Seeing that Zhang Jie had no impression of her at all, the girl was very disappointed.
At the same time, she was a little angry: 'I'm so cute and pretty, and he doesn't remember me at all?'
But looking at his unintelligent eyes, it seemed he really didn't remember her.
'Alas, am I so outstanding that no one dares to remember me?'
Zhang Jie had no idea what the girl opposite him was thinking.
He didn't understand at all, but he had to get rid of this girl quickly; the fact that she was related to the original host was just bizarre!
New York is so big!
How could we possibly run into each other?
Even though you look like a younger Li Bingbing, I'm not into that.
Bang!
Just as Zhang Jie was wondering how to get rid of this girl, she suddenly clapped her hands on the table, stood up, and leaned over to look at Zhang Jie.
People eating hotpot in the restaurant all looked over, but quickly looked away because there was no drama for them to watch.
The girl looked directly at Zhang Jie, then introduced herself.
"Benefactor, since you no longer remember me, let me reintroduce myself."
"I am Ye Xiaoxiao, 20 years old, an eighth-generation inheritor of Wing Chun, currently studying at New York University, proficient in Wing Chun, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, and Jeet Kune Do."
After speaking, she glanced at Zhang Jie.
?
No, what are you trying to say?
Proficient in Wing Chun? Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu? Jeet Kune Do?
So what?
Before Zhang Jie could speak, Ye Xiaoxiao continued, "On September 15, 2013, you saved me in Brooklyn.
If it weren't for you, I might have died.
Thank you!"
Faced with Ye Xiaoxiao's formal thanks, Zhang Jie felt a bit flustered.
No? What is this about?
"And you? What's your name?" Ye Xiaoxiao suddenly asked.
Uh...
After thinking for a moment, Zhang Jie still said, "I'm Zhang Jie, proficient in American Iaido."
Simple and clear, I'm so awesome!
Ye Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes, "Heh heh!"
American Iaido...
I've never seen an Asian person use it properly!
However, she didn't expose him; it was good enough to meet her benefactor.
"Alright, you've seen the person, you've said what you wanted to say, so let's go our separate ways and never meet again!"
Zhang Jie waved his hand and stood up to leave.
Ye Xiaoxiao was displeased, "Hey, why are you like this? You're leaving after only a few sentences? Am I a monster?"
Hearing this, Zhang Jie walked even faster.
Ye Xiaoxiao could only follow.
"No, Zhang Jie! You're making me feel very unaccomplished..."
Zhang Jie walked ahead with his head down, not even getting into a car.
He could guarantee that as long as he dared to get in a car, this living ancestor would definitely follow him, so it was better to find a place to shake her off.
Zhang Jie never expected that he would simply go out for hotpot and end up being pestered by such a young kid.
It was simply a disgrace to the assassin world!
However, at this time, Chinatown was at its busiest, with all sorts of people moving back and forth, so getting rid of this Ye Xiaoxiao was still a bit difficult.
His eyes were frantically scanning the surrounding environment, and his brain was working furiously, planning the best route to shake off this girl.
Suddenly, Zhang Jie darted into an alley.
This alley connected to another, but there were also two Fork in the Road in between.
After Zhang Jie darted in, he took off running.
Ye Xiaoxiao, who was following behind, was about to say something when she looked up and realized the person in front was gone.
So she immediately darted two steps forward, then locked her gaze on the alley and followed him in.
It must be said that martial artists are different; their stamina is excellent.
He immediately sprinted for a while, almost out of the alley, already panting, but the girl behind him was perfectly fine.
"No? Buddy, why are you running? I'm not a monster!"
Ye Xiaoxiao followed behind, not even breathing heavily.
Helpless, Zhang Jie could only walk out of the alley and continue forward, while Ye Xiaoxiao, who was following him, kept chattering incessantly.
Zhang Jie felt as if he was seeing a second Mrs. Schneider.
How do you manage to be both young and nagging?
Which young person nowadays has a mouth as broken as yours?
Zhang Jie felt a sense of being unable to live or die; he couldn't shake her off, couldn't run away, and had to listen to her chatter the whole way.
One moment she'd say 'this is nice,' the next 'that's pretty,' then 'what do you do?' and 'do you want to learn Martial Arts with me?'
No, your brain works pretty fast, doesn't it?
I can't even keep up with your thought process.
The further they walked, the fewer people there were.
Finally, they reached the end of Chinatown; walking further would take them out of Chinatown, and by then, there weren't many people left.
Zhang Jie finally couldn't stand it anymore and turned to look at Ye Xiaoxiao, who, caught off guard, almost bumped into Zhang Jie's arms.
"It's not me saying this, Granny, but what exactly do you want?" Zhang Jie was truly at his wit's end.
Ye Xiaoxiao, however, looked at him with her sparkling big eyes, "I just want to repay you, you see, do you want to learn Martial Arts or do something else? Of course, I don't sell myself."
Ye Xiaoxiao crossed her arms over her chest, making a 'I'm so scared' gesture.
Zhang Jie was speechless, "With your NYU hoodie + cycling shorts + limited edition AJ outfit, what could I possibly see?"
"Stop, stop, stop, stop those inexplicable fantasies of yours." Zhang Jie quickly stopped the girl's dangerous thoughts.
Then, with a serious expression, he said to the girl, "First, I'm not after your money.
Second, I'm not after your beauty.
Third, I don't need you to teach me Martial Arts.
Can you understand that?"
Looking at Zhang Jie, who was speaking to her with a serious and proper expression, Ye Xiaoxiao smiled, "Alright, I understand.
Then how about I teach you Wing Chun?"
Zhang Jie: ?
Why do I have the illusion that I called the police, and the person who answered the phone was you?
So, everything I just said, you didn't hear a single word of it?
Martial Arts?
Why would you teach me Martial Arts?
Who wants to learn such flashy stuff?
Isn't my American Iaido good enough?
"You said you want to teach me Martial Arts, right?
Then I ask you, within 7 steps, is a gun faster, or a knife faster?
Hmm?"
"You have a knife, I have a gun.
If I shoot you, can you dodge it?
Hmm?"
"Answer me!"
"Look into my eyes!"
Facing this question, Ye Xiaoxiao merely smiled without speaking.
She disdained to answer, "No matter how I answer, you won't be satisfied.
How about I demonstrate it for you?"
"No! I'm afraid I'll shoot you dead."
Zhang Jie waved his hand, having already decided not to continue getting entangled with this Ye Xiaoxiao.
So, he walked away without looking back.
"No, you have to believe me, I'm not a liar, I'm really super strong!" Seeing that Zhang Jie still didn't believe her, Ye Xiaoxiao grew anxious and quickly chased after him.
She chased for less than 100 meters when she saw Zhang Jie standing still ahead.
Ye Xiaoxiao was immediately overjoyed, "You've finally come to your senses and want to learn Martial Arts?"
By the time Ye Xiaoxiao reached Zhang Jie's side, she realized a woman dressed entirely in black leather stood in front of them.
"It seems I'll have to deal with two tonight."
The woman glanced at Ye Xiaoxiao and said coldly.
