Chapter 8: Let Go of That Girl
The passersby, one by one, stared wide-eyed yet none had the courage to lend a hand, completely passing by with an attitude of indifference as if it had nothing to do with them
"Uncle and Aunt, we are going out for a little while to relax, and we will be back soon," Huang Fei said as he pulled Yu Ruoling out of the house.
After the old woman settled down, she frowned and touched her waist, appearing somewhat in pain. Once she felt a bit better, she looked at Huang Fei and said: "My son is inside buying things. He said there are many people inside and asked me to wait outside. Young man, I really appreciate you; you are truly a good person!"
The elderly are like children, needing care and attention
The shortest one, approximately 1.6 meters tall, leered at Yu Ruoling with a lewd smile and said: "This is a robbery, hand over your underwear!"
Suddenly, an elderly woman in her seventies or eighties slipped and fell directly to the ground at the entrance of the supermarket. She struggled to get up but found it very difficult, and despite several attempts, she was unsuccessful.
"Now that you have me, you need not think about that man anymore. From now on, you will be my woman," Huang Fei said domineeringly
They often claim to be very busy and have no time. Yet, they are willing to spend a great deal of time on entertainment and pursuing romantic interests. When they return home, they never ask their parents how they are doing or what they truly need
"We will address this issue later; first, can you tell me why you left without saying goodbye?" Huang Fei retorted. After glancing at the doorway, he noticed that only the two of us remained, and indeed, the family members were quite understanding
"You foolish woman, I have made myself so clear, do I need to repeat myself?" Huang Fei said impatiently. "Listen carefully, from now on you are my woman, I will protect you and not allow anyone to bully you"
Huang Fei bought two bottles of beverages from the supermarket and stepped out the door carrying a plastic bag
Most people today are also like this
This is the last straw; if you do not come, I will hate you for a lifetime
I never said I was very thirsty, you are the one doing all the talking, okay... Hey! Before Ruo Ling could finish speaking, Huang Fei's figure had already disappeared into the crowd
She is truly in despair, unable to believe that such a thing is happening again just after returning here
Children today date in a way that is unlike our time, when we were afraid of being discovered even if we just wanted to hold hands. Hehe, times have changed. Ling's mother looked at Ling's father and smiled with a sense of nostalgia.
Ah! Today's children, when they have a disagreement, they disappear, yet when they meet again, they quickly hold hands and are just fine.
"What do you mean by saying I am your woman? What do you want to do?" Yu Ruoling asked
Not long after, Yu Ruoling suddenly shook off Huang Fei's hand and said, "Where exactly are you trying to take me?"
"Yes, boss." Qiangzi nodded in response and immediately walked towards the alley entrance
What? A Ling felt a pang in her heart. Could it be that he knows about her situation? How would he view her then? She never expected her fate to be so unfortunate. Wait a minute, he just called her his woman. What does that mean?
"What the hell!" The young handsome man tapped the lewd man's head again and exclaimed in displeasure. "How many times have I said it? Even thieves have their principles; this is a violation of professional ethics"
The young handsome man was so frightened that he panicked and quickly covered Yu Ruoling's mouth with his hand. Yu Ruoling struggled desperately, but she was unable to scream, only able to widen her eyes and watch the two bandits emit a series of muffled "mm mm mm" sounds.
"I... I already left you a letter, didn't I? How could I leave without saying goodbye?" Yu Ruoling said. Her heart was both sweet and bitter; sweet because this man had found and recognized her, and bitter because she could not possess his love
Mom, why are you sitting on the ground!
Uh? A-Ling is already confused; she cannot figure out what the situation is like right now. She can only respond in a daze.
"What are you talking about! Stop thinking about girls all day, we are here to make money." the handsome man exclaimed
She wanted to struggle but was held tightly, unable to move. From behind came the lewd laughter of several men, and suddenly recalling her painful experiences, her heart was instantly filled with despair
With a dull thud, just as he finished speaking, he was struck on the head by another guy who appeared to be somewhat more handsome
Ah! You young people do not understand!" the elderly person sighed. "As one grows older, staying in the room every day feels as uncomfortable as being in prison. The people I know have gradually passed away, leaving me feeling very empty and lonely. There is no one at home to talk to; the children work every day and are tired when they return home, so I no longer disturb them. Ah! Anyway, I don't have many years left to live, so I might as well come out for some fresh air and experience the vitality of others; this is the only way I feel that I am still alive!" There is no one at home to talk to; the children work every day and are tired when they return home, so I no longer disturb them. Ah! Anyway, I don't have many years left to live, so I might as well come out for some fresh air and experience the vitality of others; this is the only way I feel that I am still alive!
Only in Ruo Qi's heart was there a sense of melancholy. She did not understand why, upon seeing her sister holding hands with this man, she felt a faint sense of loss. It was so strange; she stared blankly at their figures gradually fading away, her heart filled with sorrow.
Yu Ruoling was suddenly pulled into an alley, and a sudden shock coursed through her heart, as a bad premonition spread from within her.
"Are you thirsty?" Huang Fei said with a smile, squinting his eyes. "Since you've talked so much, I'll go buy you a bottle of water. Wait for me here." Without waiting for her response, Huang Fei ran off to the supermarket in the distance.
Upon seeing the lewd man attempting to push his way forward, Yu Ruoling was so frightened that she quickly clasped her hands to her chest and then began to scream hysterically at the top of her lungs
***
Yu Ruoling looked around at her surroundings in solitude. There were many dark alleys on all sides, and a gust of cold wind blew by, sending chills down one's spine. Although the weather was fine today, it still gave off a sense of chilliness.
Indeed, the warmth and coldness of human relationships, the harshness of the world
After the strong man left, the young handsome guy turned around to look at Yu Ruoling and said: "Little girl, if you are sensible, hand over the valuable items on you. I am a civilized person, so don't make me do something unpleasant."
"What letter? I didn't see anything. Anyway, I'm here to tell you that you can't just leave without my permission," Huang Fei said deliberately playing the fool. It doesn't matter to her; after all, she didn't see me read that letter.
The young handsome man no longer paid attention to him, turned to look at Yu Ruoling, and coldly said: "Little girl, it won't do you any good to keep calling. Be obedient and listen. Although I am a civilized person, as you can see, my subordinates are not civilized. If you keep calling, I won't be polite."
The lewd man furrowed his brows, scratching his head as he said, "I am sorry, boss, I was wrong again"
Huang Fei! Save me...
Yu Ruoling's desperate shout was indeed earth-shattering and deafening
***
Huang Fei hurried over to help her up, but the elderly person, due to frailty, cried out in pain as soon as he was supporting her
I... I have no money on me. I beg you, let me go! I have nothing left. " Yu Ruoling's face was filled with terror and unease, her body trembling slightly, and she was on the verge of tears.
I never expected my fate to be so bitter. Why must it be this way for me
As soon as the two entered the living room, the family saw Huang Fei pulling Yu Ruoling outside, not knowing what was happening. Ling's mother asked, "Where are you going?"
This person named Qiangzi has a body full of muscle, stands about 1.8 meters tall, and looks just like a tank
"How did you end up here?" Yu Ruoling took a while to react.
Bang
Ah! Quite stubborn, aren't you!" the lewd man shouted angrily. "I'll strip you of your clothes and see if you know what's good for you.
Yu Ruoling could not help but wrap her arms around herself and looked up at the distance: "Why hasn't that man returned yet?"
What do you want to do?" Yu Ruoling asked
I clearly gave the letter to Sister Wang! Yu Ruoling said with grievance, although she did not know whether this man was real or not, it was truly wonderful to see him again
Let go of that girl
"What a strange man," Yu Ruoling murmured in complaint. However, seeing how much Huang Fei cared for her filled her heart with a small sense of satisfaction
All of this is true, this man who is grateful to himself has found his way to my home. Why have you come? I have been avoiding you, why do you still come?
"Let's go, let's take a walk outside," said Huang Fei as he pulled Yu Ruoling out the door, regardless of whether she agreed or not. Yu Ruoling was currently in a state of self-isolation; she would not respond unless someone took the initiative.
Suddenly, a pair of hands reached out from behind and covered her mouth, dragging her into the alley
The two individuals stepped out, with Huang Fei pulling Yu Ruoling along a small path
Suddenly, the sound of a man shouting broke the silence of this place
"Boss, I was wrong," the lewd man said, covering his head. "Don't hit my head again, or I'll become stupid." He seemed very afraid of the handsome guy hitting his head, looking at him with a mournful face and a silly grin.
Hurry up and be quiet
Yu Ruoling was suddenly pushed against the wall by someone, and three men leered at her with lewd laughter, their faces contorted like those of three ferocious wolves.
"Damn, if you're so smart, do I still need to struggle?" The young handsome man raised his fist, pretending to strike, which frightened the lewd man into covering his head again. Only then did the handsome man relent and turned to another man, saying: "Qiangzi, go keep watch, don't let anyone cause trouble."
"Elderly person, are you alright?" Huang Fei said with concern while slowly helping her. "Come, let me help you sit on the steps to rest for a while. Where are your family members?" He took a piece of cardboard from beside the supermarket and laid it on the steps, then gently assisted the elderly woman to sit down.
"Damn it," the lewd man glared at Yu Ruoling and cursed. "Boss, why not just deal with this little girl right here? She's a beauty and quite spicy too." After saying this, he licked his lips with a wicked grin.
Huang Fei smiled as he looked at Yu Ruoling, who was standing at the door in a daze. In just two days of not seeing each other, her spirits had improved significantly, showing much less of the melancholy she had during their first meeting. This is a commendable progress, but further improvement is still needed
I see. Huang Fei supported her arm and sat with her at the entrance of the supermarket, disregarding the strange looks from passersby, and gently said: "Elderly lady, why aren't you enjoying your peace at home, but instead have come to this busy and complicated street? It's so dangerous here!"
Some people believe that giving more to their parents is sufficient, but sometimes it is not enough to simply provide them with money to spend. They are already old and what they need is not material enjoyment, but rather emotional fulfillment. What they truly desire is for their children to talk to them, to share about their work and their lives; even the most trivial matters can bring them spiritual satisfaction.
What happened? Seeing me made you so happy that you can't speak," Huang Fei said with a smile
