"Come with me."
I kept nodding and followed behind him.
After turning a few corners, we entered a room.
There were also some cardboard boxes and plastic bottles piled up in the corner, which he must have picked up earlier.
He sat down directly on the pile of cardboard, and I followed him and sat down too.
With Qin Bai by my side, I felt a sense of security, but tears still kept falling.
"Can I borrow your phone to make a call?" I said, my voice choked with emotion.
"I don't have a cell phone."
Hearing this, I hugged my knees, buried my head in them, and cried even harder.
"Hey, stop crying. Aren't there still people arresting you? Do you want to attract their attention?"
I immediately raised my head and dared not make a sound.
After a while, my emotions finally calmed down, and my tense nerves relaxed a lot.
"It's a good thing I met you, otherwise I wouldn't know what to do."
"It's nothing, you helped me last time too."
I asked curiously, "Did they bully you again later?"
"I'm used to it." Qin Bai's voice was flat, devoid of any emotion.
"Then why don't you accept my kindness?" I asked the question that had puzzled me for a long time.
Qin Bai looked into my innocent eyes and pondered for a moment.
"Because I can't repay it, there are some things I can't take."
"I don't need you to pay me back."
He shook his head with a sneer.
"Everything has a price tag, so if you take it, you have to return it with something of equal value."
"You wouldn't understand how someone like me thinks, so it's impossible for us to be friends."
"When the rain gets a little lighter, I'll go with you to borrow a phone. Consider it repaying the favor you did for me last time."
At the time, he seemed so cold to me.
In his eyes, I was like a plague that he avoided at all costs.
Little Black came up to my feet and rubbed against my legs a few times in a friendly manner.
Is this little dog your friend?
Qin Bai's gaze softened slightly as he looked at it.
"No, it's my family."
"You still have... at home."
Just then, the sound of several people talking could be heard outside.
"Damn, that little girl actually got away. We won't have such a good chance next time."
"What a bunch of good-for-nothings. If we could kidnap Shen Muyao and take her back, the ransom we could ask for would be enough to support us for the rest of our lives."
"Boss, don't be angry. The girl who can be with Shen Muyao probably comes from a good family. It's the same if we arrest her."
"Hmph! I hope so. I just saw her run this way. She's probably inside the building. Let's go in and look for her."
Upon hearing these voices, Qin Bai suddenly stood up.
Without saying a word, he grabbed my hand and said, "Come with me."
"They won't be able to find us if we hide here, will they?"
He said urgently, "Do you really think those people are idiots? They'll definitely find us."
Then, he dragged me out of the window and we ran outside.
Those people also heard the noise, saw the two of us, and ran out after us.
