Chapter 490: Chapter 489: Boss?

(Phew, 27 monthly tickets already, an unprecedented record, the best ever, truly thankful to all my brothers... Only two more days, let’s get a few more, haha...)

————————————————————————

"Oh, I just ran into someone I know and spoke a few words, hehe, Senior Brother, if you’re done with your business, let’s go... Huh? Xiao Yi, why are you bowing your head?"

Zeng Xiaomei did not notice Situ Qingfeng’s strange gaze. After giving a casual reply, she was about to turn around, exchange a few words with Xiao Yi, say goodbye, and then leave directly. She had never thought about introducing Xiao Yi and Situ Qingfeng to each other. In her eyes, the two belonged to completely different worlds. Situ Qingfeng’s world was even more distant than hers; there was simply no need for introductions as the two would never have any interaction.

But unexpectedly, as she turned around, she found that Xiao Yi, who had just spoken to her, had suddenly bowed his head so low it almost touched her neck. His posture looked extremely odd, which made her inadvertently reveal a look of surprise and slowly become angry. Her tone turned colder as she said, "Xiao Yi, what are you doing? Are you not too old to be playing this kind of game?"

While she spoke, she did not notice that behind her, Situ Qingfeng’s gaze fixed on Xiao Yi had drastically changed. His normally lax and lazy eyes, when looking at Xiao Yi, became as if cherishing the world’s greatest treasure or like staring at a long-lost lover, seemingly afraid that if he blinked, he might miss the chance to see him escape.

Moreover, his face showed a hint of disbelief. His expression became somewhat excited, even his usually unchanging face began to show a faint flush of exhilaration.

Listening to Zeng Xiaomei’s clearly hostile rebuke, Xiao Yi’s heart felt indescribably bitter, filled with immense frustration...

Situ Qingfeng, why was he here? Shouldn’t he be in Glass City...

Almost the moment Situ Qingfeng spoke, Xiao Yi had recognized his voice. That voice was very distinctive—it could only belong to him, always in that tone and timbre...

The uniqueness of his voice, in Xiao Yi’s view, was comparable only to very few people like Liu Sandao...

If there were an international ranking for unique voices, Situ Qingfeng’s voice would definitely be among the top ten...

He had imagined many ways of reuniting with Situ Qingfeng, but he had never thought that it would happen here, in this setting, in such a manner... This was undoubtedly... the last way he had wished for...

Not because this way was too sudden, not because it lacked romance...

And not because he felt that appearing before Situ Qingfeng in this manner seemed too dejected...

He knew very well that no matter how he appeared before Situ Qingfeng, no matter what posture he adopted, Situ Qingfeng would only have one attitude towards him—respect and gratitude...

He did not want this method simply because... at the scene of this method... there was a Zeng Xiaomei!

To her, he was just an ordinary student, and he very much hoped to always remain just that in her mind because that would give him a great advantage!

He had too many things that Zeng Xiaomei did not know about, and which he hoped Zeng Xiaomei would never find out...

The moment he heard Situ Qingfeng’s voice, his instinct was to run...

With his abilities, Situ Qingfeng would definitely not be able to catch up if he ran, but that would still mean revealing his identity and exposing his skills right in front of Zeng Xiaomei. Besides, you can escape a monk but not the temple—Zeng Xiaomei knew him very well and could easily locate him at University Z.

Until the matter with the old man was settled, and he was permitted to leave, he was definitely going to stay at University Z...

Thus, he could only pray, pray that Situ Qingfeng wouldn’t notice him, this inconspicuous fellow, and pray that after Zeng Xiaomei and Situ Qingfeng finished talking, they would simply leave him behind and go their separate ways.

Unfortunately, God, Buddha, and all the gods seemed to be sleeping or drunk—no one heard his prayers. Zeng Xiaomei actually turned her head back to talk to him, and Situ Qingfeng also seemed quite curious about him...

"Officer Zeng, you have something to do, you can go first. I’m not feeling well, so I’ll leave first as well."

It took a while before Xiao Yi mustered his Cultivation Technique, forced his throat, and in a changed voice, spoke to Zeng Xiaomei. After speaking, he didn’t wait for her response and walked towards a nearby alley in a very ridiculous manner.

"Xiao Yi, what in the world are you doing? Stop right there!"

Zeng Xiaomei was simply furious. She didn’t believe any of Xiao Yi’s nonsense about feeling unwell. He had been perfectly fine just moments ago; how could he have suddenly gotten ill the moment she turned away?

Moreover, his changed voice infuriated her even more—she felt that Xiao Yi was mocking and playing tricks on her, an officer.

Her face suddenly seemed covered with a layer of frost, her face turned an iron shade, and she angrily shouted at Xiao Yi.

But this time, Xiao Yi didn’t listen to her at all and continued to walk forward briskly, continuing in that altered voice, "I’m sorry, Officer Zeng, I really have to leave first. Let’s chat another time!"

Unbelievable!

This little rascal was daring to ignore her shouts!

Ignoring the shouts of her, an officer!

Zeng Xiaomei had never imagined that Xiao Yi, who had always appeared timid before her, behaving like a mouse seeing a cat, would suddenly dare to be so bold. He even ignored her angry shouting directly—she almost ground her teeth to bits, clenched her teeth tightly, her breath caught in her chest, and for a moment, she couldn’t even speak.

With great difficulty, she finally caught her breath and stared at Xiao Yi’s retreating figure, almost without hesitation preparing to continue to scold him. She even pulled out her service pistol, intending to scare him a bit.

"Boss!"

However, just as Zeng Xiaomei was about to speak, an unbelievable event unfolded. The Senior Brother she had just ignored, Situ Qingfeng, who in her eyes was extremely powerful, suddenly dashed toward Xiao Yi like lightning, while a voice filled with trembling excitement rang out.

Boss...?

Zeng Xiaomei’s hand, which was clutching her gun, suddenly trembled, almost dropping the gun to the ground.

Was Situ Qingfeng calling him boss?

Wasn’t Situ the Big Senior Brother? Could there be another Big Senior Brother?

If it’s not Big Senior Brother, then who is his boss?

A puzzled look suddenly appeared on Zeng Xiaomei’s face as she looked ahead...

However, as she looked, her expression instantly turned into one of petrification...

There, Situ Qingfeng, who had always been tremendously proud in front of anyone except occasionally showing a kinder face to his junior sister, was now tightly hugging the very Xiao Yi who had been playing a bizarre act to tease her, whom she was about to sternly teach a lesson to!

And on his face, which most of the time appeared cold, aloof, and composed, showing rarely any expression, was now filled with excitement she had never seen before.

This...

Am I seeing things?

Unable to help herself, Zeng Xiaomei reached out to rub her eyes and looked again.

But the result was clear, Situ Qingfeng was still tightly hugging Xiao Yi...

Could it be... the boss that Situ Qingfeng was calling out just now... was this jerk?

This... impossible, right?

Is the world too crazy... or am I too out of touch?

He must have mistaken the person, right? How could this jerk possibly be Situ Qingfeng’s boss? And, I’ve investigated him, he really is a student from University Z, Xiaoxiao’s classmate, right?

Could Situ have mistaken the person?

"Ahem, that, you’ve mistaken the person..."

Just as the thought crossed Zeng Xiaomei’s mind, Xiao Yi’s voice rang out again.

Really mistaken the person? Zeng Xiaomei’s gaze immediately turned toward the source of the voice.

Feeling the burning gaze from Zeng Xiaomei and the bear hug from Situ Qingfeng, along with the excited strength transmitted by his arms, a bitter smile appeared in Xiao Yi’s heart, realizing he ultimately couldn’t escape.

He had finally been recognized by Situ Qingfeng.

But his face revealed a hint of confusion and embarrassment, knowing that this moment was his last chance, he had to be firm and absolutely try his best to keep Zeng Xiaomei from finding anything out, otherwise, things might really turn sour later.

"Boss, how could I mistake someone else for you? You know my memory, although not as good as yours, is still absolutely top-notch. Besides, even if I did mistake someone, I could never mistake you!"

Situ Qingfeng’s gaze was firmly fixed on Xiao Yi’s face, a strange and puzzled look on his face.

No mistake, it definitely is Boss. Though I don’t know why, Boss changed his name to Xiao Yi and changed his clothes, looking a bit like a student, but this is definitely my Boss, the one I fought bloody battles alongside, the one who rescued me from piles of corpses, the boss I admire most!

Not only the face shape is the same, but the body shape as well, he can’t possibly be mistaken!

Especially after embracing him like this, there’s no way he could be wrong. The scent from Boss, that feeling, he could never mistake it.

"You... you really got the wrong person, I really am not any kind of boss... I’ve never been anyone’s boss!"

Xiao Yi almost felt like crying, constantly cursing in his heart, Situ Qingfeng, you idiot, I’m telling you you’ve got the wrong person, why can’t you see that? You’re not normally this dumb, you’re actually quite sharp, how could your IQ have dropped so drastically after a while..." (To be continued.
