Chapter 331 Escape Plan (11) - Hero Saves the Beauty

Ning Shu asked Zai Fumeng to find a seat first, while she waited in line.

Suddenly another person came up beside her, and Ning Shu moved to the side, her eyes fixed on the pot in the boss's hand.

"Boss, a bowl of beef brisket noodles."

Huh, that sound… Ning Shu looked up.

Good heavens, the missing person has returned—Si Zhong is back!

Today he was dressed casually, and the gray and white striped shirt made him look more scholarly.

With a handsome face and a clothes hanger-like figure, he looks good in anything.

She was stunned for a while before realizing that she had been staring at the other person for a while and almost gave herself away.

At this moment, she shouldn't know Si Zhong at all.

She realized that she had been watching him for a long time, and if she didn't have a legitimate reason, Si Zhong might notice something was amiss.

At this moment, Ning Shu took advantage of her attraction to good looks, and even though she had turned her head away, she pretended to "steal glances" at the other person from time to time.

Si Zhong finally had some free time to come back. After finding Ning Shu, he was still struggling with how to "get to know" Ning Shu again.

Unexpectedly, he discovered that the other person had been staring at him the whole time.

He wondered if she still remembered him, and just as he was thinking about it, he noticed that she was now secretly glancing at him.

What... is going on?

Finally, he couldn't hold back and spoke directly, his tone cool: "What is it?"

Ning Shu breathed a sigh of relief when he finally noticed her "sneaking around":

"N-nothing, I didn't mean anything by it, I just think you're good-looking."

After speaking, he lowered his head, looking embarrassed as if he had been discovered.

Even though you clearly remember the other person, you insist on pretending it's the first time you've met.

She felt her acting was absolutely superb, and that the Oscars owed her a golden statuette!

Considering Ning Shu's tendency to take a second look at anyone attractive, he realized he was overthinking it.

Ning Shu was still reflecting on herself; she had been living too comfortably lately and had forgotten to wear her glasses.

After all, she doesn't need glasses, so it's normal that she doesn't like wearing them.

I never expected that just this one time I was lazy, Si Zhong would find out about it so quietly, without me even noticing.

Now I dare not wear glasses in front of Si Zhong, for fear that he will notice something.

Ning Shu thought to herself that Si Zhong was also a master of acting; he clearly remembered her, but pretended to be so aloof.

Every encounter after their resurrection was like this. With such good acting skills, why don't they compete for an Oscar?

At this moment, the stall owner finished preparing Ning Shu's soup noodles: "Little girl, here are your two bowls of soup noodles."

Ning Shu quickly took one of the bowls: "I'll carry them over one by one, thank you boss."

After saying that, she carried a bowl of noodles to where Zaifu Meng was, put it down, and then turned back to pick up another bowl.

Although Si Zhong didn't turn around, he was listening to her every move, and he was really feeling uncomfortable.

He suddenly regretted his loose tongue. If he hadn't said that, he might have struck up a conversation and they might have already "met".

He should slap himself twice for talking so much! This was all Si Zhong could think about.

Ning Shu didn't come back after taking the second bowl of noodles. It was Si Zhong's turn to take the noodles. He held the bowl and looked around.

Seeing that there was an empty seat next to Ning Shu, he was delighted and casually walked over and sat down next to her.

Ning Shu was surprised that Si Zhong came right to her side, and exclaimed in her heart: He's so brave!

The last time they met was in a dungeon, but this time the other party came to their door.

She quickly realized that this behavior was very much in line with Si Zhong's personality. He either didn't show up at all, or when he did, he loved to make his presence known. She had to get used to it.

After Si Zhong sat down, Zai Fu Meng soon noticed him as well.

She poked Ning Shu's arm with her little finger and whispered, "Sister, look how handsome the boy next to you is! He's even more handsome than my brother!"

Are you praising him, or your brother? Ning Shu found it amusing.

Ning Shu chimed in, "He is very handsome. He was standing right next to me just now, and I took a second look at him."

Zaifu Meng looked like he couldn't stand to be at a disadvantage: "Then I'll take a closer look too."

Ning Shu stopped him, saying, "Keep a low profile. If you get beaten up later, I won't be able to help you."

Zai Fumeng's eyes widened: "No way, he's so handsome, he wouldn't do something like that, would he?"

Haha, he could actually do something like that. When he's in a bad mood, he might stab people. She was stabbed once, you know!

Ning Shu didn't explain much, only telling Zai Fumeng to take it easy. While the two were eating noodles, they would occasionally steal glances at Si Zhong.

Si Zhong, who was sitting to the side, was quite pleased with their conversation, and he couldn't suppress the smile on his face.

Who doesn't like to be praised, especially by someone they like?

After finishing his noodles, Si Zhong watched Ning Shu and the others leave and followed them.

I was thinking about doing what I did last time and running a dungeon with Ning Shu in tow, when I heard a commotion ahead.

He pushed through the crowd and saw that it was a group of thugs who had surrounded Ning Shu and the others. They seemed to be trying to take advantage of the girls, and their words were lewd and vulgar.

Ning Shu stood in front of Zai Fu Meng, protecting him: "What do you want to do? Trying to cause trouble in broad daylight?"

One of the thugs saw Ning Shu and said, "Hey, this chick is pretty good too, let's take her with us."

They originally intended to take Zaifu Meng away since she was alone, but then another girl suddenly appeared from the side, so they decided to take her along as well.

Ning Shu was speechless. She had just parted ways with Xiao Meng to buy some things and was about to go back when she ran into this group of hooligans.

Hearing them say they wanted to take her away, she couldn't help but sneer. They probably didn't know how they were going to die.

Just as she was about to make a move, a figure blocked her way. Upon closer inspection, she saw it was Si Zhong.

He actually stood right in front of them and said to the group of thugs, "Get lost if you don't want to die."

His tone was calm but extremely threatening.

The thugs sized up Si Zhong. His face was unfamiliar, and he wasn't carrying any weapons. They figured he was just a young man trying to be a hero.

One of them said dismissively, "Dude, mind your own business. If you like these two women too, I won't hesitate to let you join us..."

Before he could finish speaking, Si Zhong had already thrown a punch.

The other person fell to the ground with a thud. Si Zhong felt that they were too foul-mouthed and lacked manners.

He beat several thugs to the ground without even drawing his knife.

In fact, with his skills, he could easily twist someone's head off with his bare hands.

However, he felt it wasn't appropriate to make the scene so bloody on their first meeting.

In the end, they just taught those hooligans a lesson and that was it.

Ning Shu also felt that Si Zhong was much more restrained this time, given his usual style, and wondered why Si Zhong had suddenly become so "gentle".

The thug, his face bruised and swollen from the beating, pointed at Si Zhong and shouted as they left, "You just wait, I'll deal with you later!"
