Chapter 62: Li Qingqing's Gift, I, We Continue

~8 min read 1,450 words

Li Qingqing grabbed Ye Bai's hand!

Soft!

Smooth!

This was the first thought that popped into Ye Bai's head.

What is Li Qingqing trying to do?!

Is she really drunk?

Or perhaps, his act of deleting Li Qingqing half a year ago didn't actually create a rift between the two of them.

Could they go back to being the friends they once were, who could talk about anything?

"Come, come with me... I said, when you returned, I would give you a gift," Li Qingqing said.

"So, there really is a gift..."

Ye Bai was taken aback.

There was a faint sense of disappointment in his heart.

The young girl probably just wanted to fulfill a promise, right?

It had been a whole half year.

Time can naturally dilute anything, including feelings.

"Are we... leaving the city?"

Li Qingqing pulled him all the way to the city gate.

A look of confusion flashed in Ye Bai's eyes.

What kind of gift requires leaving the city to be given to him?

"Brother Ye, you're here? You're a bit late today; is something the matter?"

But there was no time to think too much.

There weren't many people leaving the city at this hour, so there was no need to queue.

Huang Weiguo and Chen Zhenyao, who were leaning against the wall resting as usual, saw him immediately and shouted from afar.

As Junbu Zhanshi, they didn't yet know about the sensation Ye Bai had caused in the city today.

"Oh ho, who is this... little sister-in-law?"

"Brother Ye, you're something else! You're the best!"

Then they saw Li Qingqing.

Especially seeing the two of them holding hands the whole time.

The two of them immediately started winking and gesturing at Ye Bai!

They might as well have said, no wonder you wouldn't go to Heaven on Earth, it turns out you have such a beautiful little girlfriend! And here we were, wanting to show you the ropes!

"Little sister-in-law, let me introduce myself, my name is Huang Weiguo. Nice to meet you, this is a small gift for our first meeting.

It's nothing special, I just didn't expect Brother Ye to bring you out today."

"Little sister-in-law, my name is Chen Zhenyao, you can just call me Brother Chen like Brother Ye does! I have a meeting gift for you too!"

Huang Weiguo and his companion enthusiastically gave Li Qingqing two meeting gifts.

"You two brothers..." Ye Bai was getting anxious and wanted to explain clearly.

He and Li Qingqing were at most just old acquaintances now!

Huang Weiguo and the other kept calling her little sister-in-law.

He didn't dare imagine what might happen.

Li Qingqing was publicly recognized as the Ice Mountain school beauty, and that wasn't just because of her personality...

"Thank you, Brother Huang, Brother Chen."

"I really like these meeting gifts!

Well, when I have time, Ye Bai and I will treat you both to a meal!"

But to Ye Bai's surprise, Li Qingqing not only accepted the two gifts at this moment, but also responded to Huang Weiguo and Chen Zhenyao.

The kind where she squinted her eyes and smiled!

"Haha, alright then!" The two laughed heartily.

"Brother Ye, what were you trying to say just now?"

Only then did they ask Ye Bai with puzzled expressions.

"It's nothing..." Ye Bai replied.

His mind was filled with Li Qingqing's smile from just a moment ago!

What is going on?

Is this really the Li Qingqing he knows?

Could she be a Succubus in disguise?

But he had never heard of a Succubus managing to sneak into a city only to run back out!

"Brother Ye, you have to be careful when you go out of the city this time; you can't take risks like you used to, you know?"

"You're a genius, that's true, but little sister-in-law is just a regular Martial Arts High School graduate!" Huang Weiguo and Chen Zhenyao didn't suspect a thing and earnestly urged him.

Ye Bai wasn't listening at all and subconsciously agreed.

The confusion in his heart grew even deeper.

The two of them left the city.

"Ye Bai, this is the gift I'm giving you!"

Li Qingqing brought him into the Safe Zone, in front of a cluster of bushes.

Ye Bai finally knew what Li Qingqing's gift was.

An ice sculpture!

Inside the ice sculpture was a person with a face full of terror!

An acquaintance!

"Chen Fu?" Ye Bai's eyes narrowed immediately.

"Ye Bai, I was wrong, I was wrong!

I shouldn't have lied to everyone saying you were a thief, which is why Ning Feng challenged you to a duel!"

"I deserve to die. I clearly knew you were a Second Grade Martial Artist. For the sake of us being classmates, could you please let me go??"

"I don't want to stay in the Wilderness alone anymore. Today I was almost discovered by an Alien Beast!!"

Without waiting for Ye Bai to ask, Li Qingqing controlled the ice on Chen Fu's body to melt.

Chen Fu knelt on the ground immediately, begging for mercy with a face full of panic!

He would never forget what happened after the young girl came to his door to "check the water meter" yesterday!

He was wrong; everyone was wrong!

"So, that's how it is!"

Ye Bai only then realized that Li Qingqing's efforts over these past two days were far more than he had imagined.

It turned out the culprits were not just Yuan Hua and Ning Feng!

"You were sent out today?"

"Yes, yes, Ye Bai, please let me go back..."

He asked Chen Fu a question.

Ye Bai realized even more.

This morning, Li Qingqing arrived at the Martial Dao hall very late, not because she didn't care about his fight with Ning Feng.

It was because the young girl guessed from his attitude toward Yuan Hua that he didn't want to let off any of the culprits who caused Qin Churan's injury, so she found a way to send Chen Fu out!

It was unimaginable how much Li Qingqing had to pay to get Chen Fu out, given that Huang Weiguo and other Junbu Zhanshi were stationed at the city gate...

"Thank you."

He looked at the young girl again.

Ye Bai thanked her sincerely!

He hadn't even had the chance to thank the young girl for Li Qingqing asking Jiang Renyi to treat Qin Ayi and paying the medical expenses in advance.

And yet, over these past two days, the young girl had done so much more for him...

"Dummy!"

"I don't want your thanks!"

Li Qingqing rolled her eyes, still acting out of character.

"Ah, this..." Ye Bai didn't know what to do.

His mind was full of confusion, along with the thought that Li Qingqing was so cute.

"Hug me!" Li Qingqing said through gritted teeth.

She was actually very panicked.

She didn't know if Ye Bai felt the same way about her as she did about him.

Half a year had passed, and she didn't know if Ye Bai had changed.

But she really didn't want to miss out again; she was truly fed up with the life of the past half-year without Ye Bai...

"Huh?!"

And this time, Ye Bai understood!

He widened his eyes.

"If you don't want to, forget it." The young girl's courage was exhausted at this moment.

"I want to!"

Ye Bai hesitated no longer and pulled the young girl into his arms!

Did he like Li Qingqing?

Before this, he wasn't sure.

Because he had never been in a relationship.

But when Li Qingqing said the two words "Hug me," his heartbeat accelerated crazily!

He finally realized why he had felt uncomfortable in his heart so many times!

It turned out he had long since fallen for the young girl...

But it made sense.

Any man would find it hard not to be moved by a woman who stays with you every day, is beautiful enough to be a crime, and has so many common topics with you!

Ye Bai felt the softness in his arms and breathed in that familiar fragrance of the young girl; he was practically intoxicated.

"Ye, Ye Bai, congratulations on winning the beauty's heart...

If there's nothing else, I, I'll be going now?"

An ill-timed voice suddenly rang out, ruining the incredibly sweet atmosphere here.

"I, I..."

The young girl, as the effects of the alcohol had faded, finally realized what she had done, and her face turned red enough to drip blood.

Subconsciously, she wanted to let Ye Bai release her.

"Pfft!"

With a single spear strike, Ye Bai sent Chen Fu to the Upper Grade Heaven!

"Let us continue..."
