"Ye Qi, I fancy some ice cream, could you get some for me? I'll be waiting over there," Gu Qingxin took out twenty yuan from her pocket and handed it to him, adding, "I'll treat you as a return gift."
Ye Qi was silent.
He accepted the money and strolled over to a nearby ice-cream booth. On his way back, he collided with someone due to the large crowd.
Ye Qi felt a metallic object brush against him. He turned around to look at the man who had bumped into him; the man also looked back at him...
Ye Qi's pupils contracted sharply. He turned to look in Gu Qingxin's direction. She was sitting on a bench in the middle of the square, probably massaging her legs because they were sore.
The evening wind blew her long hair, obscuring her face. She brushed her hair back behind her ears and looked at him, giving him a soft smile.
Like a radar, Ye Qi's gaze filtered out irrelevant people, focusing on a few unidentified men who were approaching Gu Qingxin from different directions.
