Wen Hua felt nauseous and ran away.
“Why are you running? Us brothers are all good people. We love you so much. Don’t be afraid.”
“Yo, the little beauty is really fast. We are almost unable to catch up to her, hahaha –”
The three of them laughed and chased after her, taking big strides.
She should have checked the almanac before she went out. Wen Hua cursed the hooligans in her heart and ran as fast as she could with a posture that was a hundred times more serious than during the school sports meet.
The cold night air mixed with the fragrance of osmanthus entered her lungs. After running for three streets, she clearly felt that her breathing was chaotic, her thigh muscles were sore, and her speed was somewhat reduced.
She regretted walking so far just now. Based on the current situation, she was afraid that she would be caught by the hooligans before she could run out of the alley.
The hooligans behind her did not stop chasing her. The distance between them gradually shortened, and the nervousness in her heart became clearer and clearer.
There was a bend in the alley ahead, so she sped up and ran in. Wen Hua’s eyes lit up when she saw a person approaching her, as if she had seen her savior.
Her face was full of surprise and joy. She ran to the boy in a few steps and heard the hooligans behind her catching up. She immediately held onto his arm.
Xi Mo’s cold eyes looked at the sudden person and frowned slightly.
“You’re here.” She pretended to say, “I’ve been waiting for you for a long time.”
“You’re lucky. You ran a few streets, and you actually met someone.” The blonde sneered, “You can hold a stranger’s arm. Why aren’t you willing to take a walk with us? It seems like you’re treating him differently. Look at how handsome he is!”
Wen Hua was still panting. She tried her best to control her breath and said calmly, “I just said that I’m waiting for my boyfriend. If you know what’s good for you, then get lost. My boyfriend is from the underworld and has a black belt in taekwondo. If you don’t want to be crippled, then get lost.”
“You’re bluffing! Boyfriend? A black belt in taekwondo? Hahahaha~” The hooligan laughed without restraint. “Sister, you call a person your boyfriend just because you’re on the road? You know how to play. Come, call us brothers hubby.”
Wen Hua’s eyes flashed with coldness. The hand that was holding Xi Mo unconsciously tightened. She turned her head to look at him. His face was cold as if he was not involved in the matter. There seemed to be some displeasure in it, as if he was going to leave at any moment.
She looked at him for help and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, “Help me.”
The gangster took a puff of his cigarette and said in a hoarse voice to Xi Mo, “Brother, if she’s not your woman, don’t meddle in other people’s business. This sister is playing with us. Go do your thing and pretend you didn’t see it.”
Xi Mo’s face was hidden under the cap, and his facial features were cold and hard. He looked indifferent and did not seem like a warm-hearted person.
Moreover, because she was holding his arm, he seemed to be annoyed and lifted his arm slightly as if he wanted to leave.
Wen Hua panicked. A person who had never encountered such a situation since she was young, she fumbled and pulled his arm to stand on tiptoes.
Her soft lips planted a kiss on his chin.
He was too tall. She had to stand on her tiptoe to kiss his chin.
Wen Hua’s eyes reflected the dim street lights. Her eyes were clear and bright. She looked into his eyes and said seriously, “Help me.”
Xi Mo was slightly stunned. He did not expect to be ambushed like this.
His face was gloomy.
Three seconds later, the temperature around him dropped.
He pushed her away unceremoniously, and his gaze swept coldly towards the three people. His thin lips spat out an extremely cold word. “Scram.”
The hooligan was intimidated by his cold expression for two seconds before he spat indignantly, “F*ck, you still want to be a f*cking hero, and save the damsel in distress? Today, whether this b*tch is your woman or not, we’re going to play with her for sure. If you want to be a fly, don’t blame us for beating you until your mother doesn’t even recognize you. If you’re afraid, then hurry the f*ck up..”
Xi Mo’s lips curled up slightly. His dark eyes were cold and emotionless. He quickly walked forward and grabbed the gangster’s neck. He raised his right hand and punched the gangster’s abdomen. The gangster took a punch and immediately let out a deep groan.He couldn’t even make any extra sound.
The two people beside him were stunned for a moment. Why was he so fast?
Seeing that the situation was not right, the two of them also joined the fight.
A moment later, there were waves of screams in the alley. Those who heard it could not help but have goosebumps.
This person was fierce when he fought. He was merciless in his attacks. It did not look like a fight, but more like he wanted to kill someone. They had been in society for so long, but they had never seen such a ruthless person. The gangsters were afraid. If they did not beg for mercy, they would be crippled.
Wen Hua clutched the corner of her shirt as she watched the tragic fight. Her mouth was as round as a plum.
Her life had been smooth before, and she had never seen a gangster, except on television. Now, this kind of heart-wrenching fight could completely subvert her worldview.
Xi Mo was dressed in black and blended in with the night. When he was beating someone, his expression was very calm. By looking at his expression, one could not even tell that he was beating someone, let alone how severe his attacks were.
She had always thought that the mafia and the vicious young men only existed in movies. Seeing such a scene with her own eyes was really exciting and scary. Although she felt very happy to be saved, after heard the cries of pain in her ears one after another, she was really afraid that he would beat someone to death.
Wen Hua went over to stop him. “Don’t beat him anymore. He might die later.”
Xi Mo was about to stop when he heard the voice and turned his head to look at her.
When she met his dark eyes, she suddenly remembered what she had done just now and did not dare to look at him directly.
With a light snort, he took off the cap and put it back on. His sharp eyebrows were hidden under the brim of the cap as he slowly approached her step by step.
Shocked by the pressure from his body, Wen Hua’s back was pressed against the wall, and her chin was pinched by him without any gentleness. There was no warmth in his voice. “Who gave you the courage?”
The coldness from his fingertips transferred to her chin, and her back stiffened. “I was in a rush, and I didn’t mean to disrespect you. I’m really sorry. If you can’t handle it, you can- you can..”
Xi Mo looked down at her, but his hand was quite strong.
Looking at his perfect handsome face, sharp brows and bright eyes, the impact was too strong. She swallowed and said in a low voice, “If you can’t take it anymore, you can kiss me back.”
Hearing this, Xi Mo narrowed his eyes slightly. The gaze that fell on her face was even more scorching.
He was too tall and the back of his neck was a little sore. Wen Hua, who was babbling nonsense, suddenly regained her senses. “I’m just kidding.. I can compensate you for the damages.”
Being too close, not only was she forced to look into his deep eyes, her face would also be brushed by his breaths from time to time, disturbing her heart.
After his patience was exhausted, Xi Mo let go of her.
“Don’t let me see you again.”
Wen Hua heaved a sigh of relief, tidied her clothes, and said sincerely, “No matter what, I still have to thank you. If I hadn’t met you tonight, the consequences would have been unimaginable. I have caused you trouble. We will meet again if fate allows it.”
As she spoke, she made a greeting fist and bowed. She did not know if the triads were interested in this kind of thing. It should be common across the country.
When she returned to the hotel, she took a long time to recover from the shock. After a while, she felt scared. Tonight, she was really daring. She actually dared to go to a quiet alley alone. Not only did she meet a gangster, she even forcefully kissed a mafia.. coming to Lucheng to study was simply a series of twists and turns.
After drinking some water to moisten her throat, she still felt that tonight was very exciting. On a whim, she opened her diary..
At the end of the diary:
That cold-faced handsome man was really handsome. Not only was he good-looking, he was also handsome when he fought.
He is a good person.
