The current situation was clearly different from what Wen Yujing said.
‘Aren’t they supposedly fierce and vicious?’
‘Don’t they supposedly do all sorts of evil deeds?’
‘In the end, he’s actually just a good citizen who’s enthusiastic about helping others!’
She felt like a fool for having such an exaggerated reaction just now…
That was not the worst. What made her feel even more hopeless was the words that the other person had spoken.
“This little girl seems to be quite afraid of us. I don’t know if it’s because we look too fierce and daunting, but we don’t dare to go near her at all. I’m scared that she might faint in the next second. Why don’t you go ask her, Brother Nan?”
Li Shunan looked down at the girl who was seated on the ground near him.
The good girl in the uniform had her head hung low, and she seemed to be crying. Her thin arms were revealed, and her skin was so fair that it stood out in the dim environment.
She had a pretty and recognizable face.
He recognized her as soon as he saw her.
Li Shunan naturally remembered her, the inexperienced female swindler who stepped on his shoes and wanted to compensate him for dirtying them.
Not noticing the look in his eyes, the other man said, “Actually, I think I look alright. I don’t think I’d scare her away.”
“What should I do about this? I frightened her and caused her to have a great fall. I’m the worst at coaxing girls.” The other man scratched his hair with some annoyance.
“The main point is, this girl is so pretty. I just wanted to ask her out of concern and goodwill, but she turned out to be too timid.”
The two of them began to doubt themselves.
Li Shunan grinned faintly, leaning his thin body against the corner of the wall, still looking as nonchalant as ever. “Enough, I’ll deal with it.”
The first thing he thought when he saw her there was, ‘These swindlers are really everywhere. They have such a wide business network.’
Hearing his words, the two were extremely grateful. Immediately relieved, they gratefully said, “Thanks, Brother Nan.”
“Thanks, we’ll get going then.”
After saying that, the two of them walked over to the internet cafe on the other side, not daring to turn around at all. It was as if they were scared that he would go back on his words.
Immersed in her own world, Jiang Lingzhi just wanted to dig a hole in the ground and hide in it at this moment.
She didn’t dare to listen to the rest of the things they said. All she knew was that the two of them left smilingly.
Soon, she heard footsteps approaching, and he crouched down halfway in front of her.
When Jiang Lingzhi raised her head, she happened to make eye contact with the pair of light-brown-colored pupils that was right in front of her.
He was about a meter away from her, and it was the first time she got a clear glimpse of his face at such close range.
He was indeed extremely handsome.
The outline of his face was well-defined, and he had deep eye sockets, a high nose bridge, and thin, beautifully-shaped lips. However, the languid look in his eyes was distant and calm.
The two of them simply stared at each other in silence.
Jiang Lingzhi’s expression was a little stiff, and she seemed to be on the verge of breaking down.
While crouching, Li Shunan fiddled with an unlit cigarette between his fingers and scrutinized her for a long time before asking, “Can you still stand up?”
As soon as he spoke, Jiang Lingzhi snapped back to her senses and lowered her head again. She really looked quite pitiful.
Li Shunan stopped moving his fingers and suddenly felt that he had run into trouble. Gritting his molars, he looked at her scraped knee and asked, “Does it hurt?”
