Inside a yellow school bus traveling at high speed.
"Gwen, have you been doing any exercise lately? Like yoga or something like that."
Xi Nian asked curiously while holding Gwen's little feet, which felt very nice, and gently rubbing them.
The small and delicate feet in his hands were almost soft and boneless, but through the five fingers, which were faintly visible through the shiny flesh-colored black silk, he could clearly feel that every time his palms pressed, the other party's feet would rebound with subtle muscle toughness, as if they were instinctively resisting the invasion of his palms.
"Yes..." Gwen bit her lower lip and responded in a voice as soft as a mosquito.
"When did you do it?" Xi Nian asked doubtfully, and began to massage the intact and slender ankle with his fingers.
He usually went to school with Gwen, but he never saw Gwen participate in any school sports.
"Ugh." Gwen murmured subconsciously: "On the rooftop... No, I just do aerobics in my bedroom occasionally..."
"Is that so?"
Xi Nian didn't think much about it, nor did he have the energy to think too much. Most of his attention was now focused on Gwen's perfect and delicate left foot.
This is even more comfortable than stroking the little emperor.
Xi Nian was in a trance, and the rubbing action of his hands unconsciously changed to stroking.
The fairly large palm wrapped around the entire flexible, white and tender foot, and then slid upwards along the high-quality black silk. Xi Nian's five fingers stretched out somewhat greedily, feeling the delicate and smooth feeling coming from his fingertips.
"Woo!!"
The feeling and excitement this time far exceeds the sum of all the previous ones.
The girl felt as if struck by lightning, her eyes were shining with crystal light, her small mouth with sharp fangs opened, and she bit Xi Nian's shoulder hard.
Xi Nian felt the pain and finally reacted, quickly letting go of Gwen's little feet.
"Woo--" Gwen bit Xinian and suppressed the sound that was about to shout out.
Xi Nian smiled bitterly and let her bite him.
The school bus was traveling at a constant speed and was still quiet, and no one noticed this scene.
After a long time, Gwen finally let go and put her legs down. With a look of shame and anger on her face, she sat down in her seat as if nothing had happened.
"I'm sorry, Gwen, I didn't mean it." Xinian looked at the girl apologetically, but didn't explain too much. It was impossible that he had mistaken her for the little emperor, right?
Gwen didn't respond, nor did she look at Xi Nian. She calmly raised a finger to signal.
Xi Nian understood her meaning immediately and breathed a sigh of relief: "I owe you some compensation, right? No problem."
As long as it's not rubbing your legs.
It's not that I'm not strong enough, I just can't hold on any longer.
Xi Nian felt that if he continued rubbing, he might suddenly awaken some strange hobby.
"Is your shoulder okay?" Gwen was angry for only three seconds, then looked at Xinian's shoulder worriedly and took out a tissue to wipe off the moisture.
"It's okay, I'm thick-skinned."
Xi Nian glanced at his shoulder. In fact, Gwen didn't bite very hard. There was only a tooth mark on the jacket, and the flesh underneath was not bitten deeply.
Otherwise, the Lord of the Dependents might be triggered again.
However, Gwen is just an ordinary person, so even if it is triggered, it shouldn't cause any trouble.
"Xinian, what are you wearing on your left hand?"
Gwen seemed to have forgotten the embarrassing incident just now, and returned to being the calm, intellectual and cold young lady. She lowered her head and looked at Xi Nian's left hand.
"Oh, are you talking about this?" Xi Nian then noticed that the long sleeve of his left hand was pulled up a little, revealing the silver bracelet worn on the front of his arm.
Its name is the "Guardian Silver Bracelet" artifact!
The Guardian Silver Bracelet is made from fragments of the Aegis of Aegis and can withstand all (physical and magical) attacks. When the arms are crossed, it can generate a powerful shield barrier and shock wave.
Even my aunt Diana, who is dressed in divine attire, only has her guardian silver bracelet ranked second only to the Sword of the God of Fire!
Of course, the guardian silver bracelets are a pair. If there is only one, its power will obviously be greatly reduced.
However, because of this, even in a human body, he can barely use the basic abilities of this half artifact.
"This is a lucky charm my aunt gave me. I use it to protect myself outside." Xinian smiled and pulled up his sleeves to cover the single protective silver bracelet.
"Lucky item?" Gwen murmured softly. Somehow, she always felt that the silver bracelet with a strange style seemed to have been seen somewhere before.
…
New York, Manhattan.
When the school bus arrived at its destination, the bustling city center, it was already approaching evening. The warm sunset fell on the tall buildings, and neon lights lit up everywhere on the ground.
Instructor Rhodes and his mysterious assistant arranged a group dinner in a restaurant, and then took the students to check in at an apartment in a residential area.
By the time Xinian entered his own small room with his schoolbag on his back, the sunset outside the window had completely disappeared, and the dark night began to cover the sky over this city that never sleeps.
The first day in New York was almost over before it even started.
In the evening, students are free to go out, but only on nearby streets and must return to the apartment before 10:00 PM. The instructor will then conduct a dormitory inspection.
The instructor will not officially organize group activities until tomorrow.
Xi Nian was sitting on the single bed in the room. He had just taken out his cell phone to send a message to his aunt that she had arrived safely in New York when there was a knock on the door.
Xi Nian opened the door and saw who else it was but Gwen.
However, the girl had actually taken a shower at this time, her short golden hair had not been completely dried yet, and she had changed into an intellectual and cool dress uniform.
After Xi Nian opened the door, Gwen crossed her arms and said, "Go out shopping for clothes with me. This is the compensation I want."
"Didn't you bring enough clothes?" Xi Nian scratched his head.
"Not yet..." Gwen stopped talking halfway, glared at him unhappily, and then turned and walked downstairs.
Xi Nian didn't understand what was going on, but he still picked up his phone and house key and followed him out the door.
…
On a busy pedestrian street.
Xinian followed Gwen to several clothing stores, and Gwen finally picked out a little skirt that she liked. Xinian seemed to have finally come to her senses and paid for the dress in advance with his half-month pocket money.
The effect is naturally significant.
Seeing that Gwen was holding the bag containing the skirt all the way and was obviously no longer angry, Xi Nian also smiled.
only.
Just as Xi Nian and Gwen were returning to their apartment after buying clothes, they walked to a relatively remote and deserted residential area.
With the sound of intense, rapid breathing and footsteps, a silver-haired boy wearing goggles approached from behind. The silver-haired boy suddenly and covertly stuffed a woman's bag into Gwen's hand, then pretended to hold the bag with his hands and rushed in the other direction, panting.
Before Xinian and Gwen knew what was happening, they saw a bearded man rushing past and catching up with the silver-haired boy who had not yet run out of the road.
"Kid, where is my bag?" The bearded man grabbed the boy's shoulder angrily.
"That's not yours, you stole it from someone else!" the silver-haired boy retorted stubbornly.
"Really?!" The bearded man was furious. He immediately grabbed the silver-haired boy's collar with one hand and dragged him into a dark alley where there was no road surveillance.
"Xinian, take this!" Seeing this, Gwen stuffed the clothes and bag to Xinian and quickly rushed to the alley.
After taking a look at the thing in his hand, Xi Nian followed without hesitation.
