God-Level All-rounder Expert-Chapter 270 - 290 - s, In the Rain (7th update)

The atmosphere was subtle.

Fang Yi had said it casually, but Xia Ziqi couldn’t help but take it seriously.

Xia Ziqi looked at Fang Yi in surprise, her beautiful eyes wide, disbelieving.

"You... you..."

Xia Ziqi involuntarily stepped back.

"Just kidding, just kidding, don’t take it seriously," Fang Yi quickly explained.

"Who jokes like that?" Xia Ziqi snapped.

"I was wrong, I will never joke like that again," Fang Yi said.

Perhaps seeing Fang Yi’s sincere attitude, Xia Ziqi was conflicted and truly didn’t know whether to believe his words or not.

"It’s noon, let’s go have lunch," Fang Yi said, changing the subject to prevent Xia Ziqi from thinking further and misunderstanding him even more.

Xia Ziqi slightly lowered her head and hummed in agreement.

The two left the shop and Fang Yi took Xia Ziqi away.

This time, Fang Yi wasn’t so bold and didn’t take the opportunity to flirt with Xia Ziqi, to avoid deeper misunderstandings.

Soon, they randomly found a small restaurant and settled for a meal there.

Xia Ziqi merely ate and did not talk much; it was hard to tell whether she was angry or not, she seemed very calm.

Fang Yi couldn’t read Xia Ziqi’s mind and didn’t dare act shamelessly.

Leaving the small restaurant, the weather suddenly changed.

Summer weather is most unpredictable, the hot weather changing momentarily.

Fang Yi got on the bicycle, with Xia Ziqi sitting at the back. On their way back, thunder roared in the sky as if the God of Thunder was furious and the wind began to blow fiercely.

At first, Xia Ziqi kept her distance, just holding onto Fang Yi’s waistband, but as the wind grew wilder, Xia Ziqi, like before, hugged Fang Yi.

Fang Yi felt a spark of joy and Xia Ziqi shouted loudly, "Don’t get the wrong idea, I... I’m just afraid of falling."

Fang Yi also shouted, "Hold on tighter, or you’ll fall and ruin your face."

Xia Ziqi pursed her lips and after a moment of silence said, "Okay!"

The two had an unspoken understanding, neither mentioning the earlier incident nor challenging each other’s positions.

However, luck wasn’t on their side as shortly after, large raindrops accompanied by roaring thunder started to fall.

The large raindrops showed no mercy, quickly turning into a downpour.

The heavy rain poured down relentlessly.

At that point, Fang Yi and Xia Ziqi were on the road, with a flower bed beside them and a pavilion not far away. By the time they reached the pavilion, they were almost drenched to the bone.

Fang Yi brought the bicycle inside to prevent it from getting wet and rusting. Nearby, Xia Ziqi entered the pavilion, shaking her head and flicking off the water droplets, her dark lush hair whipping beautifully.

Fang Yi watched, captivated, and a middle-aged man in glasses nearby also watched intently.

The middle-aged man, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, a white shirt, and suit pants, and carrying a briefcase, had a sleazy smile. There was a term for such a man: a beast in scholar’s clothing.

Fang Yi averted his gaze, moved a step, and stood in front of Xia Ziqi, blocking the man’s view, and then fiercely glared at him.

"What are you looking at?" Fang Yi asked knowingly.

"I was just looking, what about it?" the man in glasses responded, thinking he could take on Fang Yi in a fight as he was only a youth. freewebnøvel_com

"You’re feeling bold, huh? Try looking again," Fang Yi challenged.

"I’ll try it," the man in glasses retorted, standing tall.

But just as the words left the man’s mouth, Fang Yi stepped forward, grabbed the man’s collar, and slapped his face several times.

"I’m giving you what you asked for!"

At that moment, Fang Yi was like a gangster, utterly dominant, dealing several slaps that left the man crying in pain and begging for mercy.

But Fang Yi didn’t feel like letting this guy off; he was already a bit upset, so how could he stop now?

However, Xia Ziqi couldn’t stand it anymore and quickly cried out, "Fang Yi, stop!"

Fang Yi had no choice but to stop, pushing the man in glasses away.

"Don’t let me see you again, I’ll hit you every time I do," Fang Yi threatened.

The man in glasses didn’t say another word, nor did he dare linger any longer, regardless of the pouring rain outside, he awkwardly fled, using his briefcase as a shield over his head.

"Damn! Even daring to ogle my woman, he’s really asking for trouble," Fang Yi muttered, dusting off his hands and casually pulling out a cigarette from his pocket and lighting it.

The atmosphere in the pavilion was exceptionally quiet.

Outside, the heavy rain made a loud noise, mist rising from the ground, obscuring any sight of people, other than the sound of rain, there was complete silence.

Fang Yi, with a cigarette in his mouth, suddenly met Xia Ziqi’s angry gaze.

Xia Ziqi’s expression was calm, but her beautiful eyes held a trace of warm anger: "How could you hit someone so casually..."

"He was looking at you," Fang Yi breathed out smoke.

"Just because he looked? It’s not like it costs me a limb, but you...," Xia Ziqi stomped her foot in frustration.

"But I won’t allow other men to look at you," Fang Yi declared.

Xia Ziqi paused, staring blankly at the man before her.

A lock of her hair was wet against her forehead, her complexion slightly pale, possibly due to the sudden drop in temperature. However, what shook Xia Ziqi the most was Fang Yi’s statement.

He wouldn’t allow other men to look at her...

What did this mean?

Although Xia Ziqi was somewhat naive, having experienced past relationships, how could she not understand the implication of Fang Yi’s words?

But could she accept this?

Xia Ziqi bit her lip and said, "You... you’re being too overbearing."

Fang Yi looked at her and simply stated, "That’s who I am."

Under Fang Yi’s gaze, Xia Ziqi wanted to avert her eyes, but ultimately, after a deep breath, she met Fang Yi’s gaze and said, "There’s no chance for us."

Having finally spoken her mind, Xia Ziqi didn’t feel any relief. Thinking back to all her interactions with the man before her, she felt very upset.

However, to Xia Ziqi’s surprise, Fang Yi didn’t back down. He showed no shock, no anger, no discouragement, but made a move that shocked her even more.
