Chapter 57 Ambiguous (Seeking Fresh Flowers and Bookmarks)

  "I didn't expect that after several months, she could still recognize me from the back, but I must not turn my head, cannot turn my head." Zhao Fei muttered to himself.

  "Miss, you've mistaken me for someone else." As soon as these words were spoken, Zhao Fei knew he was done for. The master behind him was disguised as a man, how could he possibly know that the person in front of him was a girl at first glance?

  "It's really you, and since you've recognized me, why did you turn your head and walk away, saying it was a mistake?" As expected, Zhang Xue had one hand on her waist, pointing at Zhao Fei with the other.

  Knowing that he couldn't hide anymore, he could only laugh and turn his head around. "This... this... I still have something to do, I'll explain it to you later." After saying that, Zhao Fei lifted his leg and was about to run away.

  "Where are you going to run." Zhang Xue took advantage of the situation and grabbed Zhao Fei's clothes with her pointing hand. Although Zhang Xue was a weak woman, Zhao Fei's physical condition was not as good as that of a woman, so he was naturally caught by Zhang Xue.

  "I really have something on, boss is still waiting for me to work." Zhao Fei turned his head, looking pitifully at Zhang Xue.

  "Hmph!" Zhang Xue completely ignored Zhao Fei's expression, with an attitude that said "you don't explain clearly and I won't let go".

  Everyone on the street was attracted by Zhao Fei's strange appearance, and they all stopped to watch. Being watched by so many people, Zhang Xue also felt a little embarrassed, and she slightly loosened her grip on Zhao Fei's hand.

  Zhao Fei seized the opportunity and attempted to escape. "Still running." Seeing Zhao Fei trying to run, Zhang Xue tightly grabbed Zhao Fei's clothes again.

  "So many people are watching, can't you just let me go?" Zhao Fei spoke up.

  "I don't care, anyway you didn't tell me and I won't let go. And last time you also left without saying goodbye. You must explain to me clearly." Zhang Xue glared at Zhao Fei with a furious expression.

  "So you're like this." Zhao Fei looked around at the crowd of people.

  "Uh... " Looking around at the onlookers, Zhang Xue also hesitated. "Then what do you think we should do?" Zhang Xue asked.

  "Let me go first, I'll tell you if you let me go." Zhao Fei said hastily.

  "Really?" Zhang Xue asked in doubt.

  "Of course I'm not cheating you." Zhao Fei patted his own chest as proof.

  "Alright, but don't run away." Zhang Xue was slightly moved by Zhao Fei's words and slowly released her own hand.

  Feeling the hand grasping his clothes loosen, Zhao Fei rushed out without caring. But he didn't think that Zhang Xue's hand hadn't completely let go, and was suddenly pulled down by Zhao Fei's sudden movement.

  Zhao Fei had only run a few steps when he heard a loud "Ah!" behind him, and hastily turned his head to see Zhang Xue lying on the ground, in pain. Zhao Fei immediately stopped running and rushed over to help Zhang Xue up.

  "How are you? Nothing's wrong, right?" Zhao Fei asked softly.

  All that could be seen was Zhang Xue's big, watery eyes welling up with tears. This made Zhao Fei's head suddenly feel like it had grown to the size of a bucket. "What's to be done now?"

  "You said you couldn't run! You liar!" Zhang Xue glared at Zhao Fei, her eyes brimming with tears.

  "That wasn't intentional, I really had something to do." Looking at Zhang Xue's pitiful expression, Zhao Fei felt his mind go blank and didn't know what to say.

  "You're a cheat, a big cheat!" Zhang Xue's voice grew louder and louder, until she was almost shouting. Tears also seemed to be unstoppable, rolling down one by one, and soon they were streaming together.

  Seeing Zhang Xue crying like a torrential rain, Zhao Fei had an impulse to hold her in his arms, but he reminded himself that he couldn't do so. If he did, his own life might be at risk.

  "Alright, alright, don't cry, it's all my fault, I'm a big liar, I was wrong." Whether in past lives or this life, Zhao Fei had no experience coaxing girls, the only one he had ever coaxed was his own sister. But the scene before him was vastly different from coaxing his sister.

  "So many people are watching, don't cry anymore." Zhao Fei had no choice but to bring up this fact.

  As expected, Zhang Xue's crying subsided a lot after hearing Zhao Fei's words. Gradually, it turned into sniffling. Seeing that Zhang Xue had finally stopped crying, the huge stone in Zhao Fei's heart also fell to the ground.

  "Alright, don't cry anymore, are you hurt?" Zhao Fei asked carefully.

  "Hmm." Zhang Xue nodded slightly.

  "Where did you fall?" Zhao Fei slowly helped Zhang Xue up, then stretched out a hand to wipe away the tears still hanging on her face.

  Zhang Xue raised her head and saw Zhao Fei's action. Suddenly felt that this action was a bit ambiguous. Her face turned red instantly, and she was stunned.

  "What's wrong?" Zhao Fei hastily asked, sensing Zhang Xue's abnormality.

  "Nothing... nothing." Zhang Xue was very embarrassed and hastily said it was nothing.

  "Let me take a look." Zhao Fei asked again.

  The onlookers saw the two young men chatting and couldn't help but break out in cold sweats. Just then, a woman turned to someone beside her and said, "I never thought such a handsome young man would be... Alas!"

  Hearing the gossip around him, Zhao Fei was suddenly flustered. "What are you waiting for, hurry up and run." He quickly pulled Zhang Xue and ran out.

  "Hey, slow down." Zhang Xue also heard the gossip of the people and felt very embarrassed, so she quickly followed Zhao Fei and ran out together.

  "Ah! How did you suddenly run off?" A burst of shouting erupted from the crowd, and some hot-blooded people's hearts were instantly filled with anxiety. Hurriedly following after her, more people chose to leave instead. Just as everyone left, a young man holding a handkerchief appeared here. "Miss, where exactly did you go?" The young man asked in a choked voice, speaking softly.

  "Who would have thought that ancient people were also so cunning." Zhao Fei secretly grumbled in his heart.

  They found a deserted alley and Zhao Fei took advantage of the situation to pull Zhang Xue in. The others following behind did not notice and continued to chase forward.

  After a while, seeing no one passing by, Zhao Fei pulled Zhang Xue out slowly.

  "Has everyone left?" Zhang Xue asked in a low voice.

  "They should have all left." Zhao Fei also replied in a low voice. Just like a secret agent making contact.

  "They're all gone." Zhang Xue wiped the fragrant sweat from her cheek, suddenly discovering that her hand was still being held by Zhao Fei, and quickly pulled it out. Her face instantly turned bright red.

  As Zhang Xue withdrew her hand, Zhao Fei also felt embarrassed and hurriedly apologized. However, in his heart, he secretly thought, "Her hand feels so good, it would be great if I could hold it for a bit longer." If Zhang Xue were to find out, he'd probably get beaten up badly.

  "It's all right now that there's no one around, you should tell me the whole story." Zhang Xue put her hands on her hips and kept giving Zhao Fei a sideways glance.

  "This young lady, everything I said is true. Last time I left in a hurry to go home, so I didn't say goodbye to you. And this time I was in a hurry to get back to work at the store, so I left quickly." Zhao Fei lowered his head, wiping away sweat, and didn't dare look up at Zhang Xue, hoping to gloss over the situation.

  "Why say you don't know me again." Zhang Xue was obviously not that easily fooled.

  "Ah...!" Zhao Fei suddenly became anxious, and the sweat he had just wiped away instantly covered his forehead again.

  "Speak." Zhang Xue glared at Zhao Fei. Zhao Fei felt his pressure increase greatly.

  "You are a young lady, while I am just an ordinary farmer's son." Helplessly, Zhao Fei could only speak the truth.

  I didn't expect Zhao Fei to say that, Zhao Fei's answer was clearly beyond Zhang Xue's expectations.

  "Just because I'm a member of the Zhang family, you're unwilling to be friends with me?" Tears welled up in Zhang Xue's eyes once again.
