"Cheapskate!"
Xia Xiaoyu said softly, puffing up in anger as she left the room.
"A Feng, you really have to help out, oh no!"
Xu Qian said to Zifeng after seeing Xia Xiaoyu leave.
"Have you ever seen a ghost during the day? Of course not, it's not the right time for that; such things only happen at night..." Zifeng rolled his eyes at Xu Qian. "And how could you say that I can help her secretly? You just revealed my abilities!"
"If this situation could be resolved, I definitely wouldn't have said anything, so stop complaining..."
Xu Qian felt a bit helpless.
"Don't play innocent with me; this isn't over..."
"Anyway, as long as you take action, we can discuss anything..."
"I'll sneak into the University tonight to take a look, but just so we're clear, I can handle Evil Spirits, but I'm not so calm when it comes to powerful ghosts," Zifeng said and ignored Xu Qian.
"Thank you, I'll treat you to a meal another day."
Xu Qian left Zifeng's house and took Xia Xiaoyu back with him.
On the way, Xia Xiaoyu was speechless, thinking about that incredibly handsome yet incoherent stingy guy they had encountered today.
The more she thought about it, the angrier she became.
Xu Qian knew that Xia Xiaoyu, the young lady, was feeling frustrated today, but it was rare to see her in such a state. Well, it was somewhat amusing.
They entered a restaurant not far from the university. Xu Qian and Xia Xiaoyu decided to eat outside. After a long day, Xia Xiaoyu hadn't eaten anything yet. She was indeed a bit hungry, but as soon as food was mentioned, she couldn't help but think of that shameless guy who had mentioned paying for himself.
Four words: stingy to the core.
"What's wrong? You look deep in thought!" Xu Qian asked as he noticed Xia Xiaoyu's distracted expression while glancing at the untouched dishes in front of her. "Is it not to your taste?"
"No, it's fine," Xia Xiaoyu replied, snapping back to reality with a smile.
Xu Qian smiled slightly. "You’re not thinking about that guy, are you? From what I know, out of ten girls who meet him, nine will like him!"
"Pfft..." As soon as that guy was mentioned, Xia Xiaoyu scoffed and rolled her eyes. "He doesn't have that much charm! Besides, he seems like a fraud to me. He may act warm and gentle, but he comes off as indifferent and unwelcoming. What a stingy person!"
"Haha..." Xu Qian couldn't help but chuckle. "That's interesting. But you only know one side of him. He has a way of doing things and handling situations that ordinary people can't understand. However, if you truly become friends with him, you'll realize how lucky you are. He is very genuine with his friends. You shouldn't judge him by his outward appearance; he doesn't have many true friends because he often tells me that people in his world can't afford too many disputes. He’s not someone we can easily comprehend, but I consider it my greatest honor in life to be one of his few friends..."
"Is he really that great?" Although Xia Xiaoyu pretended to be indifferent, curiosity about that guy began to rise within her as she thought about him again.
"He is better than I imagined, but then again, he is quite pitiful!" Xu Qian paused for a moment and then continued, "Sometimes he comes to where I am and says things that I can barely understand. I don't know what his world is like, but he often says that if he could, he would give up everything to be an ordinary person. No matter what, you have to understand that the more you gain, the more you have to give. Similarly, the heavier your identity, the greater the responsibilities you bear! He doesn't have many friends, so despite his strong exterior, I know he is indifferent and proud, which is related to his profession."
