Chapter 1431: Chapter 1253: Xiao’ai, Dabao, Xiaobei

Long Aixi sat down next to Xia Dabao, but this time was not as excited and appeared very calm, "I know why you suddenly became so cold towards me."

"Cold?" Xia Dabao’s heart tightened, and she didn’t know what to say.

She felt, at this moment, they resembled a couple who were quarreling.

"Dabao, these past few days you have been angry with me and ignoring me, is it because of Zhou Xianzhi? It must be something she said to you, right?" Long Aixi asked.

Xia Dabao’s first reaction was to shake her head, "She didn’t tell me anything."

"She surely must have told you something!" Long Aixi said, this time with an intense gaze that made Xia Dabao’s heart suddenly beat faster.

Xia Dabao thought to herself that Zhou Xianzhi had merely talked about how they had played together since they were young and were very familiar with each other. But if she got angry over this, wouldn’t it seem like she was being jealous? So she added, "She really didn’t say anything."

Long Aixi, however, did not withdraw his intense gaze but continued to look at her and ask, "Are you blaming me for being close to Zhou Xianzhi? If so, I can tell you for sure that Zhou Xianzhi and I are not close. Indeed, she was often ridiculed back in the Dragon Fang gang, and I merely stepped in to see fair play because I am the Young Master of the Dragon Fang gang. But I had never had any private interactions with her."

"No private interactions? Then what was she doing last night reading books at your place?" Xia Dabao blurted out without thinking.

When Long Aixi heard Xia Dabao ask this, he was not annoyed but actually quite happy, "She said she couldn’t sleep, so she came over to borrow a couple of books, and she has already returned them today. If you don’t like it, I won’t lend her books anymore."

Xia Dabao also felt a trace of joy in her heart, but she still said, "They are your books; you can lend them to whoever you want. I’m not your boss, so why should I have a say in whom you lend your books to?"

"My books, from now on, I’ll only lend them to you. If anyone else comes, I won’t lend them," Long Aixi said to Xia Dabao.

Xia Dabao suddenly felt not a trace of anger towards Long Aixi. She wanted to laugh, but instead she said, "Wouldn’t that make me look petty? If someone else comes to borrow a book, and you say I won’t allow it, what would others think of me?"

"I’ll just say my books are not for lending, I won’t say it’s because you don’t allow it," Long Aixi could see that Xia Dabao’s mood had improved, and he also started to smile.

At last, he had found the right approach.

"But Dabao, why do you dislike Zhou Xianzhi so much?" Long Aixi didn’t understand this point; was it just because she was close to him?

"Then do you know what kind of person Zhou Xianzhi is?" Xia Dabao asked.

Long Aixi shook his head, "She and I are not close, where would I pay attention to what kind of person she is? I have no interest in knowing what kind of person she is."

Xia Dabao simply said, "I have sparred with her, her Kung Fu is strong, even stronger than Chen Lingyun and the others, but she claims she was often bullied by Chen Lingyun. Do you think this is possible?"

"..." Long Aixi was also somewhat surprised; after thinking for a while, he asked Xia Dabao, "So, are you angry with me because I don’t know how to differentiate between the good and the bad? You are not..."

"Not what?" Xia Dabao asked.

What Long Aixi wanted to say was that she was jealous, but he just smiled and said, "Nothing."
