At that very moment, a delightful fragrance wafted into Fang Li's nostrils. Strangely, he hadn't noticed this scent when Sylvia had first embraced his arm. But now, the aroma was vividly present in Fang Li's mind.
Sylvia had brought her face close to Fang Li's, wearing a somewhat mischievous smile as she did so.
Under these circumstances, Fang Li naturally had a clear view of Sylvia's eyes, concealed beneath the brim of her hat.
Her eyes were like crystals, both clear and transparent. As Fang Li gazed into those eyes, he felt an inexplicable sensation rising within him.
To be honest, when a world-class Diva concealed her identity, appeared before you, engaged in conversation, and even held your hand like a girlfriend, anyone, even if they weren't usually flustered, would find themselves confused and flustered in such a situation.
But Fang Li didn't feel that way. Sylvia's every action was so relaxed and filled with an extraordinary sense of closeness that it was hard to associate her with the world-class Diva.
In other words, despite Fang Li knowing her true identity, he still hadn't fully grasped the reality of this young girl before him. Hence, he could interact with Sylvia just like he would with anyone else.
However, as he observed Sylvia's face up close and recalled the idol who had enchanted audiences on stage, Fang Li's mind began to superimpose the two images.
With these emotions driving him, Fang Li acted without thinking.
"Smack!"
A crisp sound suddenly echoed.
"Ouch!"
A pained yelp immediately followed.
Sylvia was clutching her forehead, retreating two steps.
It was only at this moment that Fang Li realized what had happened. He saw the hand that had made a flicking motion without him even noticing.
In other words, Fang Li had just flicked Sylvia on the forehead.
"What are you doing?" Sylvia stared at Fang Li while holding her forehead.
Fang Li suddenly felt a bit embarrassed. After coughing artificially, he glared at Sylvia and said, "Consider it a reminder."
"A reminder?" Sylvia blinked and asked with a somewhat puzzled expression on her face.
"Exactly, a reminder," Fang Li said, glancing at Sylvia and extending his hand. He lightly touched her forehead with one finger and continued, "Don't forget, in this world, there are thousands upon thousands of men at your feet. You shouldn't be so casual with physical contact with the opposite sex."
Hearing this, Sylvia blinked and instinctively asked, "Why?"
Fang Li gave a slight smile and offered this line, "Because it might make people can't help but want something more."
Leaving behind these words, Fang Li turned around and continued walking ahead.
Sylvia was left standing there, watching Fang Li's gradually departing figure. After a while, she seemed to understand something. Her charming face turned slightly red, and she quickly caught up with him.
However, as she followed, Sylvia muttered to herself, "What the hell? Didn't he realize that I'm just a young girl?"
In this way, Fang Li and Sylvia once again blended into the crowd.
And at that very moment, in a nearby alley, several heads peeked out.
As Fang Li and Sylvia gradually walked away, several people exchanged glances.
"…Did you see that?" This was one person's inquiry.
"…We saw…"
"…We saw…"
"…We saw…"
"…We saw…"
These were four people's responses.
Hidden in a nearby alley, there were five girls at this moment, each wearing hats and masks to conceal their identities. They looked at each other with a knowing smile, expressing a sense of joy and cunning.
That smile was filled with unspoken understanding, mixed with delight and mischief.
Their actions were surprisingly unanimous.
"Follow them…"
"Follow them…"
"Follow them…"
"Follow them…"
"Follow them…"
These were five people's statements.
Thus, the five girls immediately stealthily blended into the crowd, trailing behind Fang Li and Sylvia, despite the curious glances of onlookers.
…
Afterward, Fang Li and Sylvia seemed to have forgotten their initial purpose and casually strolled through the shopping street.
Sometimes they entered clothing stores.
Sometimes they visited ice cream shops.
Sometimes they headed to toy stores.
Sometimes they went to fast-food joints.
Just like enjoying a leisurely holiday, Fang Li and Sylvia explored shop after shop. Finally, they arrived at a park near the administrative district.
In the park, by the fountain and on a long bench, Fang Li and Sylvia both sat down. They held cold drinks and snacks in their hands, eating and conversing.
"It's been a while since I've had this much fun," Sylvia said with a smile while sipping her drink through a straw. "It wasn't in vain that I begged my manager for a day off."
"As long as you're happy," Fang Li replied nonchalantly as he munched on snacks. "Isn't it about time we get to the main topic?"
"…Well, I suppose," Sylvia began after a moment of silence, her tone becoming more serious.
"But before that, I want to ask you a question," She looked at Fang Li and inquired, "Can you tell me what kind of Ability Bo Xie possesses?"
"Bo Xie?" Fang Li's eyebrows furrowed.
Due to Bo Xie's lack of a user for a long time, information about Bo Xie was currently quite limited. Especially Bo Xie's Ability, apart from Fang Li, no one knew anything about it.
Seidoukan Academy had collected some data during Fang Li's previous battle with Toudou Kirin. However, Fang Li had manipulated air currents, then the ground, and even altered Bo Xie's appearance during that fight. With such inconsistent performances, it was challenging to deduce the true nature of Bo Xie's Ability.
Therefore, apart from Fang Li, the only person who knew Bo Xie's true Ability was probably Fan Xinglu, the Monster Immortal who created Bo Xie.
Considering this, anyone seeking information about Bo Xie would undoubtedly take action on this matter.
However, Fang Li didn't expect Sylvia, a world-class Diva, to do so.
Did she invite him out to try and gather information about Bo Xie through probing?
