When Yan Xiufang heard the voice, she turned around and saw Zhao Beichen holding two candied haws in his hand and pointing in the direction Yan Ruyu left.
"Zhao, Professor Zhao, weren't you behind us just now? Why did you run to the front?"
"I was behind you just now. I passed by a vendor selling candied haws. I thought girls would like sweet and sour things, so I ran after him and bought some for you. What's wrong?"
Zhao Beichen originally just wanted to buy some candied haws to make Yan Ruyu happy, and didn’t think too much about it.
At this moment, facing Yan Xiufang, he had no idea what had happened in the few minutes he had been away.
"Ruyu went back to look for you because Professor Zhao got lost. So she, she couldn't find you..."
When Zhao Beichen heard Yan Xiufang's words, the expression on his face instantly became solemn.
He didn't expect that just because he suddenly left for a while, there would be one person missing.
He couldn't help feeling guilty, but then he immediately realized that he had to find Yan Ruyu, otherwise, he couldn't guarantee that something like what happened to Jiang Cheng would not happen to her again.
Zhao Beichen hurriedly apologized to Yan Xiufang, "I'm sorry Miss Fangxiu, I didn't expect Miss Ruyu to come to me."
"I will go find her right now. Don't worry. Just stand here and don't leave." After saying that, he turned and left, starting to search in the direction Yan Ruyu left.
Yan Xiufang stood there, feeling uneasy.
She was worried about Ruyu's safety, but because she was not often in Haicheng, she did not dare to move around casually. She did not know what to do and could only pray silently that Ruyu would be safe.
Zhao Beichen quickly moved through the crowd, looking for Yan Ruyu.
He was extremely anxious and kept calling her name.
"Miss Ruyu! Yan Ruyu! Ruyu!"
However, it was almost 10:00 p.m., and the street was getting more and more crowded. He never saw Yan Ruyu appear in his sight.
As time passed, Zhao Beichen became more and more nervous.
Just as he was about to continue searching again, he suddenly heard a scream.
He immediately turned around and found someone in the crowd pointing at the entrance of an alley ahead.
Zhao Beichen's heart tightened, his intuition told him that Yan Ruyu might be there.
He rushed to the alley quickly, and the scene before him shocked him.
Yan Ruyu was standing at the entrance of the alley, her eyes were filled with panic, but her expression was indeed very calm. It was obvious that she was just trying not to appear so scared.
And beside her, there were several strange men blocking her way.
"My beautiful lady, you are looking for Professor Zhao, right? I am Professor Zhao, right?!"
"Yes! Our eldest brother is Professor Zhao. Isn't he the one you are looking for?"
"Miss, look, my brother has told me that I am the Professor Zhao you are looking for. Come with us." The men in front of her were looking at Yan Ruyu as if she were appreciating food.
"Don't come over here!" Yan Ruyu screamed.
Zhao Beichen's heart was pounding. He rushed forward without hesitation and used his body to block Yan Ruyu.
"Get out of here!" There was a hint of cold murderous intent in Zhao Beichen's eyes as he looked at them.
When the men saw Zhao Beichen appear, a disdainful smile appeared on their faces.
One of the men said sarcastically, "How dare you meddle in our business, kid? Get out of here!"
"You're the only one here, and you still want to be a hero saving the damsel in distress!"
Zhao Beichen ignored their ridicule; he only cared about Yan Ruyu's safety.
He stood in front of Yan Ruyu without flinching.
"I don't care who you are, but you can't touch her, and I will never let you hurt her!"
"Since you don't want to move aside, don't blame me for taking action!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Beichen started a fierce fight with those men.
The sound of punches hitting flesh echoed in the alley. Zhao Beichen kept dodging the opponent's attacks while not forgetting to protect Yan Ruyu's safety.
After a fierce battle, Zhao Beichen finally defeated the men.
The leader spat out a mouthful of blood, "What a damn bad luck! I finally found a pretty girl, but this guy stopped her!"
"Boy, if you dare to ruin our business again next time, I will never let you off! Go!"
Several people either covered their stomachs or chests and fled in panic.
Zhao Beichen breathed a sigh of relief after seeing them leave.
Panting, he turned to look at Yan Ruyu and asked with concern, "Are you okay?"
Yan Ruyu looked at Zhao Beichen, she shook her head slowly, her voice trembling slightly.
"I'm fine, Professor Zhao, thank you this time, you saved me again..."
Zhao Beichen smiled and shook his head, "It's okay, I'm a man, I'll always protect you, I just hope you're okay."
He reached out and gently wiped the dust off Yan Ruyu's face.
Yan Ruyu felt the warmth of Zhao Beichen's fingertips and said in a muffled voice, "Fortunately, fortunately they didn't have a knife this time..."
Zhao Beichen paused, then chuckled, "Even if they have knives, I don't have to be afraid this time. They are just some hooligans, and they are different from the people sent to kidnap you in Jiangcheng."
"Um."
"Let's go, Miss Xiufang is still waiting here." Zhao Beichen pulled Yan Ruyu's wrist and walked back.
When they were halfway there, Yan Ruyu said, "Um, Professor Zhao..."
"Um?"
"When you see my sister later, can you please not tell her what happened just now? I don't want her to worry."
"...Okay." Zhao Beichen secretly tightened his hand around Yan Ruyu's wrist.
If you don’t want to tell Miss Xiufang, then don’t tell her. Anyway, I have already rescued her.
Fortunately, I went there in time this time.
Her appearance, coupled with the white dress, seemed to easily attract the attention of hooligans...
It seems that I have to be more careful when I go out with her next time.
After a while, the two of them appeared in front of Yan Fangxiu.
"elder sister."
Yan Fangxiu looked at her sister's messy hair, took a few steps closer and took a closer look.
"Ruyu, your hair seems to be a little messier than before. What happened?"
Yan Ruyu felt guilty about being stared at by her and looked away.
He smiled and said, "Nothing happened."
"My hair is messy because I ran to find Professor Zhao just now, so it's a little messy."
"Why, my hair is messy now. Am I no longer the most beautiful sister in your heart?" Yan Ruyu said this deliberately.
Only in this way can Yan Fangxiu's attention be diverted.
