Chapter 23 The Little Mute Fights!

Half an hour later, Su Pu and Ouyang clocked out. Su Pu made three cups of coffee and placed them on a table in the corner of the shop.

"Little Helmet" had taken off his helmet, revealing neat chestnut-brown short hair and skin so white it was almost transparent.

"Thank you, thank you all for last night."

He scratched his neck and stammered.

Ouyang waved his hand, "It's nothing, upholding justice is indeed my style... But can you tell me what exactly happened last night?"

The little helmet glanced at him in surprise, then lowered its head and sighed softly.

Why do we keep making him talk?

He wanted to go home.

Su Pu typed it out and showed it to him.

We got drunk last night, can you tell us what happened?

"Little Helmet" continued scratching his neck, his fair skin turning noticeably red, which looked rather eerie.

Ouyang stopped him, "Hey, you're all red... I haven't asked you yet, what's your name?"

"Little Helmet" lowered his head and spoke after a long while.

Pei Zhicheng.

“Oh, Pei Zhicheng, that sounds nice…” Ouyang smiled, stretched out a hand towards him, and waved it in the air.

"My name is Ouyang, and his name is Su Pu. I'm studying at University A, and he's already graduated. What about you?"

Pei Zhicheng had just put down the hand that was scratching his neck when he heard this, he picked it up again and was about to start messing with that patch of skin again.

Ouyang figured it out; this person probably had some kind of obsessive-compulsive disorder.

He has a roommate who does this; when he's stressed, he washes his hands constantly, and during the two weeks leading up to final exams, he washes his hands so much that the skin peels off.

"Alright, stop talking. Just tell us what happened last night," Ouyang Yuxin said, unable to bear it. "Don't scratch my neck."

"oh……"

Pei Zhicheng took several breaths before finally opening his mouth.

"Last night I was harassed by a group of thugs who insisted that I go with them, and then, you appeared."

Pei Zhicheng glanced at Ouyang quickly.

“You kicked one of them to the ground, and then they tried to lift you up, so you shielded me behind you… and told me to run…”

As Ouyang listened, he recalled the scene, and it seemed that he did indeed have such a fragment in his mind.

"And then what?" he asked.

“Then, they lifted you up, lifted you up…” Pei Zhicheng said.

"Huh??" Ouyang was embarrassed. "Didn't I fight back?"

Pei Zhicheng shook his head quickly.

"You got punched twice in the stomach."

Ouyang muttered to himself, "I knew it, my stomach hurt so much this morning..."

"And then what happened? Were you beaten up by them too?"

Pei Zhicheng shook his head again, "No, no."

He glanced at Su Pu, "Later, you and your boyfriend... appeared."

Su Pu was full of questions.

【Boy friend? 】

"Yeah, you sat on his lap, on his lap, and the two of you came out in wheelchairs..."

"..."

Su Pu and Ouyang fell silent for a moment.

They haven't come down yet...

It seems he sat all the way home...

That's quite convenient...

Su Pu was the first to react.

Did the person who was with me get beaten up?

Pei Zhicheng shook his head in denial.

"He beat them up..."

Ouyang was the first to lose his composure, "Huh?"

"You mean a wheelchair user, 1v2, beat those two people?"

Pei Zhicheng nodded obediently: "Y-you can say that."

“One of them controlled you, and the other pulled you down, and then, her wrist was broken by her boyfriend.”

Ouyang's mind has been refreshed!

Pei Zhicheng continued.

"The remaining guy also went up to hit him, but Su Pu kicked him a few times. Su Pu also bit his hand, straddled him, and pulled his hair..."

Ouyang turned his head and looked at Su Pu, who was enjoying a peaceful and serene life.

Dude, you're such a fierce fighter?

Su Pu rubbed her chin. No wonder her mouth hurt today.

It was bitten.

No wonder Li Jichuan looked at him so strangely today; he was probably frightened by him.

Not to mention him, Su Pu was also surprised by his own fighting strength.

Perhaps he started to go crazy because he realized that someone wanted to hurt Li Jichuan.

"Anyway, that's how it is. The police arrived shortly afterward, and your driver also came, and then you left."

Ouyang and Su Pu have both come to a complete understanding, and both have gained a completely new perspective on the world and themselves.

"But how did you find us?" Ouyang couldn't understand.

Pei Zhicheng took out Ouyang's part-time job badge from his pocket, "You, you forgot this..."

"Oh, thank you," Ouyang said, clutching the employee badge to his palm as if it were a priceless treasure. "I thought I had lost it. It costs two hundred to get a replacement..."

Pei Zhicheng shook his head desperately.

"No, no, it should be thank you, thank you for helping me, for saving me, for saving me..."

Ouyang blushed, scratching his head with a silly grin, "What's wrong with that?"

Pei Zhicheng nodded vigorously.

"This is very important... My therapist wants me to do socialization training regularly, so that I will have the awareness to escape when faced with a crisis... When I was unable to protect myself, you gave me hope..."

Ouyang and Su Pu both fell silent at the same time.

Ouyang clenched his fists, holding back the tears that were about to spill from his eyes.

It turns out that he wasn't as useless as he thought.

Even when he was so drunk that he was unconscious and unable to resist, he would still stand up for strangers in distress.

If a person's lifelong pursuit is only fame and fortune, then that's too superficial, isn't it?

If given the choice, he would gladly be an ordinary but kind person who would stand up against injustice and cry his heart out when he is unhappy...

If you have a clear conscience and uphold justice, then your life has not been in vain.

Thinking of this, Ouyang's eyes reddened as she looked at Pei Zhicheng with gratitude.

"I also want to thank you."

A hint of confusion flashed in Pei Zhicheng's eyes.

Thank you for making me believe that every bit of enthusiasm and kindness I give will not be wasted.

This kindness will be returned to the giver in another way, at the most appropriate time.

Give him strength, and with unwavering courage, let him walk for a very, very long time...

...

On the other side, Su Pu's emotions were also in turmoil.

When faced with danger, the instinct to run away is, it turns out, human nature.

So what made him overcome this instinct and accept the danger that was coming his way?

He knew that many things in his heart needed an outlet.

He has to face it, he has to overcome it, in order to live a peaceful and ordinary life.

But it's so difficult...

A few days later, Su Pu and Ouyang set up a pop-up booth for their brand on the campus of University A.

The theme of this pop-up event was to help people learn about coffee.

In addition to the hand-drip coffee demonstration, there was also a workshop where people made scented candles using coffee grounds.

Both activities required a lot of time and patience. In the waiting period, Su Pu and Ouyang would distribute questionnaires made by Li Jichuan Company to the students participating in the activities.

Since they had nothing better to do, the students cooperated and diligently answered the questions.

The two instructors, one in charge of coffee instruction and the other of incense and candle instruction, greeted each other across two tables.

Su Pu made a gesture as if to invite Ouyang to dinner after the event.

Ouyang gave him an "OK" sign.

Su Pu smiled contentedly, looking down at the students diligently filling out the questionnaires.

After engaging in activities requiring high concentration, the human brain will be immersed in a state of focus for a short period of time, making answers more serious and sincere.

The results collected in this way are more authentic and much more heartfelt than those obtained through prize-winning quizzes or telephone interviews.

In addition to the pop-up booth at University A, Su Pu also contacted colleagues from other stores to help collect questionnaire answers.

Because they are the flagship store, the various branch stores also take their requests quite seriously, and the responses they submit are of high quality.

The afternoon sun shone brightly.

Su Pu's eyelashes were filled with light, and she looked as if she were being softened by the sunlight.

“Su-Pu-”

However, the voice echoing in his ears instantly dragged him into an ice cellar.

Su Pu opened his eyes and sluggishly turned his head.

Behind him stood Su Hui, who looked furious.

"Are you deliberately messing with me?"
