Chapter 426: More Friends Means More Walls Blocking The Way

Seeing Liu Yingying, Wang Xiao’s expression changed almost instantly because he had yet to think of what attitude he should use to face the other party.

It was definitely impossible to treat her as a friend, but their relationship was not to the extent of being enemies. Firstly, he did not have much hatred for Liu Yingying. Secondly, even if the other party poked his tires several times, it did not affect him much.

In fact, Liu Yingying had contributed to the batch of resources he needed to advance to level four. If not for the other party’s actions, the process of Wang Xiao obtaining the resources would not have been so smooth.

Just as Wang Xiao was thinking hard, Qin Kaiyang saw Liu Yingying’s expression also change slightly. A moment later, he frowned and said helplessly, “Why are you here? Didn’t I tell you to rest well?”

“Thank you for your concern, Grandpa Qin, but I’m not tired yet.”

Liu Yingying smiled sweetly and pointed at Wang Xiao, who had a strange expression. “Moreover, I did something bad on impulse previously. Now that he’s here to interrogate me, I should apologize, right?”

“Apologize? You?”

Qin Kaiyang looked at Liu Yingying suspiciously, clearly not believing her.

Wang Xiao and Lin Xiang did not say anything, but their faces were also filled with suspicion.

Liu Yingying did not care when she saw this. She walked to Wang Xiao and bowed deeply obediently. “I’m sorry. I was rash to discredit you. I sincerely apologize to you. I hope you can forgive me.”

After saying that, Liu Yingying bowed three times in a row. Including the first, she bowed four times. This had the meaning of remembering the deceased at a funeral.

Wang Xiao sighed and could not help but laugh. He had long known that Liu Yingying’s apology would not be so simple, but he did not expect her method to still be so childish.

Qin Kaiyang also saw through Liu Yingying’s actions and clearly revealed some displeasure. He reached out and pulled her behind him before smiling apologetically at Wang Xiao. “Yingying has been spoiled. Don’t mind her.” “Academy Head Qin, you’re being too serious.”

Wang Xiao waved his hand magnanimously. Without waiting for Qin Kaiyang to speak, he said, “However, there’s something I have to make clear first. Even if she sincerely apologizes to me today, I won’t agree to her participating in the school exchange.”

“What’s the use of disagreeing? I…”

Liu Yingying immediately retorted, but before she could finish speaking, she was stopped by Qin Kaiyang’s gaze.

After glaring at Liu Yingying, Qin Kaiyang looked at Wang Xiao. “Don’t listen to her nonsense just now. Actually, she didn’t join the school exchange because of you this time but for me.”

Wang Xiao raised his eyebrows. “What do you mean?”

Qin Kaiyang sighed softly, his eyes faintly revealing a nostalgic expression. “When I was young, I lived in Shengdu for a period of time. Later on, I became friends with Brother Liu—the current boss of the Lord’s Shop.”

“After that, I was injured because of some matters and stayed in the Liu family to recuperate. Yingying was born during that period. I had nothing to do and played with her. As time passed, I treated her as my biological granddaughter.”

“After that, my injuries healed, and I left Shengdu to come to Kaiyang City. In the blink of an eye, I haven’t returned for more than ten years. Yingying originally wanted to repeat a year and accompany me here, but aren’t we going on a school exchange? Therefore…”

Qin Kaiyang did not say the rest, but Wang Xiao still understood what he meant.

After Liu Yingying entered Blue Planet University, her future schedule was not something she could control anymore. Therefore, she wanted to stay with Qin Kaiyang for another year before entering the school. However, since Qin Kaiyang was going for the school exchange, there was no point in her staying in Kaiyang City.

Hence, Liu Yingying changed her mind at the last minute and wanted to participate in the school exchange. Moreover, she had already successfully obtained a spot. Although Qin Kaiyang had not mentioned it from the beginning to the end, he had definitely used some methods to secure this spot.

On the other side, seeing that Wang Xiao seemed to understand the situation, Qin Kaiyang took a deep breath and continued, “Yingying only wants to spend some time with me, so you don’t have to worry.”

“Moreover, through this trip, we might be able to resolve the misunderstanding between the two of you. At that time, it will be even better. After all, having more friends means more options!”

“I think it’s more like having more walls blocking the way, right?”

Wang Xiao looked at Liu Yingying, who was hiding behind and making faces at him, and replied helplessly, “Even if she’s here for you, I don’t agree with her participating in the school exchange.”

After these few incidents, Wang Xiao no longer trusted Liu Yingying at all.

Perhaps her idea was really to stay with Qin Kaiyang for a while, but in Wang Xiao’s eyes, she was a time bomb. If he brought her along, it was hard to guarantee that she would not cause trouble for Wang Xiao on the way.

This school exchange was already difficult enough. Coupled with the uncertainty of Liu Yingying, Wang Xiao felt a headache just thinking about it.

Seeing that Qin Kaiyang still seemed to want to insist, Wang Xiao did not wait for him to speak and said, “Academy Head Qin, my stance is already very clear. If you find it difficult to accept, I can talk to Commander Chen myself.”

Qin Kaiyang hesitated and glanced at Liu Yingying before giving Wang Xiao a meaningful look. “If you still insist, go find Commander Chen. However, you’d better be mentally prepared.”

“Prepared?”

Wang Xiao frowned, not understanding what Qin Kaiyang meant. However, looking at Liu Yingying’s smug expression, she seemed to think that it was impossible for him to succeed.

Wang Xiao silently raised his guard and prepared to leave. After all, Qin Kaiyang’s attitude was very clear. He would not be able to get anything out of chatting with him.

However, before Wang Xiao could bid farewell, Qin Kaiyang suddenly said, ‘We have serious matters to attend to. Don’t forget about the other things. This matter tonight was Yingying’s fault. Do you have anything you want? Take it as an apology.”

“What I want…’

Wang Xiao pursed his lips thoughtfully and extended three fingers. “I want 30 [Acceleration Growth] items.”

“How many?”

Qin Kaiyang was stunned and thought that he had heard wrongly. “Thirty items?”

“That’s right.”

Wang Xiao glanced at Liu Yingying and replied righteously, “I originally planned to buy them myself tonight, but after she made a scene, no one wants to do business with me anymore.”

“Look at what you’ve done!”

Qin Kaiyang turned around and glared at Liu Yingying. After thinking for a moment, he looked at Lin Xiang. “Manager Lin, you should still have some stock in your shop, right? Just give 30 [Accelerating Growth] cards to Wang Xiao and put them on my account.”

“No problem, it will definitely be done!”

Lin Xiang nodded and agreed without thinking. After all, with Qin Kaiyang’s status, he was not afraid that the other party would go back on his word.

After settling all the business and personal matters, Wang Xiao and Lin Xiang bade farewell and left.

Qin Kaiyang sighed softly and sat on a chair. He looked at Liu Yingying and asked helplessly, ‘Yingying, you’ve indeed gone a little overboard this time.” “But if I don’t do this, how can I make him remember me?”

Liu Yingying smiled mysteriously, and a strange light vaguely flashed in her clear eyes. “Grandpa Qin, do you still remember my dream when I was young?”

“Of course I remember…”

Qin Kaiyang smiled and suddenly thought of something. His expression changed slightly. “You mean…”

“That’s right.”

Liu Yingying nodded and interrupted Qin Kaiyang. She looked at the empty door and muttered, “I have a feeling that he might be the only person who can help me..”
