Chapter 38 Positioning

  Maybe it's because she hasn't slept well for the past decade, but as soon as Xihe left, she fell asleep easily. When Liang Ziqian and Qi Shuo finished lunch and returned to the room, she was already fast asleep. Qi Shuo looked at Xizi's sleeping posture, which resembled a frog, and laughed: "This is too enchanting!" Liang Ziqian helplessly glanced over and pulled up a blanket to cover her. He remembered seeing the scars on her back earlier when they were on the beach. He gently lifted her half-damp hair and lightly tugged at her loose T-shirt. Qi Shuo saw that Liang Ziqian was about to undress Xizi, and in surprise, he grasped Liang Ziqian's hand, looking at him and asking: "What are you doing?"

  "Look at the wound on his shoulder!" Liang Ziqin pushed him away indifferently, lightly tugging at Xizi's clothes. He exposed his injured shoulder and glanced at it, giving Qi Chuo a resentful look.

  Qizhuo also saw Xizi's shoulders, which had been like that for many days, and her shoulders didn't look any better. Feeling a bit guilty, he said, "It's not like I made you grab her." That night was indeed when Liang Ziqin asked Qizhuo for help, although he felt that Liang Ziqian was being unreasonable. But the matter was still his fault, and he wasn't blaming anyone else, silently rummaging through Xizi's backpack. Qizhuo thought this was a bit too disrespectful to others, snatching Xizi's bag away and saying, "What are you doing? One minute you're pulling someone's clothes, the next you're rummaging through their backpack."

  "I'm afraid she'll starve!" He said, picking up his wallet and going out the door.

  Zi Shuo looked at Liang Zi Qian leaving, and couldn't help but take a glance at Xi Zi's bag. Apart from the few breads and pickles, there really wasn't anything else. Squatting by Xi Zi's bedside, looking at Xi Zi's distorted face. Said: "Looking at your silly appearance, sometimes I still find it quite cute. If I hadn't taken a liking to Yu Fei first, maybe this young master would be willing to save you from your suffering." Liang Zi Qian left the room and arrived at the hotel's restaurant. Bought two portions of rice, stir-fried some green pepper meat shreds, and quickly returned to the room. Zi Shuo saw that normally Liang Zi Qian didn't like to interfere with others' business, yet he was so concerned about Xi Zi. Asked: "What's wrong with you?"

  Liang Ziqin put down his rice and lay down on the bed, asking: "What's wrong?"

  Zi Shuo sat up, "I remember you're someone who rarely interferes with others' business, why are you being so good to her? Don't tell me you've developed feelings for her?"

  "You're thinking too much," said Liang Ziqin, looking at Xizi's heaving back. With a tone that was both sympathetic and guilty, he added, "This is just Xizi; if it were another girl, her parents would be called to the school for something like this."

  Zi Shuo hugged his head and lay down, closing his eyes and saying: "I originally thought she was okay, not like you always speaking ill of her. One minute she's late, the next minute she doesn't wipe the table, the next minute she copies homework." On a summer afternoon, it seemed especially easy to fall asleep. Liang Ziqin listened to Zi Shuo's nagging and drifted off into dreamland.

  At four o'clock in the afternoon, the sun was no longer as strong as it was at noon. Shi Meitong had agreed with Liang Ziqin to go to the nearby handicraft market together. So Liang Ziqin set an alarm clock and woke himself and Qi Chuo up with a loud ringing sound. Looking over at Xi Zi, who was sleeping soundly, not seeming to have heard anything at all. Qi Chuo had agreed with Yu Feier in the morning to teach her how to swim in the hotel's swimming pool. After getting ready, he went to Yu Feier's room. When Liang Ziqin was about to go out, he shook Xi Zi who was sleeping soundly.

  "What's wrong?" Xi Zi, still unsatisfied, propped herself up and brushed aside her disheveled hair to reveal her face.

  Liang Ziqin looked at her lazy appearance and was full of complaints in his heart. But seeing how hard she had to work to get here, he felt that she really liked the sea a lot. So he reminded her: "It's already past four o'clock, our classmates have all gone to play on the beach. If you want to go, hurry up, otherwise it will be crowded soon and you might get discovered."

  Xizi stretched out a leg from under the quilt, closed her eyes and mumbled: "My knee is bleeding, I won't be able to swim today." Liangzikun took a look at her injured knee, then looked at her hair which was messy as if it had been bombed. He couldn't bear to look directly at her, so he blew the fringe out of his face and went out the door. Holding Shimei Tong's small hand, they strolled through the bustling market. Two people with introverted personalities quietly appreciated the dazzling shell crafts. As they wandered, Shimei Tong suddenly stopped in her tracks, staring at something on a stall. Liangzikun followed her gaze and saw that it was a hair clip shaped like a starfish. Liangzikun smiled sideways at Shimei Tong and asked: "Do you like it?" Shimei Tong smiled gently and nodded slightly. Liangzikun got the answer and asked: "How much is this hair clip, boss?"

  The boss looked at Liang Ziqian's clothes and thought they were rich kids. He smiled warmly and asked, "You just want this hair clip? Look at my stall, I have so many small things, pick a few more, I'll give you a discount."

  Liang Ziqin looked at the stall and saw that it was all accessories for girls. He turned to Shi Meitong and asked, "Is there anything else you like?"

  Shi Meitong looked at the stall again and said, "I just want this one."

  The boss heard her say this and said enthusiastically: "If you don't like it yourself, you can also take some back to give to others."

  Liang Ziqin saw the boss's enthusiasm and knew that doing small business was not easy. He lowered his head to pick from the stall, but didn't know what to buy that would be useful. Suddenly he thought of the messy-haired ghost on the bed and asked: "Boss, do you have hair ties for braids?"

  "Yes, yes, but this one is not sold individually, you have to buy ten at a time." The boss immediately took out some black rubber bands with pearls on them and placed them in front of Liang Ziqian.

  "Alright, just these then, how much?" Liang Ziqin also didn't have anything else to buy, and immediately asked the price.

  The boss also couldn't sell it anymore and didn't say much. He casually quoted a price and said, "It's 100 yuan in total."

  "Good." Liang Ziqin didn't say another word, took out the money from his wallet and handed it over. Seeing Liang Ziqin take the hair clip, Shi Meitong removed her original hair clip from her head and playfully leaned in close to Liang Ziqin's face. Although Liang Ziqin loved studying, he wasn't a block of wood either. He smoothed out her hair and personally clipped it on for her.

  The room was quiet, with only Xī Zǐ left. It wasn't until the darkness had filled the entire room that Xī Zǐ slowly woke up. Rubbing her messy hair and patting her flat stomach, she sighed at her own miserable situation while turning on the light. Seeing the two servings of rice and dishes on the table, her eyes suddenly lit up. These must be for me, it seems. Whatever, I'm starving right now. She heated up the food in the microwave and wolfed it down. After eating her fill, she was about to play some games when she saw an unread message on the Jīn Wū APP. Ah, you know you're wrong this time? You didn't even send a screen shake to me. Opening her phone, she saw: "You did well, now my system shows two Jīn Wū locations. However, their spiritual power is still sealed and hasn't been unlocked. I've been on a school trip with classmates for the past few days. When I get back, I'll contact you." Xī Zǐ immediately voice-replied: "Customer service classmate, do you know now? There are many times when it's not possible to reply in real-time, so it's better if you don't use that screen shake casually."

  "Okay, I've tried my best but also please reply to the message in a timely manner."

  "Reply so quickly?" Xi Zi pouted and said: "I know, I know, go on your trip."
