1388 Where Did This Self-Confidence Come From (1/2)

”Where are we heading?”

Zhuang Xiaodie stared at his hands. This was the first time he had taken the initiative to reach out to her. They were like a pair of ordinary people on a blind date, from being acquaintances to mutual attraction.

”I can hear from your accent that you are not a native of Binhai City,” he said. ”Come. I will take you to visit Binhai City.”

What was up with him? Was he really so obsessed with her? Would he rather give up the huge doubts he had and get along with her?

This...was not impossible.

People had seven emotions and six desires, and even a strong mind would become weak at some moments. Even heroes who supported the skies might also be addicted to the gentle touch of a lady.

Computer games were also virtual worlds. How many people knew that they are not real but were still addicted to them? Also, her dream world was incomparable to computer games.

She could not help but reach out and take his hand.

He seemed to walk aimlessly, and he enthusiastically introduced the various attractions in Binhai City, as well as famous restaurants. He was really like an ordinary man shopping with his girlfriend.

They walked through the streets, not only the lively streets but also the remote lanes to feel the old vibes of the city.

Zhuang Xiaodie's appearance and clothing were too eye-catching, and his seemed...rather sloppy. The two of them, in this world that was very close to the real world, naturally attracted the stares of those who did not care about them being together.

The sea breeze was getting stronger and stronger. They had left the downtown area and walked back to the edge of Dongcheng District. In order to cut down on unnecessary traveling, they walked through a run-down lane.

Zhuang Xiaodie couldn't help but glance behind her to look not at the black-and-white kitten that followed him, but at the few young men who had been following them from the beginning.

The butterflies and moths had already told her about this, but Zhang Zian was ignorant and had been talking fervently about the land.

If it hadn't been for the black-and-white kitten blocking this information, she could have known this earlier. When they'd had the thoughts of robbing them, she would have let them cross the road and get hit by trucks. Unfortunately, they were very close when she finally received the message.

Zhuang Xiaodie was certainly not afraid of them. As long as she was willing, she could make the gas pipeline under the road suddenly explode. She could make the poles on both sides of the road fall, so as to block their path or kill them all with her thoughts. Alas, doing this in front of Zhang Zian would undoubtedly increase his suspicion, and...destroy the lively atmosphere.

If she was leading the way, she could choose other ways to get around them, but he had been walking by her side and pulling her, not allowing her to choose which way to go.

Zhang Zian talked about the past of Binhai City, but she had already known about this from his memory. However, she didn't know why, but listening to him telling her about it felt very different from reading his memory directly.

Finally, she decided to choose a relatively peaceful means to settle the issue. She made the nearby police officers receive a phone call from an anonymous caller, saying that someone was robbing people on the road and asking them to come over as soon as possible.

”Stop!”

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven.

The seven young men who had hair dyed in different colors and looked very much like gangsters, suddenly appeared, blocking the front and back of the alley. Seven pairs of fascinated eyes stared at Zhuang Xiaodie and could not help but look her up and down.

”Hi!”

Zhang Zian actually raised his hand and said hello to them.

”I seem to have seen you somewhere, but I've forgotten where.” He laughed as if he were being very funny. ”Can you introduce yourselves?”
