Seeing the girl run away, Xi Changye clicked his tongue and raised the knife that had just been stained with blood: "You're scared of such a little excitement? Ha."
The man who had been stabbed several times suddenly stood up, lively and energetic. He spoke, pressing on Xi Changye's knife, which suddenly retracted: "Such a fake knife, sigh, she actually believed it. Tell me, I helped you get rid of an annoying guy, how are you going to thank me?"
Xi Changye said threateningly, "Are you serious about this?"
The man said, "Hmph, I knew I shouldn't have helped you. I'm leaving."
After the man left, Xi Changye called out to the corner of the wall, "Come out."
A round little head peeked out from the corner of the wall not far away, followed by a body, and after a while, the whole person came out. This person was Mu Wenxi, who walked a part of the way home with Xi Changye every day after school.
She covered her eyes with both hands, revealing only one small eye: "I really didn't see anything."
Xi Changye: "Aren't you afraid?"
Mu Wenxi pointed to his schoolbag: "Don't worry, it's fake."
Xi Changye: "Then why did you say you didn't see it?"
Mu Wenxi chuckled foolishly.
Xi Changye: "Let's go."
Mu Wenxi: "Who are they? They're not with the people from last time, are they?"
Xi Changye: "Those were enemies last time, but this time they are collaborators."
Mu Wenxi: "Oh, you actually have the patience to explain."
Xi Changye: "I have no patience?"
Mu Wenxi shook his head like a rattle: "Absolutely not. You always speak very briefly, you never explain your own affairs, and you have no charm towards women. You didn't even look at the gift that senior gave you."
Xi Changye looked at her curiously: "Heh, where did you find out all that?"
Mu Wenxi: "I won't tell you. I have my own ways. But if you don't want to tell me, that's fine. I won't ask next time."
Xi Changye: "Whatever you say."
From that day on, whenever the senior saw Xi Changye at school, she would tremble all over and run away immediately. But she didn't dare to say anything. She didn't know why Xi Changye could still be at school after "killing someone." The senior was certain that Xi Changye must have some kind of background, so she dared not tell anyone about it.
If Xi Changye knew what she was imagining, she would definitely laugh nonstop. However, after that incident, Xi Changye became more and more tolerant of the little tail following her. Occasionally, she would stop and wait for Mu Wenxi to catch up after school. Mu Wenxi would always call out to Xi Changye when she had something to do, regardless of whether she agreed or not.
The two went from the first year of high school to the second year. Xi Changye gradually got used to Mu Wenxi's company, and Mu Wenxi's relationship with Xi Changye remained at this point, with no intention of taking it any further. Looking at Xi Changye's back in front of him, Mu Wenxi felt that things were good enough as they were.
However, Xi Changye's identity was special. Even if Xi Changye was distant from Mu Wenxi, people with ulterior motives would still notice that there was a Mu Wenxi by Xi Changye's side.
Late at night, Xi Changye forcefully pressed down on the man in front of her with his hand: "Do you submit?"
The man nodded and fled the moment Xi Changye let go. Another man stepped forward; he was Xi Changye's next opponent. Just as Xi Changye was locked in close combat with him, he secretly whispered something to Xi Changye.
Xi Changye's expression changed for a moment. The man, whose throat was being held, quickly patted Xi Changye's hand to signal his surrender, and Xi Changye immediately released him.
When he returned home that evening, Xi Changye pondered for a long time because the man had said that the leader who was hostile to them seemed to have noticed Mu Wenxi and wanted to use Mu Wenxi to threaten Xi Changye, so he should be careful.
On the balcony, Xi Changye's face was gloomy. Under the moonlight, his face looked somewhat sinister. Thinking that he did not yet have the power to protect the people he wanted to protect, Xi Changye could only back down.
Just as Mu Wenxi was about to go find Xi Changye, Xi Changye seemed to have reverted to the indifference he had shown when they first met in their first year of high school, even more so than before.
Mu Wenxi was full of doubt. How could this man have changed overnight? Looking at Xi Changye's indifferent gaze and cold words, she felt a little sore and her eyes reddened. Xi Changye lowered his eyes and pretended not to care.
Mu Wenxi tried hard to control her emotions: "Then I'll go first."
She walked quickly to within a few meters, and Xi Changye caught a glimpse of her wiping her eyes with her hand. He lowered his head and turned to walk to the other side.
After that day, Xi Changye developed his power even more ruthlessly, and this seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy became known, respected, and feared by more people.
With each new wound and scar on his body, the boy's violent aura grew stronger.
Mu Wenxi's life returned to normalcy, filled with nothing but studying. There were no more long nights. Occasionally, when they bumped into each other at school, the girl would immediately retract her outstretched foot.
But when she got home on time, she didn't expect to be watched. The girl, holding her schoolbag, looked at the group of people in front of her.
One of them chuckled wickedly, "I heard you're Xi Changye's little girlfriend?"
Mu Wenxi realized something and quickly shook his head: "I don't know, I don't know him."
"No, it's better not to."
The man laughed and tried to reach out to touch the girl's face. The girl quickly took a few steps back. Suddenly, a trash can shattered into pieces not far away with a "bang".
Xi Changye had one hand in his pocket and the other gripping his backpack. The next second, the backpack was thrown and hit the person in front of him squarely in the face: "You dare to touch my man?"
As soon as Mu Wenxi saw Xi Changye, she ran towards him and hid behind him. Xi Changye blocked her way, took out a pistol from his clothes, and gently blew on the muzzle.
He smiled slightly as he looked at the group in front of him: "Want to give it a try?"
The men took a few steps back when they saw Xi Changye's gun. They were afraid that Xi Changye, this madman, would fire, because this wasn't the first time he had fired a gun. The rumors in the underworld were rampant. If you messed with this young man, as long as he didn't die, your enemies wouldn't survive either.
The group exchanged glances.
Xi Changye: "Forget it, it's too easy to deal with you with this."
Xi Changye put the gun away and then took out a knife. Mu Wenxi was shocked; she had no idea where Xi Changye got the gun and knife from.
Xi Changye quickly knocked the men to the ground: "I'm in a good mood today, no blood will be spilled, so get lost."
Those people scrambled away in a panic.
After watching the others leave, Xi Changye turned to Mu Wenxi and said, "Come with me next time."
He had kept his distance because he was afraid that others would target Mu Wenxi, but he didn't expect that someone would still target Mu Wenxi. It seems that he has to stay close to her.
Mu Wenxi was still in shock and hadn't reacted yet: "Was that gun you just had real?"
Xi Changye pulled out a gun: "You mean this?"
With a "click," a burst of fire shot out from the muzzle of the gun.
Xi Changye chuckled wickedly: "It's fake."
Mu Wenxi stared in disbelief: "Okay."
