Chapter 7
Xu Huicheng arrived at the food street and walked slowly towards the school gate. Before she reached that side, she looked towards the streetlight.
Xu Huicheng could not help but raise her eyes to look at the other person's somewhat youthful face
She harbored a vague expectation in her heart. By the time she realized her delusion, she was already on the bus
"Don't say that, there are people around." A was clearly embarrassed and glanced at Xu Huicheng.
He helped her adjust her loosely draped scarf, "I will take you back."
Those three are actually quite fearless, as they have connections. However, on this busy street, they do not dare to cause too much commotion; they only resort to intimidation
She quietly dug into the fruit in her bowl, listening to the conversation of the two girls beside her. She gathered that one of them was confiding in the other about her emotional life
A man and two companions surrounded him, their faces contorted with malice, "Hey, don't meddle in other people's business!"
She blinked in surprise, hurriedly lowered her head, then quickly stood up and walked around his seat to leave
The man said, "I discipline my wife; it is none of your business."
Her movements were very stiff, and the only aspect that could be somewhat related was her expression
She froze instantly
However, it is evident that she has been targeted
She felt that she had been lucky once again
Thank you..." She trembled as she took it, suddenly feeling like crying. When she fell earlier, her cheek scraped against the ground, stinging painfully, yet she did not shed a tear. However, after this man appeared, she found it hard to hold back her emotions.
After the robbery, three men suddenly emerged from the side. One of them grabbed her arm and shouted, "You shameless woman, dare to steal a man behind my back."
The police asked a few questions, and seeing her frightened appearance, smiled and said, "Don't be afraid, I am a police officer"
Another man was explaining to a passerby, "This woman, along with her lover, deceived my friend out of a lot of money"
She loves to eat desserts, especially liangfen. She remembers that the liangfen she ate in her childhood was transparent. In this city, the liangfen is all black, and the taste is different from that of her hometown. However, she still likes it
He is a good person. However, she is utterly vile
He glanced at her, slightly furrowing his brow, "Where is your bag?"
When Xu Huicheng returned to the dressing room to change clothes, she was mocked by a certain sister. "Shan Cha, you really are not cut out for dancing. With those moves of yours, anyone who sees it would feel nauseated."
Xu Huicheng walked slowly alongside him, feeling that the warmest moment of this winter was now. She suddenly wanted to know his name, so without much thought, she asked, "What is your name?" After asking, she regretted it.
Fortunately, the police quickly regrouped with their companions
Xu Huicheng only then realized that her bag was missing. She slowly turned her head to Mr. Wen Nuan and gently spoke, "Could you lend me twenty yuan?"
"Start jumping quickly," he urged, while taking off his suit jacket
She shook her head, "It was stolen."
The other two companions, upon discovering this, stepped forward to cover it up, saying, "This is a family matter, do not take pictures. It is a family matter."
Mr. Wen Nuan sat alone at a four-person table, quietly perusing the menu with his eyes lowered. His gentle features, illuminated by the warm yellow light, exuded a hint of enchanting softness.
It is sufficient to merely observe things that do not belong to oneself from a distance
She does not understand why she is so nervous. She feels conflicted. On one hand, she looks forward to seeing him, while on the other hand, she fears that he will remember her profession
People had also grown accustomed to her silence; after exchanging a few words and noticing that she did not refute them, they found it uninteresting and gradually left in small groups
After searching for a long time, Xu Huicheng could not find an empty table, so she shared a table with two girls
Xu Huicheng continued to stare at her bowl, stirring the cold jelly.
After taking a few steps out of the shop, she turned back to glance inside.
The girl exclaimed in astonishment, "Let's first test his skills before we proceed."
This is also a means of making money. For example, some sisters are quite daring, and after dancing a round in the venue, their underwear is stuffed full of banknotes.
Mr. Wen warmly protected Xu Huicheng, carefully brushing the sand off her forehead, as if no one else existed
What the three did not anticipate was that it was not the group from the nearby police station that had arrived, but rather the precinct's officers. Upon seeing them from a distance, the three men panicked and ran towards the van, which started up and sped away.
"My surname is Qiao." Mr. Wen did not mind her abruptness and remained gentle, "Just a single character, Yan."
Xu Huicheng raised her leg to kick the man, but was pushed back with a hand. For a moment, she lost her balance and fell in the middle of the road
Yi was still pulling on Jia, speaking in a tone of someone with experience, shrouded in mystery, "Let me tell you, that aspect is really important; when you encounter someone formidable, it is truly enjoyable"
Thank you
She responded in a somewhat affected manner, "Hello, boss"
Then, Xu Huicheng regretted it
After the sisters finished making a round of money, they each went their separate ways
After waiting for a while, her mother still did not call her number. She simply wrapped herself in a cotton coat and walked out.
Xu Huicheng gazed at the steel and wooden bookshelf in the room, and after a few seconds, she stepped forward. She closed her eyes, recalling the trainer's dance moves and expressions, and then imitated them.
Mr. Wen is calm and unhurried. "It seems that you are indeed not in a hurry."
That day, scolding the thief can be described as her inexplicable and tumultuous outburst
Xu Huicheng was born without a sense of rhythm; whenever she danced, her hands and feet were out of sync. She used to find her sisters' seductive dances very alluring, but she simply could not replicate them
After coming out, Mommy was clearly satisfied with Xu Huicheng's performance. She patted Xu Huicheng's hand and encouraged her, "Shancha, you are truly a person of great potential"
She felt a bit neurotic, as he was not here waiting every day. Accompanied by a wave of disappointment, she turned and entered the dessert shop at the street corner
He raised his hand to signal the waiter, just as he met her gaze
Several police officers chased after the car, leaving one officer behind to question Xu Huicheng
Xu Huicheng felt completely uncertain. She changed into a strapless short dress and walked towards the private room with a sense of defiance against death
She did not dare to defy her mother, so she had no choice but to brace herself and go along with it. After only two days of practice, her mother found her a customer and instructed her to perform a solo dance for him
Xu Huicheng changed back into her warm clothes and glanced at the time; it was already past 9 o'clock. She was unsure whether her mother would still find her any clients. Noticing that several of her sisters had left the venue to stand on the street, she also did not wish to stay at the club any longer
The man is not present
Bystanders were increasingly suspicious. Some who wanted to intervene hesitated as well
Xu Huicheng was quite surprised. At the same time, she understood that it was not because her jumping was exceptional, but rather that she had merely encountered a quick shooter by chance
The three were ignored and angrily said, "You little brat, you don't understand the situation."
She felt even more uneasy. She was even more afraid of the police; she considered herself a person who could not be seen in the light.
Mr. Wen warmly supported Xu Huicheng as she stood up, and when he looked at the several men, he remained gentle, "I have called the police; the police station is very close to here. Are you not in a hurry?"
Xu Huicheng understood their intentions, and she struggled desperately in panic, "I do not... know you!"
Although she works in this field, she has never truly enjoyed it. For her, it is a painful process that she must endure, and the so-called flattering words are merely feigned. In fact, she has been emotionally drained for a very long time and can only keep lubricant on hand.
The man raised a red booklet confidently, saying, "I have a marriage certificate here, do you recognize it?"
Xu Huicheng wishes to take a break for a while, but her mother will not allow her to do so. In an attempt to expand Xu Huicheng's range of services, her mother suggested that she learn dance
Girl A says she has developed feelings for a boy, but her good friend liked him first, and she does not know what to do. Although she wants to suppress her feelings, every time she sees the boy chatting with her friend, she feels a surge of anger inside.
The shop is not large, and most of the customers are students. Some pairs occupy a table meant for four people.
The man collapsed onto the sofa after finishing, waving her to leave.
Upon careful calculation, she has not genuinely engaged in business for nearly one and a half months. If it could continue like this, how wonderful it would be
Xu Huicheng's body could not keep up with the sudden movement and was forcibly dragged along by him
Therefore, when her bag was snatched, she did not resist. She was afraid that the thief would truly have her in mind
The man shouted with great seriousness, "I will confront your lover today." After saying this, he grabbed her and headed towards the van parked at the intersection.
Thank you for your guidance, Mommy. Xu Huicheng was still hesitating whether to tell Mommy the truth. Before she could make a decision, Mommy had already left due to other matters
In recent days, Xu Huicheng has been contemplating taking a stroll at the food street. A few days ago, she was busy dancing, which caused her to return home quite late. This evening, she again wishes to go there for a walk
Xu Huicheng believes that with her dancing skills, if she could earn money in this way, it would truly be a miracle. As expected, after strolling around for a while, her gains were meager.
However, that man unexpectedly became fervent, unfastening his pants and starting to rub himself. After a few strokes, he let out a loud shout and finished.
The man had to pull her, but suddenly, he was pushed away by a force. He took a few steps back.
The pedestrians whispered among themselves, and no one stepped forward, but a bystander raised their phone
Mother included Xu Huicheng in the troupe of dancers because of this matter. When there are no guests, Mother allows Xu Huicheng to perform in the main venue.
Mr. Wen warmly took out a tissue and handed it to Xu Huicheng, saying, "Wipe the wounds on your face."
Xu Huicheng had just finished the bowl of fruit jelly and was about to get up when she suddenly saw the man directly in front of her
Then Xu Huicheng leaned into a warm embrace. She stared blankly at the chest before her
The customer was a middle-aged man with a round face and big ears. Upon seeing her, he squinted his eyes and smiled, causing his double chin to quiver. "Camellia."
For so many years, Xu Huicheng has been in the margins, not daring to provoke others. She has no power and has always lived in a submissive manner
She stammered while explaining that she did not know that group of people
Xu Huicheng forced a smile, this is a fact
