Chapter 29 Orphanage

"Hold on tight."

Wen Nianchu did not wait for Xie Yue's answer.

After Xie Yue was silent for a moment, he confirmed in his peripheral vision that Wen Nianchu had put on his helmet, and then he just said these two words lightly.

The wheels rolled over the road, bringing with them a slight breeze.

Wen Nianchu did not reach out to grab Xie Yue's clothes, but consciously kept a certain distance from him.

First, she glanced at the material on Xie Yue's body. She didn't want to touch the clothes with such rough texture. It would be troublesome if it hurt her hands.

Secondly, although she kept saying that she wanted to support him, they were not actually that familiar with each other.

"The location she gave you might be fake."

Xie Yue's voice fell into Wen Nianchu's ears.

As a bystander throughout the process, he naturally has his own unique thoughts.

"You don't have to go this far. Being undercover is tough. You're just a student."

Xie Yue continued to persuade.

"Aren't you a recent graduate? If you can do it, why can't I?"

Who are you looking down on?

Wen Nianchu retorted.

Xie Yue was silent, then answered her calmly:

"I don't have money, but you have money."

"You did it for money? Then why didn't you just finish your work, collect your salary, and run away?"

Xie Yue remained silent in response to Wen Nianchu's questioning, but his grip on the handlebars involuntarily tightened a little.

Xie Yue's motorcycle was driven with a steady demeanor, similar to the way he felt as a person: neither frivolous nor impetuous, but with a sense of sedation. But Wen Nianchu was different. She had experienced speeds much faster than this many times in racing competitions.

She always enjoys all the fresh excitement.

Xie Yue's speed was like driving a toy car.

So, after she finished teasing the wood, she moved closer, stretched out a finger and gently poked his back, with a mischievous smile in her voice as she spoke, deliberately wanting to see the reaction of this rigid man.

"I say, you're not... worried about me, are you?"

"Are you worried that it's unsafe for me to walk at night? So you specially rode your motorcycle to give me a ride, right?"

"Are you interested in me...hmm?"

The motorcycle suddenly accelerated and then decelerated, and she was caught off guard and bumped into his back.

In fact, she was not seriously injured, after all, she was protected by a helmet. It was just that when Xie Yue in front of her was hit hard by her helmet, she heard a heavy groan suddenly come from his throat.

It must have hurt.

Can't she be blamed for this?

“Tsk.”

Wen Nianchu gently patted the place where she had just bumped into him, and said to Xie Yue earnestly:

"Don't get excited."

"I just want to say that if you like me, you don't need to feel inferior."

"Because I like myself, too."

Xie Yue turned half of his face to the side, the light from the street lamp outlined his sharp jawline, his eyes were dark and no emotion could be seen.

Of course he knew Wen Nianchu was joking.

like?

What does it mean to like someone?

"...Don't move." He was pondering this when he could clearly feel the warmth of her pat on his back. So, he collected his chaotic thoughts and said in a low, hoarse voice, "Don't blame me if you fall, young lady."

Wen Nianchu smacked his lips.

Appropriate jokes can bring people closer together, but if they go too far and become a cold joke, and irritate others, the situation will not be so optimistic.

Xie Yue looked at him and it really didn't look like he could take a joke.

Seeing that Wen Nianchu didn't say anything, Xie Yue began to explain, answering the topic of "reaching this point" that Wen Nianchu had mentioned earlier.

Xie Yue said solemnly: "I used to live in an orphanage... That informant donated clothes to me. That's why I wanted to help him."

When he was a child, his hearing was not very good, and he was always a beat behind when hearing people speak.

Because of this, the adults who come to the orphanage to adopt children always just glance at them and end up taking away the lively and clever children.

The corners of the Rongcheng Orphanage were damp year-round, drafty in the winter and stifling in the summer. The children left behind were either lame or stuttering, or like him—

You have to wait three times for someone to call you before you can respond.

But fortunately, we have Dean Wu.

The always cheerful old man would squat down and look him straight in the eye and speak slowly, and would hold his sweaty little hand and go to various hospitals.

This informant was actually a child from an orphanage, several years older than him, who would donate all the unwanted clothes from his new home to the orphanage.

Many of his old clothes belonged to him.

"The informant?"

At this point, Wen Nianchu thought of the bloody man in the video. She widened her eyes slightly, and finally understood why Xie Yue took the initiative to take this job. "So, just because someone donated a few pieces of clothes to you, you agreed to do this kind of undercover work? Xie Yue, why are you so..."

A few pieces of clothing were worth his life.

How does this look like a villain?

However, she doesn't seem like a vicious female supporting character.

So, the word "stupid" was swallowed back in her throat, and Wen Nianchu urgently thought of a better word to replace it.

"silly."

Xie Yue: "Hmm?"

Although they had some kind of unclear relationship verbally, in fact they were not particularly familiar with each other.

This was also the first time that Xie Yue took the initiative to mention some of his past.

*

When turning a corner, a car suddenly blocked the middle of the road, blocking the intersection.

The car was surrounded by men with tattoos on their arms and colorful hair. They were either holding machetes or swinging steel pipes, and their eyes were so fierce that they looked like they wanted to eat people.

When someone came, the dazzling headlights of the car shone directly at them.

The bright headlights hurt my eyes.

Wen Nianchu raised his hand to block the dazzling traffic light and clicked his tongue speechlessly.

"Don't people need sleep these days?"

Could it be that it was someone sent by Bai Yi Qiu again, waiting for her to be killed?

Are you annoying?

Xie Yue supported himself on one foot to steady the car, turned his head and raised the corner of his mouth when he heard the words. He actually echoed Wen Nianchu and said:

"Maybe the overtime pay is high enough."

"Stop! Robbery!" The yellow-haired leader waved a baseball bat, his face arrogant, "Hand over everything valuable!"

They are notorious thugs in this area who specifically target lonely passers-by in the middle of the night.

I originally thought I wouldn't gain anything tonight, but then I saw a motorcycle coming from a distance. There was a man and a woman sitting on the motorcycle. Judging from their clothes, they looked like a young couple out on a date.

Huangmao was happy.

It’s best to grab this young couple who are dating in the middle of the night!

In order to appear heroic in front of their girlfriends, men often dare not resist, and women are so scared that they can only scream.

What's more, people who go out on dates will carry some cash with them. If they are lucky, they can get branded mobile phones, wallets, or even jewelry and sell them for some money.

"Boss, you're lucky today!"

The younger brother next to him blew his white mouth hair, grinned, and revealed a few yellow teeth.

The yellow-haired man proudly swung the baseball bat and stared at Xie Yue and Wen Nianchu greedily, as if they had become fish on the chopping board.
