When the two girls came out of the theater after watching the movie, it was already around 9 PM.
Xuan Ying looked exhausted and dispirited, while Zhao Yan sighed inwardly at the sight, thinking to herself, "Ah, poor child."
"Has he gone home already?"
At the entrance of the cinema, Xuan Ying looked around, and when she didn't see that familiar figure, her eyes reddened.
"He's probably gone back already."
Zhao Yan took out her phone, saw that Su Cheng hadn't replied to her message, and told Xuan Ying as she put her phone away.
"Is... is that so?"
Xuan Ying responded absent-mindedly, mumbling as if she hadn't clearly heard what Zhao Yan was saying.
Seeing her in such a dazed state, Zhao Yan felt sympathetic but could only remain silent.
"Let's go home!"
Xuan Ying took a deep breath. Although she felt like crying, she didn't want to lose face in front of Zhao Yan, so she suppressed her emotions and said softly.
"Mm."
Zhao Yan nodded and took out her phone again to call Sister Qin, whom she had met earlier today.
A cold wind swept by.
The breeze made Xuan Ying, who was only wearing a dress, shiver and hug her arms. Zhao Yan also felt the chill and quickly moved to take off her coat to put it around her.
Just as she extended her arm, she froze, because suddenly a figure had appeared behind Xuan Ying and draped his own coat over her shoulders.
"Ah!"
Xuan Ying felt the warmth and turned her head. When she saw who it was, her face immediately flushed red, and she avoided eye contact, unable to look at him directly.
"Th-thank you!"
She stammered, her voice barely above a whisper. If it weren't for her pleasant voice, it would have been impossible to hear.
"Don't mention it!"
It was Su Cheng. Seeing Xuan Ying looking cold, he had instinctively wanted to help her.
"Mm-hmm."
Xuan Ying nodded shyly, afraid to meet his gaze lest he notice something unusual about her. But she clutched the coat tightly as if afraid someone might take it away.
Her heart was rippling with emotions, beating rapidly.
At this moment, she felt incredibly sweet, happy, excited, and even somehow secure.
"Are you heading back?"
Su Cheng asked.
During the past two hours.
He had been elsewhere buying some food to store in his system space, and had only just returned.
Since the two girls had come to find him, he naturally wanted to make sure they got home safely.
"Yes, we called a car, we're about to leave."
Zhao Yan nodded, glancing at the coat on Xuan Ying.
"Then let me wait with you until your car arrives!"
Su Cheng nodded.
Xuan Ying remained silent, only gripping the coat more tightly, as if trying to hold onto it. Her lips were pressed together tightly, seemingly restraining something.
Yes, restraining the urge to smell the coat.
"Su Cheng, thank you for your help!"
Zhao Yan said to Su Cheng.
Looking at Xuan Ying's expression, she sighed inwardly, understanding why her friend was acting this way.
Disappointment, joy, nervousness, and that barely contained excitement.
And so, the three of them waited in an awkward atmosphere until a taxi arrived.
"We'll be going then."
Zhao Yan said to Su Cheng.
"Alright, goodbye."
Su Cheng smiled.
"See you Monday."
Zhao Yan finished, pulling Xuan Ying into the taxi.
"I'll wash it and return it to you on Monday."
Xuan Ying suddenly turned and said.
"Hm?"
Su Cheng paused, then smiled and said, "Alright, see you next week."
As the car started moving, he waved goodbye and watched them leave.
He wasn't sure if it was his imagination, but he felt the taxi driver's gaze on him was somewhat strange, making him feel uncomfortable.
"I didn't expect rich people to take taxis too,"
Su Cheng shook his head and remarked, then started walking toward his apartment.
However, when passing by the villa district, he suddenly stopped, planning to take a different route.
Because he saw a girl with golden twin tails wearing white knee-high socks. She was currently searching for something at the entrance of the villa district, looking very annoyed, even stamping her feet in frustration.
She looked quite cute like that.
But Su Cheng preferred to admire girls with such personalities from afar rather than approach them.
"Su Cheng?"
Unfortunately, the girl seemed to have spotted him and called out delightedly.
Su Cheng froze at the sound, forced to stop, thinking to himself: "How troublesome!"
"Psyduck, do you need something?"
Seeing the girl slowly approaching, Su Cheng put on a cold demeanor and asked.
The girl saw Su Cheng's attitude and put her hands on her hips, frowning, "Su Cheng!"
"My name is William Henry Cornelia, not Psyduck. That's very impolite of you!"
Cornelia, hearing Su Cheng call her Psyduck, became somewhat angry. She pouted, glared at Su Cheng, and said irritably.
"Alright, Cornelia, what do you need?"
Su Cheng asked impatiently.
"We're not close enough for you to address me so casually, are we?"
Cornelia pursed her lips, asking somewhat dissatisfied.
"Uh..."
Su Cheng felt helpless and asked, "Then how should I address you?"
"You can call me William."
Cornelia said seriously.
"Alright, William, do we have something to discuss?"
"I have a favor to ask!"
Cornelia quickly nodded and said, "The kids in your complex keep stealing my takeout. It's really annoying. Could you help me talk to their parents?"
"Why me?"
"Because I think Su Cheng is very reliable, and you're the only person I know here, plus you live in that complex."
"Me? Reliable?"
Su Cheng was stunned.
"Mm-hmm."
Cornelia nodded.
Su Cheng pointed at himself incredulously: "The confession maniac? Reliable? Are you sure?"
"You're not that at all. I saw the school paper on Friday and know you were being threatened!"
Cornelia finished speaking and looked at Su Cheng, her beautiful eyes full of hope.
Su Cheng was surprised, only now realizing that his "confession maniac" title had been pinned on Eddie by his classmates.
"Fine."
Su Cheng felt this wasn't really a big deal, so he nodded in agreement.
"Thank you so much, really!"
Cornelia was delighted and immediately took out a box of cookies from her pocket, offering them to Su Cheng: "This is all I have on me, please take it as thanks!"
Su Cheng looked at Cornelia with surprise but didn't reach for the cookies.
"Just take them since I'm giving them to you!"
Cornelia blushed, clearly embarrassed about giving cookies to a boy, and urged him.
"The cookies aren't necessary, it's just a small favor."
Su Cheng shook his head and continued, "So, do you know which family's children are stealing your takeout?"
"I..."
Cornelia paused, her hand holding the cookies suddenly becoming stiff.
"What about their appearance?"
Cornelia shook her head.
"Their clothes?"
Cornelia shook her head again.
True to her 4.5 intelligence.
Su Cheng was speechless, not knowing how to respond to the foolish girl before him.
"Ah, what should we do then?"
Cornelia became anxious, her beautiful eyes darting around, seemingly seeking Su Cheng's attention.
Su Cheng fell silent, looking at her with an expression reserved for those who needed special care.
At this point, Cornelia noticed Su Cheng's strange look and nervously asked, "Why are you looking at me like that?"
"It's nothing,"
Su Cheng shook his head, put his hand in his back pocket, and pretended to take out a bottle of 'Eight Walnuts' drink, handing it to Cornelia, saying, "Here, take this."
"Huh?"
Cornelia instinctively took it, looked at it, and asked confusedly, "Why are you giving me a drink?"
"No reason. Check the security cameras or let me know when you see who it is clearly. I need to get home now!"
Su Cheng waved his hand and said.
"Eh?"
Cornelia was a bit dumbfounded, but she still nodded instinctively. Then, looking at the 'eight walnuts' and cookies in her hand, she muttered to herself: "How did he know I hadn't eaten dinner?"
