"This …" Xiao Chen just remembered that he forgot to put away the binoculars! He didn't think too much about it before, but … it would be strange if Xu Chuxia didn't see it. He could only evade it. "The landlord left it behind. Think about it, how would I know that you live on the fourth floor across the street …"
"Really?" Xu Chuxia looked at Xiao Chen coldly and looked like she didn't believe him. "The landlord left it behind? Did you rent this apartment? Who knows why you rented it across the street from my house? "
"It's a coincidence …" Xiao Chen could only bite the bullet.
"Tell me, Xiao Qiang. What do you want?" Xu Chuxia couldn't take it anymore. If she went home and thought that someone was spying on her, how could she live? She felt like she was being watched every time she did something. How uncomfortable would that be? Therefore, Xu Chuxia decided to have a showdown with Xiao Qiang. She had to end things with him!
"I don't want anything. I already said it's a coincidence!" Xiao Chen shrugged and continued to busy himself with the things in his hands.
"Do you think I'll believe you?" Xu Chuxia's expression was cold. "Coincidence? How can there be so many coincidences? On the first day after school, you followed me here and rented an apartment across the street from my house. Am I right? Don't be in a hurry to deny it. There's only one real estate agent near this area. I'll ask and I'll know. "
"Okay … You're right." Xiao Chen saw that he couldn't deny it, so he nodded and admitted it.
"You don't just want to pursue me, right?" Xu Chuxia stared at Xiao Chen and asked word by word.
Xiao Chen was slightly shocked, but he maintained his composure. "Yes, I didn't want to pursue you either. I already said it was a coincidence …"
Speaking up to this point, even Xiao Chen himself felt that something was amiss.
"You didn't pursue me, but you followed me here to rent an apartment across the street from my house. Aren't you contradicting yourself?" Xu Chuxia questioned. "Xiao Qiang, you're good at studying and have strong life skills. You're also good at fighting. You're not a student, right?"
"I really am a student …" Xiao Chen smiled bitterly.
"Do you want something from me?" Xu Chuxia stared at Xiao Chen. "Then I can tell you directly. You won't get anything … Don't overthink it, I don't know anything … I think you know what I'm talking about?"
Xiao Chen fell silent. Xu Chuxia probably thought that he was someone who wanted to get some information from her. It seemed like she was very cautious. Even when she was warning him, she didn't say anything important. In other words, those who knew would naturally know, and those who didn't know would still have no idea what she was referring to.
"What are you talking about? I don't want anything … "Xiao Chen took a deep breath and said," Believe it or not, I won't harm you, and you don't have to be hostile to me. "
"You're here to replace Xiao Meng, right?" Xu Chuxia suddenly asked.
"Hmm?" Xiao Chen was stunned. He looked at Xu Chuxia in surprise. He didn't expect Xu Chuxia to think so much, and she even knew about Xiao Meng.
"As expected, you're not here to pursue me. Following me and monitoring me is your job." Xu Chuxia sighed and was a little depressed. "You can leave. I don't need you to monitor me. You can go back."
Xiao Chen was a little stunned. A faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. Although he was seen through, he felt a lot more relaxed! Otherwise, he would be misunderstood as a pervert all the time. That would be terrible. "It's impossible to go back. I'm here to replace Xiao Meng. The Supernatural Investigation Bureau must be responsible for your safety. You know the nature of your father's job!"
Xiao Chen decided to tell the truth. Since the topic was already out in the open, there was no need for him to feign civility.
"Hmph, I guessed it right, right? I only said Xiao Meng, and you already knew. You even know about the Supernatural Investigation Bureau. One look and I know you're from there! " Xu Chuxia glared at Xiao Chen. She was very angry but also a little helpless. "Don't worry. It's impossible for those who want to get information from me. I won't say anything. Moreover, I really don't know anything!"
"It's not as simple as you think. Someone might kidnap you and use it to threaten your father. Or they might use other extreme methods. We received news that there are forces that want to deal with you. At least before the matter is resolved, I won't leave," Xiao Chen said directly.
"You'll affect my normal life! I'll feel uncomfortable if you follow me and monitor me every day! "Xu Chuxia was a little angry." Can't you consider other people's feelings? "
"Sure. Anyway, I won't do anything to you. You can pretend that I don't exist!" Xiao Chen said directly.
"Don't exist? Are you kidding me? You look at me with your binoculars every day and follow me to and from school. How can I pretend that you don't exist? " Xu Chuxia glared at Xiao Chen and said angrily, "If you want to follow me, fine. If you know how to make yourself invisible, then I'll agree. If not, then you should leave as soon as possible!"
"Invisibility is a little difficult. I need more practice to achieve it. I can't do it now." Xiao Chen said, "I can make you invisible, but that's too troublesome."
"Pfft …" Xu Chuxia almost burst out laughing when she heard Xiao Chen's answer. "Practice? Do you think you're practicing spells? You can practice invisibility? Can you be more normal? I'm talking to you about serious matters! "
Xiao Chen shrugged. He really didn't lie to her. Cultivators could really make themselves invisible. The Elder Heaven Ancestor said that once he reached the first level of the Foundation Establishment Stage, he could make himself invisible for a short period of time. "I'm also talking about serious matters. You want me to give up? That's impossible. I have a mission, so I have to ensure your safety."
"Then I can only expose your identity. If you can't protect me, just like Little Meng from before," Xu Chuxia threatened.
"Is there a point?" Xiao Chen smiled nonchalantly. "You said it yourself. Just like Little Meng from before, I'm his replacement. If you get rid of me, there will naturally be someone else to replace me. This is the decision of the Supernatural Investigation Bureau. It's not something I can change. At most, I'll just replace someone else. What do you think?"
"This …" Xu Chuxia fell silent after hearing what Xiao Chen said. She wasn't stupid. Otherwise, she wouldn't have guessed Xiao Chen's identity. Since Xiao Chen said that, Xu Chuxia understood that regardless of whether Xiao Chen left or not, the Supernatural Investigation Bureau wouldn't give up on this mission. He was only an executor, not the decision maker.
"So, there's no point in arguing about this. If I leave, there will naturally be someone else. Maybe it'll be someone even more annoying?" Xiao Chen finished washing the vegetables, placed them on the chopping board, and skillfully cut them.
"That's true. That Little Meng from before was even more annoying. He wasn't as good as you at acting. He found out so quickly!" Xu Chuxia nodded and said, "But you have to protect my safety. Can you not affect my life? You don't have to follow me to and from school so closely, right? I'm not a child. If you do this, Cai Wuliang will think that you're pursuing me. "
"If he thinks so, then so be it. What does it have to do with me?" Xiao Chen narrowed his eyes. "Could it be that you actually like him? And you're afraid that he'll misunderstand? "
"Of course not. I'm just afraid that he'll keep causing trouble for you!" Xu Chuxia said.
"Oh, whatever. I don't care about Cai Wuliang. If he's annoying, then I'll just kill him!" Xiao Chen said calmly.
"Huh? You want to kill someone? "Xu Chuxia was a little surprised." You can't just kill people randomly, right? "
"Little Meng can't, but I can. My rank is higher than his!" Xiao Chen said directly.
"You? Higher rank than him? He looks like an uncle. Even if he pretends to be young, he still looks a little old. But you should be around our age, right? How can your rank be higher than his? "Xu Chuxia was a little confused.
"Ambition doesn't depend on age." Xiao Chen smiled. "He's my subordinate. Since he failed, the higher-ups will naturally send someone with a higher rank."
"I don't believe you. Oh right, let me see your work permit. How can it prove your identity?" Xu Chuxia seemed to have accepted this reality. She knew that Xiao Chen was from the Supernatural Investigation Bureau. Even if Xiao Chen went back, he would still send someone else. She could only accept her fate.
Xiao Chen took out his work permit and handed it to Xu Chuxia.
"Yang Jiannan? Your name is really despicable. You really live up to your name. "Xu Chuxia glanced at Xiao Chen's work permit and said sarcastically," Is this how you originally looked like? You didn't even look as good as you do now. One look and I can tell that you're a sinister person! Team C leader? You do look powerful. That's surprising! "
After Xu Chuxia finished mocking him, she took the permit and examined it carefully. She checked several places for anti-counterfeiting before nodding. "It's the same as my father's. Looks like you're the real deal."
Xiao Chen put away the permit but wasn't angry at all. After all, she wasn't scolding him but that idiot Yang Tan. Even if she didn't scold him, he would! However, he didn't expect Xu Chuxia to be so cautious.
"What a headache. In that case, don't interfere with my freedom in the future," Xu Chuxia said.
"I never interfere with your freedom." Xiao Chen said, "Since we've already spoken, cooperate with me. I'll pretend to pursue you. Don't reject me too much. Just keep a distance."
"I have to cooperate with you?" Xu Chuxia glared.
"I don't want to do this. Do you think I want to protect you? If it wasn't for Little Meng, would I have come? "Xiao Chen was a little speechless. He had to leave his hometown and she didn't want to? "I don't have a choice. Cooperate with me. We'll quickly find the person who's after you. Then, everything will be over and I can relax."
Xu Chuxia was stunned. She thought that Xiao Chen was protecting her because she was unhappy. She didn't expect that Xiao Chen was also full of resentment. She couldn't help but say, "I've lived this long before you guys came. Haven't I been fine? Aren't you guys worrying for nothing? No matter how daring those bad guys are, they won't do anything to me in broad daylight, right? "
