Chapter 2258: Feng Lang and Affection 01
"Mom is so biased, she never takes me out! Hmph!"
Feng Yingying strolled along the beach, her fiery dress billowing in the cool sea breeze. Her pretty little face was full of stubbornness and dissatisfaction, much like a blooming mandala flower.
The beaches of Dongling vary in places. Most of them are made of soft, clean white sand, but there are rare spots filled with coarse stones and gravel.
Just like the beach where Feng Yingying was at the moment.
"So annoying!"
With a disgruntled humph, Feng Yingying kicked a seashell at her feet.
"Ugh!"
A muffled groan suddenly echoed, making Feng Yingying’s heart skip a beat. She looked up and saw a young man standing up from behind a large rock, clutching his head.
The seashell was still perfectly perched on top of his head, looking extremely comical.
Pfft!
She couldn’t hold it back any longer, and Feng Yingying burst out laughing. She swore she didn’t mean to laugh, it was just too hard to suppress!
The young man’s body stiffened obviously, and his eyes flashed with astonishment when he saw Feng Yingying.
He leisurely took the seashell off his head and played with it nonchalantly with his slender fingers, a slight smile turning up at the corners of his lips. "Miss, are you a fairy born from this seashell?"
Fairy?
Feng Yingying was stunned, and her delicate cheeks instantly turned pink, her gaze faltering involuntarily.
She was Yun Shu and Feng Yin’s only daughter, and in Yunshui Town, she was like a princess.
However, this was the first time someone had called her a fairy!
After all, she was just a teenage girl, no matter how fiery her temper usually was, hearing such a compliment made her heart burst with joy.
It’s just that her happiness lasted less than a second before she heard the young man laugh, seemingly mocking her: "You really are a fairy, but can you be more careful when shedding your shell? Look, your shell landed on my head. Oh, by the way, do you still want this thing?"
Looking at the shiny shell in the boy’s hand, Feng Yingying’s face flushed red.
This guy wasn’t complimenting her at all; he was mocking her!
"You, you pervert! What nonsense are you spouting? I didn’t shed any shell!"
The young man looked at her with a playful smirk on his face and suddenly exclaimed, "Oh, yes, you’re not shedding your shell; you should be shedding your skin. I heard snakes shed their skins. Miss, could it be you’re not a fairy born from a seashell but a beautiful snake in human form?"
Beautiful snake? That’s worse than a fairy from a seashell!
"Stop talking nonsense! I’m neither from a seashell nor a beautiful snake! Are you out of your mind? Yes, you must have delusions!"
Mom said there are many people in the world who seem healthy but actually have mental and brain issues. She once saw someone with delusions, someone who always told others they had seen the Immortals in the sky and claimed they were sent by the Immortals to save the world!
Feng Yingying looked at the young man in front of her with a meaningful gaze. He was handsome, with red lips and white teeth, and his skin was delicate and fair. He was definitely an outsider.
Dongling was located by the sea, and the people of Dongling were exposed to the sea breeze year-round. Most people’s skin was rough and cracked, with even a hint of redness on their cheeks.
Perhaps only people like her parents, who were as monstrously exceptional, could maintain such enviably good skin.
Of course, and someone like her, Feng Yingying, this naturally blessed beauty!
"Too bad, such a good-looking face, and yet the brain is broken. What a waste."
Sighing, Feng Yingying shrugged her shoulders and was about to walk the other way.
How could the young man let her leave so easily? Without seeing how he moved, he suddenly appeared in front of Feng Yingying, raising the seashell high in his hand, waving it in front of her.
Feng Yingying cried out in surprise. Although she was the daughter of Dongling’s Great General Feng Yin, her martial skills weren’t that great.
Instinctively raising her hand to block, she was still a step too late.
Feng Yingying just felt a lightness on top of her head, and when she clearly saw the young man again, she noticed the seashell in his hand had already been replaced with her hairpin.
The hairpin was handcrafted by her mother, made of coral as a base, with smooth, clear pearls embedded, forming a cherry blossom shape.
Cherry blossoms were her mother Yun Shu’s favorite, hence naming her Ying’er.
But now, her favorite hairpin, a gift from her mother, had been snatched away by this pervert!
"Give it back to me! Ouch!"
In her exaggerated movement, another seashell suddenly fell from her head, hitting the tip of her toe.
So this guy swapped the seashell for the hairpin on her head! How infuriating!
"You, you, you give the hairpin back to me! It’s mine!"
Contrary to Feng Yingying’s angry demeanor, the young man raised an eyebrow and smiled. If Xia Ke were here, he’d be jaw-dropped.
This older brother, always calm and composed, never showing his emotions, now has such animated expressions today!
Indeed, this young man was Xia Ke’s elder brother, the eldest son of Lin Yuan and Xia Zheng, Ah Jin, whose real name was Xia Lang.
"Miss, you first hit me with a seashell and then said I had a brain problem. Shouldn’t you apologize to me first before asking for the hairpin back?"
Xia Lang played with the hairpin in his hand. Even with all the gold, silver, and jewelry he saw in Dayong, he found this pearl hairpin stunning.
In Dongling’s Yunshui Town, Feng Yingying was like a little princess, cherished by her parents from a young age. The townsfolk of Yunshui Town treated her like everyone’s daughter, never having to endure the slightest grievance. How could she have encountered someone like Xia Lang before?
In the beginning, it was indeed her fault. She shouldn’t have kicked and taken someone else’s things, but did that give him the right to tease her with his words?
For such a thick-skinned pervert, she wouldn’t apologize!
"Apologize? You clearly insulted me first, and now you snatched my hairpin. If anyone should apologize, it’s you!"
With a sharp shout, Feng Yingying raised her hand and drew out a soft whip from her waist, striking it with a spirited snap. The crisp sound of the whip echoed, as if even the sea breeze carried an edge.
Xia Lang’s gaze deepened, his handsome eyebrows raised high, clearly surprised by Feng Yingying’s impressive stance.
"Be sensible and give back the hairpin! Or else you’ll pay!"
Xia Lang’s lip curled, just like his father Xia Zheng with his mischievous nature: "Pay? Do you also think this young master is good-looking? I think so too."
Bah!
How did a thick-skinned man like him end up in Yunshui Town? We must drive him away, drive him away!
However, her martial arts weren’t as good as his. The whip flailed around, only for him to grab it and bind her up instead!
"Let me go!"
Struggling a few times, Feng Yingying couldn’t break free from the whip. Angrily, she shouted at Xia Lang. Her fierce demeanor was truly impressive!
Xia Lang chuckled, casting a glance at the hairpin in his hand, and smiled, "This young master has other matters to attend to today. Farewell, until we meet again!"
With that, he used qinggong and left without looking back.
Feng Yingying was stunned, shaking her entire body in anger: "Damn it! At least untie me first!"
