Chapter 379: Chapter 379

This outfit perfectly showcases her figure, clearly indicating that Sophie is usually someone who knows how to dress well and understands her strengths.

Seeing Li Jing staring at her, Sophie rare displayed a slightly anxious expression, asking, "What do you think, does this look good?"

"It looks good. I must say, your legs are indeed quite a sight."

Hearing Li Jing’s straightforward compliment on her figure, Sophie wasn’t shy but rather proudly said, "Really? I also think this outfit suits me best. Since you like it, let’s go."

"Where to?" Li Jing asked. "I haven’t planned anything for today."

"Hmm... Let me think."

Sophie thought for a moment and then said, "How about we go to the old street? There are many traditional buildings and snacks. As this is your first time here, you can have a look."

"Sure, you be the tour guide."

"Alright, I’ve been there several times, I can surely be a good guide!"

The old street is located in the old town, preserving a lot of Southern Ocean style arcade buildings full of historical charm. Thanks to commercial development, there are also many local specialty snacks and shops, making it a well-known tourist spot.

Li Jing and Sophie walked side by side on the old street.

Sophie’s long legs were white and straight, attracting several people’s attention not long after they started walking.

Seeing Li Jing beside her, nobody approached to chat, but occasionally glanced from afar.

After all, beautiful things always attract attention.

In fact, one man ogled Sophie’s long legs only to be discovered by his wife, leading to a small argument.

"I didn’t expect your head-turning rate to be so high."

Li Jing noticed this and couldn’t help but say to Sophie, "Usually, do many people try to talk to you?"

"It’s not too often, but occasionally. I usually refuse,"

Sophie admitted frankly, "Today it’s because I’m wearing shorts, if they were long pants or skirts, the head-turning rate wouldn’t be that high.

Besides, if I go out alone, I generally don’t dress so revealingly."

Upon hearing this, Li Jing raised his eyebrows, "So you’re dressed today because you’re with me?"

"Yeah, you think my legs are nice, so I dressed for you to see."

Sophie said matter-of-factly, "Besides, with you around, I’m not afraid of being taken advantage of."

Li Jing knew she was referring to how he subdued Chen Zixin yesterday.

In Sophie’s eyes, she probably already regarded him as a martial arts expert.

Li Jing didn’t refute this. He just strolled shoulder to shoulder with her down the old street.

Sunlight filtered through the leaves, casting dappled patterns on the ancient stone road.

The old street is lined with Southern Ocean style buildings, the intricate carvings, vintage doors and windows starkly different from inland architectures.

"In the late Qing and early Republic era, many people from Hai Province went to the Southern Ocean to make a living. After succeeding, they returned home to build houses, bringing back architectural concepts, techniques, and decorative elements from the Southern Ocean. These combined with local styles to create the Southern Ocean style of the old street."

Sophie, acting as a competent tour guide, explained while walking.

Li Jing appreciated the old street’s style, nodding slightly.

Having never seen Southern Ocean style before, his first walk along this old street indeed felt like stepping into another world.

Looking up, the Southern Ocean style buildings stood side by side, with arched doors and windows, intricate carvings, and Baroque gables, each detail exuding rich exotic charm.

Though the walls had weathered, they added a sense of historical heft.

The shop signs were vibrant, with traditional characters and vintage designs, exuding a strong nostalgic vibe. Some preserved historical signs were quite distinctive.

Li Jing couldn’t resist taking out his phone, snapping several photos.

Sophie watched and smiled, "Want me to take some pictures for you?"

Li Jing occasionally felt nostalgic, so he didn’t mind capturing moments in photos, often keeping them as memories.

Then he would compare them with photos from years ago, which always made the passage of time clearer and helped him reminisce about past experiences.

Upon hearing Sophie’s offer, Li Jing handed his phone over, positioning himself under a building.

"Oh my, this pose is too formal, how about a lively one?"

"No need, this is good, just recording my current state."

"Alright then, go take one under that building, its decor is quite unique."

Sophie took photos seriously, holding Li Jing’s phone for several minutes, still not satisfied.

It was Li Jing who felt he had enough, taking back his phone intending to leave when Sophie suggested, "Since you’re taking pictures to capture life, why don’t we take some together to mark our encounter?"

Li Jing nodded in agreement.

Sophie smiled, immediately finding a nearby girl to help take some photos of her and Li Jing.

During the photoshoot, Li Jing continued standing formally without any exaggerated gestures. ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹~𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮~𝚗𝚎𝚝

In contrast, Sophie struck various quirky poses beside him.

Initially, Li Jing asked her not to be too extravagant, but according to Sophie, since they’re documenting their real states, Li Jing being serious matches perfectly with her playful demeanor.

Li Jing, having no choice, took quite a few photos under Sophie’s various playful poses.

Looking at the photos, Sophie giggled uncontrollably.

In every photo, Li Jing stood calmly while Sophie made all sorts of silly gestures.

Their styles clashed, yet there was an alternative harmony that made them amusing to see.

After Sophie sent the photos to him, Li Jing found them interesting enough to save them.

Seeing Li Jing save the pictures, Sophie felt happy and proudly said, "So I’ve left a mark in your life?"

"Certainly, every encounter leaves a mark."

"But not all marks are the same, some are deeper than others."

Upon hearing this, Li Jing gave her a peculiar look, "What’s this? Now you want to get closer, aren’t you afraid of me being a playboy and ruining you?"

Sophie’s expression slightly changed, then she pouted, "I never said I want to be with you, just friends. How could you ruin me? Are you going to use force?"

"Force is too crude, I don’t need to bother for women."

Picking up on Li Jing’s confident tone, Sophie grew curious, leaning in to ask, "Really? How do you usually find women? How many do you have now?"

"Can I choose not to answer?" Li Jing continued walking.

"You can refuse, but I’m curious."

"Then I’m not answering."

"You... really don’t know how to accommodate girls." Sophie was speechless.

"So you surely won’t find a girlfriend ..."

As she said this, Sophie realized her words contradicted reality and stopped.

Seeing Li Jing’s odd look, Sophie waved, "Alright, alright, I admit you’ll find a girlfriend, you win."

Li Jing showed no emotions and continued walking.

Sophie couldn’t resist making a face behind his back.

Watching his profile, Sophie felt like she understood Li Jing more, secretly feeling proud and happy, then quickly raised her head and caught up.

"Wait for me, why are you walking so fast?"

"Aren’t those legs of yours long? Can’t keep up?"

"Come on, having long legs doesn’t mean I walk fast."

"Are your legs just for show then?"

"What’s wrong with that? You enjoy looking at them, don’t you?"

Sophie intentionally lifted her legs, making a sensual gesture of caressing them.

Li Jing glanced at her beautiful legs, teasing, "I admit they are nice. Why don’t you wear different stockings next time for me to see?"

"I don’t dress up or wear stockings easily for men."

Sophie pouted and continued, "But you’re an exception. If I’m in a good mood, I might show you."
