Thief Game: Starting with Obtaining the Kidd Card

Page 305

Disappointment was evident on Shangguan Xi's face, and her black gem-like eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of crystalline tears, as if they would fall from their sockets at any moment.

My pitiful appearance could probably move any man.

Chen Feng raised his hand and gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes.

Upon seeing Chen Feng's action, Shangguan Xi's first reaction was to avoid him. It wasn't until Chen Feng reached out his hand a second time that she stopped dodging, but the tears welling up in her eyes could no longer be stopped.

Unlike Anna.

Faced with Amya, the "opponent" who came first, Anna's reaction was to confront her head-on. Even when rumors of discord between them surfaced, she never offered any explanation.

Shangguan Xi, on the other hand, reacted by avoiding the situation. So she would rather lie to herself to stop herself from backing down. However, when she could no longer keep up the lie, she would involuntarily start avoiding the situation again.

Feeling Chen Feng's fingers brush against the corner of her eye, Shangguan Xi's eyes flashed with reluctance, but she still pushed Chen Feng's hand away.

She turned to the side, avoiding Chen Feng's gaze, and bit her lower lip lightly, saying, "It's...it's getting late, you should go back soon, Amya...will worry about you..."

As soon as she finished speaking, Shangguan Xi forced herself not to look at Chen Feng.

Chen Feng didn't say much, just left a "okay" and got up from the sofa, heading towards the door.

The footsteps grew louder as they approached and faded into the distance, each step seeming to pound on Shangguan Xi's heart, causing it to tremble repeatedly.

Finally, with a loud "bang" as the door slammed shut, Shangguan Xi jolted awake from a dream and hurriedly stood up from the sofa.

Ignoring everything else, he rushed towards the door, but it was too late. Chen Feng's figure had already disappeared at the door, vanished without a trace.

Shangguan Xi walked back to her room, looking utterly dejected. Leaning against the door, she seemed to have all her strength drained away, as if even her soul had been stripped away. All she could do was lean against the door and weep, covering her face.

"Why are you crying again? Am I some kind of onion reincarnated?"

The voice suddenly rang out from in front of her, causing Shangguan Xi's sobs to stop. Her slightly reddened eyes looked at the person in front of her with surprise.

Chen Feng simply stood in front of her, holding a tissue in his hand to wipe away her tears.

Without the slightest hesitation, Shangguan Xi shoved the tissue out of Chen Feng's hand, strode forward, hooked her arms around Chen Feng's neck, and passionately kissed him.

At this moment, all emotions and reason were cast aside; all she wanted was Chen Feng!

Chen Feng had no reason to refuse, so he wrapped his arms around her back and responded gently.

Three minutes later, Shangguan Xi, who was unable to breathe, struggled to separate, her face seemingly even redder than before, panting heavily, her eyes watery.

"Didn't you leave?"

"I left something behind, I'm coming back to get it."

"What is that... Waaah..."

Before Shangguan Xi could finish her question, the warm sensation returned. At first, Shangguan Xi made a token resistance, but then she awkwardly responded.

The two separated again five minutes later.

Chen Feng brought his lips close to Shangguan Xi's fair ear and said, "Now do you know what it is?"

"Um……"

Shangguan Xi lowered her head and responded in a very soft voice. If the two hadn't been so close, Chen Feng wouldn't have been able to hear her at all.

"But... what about Amya?"

There was still a hint of struggle in Shangguan Xi's eyes as she looked up at Chen Feng.

Chen Feng pressed his forehead against Shangguan Xi's and whispered, "Have you ever seen a thief who only steals one gem?"

"Then you are... really greedy."

Shangguan Xi gave Chen Feng a resentful look.

Just as most people who have the courage to commit suicide, once saved, are unable to do so again, she also couldn't bring herself to drive Chen Feng away a second time.

As for anything else... let's talk about that later...

Shangguan Xi sighed inwardly, but feeling the burning chest in front of her, the corners of her mouth unconsciously curled up slightly.

"kiss Me."

"Ok?"

Chen Feng was slightly taken aback, not expecting that the usually conservative Shangguan Xi would take the initiative to say those two words.

Seeing that Chen Feng did not react, Shangguan Xi did not wait any longer and stood on tiptoe to press her red lips to his again.

……

Chapter 378 Desiccant?

About ten minutes later.

Seeing Shangguan Xi's flushed face, Chen Feng said, "Now I really have to go."

"Ah."

Shangguan Xi gave a soft "hmm" and nodded.

There was still a hint of reluctance in her eyes: "Are you going to be away for a while longer?"

Chen Feng hesitated for a moment, but nodded without denying it: "Yes, I'll leave in a couple of days, for a few months at the shortest, and half a year at the longest."

Upon receiving this answer, Shangguan Xi's eyes flickered with emotion, but in the end, it all boiled down to one sentence: "I'll wait for you."

Chen Feng lowered his head and gently kissed Shangguan Xi's fair forehead before turning to leave.

Shangguan Xi watched Chen Feng's figure walk further and further away until the door closed, cutting off her view, before she looked away.

"A few months..."

Shangguan Xi muttered to herself, her fingers gently touching her red lips, a smile playing on her lips, lost in thought.

Until half an hour later.

Then there was another knock on the door.

Shangguan Xi stepped forward and opened the door, where she saw Shangguan Meng and Shangguan Lin standing outside with smiles on their faces, each holding several bags.

Especially Shangguan Meng, whose face was full of a doting smile, made Shangguan Xi a little embarrassed, so she could only take the initiative to break the ice:

"What are you doing standing outside? Come in quickly!"

Upon hearing Shangguan Xi's words, the two then entered the room.

Shangguan Lin placed the late-night snack on the table, looked around but didn't see anyone, then looked at Shangguan Xi and asked:

"He's gone?"

"Ah."

Shangguan Xi nodded, a slightly embarrassed expression on her face, and lowered her head, not daring to meet Shangguan Lin's gaze.

This made Shangguan Lin sigh slightly.

How is my sister supposed to deal with those women around Chen Feng in this state...?

"Xiaomeng, what are you doing?"

Shangguan Xi turned her head and looked at Shangguan Meng with a strange expression. Shangguan Meng was touching the bed like a cat checking its nest.

"what?"

When Shangguan Meng was called, she looked up and got off the bed with an embarrassed expression. However, the moment she met Shangguan Xi's gaze, her embarrassment quickly turned into teasing.

"Second sister, I didn't know you were like a desiccant."

"Desiccant? What desiccant?"

Shangguan Xi looked puzzled.

However, Shangguan Lin couldn't help but burst out laughing, which made Shangguan Xi even more puzzled.

He then turned his questioning gaze toward his elder sister, Shangguan Lin, as if seeking an answer.

Shangguan Lin didn't hide anything and whispered something in Shangguan Xi's ear.

As Shangguan Xi listened, her face grew redder and redder. By the time Shangguan Lin finished speaking, Shangguan Xi's originally fair face was as red as a ripe apple.

"You little brat! Where did you hear all this nonsense?! I'll teach you a lesson!"

"Ah!!! Big sister, save me!"

"Don't run! No one can save you today!!!"

"No! Second sister, I was wrong!"

"late!"

Watching Shangguan Xi and Shangguan Meng playfully bickering, Shangguan Lin's smile slowly faded. She went to the balcony alone and looked at a small flowerpot on the balcony.

That was what she brought; it contained only one flower, a red rose that would "never fade."

Shangguan Lin reached out and placed her hand on the stem of the artificial flower, seemingly wanting to pull it out of the flowerpot. However, after thinking for a moment, she let go and put the flowerpot back in its original position without making any further moves.

"Big sister! Come on over for a late-night snack! It'll get cold if you don't eat soon!" Shangguan Meng's voice came from behind.

"Oh, here it comes."

Shangguan Lin replied, her gaze sweeping over the artificial flowers in the flowerpot again before turning away and walking towards the table.

"Hurry up and eat, big sister, or Xiaomeng will eat yours too."

"Second sister! I can't possibly eat that much!"

"Look at you, eating with your mouth all greasy! I'm afraid you'll eat the whole table!"

"Second sister! Eldest sister, look at second sister! She's slandering me!"

"Alright, alright, stop fooling around and eat quickly."

……

night.

Amy stood at the gate of the private villa, glancing around every now and then, as if waiting for someone.

She wore a white wool shawl, which made her stand out in the darkness.
