Martial Arts Master in the City

Chapter 44 Precious Gifts


"Do you know this girl?" After seeing Lin Dieying walk away, a hint of loss flashed across Ye Xiao's face, and Song Jiaqian said to Ye Xiao with a smile!

Ye Xiao said, "She's from the same school, of course I know her!"

Song Jiaqian said, "She seems to be avoiding you deliberately. You didn't do anything to her, did you?"

Ye Xiao instantly smiled and said, "I'm just an innocent young man, you're giving me too much credit!"

Song Jiaqian showed outright disdain!

The two left the academy and sat down at a decently decorated restaurant nearby. Meanwhile, Song Jiaqian called her sister, telling her they were waiting at the Yummy Restaurant near Minghai Academy!

"Do you really want your sister to come?" Ye Xiao asked Song Jiaqian!

Song Jiaqian said, "Yes, what's the matter? Are you afraid of her?"

"How could I be? I'm just afraid she might be afraid of me!" Ye Xiao said stubbornly, though he actually was a bit afraid of meeting Song Jiamin. The reason was simple: two days ago at the Guard Bureau, although Song Jiamin interrogated him, she actually helped him. He hadn't realized it at the time and had been rather rude!

Song Jiaqian, grinning, said to Ye Xiao, "But there's one thing I really can't figure out. How did you end up at the Guard Bureau? My sister mentioned that it was on suspicion of fighting, but that can't be true, right?"

In Song Jiaqian's eyes, Ye Xiao's image was still quite good, mainly because he had saved Song Jiaqian from bandits last time. Although Song Jiaqian wasn't the kind of girl who would commit herself on impulse, it was undeniable that she was still quite naïve about emotions!

As they were still waiting for Song Jiamin, the food hadn't been served yet. Bored, Ye Xiao unpacked his mobile phone and took out an iPhone 5s. The thin body and exquisite appearance were unlike any phone Ye Xiao had ever used before!

Holding the phone, Ye Xiao said to Song Jiaqian, "This phone must cost six or seven hundred, right?"

Song Jiaqian, who had just taken a sip of water, sprayed it out upon hearing Ye Xiao's words, then quickly wiped her mouth with a paper towel, saying, "This is an iPhone 5s, even a parallel import one wouldn't be six or seven hundred. Haven't you ever looked at a specialty store?"

Ye Xiao said, "The best phone I ever used was a Nokia that cost 499 yuan. It had good quality; it could still work even after falling from the fifth floor. Could yours do that?"

"Ye Xiao, I seriously suspect you're just trying to be difficult!" Song Jiaqian squinted her eyes!

Ye Xiao said, "Okay, okay, even if I underestimated it. I'll just make do with this phone then. By the way, why didn't you get me a SIM card? Do I need to go buy one myself?"

"Do you want me to also put a screen protector on it and buy a case?" Song Jiaqian felt that Ye Xiao was pushing his luck!

Song Jiaqian said, "By the way, you better not say later that this phone was a gift from me!"

"Why? You don't know me; my biggest flaw is being honest!" Ye Xiao said earnestly!

Song Jiaqian checked the time and said, "My sister should be here in about ten more minutes. I see a place across the street where you can get a SIM card. Go get one, so I can contact you in the future!"

Ye Xiao looked through the restaurant window and indeed saw a service center, saying, "Alright, but if we both leave, won't the restaurant owner mind?"

Song Jiaqian thought about it and said, "Then you go alone. Go and come back quickly!"

Ye Xiao said, "No problem!"

Then, Ye Xiao stood up and walked out. Since he had lost his mobile phone before coming to Minghai City, he hadn't had one for the past few days. Now, thankfully, Song Jiaqian had given him a phone that seemed pretty decent, much better than his old one that could only play Minesweeper!

When Ye Xiao walked out of the restaurant, he saw a familiar face standing at the entrance—it was Zhao Dapeng!

Ye Xiao looked at Zhao Dapeng, puzzled, and asked, "Dapeng, what are you doing here? Waiting for someone?"

Zhao Dapeng said, "Brother Xiao, I'm waiting for you. I was just at the Security Office of Minghai Academy, chatting with the security guards there, waiting for you to finish school. I happened to see you walking out with that beautiful girl just now; I didn't dare to come over directly, so I waited here for you instead!"

Ye Xiao instantly laughed. This guy, if I hadn't come out to get a SIM card, would he have not come to find me at all?

Ye Xiao asked, "Is there something wrong?"

Zhao Dapeng replied, "Yes, Brother Xiao, I've looked into the matter you asked me to!"

As Ye Xiao and Zhao Dapeng walked, they talked. "How did it go?"

While walking, Zhao Dapeng said, "There are some things I need your help with."

Ye Xiao and Zhao Dapeng chatted casually and reached an agreement.

Ye Xiao said, "I'm going to the service center now to get a SIM card, then you can take down my mobile number!"

"Yes, Brother Xiao!"

Then, Ye Xiao went straight into the service center. The sea-blue uniform and handsome face were Ye Xiao's first impressions as he entered the service center!

"Sir, how may I help you?" A smiling female staff member at the door greeted Ye Xiao.

Ye Xiao said, "I'm here to get a mobile SIM card!"

"Oh, okay, please follow me!" Ye Xiao and Zhao Dapeng quickly followed the female staff member to where the SIM cards were handled, and then Ye Xiao took out his ID card and also his iPhone 5s.

Seeing the phone Ye Xiao took out, Zhao Dapeng was surprised and said, "Brother Xiao, you're so rich!"

Ye Xiao was puzzled and looked at Zhao Dapeng, asking, "What do you mean?"

Zhao Dapeng grinned and said, "That iPhone 5s must be over five thousand, right? You actually bought such an expensive phone, that's a sign of wealth!"

Hearing Zhao Dapeng's words, Ye Xiao said, "What did you say? This phone is over five thousand?"

Zhao Dapeng replied, "Yeah, Brother Xiao, didn't you know? Isn't this the phone you bought? Or could it be?"

Ye Xiao realized there was a misunderstanding and quickly said, "You're thinking too much. This phone was given to me by someone else, I had no idea it was over five thousand!"

After saying this, Ye Xiao thought to himself, the girl is just a nurse, how could she afford such an expensive phone? Could it be just to repay me? But there's no need to be so extravagant with money, knowing how hard it is to earn money nowadays!

Then, Ye Xiao quickly got the SIM card activated, took down the number, and gave it to Zhao Dapeng. The latter saved Ye Xiao's number on his phone and then said, "Brother Xiao, when you're in class, I'll text you. When you're not in class, I'll call you."

Ye Xiao nodded and said, "Okay!"

Afterward, Ye Xiao left the service center, playing with his phone while he headed to the Yummy Restaurant.

As he arrived at the entrance of Yummy Restaurant, he noticed a black Toyota parked at the place he just passed. Turning his head, Ye Xiao saw Song Jiamin getting out of the passenger side of the black Toyota, and the driver was Yang Ming!

Seeing Song Jiamin, Ye Xiao didn't go in directly but smiled looking at Jiamin. As for Yang Ming, he completely ignored him. Even a fool could tell that Yang Ming worked for Han Fei, and they clearly were on different sides!

However, Yang Ming was shocked to see Ye Xiao at the spot where Song Jiamin got out of the car. Song Jiamin had told him that her sister was waiting here to have dinner with her, but what was Ye Xiao doing here, despite being a student at Minghai Academy? Could this really be a coincidence?

So, Yang Ming got out of the car.

"Isn't this Ye Xiao?" Yang Ming came down smiling.

Ye Xiao, smiling, said, "Thank you, Officer Yang, for bringing Officer Song here."

The call was actually from Jiamin's sister, Song Jiaqian, which puzzled Song Jiamin even more!

Just then, Song Jiaqian came out of the restaurant and said to Song Jiamin, "Sis, why did you just get here?"

Seeing her sister with Ye Xiao, Song Jiamin felt even more confused!
