“Huh?” Hearing Shi Xingwu call him “Little Uncle,” Miao Tong found it a bit strange. He tossed his hair and looked at Shi Xingwu, saying, “Why do you call me Little Uncle too?”
“Only girls call me that, right?” Shi Xingwu scoffed. He detested these pretty boys who fooled girls.
“Mmm…” Miao Tong thought carefully. It seemed only Xia Qing Tian and Xia Qing Yu called him that. Xia Hong Lang and Aunt Liu had no other children, so he nodded and said, “Yes, only girls call me that.”
“You!” Shi Xingwu was shocked. How could this pretty boy say such a thing with a straight face?
And “Little Sweet”!
Bah! .oΓg
Seeing that Shi Xingwu was about to make a move, Nie Qing Kong silently moved a step to the side.
Hit him, that’s right.
However, Li Xiao Zhong grabbed Shi Xingwu’s wrist and whispered, “Don’t make Xia Qing Yu feel awkward.”
Hearing Li Xiao Zhong say that, Shi Xingwu could only restrain his temper and stopped talking.
Miao Tong didn’t know what was wrong with Shi Xingwu. Was he angry because he didn’t let Shi Xingwu call him Little Uncle?
He didn’t understand current high school students.
What?
Is it fashionable now to rush to be someone’s grand-nephew?
And get angry if they refuse?
Thinking this, Miao Tong stroked his chin, sizing up Shi Xingwu as he said, “If you want to call me that, you can.”
“I don’t have that kind of hobby!” Seeing Miao Tong’s gaze, Shi Xingwu immediately tightened his collar, afraid Miao Tong would have improper thoughts about him.
“Huh?” Miao Tong was truly confused this time.
Just then, the cruise ship was preparing for its official departure. Xia Qing Tian returned to the deck and called them to the cabins, where someone would guide them around the cruise ship.
Seeing Shi Xingwu being dragged away by Li Xiao Zhong, Miao Tong also walked ahead, looking bewildered. Nie Qing Kong’s eyes were deep.
He needed to find an opportunity to teach this guy a lesson.
“Stay away from him.” Xia Qing Yu, walking behind, noticed Nie Qing Kong’s gaze and said softly, “If you can’t stand him, come at me. There’s no need to trouble innocent people.”
“I don’t understand what you’re talking about.” Hearing Xia Qing Yu’s words of protection for Miao Tong, Nie Qing Kong felt a surge of unpleasantness.
“He was so badly injured before. Do you dare say it has nothing to do with you?” Xia Qing Yu’s brows furrowed, and her tone became a bit harsher.
Nie Qing Kong didn’t answer Xia Qing Yu’s question. Instead, he stopped, looked at Xia Qing Yu’s angry face, let out a sneer, and retorted, “You’re heartbroken?”
“It really was you!” Xia Qing Yu’s eyes widened instantly.
“If you’re heartbroken, protect him well. Protect him properly, or else…” Nie Qing Kong took a step closer to Xia Qing Yu and whispered in her ear, “If I find an opportunity, I’ll hit him again.”
“!” Xia Qing Yu looked incredulous. How could anyone be so outrageous in this world!
Nie Qing Kong was quite pleased with Xia Qing Yu’s current expression. He chuckled and turned around, striding forward.
Xia Qing Tian, who was walking ahead, noticed Xia Qing Yu falling behind. She stopped and turned back, extending her hand and smiling, “Qing Yu, what are you thinking about? Come quickly!”
Seeing Xia Qing Tian’s smile, Xia Qing Yu recovered her senses in the quickest way possible, and simultaneously ignited a new fighting spirit. She quickly walked towards Xia Qing Tian.
As she passed Nie Qing Kong, she deliberately bumped his shoulder.
And when Nie Qing Kong turned his head, she gave him a determined and defiant look.
Head-on confrontation, huh?
Bring it on!
“Whoever flinches is a coward!” With that harsh remark, Xia Qing Yu quickly walked towards Xia Qing Tian.
Nie Qing Kong’s face showed a brief moment of surprise, and then he couldn’t help but laugh.
Was this a challenge?
Very good.
Then he absolutely had to teach that scoundrel a good lesson!
Miao Tong, who was walking and thinking about the possibility of Tang Jia Ming Zhu hiding on this cruise ship, inexplicably shivered, feeling as if he were being targeted by some vicious beast.
Miao Tong rubbed his arms and muttered to himself, “Who’s praising my handsomeness behind my back…”
Because they were close, Shi Xingwu heard Miao Tong’s voice. His mouth twitched twice, and then he looked at Li Xiao Zhong beside him in disbelief, making an exaggerated expression.
How could there be such a shameless person in this world!
From its layout and structure to its interior design and furnishings, this private cruise ship clearly showed the ingenuity of its designer.
Shi Xingwu was dumbfounded, finding everything novel. Upon seeing the luxurious game rooms on two levels, he could no longer move, exclaiming that it was his dream ship. In the end, Li Xiao Zhong, finding him embarrassing, covered his mouth and dragged him away.
Nie Qing Kong was not interested in the cruise ship; he didn’t care about such small toys. He was more interested in Xia Qing Yu’s performance.
Such a heartless little thing.
Her feisty demeanor was very much like Xiao Qing, the stray cat hospitalized at the pet clinic.
Truly, like master, like pet.
Miao Tong walked in the group, his eyes darting around.
It seemed that finding Tang Jia Ming Zhu’s hiding place would not be easy.
Miao Tong’s gaze fell on Xia Qing Tian’s back, his thoughts sinking.
The ship’s structure and layout were ingenious. According to his analysis, it was definitely not as simple as the introduction personnel described; there must be hidden secrets!
No wonder Xia Qing Tian dared to let him come aboard.
The most dangerous place is the safest place, right?
And she deliberately brought Xia Qing Yu and her classmates as a smokescreen?
It seemed he really couldn’t underestimate her.
Xia Qing Tian, unaware of Miao Tong’s thoughts, was holding Xia Qing Yu’s hand, whispering about what they should play later that evening.
After introducing the regular facilities and assigning rooms, the introduction personnel respectfully said, “Please guests rest for a moment. Dinner will be in thirty minutes, at the 7th floor. You can take the sightseeing elevators on the left or right sides. If you need anything, you can press the bell by your room door at any time, and staff will come to serve you. We will not disturb your rest. We hope all guests have a joyful and relaxing time on the [detective]!”
After this statement, the introduction personnel bowed and turned to leave.
Shi Xingwu grabbed Li Xiao Zhong and excitedly opened the door to the room with his key card.
Miao Tong also swiped his key card to enter his corresponding room. He turned to Nie Qing Kong and smiled, saying, “It looks quite spacious. Come in.”
“Mmm.” Nie Qing Kong responded, then turned to look at Xia Qing Yu, who was looking nervous and hesitant. He then gave Xia Qing Yu a knowing smile in front of her and slowly closed the door.
This unlucky situation!
Xia Qing Yu didn’t know how to describe Miao Tong’s luck.
How could Miao Tong and Nie Qing Kong be staying in the same room?
“Qing Yu? What’s wrong?” Xia Qing Tian saw Xia Qing Yu standing foolishly at the door and asked curiously, “Is something wrong?”
“No.” Xia Qing Yu finally came to her senses, let out a dry laugh, and followed Xia Qing Tian into the room.
Before closing the door, she nervously glanced at Miao Tong and Nie Qing Kong’s room opposite them.
She felt so disheartened.
