At this moment, Chen Xiao looked quite down and out.
After two consecutive fierce battles, his clothes had long since been almost destroyed. They were tattered and hung on his body like a ragged sack.
There were spare clothes in the Treasure Cloud Divine Pagoda, but unfortunately, they were all destroyed in the previous battle.
It could be said that at this moment, Chen Xiao's appearance was extremely down and out, and he simply looked like a beggar.
"I know everyone on the ship, but I've never seen your face. Tell me honestly, how did you get on the ship? Otherwise, I don't mind throwing you off the ship. "
The young man looked unhappy, and his tone was cold and arrogant. As soon as he appeared, he stared at Chen Xiao as if he was interrogating a criminal.
His eyes were full of condescension, as if he was warning Chen Xiao that he didn't deserve to stand next to Ye Xiaoxiao.
That girl was so dazzling. How could a beggar be qualified to stand side by side with her?
"It's really … an undeserved disaster."
Chen Xiao was too familiar with this kind of look. He could almost see through it at a glance, and he couldn't help but laugh.
But at the same time, he was also a little vigilant. He raised his hand and left a True Qi on Ye Xiaoxiao to protect her.
Ye Xiaoxiao was not an adult yet. She was only 16 years old, and her face was not fully developed yet. She still had the tenderness of a young girl.
But the young man looked at Ye Xiaoxiao with undisguised lust. His fiery eyes seemed to be able to swallow the girl completely.
Although he didn't have any romantic feelings for Ye Xiaoxiao, she was the daughter of his parents' old friend, after all. So, Chen Xiao more or less treated her like a sister.
If he hadn't met her, he would have let it go. But now that he had met her, he naturally had to protect her as much as possible.
Thinking of this, Chen Xiao couldn't help but look at the young man with a trace of coldness.
"Aosho Mako, what do you mean?!"
However, Ye Xiaoxiao was instantly enraged. She placed her hands on her waist and glared at the young man like a furious lioness.
"I've made it clear. Chen Xiao is my friend. If you want to kick him off the ship, why don't you kick me off the ship as well!"
"Xiaoxiao, you —"
Aosho Mako held her breath as if someone was strangling her. Her expression was extremely ugly.
For a man of unknown origin, Ye Xiaoxiao was so merciless that she scolded him in public?
Sensing the gazes of many bystanders, Aosho Mao felt her face burning up, as if someone had slapped her hard in the face.
"What about you? Did I say anything wrong?"
Ye Xiaoxiao fearlessly stared back at him. Her pretty face was filled with an icy chill.
"Don't think that I'm stupid and can't see through your dirty thoughts. I'll tell you the truth today. Dream on, Aosho Mako!"
She wasn't a three-year-old child. How could she not feel the meaning behind Aosho Mako's gaze?
But before this, because he was a senior from Tsukuba University and also the person in charge of this social exchange activity, she had been restraining herself.
"Ye Xiaoxiao, you, you, you …"
After being scolded by Ye Xiaoxiao, Aosho Mako was so angry that her neck bulged.
He pointed at Chen Xiao with a trembling finger and said unyieldingly, "This kid's origin is unknown. For the sake of everyone's safety, what if he is a terrorist with a bomb?"
Many people were speechless.
Which terrorist didn't hide their explosives well? This kid's clothes were tattered, and there were holes everywhere. It would be strange if he could hide a bomb!
What's more, the terrorists could have bombed anything, but why did they have to bomb their ship?
Someone couldn't stand it anymore and reminded him in a low voice, "Senior Cangye, this kid was caught in a shipwreck and was just fished out of the sea. He can't be a terrorist."
"…"
A moment ago, Mao Aosho was still aggressive, but in the next moment, her face turned purple.
He had heard the commotion on the deck, but he didn't pay much attention to it. Who knew that such a small mistake would make him lose face.
Even the stupidest person would know that a guy who had just been caught in a shipwreck wouldn't have anything dangerous on him.
For a moment, he seemed to have become the laughing stock of everyone, and the reason he gave just now became the biggest joke in the world.
"Very well, very well! Shipwreck, right? "
Aosho Mako gritted his teeth and glared at Chen Xiao and Ye Xiaoxiao, then left without looking back.
"I miscalculated this time, but it's not over yet. Let's wait and see!"
After Aosho Mako left, the other onlookers quickly dispersed. Soon, only Ye Xiaoxiao and Chen Xiao were left alone.
"Well …"
After a moment of silence, Ye Xiaoxiao's face seemed to be a little red as she scratched her cheeks.
"Chen Xiao, you can't wear your clothes anymore. I'll take you to the supermarket to buy some pajamas."
Along the way, Ye Xiaoxiao was like a lark, chirping non-stop, so Chen Xiao quickly understood the current situation.
It turned out that after entering high school, Ye Xiaoxiao had developed a strong interest in biology.
It just so happened that the high school she was studying in had a biology exchange program with the high school affiliated to Sakura Tsukuba University, so Ye Xiaoxiao signed up.
After all, normal high schools didn't give her the opportunity to learn a lot about biology!
"The exchange students will stay in Sakura Island for two months. The first week is for fun and activities, and the second week is for formal study and exchange. It's the first week now, so we'll be spending today and tomorrow on the cruise ship."
Ye Xiaoxiao played with her hair. The combination of the innocence of a young girl and the elegance of the evening gown unexpectedly presented a different kind of charm.
"I see. It's fate that I can meet you on the sea."
Chen Xiao was speechless. He and the Dark Tortoise had been chasing each other, and he didn't expect to be in the sea near Sakura Island.
However, even Sakura Island's territorial waters were extremely vast. It could be said that it was fate that Ye Xiaoxiao's cruise ship happened to be here.
"Maybe it's fate."
Ye Xiaoxiao blushed and bit her lips. She smiled and said: "But why did you suddenly go to the sea?"
"Others might not know, but I know. You are the Grandmaster Chen, how could you be in a shipwreck?"
During the battle on the top of Tianmen Mountain, Chen Xiao's demeanor had been deeply engraved in the young girl's heart, becoming a mark that could never be erased.
Hearing this, Chen Xiao shook his head helplessly. "You could say it was an adventure. I accidentally encountered some danger, but fortunately, it was resolved in the end."
He paused for a moment, then continued, "What is the background of that Aoya Mao? Since you've already seen through his intentions, why did you still tolerate him?"
When he first met Ye Xiaoxiao, Ye Xiaoxiao was like a little pepper. How could she tolerate Aoshino Mako for such a long time?
"Aoshino Mako …"
Speaking of the young man from before, Ye Xiaoxiao's face, which was originally brimming with smiles, suddenly became a lot more serious.
"He is one of the candidates for the successor of Omron Group, and also an important partner of my dad's company. My dad went on a business trip during the summer to discuss a contract with them."
"Omron Group?"
Chen Xiao was startled. He vaguely felt that he had heard this name somewhere.
