Chapter 1422: Chapter 1244: Xiao’ai, Dabao, Xiaobei

Zhou Xianzhi, because of her father’s relationship, was no longer bullied by anyone within the gang, and everyone who saw her had to respectfully address her as the young lady.

In the past, Zhou Xianzhi was always suppressed by Chen Lingyun and the others in the Longya Gang, even though Zhou Zixuan cared for her and the woman who had once been the top courtesan in the brothel also cared for her. However, she didn’t dare to be high-profile. Her clothing was always simple and unassuming, not daring to dress too ostentatiously.

But now things were different. She was no longer the timid Zhou Xianzhi of the past, and with her father doing well, she also had the means to buy finer clothes to wear.

The outfit she was wearing now had been specially made-to-order at Xiangshe Square. She had chosen the fabric herself, a water-blue skirt paired with a white jacket, unique in the whole world.

After changing into this new outfit, she made her way toward Long Aixi’s room.

She knew where Long Aixi’s room was, and at this time, he would usually be reading in his room. It was always permissible for her to visit and catch up with him.

She was currently staying in the guest room of the back courtyard. To get to Long Aixi’s place, she had to cross two courtyards and several long corridors. As she walked past the row of side rooms in the middle, she saw a familiar figure coming toward her.

Wasn’t that Zhou Chang, her half-brother from the same father? He was even holding a small medicine bottle in his hand.

Zhou Xianzhi suddenly smiled and stood still, waiting for Zhou Chang to approach.

Zhou Chang finally saw Zhou Xianzhi as well. Stopping in front of her, his tone was full of disdain, "I heard Miss Zhou’s Martial Arts skills have been growing increasingly formidable. You kept them remarkably hidden in the past, but now it seems you can return to bully others."

Zhou Xianzhi smiled faintly, still appearing gentle and fragile, "Brother, I don’t know what you’re talking about. My Martial Arts skills have always been quite poor, as you know."

"Quite poor?" Zhou Chang scoffed, "Spare me that act. You might fool others, but not me. It was you who injured Lingyun, wasn’t it? You really know how to ’hit someone without leaving marks.’ Today, I’m in a rush to deliver this medicine to Lingyun, so I won’t argue with you. But I’m warning you, don’t bully Lingyun again, or don’t blame me for hitting a woman."

"Is that so? Lingyun is injured?" Zhou Xianzhi didn’t care about what Zhou Chang had said, and continued in her soft tone, "Where did she get hurt?"

Zhou Chang glared fiercely at Zhou Xianzhi, "Just you remember this!"

After Zhou Chang had left, a cold smile appeared on the corner of Zhou Xianzhi’s mouth.

...

When Zhou Xianzhi arrived in front of Long Aixi’s room and saw that there was a light on, she knocked on the door.

To her surprise, Long Aixi quickly opened the door and seemed very excited at first sight of her, "You’re here?"

"Yes, Aixi, I didn’t have anything else to do, so I thought I’d come to see you," Zhou Xianzhi said, looking down slightly and smiling gently at Long Aixi.

Unexpectedly, Long Aixi suddenly fell silent.

He had just been reading in his room when he saw a swaying silhouette outside the door. The hairstyle closely resembled the one Xia Dabao had been wearing during the day, so he thought Xia Dabao had come over, which is why he hurried to open the door.

Add to that, the moment he opened the door and saw the person outside dressed in water-blue clothing, he assumed it was Xia Dabao. But it turned out to be Zhou Xianzhi, and therefore, his smile immediately stiffened, and hope turned into disappointment.

"Xianzhi, what brings you here?" asked Long Aixi.

"Aren’t there a lot of people coming to the Longya Gang nowadays? My father has gone off to deal with them, and I was bored all by myself, so I came to see you. We didn’t talk much during the day, and I thought you might be free now," Zhou Xianzhi continued looking softly at Long Aixi.
