“Sister Wanxi, you can’t say that in front of outsiders. Others will think that you have a split personality. You have to treat yourself as Xu Ye when you’re outside, understand?” Chi Jiao didn’t want others to look at Bai Wanxi strangely.

Bai Wanxi nodded solemnly. “I’ll remember. Jiaojiao, let’s go eat something delicious first. The food here smells so good!”

Chi Jiao nodded with a smile upon seeing how excited she was.

Bai Wanxi walked in front while Yin Yong followed at the side and paid for her. Quan Jue and Chi Jiao held hands and walked behind them.

“Jiaojiao, do you have anything to say to me?” Quan Jue interlocked his fingers with hers. He didn’t respond to the girls’ enthusiastic gazes. His eyes could only accommodate Chi Jiao. At this moment, he was staring at her with a burning gaze.

Chi Jiao instantly understood what he meant. She hugged his arm. “Brother Quan, don’t be angry. I can’t bear to see Quan Jingzhou bully you, that’s why I wanted to help you.”

Quan Jue smiled helplessly and gently scratched her little nose. “Am I that petty? Would I be angry over such a small matter? I’m worried that you’ll get into trouble. Moreover, I’ve already come up with a plan. My recent show of weakness is just a trap for Quan Jingzhou.”

“I believe Brother Quan can destroy Quan Jingzhou. I’m just doing this to vent my own anger. It won’t affect your plan.” Chi Jiao beamed with joy as she stared at him with bright eyes. “Brother Quan, aren’t you curious to see what Quan Jingzhou’s face will look like after the major families withdraw their investments?”

Quan Jue imagined for a moment and was indeed looking forward to it. “We’ll see it in half a month. When the time comes, I’ll bring you to see Quan Jingzhou’s expression.”

“Brother Quan, actually, I have a better idea.” Chi Jiao stood on tiptoes and whispered in his ear. “Do you think this is better?”

Quan Jue’s eyes were filled with indulgence. He reached out and gently scratched her nose. “Alright, I’ll listen to you.”

“Jiaojiao, Jue Jue, come quickly. This thing is delicious!” Bai Wanxi bought a few fried rice cake noodles. She ate until her face was covered in sauce and refused to stop.

Chi Jiao and Quan Jue quickened their pace to Bai Wanxi’s side and ate with her.

Soon, they passed by a game stall where participants threw rings onto prizes.

The front of the shop was filled with people. A few young people at the stall were still shouting, “Two rings for one yuan. The prize belongs to you if you can throw a ring onto it!”

Bai Wanxi tugged at Chi Jiao. “Jiaojiao, I want that necklace.”

Bai Wanxi immediately took a liking to the necklace in the innermost row. It was a necklace with a little white heart on it. At first glance, it looked similar to the little heart on Chi Jiao’s neck.

“But I’m not good at tossing rings. Brother Quan, can you do it even if you don’t use your special ability?” Chi Jiao asked him.

“I’ll give it a try.” Quan Jue’s expression was serious. After Yin Yong paid, he took ten rings.

One ring, two rings, three rings… ten rings. Quan Jue threw ten rings consecutively, but miraculously, he didn’t manage to win even a single prize.
