Chapter 1: Angels on One Side, Satan on the Other 01
As the evening approached and the sky gradually darkened, in a small alley in the far corner of the city, a girl wearing a uniform with the word "Aurora" printed on it was knocking down a burly man who was trying to attack her with one punch, and then she swept her back leg and knocked down another burly man elegantly and neatly. The last burly man who was about to attack was frightened by the scene and took two steps back, screaming and running away.
The two boys hiding in the corner, with disheveled clothes and looking like they had been beaten up, rushed over to the girl with great admiration, their eyes sparkling:
"Boss, you are so handsome!"
"Boss, we will follow you forever!"
…
Please do not doubt your eyes. That's right, this is not a martial arts movie, nor an action blockbuster, nor a dark campus drama. This is a scene that happened right next to me, and the girl with cool and neat skills and awe-inspiring manner is me! Hahaha! The two boys who are surrounding me and showing their courtesy are my new brothers, Douding and Shouhou.
"But, Boss, you don't have to be so ruthless. The other party is just a junior high school student..."
Just when I was proudly immersed in the bubbles of fantasy flying all over the sky and couldn't extricate myself, Douding tugged at the corner of my clothes and pointed at a big man who was lying on the ground next to me, holding his stomach and screaming "ouch ouch" - well, the big man was my fantasy. The three people who had just fought with me were actually little boys in their teens. I was already in high school and was more than a head taller than them.
"So what if they're junior high school students? Humph, let alone junior high school students, even if they're elementary school students, I won't show mercy if they fall into my hands." Douding's bubble of fantasy was punctured by my words. I put my hands on my hips in dissatisfaction, raised my eyebrows and shouted at the little boy who was curled up on the ground and screaming, "Go back and tell your boss that this Fenghuo Street is my Ye Ye's territory. If you dare to make trouble again, be careful or I'll punch you and send you to Java to sell sweet potatoes, humph!"
"Boss, it seems dishonorable to beat up elementary school students, right?"
As soon as I finished speaking arrogantly, Douding asked me back with a strange look on his face. Even the skinny monkey who was so timid that he didn't dare to walk alone in broad daylight looked at me with a curious expression and said, "Yeah, boss, why do we have to go to Java to sell sweet potatoes? Is it a joke?"
Go! What is this? Two conscienceless bastards, don't you see who I was venting my anger for? Humph!
"If you two weren't so useless and were blackmailed by junior high school students, how could I risk being kicked away by my mom's whirlwind kick and run over to fight with them while delivering a takeaway? Who am I fighting for?" I put my hands on my hips, and yelled at the two of them viciously with a look of disappointment on my face, but as soon as I got to this point, I suddenly remembered something else, and I couldn't say the next words.
Yes, I am on my way to deliver food. Before I left, my mother told me fiercely that I must deliver it before 6 o'clock, otherwise I will have no dinner, and the food must be delivered to Huacheng Street, two kilometers away from here...
I raised my wrist to check my watch, which clearly showed 5:50, a time that made me sweat all over. My mother's angry face and strong thighs comparable to those of an athlete appeared in my mind involuntarily. I jumped up almost reflexively, yelling "You killed me", then grabbed the takeout box that I had thrown aside and rushed out of the alley.
Running to Huacheng Street in 10 minutes - wow, this is an impossible task. My mom will really not give me food. Thinking of this, my stomach started to growl and my steps slowed down.
So, in order to have dinner, I had to take a shortcut and turn into an alley that I never usually go through.
Although I moved to this city a few years ago with my mother who runs a snack stand, I am not as familiar with the city roads as Douding and Shouhou, but my years of experience as a food deliveryman has made me more sensitive to the roads than ordinary people. I know clearly that in a big city like Yuhua City, hooligans will gather in the alleys. It is very irrational to go through the alleys to take shortcuts. For example, if the junior high school students who blackmailed Douding and Shouhou had not taken that alley, I would not have been able to block them. But I am alone now. If I meet a hooligans who are more powerful than me, I will be dead...
Which is more terrifying, the gangsters who are stronger than me or my mother's tornado kick? This question went around in my mind, and in the end my mother's tornado kick won, so I had to grit my teeth and move forward.
This alley was not particularly narrow. It was like the back of a big hotel. From time to time, there were some new and beautiful tableware and decorations that were thrown away in the trash cans on both sides of the alley. I smacked my lips and lamented how corrupt the rich were while running forward. I didn't pay attention to my feet and was suddenly tripped by something. I almost fell to the ground with the takeaway box.
"What bad luck..."
I grumbled as I stood firm, looking back for what tripped me, wanting to kick it a few times to vent my anger, but it would have been fine if I hadn't turned around. Once I turned around, I was so scared that I almost screamed on the spot.
There were some messy papers scattered on the relatively clean stone pavement. Next to the papers was a man in a black windbreaker, lying motionless at my feet. It was him who tripped me just now, no doubt about it. However, I, a living person, walked over him and kicked him, but he still didn't move...
Oh my god! Could it be that... he is already dead? Did I kick a dead body? Ahhhh——
"Hey..." I tried hard to suppress the urge to scream, squatted down bravely, and shook his arm, "Hey, are you...are you still alive?"
Okay, I admit this question is stupid. Why lying on the ground? And if he is really dead, how can he answer me? Woohoo... Yes, I was scared out of my mind.
Of course, the man didn't answer me, but suddenly turned over, raised his arms and hugged my waist tightly. He was very strong, and I was completely defenseless and was pushed to the ground by him. He leaned his head on my neck and rubbed it back and forth before he calmed down.
"ah!"
I was so scared that I closed my eyes and screamed loudly, but then I heard a steady breathing sound next to my ear, and his face pressed against my neck was warm...
Eh? A living person? Fell asleep? Hugging me like a teddy bear and fell asleep?
Please, it's already dark and you're still sleeping in the alley, it's going to scare people to death! I took a long breath, pushed his face away from my neck, and looked carefully at this weirdo sleeping in the alley. I unexpectedly found that he was a boy about my age, and he had a very good-looking face, with three-dimensional facial features like a mixed-race child, very white and delicate skin, a straight nose, thin lips slightly pursed, eyes closed, and sleeping soundly.
It was just strange that his brows were knitted tightly, as if he was having a nightmare. His long eyelashes trembled slightly, and he hummed softly, then tightened his arms around my waist and rubbed his face against my neck.
This guy...did something bad happen to him? He looked so pitiful when he was asleep, like a wounded animal. It was hard to push him away.
“Hey…” Although I was annoyed at being pinned to the ground like a teddy bear, I couldn’t help but soften my heart when I saw his expression, and I pushed him less hard. “Hey, let me go, I have things to do. You can’t sleep here, you’ll catch a cold. Go home if you want to sleep, sleeping here will scare people.”
While I was trying to persuade him quietly, I reached out to pry his hands away from my waist. But this guy was very strange. He still had a lot of strength even when he was asleep. No matter how hard I tried, his hands were still tightly around my waist, like steel welded together, and I couldn't pry them apart.
"Hey, are you doing this on purpose? I'm warning you, let go quickly, or I'll be rude to you!" Time passed by, and it was almost 6 o'clock. I started to get anxious, and I tried harder and harder to pry his hands apart. But the harder I tried, the tighter he held me, and I couldn't pry them apart.
"Ahhh! Bastard, let go!" I screamed in exasperation, and wanted to open my mouth to bite him, but when I lowered my head, my mouth could only touch his face, and the biting action immediately became very ambiguous, just like a kiss. And he had a nice grassy scent on his body, and my face unconsciously turned red before I opened my mouth.
Oh, God, how could I be so miserable? I seemed to have seen my dear dinner spread its white wings and fly up into the sky, getting farther and farther away from me, while my mother's tornado kick was getting closer and closer to me...
Woo woo woo, someone come save me...
