“Sister Xuan, I don’t know the way.” She awkwardly explained her situation, but this time Jing Shuxuan didn’t doubt her.
Instead, she pointed out the way and let Qin Xiangyi carry her.
After walking for a while, Jing Shuxuan really couldn’t stand the awkwardness of being carried princess-style and quickly got down herself.
Although their pace was slow this time, at least they were walking on the road.
“Sister Xuan, aren’t we going to do anything about those three guys?” Qin Xiangyi remembered how they had just ignored the three men earlier.
Jing Shuxuan shook her head.
“There’s nothing we can do.”
Qin Xiangyi raised an eyebrow.
“Why not?”
“There aren’t any cameras in that area.
They could twist the truth however they want.” Jing Shuxuan’s expression was full of helplessness.
Qin Xiangyi thought, even if it was obvious something was wrong, how could they just let those guys do whatever they wanted?
Jing Shuxuan seemed to notice what Qin Xiangyi didn’t understand and pointed at Qin Xiangyi’s wrist.
“Normally, they could be convicted, but once Chosen Ones are involved, everything gets turned upside down.”
Qin Xiangyi couldn’t believe it.
She hadn’t set up anything this dark—after all, this was just supposed to be a feel-good story.
She never expected the world would fill in the blanks like this without her knowing.
If on Earth, children are the protected group, then now, ordinary people are the protected group.
And as luck would have it, the mayor of Ocean City is anti-Chosen Ones, trying to drive out all the dangerous elements.
“But the mayor probably never imagined he’d end up with Bai Chi Sanatorium in Ocean City.” Seeing Qin Xiangyi’s expression getting worse, Jing Shuxuan tried to lighten the mood with a little joke, hoping to make Qin Xiangyi feel a bit better.
Qin Xiangyi tried to play along and smile, but she just couldn’t.
When your identity changes, everything you experience firsthand is completely different from what you see from a god’s perspective.
Jing Shuxuan didn’t say anything else, just took Qin Xiangyi’s hand.
Everything was understood without words, but there was nothing more to say.
The two of them didn’t stay outside any longer and soon went home.
Qin Xiangyi sat on the sofa watching TV, while Jing Shuxuan left for a bit—no idea where she went.
Not long after, Jing Shuxuan came back holding a phone.
“Here, your phone.”
Qin Xiangyi took it instinctively.
The phone was off, and she fumbled around for the power button, realizing this phone was pretty different from the ones in her own world.
Seeing Qin Xiangyi struggling, Jing Shuxuan finally helped out, pressing a button on the back of the phone.
The back of the phone slid open, revealing a button.
Qin Xiangyi pressed it, felt the phone vibrate, flipped it over, and a loading screen appeared before quickly reaching the main interface.
A few minutes after turning it on, the phone started making all sorts of noises.
She checked and saw a bunch of missed calls and text messages.
Of course, there were messages from the school beauty Zhou Muning, asking about Qin Xiangyi’s recent situation.
There were also some names she didn’t recognize at all.
“Looks like our little Yi is pretty popular.” Jing Shuxuan heard the noise and turned around, teasing Qin Xiangyi about how busy she was.
Qin Xiangyi smiled and casually scrolled through other stuff.
Luckily, all the chat records were still there.
As long as she found some time to look through them, there shouldn’t be any problems.
Seeing how relaxed Qin Xiangyi was, the unwilling Shaoyao kept exploring the area.
Whenever she found something new, she’d come over and describe it to Qin Xiangyi.
“Flower Master, I see a lot of strange things, but I don’t know what’s important.”
At first, Qin Xiangyi could handle it, but after a while, she was tired of explaining.
Seeing Jing Shuxuan focused on the news on TV, Qin Xiangyi decided to go wash off the smell of barbecue.
“Shaoyao, keep at it… I’m going to take a shower.”
“Shower?” Shaoyao repeated, sounding like she wanted to follow Qin Xiangyi even into the bathroom.
“Don’t follow me for this, unless you want to help me bathe.
I might consider it.” Seeing Shaoyao still trailing behind, Qin Xiangyi was even more exasperated.
As soon as Shaoyao heard that, she stopped following, but she still stood there, curiously staring at the bathroom equipment, like she wanted to figure out how all these weird things worked, and how the huge bathtub could fill with hot water automatically.
Qin Xiangyi was even more helpless, feeling like she needed to go to a bookstore tomorrow to find some basic knowledge books.
Otherwise, these flower people wouldn’t just be unhelpful—they’d be a burden.
Also, she needed to get in touch with Zhou Muning later and arrange to meet up once this week.
She set two goals for herself for now, and while she was showering, she wasn’t really washing up—she was organizing her thoughts.
After a while, she finished her shower and came out in her pajamas, only to find Jing Shuxuan asleep on the sofa.
She looked completely defenseless, her sleeping face much softer than her usual sharp and capable self.
Because of the way she was sleeping, her already beautiful legs looked even longer and more attractive from this angle, adding a bit of temptation.
Qin Xiangyi stared for a few more seconds, but then Shaoyao suddenly blocked her view, glaring at Qin Xiangyi in warning.
“Flower Master, you can’t keep going down this road.”
Qin Xiangyi was speechless.
“What did I do?”
“You’re staring at her legs, not even trying to hide it.”
“Isn’t it normal to look at legs? Besides, we’re all girls, what’s there to be afraid of?”
Qin Xiangyi felt like Shaoyao was asking for a beating, but at least her attitude toward Jing Shuxuan was better than before.
Seeing Shaoyao sulking because she couldn’t argue back, Qin Xiangyi teased her, “What, did she bribe you with barbecue?”
“No, I just realized she’s a good person.”
Shaoyao answered honestly, in a tone that made it sound like she thought Qin Xiangyi was the bad guy.
Qin Xiangyi was even more speechless.
Seeing Shaoyao wouldn’t move, she just grabbed her and said, “Oh, so you’re planning to take on things for her that you shouldn’t have to?”
Shaoyao froze, not resisting Qin Xiangyi’s move at all.
Qin Xiangyi didn’t know what was up with her, but seeing her so obedient, she remembered she hadn’t given Shaoyao any spiritual energy today and decided to do that first.
Just as she was about to touch Shaoyao, Shaoyao muttered, “That’s not it… I just…”
Halfway through, Shaoyao suddenly realized what Qin Xiangyi was doing and shoved her away hard.
Qin Xiangyi was caught off guard, sent flying across the room, and only stopped when she hit the wall.
The noise woke Jing Shuxuan, who had been sleeping.
Jing Shuxuan rushed over to check on Qin Xiangyi, who forced a smile.
“Sister Xuan, I’m fine.
I just got knocked over by a magical beast while playing with it.”
