C163 Chapter 163
Furthermore, Faang Xuan had seriously broken their legs. If they were caught in the Patrol Bureau, they would definitely suffer.
"What are you still standing there for? Run!"
The girl quickly put away the note in the guitar case and put the guitar away. She pulled Faang Xuan's arm and ran out of the subway station.
Faang Xuan was stunned. He did not know whether to laugh or cry, but he did not struggle. The girl grabbed one of his arms and ran out.
The girl seemed to exercise a lot. She ran very fast. Although she was not as fast as the 100m sprint, she could match the speed of lightning.
After running for about ten minutes, the girl's breathing started to quicken. Her speed also decreased quite a bit. The ponytail on her back that was jumping up and down due to running was also slightly messy. On the loose white T-shirt, one could already see obvious sweat stains.
"It should be about time, right?"
Faang Xuan could not bear for the girl to continue running, so he kindly reminded her.
"Almost there? It's... far away. Don't you know the perseverance of the patrolling officers in G Country? If they really want to catch a person, they won't give up even if they chase him for more than ten streets."
The girl didn't slow down her pace. Instead, she panted heavily as she answered Faang Xuan.
"But no one is chasing us from behind." Faang Xuan had long noticed that no one had been chasing them ever since they left the subway station.
"Really?"
The girl stopped in her tracks and turned around to look behind her for a while. As expected, she did not find any pursuers. Finally, she stopped completely and greedily breathed in the air around her.
After about two to three minutes, the girl's rapid breathing slowed down due to her rapid running. She stuck out her tongue at Faang Xuan and said with some embarrassment, "There really is no one chasing after us. Oh, right. Thank you for what you did just now."
Faang Xuan waved his hand, indicating that there was no need to thank him.
The girl seemed to be very talkative. She first introduced herself as Ye Ying. She was a sophomore student from New Nederland University. She came out to perform at night. It was to work and study, and she had encountered many harassment incidents in the past. It was just that he was not as unreasonable as this black hooligan tonight, to actually start a fight.
In the end, G Country was still a lawful society, even though the crime rate in New Nederland was the highest in the world. But their security was also the strictest. Even in places like the subway, there would be patrols every half an hour.
When the girl asked about Faang Xuan's situation, Faang Xuan only gave her a simple name and then changed the topic. "Do you live in the school dormitory? I'll send you back."
Ye Ying blinked her charming big eyes. After confirming that Faang Xuan's coldness was not a game of playing cat and mouse, she laughed and said, "I can't afford to live in an apartment in the school. I rented a small room outside. Besides, it's so late. The school has closed for a long time. "
"Oh."
Faang Xuan did not deny it. Since the other party did not live in the school, he was naturally embarrassed to mention sending her home again. In the middle of the night, it was another lonely man and woman. He made such a request. Others would only think that he had other intentions.
"Then, let's split up here. Being able to meet fellow countrymen in a foreign country is also fate. I hope to meet them in the future in the country." Faang Xuan waved at Ye Ying and prepared to leave.
However, Ye Ying did not answer him. She just stared at him.
Faang Xuan touched his face with his hand. After making sure there was nothing wrong with it, he asked curiously, "Is there a flower on my face? Why are you looking at me like that?"
Suddenly, the girl giggled and revealed a teasing smile, "I think you are a very hypocritical person."
"Hypocrite?" Faang Xuan was puzzled.
"Isn't it hypocritical? Why didn't you say that you would send me home when you heard that I wasn't staying at school? I'm a tiger, how can I eat people? "
" This... " Faang Xuan laughed at himself. He had indeed thought too much. He said awkwardly, "Alright. I'll take you home."
"That's more like it."
The girl snorted in annoyance, then turned around and walked forward.
"Wait..."
The girl did not walk very far when Faang Xuan suddenly called out to her.
"What's wrong now?"
"Can I ask you for a favor?"
The girl didn't even consider the exam and said straightforwardly: "Tell me, what's the matter?"
Faang Xuan stretched out his hand and scratched his head as if he had made a great decision. Finally, with a solemn expression as if he was rushing to the execution ground, he said solemnly to the girl, "Can you lend me a few dollars? I want to buy a pack of cigarettes to smoke."
"You..."
The girl was speechless.
Although he was mentally prepared, Faang Xuan did not expect the place where the girl lived to be so simple.
The basement was less than ten square meters, and it was very dark. If one did not turn on the lights, they would not be able to see anything. The air was filled with a faint musty smell, which made people who just entered feel very uncomfortable.
Ye Ying boldly invited Faang Xuan to her cold house. After entering the house, she pulled out a ten-watt incandescent lamp. Under the dim light, the furnishings in the house could be seen at a glance.
The four walls in the room were covered with a layer of white paper. It looked neat and clean, but the arrangement in the room was almost simple to the point of simplicity.
Other than a bed near the corner of the room, there was only one table in the room. The table was a very ordinary square table. It was unknown how long it had been there. The layer of green paint on the table turned into bits and pieces, and one of the legs of the table became limp. Below was a square brick cushion, and a stack of books was placed on the table. Faang Xuan saw that the cover of the topmost book wrote Pure Economics.
The girl magically found a hot water bottle in the room and poured Faang Xuan a cup of water with her own cup. She laughed at herself and said, "How is it? Did you arrange it well in Hanshe?"
"Not bad." Faang Xuan took the water and gave a positive evaluation.
"Then, you don't mind spending the night here, do you?"
After saying that, the girl looked at Faang Xuan firmly.
Faang Xuan felt a little uncomfortable in his heart. It turned out that the girl had already seen that he was penniless. The reason why he went to the subway station was to find a place to sleep. And in order to not hurt his man's pride, she deliberately used such a casual tone to invite him to stay here for a night.
One had to know that even though she helped chase away the hooligan earlier, but the two of them were strangers after all, and Ye Ying did not know anything about him. Inviting a man with unknown origins, who was the first time they met, to a man who was called 'no answer' every day. How much courage would it take to spend the night in a basement where the ground did not work?
Faang Xuan never knew what it meant to be touched, but at this moment, a weak spot in his heart was deeply touched. He looked back at the girl and said with a determined tone, "I don't mind. This place is pretty good."
"Haha..."
The girl laughed and teased again, "Don't think that I am learning some kind of hero saving a damsel in distress plot in those melodramatic novels. I want to repay you with my own body. It's just that it's getting late, you probably won't be able to find a hotel even if you go out. That's why I'm keeping you for the night "
Faang Xuan habitually took out a cigarette that was probably the first time in his life. He asked a woman to buy him a cigarette and lit it up. He smiled and said, "Understood."
As soon as he spat out a ring of smoke, the girl immediately frowned and coughed.
The space in the room was too narrow and the air was not circulating. He enjoyed smoking. How could the girl tolerate it?
Faang Xuan quickly extinguished the cigarette butt and revealed an apologetic smile to the girl.
"First of all, you should sleep on the floor, but you are not allowed to smoke in my place anymore." The girl gave a stern warning.
Faang Xuan obediently expressed his understanding.
And so, the girl began to pack up.
She found a bed mat from somewhere and laid it on the ground. Then, she threw a roll of blanket on the bed onto the mat. After doing all this, the girl winked at Faang Xuan and said, "The bathroom is to the left of the basement. There is a 24-hour supermarket there. If you want to go to the bathroom and wash up, you can do it there. Alright, I'm going to sleep. I have a specialized class to attend tomorrow afternoon. You should sleep early too. "
After turning off the lights, the two of them touched the darkness and went to their respective beds. Neither of them spoke again.2
In the darkness, even though one was on the bed, and the other was on the ground, but the distance between the two was actually very close, except for the difference in height... They were practically lined up in a row. However, Faang Xuan did not have any thoughts that he should not have. He admired such a strong and kind girl from the bottom of his heart.
