The Rebirth of the Fierce Little Cute Girl

Chapter 27: Chapter 27: He Has Appeared

Zheng Xiangqiao finished speaking and looked up at the person who bumped into her, only then did she realize there stood a handsome man with delicate features.

Upon seeing the man’s face clearly, Zheng Xiangqiao quickly stopped talking, her face turning slightly red.

Yiyi watched the scene unfold perfectly clear, her eyes full of mockery. Zheng Xiangqiao and Zhang Liangyue really did meet as expected.

”I’m sorry, I didn’t notice earlier, did I hurt you?”

Zhang Liangyue saw Zheng Xiangqiao in front of him and gently asked.

”No... I’m fine.”

Zheng Xiangqiao suddenly felt a bit annoyed; she spoke too loudly just now and didn’t know what the other person would think.

Seeing the girl’s pinkish face and slightly plump figure, Zhang Liangyue couldn’t help but say more, ”Anyway, I wasn’t watching where I was going, it was my fault.”

While speaking, he started to walk back, ”You guys came to buy scallion pancakes, right? The beef scallion pancakes at this shop are quite delicious.”

Zheng Xiangqiao, hearing this, responded happily, ”Thank you for the recommendation, we’ll definitely try one later.”

”Boss, two beef scallion pancakes and two mustard greens scallion pancakes, please.” Zhang Liangyue paid for it while speaking and, taking the pancakes, handed them to Zheng Xiangqiao, saying, ”Consider this my apology gift. You and your friend can share them later.”

”This... how can I accept this?”

Though saying no, Zheng Xiangqiao’s eyes were full of smiles, and she readily took the pancakes from Zhang Liangyue’s hand.

Watching the interaction between the two, Yiyi sneered; the two of them really are a perfect match, hooking up just after meeting.

But at this moment, she also felt a bit puzzled.

Whether in a previous life or this one, Zhang Liangyue was initially more interested in Zheng Xiangqiao, not even sparing a glance at her. So why did he later pursue her relentlessly? It caused her such distress in her crucial senior year of high school that her grades slipped, and after that incident, she didn’t even take the college entrance exam.

Yiyi stood quietly for a moment, deep in thought.

”Yiyi, let’s go for a walk in the park together.”

At this moment, Zheng Xiangqiao grabbed Yiyi’s hand and enthusiastically invited her, ”Mr. Zhang just said there’s a nice new park in town, let’s go take a look.”

Hearing Zheng Xiangqiao’s words, Yiyi snapped back to reality, raising an eyebrow. Things were still happening as before. In the previous life, she foolishly ran to the park with them, only to see the two flirting. This time she was not in the mood to watch their antics.

”No, I won’t go. My mom’s waiting for me to return home.”

Zheng Xiangqiao quickly said, ”Yiyi, let’s go together.”

”No, you two go. I’ll head home first.” Without waiting for a response, she waved her hand and left without looking back.

Although still puzzled, Yiyi believed she would eventually figure things out, so there was no need to waste time going to the park now.

But after leaving the pancake shop, she hesitated for a moment and then headed directly towards North City instead of going home.

She remembered there were two Chinese medicine shops in North City. Though she was unwilling to sell the herbs from her space now, it would be good to inquire about the market. If she had a surplus in the future, she could sell them.

North City was a bit far, but Yiyi was now very familiar with the town, so she unhesitatingly took a shortcut.

However, when she reached the middle of a small alley, Yiyi couldn’t help but feel a chill on her back, her intuition telling her it wasn’t safe around.

Uncertain of the situation, Yiyi didn’t hesitate and ran forward without looking back.

But before she could even take two steps, someone grabbed the back of her shirt, and a cold dagger pressed against her neck.

At that moment, Yiyi couldn’t help but think of swearing.

She had just taken a shortcut on a whim, and this happened—how unlucky could she be?

The last time she followed Zheng Xiangqiao to the park, she avoided this. Who would have thought there’d be danger in such a small alley today?

Soon she heard footsteps behind her, and the person who grabbed her turned her around to face the newcomer.

When Yiyi saw who approached, she was stunned.

Him... how is he here?

”Stop, don’t move any further, or I’ll slit this girl’s throat,” the attacker threatened.

Hearing this, Yiyi came back to her senses, her eyes still filled with complex emotions.

It was Gu Tingyu.

So Gu Tingyu was already in town at this time? What happened today? Was he catching bad guys?

Her mind was filled with countless thoughts, making her almost forget about the dagger at her neck.

When Gu Tingyu saw the bright red mark on the girl’s neck, he immediately stopped, ”I advise you not to act recklessly.”

The assailant, seeing Gu Tingyu stop, relaxed a bit and let out a sigh, ”Stop following me, or I’ll be rude to the girl.”

Hearing the attacker, Yiyi calmed herself and became composed.

Though she didn’t expect to see Gu Tingyu here, the situation needed to be resolved first; it shouldn’t affect Gu Tingyu because of her.

Taking a deep breath, Yiyi worked up some emotions and began to sob, ”Sir, please let me go.”

The assailant saw that Yiyi was coming back to her senses from the initial fright and disdainfully said, ”Shut up, or you’ll regret it.”

”Li San, since when have you stooped to threatening a little girl,” Gu Tingyu’s voice was icy, his face even more so.

Li San glanced at Gu Tingyu and scoffed, ”As long as you stop following me, I’ll naturally let her go. You’ve been chasing me for three days, aren’t you tired? I am.”

But Gu Tingyu, with deep eyes, said, ”If you tell me where Mr. Chen is, I won’t chase you any more.”

”Ha... you’re still dreaming of finding Mr. Chen. Let me tell you, stop dreaming. Now turn around and leave, or this girl will disappear in the prime of her youth.”

Yiyi roughly understood the situation, and while the two were talking, she leaned her body forward.
