Win her back
The car drove out of the underground parking lot and the driver, Lao Liu, turned the steering wheel to the right.
"Zuo Xiao! That's Zuo Xiao!" Zhuang Jinghao suddenly pointed ahead and shouted, "Master Liu, stop the car!"
Lao Liu stepped on the brakes immediately, but only slowed down to a snail's pace and did not stop - the boss hadn't said anything yet.
Zhuang Yu'an turned around and saw a man and a woman standing face to face against the wall of the building. The woman was wearing a little red dress, her arms folded across her chest. The man was dressed in a suit and tie, holding a bouquet of yellow roses.
Is this... a confession scene?
Zhuang Yu'an frowned.
At this moment, the man suddenly rushed forward two steps. Zuo Xiao quickly stepped back, pointing at him and shouting something. The man was stunned for a moment, his knees weak.
He actually knelt down on his knees in the street!
The three of them were stunned.
"Stop the car!" Zhuang Jinghao said anxiously, "Zuo Xiao definitely doesn't like that guy. She's being harassed!"
Liu glanced in the rearview mirror and saw a car following closely behind him. It wasn't a good time to stop in the middle of the road. Fortunately, his boss gave him a timely instruction: "Keep going, turn the corner ahead and stop."
Zhuang Jinghao got out of the car and was about to run over when he was stopped by his brother.
"Let's see what happens first," he said. "What if I ruin their good fortune?"
Rather than immediately stopping her, Zhuang Jinghao actually wanted to watch a little longer. This man was tall, imposing, and handsome, and he looked quite a good match for Zuo Xiao! What's more, he was dressed formally, holding a rose, and even knelt down for her. His sincerity was overwhelming!
Zhuang Jinghao was even a little moved. Oh, if only Chen Liqing could confess his love to her one day, holding a rose, even if he didn't have to kneel...
The brother and sister tacitly hid behind the wall and stuck their heads out to look. The brother's head was on top and the sister's was on the bottom. At first glance, it looked like two heads sticking out of the wall.
It was already dusk and there was almost no one in the back alley. They were not far away and could hear everything clearly from the bottom of the wall.
The man cried and said, "Xiaoxiao, please forgive me, okay? I really know I was wrong... I promise I will never do such a childish thing again! I will spend my whole life making it up to you!"
Huh? Not a confession, but a request for reconciliation? Childish? What's going on?
"It's too late." Zuo Xiao had her back to them. He couldn't see her expression, but he could hear her cold tone. "From the moment you said you wanted to break up, it was over. Get out of here now. Don't let me see you again, or I'll really call the police."
"Go ahead and report it!" The man roared with tears in his eyes, ready to face death. "Even if I have to go to jail for five or ten years, I will still get you back! Xiaoxiao, I really love you and can't live without you!!"
Zhuang Jinghao: Oh my god, this guy is so smart!
Zhuang Yu'an: This idiot has lost his mind.
"Your condition is very serious. Go to No. 600 Wanping South Road for treatment." Zuo Xiao said with disgust.
Zhuang Jinghao couldn't help but sneer. Noticing her brother looking down at her, she explained, "It's the Shanghai Mental Health Center, a mental hospital."
Oh, that’s quite appropriate, Zhuang Yu’an thought.
"Then will you come with me?" The man wiped his tears with his sleeve and said tragically, "Without you, I can't be cured! Come with me, Xiaoxiao, save me... okay?"
My god, this guy has incredible mental fortitude! Zhuang Jing's eyes lit up with excitement. Zhuang Yu'an cursed in his heart: "Idiot."
As if irritated by his shamelessness, Zuo Xiao's tone suddenly rose: "Zhou Zhihui, how many times do you want me to tell you this! I no longer have any feelings for you. Whether you are dead or alive, or whether you have lost your mind or not, it has nothing to do with me! Go back to Shanghai right now!"
"I won't go back, not even if I die!" Zhou Zhihui's ex was completely stalking her. "You can hit me, scold me, or whip me, but I will never let you go! Xiaoxiao, what do you want me to do to forgive you? Just tell me, and I'll do anything for you!"
What if she told you to get out? Would you leave or not? Zhuang Jinghao couldn't help but worry about him: "Don't forget to add restrictions, big brother..."
Zuo Xiao didn't say anything, but Zhou Zhihui grew anxious. He scraped his knees against the ground, eagerly moving forward. Still holding the flowers in his left hand, he reached out with his right to grab Zuo Xiao's leg, only to be kicked in the face by her.
Oh my God! Zhuang Jinghao held his breath, his heart pounding.
Zhou Zhihui's head tilted back from the kick. Fortunately, Zuo Xiao didn't hit him too hard; he just tilted his head and shouted, "Yes! That's it!"
Under Zhuang Jing's excited and surprised gaze, the man kneeling on the ground raised his face and revealed an extremely satisfied smile: "Come on, keep kicking me! Kick me until you're satisfied! Quick!"
Oh my god...Zhuang Jing was so excited that her face turned red: This is too exciting and too perverted! Xiaoxiao baby, come on!
However, Zuo Xiao did not move. She looked down at Zhou Zhihui and said after a long pause, "Take off your shoes."
Huh? Take off your shoes? You hit someone and you have to make them take off their shoes? What's the logic behind this? Zhuang Jinghao was completely baffled.
Zhou Zhihui put down the flowers in his hand, sat on the ground, and hurriedly took off his left leather shoe.
"Take off your right foot too," Zuo Xiao continued to give orders. Soon, Zhou Zhihui took off another shoe. Now, he sat on the ground with his bare feet, two leather shoes placed on either side, a slightly eerie scene.
"Kneel down," Zuo Xiao commanded coldly, "Pick up your shoes."
From then on, Zhuang Jinghao finally understood her intentions. Her almond-shaped eyes widened, her eyelashes trembling with excitement. She had never witnessed anything like this before, and she was both nervous and excited about the coming storm.
"Come on, do it." Zuo Xiao commanded calmly, as if commanding a dog to stand up and sit down.
Zhou Zhihui's face was filled with a conflicted expression, and his hand, gripping the shoe, trembled uncontrollably. Just as Zhuang Jinghao was wondering whether he could bring himself to do that to her, he suddenly raised his hand.
"Pa, pa, pa..." His left and right hands swung alternately, and the soles of his shoes slapped his cheeks one after another. The strong man cried while being slapped, and occasionally yelled: "I'm sorry!" "I love you Xiaoxiao!"
The initial excitement faded, and Zhuang Jinghao felt a little bit of pity in her heart: This man is too miserable, she can't bear to watch it...
Zuo Xiao also seemed a little reluctant. "Stop," she said impatiently, "that's it."
Zhou Zhihui stopped. Zhuang Jinghao looked closely and saw that both sides of his face were black and red from being beaten by the soles of his shoes. They were also a little swollen. It was estimated that they would swell up like a pig's head in a while.
Alas, if I had known this would happen, why did I do it in the first place?
"Is that enough?" Zhou Zhihui said with a drooping brow and a tearful voice, "Is it not enough? If not, I'll smoke a little longer..."
"That's enough," Zuo Xiao said. "We're clear now. We have nothing to do with each other anymore. Go away."
Zhou Zhihui's expression suddenly changed, and he was at a loss: "No, no... don't do this..."
Zuo Xiao ignored him and turned away. Zhuang Jinghao had no time to dodge, and their eyes met. They were both stunned, and Zuo Xiao stopped.
Hearing that he was caught red-handed, Zhuang Jinghao wished he could find a crack in the wall to crawl into. Looking back, he saw his brother, an accomplice, also looking at Zuo Xiao.
Huh? Why is there one more person?
...Brother Luffy?!
Zhuang Jinghao was stunned for a few seconds. When she turned back to look at Zuo Xiao, she was walking towards them.
At this moment, Zhou Zhihui used his knees as a step and hugged Zuo Xiao's knees tightly from behind. In the blink of an eye, a figure rushed over and kicked Zhou Zhihui on the shoulder.
Zhou Zhihui was caught off guard and fell to the ground, stunned. He suddenly jumped up and threw a punch, but Luffy dodged it. He turned around and threw another punch, but to his surprise, it missed again.
"Who the hell are you?!" He roared in frustration after the raid failed.
Lu Fei was a tough guy who spoke little, standing in front of Zuo Xiao to protect him. Zhou Zhihui was a few centimeters taller than him, and was much bigger, so he had a more imposing presence. He raised his fist and threatened, "Get away from me, or I'll beat you up!"
"Zhou Zhihui, have you had enough of this?!" Zuo Xiao took two steps forward and before anyone could react, he raised his hand and slapped Zhou Zhihui in the face.
Zhou Zhihui was stunned by the slap. After a moment, he reacted, covered his face with one hand and pointed at Luffy with the other, shouting: "Adulterer! He is an adulterer! Okay, Zuo Xiao, you are cheating on me?!"
"So what?" Zuo Xiao curled his lips and smiled, "You're out. Don't bother me anymore, understand?"
The man who had been furious just now suddenly turned pale, mumbling "You...you..." for a long time without being able to utter another word. Gradually, his whole body began to tremble, his eyes wide as if like bells, like a mad bull.
Suddenly, he pushed Zuo Xiao away and rushed towards Luffy. In the blink of an eye, the two of them were wrestling with each other.
Luffy had learned martial arts and was good at quick reactions, but he wasn't good at dealing with his opponent's brute force and lack of strategy. He was also physically inferior and was about to lose the upper hand. Zhuang Jing was so anxious that he pushed his brother: "Brother, what are you waiting for!"
In an instant, Zhuang Yu'an rushed out, circled behind Zhou Zhihui, and quickly and accurately grasped him with his hands under his armpits. Luffy took the opportunity to kick Zhou Zhihui in the stomach.
"Ouch!" It was Zhuang Jinghao who shouted for the person who was beaten.
Zhou Zhihui was both terrified and angry. He didn't even bother to cry out in pain and struggled with all his might. However, he was pinned down from behind by the man who was several centimeters taller than him, making it impossible for him to escape.
"Who the hell is this!" Zhou Zhihui was angry and aggrieved. "Zuo Xiao, what the hell did you do behind my back?!"
Zuo Xiao smiled and said cheerfully, "Adulterer No. 2."
Not only Zhou Zhihui was dumbfounded, but the rest of the people were also stunned.
Zhou Zhihui's body suddenly softened, tears welling up in his eyes: "How can you be so cruel... How could you! Wuwu... After three years of relationship, are you worthy of me?..." He cried so hard that his nose was running.
Zuo Xiao ignored him, took Luffy's hand and said, "Let's go."
Luffy understood, turned with her, and walked side by side. Zhuang Jinghao watched as the two intertwined shadows, lengthened by the setting sun, gradually approached her. Behind them, Zhuang Yu'an loosened his grip, and Zhou Zhihui, losing his will, slumped to the ground, sobbing.
Zhuang Jinghao didn't know how to describe what she was feeling at the moment. It felt strange. It felt melodramatic, but also pathetic...
Zuo Xiao turned a corner, and the sunlight disappeared. She let go of his hand: "Thank you."
"I'll take you there. The car is right there."
Zuo Xiao did not refuse and got into the car with him silently.
The two of them remained silent for a while. Luffy was the first to break the silence: "Want to have a drink?"
In the bar, neither of them spoke. One gulped down his drink, the other sipped it. After two cocktails, Zuo Xiao rested his head on his arm and closed his eyes.
She woke up and ordered another drink, then started to cry after drinking it. Luffy still didn't say anything, just put his hand on her shoulder and rubbed it gently with his thumb.
Zuo Xiao's eyes were red from crying, and she wiped her tears with the back of her hand. Luffy took two tissues to help her wipe her tears. Zuo Xiao suddenly grabbed his hand and looked straight at him.
Luffy didn't hesitate and kissed her.
