Two girls, one tall and slender, the other petite.

The petite girl met his gaze, gasped in surprise, and grabbed the tall girl's hand to leave.

"Go quickly, Ningning." Avoid him like the plague.

The boy was sitting against the gray brick wall of the alley, one long leg stretched out casually, the other bent.

One hand rested on his knee, and blood was still dripping from that hand.

The boy also had bloodstains on his face, his hair was very long, making it impossible to see his features, and his eyes were sinister, exuding a cold and mad aura that kept strangers at bay.

The petite girl is Su Zhihan.

Su Zhihan had heard that a particularly famous snack shop had opened nearby, selling wheel cakes, egg waffles, takoyaki, and other snacks that were far superior to some chain stores. That's why, after starting her hobby class, she dragged Jiang Wanning here to find some delicious food.

Unexpectedly, they encountered a thug.

The boy was tall and thin, his face was obscured, and his eyes were terrifying. He was good-looking, but I really couldn't handle him.

She pulled Jiang Wanning, wanting her to leave quickly.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Wanning seemed to be bewitched and stopped in her tracks.

She tilted her head slightly, her gaze towards the boy filled with a hint of inquiry. Those eyes, those eyebrows, looked so familiar.

She spoke, her voice soft and reassuring: "Don't be afraid, Hanhan, I'll go for a bit."

"Hey, what are you doing?"

Su Zhihan stomped her foot in anger and quickly took out her phone, already entering the numbers 110.

If this thug dares to do anything to Jiang Wanning, she will immediately call the police.

"I've already prepared the call to the police," Su Zhihan shouted deliberately, as a warning.

The boy merely lifted his eyelids indifferently, a mocking smile playing on his lips, and scoffed.

The pair of white sneakers stopped in front of him, and a hand reached out, offering him a fragrant tissue.

"Doesn't it hurt? Do you need to go to the hospital? Let me rub it on you. Here's a box of these pills for you."

After Jiang Wanning finished speaking, she handed the items over, but the other person didn't take them, so she put the bag down as well.

The boy didn't look at her; his eyes were lowered, and it was unclear what he was thinking.

He noticed her hand out of the corner of his eye, and his expression suddenly changed as he grabbed her hand.

Jiang Wanning was startled. The boy's hand was covered in blood, and her fair wrist was stained with the blood, as if a piece of white paper had been stained.

The boy saw her right hand clearly; there was a scar on the web of her right hand, shaped like a crescent moon.

He recognized her, but she didn't recognize him, and she didn't call him brother.

The boy raised the corners of his lips, his smile somewhat mischievous: "Not calling me brother anymore?"

"What are you doing?!"

Suddenly, someone grabbed her hand and said something teasing. The girl, who was just over twelve years old, blushed, broke free, and ran towards Su Zhihan.

Su Zhihan stepped forward and took her hand, and the two immediately ran like madmen. They only breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that the other party was not chasing them.

Su Zhihan glanced back and saw the boy stand up. He was very tall, but he didn't stand properly. He leaned lazily against the wall, crossed his arms, and looked at them with burning eyes.

"Oh my god, Ningning, are you being targeted? Why is this person like this? Do you two know each other?"

Jiang Wanning shook her head.

Su Zhihan patted her chest: "I was really scared. How could you know such a hoodlum? Hey, Ningning, this is really not like you. Why did you go up to him? Don't you even know if he's a good person or a bad one? Have you been reading too many teen romance novels? Sweet and innocent girl versus rebellious and obsessive boy, the sweet and innocent girl trying to save the crazy boy with good intentions? No, no, no, novels are novels, reality is reality. In reality, if you encounter a boy like that, stay as far away as possible. As the saying goes, it's easier to change mountains and rivers than to change a person's nature. Don't try to save anyone or change anyone. Only if he wants to change can he change."

Jiang Wanning rolled her eyes at her: "It's clearly you who likes reading these novels. But today, I'm not like myself at all. I don't know what's wrong with me. It's like I've seen a ghost or been possessed. I can't help but want to get closer."

Something seemed to flash through my mind: a slightly childish voice calling for its brother.

With a slight headache, Jiang Wanning stopped torturing herself and didn't continue thinking about it.

Afterwards, Su Zhihan was very worried about Jiang Wanning for several days, but when nothing happened, she put the incident out of her mind.

Su Zhihan's life was so exciting, and she had so many things she wanted to do, so naturally she stopped paying attention to this matter.

Jiang Wanning never encountered that boy again.

She never went back to that place.

Later, for a while, she always felt that someone was watching her, but when she looked back, she found nothing.

This strange feeling lasted for at least six months.

Looking at the house that had mostly collapsed, Jiang Wanning took Fu Chenyuan's hand and asked, "You used to live here?"

“Yes. Scarface locked me up here. When we didn’t need money, he chained me up with two chains, but when we did, he took us out and made us beg and steal.”

Hearing this, Jiang Wanning felt a pang of pain in her heart and her fists hardened.

In just a few words, one can imagine the inhumane treatment Fu Chenyuan had suffered.

"Was the injury on your back inflicted by him?"

“Besides Scarface, there are other people.”

Jiang Wanning's hand touched Fu Chenyuan's back through his clothes.

Fu Chenyuan knew what she was going to do, but seeing her red eyes, he felt heartache and regret.

He didn't intend to play the victim; he just wanted Jiang Wanning to treat him more kindly.

After Jiang Wanning learns all this, will she be able to love him more?
