Chapter 324: Extra. Maomao X Xiang Yichu 2

Extra. Maomao X Xiang Yichu 2

Maomao saw Xiang Yichu leave with a dark face, she couldn't care about anything else, she threw down those male models and went after him.

But no matter how she explained along the way, Xiang Yichu remained silent.

Thinking Xiang Yichu was angry, Maomao wilted, but she still muttered that he was stingy—it's just those male models she swiped his card for; she's been making money lately and paying him back.

It's just that her earnings can't keep up with her spending; she'll pay it back someday, worst case she'll pay double for those male models' money—what's there to be angry about?

But Xiang Yichu said he wasn't angry at her.

Now she couldn't figure out Xiang Yichu's thoughts.

If he's not angry at her, why is he ignoring her?

But this question has no answer, because Xiang Yichu avoided her for about half a month.

During that half month, he still cooked for her as usual, managed her daily life, and didn't cut off her pocket money.

But for some reason, he often stared at her in a daze.

One day he told her, if she ever likes someone, she should tell him first so he can prepare.

Although she didn't know what he was preparing, she laughed and said, "How could I possibly like a human? I'm a spirit monster; liking someone means undergoing heavenly tribulation—I don't want to become lightning-struck wood!"

After she answered that question, Xiang Yichu returned to how he was before.

Maomao thought he was a bit strange, but she's carefree; once Xiang Yichu was fine, she turned around and forgot about it.

After that, there were no more cold wars between them, and the days passed like that.

Now it's fine, but this mission actually takes place at that bar—isn't this just bringing up old scores again!

What did that strange expression of Xiang Yichu's just now mean?

Maomao hurriedly caught up, jumped in front of Xiang Yichu, walking backward, "Hey, Ice Mountain, what are you doing? Don't be like that; that thing happened over a year ago, you're not allowed to give me the cold shoulder—I don't like that feeling of you ignoring me."

Xiang Yichu's steps hesitated imperceptibly, his gaze locked on her face, then he asked in a low voice, "Why don't you like it?"

Maomao was about to speak, but she didn't know why she didn't like it, so she muttered, "Yeah, why would I not like Ice Mountain ignoring me?"

Hearing her mutter to herself, Xiang Yichu sighed helplessly, "Alright, stop thinking—your head might burst into flames, but I will never ignore you, never."

Maomao's eyes lit up, she suddenly stopped, and Xiang Yichu, caught off guard, almost bumped into her; he instinctively wrapped his arms around her waist, steadied himself, then immediately let go.

He stepped back and said, "Be careful—what would I do if I bumped into you?"

Maomao ignored what he said, excitedly cupped his face, making him look at her, blinking as she asked, "You promise?"

The cool, delicate touch added a bit of comfort to the hot summer, making one reluctant to let go.

Xiang Yichu's mouth twitched slightly, giving her an affirmative answer, "Mm, I keep my word."

Even during those days of the cold war a year ago, he had already figured everything out.

But what can liking do?

Liking doesn't necessarily mean one must obtain it.

She fears pain, and she doesn't want to become lightning-struck wood.

Then he just needs to guard her.

So that day he told her, if she ever likes someone, she must tell him, and he will prepare to give his all to protect her.

He never forces her to do what she dislikes, nor does he bear to.

Since she said she dislikes him ignoring her, he will never ignore her again.

Their interaction was fully observed by the three people behind them.

The three exchanged a smile.

Actually, the authorities are confused while the onlookers see clearly; besides Xiang Yichu, Wang Dongqing and Maomao also noticed his different thoughts earlier.

Right, Maomao also eventually reacted.

As for Tushan Jiu, she doesn't even need to be counted—she's basically a bug; what could escape her eyes?

They've even made a plan for how Maomao can safely survive the heavenly tribulation.

Everything is prepared; all that's missing is for Maomao to bloom.

But she hasn't mentioned this to anyone.

Because this cause and effect needs to transition naturally between them.

She can just be a brick; when needed, she can be pulled out.

Lost in thought, several people had already gotten into the car, which drove out of the alley toward the bar.

When they arrived, Zhang Xuefeng and He Mingrui (Zhang Xuefeng's disciple) were both there.

He Mingrui had encountered a case a few years earlier, personally witnessing them fight fierce ghosts, draw fire, draw lightning, and the classic 'building jump'; he had since become a signatory of the confidentiality agreement.

Today, the bar was also the first to call them, saying several girls had consecutively fainted for no apparent reason inside the bar.

Checking the surveillance showed no warning signs; those girls were dancing and then just fainted.

Moreover, those girls were sent to the hospital, and to this day no cause for their fainting has been found.

He Mingrui saw Maomao also come and shrank his neck.

He once thought Maomao had some opinion of him, but later he realized she was the wooden doll he had put in an evidence bag and taken back to the police station, which made him feel his worldview completely shattered.

Moreover, Maomao put him in a bag and beat him up, saying it was revenge for that 'bagging' incident.

So now, whenever he sees Maomao, he feels afraid, yet inexplicably wants to look at her more.

So when he stole a second glance at Maomao, he met Xiang Yichu's cool gaze as he stepped forward.

Xiang Yichu raised an eyebrow at him, as if asking what he wanted to do.

He Mingrui gave an embarrassed smile, quickly waved his hand silently, indicating he was fine.

Tushan Jiu and Maomao were in the middle of handing over with Zhang Xuefeng, completely unaware of the silent exchange between the two.

After getting a rough idea, hearing about it it indeed seemed quite strange, and after they got out of the car they felt the abnormal yin energy here.

There really is a ghost.

No longer delaying, Tushan Jiu lets Zhang Xuefeng and the others all pull out of the bar; only they need to go in.

Zhang Xuefeng and the others had already sealed the bar after the incident, and only after confirming it was not man-made did they notify the office; thus the entire bar is now empty.

After the five entered, the yin energy inside the bar was thick.

Wang Dongqing Qianqian'er said: "Oh dear, with so much yin energy you can't even see the road, wifey be careful, Mumu take the lead—you're not a regular here, are you? You know the place well~"

Mumu: "...... Wang Xiaoqian'er, are you looking for a beating?"

As she said this, she subconsciously glanced at Xiang Yichu's expression; seeing his complexion unchanged, she secretly let out a sigh of relief.

But the next second, a voice sounded: "Little beauty, how is it you?"

Mumu and the others, hearing the voice, looked toward it, and gradually a man's silhouette emerged from the thick yin energy.

"Are you that...... fox scholar?"
