"Sun Qian, what nonsense are you talking about?"

Xia Ruoxue blushed even more.

She pinched Sun Qian's waist.

"Ouch, I'm dying." Sun Qian quickly begged for mercy.

While pinching Sun Qian, Xia Ruoxue observed Ye Beichen's expression to see how he would react.

Unfortunately, Ye Beichen's expression remained calm, leaving Xia Ruoxue quite disappointed.

"Where... where have you been all these years?" Xia Ruoxue released her grip and looked at Ye Beichen. "I... everyone has been looking for you for a long time."

A quick look at "pawread.com" will leave you more fulfilled.

"With your grades, you clearly got into Zhonghai University. Why didn't you go?"

Xia Ruoxue knew that Ye Beichen had applied to Zhonghai University.

She specifically changed her application to enter Zhonghai University.

But unfortunately, she waited from freshman year to senior year, all the way to graduation, and never saw Ye Beichen.

"My family had some issues, just like she said earlier."

Ye Beichen pointed at Sun Qian.

Xia Ruoxue quickly apologized, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to remind you of those things."

"Have you found the culprit who killed your parents and brother?"

Ye Beichen was silent for a moment. "Not yet."

"So, for the past five years, have you been looking for the culprit?" Xia Ruoxue asked.

"More or less."

Ye Beichen nodded slightly.

Xia Ruoxue looked at Ye Beichen with a pained expression.

This boy was so outstanding back then, many girls had a crush on him!

Everyone thought Ye Beichen had a bright future ahead!

Who knew the Ye Family would suffer such a tragedy, and Xia Ruoxue cried for a long time because of it!

"Now that you're back, it's good. Let the past be the past." Xia Ruoxue smiled gently, trying not to remind Ye Beichen of those days.

"Life is long, if you still want to study, you can take the Civil Aptitude Test."

"You can still go to college."

"At most, study for a few more years, and you'll still have a bright future."

She quickly changed the subject, "By the way, are you here in Jinling for sightseeing?"

"There are lots of snacks here, how about I take you to try some?"

"My treat!"

"Do you have a place to stay tonight?"

"If not, I can arrange a place for you!"

"Sun Qian, you can sleep with me tonight, and he can rest in my room." Xia Ruoxue chirped like a lark.

"Ah... oh, okay." Sun Qian was a bit stunned, not reacting for a moment, just nodding repeatedly.

'Oh my god!'

'Since when did Ruoxue act like this?'

'Inviting someone to dinner?'

'And taking them home to sleep? In her room?'

'Other guys don't even have her contact information!!!'

'He must be someone she likes!'

'And he's quite handsome, with a good build, and that cold demeanor is pretty cool!' Sun Qian thought to herself.

Ye Beichen shook his head slightly and replied, "No need, I'm here to find someone."

"You're looking for someone, did you make an appointment?" Xia Ruoxue's eyes showed a hint of disappointment.

This is the Night Market, a street full of snacks.

Those who come here at night are either besties or couples!

Ye Beichen made an appointment and came to the snack street?

Could it be his girlfriend?

Thinking of this, Xia Ruoxue's face turned a bit pale.

Sun Qian noticed Xia Ruoxue's condition and was somewhat angry. She looked at Ye Beichen and asked sharply, "Is this how you treat people?"

"Ruoxue hasn't had a boyfriend throughout her four years of college because of you."

"She hasn't even interacted with any guys!"

"You disappeared for five years without a word, and now you have a girlfriend?"

"And you come here to date in front of our Ruoxue?"

"What kind of man are you!"

Sun Qian pointed at Ye Beichen's nose.

"What girlfriend?"

Ye Beichen was a bit frustrated and shook his head. "I'm here to find someone, not a girlfriend."

"Not a girlfriend, huh." Sun Qian felt a bit embarrassed. "Ahem... got a bit too excited, you guys continue."

"Sorry, sorry."

She felt quite embarrassed and moved aside on her own.

Sun Qian swore never to be the comedic relief again.

Xia Ruoxue, however, was delighted, her smile returning. As long as Ye Beichen didn't have a girlfriend, she had a chance. "Um, where's your friend?"

"Well, not sure where they went, I'll look around." Ye Beichen thought for a moment and replied.

The Night Market street was several hundred meters long.

He could sense that the sniper was among the crowd.

But he didn't know the exact location.

The other party didn't dare to leave the Night Market rashly, because if they left alone, Ye Beichen would notice immediately.

So, Scorpion was using the crowd at the Night Market as cover.

"Alright, let me show you around, I'm very familiar with this place." Xia Ruoxue smiled brightly.

She led Ye Beichen down the street, introducing the snack street.

She also talked about her time at Zhonghai University.

She shared some fun stories from her college life.

"Tsk tsk tsk, I never realized Ruoxue was such a chatterbox." Sun Qian walked behind them, clicking her tongue in amazement.

The cold goddess could turn into a little bunny in front of someone she liked.

"Sigh, if those people saw Ruoxue treating a guy like this."

"They'd be so jealous!"

Sun Qian covered her mouth, giggling.

Ye Beichen was multitasking, listening to Xia Ruoxue while secretly searching for Scorpion's whereabouts.

Suddenly, Ye Beichen's eyes darkened, looking in a certain direction.

"Huh?"

Xia Ruoxue noticed Ye Beichen's gaze was fixed on a noodle shop.

She misunderstood, thinking Ye Beichen was hungry and wanted noodles.

"This noodle shop is pretty good, I come here often."

"I'll treat you."

"Oh, their Yangchun Noodles are the best."

Xia Ruoxue said as she walked gracefully to the noodle shop and smiled, "Auntie, three bowls of Yangchun Noodles, with an egg."

"Oh, it's Ruoxue, bringing a boy today, is he your boyfriend?" The noodle shop auntie smiled. "He's a nice young man."

"Auntie, don't say that, we're just classmates." Xia Ruoxue lowered her head shyly, glancing at Ye Beichen from the corner of her eye.

Meanwhile, Ye Beichen's gaze was fixed inside the noodle shop.

In a corner sat a young man!

He was holding a bowl of noodles, eating while scrolling on his phone!

Ye Beichen stared at him, his eyes icy cold.

The man's forehead began to sweat, thinking to himself, 'Damn, did he find me? How's that possible! How could he possibly spot me? My disguise is so good, I look just like an ordinary college student.'

Ye Beichen stood there, unmoved.

One minute!

Two minutes!

Three minutes!

Ye Beichen just stood there, fixed in place.

"Noodles are ready."

The noodle shop auntie served the noodles.

"Beichen, come in and sit." Xia Ruoxue waved at Ye Beichen, holding a bowl of noodles as she walked to the table, just three meters away from Scorpion.

"Damn!"

Scorpion suddenly cursed, realizing he had been tricked. "Ye Beichen, you were trying to scare me, weren't you?"

"You think I'm easily scared?"

Scorpion slammed the table, moving swiftly, kicking off the wall, and pounced like a tiger.

"Ah!"

Xia Ruoxue screamed as a steel blade was pressed against her throat. "Get out of here immediately, or I'll kill this girl."
