"What do we do?" Ban Lin looked anxiously at Xu Nianhua; she had never encountered such a situation before and felt scared.
Xu Nianhua reassured her and was about to call the police, but the next moment, seeing a pile of CDs on the ground, she stopped in her tracks. She picked up a nearby bag and packed all the CDs into it. She hadn’t paid much attention before, but now inspecting them closely, how could Xu Nianhua not know what Ji Shuqin was selling?
Xu Nianhua quickly packed all the discs and, along with Ban Lin, started walking towards the alley. Before they reached it, they saw the men who were previously arrogantly fighting running with swollen noses and bruised faces.
"Yicheng, you’re really incredible!"
Xu Nian’an praised as just moments ago, he hadn’t even had a chance to act; Pei Yicheng had swiftly brought down those menacing-looking men.
Ban Chuan, who had arrived a step too late, witnessed Pei Yicheng’s moves under the dim alley light and the bright moonlight; it was like watching a blockbuster scene on TV, which stunned him.
Ban Chuan thought to himself.
"Are you okay?" Pei Yicheng asked, looking at the man timidly hiding in the corner.
If Pei Yicheng hadn’t heard that it was Nianhua’s cousin, he would have been too lazy to deal with these issues.
"I’m fine, I’m fine, thank you, you guys are really good people," Ji Shuqin said excitedly, thinking he was about to get beaten up again today, not expecting someone would come to his rescue.
Ji Shuqin said as he started walking out.
"Don’t go." Xu Nian’an called out as he watched him walking away, "Ji Shuqin, are you Ji Shuqin? Is your dad Ji Lin?"
Ji Shuqin looked defensively at Xu Nian’an and Pei Yicheng, silently edging toward the corner, wondering if he had just left the wolf’s den to enter a tiger’s lair.
"Ji Lin is my uncle," Xu Nian’an said, seeing his defensive posture, knowing he had misunderstood, "My mother is Ji Ying."
"You’re my aunt’s son?" Ji Shuqin looked uncertainly at Xu Nian’an and asked, "Are you Xu Nian’an? Studying in Ningbei?"
Although he didn’t go to South City during the new year, he later heard from his parents that his aunt’s family was doing increasingly well, and both Xu Nianhua and Xu Nian’an had been admitted to Ningbei University.
"Yes," Xu Nian’an nodded affirmatively, saying, "How did they end up... beating you?"
"Well..." Ji Shuqin looked awkwardly at Xu Nian’an.
"Second Brother, are you guys okay?" Xu Nianhua and Ban Lin walked into the dim alley and she called out.
"Little sister, we’re fine, don’t come in," Xu Nian’an was about to quickly walk out when
Pei Yicheng already stepped ahead to meet Xu Nianhua, his deep voice sounding, "It’s dark, watch your step."
"Are you all right?" Xu Nianhua surveyed Pei Yicheng and others, seeing them all unharmed standing there, she finally breathed a sigh of relief. In the dim alley, Pei Yicheng’s figure appeared even taller, calming her anxious heart instantly.
"We’re fine," Pei Yicheng stood beside Xu Nianhua, side by side, looking remarkably compatible, giving a feeling of a match made in heaven.
"Is that your sister? Xu Nianhua?" Ji Shuqin inquired.
The one Xu Nian’an called little sister could only be Xu Nianhua, who had been admitted to Ningbei University with him.
