Chapter Two: Apology

"Since others treated me that way, I'll let you experience the feeling of fainting from hunger too. It's guaranteed to be an unforgettable aftertaste." Qi Di looked at Yu Shanshan with dissatisfaction and said indifferently.

"Oh! How can you be so lacking in chivalry? Look at how pathetic we are. If we faint from hunger, how are we supposed to keep you company for a whole month?"

Just as Yu Shanshan was left speechless by Qi Di's words, the girl beside her stood up, put her hands behind her back, and walked a circle around Qi Di. With a crumpled face and a pitiful expression, she spoke.

After saying that, she even gave Yu Shanshan a playful wink, as if to say, "Leave this to me!"

Yu Shanshan chuckled dryly, crossing her arms as she watched the show unfold.

"If I had pity on you, who would have had pity on the past me!" Qi Di gazed into the distance, his tone low, as if his heart had suffered a massive wound.

Turning his gaze back to the girl in front of him, Qi Di suddenly felt a slight itch in his heart and couldn't help but smile at her.

"Why must you treat others the way you were treated in the past?" A trace of confusion flickered between the girl's brows.

"Look at me... I'm so cute!... So cool! So pretty... and so adorable, how could you bear to let me faint from hunger on the street?"

Qi Di stared blankly at the girl in front of him.

She cupped her chin in both hands, tilting her head to one side with every descriptor—four times in a row. That shy, coquettish demeanor greatly astonished him.

In an instant, he felt a gentle ripple in his heart, as if a beam of sunshine had warmed his soul.

Qi Di's gaze toward the girl transformed instantly, changing from icy detachment to tenderness like water.

"Considering how handsome you are, it must have been some wretched old pervert who led you astray! He was definitely green with envy!"

Qi Di was already preparing to reveal the solution for getting food, but before he could speak, the girl dealt him a heavy blow.

"He is my father!"

He shot the girl a direct look of disdain, appearing thoroughly annoyed.

"Uh!..."

Just as the girl thought the madman had fallen completely under the spell of her cuteness, she never expected to have triggered a taboo!

Normally, people wouldn't care too much if they themselves were insulted, but once you touch upon the older generation of their parents, even if what you say is entirely correct and objectively analyzed, it will drive an otherwise extremely calm and gentle person to fly into a desperate rage.
