When the two appeared at the entrance of the alley, they saw Pei Xiao and Yu Meijuan panting and looking around on the side of the road.
Pei Xiao and Yu Meijuan watched their daughter dash out of the mall. Without hesitation, they immediately chased after her. However, she ran too fast. They kept asking questions and running after her, but they couldn't catch up.
"Come on, hurry up! You're a grown man, but you're running slower than me? What if our daughter is in danger?" Yu Meijuan panted. Her heart was beating fast, and a thin layer of sweat was already beading on her forehead. Pei Xiao was also running as hard as he could, but his physical fitness was clearly not as good as his wife's. He had already fallen far behind and felt a little powerless. Yu Meijuan didn't care about her husband. She ran as fast as she could. Although she didn't catch up with her daughter, she was not far away.
By the time they reached the alley, their daughter had already disappeared at the entrance. There were three entrances to the alley, and Yu Meijuan was stunned. She didn't know which direction to chase. She stood there, looking around helplessly. Her heartbeat intensified, and a sense of foreboding washed over her.
Just as they were panicking and preparing to call the police, their daughter appeared in front of them, supported by a teenager.
"Zi Han." The first thing Yu Meijuan did when she saw her daughter was she rushed towards her. She stopped one meter away from her daughter and saw the blood on her daughter's leg.
"Zi Han, are you hurt? How did it happen? That damn thief not only stole things but also hurt my daughter. He is so hateful. Don't let me catch him. If I catch him, I will break his legs." Yu Meijuan's heart was on her daughter, and she instinctively ignored Zhou Bingxuan next to her.
Zhou Bingxuan's legs trembled uncontrollably when he heard Yu Meijuan's words. Is Yu Zihan's mother that tough? She's going to break his legs right away.
Feeling Zhou Bingxuan's reaction, Yu Zihan nudged Zhou Bingxuan with his elbow, signaling him to calm down.
Although Zhou Bingxuan had Yu Zihan's reminder, he was the one who did the wrong thing first, so he still felt uncomfortable and kept his head down in silence.
"What a loser! How come that fearless man in his previous life was so cowardly when he was a kid?" Yu Zihan complained about Zhou Bingxuan in her heart, but still stood up for him on the surface.
"Mom, my legs hurt. Let's go to the hospital quickly to get it treated, otherwise it will be troublesome if it gets infected." Her words reminded Yu Meijuan and Pei Xiao. Pei Xiao looked into the distance and saw the driver driving the car following them.
"My daughter is right. Let's go to the hospital quickly. The car is coming here just in time." Pei Xiao hurried over to support Yu Zihan.
Only after they got in the car did they see Zhou Bingxuan.
"Who are you and why did you get in the car with us?" Yu Meijuan said in surprise as she looked at the young man in front of her.
"Oh, I..."
"He is my senior. He saw me fighting with the thief and helped me drive the thief away." Yu Zihan interrupted Zhou Bingxuan's self-exposure.
"Oh, thank you, classmate." Yu Meijuan and Pei Xiao both expressed their gratitude to Zhou Bingxuan.
"You're welcome, uncle and aunt. This is what I should do." Zhou Bingxuan responded with his head down. If he didn't respond, he wouldn't know what kind of plot Yu Zihan would make up, which made him ashamed.
As they were talking, they arrived at the hospital.
When the nurse was cleaning Yu Zihan's wound, Yu Zihan grimaced and cried out in pain.
Zhou Bingxuan thought to himself, "Isn't he very strong? Why is he yelling now?"
Seeing the gloating look on Zhou Bingxuan's face, Yu Zihan thought, don't forget that I am your boss now. It will be very convenient for me to deal with you. I will let you act arrogantly for a while first.
After the bandage was completed, Yu Meijuan suggested going home quickly, but Yu Zihan had not forgotten what she had promised Zhou Bingxuan. She said to her parents, "Please send us to Zhou Bingxuan's door. Wait for me. I need to go to his house to get some information that I need urgently."
"What information are you in such a hurry to get? Can't you ask your classmates to bring it to school for you tomorrow?" Yu Meijuan said with concern as she looked at her daughter's legs.
Zhou Bingxuan also didn't want the injured Yu Zihan to go to his house, but when he thought about the man harassing his sister from time to time, he hesitated.
Seeing Zhou Bingxuan's hesitation, Yu Zihan realized that the matter needed to be resolved urgently. So she said to her parents, "I need it tonight. We can take the bus. It won't be very strenuous." Yu Meijuan, knowing her daughter's stubborn temper, agreed.
In less than twenty minutes, they arrived at the alleyway leading to Zhou Bingxuan's home. The alley was too narrow for the car to pass through. Yu Meijuan said, "Classmate, could you please go get the documents and help deliver them? Look at Zihan's leg injury."
"Mom, I need to personally select all the information. I'd better go there myself. You just wait here for me." Yu Zihan interrupted Yu Meijuan. She said to Zhou Bingxuan, "Just hold me and walk."
Watching the two of them supporting each other as they walked into the alley, Yu Meijuan felt somewhat resentful towards the young man.
"Don't worry about the children. Besides, our Zi Han is a self-reliant person." Pei Xiao had recognized the young man as the thief who stole his wife's bag while they were in the car, but despite his daughter's repeated defense, he didn't expose him. The main reason was that Pei Xiao observed that the young man was not the same type of thieves. Perhaps he had some special reason for doing this. As an educator, Pei Xiao understood his daughter's actions. Nothing can be simply dismissed.
"I know, I just feel sorry for her." Yu Meijuan agreed with her husband's words.
Zhou Bingxuan supported Yu Zihan as they walked into a large courtyard. Some curious people in the courtyard began to ask around.
"Bingxuan, who is this?" It was a sincere voice.
"Oh, this girl is so pretty." This is the gossiping voice.
"Oh, are you hurt?" This was a sarcastic voice.
These voices ranged from sincere to gossipy and even sarcastic, a common sight in the compound. Zhou Bingxuan ignored their inquiries, knowing full well that they were mostly there to watch the fun. When his family was starving, no one had helped them. So he treated them coldly.
Zhou Bingxuan stopped in front of a dilapidated hut. He opened the door and helped Yu Zihan into the hut.
The house was small and low, but clean. It contained a single bed and a double bed, separated by a curtain. In the middle of the room stood a square wooden table and three chairs. In the corner sat a wooden box, its paint chipped and fading.
"Xiaoxuan, what is this?" a gentle voice asked.
Yu Zihan looked in the direction of the voice and saw a young woman with a pretty face.
"This is my sister Zhou Yiran." Zhou Bingxuan and Yu Zihan introduced.
