Chapter 420

"I just saw her shopping at the mall across the street a moment ago, how did she disappear in the blink of an eye?"

Yao Qing tugged at his somewhat stuffy collar and looked around. He was supposed to be with that girl Qiao Xinying today, but somehow he'd disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Tsk, it's almost autumn, but the weather is still as hot as midsummer.

Yao Qing wiped the sweat from her neck with a handkerchief, looking at the blazing sun high overhead with displeasure.

The glaring sunlight and scorching temperature made him sweat profusely, so much so that his already not-so-loose T-shirt clung to his skin.

"I wish I hadn't dressed as a woman today."

Yao Qing shook her head helplessly, dragging her two pairs of prosthetic breasts across her chest with a look of disgust.

He shouldn't have dressed as a woman if he had known the weather would be like this. Besides, the prosthetic breasts he chose today seem a bit too big.

The sweat-soaked T-shirt clung tightly to the breast prosthesis, causing the curves of the two breasts to be outlined, which seemed a bit too eye-catching.

"Hey! That sexy silver-haired lady over there~ wanna go sing karaoke with us guys?"

"Miss, you look so hot! Look how much you're sweating, your chest is almost showing! Want some of my big popsicle to cool down?"

"Hahaha, you two are so naughty! You're going to scare the girl like that!~~"

The noisy chatter pulled Yao Qing back to her senses. Already feeling annoyed by the hot weather and high temperatures around her, Yao Qing suddenly burst into laughter when she saw the group of thugs trying to chat her up.

Well, here comes the fun! He's not in a great mood right now, so this is finally a chance to vent.

Yao Qing carefully examined the group of thugs approaching him and grinned. His sinister smile, combined with his scarlet pupils, looked extremely eerie.

The thugs, who had previously thought they had struck it lucky to have met such a beautiful woman, suddenly felt a chill in their hearts. The moment they met Yao Qing's gaze, they felt an inexplicable sense of fear envelop them.

"Since we still have some free time, let's play a game. I hope the brothers won't let me down."

Yao Qing stretched out her small hand and gently moved it along her plump, white thighs, occasionally lifting the hem of her black-trimmed floral JK skirt to reveal a glimpse of her dark skin.

A broad smile graced her delicate and pretty face, but a chilling smile crept across the corner of her lips, making her look like a demon.

"Hey, you guy with the tattoo on your face, your sun protection shirt looks pretty good."

Yao Qing teasingly beckoned to the group in front of her, signaling them to have some fun...

.

"Miss, we've bought so much stuff today, it's about time we headed back."

"Madam is still waiting for us to go back. She'll come out when we're free this afternoon... Huh???"

Roland, carrying several heavy bags, obediently followed behind Qiao Xinying.

But suddenly, as if he had seen something, he froze on the spot, looking at the two people who had just crossed the pedestrian crossing not far ahead with some curiosity and some doubt.

"Roland, what's wrong?"

When Qiao Xinying saw Roland standing there in a daze, she couldn't help but ask a question.

However, Roland was right; they had almost finished shopping for today.

Although I don't know why my mother specifically asked me to shop at this shopping center, since she mentioned it, I just need to do as she says. It's probably because my mother likes the products here.

Hmm, but thinking about it carefully, she seemed to have seen a silver-haired woman talking to her mother in her room this morning.

Is she her mother's friend? In her memory, her mother doesn't seem to have any female friends with long silver hair and extremely hot figures.

"Miss, I just saw guy A, the student I told you about who helped me out of a predicament at the morning market."

"It must be him, there's no mistake. I have a pretty strong impression of his back."

Roland put down his luggage, stood on tiptoe, and looked at the sidewalk in the distance.

That guy must be the guy A from the street we met that day. There seemed to be a girl with him. Was she his girlfriend?

"Really? Then let's go take a look. Didn't you want to introduce him to me before?"

Qiao Xinying smiled gently, knowing that Roland wanted to greet and thank the other person.

Since that's the case, she'll go take a look with Roland.

After all, she was somewhat interested in a man who could earn such high praise from Roland.

Chapter 79: Su Qian Likes Excitement

Wu Liang's face was extremely ugly, so gloomy it looked like ink could drip from it.

He and Su Qian had already experienced several dangerous incidents on their way to the library.

How could flowerpots suddenly fall from the balcony of an 18-story building like meteorites in broad daylight?

Even if this incident of objects being thrown from a high-rise building could be forcibly explained as a pet accidentally bumping into a potted plant while playing on the balcony, causing it to fall, it would still be a case of misinterpreting the situation.

So how did a car "coincidentally" run over a pebble while he and Su Qian were walking peacefully on the sidewalk, and how did that pebble "coincidentally" and precisely target his head, intending to blow it off?

Flowerpots crashing down from the eighteenth floor, and stones being propelled by car wheels, traveled at speeds almost indistinguishable from missiles.

Damn it, if it weren't for his superhuman reflexes and physical abilities, those two blows would have sent him straight to hell to have tea with the King of Hell.

Su Qian must be half-dead from fright right now; how could a normal girl withstand such a shock?

Whether it was the initial wardrobe collapse, or the subsequent falling objects and head-on stone attacks, three bizarre events occurred in less than an hour that were enough to threaten their lives.

There's no way to cover up these things with coincidences and accidents. Su Qian isn't stupid; on the contrary, she's very clever and shrewd. Naturally, she can find some clues in the matter.

"If I had known it would turn out like this, I should have broken up with Su Qian sooner."

Thinking of this, Wu Liang covered his forehead and sighed deeply. He didn't really want to drag Su Qian into this.

Last time, it was simply because there were too many people and it was difficult to avoid, but this time is significantly different from last time.

Originally, he only intended to go out with Su Qian to stroll around and have some food, and he didn't have any specific goals to achieve.

Rather than letting Su Qian face danger with him, it's better to let Su Qian go back first so he can deal with the impending misfortune alone.

After all, he couldn't predict how misfortune would befall him, nor could he guarantee that he could protect Su Qian every time.

If Su Qian gets injured because of his mistake, he'll probably be hung up and beaten like a punching bag by that old Su Chengluo.

"Wu Liang, do you want to read the light novel 'Roland Everlasting Garden'? I think it's very popular recently, and I heard there's even a new movie adaptation."

"It's a bit of a shame that it hasn't been released here yet."

Su Qian walked to the table with several novels in her arms, took out one of her favorite light novels, and handed it to the other person.

The female protagonist in the story is initially just a war machine without any emotions. She has never known what love is or what emotions are.

The entire story revolves around the female protagonist's journey in search of the meaning of "love," and each little story is heartwarming and healing.

Although it may occasionally carry a sense of sadness, such as farewell or departure, people will eventually receive the love that belongs to them.

At the end of the novel, the female protagonist, having experienced emotions and come to understand the meaning of "love," stopped her journey and stayed with the one she "loved" forever.

"I really like this story. When the new theatrical version is released, let's all go see it together, okay?"

Su Qian patted the novel on Wu Liang's head and smiled faintly.

Actually, she rarely reads Japanese light novels, but ever since she came across this novel by chance, she has become completely immersed in it and can't extricate herself from it.

It wasn't just the bond between the female and male protagonists that touched her most; it was the small, fragmented stories within the text.

Watching the female protagonist gradually transform from an emotionless weapon of war into a young girl capable of joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness is like watching your own ignorant and naive daughter grow up – a truly delightful experience.

"No, Su Qian, I think you should go back first today."

Wu Liang sighed heavily, reached down and took the book off his head, placing it beside him.

It wasn't that he didn't want to stay here and read with Su Qian, but rather that he genuinely wasn't in the mood right now.

Staying here without being able to guarantee Su Qian's personal safety will only make him more and more worried about what will happen next.

"Oh? You specifically invited me out today just to go shopping for clothes with me and then send me back?"

"How dare you! Is this how you treat ladies?"

Su Qian placed one hand on Wu Liang's head and ruffled his hair into a mess.

She leaned down and looked at him with amusement in her eyes, then reached out her little hand and hooked Wu Liang's nose.

"Stop making a scene. You know why I asked you to go back."

Wu Liang grabbed Su Qian's small hand, pulled her to his side, and smiled helplessly.

Su Qian had noticed the changes that had occurred recently. Even a fool could see that something was wrong, let alone Su Qian.

No one is unlucky enough to be attacked all the time. This is a coincidence that is hard to come by even on the battlefield, and he just happened to encounter it all by himself.

"I understand that you're worried about me getting hurt if I'm with you, but aren't you underestimating my ability to handle pressure?"

"And don't you think those bizarre things that just happened were very interesting? I'm very interested in those kinds of coincidences."

"I don't want to leave your side. I want to see what kind of magic you have and what will happen next."

Su Qian sat down next to Wu Liang, her eyes crinkling into crescents and filled with joy.

She knew that all those events were caused by Wu Liang. What kind of magic did this guy possess that allowed him to create such exciting things?

She wanted to learn more about Wu Liang and find out what else he was hiding from her.

"This is no joke. You should have realized that those coincidences just now were extremely fatal."

Staring at Su Qian's perfect and pretty face, Wu Liang frowned and shook his head.

This is no child's play; one wrong move and someone could really die.

"I don't need your protection. I can take care of myself."

"Please let me stay by your side, don't chase me away~"

Su Qian clasped her hands together and nuzzled against Wu Liang's chest in a coquettish manner, gazing at him affectionately.

His watery eyes were filled with expectation and pity, making him look like a neglected little puppy.

Click...

Suddenly, a worker pushing a large book cart slipped, and the heavy cart, loaded with hundreds of books, shot straight forward as if it had been given a nitrous boost...

Chapter 80: Yao Shi is injured

The staff member, who was completely disoriented after the fall, sat on the ground, clutching his dazed head.

But when he came to his senses and looked up, his face instantly lost all color, his pale face filled with terror and panic.

The trolley, loaded with hundreds of thick books, suddenly lurched forward for no apparent reason, showing no sign of slowing down; in fact, it continued to accelerate.

Logically speaking, this is completely illogical. It's not like it's a steep downhill slope on a road. How could someone move at such an exaggerated speed on a perfectly flat surface like the library?

Moreover, even if he pushed the cart when it fell, the force was too weak to make it accelerate to that speed in such a short time.

The handcart, accelerating at breakneck speed, aimed at Wu Liang and Su Qian, who were talking in the corner.

It was as if they were about to execute him on the spot; the closer they got to them, the faster the sprint of the handcart doubled.

The rubber wheels rubbed against the ground, even sparking dazzling sparks, and the roaring handcart thundered forward like a cannonball.

"Oh no... oh no..."

Seeing the young couple in the corner not far away, the staff member quickly got up from the ground and ran forward.

Oh no, this is terrible! Why did this absurd thing happen? Those two young people will get hurt, they absolutely will! Where did that handcart get its power from...?

But just as the staff were at a loss and didn't know what to do, a dark, slender and powerful figure suddenly emerged from behind the bookshelf.

Her long hair, which was tucked under her baseball cap, danced without wind and reached the front of the shopping cart in just a few breaths.

Without the slightest hesitation, the newcomer didn't even care whether she would be injured by the violent impact.

The black patterned skirt, trimmed with gold flecks, was lifted by a corner of her high, fair, and full thighs, her incredibly long and beautiful legs tracing a graceful crescent-shaped trajectory in the air.

The deep sound was like muffled thunder. A solid whip kick slammed into the front of the cart that was moving at high speed, reducing the impact by hitting it head-on.
