Chapter 64

“Because Qingfeng made me a hamburger, I wanted to reward you with holding hands...”

Anbi, rarely showing a guilty expression, puffed out one cheek and turned her head away from Ye Qingfeng, speaking in a soft, weak voice.

“Hnmm...”

The moment Anbi finished speaking, a palm strike landed on her head—though the sudden attack didn’t hurt, she still instinctively let out a soft squeak.

“It’s definitely some movie cliché.”

Ye Qingfeng, seeing Anbi—who always wore a blank expression—suddenly display a uniquely girlish pout, felt his heart pound hard; to say he wasn’t moved would be a lie, but her tone was simply awkward to hear.

Hmph! Ye Qingfeng felt a flicker of pride at Anbi’s answer—but only a flicker!

But Anbi really is easy to fool! She knows full well everything she bought today gets reimbursed by Nico, spending Dingni’s money, flirting with his sister!

Hehe! So satisfying!

He’d just heard Anbi say the word “Ni”! No doubt she meant Nico-sis made her do this?!?!

Confusing, but awesome! Do it more often! Don’t spare him!

By the way, Anbi’s adorable face paired with that soft voice felt like a kitten using its plush paw to knead his heart—suddenly making his otherwise calm inner world itch.

“Mm.”

Anbi instantly returned to her expressionless state, her tone devoid of any emotion.

Though the pouting Anbi made his heart itch, the usual Anbi was still more pleasing to look at—and of course, still adorable.

“Fine, your answer is acceptable.” Ye Qingfeng tossed the hamburger candy into the shopping cart. “Let’s go pay and head home.”

“Mm.”

Anbi had not let go of Ye Qingfeng’s sleeve since they started shopping; now that she saw the hamburger candy in the cart, she couldn’t wait to take a bite and obediently followed him toward the checkout.

On the way, Ye Qingfeng mentally reviewed what else he needed to buy, and just before reaching the checkout, he remembered he hadn’t bought soy sauce.

“Anbi, watch the cart—I’ll grab the soy sauce and be right back!”

Ye Qingfeng turned and walked off, but took only one step before Anbi grabbed him. Her voice came from behind: “No! Go together!”

He was successfully defeated by stubborn Anbi—but he wouldn’t give up!

He just wanted to pay and leave quickly, hold Anbi’s tiny hand, run over alone to get the soy sauce, then run back—it would clearly be faster!

He couldn’t push the cart ahead while Anbi tugged his sleeve behind him—that was already attention-grabbing enough. Just imagine that scene: before they even left the supermarket, their video would be all over the web...

“Listen carefully—I’ll only teach you once. Don’t you want to eat the delicious hamburger faster? Won’t it be quicker if I run over alone? You stay here and watch the cart, keep an eye on the delicious hamburger so the shady clerk doesn’t steal it!”

The name of this hamburger-shaped candy is literally “Delicious Hamburger...”

Anbi blinked at Ye Qingfeng, then slowly released her grip, lowering her eyes to the Delicious Hamburger in the cart as if afraid it might slip away unnoticed.

Huh? You're not really letting go? So obviously, compared to him, the hamburger matters more!

Ye Qingfeng only mentally grumbled, but suddenly wondered—if one day...

Both the hamburger and he fell into the water, would Anbi save him or the hamburger?

It’s definitely him... Oh no!

The more he thought about it, the more convinced he became that the hamburger was Anbi’s true love!

Ye Qingfeng quickly halted his wild thoughts and sprinted toward the condiment aisle, fearing that if he kept thinking, the scene would turn into Anbi sitting on the shore eating the hamburger while he slowly sank underwater...

After smoothly drifting past two corners, he reached the condiment aisle and slowed his pace, gazing at the wide array of seasonings.

Salt? No! Sugar? No! Soy sauce must be on the other side of the shelf.

Ye Qingfeng walked around the corner of the shelf—and immediately saw a little girl in a maid outfit charging straight at him, less than a meter away.

At this distance, in this situation—is this the legendary corner encounter with a girl trope?

He’d somehow stumbled upon a scenario so rare that even after passing a crowded corner a hundred times, you’d never see it?

In such a situation, only two outcomes were possible: First, the girl would crash straight into his arms, and he could catch her.

Second, she’d hit him and fall backward—then he’d grab her hand and pull her into his embrace!

At such close range, Ye Qingfeng had still managed to devise two solutions—his mind had clearly changed a lot... In the past, he wouldn’t have thought this much.

He’d have simply tried to dodge, or if hit, stayed silent and walked away without looking back.

After all, how could Ye Qingfeng know the girl wouldn’t try to extort him?

Just as Ye Qingfeng opened his arms to catch the girl, a notification sounded in his mind simultaneously.

【Ding! Accessible character: Kelin Wicks】

【Initial affection...】

The girl charging toward Ye Qingfeng collided with him exactly as planned—but something went wrong...

“Ugh—!!”

Kelin’s head slammed hard into Ye Qingfeng’s chest; he flew backward like a cut kite and landed two meters away.

No... she’s so strong! His chest hurt! And why, when seeing someone about to collide, would you lower your head and close your eyes?

【Affection: 5%】

(Because adorable little Kelin has kindness for every stranger! So cute! So tempting to tease! I wish for a 5-star form!!)

(By the way, all the little girls released lately have high combat power—Anbi and Qingyi are obvious, Koreda’s PV is insane, Mao You might be slightly weaker.)

(Cangjiao’s power scales with appetite; Kelin is apologizing while holding a buzzsaw taller than him...)

Ye Qingfeng stared blankly at the ceiling, seriously doubting he had a “melee always loses” buff.

Whether it was Anbi or Qingyi—or now even this random little girl—

Kelin had rushed here because she’d just received a mission and needed to get back fast; she hadn’t expected someone to suddenly appear around the corner and had been terrified!

She couldn’t stop in time, so she instinctively lowered her head and shut her eyes.

Kelin felt a slight headache and slowly opened her eyes—there lay a man on the ground, staring blankly and dazedly at the ceiling.

Kelin, encountering this for the first time, was utterly panicked; she instinctively wanted to call for Mr. Leikan, but after glancing around and realizing he wasn’t there, she turned back to the fallen Ye Qingfeng and cried out in distress:

“Ah! What do I do! What do I do!!”

Ye Qingfeng heard the panicked voice and seriously suspected she wanted to kill him without witnesses—why else wouldn’t she help him up?

Did she want him to lie here, eyes wide open, dead?

Ah! So painful! Just want to die...
