Chapter 197 - Skipped A Beat

"They do look like thieves..." Sheng Guang said hesitantly, but what happened next confirmed his and Yin Jiangxue's guess.

The figures had come out of the chicken coop holding several eggs in their hands. One of them was even carrying a chicken in one arm that was still chirping desperately.

Good.

They were thieves for sure.

Li Jianyu said in a hurry: "Everyone please be careful, do not approach in case they are carrying weapons, I'm going to call 11*..."

Before he could input the 0, the slender pale girl from not far away suddenly ran over as if she were stepping on the wind.

Li Jianyu's eyes widened, complaining to himself. Yi mei, you say you don't know kung fu! But if this was not water-walking, then what was it!

The netizens: ???

——[Everything else aside, the Xiang woman is running a bit too fast...]

——[So what if she's fast? She's just one person; can she fight several thieves at once?]

——[But speaking of which, these thieves are quite confident to be stealing chickens in broad daylight… This chicken looks so fragrant... I mean, so fat!]

Yin Jiangxue panicked as she shouted, "Little Xiang Yi, stay put! Don't be rash! There are too many of them!"

The next second, she snatched the fishing rod out of her husband's hands and charged after Xiang Yi.

Sheng Guang: "..."

'I expected no less of my wife.'

He reluctantly followed after her, not forgetting to grab a fishing rod on his way.

A gentleman only used words and never violence.

But that didn't mean they couldn't use weapons. :)

The audience: ???

'The couples are bracing battle together?'

Shi Sui and Xiang Li also strode forward.

The scene was in chaos as the cameramen and lighting assistants followed after. The other staff members picked up sticks and shovels as well, with one person managing to find some rope.

But once they arrived...

There were four thieves lying on the ground, with one being casually blocked at the door by Xiang Yi in a deadlocked stance.

"..."

Inexplicably, they all felt as if they were not needed...

Xiang Yi's expression was cold. "Why are you stealing?"

Facing her was a teenager about twelve or thirteen in age. His hair was trimmed short, and there were several scars, old and new, on his forehead. He seemed to be a hard thorn to discipline as his mouth opened into a wide arc. "I just want to, why do I need a reason? Whatever, I'll just return it to you."

The teens lying on the floor happily fumbled out the eggs from their pockets and smashed them on the ground.

"Crack."

"Crack."

"Crack."

The eggs fell apart when colliding with the cobblestone ground, scattering egg white and yolk all over the floor.

"..." There was nothing but the wind to be heard.

——[What the hell? They must be street rats, right]

——[Judging by their attire, they don't look like poor kids. Ruining food on purpose is so infuriating!]

——[Sry, I'm on a tangent, but that boy who's their leader is kind of handsome...The rebellious teen in every schoolyard drama suddenly has an assigned face]

Xiang Yi frowned as her eyes fell on the boy. Slowly, she pulled out the tie around his neck that was hidden in his jacket and pulled tightly at it with force. The boy was forced to lean forward as the distance between them drew closer.

The teen felt his heart skip a beat.

Closer than ever was a very beautiful face with skin white as porcelain and eyes as cold as stars.

"Gulp..."

The teen gulped but then managed to utter in a fierce and arrogant tone, "Let me f*cking go!"

Xiang Yi raised a brow. "Little boy, let go of my chicken first."

Under everyone's gaze, the girl calmly snatched her chubby chicken from his hands and placed it back in the coop.

"Now we can settle this properly."
