Liu Ye was in front, and Xiao Weiguo was behind her, shining a flashlight for her.
In a secluded spot, the two of them fell silent, unsure of what to say, and walked quietly toward Liu Ye's house, one after the other.
Suddenly, a dark shadow flashed past in the beam of the flashlight.
Liu Ye screamed in fright, shrank back, and jumped up.
Xiao Weiguo walked behind her and suddenly found himself in her arms.
"Huh, what was that just now?"
Liu Ye was so frightened that she shrank nervously into Xiao Weiguo's arms, looking around, completely unaware of the changes in the man.
Xiao Weiguo swept his flashlight around and saw a large black dog quickly disappear around the corner.
Xiao Weiguo decided that when he came back tomorrow, he would definitely buy some meaty bones, the kind with lots of meat, to properly thank the big black dog.
"I wonder whose dog ran out at night."
"Oh my god, that scared me to death."
Liu Ye then came to her senses and kept patting her chest with her small hands.
"Hey, what's that down there? It's poking my butt."
"flashlight."
Xiao Weiguo gave a calm reply.
Liu Ye looked at the flashlight in his hand.
"Isn't the flashlight in your hand?"
"I brought two."
"Then why don't you give me one?"
Liu Ye reached out to grab his other flashlight.
Xiao Weiguo hurriedly grabbed her small hand, stopping her dangerous action.
"This one won't do; it's a family heirloom. You can use it later."
"Tch, what a stingy guy. Who wants a broken flashlight?"
Xiao Weiguo felt smug and tightened his arms around Liu Ye to keep her from moving around.
Liu Ye then realized that she was still clinging to Xiao Weiguo. She hurriedly struggled free and jumped down.
Her heart pounded, and she continued walking home with her head down, occasionally glancing at the man behind her out of the corner of her eye.
Why are you walking with your body hunched over?
"It's okay, I'm just full, I'll be fine in a bit."
Just as they reached Liu Ye's doorstep, a young figure darted out.
Xiao Weiguo knew him; he was Liu Qing, Liu Ye's younger brother.
Like an angry calf, Liu Qing suddenly rammed into Xiao Weiguo.
Unexpectedly, even though Xiao Weiguo was tall and strong, he was knocked off balance by the impact and almost fell to the ground.
Liu Ye quickly grabbed her younger brother's arm, while Xiao Weiguo glared at her.
"Hey kid, what are you doing?"
