Chapter 683: Chapter 0684: Encounter with the Ruffian Again

Xiao Mei saw everything she should and should not have, but she didn’t feel any repulsion or disgust towards Ye Qiu; rather, she felt an indescribable fondness for him.

Where did this fondness come from?

Xiao Mei didn’t know. Perhaps it was from the first time they were in the elevator at Xingyue Group and Ye Qiu touched her, she hadn’t felt any rejection.

"Sure."

Ye Qiu still spoke in the same manner.

Xiao Mei went to the master bedroom’s drawer and found a set of suitable pajamas.

Nowadays, there’s not much difference between men’s and women’s pajamas; usually, the ones for women are just softer.

When Ye Qiu stayed over in the apartment where Zhao Ruxue lived, he had worn her pajamas too, so it was nothing out of the ordinary.

Now that Xiao Mei had taken out a set of pajamas for Ye Qiu, he noticed they carried her scent, as well as a faint whiff of Blue Moon laundry detergent.

After Xiao Mei brought over a pair of slippers for him, Ye Qiu slipped into them and took the pajamas to the bathroom to shower. After showering, he came out wearing them, and Xiao Mei, who was watching TV in the living room, almost burst out laughing at the sight.

"Do I look bad?"

"It’s passable."

In fact, Ye Qiu had only been average-looking before, or one might even say a bit nerdy. But now, with his cultivation, he emitted a completely different aura and quality than before.

It was just that Ye Qiu liked to wear the cheap clothes that Chen Fang bought for him from street vendors, so most people thought he was just a poor guy who collected trash.

But now, when Xiao Mei looked at Ye Qiu, she felt he was truly different.

As Ye Qiu sat down next to her to watch TV, Xiao Mei seemed to have a lot more to say to him than usual.

At Xingyue Group, Xiao Mei was usually reserved, like a very aloof director, but once familiar with someone, she could be quite talkative.

It was well past eleven at night when Ye Qiu was preparing to return to the guest room to continue his cultivation, and Xiao Mei asked, "Ye Qiu, are you hungry? Would you like me to make something for you to eat?"

"I’m not very hungry."

At that moment, Ye Qiu suddenly realized Xiao Mei was somewhat like his sister, just as gentle, and also inclined to offer him food.

"Forget it, let’s go out for some late-night food instead!"

Xiao Mei suggested.

Just as Ye Qiu was about to say something, Xiao Mei had already returned to her room to change out of her nightgown and into a summer outfit. She came out of the room and asked Ye Qiu if he wanted to change into a different set of clothes.

However, there were no men’s clothes available here.

"We can just head out as is."

Ye Qiu replied.

Xiao Mei hadn’t expected Ye Qiu to be unconcerned about going out in his pajamas.

When Xiao Mei grabbed her wallet and phone and left the apartment with Ye Qiu—in his slippers and pajamas—they took the elevator down. The two security guards at the lobby originally thought that Ye Qiu would leave soon that night.

However, they were surprised to see Ye Qiu’s car still parked there the whole time, which made them suspect that Miss Xiao had an unspeakable secret with this young man.

They never expected to actually see Xiao Mei and Ye Qiu in his pajamas coming down from the apartment.

The pair passed by the security booth and walked to a nearby food stall to have their late-night snack.

Overall, when Ye Qiu was in Jiangbei, he knew that the food at street stalls was tastier than that of restaurants, although it might not be as sanitary. Otherwise, there was nothing much to worry about.

Ye Qiu and Xiao Mei were now walking over, possibly because Ye Qiu was wearing pajamas, and Xiao Mei’s appearance easily attracted the attention of others. As soon as the two of them sat down at this popular food stall, they caught the attention of many customers who were eating late-night snacks.

Usually, Xiao Mei wouldn’t dare to go out alone at night, except for that night when she ran into those thugs. She was also afraid of encountering other perverts.

But now, with Ye Qiu by her side, Xiao Mei didn’t feel scared.

After confirming the number of diners, a female waitress brought over tea and tableware, then handed the menu to Ye Qiu. He looked at it and saw that the menu offered quite an assortment of dishes—stir-fried, pan-fried, boiled, grilled dishes, noodle and porridge varieties, and perhaps dozens of kinds of dumplings.

Ye Qiu casually chose seven or eight dishes, a shrimp and crab porridge, and then ordered two bottles of ice-cold beer, which seemed about right.

When the female waitress walked away, Ye Qiu had been paying attention and noticed that a dyed-hair kid had been stealthily following them. He had been aware of this since he and Xiao Mei had left the apartment complex.

Xiao Mei, however, seemed oblivious.

Ye Qiu now guessed that the dyed-hair kid was one of the thugs he had taught a lesson the other night.

It turned out that these thugs were not ready to give up, and it seemed they were still after Xiao Mei.

As the waitress brought over the glasses and two bottles of ice-cold beer, Ye Qiu looked at Xiao Mei and asked, "Do you believe that I can open the beer cap without using any tools?"

Xiao Mei was somewhat puzzled.

The waitress, holding the bottle opener and ready to open the two bottles of beer for Ye Qiu, didn’t expect that Ye Qiu could actually do it without using it.

Ye Qiu didn’t bite the beer cap or use any other tools. He just placed a finger on the bottle cap and when he lifted his hand away, the cap had been opened.

The waitress was very surprised!

Xiao Mei too couldn’t believe it.

"It’s nothing." Ye Qiu said.

Ye Qiu poured half a glass of beer for Xiao Mei and then half for himself.

The thug who was sitting alone drinking and snacking on peanuts took out his phone and whispered, "Quail bro, that guy and that gorgeous chick are at the food stall having a late-night snack."

"Keep an eye on them, we’ll be there soon!" Quail bro replied.

When Ye Qiu heard the thug talking on the phone, he was now certain that the thug had come for him and Xiao Mei.

If he didn’t leave them with a lasting impression this time, he wouldn’t be worthy of the Ye surname.

Xiao Mei took a few sips of beer and felt it was fine. However, Ye Qiu had only let her drink a bit and didn’t allow her to have too much.

As the dishes Ye Qiu had ordered were brought to the table one after another by the food stall’s waitstaff, with the shrimp and crab porridge being served last, Ye Qiu and Xiao Mei ate and chatted happily.

When they were nearly half full, Ye Qiu finally saw Quail bro, the guy who had his face scraped by the car window that night, leading a bunch of thugs. They were carrying fruit knives or iron rods or pipes, strutting around with the cockiness of crabs.

It took Xiao Mei a while to notice and she immediately felt afraid, saying, "Dr. Ye, those thugs have come again."

"Don’t worry about them, let’s continue eating," Ye Qiu responded.

His expression remained the same.

Xiao Mei was somewhat afraid; she now somewhat regretted taking Ye Qiu out for a late-night snack. She felt that if they had not come out for a snack, they might not have encountered these thugs again.

But Xiao Mei was thinking too simply. Even if she hadn’t come out for a late-night snack, the thugs who had been waiting for a chance to retaliate wouldn’t have easily let her off.
