Chapter 18

That person realized it later: "Fuck, you are Tao Luanxi?!"

Tao Luanxibolan looked at the man's surprised face without surprise, frowning slightly: "You don't know me?"

The man swallowed and didn't say anything for a long time.

"Where did you get my notebook?"

The man narrowed his eyes: "You said I would tell you?"

"You can choose to tell it now, or tell it to JC later in the orange." Qiu Yi said coldly: "Weigh it yourself and see which side has a better temper."

The man thought for a moment, nodded, and hooked his finger at Tao Luanxi: "Come over here and I'll tell you."

Tao Luanxi and Qiu Yi looked at each other, staring at the man with suspicion. He grinned and said, "How dare you catch my fish? Do you have the courage to come over and chat with me now?"

Tao Luanxi was not a fool either. She found the order paper and pen on the table and returned them to him: "Write it down."

When the man saw that the two men were not fooled, he took a pen and wrote on it in dissatisfaction.

"This pen is out of water!"

Tao Luanxi subconsciously leaned over to look, only to find that the man suddenly lifted up the tablecloth and kicked the table leg at the same time. Tao Luanxi didn't react in time and was hit in the stomach by the table. He fell into the chair in pain.

Tao Luanxi's eyes went black from the pain. Before he could recover, he heard a scream. Qiu Yi twisted the man's arms and pressed him to the ground, with a cold look on his face.

The girl at the milk tea shop was so scared that she dared not say a word at the bar. Qiu Yi looked up at her and warned her coldly, "Go upstairs now and come back down in ten minutes. Don't call the police. We will leave naturally after we have dealt with the matter."

The younger sister was originally a worker, and seeing the man's violent temper, she did not dare to retort. She nodded and hurriedly ran upstairs to hide.

The wrought iron table in the milk tea shop was cold and heavy. Tao Luanxi lifted the table with great difficulty and stood beside Qiu Yi, holding her stomach.

Qiu Yi turned his head to see his movements, his eyes softened: "Did you hit your stomach?"

"Well," Tao Luanxi didn't have time to care about this now. He lowered his head and looked at the man with disgust: "If you choose to run now, we will check the store's surveillance later and you won't be able to run away. And the punishment will be even worse."

Tao Luanxi squatted down and looked at the man calmly: "Tell me, where did you get that notebook?"

The man's face was red from the pain, his hat had tilted to one side, and he was groaning in pain.

"Speak!" Qiu Yi added more force, and the man yelled again, begging for mercy: "I'll tell you, I'll tell you!"

"I went to your No. 1 Middle School after school last time, hoping to find some scraps of exam papers to sell. I happened to hear someone say that Tao Luanxi, the top student in the No. 1 Middle School, had a notebook with a brown cover. I saw someone with it, so I stole it while no one was around."

"I want the truth." Qiu Yi said in a deep voice, "If you still want your arm."

The man was now really afraid of the young man in front of him. After overturning the table, he ran away, but was pinned to the ground by a strong force before he took two steps. When he looked back, the young man's eyes had completely changed.

"Ahhh! I'm telling you, I'm telling you! I asked a boy from Class D to help me steal it, and I paid him 500 yuan for his labor."

"What's the student's name?"

"I really don't know about that. How can I explain it?"

Qiu Yi added a little more strength, and the man's screams became sharp and piercing. Tao Luanxi was standing close enough to almost hear the creaking sound of the arm being bent excessively.

"Forget it." Tao Luanxi held Qiu Yi's hand: "From the look of him, he really doesn't know. This clue is enough. Leave the rest to Teacher Shen!" He couldn't stand the man's screams, and was even more surprised by Qiu Yi's fierce look.

Qiu Yi glanced at Tao Luanxi, loosened his grip on her, took out his phone and made a call: "JC will be here soon, just tell him what's going on."

The man hugged his shoulders and couldn't move for a while, looking up at Qiu Yi miserably.

Qiu Yi stood against the light, his whole face buried in the shadows: "You don't have to lie. I have already checked your identity. If you don't want to tell me, someone will send your information and what you have done to me later."

After saying that, Qiu Yi pulled Tao Luanxi away.

The engine sounded, and the red motorcycle stirred up a cloud of dust, leaving the milk tea shop like an arrow and merging into the traffic on the main road.

Tao Luanxi sat in the back seat, holding Qiu Yi's shoulders with both hands. Amid the howling wind, Tao Luanxi thought of the young man who had just pinned someone to the ground. It was a face he was very familiar with, but the violent aura emanating from his body made Tao Luanxi feel extremely unfamiliar and even a little scared.

This guy's true character may be much worse than he imagined.

Tao Luanxi didn't have any great ambitions. He just wanted to live a quiet high school life with the praise of teachers and the envy of classmates. He didn't think about falling in love, fighting, and getting entangled in some strange things. It's better to stay as far away from dangerous people like Qiu Yi as possible.

The motorcycle stopped at the gate of Wenxinyuan. Tao Luanxi took off the helmet and gave it back to Qiu Yi: "Tell Mr. Shen about the rest and let him handle it!"

"As you say."

"Then I'm leaving."

"Be careful on the road."

"I still want to thank you for helping me this time."

But this is the last time. In the future, he still hopes to slowly return to peace and distance himself from Qiu Yi. Tao Luanxi added silently in his heart,

Qiu Yi looked at Tao Luanxi's face with a smile in his eyes, his pupils bright as if there were little stars in them.

Tao Luanxi felt a little embarrassed when being stared at: "Why are you looking at me like that?"

"If you want to thank me, can you do something practical?"

"What do you want to do?" Tao Luanxi subconsciously became defensive.

Qiu Yi chuckled, stepped out of the bike, hung his helmet on the handlebars, turned around and held Tao Luanxi's hand: "Follow me."

The small drugstore in the community is not big, but it has a lot of things. The old lady in white work clothes saw Qiu Yi walk in and smiled and said, "What medicine do you want? Are you sick?"

Qiu Yi smiled and called out, "Auntie Zhang, come get a bottle of safflower oil."

"Oh my! The boy is jumping around all day and night without paying attention!" Aunt Zhang scolded and found a bottle of medicine: "Keep quiet for the time being!"

There was a faint smell of traditional Chinese medicine in her nostrils. Tao Luanxi was led all the way. She watched quietly as Qiu Yi took the medicine, thanked the boss, and turned around to take her home.

"To your house?"

Qiu Yi nodded: "I'll give you some medicine."

Tao Luanxi just realized the reason why Qiu Yi bought safflower oil, and an unknown emotion surged in her heart. Tao Luanxi lowered her eyes, but she had already decided not to continue to tangle with him.

The hand that had been held obediently moved. Qiu Yi turned around and saw Tao Luanxi with a troubled look on his face: "No, I can do it myself when I get home."

Qiu Yi didn't make it difficult for him. He nodded and handed the medicine to Tao Luanxi, but Tao Luanxi didn't take it: "I should have it at home."

The two of them remained in a stalemate for a long time. Tao Luanxi watched the light in Qiu Yi's eyes gradually disappear, and felt inexplicably uneasy.

Am I being a bit reckless?

"Tao Luanxi."

"kindness?"

"Is it so hard for you to be with me?"

Tao Luanxi couldn't answer. After a long pause, he said in a low voice: "No..."

Before he finished speaking, Qiu Yi's big hand gently stroked his temples. Qiu Yi smiled quietly and lonely: "If that's the case, I won't embarrass you."

Tao Luanxi stared at Qiu Yi's smiling face in a daze, and for no reason she recalled the first time she saw her silly girl [Gouzi] sitting in a cardboard box and looking at her pitifully.

Tao Luanxi recalled how heartbroken she was at that time, and she hugged her silly girl and said firmly to Tao's father and mother, "If they don't raise this dog today, I will not go home!"

Qiu Yi's thumb brushed lightly against Tao Luanxi's ear, and he quickly withdrew his hand and prepared to leave. But before he could take a step, the corner of his clothes was grabbed.

Tao Luanxi's ears turned red and she pretended to be nonchalant and said, "My stomach still hurts a little. Can I go to your house to apply medicine?"

Five minutes later, Tao Luanxi walked into Qiu Yi's house for the second time. The first thing he did was to go straight to the balcony and retrieve the teddy bear socks that he had forgotten at his house last time.

But the balcony was empty. Tao Luanxi looked around but couldn't find her socks.

"What are you looking for?"

Tao Luanxi tilted her head: "Where are my socks?"

Qiu Yi pointed to his bedroom and said, "Put it away when you're done."

Tao Luanxi followed him into the bedroom and opened the drawer of the closet. Inside the white socks rolled up into a cylinder, a brown cartoon bear was particularly eye-catching.

Tao Luanxi quickly grabbed the socks and stuffed them into her pocket, and explained with a confused look in her eyes: "These socks were bought by my mother."

Qiu Yi raised his eyebrows: "Oh."

There was no questioning or ridicule, but Tao Luanxi always felt that this guy had something else to say, and no matter how he thought about it, he felt that something was wrong.

"Where's the medicine?" Tao Luanxi stretched out his hand, got it ready and left quickly!

Qiu Yi raised his chin and said, "The tea table is in the living room."

Tao Luanxi was about to go to the bathroom with the medicine in hand, but before she could take a step, Qiu Yi pulled her back and asked, "You do it yourself?"

Tao Luanxi blinked, then said incredulously: "You're still planning on coming?!"

Qiu Yi had already seen the word "pervert" in the other party's surprised eyes, and shrugged his shoulders with a frown on his face: "I don't mean anything else, it's just, do you know how to use it yourself?"

Tao Luanxi was silent. Apart from preparing for physical education classes, he had never taken the initiative to do any exercise in private, and he rarely had any bruises on his body.

"It will only be effective if the blood clots are massaged away. It will be painful. Are you sure you can do it alone?" Qiu Yi added.

Tao Luanxi hesitated.

Qiu Yi drank water and waited leisurely for a long time before Tao Luanxi slowly put the safflower oil into his hand.

Tao Luanxi raised her eyes and glared at him: "Just apply the medicine, don't think about anything else!"

Qiu Yi nodded: "Just applying medicine."

By the way, I added in my mind that I really have no say on whether I want to do something else or not.
