45. At this point, the rival in love can only break up to ensure safety.
After living for over ten years.
Xia Changyu, from childhood to adulthood, has always followed the principle of protecting girls, which is a very reasonable thing.
But today, at this moment?
He has become the one who needs protecting, and this indescribable feeling makes Xia Changyu feel a sense of affection and joy towards the girl in front of him.
“She is a good girl.”
“She really is very good.”
“Just seeing her makes me feel incredibly happy.”
But, the story isn’t over!
Xia Changyu is here to protect Gu Xiaoxue, to let her leave first.
How could he let Lin Yibai fall into danger?
He is not a superhero, and he truly does get hurt in a fight.
Well, what if he gets hurt a little more?
This time, the feeling is completely different.
If Gu Xiaoxue stayed out of helplessness because of a girlfriend, then…
Xia Changyu feels that if more injuries come from protecting the girl in front of him, he would willingly accept them!
“Where did that stinky woman come from? Get away from me…”
Lian Haifeng, in a fit of rage, stood up in pain, nearly losing his sanity.
He charged toward Lin Yibai.
But how could Xia Changyu let that happen? He already said he was willing to take more harm for the girl in front of him.
And so, he faced them head-on.
But a person who is already injured cannot contend against three or four strong men, can they?
He heard Lin Yibai let out a slight sigh, then say: “I say, are you stupid?”
“I just don’t want you to get hurt.”
“Enough, I don’t want to hear those useless things.”
“Uh?” Lin Yibai was slightly confused, as the girl in front of her seemed not to care about him. She grabbed his shirt and urged, “What are you frozen for? Run!”
Winning or losing in a fight, what is there to be proud of?
The most important thing in life is to ensure one’s own safety. Lin Yibai took out her cheap, plastic-feeling phone from her pocket.
Then she accurately threw it at Lian Haifeng’s face, causing him to immediately spew out a stream of blood from his nose, yet it only made him more ferocious.
Fortunately, she managed to buy a few seconds of time.
Lin Yibai grabbed Xia Changyu and ran toward the alley outside.
This even made Xia Changyu’s mood a bit strange. He had a good family background and a good upbringing, and such street brawls would never happen in his life.
But now…
This feeling is quite mysterious, you know?
After all, when has he experienced such excitement!
Just when Lian Haifeng and his gang were about to catch up to them, Lin Yibai’s calculated savior finally showed up: “Stop, police, don’t move.”
What, police?
Lian Haifeng’s brain short-circuited for a moment, as if a song ‘Iron Window Tears’ started playing in his head!
To run, or not to run, that is the question.
Although his legs had begun to go weak, the remaining rationality urged him to turn around and flee immediately.
But,
The meddling girl’s words completely crushed his delusion: “Just catch one; they know each other… later, the escapees will accumulate more charges!”
Lian Haifeng: Damn it!
Outside the alley, Gu Xiaoxue and Yang Yueping felt a chill in their hearts.
How could the police show up?
This is really over now!
“Let’s go, let’s go!” Yang Yueping decisively urged a few people to leave quickly, saying, “From now on, we don’t know Lian Haifeng and the others.”
“Ping Jie, he’s not your boyfriend.”
“Bah!” Yang Yueping snorted coldly and said, “What boyfriend? I don’t know him… And once we get back to the hotel, let’s act like we didn’t see anything. If the police ask, we’ll just say we encountered a robbery.”
“Ping Jie, are you giving up on your boyfriend?”
“What boyfriend?” Yang Yueping snorted again and continued, “I don’t have a boyfriend.”
“Hiss~~”
You’re not just giving up on a boyfriend; you’re wishing him dead!
Anyway, the outcome has long been determined.
If no incident occurs, then this is just a case of her testing Xia Changyu by beating him up for no reason.
An incident?
Of course, that wouldn’t concern the sisters!
They timidly returned to the hotel.
Lin Yibai and Xia Changyu, including Lian Haifeng and the others, were all taken to the police station.
Lin Yibai’s situation was easily resolved; she directly said, “… I reported the hit-and-run, but I didn’t see who hit me. Looking back now, it’s not a big deal… As for what happened in the narrow alley, I was merely in a moment of panic. I was genuinely afraid they would beat someone to death, so I climbed over the wall to help.”
Great, she freed herself from all responsibility. Whether it was righteous indignation or not didn’t matter, just as long as it didn’t lead to a world of trouble.
Next up was Xia Changyu and Lian Haifeng’s group.
Among them, Lian Haifeng’s issues were especially serious.
Xia Changyu made a statement, saying, “I took my girlfriend down the alley, and then we encountered them. They not only wanted to harass my girlfriend but also tried to rob us and threatened to beat me.”
Multiple charges, Lian Haifeng and his gang are probably doomed!
During the statement-taking, the group was split up.
When he walked out of the police station, he found Lin Yibai had been waiting for a long time.
Xia Changyu felt a surge of joy, saying, “Hey… um, Lin Baiyi, you, hello!”
Baiyi are the words you used to call her?
Lin Yibai rolled her eyes. She had prepared a bunch of sharp and sarcastic remarks to deal with this stinky rival in love.
But, the words stuck in her throat.
After all, they weren’t particularly close, so there was no need to entangle too much with a stinky rival.
Seeing that Xia Changyu was fine,
Lin Yibai was ready to leave.
But the latter seemed anxious; he wanted to spend more time with the girl in front of him.
So, he quickly found a topic and, in a moment of urgency, said, “By the way, my girlfriend apologized to you. I hope you don’t take it to heart.” He really still wanted to say some good words for his girlfriend.
Lin Yibai frowned: “Apologize?”
Xia Changyu explained, “It was about the exhibition that day and the complaints they made about you.”
Lin Yibai raised her hands and said, “That’s really a bit strange. Regarding what happened at the exhibition and the complaints, I didn’t take it to heart. Though I said I didn’t want to accept their apology, I never received any apology, so please don’t spread any nonsense, okay? Because I really don’t understand what you’re talking about!”
Xia Changyu: …
Xia Changyu was stunned for a moment, but in the blink of an eye, he seemed to understand everything.
Because there were only two possibilities.
Either Lin Yibai was lying.
Or his girlfriend, Gu Xiaoxue, was lying to him, claiming she had apologized when she didn’t.
“I…”
Xia Changyu felt extremely ashamed.
His face turned beet red.
It turns out, Gu Xiaoxue never apologized and was a habitual liar.
