There were many onlookers under the pedestrian overpass earlier, so after I squeezed out of the crowd of onlookers, the crowd delayed the underlings of Lin Yunan for a while. There was a bus station a hundred meters away from us, and there were also many people waiting for the bus, but I didn’t intend to get on a bus. I just wanted to use this crowd of people as a distraction.

  When the underlings of the Lin Yunan were finally able to squeeze out of the crowd of onlookers, they just happened to see us disappear into the crowd of people waiting for the bus. When they were busy searching for us in the crowd of people that were waiting for a bus, we had already come out from the other side and went into a dark alley.

  The other side of the alley was a busy commercial street. It was a pity that today was not the weekend, so the wide street was relatively less busy. After we came out of the alley, I pulled Yao Wan’er into a mall that was the nearest to us.

  Then we hid at the safety stairway on the first floor of the mall. Only after seeing that no one was chasing behind us, I dared to slow down and slowly climbed up to the second floor. Looking at the two soft masses bouncing up and down on Minx’s chest, I couldn’t help but sigh. No wonder she was panting. They seemed quite heavy…


  I was also very tired. But it was not caused by running. I had been feeling tired after getting up in the morning. After all, I spent three or four hours being too rough on Ziyuan’s body last night, plus the after-effects of drinking those two strange bottles of red wine, I felt that my body was very heavy. Otherwise, with my normal running speed, Xiao Yike and Yao Wan’er definitely wouldn’t be able to keep up with me.

  Outside the exit on the second floor was a fast-food restaurant. I specifically picked a seat by the window and ordered three drinks. Minx sat down beside me, looking at me angrily, and then said to me after catching her breath, “If I don’t follow you, then who should I follow? I have never seen a person like you. Weren’t you trying to save a damsel in distress? How could you make those bad guys anxious and then run away by yourself? Do you want those guys to hit me?”


  “I was not trying to save you. And do you even need me to save you? Those people didn’t dare to hit you at all. Besides, you have so many underlings, even if you have a fight with them, you won’t lose, right? “I rolled my eyes at Xiao Yike and said. “Wan’er, are you okay?” I’m sorry. You hurt your legs, but I still dragged you around…”


  “Elder Brother Nan!” Yao Wan’er, who was lying on the table panting, suddenly raised her head. Her face flushed, her eyes sparkled, and she said with a voice that was trembling with excitement, “That was so… so exciting! It was the first time I had a fight with someone, and it was the first time I was chased by someone like this!”


  I was speechless… What was wrong with her? What was so exciting about this kind of thing? I couldn’t help but say, “Well, if they caught you, you might also be able to experience being beaten up by someone for the first time…”


  Yao Wan’er realized her gaffe, her face turned red, she stuck out half of her tender red tongue and said cutely and shyly, “No, it wouldn’t happen because I have you, Elder Brother Nan. Hee hee. I never knew that fighting can be this fun.”


  ‘Fighting is fun? Does this girl have violent tendencies or the so-called potential for being a sadist?’ This nasty thought actually made my heart throb a little inexplicably…


  “It’s not fun at all,” I hurriedly stopped the random thoughts, looked out the window vigilantly, and said, “You’ve overestimated me. I only have two fists, if I could take them all out, I wouldn’t have run away.”


  “It’s not running away. This is called a strategic relocation after the battle is won! Elder Brother Nan, you are too modest. Who doesn’t know that last time, Zhang Mingjie, Li Qi, and Hong Tao colluded with each other and hired several gangsters to beat you? But you actually sent all those gangsters to the hospital.

  “Also, Elder Brother Yang often caused trouble outside, it was you who settled all those troubles for him. He often said that even if there were ten of him, he still would not be able to defeat you.” Probably, Yao Wan’er’s life was so calm and peaceful that it had reached the point of being dull. Maybe that was the reason why she would think that fighting was fun, and she would get excited when being chased by a group of bad guys.

  I shook my head and smiled bitterly. “Don’t believe your Elder Brother Wei’s nonsense. It’s about his face, so naturally, he would lie about what really happened. When we were chased by the people he had a problem with, it was even worse than this. You think your Elder Brother Wei would tell you the truth to embarrass himself?”


  “But Liusu also said that you were very strong when you were in college, and you often stood up for her…”


  “Stood up for her?” I couldn’t help complaining, “It was she who used me as a shield every time. It caused me to be troubled by her suitors all day long. I had only two choices back then, one was to run away, and the other was to chase them away. It was just like why Zhang Mingjie wanted to hire gangsters to beat me up….”


  Through the glass, I saw the extremely eye-catching Lin Yunan quickly running past the mall with seven or eight people in school uniforms on the street. After they disappeared at the end of the street, I finally breathed a sigh of relief.

  Then I heard Xiao Yike say with an enigmatic tone, “That’s why you are a stupid good guy. If I were you, I would slap Elder Sister Liusu. In that way, she definitely would not dare to use you as a shield again. Hmph. If you don’t like her, would you even allow her to use you as a shield every time?”


  I couldn’t help but blush. Although I only regarded Liusu as a “buddy” at the beginning, now that I thought about it, if I didn’t have feelings for her, why would I be willing to pretend to be her boyfriend to chase away her suitors?

  I rolled my eyes at Minx and said, “Is it?”


  “But you are less forgiving when I made a mistake. Hmph, it’s really annoying. Why do you treat me so differently from her?” Minx pouted her mouth and said.

  Retracting her gaze from outside the window, she continued, “Is that the reason why you are so good at running away from other people? I guess it must be. You must have been chased by her suitors many times. I was almost fooled by you when you ran into the bus station.

  “Lin Yunan is really unlucky. He was beaten up by you, and now he would run around the street on a hot day. If he knew that we were sitting here and drinking cold drinks while watching him running around, he would probably puke blood because of extreme anger. No one has ever made him so angry before. Uncle, you are in big trouble now. He is not some street hooligans, you know.”


  I took the tissue that Yao Wan’er handed over, wiped the sweat beads on my forehead, and said, “Who do you think started it?”


  Seeing that I was angry, Minx quickly shifted her blame and pointed at Yao Wan’er, “It was her!”


  Yao Wan’er was taken aback, her little hand trembled, causing half a cup of the drink to be spilled, “Me?”


  “Yes, it was you,” Minx said to me sincerely, “Uncle, I swear to God, I wasn’t looking for trouble. Feng Xue and I were out for lunch, but Lin Yunan shamelessly followed us. He thought that I didn’t know. He wanted to deliberately bump into me and take advantage of me. But Feng Xue reacted first and pushed him off the pedestrian overpass.

  “We thought that guy would be injured, and it would teach him a lesson, but we didn’t expect that she was standing on the stairs below him, so he knocked her over. It wasn’t our fault, to begin with, so if I helped her up, it would mean that it was our fault, right? So I asked Lin Yunan to help her up, but Lin Yunan used this opportunity to ask me out.

  “This young lady is already taken, so how can I go out with him? I am very faithful to you, uncle. So we got into an argument. Some passing classmates thought that he was bullying me so they stood by my side. Lin Yunan was afraid that I would beat him because we had more people, so he called some people over.

  “Then you saw what happened later. Uncle, you need to believe me, I am no longer a delinquent girl. And it was not my fault at all. If this Elder Sister got up by herself, then it wouldn’t have become like this. So she is directly responsible for it!”


  She was truly worthy of being a close friend of Chu Yuan. She was just as unreasonable as her.

  “I… I was scared… I, I’m sorry…”


  But what made me speechless was that Yao Wan’er actually believed her and really thought that she was the one who caused it. Her eyes teared up and she even apologized to a girl who was much younger than her.

  Even Xiao Yike was also startled by Yao Wan’er’s innocence. It even made her feel like she was bullying a little girl. “Wait, I didn’t mean that, Elder Sister, please don’t cry…” She said in a panic and then looked at me for help.

  None of the girls or women around me seemed to be normal… I sighed and changed the subject, “Wan’er, why were you in that place?”


  “Ah!” Yao Wan’er let out a soft cry and stood up abruptly. “Oh no, I completely forgot about what I need to do.”


  I asked curiously, “What is it?”
