Chapter 13 Chapter 13 He is really hard to please

The sky gradually darkened and there were no street lights in the remote alleys.

There were a lot of messy junk and boxes piled up at the corner at the end of the street. Nguyen Chao and Gu Xingyan hid in the gap between the junk and the wall.

The gap was only a few dozen centimeters, pitifully small, so the two people had no choice but to lean against each other.

Close enough to hear each other's heartbeats.

Behind Nguyen Chao was a dirty, dusty wall, and next to it was a rat that had been dead for who knows how long.

The whole body of the mouse was dried up, leaving only a thin layer of skin, but its dark eyes were bulging out, and the surrounding area was still vaguely visible, the coagulated black bloodstains...

So dirty, so dirty, so scary, so disgusting...

Ruan Chao, who was filled with evil intentions, squeezed towards Gu Xingyan with all his might, almost throwing himself into his arms, for fear of being touched.

Gu Xingyan was afraid that he would fall, so he subconsciously held his waist.

The loose hem is pressed down and tightened, revealing a slender curve.

The strange touch made him stunned for a moment, and his whole body froze. At that moment, it seemed that even the blood circulation became sluggish, and the noise in his ears quickly disappeared, and the world became silent.

In contrast, his palms were getting hotter and hotter.

Gu Xingyan's pupils twitched, and his fixed gaze moved slowly.

The boy's fingertips were white from the tension and trembling slightly, and he tore his sleeves into a tangled mess.

His breathing frequency was also very irregular, and all the warm breath was sprinkled on Gu Xingyan's neck, causing a small ripple.

"Nguyen Dynasty..."

The sound was very soft, almost inaudible.

"Um?"

“………”

Suddenly, there were scattered footsteps coming from outside the alley.

"Go find them all, turn this film over and over, and I'll find them!" A hoarse male voice came from not far away. It was the yellow-haired guy whose face was covered with ice cream by Ruan Chao. "Damn it, they dare to play tricks on me, I'll teach them a lesson!"

"you……"

Gu Xingyan seemed to not understand the situation and started talking again.

Ruan Chao was shocked.

Afraid that those people might hear it, he immediately reached out and covered Gu Xingyan's mouth.

“Be quiet!!”

Huangmao searched the area thoroughly but found nothing. The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, and his whole body was almost flushed.

He rubbed the cream off his face, but the sticky feeling remained on his hair, reminding him of what he had just experienced.

"Where can two living people go? It's really fucking weird!"

He angrily kicked the pile of junk next to him to vent his anger, and the small pieces fell down with a crackling sound.

Gu Xingyan held Ruan Chao's head and protected him in his arms.

All those things fell on him.

We have everything.

Rotten foam, rusty iron basin, sharp wood.

Hearing the sound of something falling, Huangmao looked towards the pile of junk with some suspicion.

In the dim night, all you can see is a pile of shadows like a small hill.

But there seemed to be a gap behind the pile of broken furniture and boxes where someone could hide.

At this moment, all the miscellaneous brothers ran back empty-handed, each with a more dejected expression than the other, and it was obvious that they had not discovered anything.

The yellow-haired man made a gesture to keep quiet and pulled out the dagger.

The snow-white blade gleamed in the cold moonlight, and his ferocious expression flashed across it.

The yellow-haired man seemed to have already determined that the two people were hiding inside. He waved his hand to signal the others to surround them on both sides. He walked over quietly with a knife in hand.

The sound of footsteps echoed in the empty alley, sounding deep and eerie.

Ruan Chao held his breath.

He got off Gu Xingyan's body, then pried open the other's hands that were folded around his waist and picked up a rotten piece of wood from the side, intending to strike first when someone came over.

Gu Xingyan squeezed Ruan Chao's slightly trembling fingers, took the wood from him, and mouthed the words:

"Don't be afraid."

Ruan Chao was stunned for a moment, then reacted.

No...you stole my weapon, what can I use to hit people?

In desperation, Nguyen Chao could only pick up a plastic basin with a big hole in it.

The gang of thugs were getting closer and closer to them, and they would be discovered by just turning around.

The yellow-haired man had already kicked over two piles of garbage nearby. He was getting more and more irritable, swearing non-stop and saying he was going to cut a bloody hole in each of them...

Suddenly, a siren sounded in the distance, and the elongated tone quickly came closer.

Huangmao regained his sanity.

All of them have criminal records, with sentences ranging from as short as ten days to half a month to as long as half a year in prison.

It has a huge psychological shadow on the police.

Hearing the familiar voice, someone had already squatted in the corner with his hands on his head.

The yellow-haired man kicked everyone.

"The police haven't come yet, and you idiots are already scared. What are you doing squatting there, waiting to get caught? Why don't you run?!"

They ran away very fast.

The empty alley was silent again.

Nguyen Chao jumped out from behind the pile of debris.

I have been maintaining the same posture for a long time. Every part of my body is sore and painful, especially my calves. I can hardly feel their existence.

Ruan Chao didn't stand steadily and staggered.

Fortunately, Gu Xingyan next to him supported his arm in time and prevented him from falling to the ground.

"Oh, thank you..."

Saying thank you is a completely subconscious act, and I regret it as soon as I say it.

Ruan Chao pursed his lips, pushed Gu Xingyan's arm, and said in his usual disdainful tone, "You don't need to help me."

His fingers touched something that seemed wet and sticky.

In the dim moonlight, he saw the blood on his hands.

Ruan Chao's pupils shrank and his eyes widened instantly.

Nervous and at a loss.

How could it be blood?

He took out his cell phone in a panic, but because his hands were shaking so badly, he accidentally dropped the phone on the ground, breaking a small piece of the screen.

He squatted down, picked it up, turned on the flashlight, and shone it on Gu Xingyan's arm.

The glaring blood had soaked the clothes, condensed into blood drops, and fell down bit by bit.

Ruan Chao stretched out his hand, then withdrew it helplessly.

Dare not touch.

"I remember that yellow-haired guy's knife didn't cut you. How could this happen..."

Ruan Chao thought of something and stopped talking.

He thought of the things on the pile of debris, and when they were falling down with a crackling sound, it was Gu Xingyan who stretched out his arms to protect him.

So, was that when the injury occurred?

"A piece of broken glass fell from above and hit right here." Gu Xingyan's voice was very flat, without any ups and downs, as if he was not talking about his own business. He casually put down his arm, not wanting Ruan Chao to continue looking, "It's just a small cut, nothing serious."

Ruan Chao lowered his eyes and looked at the small patch of bright red blood at his feet. A drop of blood even splashed onto his shoe, blooming into a gorgeous little flower.

He pursed his lips and thought.

This is nothing? Then what is something?

Broken arms and legs?

Why do some people not care about their bodies?

It was the same last time and this time as well.

Can't he feel any pain?

Gu Xingyan walked forward for a distance and saw that Ruan Chao stopped where he was and did not catch up with him. He stopped, turned around to look at him, and asked with some confusion.

"Why don't you leave?"

"…Where are you going?"

"Take you home."

Ruan Chao: “…”

He refused in a dry tone: "No need for you to send me, I will call and ask the driver to pick me up."

Gu Xingyan nodded indifferently, but stopped where he was and didn't move. He just kept staring at Ruan Chao.

As if asking, why don’t you call yet?

Ruan Chao took a deep breath, as if all the suppressed emotions were dispersed with the long exhalation.

He took a step forward, grabbed Gu Xingyan's hand, and pulled him forward without looking back.

As soon as Gu Xingyan uttered a questioning syllable, Ruan Chao turned around and glared at him.

"Stop talking!"

Feeling the strength of the young man's palm, Gu Xingyan curled his fingers slightly. He did not resist, but held him obediently.

Ruan Chao took Gu Xingyan and found a small clinic that was open.

I plan to treat his injuries here.

The doctor took out a pair of medical scissors and tried to cut open his clothes.

Gu Xingyan unexpectedly stepped back.

The school uniform of Haicheng No. 1 Middle School is very expensive, costing more than two hundred yuan per set.

Gu Xingyan had to use all his monthly earnings to pay off his debts, and he had to be very careful with every penny, so he had no extra money to buy another school uniform.

Noticing the boy's attempt to dodge, Ruan Chao quickly held him down, preventing him from pulling his arm out.

"What are you hiding from?"

Facing the boy's eyes that were a mixture of worry and anxiety, Gu Xingyan's eyes flashed slightly, and those concerns suddenly became a little embarrassing, making him unable to speak.

He paused and whispered, "I can take off my clothes."

Ruan Chao: "Your wound is stuck to your clothes. Do you want to kill yourself by tearing them off now?"

"I can bear it."

Nguyen Chao knew that he couldn't communicate with him.

He placed both of his hands on Gu Xingyan's arm, looked at the doctor holding the scissors, and said directly: "Don't listen to him, just cut it."

The doctor hesitated for a moment, and seeing that Gu Xingyan didn't say anything in rebuttal, he picked up the scissors and smoothly cut a hole in the clothes.

Gu Xingyan's expression clearly didn't change, but for some reason, Ruan Chao saw a hint of grievance in it.

Gu Xingyan was injured because of him, and Ruan Chao couldn't bear to speak harshly to him again, so he softened his voice, and there was a hint of caution in his tone.

"What's wrong with you? Is it painful?"

Gu Xingyan glanced at him, then quickly looked away, shaking his head to indicate that he was not in pain.

Ruan Chao caught a glimpse of Gu Xingyan's sleeve out of the corner of his eye.

Because it has been washed too many times, it has started to turn slightly white.

A certain thought brings blessing to my mind.

He leaned down, got close to Gu Xingyan's ear, and whispered in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "It's just a school uniform, I'll just compensate you with one."

If that still doesn't work, he can buy seven or eight pieces so that he can change them every day.

For some reason, after hearing his words, Gu Xingyan's mood seemed to become even worse. He said stiffly, "No need." His cold tone seemed to be able to condense ice.

Ruan Chao: “…”

You are not allowed to do this or that. You are really hard to please!
