Along the way, Ning Cheng was always full of apprehension, he was worried about Xiao Xia.

Ning Cheng walked through the forest, and the thatched hut in front of him gradually became clear.

Walking in front of the thatched house, after hesitating, Ning Cheng still knocked on the door.

The door was opened, and Xiao Xia glanced at Ning Cheng and walked in.

Ning Cheng scratched his head and said, "Xiao Xia, you..."

"It's not finished refining yet, I want to take a break." Xiao Xia glanced at Ning Cheng and said deliberately.

"Well, don't worry, let's go to my house for dinner first." Ning Cheng said.

"Huh? Aren't you in a hurry? Xiao Xia asked rhetorically.

"Well, there is still time, I still understand the truth that if you want to hurry, you can't reach it." Ning Cheng didn't intend to put another psychological burden on Xiao Xia, after all, she had already agreed to alchemy, which in itself was already troublesome for Xiao Xia.

"Hmph, count you as acquaintances!" Xiao Xia stretched and said, "Miss Ben is hungry and wants to eat." ”

"Okay, let's go to my house, let's get together tonight." Ning Cheng said.

"Hmph, that little brother of yours seems to hate me very much." Xiao Xia glanced at Ning Cheng and said.

Ning Cheng scratched his head in embarrassment and said, "It was a misunderstanding last time, but now that the misunderstanding is solved, it's fine, Xiaodong's temper is like this, you will understand it in the future." ”

Xiao Xia looked at Ning Cheng suspiciously, and said, "If I don't help you with alchemy, will you still cook for me?" ”

"Huh?" Ning Cheng nodded without hesitation and said, "Does cooking for you have anything to do with alchemy?" ”

"Doesn't it matter?" Xiao Xia snorted coldly, she didn't believe that Ning Cheng didn't hide a little selfishness.

After a while, Xiao Xia changed into casual clothes again and followed Ning Cheng out, and the two walked out of the forest and walked back to the courtyard.

Xiao Xia hadn't come out for a long time, and she was a little uncomfortable with the crowds and high-rise buildings for a while, she subconsciously hid behind Ning Cheng, as if she was a shy little girl.

"Huh? What's wrong? Ning Cheng asked.

"It's okay, let's go......" Xiao Xia would definitely not let Ning Cheng see her thoughts, otherwise Ning Cheng would definitely laugh at her.

Along the way, Xiao Xia pulled the corners of Ning Cheng's clothes, like a child who had done something wrong, always keeping her head down, she still needed a little time to get used to.

Suddenly, Xiao Xia looked at a place in front of her, her eyes lit up, and she showed a longing expression.

Ning Cheng looked at the past, couldn't help but smile bitterly, and said, "You wait for me here, I'll go back when I go." ”

"Huh? You're not going to leave me, are you? Xiao Xia asked.

"Why is your imagination so rich?" Ning Cheng shook his head helplessly.

After Ning Cheng left, Xiao Xia became even more uncomfortable, she lowered her head and looked at the corners of her clothes, which seemed a little out of place with this bustling metropolis, and she felt that the eyes of the people on the street were looking at her.

Actually, she didn't feel wrong, after all, Xiao Xia is very beautiful, in today's words, she is Lori! And today she specially dressed up, so it attracted a lot of eyes coming and going.

"Little beauty, what are you doing here alone?" A thug who had been observing Xiao Xia for a long time suddenly walked over and asked in a lewd tone.

"Dead Ning City, Stinky Ning City, leave me here alone!" Xiao Xia was secretly scolding Ning Cheng in her heart, not noticing this little gangster at all.

"Oops, the little beauty is so shy!" A ** look flashed in the little gangster's eyes, and he thought that Xiao Xia lowered his head because he was embarrassed.

He reached out his hand, trying to lift Natsu's chin.

Xiao Xia felt that someone was approaching, and thought it was Ning Cheng, so he immediately raised his head and planned to scold Ning Cheng, but found that a guy he didn't know was stretching out his hand.

"Look for death!" Xiao Xia snorted coldly and was about to make a move.

A hand appeared in front of Xiao Xia and grabbed Xiao Xia's hand, which was already about to touch.

The gangster's face changed, he didn't expect his good deeds to be ruined.

"What are you doing, kid? Didn't see that I was soaking in ......" Before the words were finished, Ning Cheng had already slapped him, and the thin thug fell directly.

He had seen all the actions of the gangster just now, so he naturally had zero tolerance for this kind of guy.

"Hmph, you dare to tease Miss Ben, watch me burn you!" Xiao Xia was about to get angry, but was attracted by what Ning Cheng was doing.

Two strings of sugar gourds shook at her.

"Wow, sugar gourd!" Xiao Xia snatched the two strings of sugar gourds in Ning Cheng's hand, and then asked softly, "For me?" ”

"Or else? The way someone stared at this sugar gourd just now was about to kill me. Ning Cheng said.

"Burn you!" Xiao Xia's face turned red, but she still ate the sugar gourd obediently.

For her, the charm of the sugar gourd is much better than a lesson for a gangster.

"Let's go, go back to cooking early." Ning Cheng said.

"Woohoo." Xiao Xia had several sugar gourds stuffed in her mouth, and she suddenly saw that Ning Cheng had a large bag of sugar gourds in her other hand, and she was about to faint with happiness.

"Don't think about this, I bought it for my sister." Ning Cheng said with a smile.

Xiao Xia glanced at Ning Cheng, but she didn't say anything more, anyway, she was very satisfied with a string of sugar gourds in her hand now.

It's so good, the sugar gourd is so delicious! Xiao Xia's heart is extremely sweet.

Ning Cheng never thought that Xiao Xia, who was so strong, would be as satisfied as a little girl at this moment.

No longer stopping along the way, Ning Cheng took Xiao Xia back to the courtyard.

Xiao Xia had already finished eating two strings of sugar gourds, and her happy expression seemed to be reminiscing.

"Boss, you're back!" Xiao Dong immediately stood up, he glanced at Xiao Xia, and immediately said, "Welcome to our house." ”

Although the tone was not very good, at least Xiao Dong had lowered his posture, so Xiao Xia didn't bother to pay attention to him, and walked in with a cold snort.

"Wow, Brother Ningcheng, is this sugar gourd for me?" Xiao Zhongling's eyes also lit up when he saw the sugar gourd, just like the second Xiao Xia.

"Well, let's take it and eat it, but don't eat too much, it's not good if you can't eat dinner later." Ning Cheng said.

"Good!" Xiao Zhongling took a bag of sugar gourds, and then picked up a string and took it out.

Xiao Xia stared at the sugar gourd with straight eyes, without even blinking his eyes.

Xiao Zhongling seemed to notice Xiao Xia's gaze, she took out a string and said, "Sister, give you a string!" ”

Xiao Xia almost took it, after all, she had been coveting it for a long time, but she still forcibly held back, she was an adult and a child to grab something to eat, if it was rumored, she would definitely be laughed to death!

"Well, forget it, my sister is an adult, so I don't eat this." Xiao Xia said.

"Really? I thought you also liked to eat, so Xiao Zhongling ate it himself. Xiao Zhongling didn't say anything anymore and ate by himself.

Xiao Xia swallowed a mouthful of saliva, she wanted to cry without tears in her heart, she told herself that she must hold back, she is an adult!
