Chapter 9 Chapter 9 A hero saves the beauty?

The scorching heat near noon seemed to make everything become scorched.

Behind him was Li Zhou's resentful look with a hint of jealousy, and in front of him was the protagonist's hoarse question about what he was trying to restrain.

The gaze that seemed to be real was moving over Su Yuan, and Su Yuan's heartbeat accelerated for a few moments, feeling a little uncomfortable.

As the protagonist, Yan Zhou has an extremely superior appearance. Su Yuan's brain went blank for a moment because of this question. When he looked at Yan Zhou, he could clearly see Yan Zhou's smooth and sharp jawline from this perspective.

Su Yuan didn't understand why Yan Zhou's focus was here.

He originally wanted to say something to Li Zhou.

Su Yuan's eyelashes fluttered as he thought he was deliberately trying to scam someone. He felt as if he was caught doing something bad by his parents, and shame and guilt spread instinctively in his heart.

In most cases, the strongest feeling of helplessness is not because the person who did the bad thing realized that he was wrong, but because he was discovered and exposed in public.

This is how Su Yuan feels now. Even though he did something bad on purpose, he still can't help feeling uncomfortable when he needs to repeat it.

Under Yan Zhou's gaze, which seemed to be suppressing some emotion, no matter how hard Su Yuan tried to pretend to be calm, he couldn't replicate the unreasonable and confident feeling he had when facing Li Zhou before.

While Su Yuan was talking nonsense, he didn't dare to look Yan Zhou in the eye.

——He just bumped into me, and I wanted him to be more careful when walking.

It was only after Su Yuan finished talking nonsense that he looked at Yan Zhou's expression cautiously.

Yan Zhou, who had been looking at Su Yuan, said "hmm" and nodded slightly.

The arc of suppression at this moment made Su Yuan panic for a moment. Although Yan Zhou responded to him, the simpler the response, the more likely it was that something was suppressed. Su Yuan felt that the protagonist did not really believe what he said, and was a little angry.

Su Yuan didn't know what Yan Zhou was thinking. He was just driven by instinct and gently grabbed the hem of Yan Zhou's clothes again with a bit of weakness.

Yan Zhou really didn't believe what Su Yuan said.

Su Yuan suddenly attacked Li Zhou on a whim, and this happened when Yan Zhou was completely unprepared. Yan Zhou did not have time to see clearly what Su Yuan said to Li Zhou at the beginning, but no matter how he thought about it, it could not be the answer that Su Yuan had just given.

It was not only because Su Yuan couldn't help but show some unwilling panic under his oppression, but also because, with a good and gentle personality like Su Yuan, even if he was really hit by someone, he would not be able to take tough actions to seek justice immediately.

Yan Zhou was feeling a little annoyed. He didn't understand why Su Yuan had lied to him, nor did he know why Su Yuan had talked to Li Zhou.

Li Zhou's words came just when Yan Zhou was feeling depressed.

"Hey, you haven't told me what he wanted to say to me in the first place!" Li Zhou's tone was equally bad, as if he had swallowed a bomb.

When Li Zhou saw Su Yuan opening and closing his mouth in front of Yan Zhou, he felt so aggrieved that his eyes were almost bloodshot.

He was filled with remorse because of this extremely glaring scene. He couldn't help but think about whether he should apologize to Su Yuan and discuss with Su Yuan not to replace the person, but he was immediately awakened by Yan Zhou's words.

Yan Zhou's question just now made Su Yuan stunned, and also made Li Zhou slowly figure out the specific situation of the matter.

Only then did Li Zhou realize that Su Yuan had just said something to him silently.

Yan Zhou was not a new person found by Su Yuan. Yan Zhou could understand Su Yuan's lip reading, and it seemed that the two of them knew each other.

Li Zhou couldn't tell how he felt after he found out. He felt a little embarrassed, a little ashamed, a little annoyed, and a little -

Lost.

When Li Zhou saw Su Yuan's hand grabbing Yan Zhou's clothes again, he felt a little uneasy in his heart, and for some unknown reason he spoke up to interrupt the interaction between Su Yuan and Yan Zhou.

Li Zhou's eyes fell on Su Yuan uncontrollably, and he coughed uncomfortably when he realized how offensive and abrupt his words were.

"It seems that I misunderstood just now. I'm sorry."

Li Zhou seemed to rarely apologize. When he spoke to Su Yuan like this, not only were the muscles at the corners of his mouth pulled a little stiff, but his cheeks were also a little red from the red hair.

Su Yuan blinked and hummed silently as if he didn't expect it.

Su Yuan finally breathed a sigh of relief that the misunderstanding was cleared up, but his eyelashes trembled unnaturally.

Even though he was trying to turn the tables and cause trouble for Li Zhou, Li Zhou actually apologized to him.

Su Yuan felt a little sorry for the other person, so when he slowly shook his head towards Li Zhou, his hand that was pinching Yan Zhou's clothes tightened unconsciously.

However, this tiny movement seemed to be noticed by Yan Zhou and annoyed him.

The man who had just completely ignored Li Zhou suddenly spoke up, his voice sounding a little cold and hard, "He said you just bumped into him, and asked you to be more careful when you walk next time."

These words made Su Yuan, who thought the matter was over, stunned for a moment.

Putting aside the protagonist's words, they seemed somewhat inappropriate after Li Zhou had already realized the misunderstanding and apologized.

Not sure if it was Su Yuan's illusion, but Su Yuan felt that Yan Zhou was not answering Li Zhou's previous questions normally. Even though he was a little slow in emotions, he heard a warning and -

A subtle provocation.

Su Yuan looked at Yan Zhou blankly, not understanding the protagonist's sudden action of adding fuel to the fire.

Li Zhou behind him instantly raised his eyebrows and the corners of his mouth straightened into a straight line.

Su Yuan could feel that Li Zhou was annoyed by the protagonist's words. When he noticed that Li Zhou's eyes met Yan Zhou's with a slightly gloomy look, Su Yuan was made uneasy by the tense atmosphere brewing in the air.

Fortunately, when Su Yuan felt that the surroundings were becoming increasingly strange, Yan Zhou seemed unwilling to get entangled with Li Zhou. He had already grabbed Su Yuan's hand and was ready to leave.

Su Yuan obediently followed Yan Zhou and stayed away from Li Zhou.

Su Yuan frowned and was about to escape from this unknown strange atmosphere when he unexpectedly heard Li Zhou's voice again.

Given the character Li Zhou showed in the plot, Su Yuan shouldn't have been surprised by Li Zhou's behavior.

It is normal that Yan Zhou’s warning speech would cause Li Zhou’s dissatisfaction.

But——

Just like Yan Zhou's emphasis was wrong, Li Zhou seemed to have taken the wrong medicine.

Li Zhou was not angry because of Yan Zhou's bad tone, but in——

"You're lying. That's definitely not what he just told me."

Question the content of the words Yan Zhou relayed.

It was Su Yuan who had indeed said the provocative words: "?"

Her black eyelashes curved in a dazed arc, and Su Yuan was almost stupefied by this series of strange developments.

When he looked at Li Zhou in surprise, Li Zhou was silently confronting Yan Zhou who had stopped.

Li Zhou narrowed his eyes and looked at Yan Zhou. His flamboyant red hair made him look difficult to get along with.

Li Zhou knew very well that he would not bump into Su Yuan on his own initiative. It was not because he was polite, but because of a certain condescending mentality in his heart that made him disgusted with contact with other people.

When he walks, he deliberately avoids people around him.

The physical contact between him and Su Yuan was definitely not initiated by him.

Li Zhou knew that Su Yuan had approached him on purpose, and the lines at the corners of his mouth became straighter and straighter.

Under normal circumstances, if Li Zhou heard Su Yuan's words, he would definitely think that Su Yuan was deliberately trying to scam him. However, after experiencing the series of developments just now, Li Zhou's judgment also changed.

The harsh image that Su Yuan was supposed to maintain was destroyed by Li Zhou's shameful remarks at the very beginning. The subtle displeasure revealed by Yan Zhou made Su Yuan no longer want to put on a mask.

Just like Yan Zhou felt that Su Yuan couldn't say this, Li Zhou looked at Su Yuan now and didn't think that Su Yuan would deliberately cause trouble for him.

The moment his eyes moved to Su Yuan because of his thoughts, Li Zhou felt that he was poked by the other party's somewhat stunned reaction.

Well, the other party looks very innocent, how could he possibly slander him.

The moment Li Zhou's eyes were fixed on Yan Zhou again, his expression became increasingly solemn.

Moreover, Su Yuan and Yan Zhou's reactions were a bit strange.

If Su Yuan was really unhappy about being "bumped into by him", why didn't he feel more justified when talking to Yan Zhou because of the appearance of someone backing him up, but instead felt a little guilty and at a loss.

Although Yan Zhou showed hostility towards him, he immediately wanted to take Su Yuan away from him, and even acted as if he was secretly annoyed and didn't want Su Yuan to have any contact with him at all.

The more Li Zhou thought about it, the more he felt that Yan Zhou was lying to him, and the look he gave Yan Zhou became increasingly unfriendly.

This thought became even stronger after Li Zhou saw Yan Zhou's increasingly gloomy expression.

Su Yuan felt that the atmosphere was becoming increasingly strange, but Yan Zhou seemed completely unprepared to explain and just stared at Li Zhou with a cold gaze.

Su Yuan didn't want Yan Zhou to take the blame for him, so he had to explain for Yan Zhou.

He pointed at Yan Zhou's mouth and nodded, indicating that what Yan Zhou said was true and that was what he had just asked him to repeat.

When Li Zhou saw this, there was a hint of surprise in his eyes.

He looked around at Yan Zhou and Su Yuan suspiciously, and suddenly something clicked for him.

How could Su Yuan say such things to him?

Even if Su Yuan admitted it, it could only be because he had no choice.

It's just that I have no choice.

Li Zhou finally figured out what the situation was.

His eyes fell on Su Yuan, who was wrapped tightly, and his gaze kept changing.

How could a normal person be so covered up that he was unwilling to show even a little bit of his face? It was obvious that he was forced by Yan Zhou who was following Su Yuan.

Thinking of those kissable lips and flawless snow-white skin, Li Zhou could no longer have any romantic thoughts.

Based on the fact that the other person is forced not to even show her face to others, it is very likely that she is controlled and imprisoned by the man next to her because of her outstanding appearance.

Maybe the other person has become mute and the man doesn't want him to ask for help.

Li Zhou was angry, but annoyance flashed across his face.

So the other party did bump into him on purpose just now, with the intention of asking him for help.

But he let the other party down in his last-ditch attempt and failed to read his lip language and distress signal.

Therefore, the other party, knowing that he could not escape by relying on him, would act a little flustered after Yan Zhou saw and asked about it, and made up a lame lie to cover up the truth.

Li Zhou, who felt that he had seen the truth and that his logic was self-consistent, hurriedly said to Su Yuan in a gentle but heavy voice while confronting Yan Zhou, "Don't be afraid, I already know everything."

Su Yuan's eyelashes curled up in question: "?" What did Li Zhou know? How come he knew nothing?

Just when Su Yuan was somewhat confusedly recalling whether he was helping Yan Zhou to clarify things just now, Li Zhou's much colder voice reached his ears.

It was said to Yan Zhou.

"Heh, don't go. I see you're also a card master. Let's have a competition."

Su Yuan suddenly realized that his original goal had been achieved: "!"

Su Yuan's originally confused expression changed slightly because of this sudden fulfillment of his wish. While a hint of surprise subconsciously appeared in his eyes, he still kept looking at Li Zhou.

Li Zhou caught this emotion instantly. Looking at Su Yuan's sparkling eyes, his heart skipped a beat.

His ears, covered by his red hair, were a little red.

Yes, yes, you were moved by his heroic act of saving the beauty.

Li Zhou adjusted his posture without making any noise. While he was trying to make himself look more chivalrous, his mind was still wandering.

Definitely.

After all, the fact that the other party chose him for help already meant that—

With his ears full of diamonds, Li Zhou confidently strikes a handsome pose.

He is very reliable in the other party's eyes.
