Luo Yingbai turned around, and Yang Zheng finally saw his appearance clearly—sharp eyebrows and phoenix eyes, a high nose bridge, a slightly pointed chin.
This face looked very cold, but the shameless smile was too incongruous: “Oh, that was close! If I hadn’t reacted quickly, we would have been done for.”
Xia Xianning: “…Mm.”
As soon as the “Mm” left his mouth, a second truck came. This time, Xia Xianning was even faster, directly pulling the other person behind himself again, blocking another splash of mud and water.
No more trucks came. They walked to the roadside, and the air was somewhat quiet.
Xia Xianning stared at Luo Yingbai unblinkingly, a drop of water sliding down his forehead. He seemed to have forgotten or didn’t care to wipe it, his gaze still fixed on Luo Yingbai.
“He’s so damn annoying,” the water-soaked Xia Xianning thought expressionlessly. “Outrageous, always tricking me.”
He saw Luo Yingbai reach out to wipe the water droplet, and instinctively grabbed that hand, giving it a light squeeze before quickly letting go and wiping the droplet himself.
Never mind… he couldn’t do anything about him. At least he was back. Being back was enough.
As Xia Xianning thought this, the inherent cold aura around him seemed to soften. Luo Yingbai felt uncomfortable under his gaze and forced a laugh: “Xianning, you’re making me look like a bad guy.”
Luo Yingbai pinched and pulled his face: “Poor thing, you’re still as silly as before. I just tricked you.”
Xia Xianning, having his face pulled, said calmly: “So should I now take revenge and push you into the water?”
“Uh…”
Xia Xianning gave him a sidelong glance, leisurely rolling up his sleeves: “Thinking about it, that does sound fun.”
Just as the words fell, he was flicked on the forehead by Luo Yingbai: “Although I know you’ve always admired me, but dear cousin, do you really think I could pin down the Little Tiangang Star with just one move?”
Gou Songze thought about it and realized it made sense, but even if it was reasonable, he would never admit it if it came from Luo Yingbai’s mouth: “Who knows? There’s a saying that goes, ‘If you have no shame, you’re invincible.’ I think you’re pretty invincible.”
