1070 I, Swift Snowy 3

She stared at him.

"Honest? Do you think I don't know that you secretly took my scrolls in the underground city? And don't think that I don't care just because I kept quiet about the equipment you took away from me." Dongfang Liuyun was speaking softly, but Qi Lei could hear the chill in her words.

"What? What scrolls? What equipment?" Qi Lei raised his eyebrows and seemed confused as if he had never heard those terms before. He put on an innocent smile. "I was really happy to work with you in the underground city."

"Don't even try to pretend anymore. Do you know what I usually do to people like this?" Dongfang Liuyun drank some tea as she smiled wryly at him.

Qi Lei shrugged, signaling for her to continue.

"I'll either cripple them or destroy a certain hole of theirs before crippling them." She put on a dark, cold smile on her face.

Qi Lei suddenly could not process what she was saying, so he questioned, "By hole, you mean?"

"Butt hole." Her eyes looked over at a certain part of Qi Lei who unconsciously stiffened as he looked right back at her.

"Don't you know how to be reserved? How could you say something like that so shamelessly?" Qi Lei's face turned a little red when he noticed her giggling.

"Would you give my scrolls and equipment back if I were to be reserved?"

Qi Lei shook his head instantly. "No way!"

"So, are you admitting that you took my scrolls and equipment?" Dongfang Liuyun's eyes seemed dangerous.

"I'm not finished! I didn't take them, so how could I give them back?"

Dongfang Liuyun did not bother to listen to his explanation. She finished her tea and took a look at the antique clock in the corner. When she noticed it was already 7 p.m., she put her cup down and got up to go towards her table.

"What are you going to do?" Qi Lei stood up and asked her.

"I'm going to eat even if you aren't. If you still haven't given me back the scrolls and equipment by tomorrow night before I go online, I'll make sure you pay for it." She then grabbed her keys and commanded, "Get out. I'm locking up."

"Shouldn't you kindly invite me along for dinner too?" Qi Lei's common sense told him that something was odd. It would only be normal for her to invite him for dinner even if she was just trying to be courteous.

He did not want things to end here today!

"Dinner? Why?" Dongfang Liuyun gave Qi Lei an odd look. How could someone be this stupid?

"If you buy me dinner and tell everyone that you're my wife, then I'll return you the scrolls and equipment!" Qi Lei stood by the side as Dongfang Liuyung closed up.

"Eastern Gust, what animal do you think is the stupidest?" Dongfang Liuyun kept her keys and raised her head as she asked Qi Lei a question, appearing serious about it.

What did she mean? Qi Lei felt a little lost about her train of thought. As expected of someone who got a Ph.D. at such a young age, her brain worked too fast and her imagination was off the charts!

He gave it some serious consideration and said, "A pig!"

Dongfang Liuyung then grinned. "So, do you think you're like a pig?"

"Of course not!"

"If not, how could you make those stupid requests? Just how low is your IQ?"

"You...Why are you being so offensive? It doesn't suit your image at all!" Qi Lei had no comeback for her as he tried to catch up to Dong Fang Liuyun's footsteps. "If you promise me, I can even give you some amazing gifts. I'm the only one in the whole server that's worthy of marrying you!"

"Idiot!"

"I'm serious. The whole server now knows you're my wife. I'm genuine and gentle, and I'm also a nice person!"

"Sounds like empty promises! I might need to protect you instead if you get into trouble, and I won't get any benefits at all."

"Aren't you going to believe me?"

"I'll consider it if you take your heart out and prove it to me right here."

"I'll die if I do that though."

…

They just chatted as they walked in the night. Ten minutes later, they arrived at a hawker stall that seemed pretty crowded at the moment.

Dongfang Liuyun put her bag onto a chair and sat down on another. She then started rattling out her order at the owner who was busy serving dishes, "Hey, one grilled fish, one fried chicken, one fried noodles with an extra egg, and a carton of chilled beers."

"Alright, please wait for a moment, Ms. Dongfang. I'll get it done right away!" the owner quickly replied. Apparently, she was a regular here.

Qi Lei sat down beside her, but she did not even look at him as she took out a notebook from her backpack and started flipping through it.

He glanced over and noticed some weird characters on it. They looked like some ancient language. While he had no idea what they were, she seemed so interested in them that she did not even notice when the food was served.

"I heard you like exploring archaeology sites."

Qi Lei was about to get some glasses to pour in the beer, but Dongfang Liuyun just grabbed a can and started drinking from it elegantly, much to his surprise.

She did not even look at him as she said coldly, "Eat your food and don't bother me." She did not like being disturbed at moments like these.

Just as Yang Sheng's investigation described, she was a workaholic with a bad attitude. She was pretty much cold towards everything, except for archaeology-related matters and games.
