Chapter 58: The Coarse Nerve of Zhang Xue

  "Of course not." Seeing Zhang Xue about to cry, Zhao Fei hastily denied it.

  "What do you mean?" Zhang Xue stared at Zhao Fei with her big, watery eyes, which were truly the kind that could leave tears at any moment.

  "I'm just saying, I'm of low status, how can I be friends with you?" Zhao Fei looked up and said weakly to Zhang Xue. "Plus, last time I left without saying goodbye, so today when I see you, I naturally feel a bit guilty. Moreover, your family is of high status, while mine is not, even if you don't mind, your parents and relatives will think differently."

  "What's the big deal, it's nothing." Hearing Zhao Fei say this, Zhang Xue also felt a lot more at ease. She patted Zhao Fei on the shoulder and said: "My dad loves me the most, as long as I'm willing, my dad won't object. You can rest assured." Zhang Xue was very casual and carefree, with an attitude of not fearing heaven or earth.

  Looking at Zhang Xue's expression, Zhao Fei couldn't bear to crush her mood. "If only it were that simple," Zhao Fei muttered under his breath.

  "What did you just say?" Zhang Xue asked with a smug expression, not having heard Zhao Fei's muttering.

  "Uh... nothing. I said it would be great if that's how it was." Zhao Fei was suddenly questioned by Zhang Xue and almost revealed the truth, luckily he quickly corrected himself.

  "Just rest assured, just leave it to me." Zhang Xue patted Zhao Fei's shoulder again, with an expression that said "you have to trust me" staring at Zhao Fei.

  Seeing Zhang Xue's appearance, Zhao Fei couldn't help but have a black line on his forehead. "This seems to be the legendary one-rooted person, I didn't expect that there were such extreme people in ancient times." Zhao Fei thought to himself with a tsk.

  "What's wrong, why aren't you talking?" Zhang Xue asked, waving her hand in front of Zhao Fei's eyes as she saw him staring blankly.

  "Nothing... nothing at all," Zhao Fei said.

  "Hmph." Zhang Xue gave Zhao Fei a glance before turning her head away.

  Seeing Zhang Xue like this, Zhao Fei looked very helpless. "What's wrong with you again? Who made our little princess unhappy?"

  "It's just you and me here, who else could it be?" Zhang Xue said, but her head didn't turn around, clearly showing her dissatisfaction with Zhao Fei.

  When Zhang Xue said this, Zhao Fei felt like crying. "What have I done to offend you again?"

  "What's with you, I'm so old already." This time, the humming sound got even louder.

  At this moment, Zhao Fei truly understood why women are an unreasonable animal. "Fine, fine, it's all my fault. Our Zhang Xiaojie is a beautiful young girl, not old at all. How lovely."

  "Is everything you said true?" Although Zhang Xue didn't quite understand what "beautiful youth" meant, a beautiful girl would still get it. Someone was praising her as a beautiful girl, how could Zhang Xue not be happy?

  "Of course it's true, even more real than gold." Zhao Fei said with a pat on his chest. "Then why are you still angry?" Seeing Zhang Xue's face flush red, Zhao Fei hastily asked.

  "Since you're so sincere, I'll forgive you." Zhang Xue said with a smile.

  At this moment, Zhao Fei felt that the girl was a bit too much. He felt like a prisoner waiting for sentencing, while Zhang Xue was the judge. He had just flattered the judge with one sentence, and unexpectedly, the judge waved his pen and directly acquitted him. Faced with such an ending, Zhao Fei was extremely helpless. He had originally prepared a good explanation, but it turned out that he didn't need to use it after all.

  "By the way, how did you end up going out for a stroll by yourself?" Zhao Fei asked curiously. "And dressed like that too."

  "Dad went out today, and I finally had the chance to come out. Of course..." Zhang Xue was just getting into it when she suddenly found Zhao Fei staring at her with an unusual gaze. "What's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?"

  "You just said that as long as you're willing, your dad won't object, right? Now how come going out the door still has to wait for your dad to go out, and a girl dressed up as a boy can go out?" Zhao Fei looked at Zhang Xue with a playful expression.

  "This... uh..." Zhang Xue was suddenly at a loss for words, not knowing what to say. Who made her just say something too much? Seeing Zhao Fei's expression, Zhang Xue felt even more tangled inside. "You're a bad guy, I'm ignoring you now." She said, turning her head away again.

  "Cough... cough..." Zhao Fei, who was sneering there, was suddenly struck by Zhang Xue's words. "Just now it was fine, how did it become a bad person again."

  "Right, what did you just say?" Zhang Xue suddenly asked.

  "I said you're dressed as a man going out, what's wrong?" Zhao Fei replied in confusion.

  "Not this sentence, the previous one." Zhang Xue continued to ask nervously.

  "Hmm..." Zhao Fei thought for a moment, then said to Zhang Xue: "I was wondering why you came out shopping by yourself."

  "That's right, this sentence." Zhang Xue exclaimed.

  "What's wrong with this sentence?" Zhao Fei asked in puzzlement.

  Zhang Xue didn't respond to Zhao Fei, but instead ran out alone. "Hey! What's wrong?" Zhao Fei hastily shouted, but Zhang Xue had already disappeared around the corner of the alley. Afraid that something might happen to Zhang Xue, Zhao Fei quickly chased after her.

  "What's wrong?" Zhao Fei came to Zhang Xue, who was panting, and asked kindly. He saw Zhang Xue looking around, as if searching for someone.

  "My maid Xiao Zhao came out with me, I actually forgot about her." Zhang Xue grabbed Zhao Fei's arm and said anxiously.

  "It's indeed like that." Zhao Fei showed an expression of "I knew it". "This chick is really thick-skinned, and it took her so long to think of it."

  "What's with that expression." Zhang Xue looked at Zhao Fei's unusual expression and said discontentedly. "Just now, you were the one who pulled him away. You need to take responsibility for this matter."

  Looking at Zhang Xuebian's unreasonable behavior of pushing the responsibility onto herself, Zhao Fei felt extremely helpless. "If it weren't for the fact that you're a beautiful woman, I would have chased you away long ago." Zhao Fei thought maliciously in his heart.

  "I didn't know you had a maid accompanying you either." Zhao Fei said helplessly.

  "What can be done about this?" Zhang Xue looked very anxious, with tears welling up in her eyes.

  Seeing Zhang Xue's expression, Zhao Fei hastily said: "Don't worry first, it's possible that she found out you were gone and is still looking for you on the streets. I'll accompany you to take a look around, maybe we can still find her."

  Zhang Xue could only helplessly nod her head, "Alright then."

  The sun sets in the west, and the originally bustling street has become somewhat desolate. Two people are seen walking numbly on the street, looking around everywhere. It's none other than Zhang Xue and Zhao Fei who are still searching for Xiaozhao. Zhang Xue looks anxious, while Zhao Fei is expressionless.

  "What's going on, what's going on? Xiao Zhao really is gone." Zhang Xue kept muttering in Zhao Fei's ear.

  Zhao Fei dug into his ears, feeling a bit numb. He had been listening to this sentence for an entire afternoon, and no matter who said it, it was unbearable. "Don't worry about it, Little Zhao is not a child, maybe she's already back at the Zhang residence waiting for you."

  "It won't happen, Xiaozhao won't leave me alone." Zhang Xue said in a bad tone.

  "But it's not a good idea to look for her like this. It's getting late, I'll send you back home first, what if Xiao Zhao has returned? Even if she hasn't, with the Zhang family's influence in Zhendong, it's not hard to find someone." Zhao Fei consoled.

  "But..." Zhang Xue still couldn't bear it.

  "There's nothing else to say, let's go." Zhao Fei pulled Zhang Xue towards the Zhang residence.
