Thief Game: Starting with Obtaining the Kidd Card

and……

Chen Feng's gaze swept over a certain flat surface, "Ace, I can't afford it..."

Seemingly feeling insulted by Chen Feng's gaze, Shangguan Meng was about to question him on the spot, but Chen Feng spoke first and changed the subject.

"Where's Xiaoxi? And Miss Lin? I haven't seen them."

"Hmm... my eldest sister went out early this morning, I wonder what she's doing."

"As for my second sister... our new bread machine arrived last night, but there was a bit of a problem with the transport at the port. My second sister went there last night, and it was already quite late. She probably found a hotel to rest at, right? Anyway, she hasn't come back yet."

"I see..."

Chen Feng nodded, but then suddenly realized, "What did you say? Xiao Xi didn't come back all night yesterday?"

"Yeah, what's wrong?"

Shangguan Meng seemed quite puzzled by Chen Feng's sudden reaction.

"Why are you reacting so much? It was so late, Second Sister must have found a place to stay near the port. Is your expression one of confusion or shock? If you're worried, you can call her..."

Beep, beep—

A beeping sound came from the direction of the door, followed by a mechanical voice announcing "Password correct."

"It must be my second sister who's back."

With a smile on her face, Shangguan Meng casually placed the potato chips on the table, ignoring Chen Feng, who was still in shock.

If Xiaoxi only just got back now, then who was that person last night? Judging from Shangguan Meng's reaction, it's highly unlikely to be her, so...

The answer is obvious.

The door was pushed open, and Shangguan Xi's voice rang out: "I'm back!"

"Second sister!"

Shangguan Meng launched herself onto Shangguan Xi, the impact causing Shangguan Xi to stumble. However, her sense of balance, honed through years of yoga practice, allowed her to quickly regain her footing.

Shangguan Xi supported Shangguan Meng's lower back with one hand and said with a smile:

"Alright! How old are you? Why are you making such a fuss every day? Aren't you afraid people will laugh at you?"

"No matter how old I am, I'm still your sister..."

Shangguan Meng reluctantly got off Shangguan Xi, then her eyes darted around, and she said mysteriously:

"Second sister, guess what's extra in our house today?"

"What's extra? Did your new figurine arrive? Or did you go to the supermarket and buy two big bags of snacks?"

Shangguan Xi lowered her head to change her slippers and casually asked.

"None of those! Those are too basic, aren't they? Try to guess in a broader direction."

"What else could it be? It can't be that there's someone else in the house, can it?"

"Bingo! You got it right!" Shangguan Meng said with a big smile.

"There's really one more person? Who's here?" Shangguan Xi asked curiously.

But just then, a familiar male voice rang out from not far away: "Xiao Xi, it's been a long time..."

……

Chapter 471 Shangguan Lin's Departure

"Xiao Xi, it's been so long..."

The familiar voice reached Shangguan Xi's ears, leaving her stunned for two seconds in disbelief. She was still in a daze until Chen Feng's figure emerged from around the corner and appeared in her field of vision.

It wasn't until she saw Chen Feng smiling and opening his arms to her that she snapped out of her daze and excitedly threw herself into his arms.

"Cough...So excited?" Chen Feng wrapped his arms around Shangguan Xi to prevent her from falling, and jokingly remarked:

"Xiao Xi, have you gained weight? I can hardly carry you anymore."

No way!

Shangguan Xi buried her slightly flushed face in Chen Feng's arms, her eyes slightly closed, seemingly enjoying the moment.

"Hey! What are you doing? What are you doing? There's someone else here! I'm just a kid! Can't you be a little more considerate?"

The two hadn't been embracing for more than a few minutes when Shangguan Meng's voice rang out. She crossed her arms and looked at the two of them leaning against each other with a displeased expression.

Shangguan Xi blushed and jumped off Chen Feng, but still clung tightly to his arm as if afraid he would run away if she let go.

Shangguan Meng pouted and said, "Big sister was so farsighted! She hid away so early. If I had known this guy was coming, I would have left with big sister right away!"

"Big sister went out?" Shangguan Xi asked, puzzled.

"Yes, they went out early this morning, without saying what they were going to do."

Shangguan Meng replied casually, walked back to the sofa, picked up the potato chips she had put down earlier, and continued eating while watching TV.

Shangguan Xi didn't find anything strange, assuming that her eldest sister had some urgent business to attend to and needed to go out.

"Why did you suddenly come? Also, what's the deal with your notice? Have you decided to accept the challenge from that phantom thief Rattlesnake?" Shangguan Xi asked curiously, clinging to Chen Feng's arm.

"I guess so..." Chen Feng smiled and looked at Shangguan Xi: "After all, you always have to find something to do."

Chen Feng pulled Shangguan Xi to sit down on the sofa. Shangguan Xi sat obediently next to him, but her gaze lingered on him.

After settling down on the sofa, Chen Feng casually asked, "Hey, by the way, Xiao Xi, did you change rooms?"

"Change rooms?"

Shangguan Xi looked puzzled. Realizing that Chen Feng was referring to her bedroom, she turned to look at the bedroom doorway, shook her head, and said:

"No, Xiaomeng's bedroom is on the left, my older sister's bedroom is on the right, and mine is in the middle. We've never changed it."

"Hmm?" Chen Feng raised an eyebrow. If they didn't change rooms, then yesterday...

Shangguan Meng interjected at this moment: "It was the eldest sister. She accidentally spilled water on her bed last night, and since the second sister wasn't home, she stayed in her bedroom for the night."

"Hey?"

Shangguan Meng seemed to realize something, and turned to look at Chen Feng with a suspicious gaze:

"You didn't see your older sister when you came, did you? Did something unpleasant happen between you two?"

Shangguan Xi also looked at Chen Feng with a worried expression. If something unpleasant happened between Chen Feng and Shangguan Lin, it would definitely be the last thing she wanted to see. On one side was her older sister who had raised her since childhood, and on the other side was her lover. Being caught in the middle, she would naturally not feel good.

Seemingly sensing Shangguan Xi's worry, Chen Feng put his arm around her shoulder and gently patted her back to comfort her.

"No, how could that be? I was just curious about what she was doing."

"Oh."

Shangguan Meng didn't suspect anything, but grabbed another handful of potato chips and put them in her mouth, mumbling indistinctly:

"I don't know either. My older sister left in a hurry this morning, without saying where she was going or what she was doing. She hasn't even sent us a text message yet..."

Ding-dong-

They came as soon as they were told.

Shangguan Xi's phone, which was on the table, suddenly emitted a crisp text message notification sound.

"It's my eldest sister!"

Shangguan Meng was the first to notice the sender of the message, and quickly glanced at it while holding her phone in front of her face.

"What did Big Sister say?" Shangguan Xi looked at Shangguan Meng with curiosity.

"My elder sister said..." Shangguan Meng frowned slightly, raising her head to look at Shangguan Xi and Chen Feng:

"She said she had something important to do and needed to go out, so she wouldn't be back for a few days, and also..."

Shangguan Meng glanced at Chen Feng and said, "Big sister told us to listen to this guy and to help him if he needs any assistance."

"Huh? What's the rush? You're leaving for several days without even saying goodbye?"

Shangguan Xi looked puzzled.

In her memory, her eldest sister had never left without saying goodbye like this before, and hadn't returned for several days.

Chen Feng's expression was somewhat subtle, but he didn't say anything. He simply smiled and suggested:

"We've been apart for so long, how about we go out for a meal to celebrate?"

"Um--"

Upon hearing the word "eat," Shangguan Meng immediately stopped chewing potato chips, her face visibly lighting up with excitement as she pricked up her ears to listen carefully to what Chen Feng would say next.

Noticing Shangguan Meng's reaction, Chen Feng couldn't help but find it amusing and said, "Then... how about that seafood barbecue buffet that's on the next street?"

"Mmm! Yes, yes! Yes, yes!"

Shangguan Meng nodded vigorously, then looked at Shangguan Xi with anticipation.

Shangguan Xi naturally wouldn't refuse; after all, as long as Chen Feng was with her, it didn't matter what she ate.

"Yay! I'm going to change!" Shangguan Meng jumped off the sofa happily, satisfied with the result, and ran towards her bedroom.

"You should change your clothes too. You're dressed too formally; it doesn't look like you're going out to eat." Shangguan Xi reached out and took off Chen Feng's coat.

Chen Feng did not refuse and let her take his coat.

"There are clothes I bought for you in the second closet of my bedroom. You can go and try them on. I bought a few more because I didn't know which style you would like."

Shangguan Xi spoke with a smile.

"So thoughtful!" Chen Feng replied with a smile, his steps quick as he headed towards the bedroom.

Shangguan Xi then carried Chen Feng's coat to the coat rack, preparing to hang it up.

But just then, a long, curly hair about half a meter long caught her attention at the neckline of her clothes.

"This is……"

Shangguan Xi picked up her hair with a puzzled look. Even in the bright surroundings, she could easily tell that it was a long, brown, curly hairstyle.

“Xiao Xi…”
