As soon as Mingluo mentions studying, Meng Xiaonan freezes . They’re only in high school, and they only have eight courses . She know she’s a mess when it comes to the sciences, and she knows the only way she can pass is if the test is comprised of multiple choice answers . If she doesn’t improve soon, she’ll definitely be in trouble .
“I know you’re busy, and I’m unable to sleep, so I’m going out to get something to eat . If I stay here, I’ll die of boredom . ” Meng Xiaonan takes her phone and heads out .
He doesn’t stop her . He knows Xiaonan is the type of person who can’t sit still, and right now, he can’t accompany her . As she heads out, Mingluo tells, “Don’t forget my apartment number: 602 . When you’re back, tell security to call my house phone . ”
Meng Xiaonan may be easily confused on any given day, but right now, she’s just exasperated . “I remember . I’m not a child . Unit 602 . ”
The supermarkets in these small districts are super expensive . They cater to the bourgeoisie so they don’t have to go to the community supermarkets for their needs .
Once she leaves the gated community, she stops at a convenience store and purchases a cigarette stick and bottled water . After borrowing a lighter from the store owner [to light her cigarette], she squats down by the steps to look at the store owner’s poodle .
Xiaonan decided to grow her hair out, and now, its length is down her back . Exhaling a skilled, long ribbon of smoke, she looks like a goddess wearing a short skirt uniform .
Her legs look eye-catching with the sun shining against her skin . It just so happens that a group of boys with dyed hair pass by . They all have skipped vocational school and are loitering the sidewalk, blowing clouds of smoke from their cigarettes .
The boys see Xiaonan, and the boy with gradient hair approaches her .
“Hey beautiful, shouldn’t you not be out here in your uniform?” The boy smiles and looks at her predatorily . He doesn’t look ugly, but he isn’t handsome either . He just makes her feel nauseated .
She takes one more drag from the cigarette before tossing it to the side, intending to get away from the boy . When Xiaonan ignores him, the boy’s friends start heckling him .
“Dongyu ge, isn’t it a good day to teach a lesson? Hahaha . ”
He isn’t used to being dismissed by women . Upset, he reaches out and pulls on Xiaonan’s arm . “Didn’t you hear me? I’m talking to you!”
“I’m not being mean . I didn’t hear you,” she says stiffly while shoving away his hand .
The shop owner witnesses the situation and quickly helps Xiaonan . “Don’t bully the girl . ”
“Old man, you’re already dead . So what if we bully her? So, shut up . We came here to deliver a message . Do you believe us?!” The boy with gradient hair berates the old man, but he still is willing to help Xiaonan . He doesn’t want trouble, but the punk is always with a group . As a shop owner, he’s nothing .
With the owner stunned, the boys turn their heads as one takes out his mobile phone . “What’s your mobile number? I want to play with you . ”
She is in no mood to deal with these little punks . Meng Xiaonan impatiently moves one step to the right . “I didn’t bring my phone . I have to go get it from class . ”
“You didn’t bring your phone?” The boy frowns . He reaches out for Meng Xiaonan’s hidden hand . In it was her phone which he quickly snatches from her and shakes it in front of her face . “You said you didn’t bring your mobile phone . Then, what is this?”
Damn it! She curses herself as she surveys the crowd . Including the boy, there’s 8 of them . She is only so capable . There’s a definite imbalance of power . It’s best not to act too rashly to get out of her predicament .
“Give my phone back and I’ll give you my number . I think that’s an even trade . ” Meng Xiaonan focuses on the boy with a blink of an eye . Despite his warning gaze, Xiaonan reaches over and plucks the device from his hand .
“I’m warning you, if you give me the wrong number, you’re toast!” the boys says as he raises his chin .
As they wait for Xiaonan to recite her number, she suddenly looks to the ground and points . “Shit!”
Everyone looks toward the direction Meng Xiaonan was pointing to, and all they see is the lazy poodle . By the time they look back, Xiaonan has already run away in the opposite direction .
“After her!” The boy starts his pursuit while the rest start chasing behind him .
Meng Xiaonan can’t get back to Xiao Mingluo’s neighborhood or the school . Instead, she takes off for the opposite direction . As she runs, she tries to figure out where she can go . There are no police stations nearby, but she can take refuge in the city center hospital!
An Chuxia is in the hospital! And Han Qilu’s mother would be there . That means there will be some bodyguards around . The hospital in itself has security, so for certain, she can rid of these bastards .
There’s about 3 or 4 more blocks to the downtown hospital . Digging deeper, she finds strength and continues to sprint . The boys who have been chasing her, however, are gradually losing steam .
“Liu Dongyu, that woman runs fast! She’s inhuman! We should stop pursuing her!” the boy with gradient hair calls out to the boy upfront .
Liu Dongyu hears the comment and turns his head . He responds loudly, “Are you saying you call yourself a man when a woman outruns you? Hurry!”
As he yells his command, his buddies try to point in front of him .
“What?!” Then Liu Dongyu slams against a row of parked bicycles .
He falls along the row of bikes . He sighs . Since he’s wearing a pair of shorts with flower print, his knees are skinned and bloody, and now, he looks awkward . The people behind him help him to his feet .
Liu Dongyu stands up and looks at the general direction Meng Xiaonan disappeared . He’s pissed she’s ran quite a distance as it is . What if he can’t catch this minx?
He refuses to think of his injury . He quickly asks, “What are you still doing standing here? Go after her! I’m fine!”
They quickly return to pursuing Xiaonan . Liu Dongyu runs, but he clenches his teeth . His feet are heavy because he sprained his ankle . But he’s not giving up pursuit . He must catch her today!
Meng Xiaonan is out of breath once she reaches the hospital . Fortunately, she was able to outrun the boys . She didn’t want to wait for the elevators, so she decides to take the stairs to the inpatient wing .
The group of boys finally reach the hospital, and Liu Dongyu refuses to give up chase . People stare at the group of men with colored hair . They can see their ge is injured, so they conclude that their visit here is to ensure he’s safe .
What they don’t know is Meng Xiaonan is creeping in An Chuxia’s floor . She can’t remember what room she’s occupying, so she runs down the corridor, shouting An Chuxia’s name .
An Chuxia was about to take a big bite from her watermelon when she hears her name being called out . At first, she thought she was just hearing things . But the voice keeps getting louder and louder . It sounds like Meng Xiaonan! Chuxia stiffens and puts down the watermelon on the side table . She pulls out her IV line and runs outside .
As soon as she pokes out her head, Xiaonan pants and rushes to her . “Help me, I’m being chased!”
An Chuxia seems to return to the past when she used to protect Xiaonan . Since her visit, Chuxia feels like she has recovered 100% .
An Chuxia sees 8 men coming from the direction Xiaonan appeared from and she cleared at them . They are quite muscular, and despite her abilities, she knows they’ll overpower her .
“How did you get involved?” An Chuxia whispers . “Mommy just left and steward Han just accompanied them downstairs . ”
If Mommy was here, her bodyguards would’ve been able to take them down . But right now, they have to fend for themselves .
“Ah-!” Meng Xiaonan cries . “I would’ve thought Han Ma would’ve left you with bodyguards . Otherwise, I wouldn’t have come here for help… . ”
There’s nothing wrong with running for help . In this case, they can depend on the people in the hospital and hope they can rescue them in time .
“Where are you running now?” One of the boys says, sighing with relief when he points to Xiaonan . Liu Dongyu finally catches up belatedly due to his leg pain .
After seeing Xiaonan next to Chuxia, he squints . “I wondered why you ran into the hospital . You had a protector? Seems to me your protector is inferior . Are you sisters?”
