Chapter 19 Who are you? Why are you talking to me?
There was no one in Chen Zhaoyue's compartment anymore.
The man looked around and saw that no one was paying attention to this place. He did not even sit on the empty bunk opposite, but sat down directly on Chen Zhaoyue's bunk.
The bed sank suddenly, and the man's thighs were almost touching her legs. A mixture of sweat and cheap tobacco smell hit her face.
Chen Zhaoyue: “?”
No, who are you, brother?
Just sit down like this?
Are you familiar with me?
Chen Zhaoyue's heart tightened and he immediately shrank towards the window.
She was looking down for her shoes, secretly cursing herself for being careless: If I had known I should have worn shoes, it would be too late to run now.
"Comrade, are you from Shanghai?" The man leaned close to her ear and asked in a low voice, pretending to be familiar.
He was not tall, about thirty-five years old, with an ordinary face that you wouldn't find in a crowd, and a pair of eyes that were rolling around, making him look vulgar no matter how you looked at him.
Could it be that she met some pervert like a pervert on the train?
"Who are you?" Chen Zhaoyue frowned slightly and moved to the side cautiously, his back pressed against the car window. He was thinking about what props in the space could be used for self-defense. "Why are you talking to me?"
She deliberately raised her voice a few degrees, hoping to attract the attention of other passengers.
The man chuckled, his eyes twinkling: "You look familiar to me. Do you live in..."
As he spoke, he moved closer to Shen Zhaoyue, causing her scalp to tighten.
Such a clumsy way of picking up girls, I didn’t expect that there are still people using it in this day and age?
"You've got the wrong person." Chen Zhaoyue replied indifferently.
"Comrade, don't be nervous. We should have met before." The man saw that Chen Zhaoyue had such an indifferent attitude, but he had no intention of leaving.
He even pretended to casually rub his right hand towards her, the rough back of his hand almost touching her arm.
"Get out of here!" Chen Zhaoyue stood up suddenly, not even bothering to put on his shoes, and stepped barefoot on the cold floor.
Her voice was already filled with obvious anger.
If this man dares to move again, she will make him experience the power of the anti-wolf spray of later generations even if she has to expose herself to the elements!
"Eh?" The man seemed unwilling to give up. He narrowed his eyes and looked at her carefully for a few more times. Then he pretended to suddenly realize: "Oh, I really recognized the wrong person... Sorry, my eyesight is not very good."
After saying that, he pretended to leave and glanced into her pocket.
Chen Zhaoyue's heart suddenly became alarmed.
The other passengers in this compartment had just gotten off the train at the previous stop, so it was empty now. She was a young girl and looked easy to bully. How could the other party give up so easily?
There must be something wrong with this man!
Chen Zhaoyue frowned, thinking of the man's last look, and immediately reached for his pocket.
Sure enough, I touched a very small folded piece of paper, which was handed to me by the man just now.
These days, being framed is no joke!
I didn't expect that this guy was not a creep, he clearly had other purposes.
"Hey, wait a minute, why are you stuffing this into my hand?" Chen Zhaoyue took out a tiny folded piece of paper from his pocket and asked in a cold voice.
As she spoke, she didn't even bother to put on her shoes as she walked towards the man, wanting to return the note to him.
It’s safer to return this thing of unknown origin as soon as possible, even if it’s just a note!
"..." The man's face suddenly changed when he heard this, and cold sweat instantly broke out on his forehead.
He obviously didn't expect that this seemingly weak girl would be so alert. She immediately turned around and ran away, moving as fast as a well-trained criminal.
"Hello!"
"stop!"
Chen Zhaoyue was about to rush out, but almost at the same moment, two nimble figures suddenly rushed out of the carriage door behind her and chased after the short man like arrows.
A strong wind blew up, blowing Chen Zhaoyue's hair.
Watching the two men chasing after him, Shen Zhaoyue breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately someone came to help.
If she chased him alone, this slippery guy might really escape.
Dada——
The footsteps behind Shen Zhaoyue stopped, and a tall figure stood silently beside her.
Feeling someone standing next to him, Chen Zhaoyue subconsciously turned his head to look. The man was as tall and straight as a pine tree. From the side, his tall nose was particularly eye-catching. His army green casual clothes made his shoulders broad and his legs long. Just standing there, he had an aura that could not be ignored.
"Hey, it's you."
Isn’t this the man who helped her before?
I didn't expect to meet him again at this time.
The sunlight shone through the car window onto his angular profile, outlining a sharp contour line.
He first glanced coldly at the short man who was running away, then his gaze fell on Shen Zhaoyue. His eyes suddenly became cold, with a hint of scrutiny.
"?" Chen Zhaoyue was confused by his stare.
Why is this man so fierce?
I didn't provoke him...
Was it because she didn't have time to thank him before?
But didn't he run too fast?
"Well, thank you for helping me in the carriage before." Chen Zhaoyue thought for a moment, then thanked him openly.
Her voice was clear and pleasant, like a spring breeze blowing through the dull carriage.
There was a small dimple on her lips because of her slight smile.
The man was slightly startled, and a hint of surprise flashed across his sharp eyes. He seemed to have not expected Shen Zhaoyue to take the initiative to come forward and talk to him.
But the coldness in his eyes did not diminish at all, instead he became more vigilant, and his aura became fiercer.
"?" A trace of confusion flashed across Chen Zhaoyue's eyes. She clearly did nothing, so why was this man becoming more and more aggressive?
"What did that man give you just now?" The man suddenly spoke, his voice low and cold, and every word seemed to be wrapped in ice.
He looked down at her condescendingly, and the oppressive feeling made Shen Zhaoyue feel as if she had become a prisoner being interrogated.
"Oh, you mean that note..." Chen Zhaoyue secretly complained in her heart, but her hands did not hesitate and immediately handed over the crumpled note: "He suddenly ran over to chat with me, and then stuffed this into my pocket. I don't know what it is."
The note hovered between the two of them for a moment before the man slowly took it with his bony fingers.
His fingertips accidentally brushed against her palm, which was not as cold as he appeared, but rather warm.
But when the man unfolded the note and glanced at it, his expression became even colder.
His knuckles turned white from pinching, and the veins on the back of his hands were bulging.
"Stand here and don't move." He ordered coldly, with unquestionable majesty in his voice.
Those hawk-like eyes stared sharply ahead, and his whole body was tense like a fully drawn bow.
"Ah?" Chen Zhaoyue was startled by his sudden change.
The two people who had just chased out had already pinned the short man to the ground at the connection between the two carriages.
"Still want to run?" one of them shouted, pressing his knee firmly against the shorter man's back. "Behave yourself!"
"I caught him!" Chen Zhaoyue's eyes lit up, and he turned to look at the man beside him, with a bit of excitement in his tone: "Shall we go over there?"
She secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Now that the guy who slipped the note inexplicably was caught in the act, it should be possible to prove her innocence, right?
Thinking of this, her eyes looked more calm as she looked at the man.
"..." The man lowered his eyes and glanced at her. A complex expression flashed in his sharp eyes. He pursed his lips slightly, wondering what he was thinking.
