian frowned and said, "You've always helped me, so it's only right that I treat you to a meal. In fact, I'm the one who benefits. It's just a matter of reciprocity, so please don't refuse."

Shi Ye stared at Tang Nian for a while, then smiled helplessly, "Alright, then we'll listen to Tang Nian today. Thank you for your hospitality."

Tang Nian waved her hand dismissively and followed the boss to pay the bill.

Shi Ye's gaze fell on the two men in black in the corner.

He stared intently at the two of them, whose bodies trembled slightly. Just as they were about to put down their chopsticks and apologize, Shi Ye looked away.

"Let's go." Tang Nian walked to his side, and the two walked outside side by side.

The city of Tiandou at night has a unique charm, with lights twinkling and stars dotting the sky, as the two stroll through the alleyways.

Tang Nian asked, "When are you leaving Heaven Dou City?"

Shi Ye paused for a moment before saying, "I should leave after I take you back to Shrek Academy."

Although the two hadn't seen each other often, Tang Nian genuinely considered Shi Ye her friend, a friend despite their age difference. Hearing Shi Ye say that he was leaving, Tang Nian couldn't help but feel a little down.

She spoke with concern, reminding him, "Be careful on the road."

In fact, Tang Nian knew that Shi Ye was already a Title Douluo-level powerhouse, especially with his spirit ring configuration. Even if he met Dugu Bo, who was also a Title Douluo, he probably wouldn't be his match.

But people's hearts are inherently biased, so Tang Niancai couldn't care less about that. Her wish was simple: that everyone could be safe and sound.

Shi Ye nodded. "I understand. I've been busy with some things these days, so I might not be able to come and watch your match."

After a pause, Ye said with a serious expression, "Remember my words, you must be careful in the Continental Advanced Soul Master Tournament. I may not be able to make it to the first few matches, so you should try not to participate."

Tang Nian smiled and said, "It's just a competition, why are you so worried? I'm not bragging, but among my peers, there's no one who can match my talent."

Shi Ye sighed and said, "Little Tang Nian, don't be careless. Many forces will be involved in this competition. Your talent is a good thing, but it is also a bad thing. In order to prevent you from becoming their enemy, they will try to get rid of you before you become strong."

Tang Nian smiled slightly, "Don't worry. It's precisely because of the existence of multiple forces that they can check and balance each other. As long as I don't make a choice, someone will try every means to protect me."

Tang Nian paused, then looked at Shi Ye with a smug smile and said, "Do you think what I said makes sense?"

Shi Ye gently patted Tang Nian's head and said tenderly, "Whatever little Tang Nian says is right. I understand the reasoning you're talking about, but I can't guarantee that these people will always follow the rules, so you have to be careful that they don't do anything rash when they're desperate."

After a pause, Ye said seriously, "Remember what I said, wait for me, I will find a way to protect you."

Tang Nian gazed at Shi Ye quietly for a long time. She was not an ungrateful person, and she could feel his concern for her from Shi Ye's words.

"I can't guarantee it, but I'll do my best," Tang Nian said with a smile.

As the two were talking, they unknowingly arrived at the gates of Shrek Academy.

Tang Nian carefully tiptoed, trying to reach out and touch Shi Ye's hat, but unfortunately, she was not tall enough and could not reach it.

Shi Ye suppressed a laugh and bent down. Tang Nian glared at him disapprovingly, then reached out and adjusted his hat to make sure it completely covered Shi Ye's face, making it impossible for anyone to see his features.

Tang Nian reached out and patted Shi Ye's fluffy head, her tone teasing, "Alright, stop dawdling. If you delay any longer, it'll be dawn. You should hurry up and go. Look at your outfit, who can ignore you in broad daylight? People who don't know better will think you've stolen something!"

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!

Upon hearing this, Shi Ye couldn't help but chuckle softly. He raised an eyebrow. "What? In your eyes, I've become a thief again?"

Tang Nian rolled her eyes and said helplessly, "I didn't say that. You just had to think that way."

At this moment, Tang Nian felt that she had been standing on tiptoe for too long and her calves were a little sore, so she put her heels down, looked up at Shi Ye and said, "Alright, you should go now. Our teacher will call us for training soon, and it won't be good if I'm found out that I sneaked out in the middle of the night."

Shi Ye's voice was still cool, but with a touch more gentleness and doting. "I know, Xiao Tang Nian, you can go back now. I'll leave after you go inside."

Tang Nian nodded repeatedly like a chick pecking at rice, her eyes crinkling with a smile, "Okay, I'll go in first then. Be careful on the way, and don't forget what I told you before."

Tang Nian's figure gradually disappeared into the distance. Just as she was about to vanish from sight, she turned back and waved to Shi Ye.

Shi Ye smiled slightly and waved his hand as well. Tang Nian then turned and left, satisfied.

After a long while, Shi Ye finally turned and left Shrek Academy.

Perhaps it was because of a delicious meal, or perhaps it was because of seeing friends I hadn't seen in a long time.

Tang Nian walked briskly towards the dormitory, humming a song softly to herself.

Just as she was about to turn, a pair of large hands suddenly reached out and grabbed Tang Nian's arm, leading her into the forest behind the academy.

It was pitch black all around, and Tang Nian was suddenly startled.

"Don't be afraid, it's me."
