Chapter 1621: What Other Secrets Haven't You Told Me?

"That Xiao Xiao is my good medicine for healing!"

"Heh, that is not a good medicine at all, but a poison! Soon, you will understand this truth!"

Jiang Chenghao did not take Xu Zixin's words to heart; he checked the time and discovered the movie was about to start.

His brows furrowed slightly, and Jiang Chenghao stepped away.

His movements were very decisive, giving Xu Zixin no chance to hold him back.

Xu Zixin just stood where she was, blankly watching Jiang Chenghao's back.

Then...

She suddenly curled her lips, and her gaze became fierce.

Jiang Chenghao walked with hurried steps.

Because he had encountered an unlucky person, a layer of coldness still hung on his face.

But when he caught sight of Xu Xiaoxiao, that layer of coldness instantly vanished.

At this moment, Xu Xiaoxiao was holding a bucket of popcorn, standing in front of the big screen.

She looked left and right from time to time, but completely ignored what was behind her.

Therefore, when Jiang Chenghao tapped Xu Xiaoxiao on the shoulder from behind, Xu Xiaoxiao was startled.

Looking at Xu Xiaoxiao's slightly pale face, Jiang Chenghao apologized hurriedly: "Sorry, I scared you."

Xu Xiaoxiao shook her head quickly, linked one arm through Jiang Chenghao's, and whispered: "Cheng Hao, someone is following me!"

Jiang Chenghao was not as nervous as Xu Xiaoxiao; it seemed as if he had known about this matter all along.

He even patted Xu Xiaoxiao's head and comforted her: "Don't be afraid, those are people sent to protect you."

This result made Xu Xiaoxiao's eyes widen.

After reacting for a moment, she asked hurriedly: "You arranged it?"

"No, it was found by Li Beijue; they are very reliable."

After hearing this, Xu Xiaoxiao's shoulders relaxed, and her whole body was no longer stiff.

And once she relaxed, she couldn't help but chide him: "Then you should have told me; you scared me to death."

"Sorry, I thought you wouldn't notice; Li Beijue said they are well-trained, and also..."

Jiang Chenghao's voice paused abruptly, and subsequently, he revealed a thoughtful expression.

Seeing this, Xu Xiaoxiao asked: "What's wrong?"

"I am thinking that they might have revealed a flaw on purpose, so that the person hiding in the shadows would think they had found an opportunity."

After hearing this speculation, Xu Xiaoxiao raised an eyebrow and asked: "By the sound of it, you don't know Li Beijue's entire plan either?"

"I knew it originally, but Li Beijue likely had new discoveries on his end and changed the plan at the last minute, but hasn't had time to notify everyone yet."

"Sigh, actually, the person you should have notified most is me."

If Xu Xiaoxiao knew a bit more, she wouldn't have to be so worried and afraid.

But in Jiang Chenghao's view, the less Xu Xiaoxiao knew, the better.

Because...

The more one understands, the more uneasy one becomes.

Jiang Chenghao suppressed the frustration in his heart and then said to Xu Xiaoxiao with a smile: "If you feel awkward, I will have them stay further away from you."

"Since they are friends and not enemies, then I'm not afraid; it's fine if they are closer."

As Xu Xiaoxiao said this, she lifted a smiling face, and her eyes regained their liveliness.

Jiang Chenghao was infected by her smile; he raised his hand and flicked the tip of her nose.

This small, intimate gesture reminded Xu Xiaoxiao of something.

She let out an "Oh," and then asked: "Then does that mean we can't do any intimate things?"

Well, with someone watching, actions were indeed a bit inconvenient.

But it didn't matter; Jiang Chenghao had his own solution: "We can be intimate when we get home; anyway, they won't follow us home."

Jiang Chenghao answered with a straight face.

But the content of what he said... was not very proper.

Xu Xiaoxiao was embarrassed; she lowered her eyes and said: "I wasn't asking you to teach me how to do it, but asking you to be more low-key."

"Rather than being low-key, it's better to..."

Jiang Chenghao's tone paused.

His pause caused Xu Xiaoxiao to look up.

And it was precisely this look upward that caused Xu Xiaoxiao's red lips to be kissed.

This kiss was very swift; Jiang Chenghao succeeded in his sneak kiss and then stood up straight.

Afterward, he continued with a straight face: "As long as the movement is fast enough, there is a possibility of not being discovered."

This... what kind of bizarre conclusion is that!

Xu Xiaoxiao was furious and stomped her feet where she stood.

Jiang Chenghao was amused by her little appearance.

But Jiang Chenghao also knew that if he continued to tease her, someone would be angry enough to bite.

To avoid leaving hard-to-fade tooth marks on his body, Jiang Chenghao changed the subject: "Let's go, the movie is about to start."

Xu Xiaoxiao stared at Jiang Chenghao silently, looked around, and then walked ahead holding the popcorn.

When she first sat down, Xu Xiaoxiao was still distracted.

She was pondering whether those people secretly protecting her had also followed her inside.

But gradually, the exciting content of the movie attracted Xu Xiaoxiao; she stopped looking around and focused on watching the screen.

At the moment in the movie when the protagonist was nearly finished off by the villain, Xu Xiaoxiao gasped.

She even subconsciously dodged to the side.

Just from this dodge, Xu Xiaoxiao discovered that Jiang Chenghao's eyes were unfocused.

Clearly, his attention was not on the movie.

In his mind, he was definitely wandering in the void.

Xu Xiaoxiao pursed her lips, then placed her small hand over Jiang Chenghao's large palm.

Jiang Chenghao was indeed thinking about other things.

But the warmth on the back of his hand pulled his consciousness back.

He turned his head to look beside him and saw Xu Xiaoxiao's clear, black-and-white eyes staring straight at him.

"Cheng Hao, is there something you haven't told me?"

Xu Xiaoxiao was very sensitive, and her observational skills were astonishing.

Even the smallest detail could allow her to detect signs that something was wrong.

Jiang Chenghao knew of Xu Xiaoxiao's ability.

He didn't say anything, just shook his head calmly.

Yet Xu Xiaoxiao was not fooled.

She leaned her body forward, her voice filled with seduction: "You look like you have something on your mind."

Jiang Chenghao knew that if he didn't say something, he wouldn't be able to dispel Xu Xiaoxiao's suspicions, so he leaned toward her ear.

Then he whispered: "I was just fantasizing about how to blow that bastard's head off after catching him."

Huh?

Xu Xiaoxiao stared into Jiang Chenghao's eyes, feeling that he was joking with her.

But Jiang Chenghao's expression was very serious, with no intention of joking at all.

The two looked at each other for a moment before Xu Xiaoxiao asked with uncertainty: "Since when did you become so violent?"

"Some things, and some people, can only be dealt with through violent means; they won't listen to reason."

This was true, and Xu Xiaoxiao felt the same way.

Xu Xiaoxiao didn't dwell on what Jiang Chenghao was really thinking anymore.

She just patted Jiang Chenghao's head and said earnestly: "Fantasize about something else; this is too violent."

Jiang Chenghao followed her lead and began to stare straight at Xu Xiaoxiao.

His gaze made Xu Xiaoxiao confused, and she asked awkwardly: "Why are you looking at me like that?"

"I am fantasizing about something else."

Jiang Chenghao's eyes were deep and held a hidden meaning.

And Xu Xiaoxiao... understood what he meant!

Xu Xiaoxiao wanted to tell him to stop while he was ahead.

But when the words reached her lips, Xu Xiaoxiao changed her mind.
