An Ning made up her mind in an instant. If she missed out on a good bit of gossip, she wouldn't be able to sleep a wink.
She was quick, darting down a small path and zipping along with nimble footwork until she was hidden behind a large tree next to Chen Mingliang's house.
An Ning expertly concealed herself, peeking out just a little. Her neck was craned, and she wished her ears could prick up. Just as she was about to use her spiritual power to eavesdrop on the gossip, a bundle of leaves landed on her head.
"What the heck!"
"Shhh... shhh..."
The shushing sound came from above. An Ning looked up.
"Get up here! I saved a spot for you!"
'Jiang Xia!'
Jiang Xia was crouched on a large tree branch, pointing to the spot beside him and giving An Ning a meaningful look.
"'Now that's what I call a friend!'"
Using her hands and feet, An Ning scrambled up the tree as nimbly as a monkey. She quickly reached Jiang Xia's side, gossip-ready.
"Here."
"A true professional!"
"Experience."
