Qin Mi took a piece of meat from the boiling pot and put it in her mouth: "Chu Ci, was that man just now your ex-boyfriend?"
Han Xi glanced at Chu Ci and diverted the topic with a slight smile: "Qin Mi, when did you meet Fu Bin? He’s so tight-lipped he never told us."
"Today is our first day of dating."
Qin Mi laughed heartily, answering without the slightest hesitation. Orıginal content can be found at 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵✦𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮✦𝓷𝓮𝓽
"Does that make us the third wheel?"
"Not at all, I’m so happy to know all three of you."
After dinner, Chu Ci said she was feeling a bit tired and went home first.
After everyone parted ways, Li Manman suddenly remembered that Dijue’s jewelry collection had the new season launched recently, and insisted on dragging Han Xi to have a look.
Han Xi originally wanted to go home, but couldn’t resist Li Manman’s persistent coaxing and had to follow her.
They parked the car in the mall’s underground parking lot and took the elevator together.
Li Manman took Han Xi’s arm and went straight to Dijue’s counter.
"Hello Miss, our new season’s key products are already on shelves. These all suit you very well," the shop assistant introduced warmly.
Li Manman pointed at a blue gemstone bracelet with diamonds in the window: "Please take this out so I can try it."
The shop assistant carefully took the bracelet from the display window and helped Li Manman put it on her wrist.
"How is it, does it look good?" Li Manman shook her wrist to show it to Han Xi.
Actually, Han Xi isn’t very interested in jewelry, but she looked and then said: "Hmm, not bad."
"Nobody move, this is a robbery."
A rough voice came from behind, and everyone present was scared stiff.
Three or four robbers, all wearing black masks, showing only their eyes, were holding guns.
"Hurry up and give me all the jewelry, don’t move, don’t shout, and don’t even think about calling the cops."
The leader of the group swept the room with a menacing glare, wielding a gun.
Li Manman was so scared that her legs were shaking; she clutched Han Xi’s hand and asked quietly with tears in her eyes: "We’re not going to die here, are we?"
"No, as long as we don’t move, they won’t kill us."
From behind the counter, a shop assistant triggered the alarm, and the piercing siren echoed through the hall, causing panic as everyone scrambled to flee.
Cries mixed with chaotic footsteps echoed above the hall, while Han Xi held onto Li Manman’s trembling hand, remaining in place.
It’s precisely at times like these that one must not move recklessly; the doors have already been locked by the robbers from inside, and there’s nowhere to run.
A robber fired a random shot, instantly silencing the chaotic crowd, no one dared to move a step.
A well-dressed man was unfortunately shot in the abdomen, collapsing with a pale face as thick blood seeped through his clothes.
The robber, furious and embarrassed, shouted viciously at the people in the hall, "Do you all want to die? If the cops come, you’ll all be buried with me."
Han Xi looked at the man on the ground, anxiously taking a breath: "Can I take a look at his injuries? He keeps bleeding."
Li Manman tugged at Han Xi’s arm, signaling with her eyes not to meddle.
Although Han Xi was scared to death, she couldn’t sit idly by and do nothing.
A robber approached and pointed a gun at Han Xi’s head: "Who do you think you are? How dare you meddle."
