Chapter 194: Chapter 194 Sinking Deeper_1

Zhang Xian ignored Du Xinyan and walked off, bag in hand.

That lass was already so exhausted she could hardly walk, and yet she insisted on pushing herself. Why was she intentionally making things difficult for herself?

"What’s going on?" Zhu Yan widened her eyes.

Scandalous rumors had already been spreading about Zhang Xian and Du Xinyan, and now with this action, was Zhang Xian really going to turn those rumors into reality?

"It seems like there’s something fishy between Zhang Xian and Du Xinyan," Lin Ruoyi said, her expression somewhat strange.

Wang Lei watched as Zhang Xian carried the bags of the three most beautiful girls in school, feeling a surge of irritation. How come the gap between them was so large even though they were both handsome fellows?

He had been pursuing Zhu Yan for quite some time, but he never received any positive response. As for Zhang Xian, the moment he arrived, he blended in with the three beauty queens of the school. Was he trying to rub salt in his wound?

"Who is this kid?" Over there, Ji Yongzhe was frowning deeply.

He could tell that the relationship between Zhang Xian and Lin Ruoyi was not simple. All along the way, Lin Ruoyi was also competing with Zhu Yan, as if they were fighting for favor.

Admittedly, he felt threatened. Through his family’s influence, he had successfully established connections with the Lin family, and without their support from the Ji family, the Lin family could fall apart at any moment.

Despite her father’s pressure, Lin Ruoyi refused to get engaged with him. Now she was competing for favor with a beauty. Was he, Ji Yongzhe, really that inferior?

"Zhang Xian ... Could you return my bag?" Du Xinyan could feel everyone’s eyes on her and wished she could crawl into a hole.

The inexplicable scandal with Zhang Xian had already made her unbearably embarrassed, and now with this happening, wasn’t it just highlighting the non-existent relationship between them?

No, she couldn’t allow this to happen. She was still considering how to distance herself from Zhang Xian when all of a sudden, she started chasing after him.

She had to take her bag back in front of everyone.

Zhang Xian knew what Du Xinyan meant, and suddenly quickened his pace, as though he was walking on flat ground.

"You..." Du Xinyan saw that when she sped up, Zhang Xian did too, and when she slowed down, he slowed down to match her pace, which irritated her immensely.

However, this aroused her anger, prompting her to continue the chase with gritted teeth. For her, this was the perfect opportunity to clarify their relationship, as no one would believe her words alone.

One in front, one behind, one fast, one slow.

Zhang Xian always maintained a distance of five to seven meters from Du Xinyan, whether fast or slow.

Already exhausted from the start, Du Xinyan couldn’t hold on after the chase. In the end, she leaned on a rock with a cool expression on her face.

"Um..."

The students were dumbfounded. What on earth were the two of them doing?

Zhang Xian saw that Du Xinyan could no longer move, he walked over smiling and asked, "Need a hand?"

"Mind your own business," Du Xinyan retorted angrily.

Zhang Xian ignored her anger, reached out and took her warm little hand.

"You..." Du Xinyan’s face changed slightly as she tried to get up and resist.

Just then, a cool sensation coursed through her body from her arm, making every inch of her body incredibly comfortable, as though she was in an air-conditioned room.

In this state, she suddenly forgot about resisting and just leaned against the rock, allowing Zhang Xian to hold her hand.

"What the hell is going on here?"

"So it’s true, Zhang Xian and Du Xinyan are together, they’re even holding hands in public."

"Sigh, another school beauty has been taken, and by the same guy. What’s worse, he’s flirting right under the noses of two other school beauties."

"Damn, this guy is a stud, I wonder if his mother knows?"

The students were shocked by the scene before them, confused and annoyed. Weren’t the two of them arguing just a while ago? How did they turn into lovebirds?

"So comfortable..." Du Xinyan’s face showed pure enjoyment.

She didn’t know what Zhang Xian was doing, or what magical method he had. But without a doubt, she felt her fatigue disappearing.

Yes, she was completely re-energized as if she had just had a good rest, full of energy.

"Damn..."

The students’ faces changed again.

Du Xinyan was holding hands with Zhang Xian, looking blissful. What was happening?

"What the hell is he doing?" Zhu Qing was fuming.

At this moment, she increasingly felt that the rumors about Zhang Xian, Lin Ruoyi, and Du Xinyan weren’t just rumors, but true. This guy was definitely cheating!

Lin Ruoyi’s beautiful eyes flickered, unable to figure out the situation.

Wang Lei and Ji Yongzhe squatted on the ground, their faces dark as pots.

Today, they truly suffered a blow. They couldn’t understand how Zhang Xian was so popular and sought-after by girls.

The girls they had been pursuing for a long time had shown no response, but were now attracted to the same man, and even appeared to be jealous of each other.

Damn, the girls they were after would rather fight over a man than considering them, how did that make them feel?

"Alright." Suddenly, Zhang Xian let go of her hand and continued on his way.

Du Xinyan, shaken, looked utterly shocked. Upon noticing everyone around her staring at her in surprise, her pretty face flushed red as if it were about to start bleeding.

I’m done for, she thought to herself. She was trying to distance herself from Zhang Xian, yet she found herself getting more involved. Why is this happening?

Thinking of how content she had just appeared, she felt the urge to end her life.

"Xinyan, what happened to you just now? Were you so ecstatic because Zhang Xian was holding your hand?" Luo Xiaoxiao jogged over with her question. "But, you know, Zhang Xian has quite the nerve; Lin Ruoyi and Zhu Yan were standing right there, and he was still acting all lovey-dovey with you. I have to admit, I’ve never seen a guy more audacious than him. The guy’s got three women on the line and he’s still so damn cocky."

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Du Xinyan grit her teeth, "I have nothing to do with him. Nothing at all."

Luo Xiaoxiao responded, "Du Xinyan, isn’t it a bit underhanded to keep something like this a secret? I see you pretending to have no pleasure at all, but I figured it out, didn’t I?"

"I..." Du Xinyan knew her explanations would not clear the air, so she decided not to bother and walked away.

Luo Xiaoxiao was stunned. Wasn’t this girl too tired just now? How come she’s suddenly so lively? Is she trying to earn Zhang Xian’s sympathy?

Tsk tsk, seems like the competition among the three school beauties is getting incredibly heated.

...

Zhu Qing had been feeling low these past few days, her mind and spirit out of sync, even bumping into things when walking.

She figured Zhang Xian’s absence was due to him escaping from something. Her little tantrum wasn’t enough to justify him not coming back for two consecutive days.

Maybe he really does have another woman.

"Qingqing, what’s up with you today? Are you not feeling well?" Liu Xiaowen asked, puzzled.

"Mom, I’m fine." Zhu Qing shook her head, smiling.

She didn’t intend to discuss it with Liu Xiaowen and she didn’t dare. She felt that she couldn’t live without Zhang Xian, and might choose to back down, but Liu Xiaowen might not accept this.

"Arrgh, why are there no pretty girls in this market? It’s filled with older ladies!" Shen Nanshan, following Zhu Qing, muttered, somewhat annoyed.

Xu Lei scoffed, "What, you thought this was the red-light district? Filled with beauties?"

Gao Longfei remarked coldly, "Exactly! This is a food market. It’s obvious that the majority of the people here will be older women."

Shen Nanshan shook his head, wearing a sigh on his face.

Just then, a crowd suddenly rushed over, each brandishing a weapon.

"What’s happening?" Xu Lei was freaked out, puzzled.

"Fuck, they’re coming for us." After noticing their attention fixed on Zhu Qing, Shen Nanshan’s mouth twitched and he braced himself for a fight.

Xu Lei and Gao Longfei joined Shen Nanshan, positioning themselves to shield Zhu Qing and Liu Xiaowen.

"Get them!" The leader gestured, waving his weapon. "Knock the men down! Grab the women and take them back with us."

Xu Lei, Gao Longfei, and Shen Nanshan grinned, choosing to charge forward instead of retreating.

"What’s happening?" Liu Xiaowen was horrified.

Zhu Qing shook her head, gently pulling Liu Xiaowen back. "Mom, be careful. These guys might’ve been sent by the person behind all this. They’re not giving up."

Liu Xiaowen fretted, "Qingqing, when did our family anger such powerful people? First it was the company incident, then I was kidnapped, and now this."

...

At noon, the scorching sun tormented the earth like a brawny brute.

Zhang Xian and the others took a break halfway up the mountain, had a bite to eat, then resumed their journey. They were still about two hours away from the peak.

"Dingaling..." A cell phone ringtone suddenly echoed.

Zhu Yan took her phone out of her bag and, upon checking the caller ID, accepted the call. "Sister, calling me now... got some good news?"

"Where is that man Zhang Xian?"

Zhu Yan paused, then laughed, "Ah, so you’re looking for Brother-in-law, sis? Weren’t you the one who said not to call him, to let him return willingly and receive his punishment? Couldn’t resist, huh?"

"Enough with your chatter, let your brother-in-law pick up the phone. I have something to ask him."

"Alright, alright, I’ll find him for you." Zhu Yan chuckled, jogged over to Zhang Xian, and handed him the phone, "Here, my sister’s calling."

Zhang Xian stepped back, skeptical. "What does she want?"

"Do you really need to behave like this?" Zhu Yan looked at Zhang Xian with a scornful expression. "She said she needs to discuss something with you. Seemed rather urgent too. You better not mess around."

Zhang Xian hesitated for a moment, then picked up the phone, "Qingqing, have you been missing me?"

"What do you think? Where have you been these past two days?"

With an awkward laugh, Zhang Xian replied, "Well, Qingqing, I’ve been a bit busy. I won’t be able to come home for the next couple of days. Don’t worry about me, okay?"

"How can I not worry? Don’t think I don’t know what you’re doing out there. If you dare, don’t come back." Zhu Qing roared on the other end of the line.

"Uh...did you call me just to scold me?" Zhang Xian laughed, "Yan Yan mentioned that you seemed really anxious. Is something up?"

"Mom and I were attacked again this morning and almost got nabbed."

Startled, Zhang Xian shot up, "Fuck! Who was it?"
