“…”
Seeing the child leave in frustration, Tang Chen returned to his sunflower seeds with great interest. He didn't know which adult this was. He had heard that a child's future can be seen from a child's age. He was so young, yet he didn't take good care of him, and he wasn't even worried about getting lost. He just left him on the street to do whatever he wanted.
Before Tang Chen could sigh at his high level of ideological awareness, a familiar voice came to his ears: "Brother, this is the man!"
By the time Tang Chen realized what was happening, the pavilion had already been surrounded by the group of burly men that the little brat had brought with him. Passersby on the street saw that these local tyrants were collecting protection fees again, so they either pretended not to notice or quickly left this troubled place.
"Humph, you're the one bullying my brother!"
Tang Chen slowly stood up, looked at the arrogant little brat leading the group, then glanced at the melon seeds in his hand, and hurriedly said with a smile: "Well, it's a misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding. You little brat, the little hero actually has such a powerful backer, I'm afraid all these heroes are from the Beggars' Sect!"
Upon hearing this, the brat's older brother spat on the ground and said ferociously, "What a lousy Beggars' Gang! I'm warning you, this street is my territory. If you want to rest here, you have to pay me protection money first!"
Tang Chen didn't know what was wrong when she heard that. She was about to pay the money obediently, but her hand suddenly paused when it touched the gold leaf. She didn't know if it was Liang Jingru who lent her courage, but this weak woman with no help suddenly started to argue with the other party: "What if I don't pay?"
"Humph, you won't hand it over? Brothers, let her see how powerful our Qinglong Gang is!"
As soon as the eldest brother finished speaking, a group of people suddenly rushed forward. Tang Chen didn't even have time to pick up the sunflower seeds that fell on the ground. She squatted down and did a dog crawl, which actually made her way out of the crowd: "Oh my god, what's going on! Oh my god, help!"
Tang Chen ran ahead, a group of burly men chasing him. Tang Chen, momentarily distracted, didn't notice the oncoming carriage. Inertia and the cries of those around him, Tang Chen, unable to brake in time, was suddenly swept into the arms of a passing warrior in white, who carried him to the side of the road and saved him.
The thugs who were "hunting" Tang Chen were accustomed to this Qinghe County. With just one glance at the person who saved Tang Chen, they knew that this person in white was someone they couldn't afford to mess with. They had no choice but to retreat temporarily and look for the next opportunity to "hunt" her.
Tang Chen, still in shock, patted his pounding chest and said, "Thank you, hero, for saving my life." Oh my God, this is right, this is the standard routine of a romantic drama!
The man who saved the woman was a man in white. He had originally planned to leave after saving her, so he didn't really care what the woman he saved looked like. It wasn't until Tang Chen spoke before him that he suddenly realized what was going on: "...Oh, Miss Tang, long time no see."
Tang Chen was slightly stunned, and when he suddenly looked up, he saw that stunning face again. Tang Chen couldn't help but sigh, this world is really small, what a shovel: "...Liang, Miss Liang, what a coincidence. Well, you look quite handsome in men's clothes. Let's talk again when we have time!"
Liang Shuyi raised the corner of her mouth. She had never been able to find out her whereabouts before. Now that she had taken the initiative to bump into him, she had to give her face: "Come here, bring her back to me."
"yes!"
Tang Chen was scurrying around in the alleys on both sides of the street, carefully avoiding the two waves of people chasing him: "I stepped in dog shit when I went out, boss, where are you? Come back quickly and save your lovely followers!"
Just when Tang Chen accidentally ran into a dead end and had nowhere to go, a historic scene was played out again. It was unknown which lucky star in Tang Chen's life reached out and gently pulled her into a dilapidated hut next to the alley.
Before Tang Chen could ask the identity of the person who came, nor before she could subconsciously call for help, the person who dragged her into the house quickly covered Tang Chen's mouth, signaling her not to make a sound: "Shh!"
After making sure the pursuers had left, the girl who rescued Tang Chen let go of her: "Okay, it's okay, you can talk now."
After Tang Chen took a long breath, he looked at the "man" in front of him who was a little shorter than him and smiled: "Little sister, thank you!"
The little girl was stunned and exclaimed: "Hey, how do you know I'm a girl!"
"Um, sorry, I just accidentally touched your chest. Also, unless you are a cross-dresser, you can be seen as a woman at a glance." This place is really fun, women like to wear men's clothes, and men also wear women's clothes. I just wonder what Wang Yanzhou would look like if he dressed as a woman. Would he be as stunningly beautiful as Yue Sheng?
The little girl stomped her feet in frustration before she even finished listening to Tang Chen's explanation. Her playful and cute look almost warmed Tang Chen's heart: "Damn it, Xiaoxiao lied to me again!"
Tang Chen lowered his head slightly, looked at the little sister with an aunt's smile and said, "Well, little cutie, thank you for saving me. My name is Tang Chen. I am grateful for your kindness. When I become rich, I will definitely repay you!"
The little sister smiled and shook her head. "No, no, I don't like Sister Liang either. By the way, why did she let someone chase you? Are you playing hide-and-seek?"
Tang Chen scratched his hair in embarrassment: "It's a long story, I won't say more. My dear, there are people waiting for me, I have to leave first."
Seeing Tang Chen opening the door and about to leave, the little sister rushed forward and blocked the door: "...Wait!"
"What's wrong?"
The little girl explained, "It might not be safe for you to go out like this. So, I'll give you my clothes. It will be safer if you change into something."
"How can I be so embarrassed?" Tang Chen hadn't finished speaking when he picked up the clothes on the table and started changing without any hesitation. Although this little sister looks so cute, I didn't expect her to be so smart and intelligent. She will definitely become a great person when she grows up!
After changing his clothes, Tang Chen remembered that he had never asked her name: "By the way, little cutie, what's your name?"
The little girl helped Tang Chen straighten his sleeves while answering, "Hehe, if you like, just call me cutie. Oh, by the way, if someone asks you on the street if you've seen me, you have to keep it a secret!"
Tang Chen frowned slightly. After listening to the little cutie's words, he looked at the secret and simple little house again. For some reason, he suddenly had a bad premonition: "Little cutie, are you running away from home?"
When Tang Chen mentioned this, the little cutie's expression suddenly changed: "...My parents wanted me to marry someone I didn't like. I didn't want to, so I had to run away."
Tang Chen subconsciously patted his thigh and said excitedly: "How old are you? They want you to get married! Okay, I'll leave this matter to my sister. I think they won't find you!"
"Um!"
