"Bang!"

After a dull thud, Xiao Feng was tripped and fell to the ground by Du Qingyue.

Du Qingyue knelt on one knee on the ground, her arms still stretched across Xiao Feng's neck, with the golden sunset shining on her.

In Xiao Feng's eyes, at this moment, Du Qingyue seemed to be coated in a layer of gold, shining brightly!

The little girl and Jiang Yixin simultaneously stopped fighting, while Lone Wolf also looked over in their direction, all three of them having a bit of disbelief in their eyes.

Du Qingyue actually managed to defeat Xiao Feng?

No one thought Xiao Feng was deliberately holding back; those repeated times of knocking down Du Qingyue earlier were not fake, and there was no need to hold back at the last moment.

Of course, the three of them didn't know that when Xiao Feng knocked Du Qingyue down, he had actually pulled some tricks. At least the pain Du Qingyue felt, compared to Jiang Yixin in the same situation, was significantly reduced, though it looked quite ruthless.

After exchanging glances for a moment, Du Qingyue stood up and pulled Xiao Feng up, feeling somewhat gratified in her heart. She finally returned the favor!

Although it's not much as she was full of arrows herself, returning this one arrow was not a big deal.

But having a first time means there's no worry for a second time. This successful counterattack managed to build Du Qingyue's confidence, breaking the preconceived notion of Xiao Feng being unbeatable, and she did it personally.

This sense of achievement is something outsiders can't understand!

The little girl was the first to run over to congratulate her, happily asking, "Sister Qingyue, how did you manage to knock down Brother Xiao Feng?"

"Because of you!" Du Qingyue immediately gave the answer.

"...Because of me?" The little girl was stunned for a full three seconds before reacting.

"Yes," Du Qingyue nodded. "Before we divided the groups in the morning, when you were bickering with Yixin, I remember you said that with Yixin's timidness, learning self-defense was pointless; showing her a scary picture could defeat her."

"So... you showed Brother Xiao Feng a scary picture?" The little girl found it hard to believe.

Du Qingyue nodded again and then explained, "In the morning, I remember we spent a long time discussing how to make the opponent reveal a flaw. The conclusion was that it essentially boils down to distracting the opponent.

Based on this conclusion, and recalling your words, I boldly gave it a try."

This statement earned admiration from everyone present. This kind of innovative and creative combat strategy is very worthy of emulating.

But how much one can learn from it relies on individual understanding.

Du Qingyue explained clearly that her innovative method was based on the premise of "distracting the opponent," and surrounding this point, one could completely let loose.

"See?" Xiao Feng patted the dust off his pants, "That's the power of thinking. So long as the mind is free, anything is possible!"

The last bit of light dimmed beyond the horizon, Lone Wolf declined the offer to stay overnight, took the ginseng soup Xiao Feng prepared, and left the villa by taxi, while the little girl and the others each digested the day's gains.

After dinner, everyone took a shower, changed clothes, and rested.

The little girl, wearing pink cartoon pajamas, came down from the third floor and stood outside Jiang Yixin's door. After hesitating for a moment, she knocked on the door.

"Knock, knock, knock!"

After three knocks, the lock clicked, and the door opened.

Seeing it was the little girl outside, Jiang Yixin was visibly stunned and then said irritably, "Why is it you?"

The little girl was displeased, "I came to return your makeup with good intentions, and this is your attitude? If you don't want it, I'll throw it in the trash now."

Saying this, she turned to leave.

"Hey, wait!" Jiang Yixin pursed her lips and opened the door, "Come in."

The little girl walked into the room, closing the door behind her, and then placed the makeup she had been holding on the bed, "I had hidden all these before, and now I'm returning them to you. Honestly, your taste is quite lousy, many of these lipsticks don't suit you at all."

"What do you know, kid? You don't even wear makeup," Jiang Yixin rolled her eyes.

"I'm naturally beautiful, no need for makeup," the little girl said with a smug smile, pulling a card from her pajama pocket, "Here, a high-level membership card from Baoya, which can get you a one-on-one design styling scheme from the designer, and every month you can receive fashion magazines and new makeup."

"Are you sure this is for me?" Jiang Yixin was shocked. High-level membership cards from Baoya are always limited in distribution. The fact that Mu Shihan had one could say a lot.

Also, offering kindness for no reason often indicates ulterior motives. Cumulative combat experience quickly made Jiang Yixin cautious.

"I'm sure! For a small rich girl like me, you can't understand. It's just a membership card, I'll give it away if I want," the little girl said nonchalantly.

"Why give it to me?" Jiang Yixin asked.

The little girl said impatiently, "I already said if I want to give, I'll give. Why do you have to be so troublesome? Haven't you ever received a birthday gift?"

Just as the words were spoken, the little girl hurriedly covered her mouth, clearly realizing she had misspoken.

"Birthday gift?" Jiang Yixin was slightly taken aback, her eyes reddening a bit, with a noticeable change in her tone, "How... how did you know today is my birthday?"

The little girl explained helplessly, "When I was hiding your makeup, I saw your university graduation certificate on the dressing table with your birthday on it. Today I suddenly remembered and came to find you."

Jiang Yixin clearly didn't believe her words. This girl was clearly well-prepared, yet she pretended to be so nonchalant, really hard to understand.

But thinking about it the other way around, Jiang Yixin found it quite normal. After all, after "fighting" for so long, suddenly becoming close wouldn't feel quite right.

Finally, Jiang Yixin took the card in both hands, placed it under her pillow, and took a deep breath, "Thank you!"

These two words were very sincere, but they seemed to carry a hint of sadness.

The little girl thought for a moment, seemingly knowing what Jiang Yixin was thinking, then comforted her, "Sister Qingyue definitely hasn't forgotten your birthday, she's just too busy, and you know, today everyone was very tired."

Though she said that, the little girl regretted it a bit, wishing she had checked with Sister Qingyue before coming, to avoid such awkward moments.

"I'm leaving, you sleep early," the little girl said before quickly leaving.

"Don't tell Qingyue about my birthday," Jiang Yixin quickly reminded her, also believing that Du Qingyue wouldn't deliberately forget her birthday.

The little girl stopped for a second, nodded, and then opened the door.

However, just as she was opening the door, the little girl's eyes widened in surprise, letting out a cry of delight, "Wow!"
