A Conflict

Qin Qing lazily yawned, and nonchalantly said, "It's not clingy."

Gu An unhappily pursed his lips, but he didn't want to explain too much.

Gu An's gaze, once again, unconsciously landed on Qin Qing's afro-purple hair. A frown formed on his face without him knowing. 

"Your hair is really ugly."

Gu An's sight slightly moved down, and his frown deepened even more.

"Your makeup is so thick."

Qin Qing met Gu An's disgusted gaze, and her heart felt crushed.

"Kid, what do you know? This hairstyle is fashionable, and this makeup is considered chic."

Qin Qing curled her lips and touched her purple hair. With this hair and makeup, no one would ever harass her again.

Compared to trouble, ugliness was tolerable.

Gu An's eyes were unfathomable. With a light tone, he made a comment.

"You need to get your eyes checked."

After speaking, Gu An stepped into the elevator first. Qin Qing was a little furious. "You little brat! What are you talking about? You are so arrogant."

Gu An looked apathetic. "I am telling the truth. The truth is harsh."

"You little old man!"

***

At the racing club.

Qin Qing took Gu An around for a couple of laps. She felt particularly comfortable.

"Kid, what do you think? My skills are not bad."

Qin Qing's eyebrows were slightly raised, and a faint halo fell on her face. She looked so lively and dazzling that even her unsightly makeup became bearable. 

Gu An averted his eyes. "It's okay."

Qin Qing got out of the car and softly snorted. "You little brat. Will you die if you say something nice?"

At this moment, a group of people gathered nearby—as if there was some kind of competition.

Qin Qing cast a glance while passing by.

"Who are you? You dare to challenge Brother Wang! You don't want to live anymore, do you?"

"That's right! Brother Wang has already secured the championship, so get the hell out of here."

A group of delinquent boys with colorful hairs gathered around the tall boy in the middle.

Qin Zhou glanced at the crowd around him, sneered, and flaunted his arrogance.

"Why should I be scared?"

The young delinquents immediately shouted, and some of them even shoved Qin Zhou.

Qin Zhou's face instantly darkened, and he almost subconsciously wanted to do something.

But the warning of his elder brother resounded in his mind. 

"If I find out that you are causing trouble in Jiangcheng again, then don't even think about returning to the Imperial Capital in this life!"

Qin Zhou forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart and uttered two words toward the man named Brother Wang.

"Little coward."

Brother Wang's expression instantly turned ugly. He extinguished the cigarette in his hand and inched closer to Qin Zhou. 

The farce was still going on, but Qin Qing withdrew her eyes due to lack of interest.

Coincidentally, Qin Qing glanced at the notice board beside her. 

It was posted that the first place in the competition would receive a bonus of one million.

Qin Qing's eyes immediately flickered. She said to Gu An, "Go and stay aside."

Gu An looked at Qin Qing for a moment and said, "Are you going to meddle in their business?"

Qin Qing subconsciously grinned, "Are you kidding me? What I dislike the most is meddling. Just one problem from you is enough to bother me."

Qin Qing lightly patted Gu An's head.

"Don't wander around. I won't look for you if you are gone."

The touch on the forehead was fleeting.

Gu An was stunned for a long time. He unconsciously raised his fingers to the place Qin Qing touched. Somehow, the girl's warm breath remained. 

Gu An raised his eyes to look at Qin Qing's receding figure from the corner of his eye. It was as if a string in Gu An's heart was gently plucked.

The trivial aftermath was long gone. It happened too fast to be noticed. 

During this time, Qin Qing had already squeezed into the noisy area quickly.

The place where the people clashed was right in front of the registration area.

Qin Qing calmly walked past several people and reached the staff in charge of registration.

"I want to sign up."
