Ye Yao walked over slowly with small steps.
Then...she turned in the direction of the alley.
At this moment, I turned around and our eyes met hers without any preparation.
The corners of my mouth curled up, revealing a bright smile. I asked softly, "Long time no see...Ye Yao, what are you doing following me?"
I thought to myself, I haven't seen her for a long time...Except for yesterday, although we didn't have a face-to-face conversation at school, I always looked in her direction inadvertently.
Ye Yao's face flushed all the way to her ears. Her head drooped instantly, and her voice was as soft as a mosquito's hum: "Who's following you...Is it not okay for me to come here to play?"
I deliberately teased her, bending down slightly, moving my face closer, staring into her eyes, and making a strange "oh" sound. I said, "Really? Are you really here to play?"
Ye Yao felt a little uncomfortable being stared at by me, and took a small step back. She pretended to be calm and responded: "Yes, otherwise...why would I follow you? What good would it do?"
I pointed across the alley with my finger. With a sly smile on my face, I said slowly, "That's the red-light district... Are you sure you want to go there?"
When Ye Yao heard this, she asked with a puzzled look on her face: "Red light district?"
"It's what we call Flower Street here." I explained patiently.
As soon as she finished speaking, Ye Yao's face instantly turned redder, like a ripe tomato... She took several steps back.
Seeing her like this, I couldn't help but laugh out loud, thinking to myself: Last time Zhao Zihan asked this and that, was he asking on her behalf? Could it be that this girl likes me? Probably not... If she likes me... why is she hiding from me? I'm not particularly handsome. Forget it, I'll stop being narcissistic.
I suppressed my smile and continued, "So... are you sure you still want to go?"
Ye Yao shook her head like a rattle and asked hurriedly, "Are you going?"
"I'm not going," I replied immediately.
"Then what are you doing here?" Ye Yao asked.
I straightened up, with a bit of pride on my face, and said, "I saw you were acting sneaky all the way here, so I waited for you here on purpose."
"You're the sneaky one!" Ye Yao snorted, a look of suspicion on her face. "I don't believe it. Do you come here so often that you know this place so well?"
I quickly waved my hands, looking innocent. "I heard it from others, swear to God! I'm a serious, innocent boy who never sets foot in those places... Besides, I was just passing by on my way to work."
"I was planning to sit there for a while... and just happened to be passing by." Ye Yao muttered softly... with her eyes evasive.
"You're going so early?" I couldn't help but remind her, "That place isn't open yet."
"What do you care about me?" Ye Yao said angrily, like a kitten whose tail was stepped on. "I go whenever I want."
Seeing this, the corners of my mouth curled up slightly. I suggested, "Well, that's on our way, let's go together."
"You go first... I want... I want to wait a while." Ye Yao's voice was so soft that it was like she was muttering to herself... She lowered her head slightly, and her fingers unconsciously tugged at the corner of her clothes.
Seeing that she said so, I didn't want to force it anymore. So I reminded her, "Okay, then you have to be careful on the road. Don't go down those small alleys. There are quite a lot of hooligans in these small places."
After hearing Ye Yao respond with "OK" in a voice not much louder than a mosquito's buzz...I turned around and slowly walked out of the alley.
Every few steps I took, I couldn't help but look back, hoping to see Ye Yao catching up... However, when I confirmed again and again that she didn't follow me, I felt a little disappointed.
After about ten minutes...we were almost at the bar.
Suddenly, a sack covered my head. I was stunned by this sudden situation... Then, someone kicked me hard. I lost my balance and fell heavily to the ground... Out of man's instinct, I quickly curled up my body... and covered my private parts tightly with my hands.
Then... I felt severe pain all over my body like raindrops of pain, and I didn't know how many people were surrounding me, punching and kicking me wantonly.
I yelled angrily, "Who the hell did this?"
"Your grandfathers from No. 2 Middle School!" came an arrogant voice.
It suddenly dawned on me...it was the group of people who lost to us in basketball last week.
"You are showing off, kid. I will beat you to death today!" another voice shouted.
I gritted my teeth and continued to curse, "Let go of me, your grandpa! Let's fight one-on-one!"
"Who the hell wants to fight you in a duel!" Along with these vicious words...fists and kicks continued to fall on me like a storm.
I don't know what happened when that little bastard kicked me in the face. I could clearly feel warm liquid flowing out of my nose.
I was furious and anxious, and I shouted, "Damn it! Don't hit someone in the face!"
As soon as I finished shouting this, I heard Ye Yao's familiar voice.
"Let him go! You bunch of hooligans!" Ye Yao's voice was tearful, filled with anxiety and anger.
Immediately afterwards, I felt someone suddenly pounce on me, and I knew it must be Ye Yao... because I could clearly hear her sobbing.
Perhaps frightened by Ye Yao's actions, the people on the other side finally stopped beating me, which allowed me to finally breathe...
I was furious: Damn it, wait until I get up!
I dug hard at the sack with both hands, and after a lot of effort, I finally made a big hole. Then I suddenly tore open the sack covering my head...
At this moment, my hand accidentally touched something raised and soft... Before I could react, Ye Yao stood up instantly as if she had been electrocuted... Her little face was red and full of tears... Her eyes were full of shyness.
