Thief Game: Starting with Obtaining the Kidd Card

Wendy forced back her laughter, her eyes sweeping over Lin Qingyao with amusement, making Lin Qingyao feel uncomfortable before she finally looked away.

……

Chapter 376 The Forgotten Shangguan Meng

Lin Qingyao turned her face away to avoid Wendy's amused gaze.

However, as soon as she turned her head, she felt the spot next to the sofa sink, and then Chen Feng's voice rang in her ear:

"Thank you, my... assistant."

"Um……"

Lin Qingyao glanced sideways and met Chen Feng's gaze. A rare smile appeared on her lips, which she quickly suppressed.

"The coffee is ready."

Su Luoxue's voice came, and then a figure carrying a tray with four cups of coffee walked out of the kitchen.

Upon seeing this, Wendy immediately laughed and said, "You guys should try Snowfall's coffee. You've never tasted anything so good."

"Um... Wendy, Chen Feng taught me how to brew coffee."

"Huh?" Wendy looked surprised.

"In that case, I'll have to try Mr. Chen's cooking sometime."

"I definitely will if I have the chance."

……

Night slowly descended.

In a room at a five-star hotel owned by Amya Company.

Three figures were busy with their own things in the room.

Shangguan Lin stared at the laptop screen, her fair hands moving across the keyboard as she typed continuously.

Shangguan Meng lay on the bed, looking utterly dejected as she did exercises on her phone. Although she had asked her advisor for leave, she still had to complete all the required classes and exercises on her phone.

As for Shangguan Xi, she sat in front of the closed window, her hand supporting her face as she looked out the window, her brows furrowed in deep thought, as if she were missing someone.

"ah!"

Shangguan Meng suddenly jumped up from the bed, her face full of anxiety, and said:

"Oh no! I suddenly realized I haven't submitted a labor education assignment yet, and the deadline is tonight at midnight! Big sister, second sister! Hurry up and help me prepare, I need to take a picture to submit the assignment!"

Shangguan Meng anxiously tugged at Shangguan Lin's arm or squeezed Shangguan Xi's shoulder, urging the two of them to hurry up.

Shangguan Lin looked up from the computer, closed the laptop, and said with a slight chuckle:

"You're still handing in labor education assignments? You're always lying down or sprawled out at home, you even complain about sitting up. How can you be so shameless as to hand them in?"

Shangguan Xi also came to her senses and nodded in agreement.

"Oh dear! Eldest sister! Second sister!"

Shangguan Meng was so anxious that she stomped her feet. She picked up her phone and glanced at it. It was already past 11:30. There was less than half an hour left before the homework deadline, which made her even more anxious.

"Stop making fun of me! Hurry up! My assignment is due soon! I don't want to fail! If I fail Labor Education, my roommates will laugh at me to death!"

"Alright, alright, I won't say anymore. How do you want Xiaoxi and me to help you?"

What do you want us to do?

Shangguan Lin and Shangguan Xi asked each other questions.

Shangguan Meng was so anxious that she stomped her feet. She scanned the room, trying to find a suitable chore to take a picture of. However, as a hotel room, there was not even a broom or a rag. What could she possibly have to take a picture of?

Just as Shangguan Meng was at a loss for what to do, a knock sounded on the door:

dong dong dong-

Hello, delivery!

"takeout?"

Shangguan Lin and Shangguan Xi exchanged a glance, seemingly asking each other, "Did you order this takeout?"

However, Shangguan Meng, who was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, seemed to have thought of something, and her eyes lit up.

He rushed forward and opened the room door, not even bothering to wonder why a five-star hotel would allow a deliveryman to come up, and pulled the deliveryman inside.

Faced with the deliveryman's questioning gaze, Shangguan Meng spoke in her broken Chinglish:

"Sorry, I...I..."

Shangguan Meng struggled for a long time but couldn't utter a complete sentence, so she turned to her two older sisters behind her for help.

Seeing this, Shangguan Lin wanted to laugh, but she held back and stepped forward to act as Shangguan Meng's dedicated translator.

Through Shangguan Lin's fluent English conversation, the deliveryman understood that she wanted to borrow his delivery uniform and helmet to take a photo.

He initially refused, but after Shangguan Xi took out a 100 euro tip, he immediately changed his attitude and gladly took off his clothes and helmet, handing them to Shangguan Meng.

Once she got the clothes, Shangguan Meng didn't care about anything else. She quickly put on the ill-fitting clothes, took the food delivery from the delivery guy, put on her helmet, and pretended to be on her way to deliver food so that her second sister, Shangguan Xi, could take a picture of her.

Shangguan Xi nodded, suppressing a laugh, opened her camera, pointed the lens at the pretentious Shangguan Meng, and prepared to press the shutter button.

But at that moment, Shangguan Xi suddenly felt an arm wrap around her slender waist.

The sudden arm movement made Shangguan Xi's face darken immediately. After regaining her senses, she prepared to teach the deliveryman behind her who had touched her a lesson.

But before Shangguan Xi could turn around, a voice immediately entered her ears.

"Perhaps you could soften the color tone a bit more, which would make the whole photo look more aesthetically pleasing."

"you……"

Shangguan Xi's raised arm fell limply down as if all its strength had been released. She turned her head to the side, her eyes filled with surprise and joy as she looked at the deliveryman behind her, who was bundled up tightly.

"What? Aren't you welcoming me?"

As the sunglasses and mask were removed, a stunningly handsome face was revealed to Shangguan Xi.

“Kidd…”

Shangguan Xi's lips trembled slightly as she reached out to touch the cheek of the person in front of her in disbelief.

Chen Feng did not refuse and let her place her hand on his face.

The next second, overwhelmed with emotion, Shangguan Xi could no longer hold back and hugged Chen Feng tightly, shrinking into his arms, unable to utter a single word.

Shangguan Lin also showed a hint of surprise, but then the surprise on her face turned into a smile, a smile of happiness for her sister, but also with a hint of hidden loneliness.

but……

They seem to have forgotten something...

"Second Sister!!!"

Shangguan Meng was almost frantic. Her arm, which was holding the takeout box, was aching from holding it up, but she didn't hear anything behind her until she turned around and saw Shangguan Xi, who had already snuggled into Chen Feng's arms.

Even Shangguan Lin was just watching from the sidelines, completely forgetting about her younger sister.

"Ah! I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry."

Suddenly, Shangguan Xi seemed to remember something, and quickly crawled out of Chen Feng's arms, giving Shangguan Meng a slightly embarrassed smile.

Chen Feng also put on an innocent expression and gave Shangguan Meng a puzzled smile, but Shangguan Meng glared at him without any politeness, yet he didn't say anything.

……

Chapter 377 Dilemma

Fortunately, with less than ten minutes left before midnight, Shangguan Xi managed to take the photos for Shangguan Meng and submit the assignment.

However, before she could catch her breath, Shangguan Lin pulled her out of the room under the pretext of having a late-night snack.

click -

The door closed, and the room fell silent once more. Looking at the familiar handsome young man in front of her, Shangguan Xi, who had so much to say before, seemed to have forgotten it all. Her mind went blank, and she didn't know what to say.

"You seem a little nervous, Xiaoxi."

Chen Feng stroked Shangguan Xi's long hair and spoke softly.

"Hmm..." Shangguan Xi nodded, her words exposed. After a moment of silence, she looked up and asked, "When...did you get back?"

"Well, about five days ago, on the 7th... two days before Wendy and the other girl sent out the notice. I just got back. When I went to the scene earlier, I noticed a white dove used for reconnaissance, and I knew that someone I knew was here, but I didn't expect it to be you guys."

"Five days..."

Shangguan Xi nodded slightly, looked up at Chen Feng, seemingly wanting to ask something but unsure how. After thinking for a while, she finally spoke:

"I have a question I can ask you."

"Ah……"

Chen Feng chuckled, reached out and tidied her slightly messy hair behind her ear, and said, "Why are you suddenly being so polite to me? This isn't like the Xiao Xi I know."

Upon receiving Chen Feng's reply, Shangguan Xi smiled, and her previous restraint seemed to vanish almost entirely at that moment.

"That...the news about you and Amya, it's..."

"it is true."

Chen Feng made no attempt to hide anything.

This caused Shangguan Xi's face to show disappointment, and she seemed to vaguely regret her question.

Actually, she wasn't stupid. Even before Chen Feng left, there were already quite a few rumors about him and Amya. After disappearing for three months, when he returned, the first person he looked for was Amya. Even after the operation ended, the hotel where they stayed was arranged by Amya's assistant, a woman named Mir.

Amya's every move resembled that of a generous hostess entertaining guests for her husband, while she herself was the guest being entertained.

Such an obvious action made it impossible for Shangguan Xi to deceive herself, even if she wanted to.

"what happened?"

Chen Feng's voice pulled Shangguan Xi back from her wandering thoughts.

"No...nothing..."
