One.

Being disliked or despised doesn't matter. After all, we are not of the same world, pitifully trying to maintain our reputation. What's the use?

He chuckled self-deprecatingly, and Lv Aicao looked at him calmly, saying, "None? Since you can't even show a little sincerity, then don't waste each other's time."

Is that girl Le You?

Lü Ai picked up her wallet and gave the man a cold glance. His dirty coat, messy hair, and yellowed eyes did not make him look like a good person. In the past, she would have sent him to the police station, but now...

Le Chengyu shook his phone and said, "Once I finish sending you, I will call the police."

Don't worry, we'll be there after passing two traffic lights ahead. Le Chengyu turned his head to look at her anxious profile. She instinctively tucked the stray hair on her cheek with her hand. A teardrop mole below her left eye was faintly visible under the dim car lights.

In fact, this is the first time that Lü Aicao has walked into that charming old lane during the day. This is the route she takes home every night after work.

Lv Ai Cao didn't know how long she had been running. Her gradually depleting physical strength forced her to watch as the black figure in front of her ran further and further away. No matter how desperately she shouted "robbery," this alley seemed to be cursed, with not a single passerby.

Le Chengyu. A cold smile appeared on Lv Aicao's face, and she returned to her arrogant self. "Thank you for helping me today, but I advise you to stay away from me. I am not smart, poor, and not ambitious. I don't have time and energy to like others. I only love money. So if you are interested in me, there is no need to beat around the bush, just show me your sincerity."

Yes. Le Chengyu smiled awkwardly and said, "My sister, she made you laugh."

Wallet! My wallet! Lv Aicao pointed forward, and the man who stole her wallet had long disappeared without a trace.

Lv Aicao was a bit at a loss, allowing him to fasten his seat belt.

The continuous rainy weather makes people feel depressed, while the sultry heat lingers like a cumulonimbus cloud. Fortunately, the people of this city have finally endured until the last day of May. It drags its affected tail slowly, as if unwilling to end so quickly. However, June is already impatiently approaching, and the air is filled with heat, and summer arrives unconsciously.

Finally, when she reached the third corner and looked up at the sign, she finally realized that she had taken the wrong path. She couldn't remember where she had made the wrong turn, and there was no time to regret. All Lv Aicao knew was that she was going to be late.

The corners of Le Chengyu's mouth froze, looking blankly at the cold girl in front of him. In just a moment, this girl seemed to have escaped to the clouds.

Boyfriend ?

A man was captured by Le Chengyu, screaming in pain. Lv Aicao stepped forward and searched through his clothes, and indeed found the old purple wallet. Upon opening it, she counted the money inside, and not a single penny was missing.

Said goodbye casually, Lv Aicao turned around and walked away with a hint of relief and anticipation.

You ... ...

She took out her phone, started to locate her position, and calculated in her mind that if necessary, she would take a taxi to the hospital. Although it would be expensive, the matter could not be delayed.

Lv Ai Cao wanted to say insincerely "It's okay", but couldn't bring herself to say it. Le You's arrogance and tyranny were well-known throughout the school, so Lv Ai Cao was not surprised when she had a falling out with Liang Bo.

Seeing the unpredictable expression on the boy's face, Lu Aicao probably knew that his words had successfully provoked him.

Before considering whether to send him to the police station, can you first take me to the × × hospital?

I am looking forward to my mother's illness improving soon.

Never before have I received such attention from the opposite sex, or perhaps I have never noticed it. Lv Aicao's whole body suddenly stiffened, and every pore on her body was filled with inexplicable embarrassment and anxiety.

She was playing with her phone while holding her old purple wallet under her arm. Suddenly, a stranger appeared from around the corner, lowered his head, hurriedly walked past her, and without her noticing, snatched the wallet filled with her hard-earned salary.

Lv Aicao was panting heavily while sobbing uncontrollably. When she looked up, she saw Le Chengyu, a boy she had already seen several times in the past two days. Lv Aicao was not good at remembering people's names, but she happened to remember this name that she had only heard once.

"Should we send him to the police station?" Le Chengyu asked.

Lv Ai Cao has never been good at running, and even running too fast can cause chest tightness. But at this moment, she doesn't care about that much. Even if it costs her life, she must retrieve her wallet! It was the result of working three jobs and advancing her salary. It was for her mother's hospitalization expenses!

Yes, she defines him as beautiful, but not because he really looks as beautiful as a girl.

However, as he looked into the girl's watery eyes, the slight annoyance was extinguished like water being poured on it. Le Chengyu couldn't help but say, "I just thought it would be troublesome for you to go back by yourself. Why don't I give you a ride on my way back?"

It's not the first time she has heard a boy say such words to her. From childhood to adulthood, there have been quite a few people pursuing her. But this time, her cheeks unexpectedly felt a slight warmth. Lv Aicao instinctively took a step back. She didn't know why, but she was a little afraid of this handsome boy who had a similar appearance to He Leyou.

Pa.

Beautiful home, beautiful appearance, beautiful upbringing, beautiful skills, and even a beautiful life.

Take a deep breath, in the expectant gaze of the other party, Lv Aicao coldly and unreasonably replied, "So what? Am I supposed to get on your car?"

Le Chengyu opened the car door and rushed out. In no time, he had the middle-aged man in black clothes pinned down on the car hood.

The strong sense of self-protection in the body has once again emerged and caused trouble. Lv Aicao made a preliminary judgment on Le Chengyu - he is just a wealthy and idle playboy.

The thief has already run so far, can we really catch up? What should we do if the wallet is lost and where should we get the money for mom's hospital expenses?

A black sports car rushed out from the alley at this moment, almost colliding head-on with Lv Aicao who was still running wildly. She was so frightened that she stumbled and suddenly stopped, only to find that her tears had been flowing uncontrollably.

Realizing that I was a bit out of line, Yue Chengyu gently turned his head and awkwardly cleared his throat, saying, "Today, I guess I...owe you one. If it weren't for you breaking the siege that day, I wouldn't know what to do."

However, at this moment, she did not know that the injustices, hardships, pains, and sufferings she had experienced in her previous life were just a taste of what was to come. From this very moment, her world had already begun to collapse on the edge, and everything would be turned upside down.

In May every year, it is the month with the highest annual rainfall in this southern city.

This road, familiar enough to walk back with eyes closed, is not an exaggeration. But under the broad daylight, Lv Ai unexpectedly caught a hint of unfamiliar scent.

The journey to the hospital, although not far, happened to coincide with the rush hour. The road was congested with heavy traffic, making it difficult to move even an inch. Lv Aicao glanced at her watch from time to time. Normally calm, she began to feel anxious. If she couldn't pay the hospitalization fee today, she would definitely not be able to get a bed this month.

Just at this moment, a loud honk sounded outside the window. It was then that Le Chengyu noticed that the cars in front had already started moving, so he took the opportunity to stop the awkward conversation and focused on driving.

Public hospitals have a strict closing time at five o'clock. At three o'clock, she came out of the bar, walked for ten minutes, and then took a one-hour bus ride, just in time to arrive at the hospital to pay for her mother's hospitalization. But now, whether she can find her way out from this completely unfamiliar place is a problem.

Upon hearing this, Yue Chengyu wasted no time and immediately pulled her into the car.

The gap between the arm and the body suddenly cleared. In panic, the mobile phone in Lv Aicao's hand fell to the ground. Lv Aicao's head buzzed, and his chest felt like it had been punched hard, causing a dull pain.

Resigned, at this moment, she will not be involved in the risks of the so-called love.

Oh, by the way, that boy... While Lv Aicao was lost in thought, Le Chengyu gathered his courage and asked softly, "Is he your boyfriend?"

This seemingly ordinary noun sounded like a fantasy to Lü Aicao, and she couldn't hide the emotions in her eyes as she responded to him with a very surprised look—How is that possible?

Oh, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have spoken out of turn.Although he apologized, Le Chengyu couldn't help but curl his lips slightly.

Why would someone so beautiful want to get close to me?

However, it seems to be just a momentary thing.

Le Chengyu had a moment of distraction, but he quickly regained his composure. He looked at the man and, being a germaphobe, couldn't help feeling a bit disgusted. So he took out his phone with one hand, took a picture of the man's face, and immediately let go.

Her mind was bombarded by countless questions, and her face had almost frozen into ice. Her eyes had lost their luster, but she had no idea that Yue Chengyu had already found a direction at this moment. He seemed to have learned relevant skills. With Ai Cao's simple answers, he quickly pieced together the appearance of the thief and swiftly captured the man's figure.

Thank you. If it weren't for you showing up in time today, I'm sure I wouldn't know what to do. The voice carried a hint of unease. She turned her head and happened to meet the gentle gaze that Le Chengyu had already fixed on her face.

Upon hearing his words, Lv Aicao realized that she had been too preoccupied and hadn't properly thanked him from the beginning until now.

Actually, Le Chengyu's temper is considered easy-going, but in this situation, he is still a bit annoyed.
