Chapter 436: Hurting Each Other

Xia Xibei looked over with an innocent face.

Qiao Yanjue looked back at her with an innocent face too.

The two looked at each other for a while, until Xia Xibei finally couldn’t hold out.

“It’s just that… When I was waiting for you, I happened to see it, so…”

“Who was it?”

Qiao Yanjue didn’t believe Xia Xibei’s explanation.

However, he also knew that Xia Xibei would not just randomly record people.

“The woman is a celebrity, the man is no. The two were acting intimate… I’m not sure of anything else.”

It was a half-truth, and Qiao Yanjue understood, but he didn’t pursue it further, for fear of angering Xia Xibei.

“You don’t want to get caught and be arrested for being a peeping tom,” Qiao Yanjue lightly flicked her forehead and said with a smile.

“How could I?” Xia Xibei had a confident expression. “Who can see me?”

Before she could finish those words, she met Qiao Yanjue’s mocking eyes and was a little embarrassed.

“It’s not like everyone is like you!”

But, speaking of which, she also had a question.

“It seems like… You’re stronger than I thought?”

Thinking about the previous few encounters, Xia Xibei realized in hindsight that Qiao Yanjue was not the weakling she thought he was!

“Family-taught martial arts.” Qiao Yanjue didn’t hide it. “I’ve been practicing martial arts since I was a kid.”

“Does everyone in your family learn martial arts?”

“Well, except for those who marry in, both men and women have to learn,” he nodded. “Martial arts practice starts at the age of six, and after reaching the age of 16, you can choose whether to continue or give up.”

“And how many stuck it out?”

“Not many.” Qiao Yanjue shook his head. “Not many people can stick it out.”

After all, the environment was different now. Instead of practicing martial arts so hard, it was easier to use weapons for self-defense.

Moreover, practicing martial arts was very grueling, so not everyone could persevere.

Qiao Yanjue was extremely talented in this area and was also able to endure hardship, which was why he had persevered until now.

By now, he hadn’t become a martial arts master yet, but he was not far behind.

Xia Xibei nodded her head, feeling the same way.

If it weren’t for the special circumstances of her second life, she wouldn’t have stuck it out either.

But…

“How did you get hurt last time, when you faced those few punks?”

She was talking about the punks sent by Liu Lixin when the house was to be demolished before.

Because of that time, she had always felt that Qiao Yanjue was a weakling.

However, those moves he made just now were not weak at all.

So, how did those few punks hurt him?

Qiao Yanjue didn’t know what to say. It’d been so long ago, why bring it up?

Xia Xibei looked at him with a smile, and he looked back innocently.

Come on, let’s hurt each other!

“That’s because I didn’t react fast enough!” Qiao Yanjue justified. “So, after I came back, I intensified my practice!”

Xia Xibei was speechless. She had lost.

Qiao Yanjue’s skin was really getting thicker and thicker!

“Oops, I’ve been busy all day today, so tired, I have to go back and rest.”

Qiao Yanjue decisively changed the subject.

Xia Xibei was speechless and could only be dragged along by him.

The next day, Xia Xibei found Yu Ziqi.

“Let’s go see your cousin tomorrow.”

“See my cousin?” Yu Ziqi was surprised. “Why?”

“I have something to give him!”

Understanding dawned on Yu Ziqi, “It’s that mask…”

“Right,” Xia Xibei nodded, then revealed a mysterious smile. “You can try it too!”

Yu Ziqi immediately perked up. “Good! This way, we won’t be photographed together!”

After changing their faces, the reporters wouldn’t recognize them, so it would be more convenient.
