Chapter 11
After hesitating for a moment, he still opened his mouth to speak.
“Mr Gu, I think I saw Miss Lu.”
Gu Shiyan looked out of the car window.
He saw Lu Miao, dressed in mint green sportswear, sitting on a small stool next to a snack stand on the street corner, holding a steaming white and tender little bun, which she was eating.
The fresh green color in the bustling food street made people’s eyes light up, and even the air seemed to be fresher.
The refreshing green color stood out among the bustling street, and even the air seemed fresher.
Gu Shijian thought she was still sleeping in her room, but she had left early. And it seemed that even Shen Qinghe didn’t know.
His little friend had once again challenged his preconceptions.
The corners of Gu Shiyan’s lips curled up. His thin lips parted slightly as he said, “Stop the car.”
Baili drove the car to the side of the road and slowly stopped.
Gu Shiyan looked at the little girl through the car window.
Lu Miao eating was a sight to behold. It wasn’t that her movements were particularly captivating, but rather that she was delicate and natural, yet still managed to make people crave what she was eating.
Even Gu Shijian felt a rare pang of hunger.
Outside the car, Lu Miao seemed to sense someone watching her from inside the car. She lifted her eyelids slightly, glanced over, then looked down again and continued eating, seemingly unconcerned.
She was really sharp.
Gu Shiyan raised his eyebrows slightly and pushed the door open to get out of the car.
Baili hurriedly reminded him, ” Mr Gu, the flight is at 7:30. ”
“Ask Feifei to change to the next flight.”
Gu Shiyan raised his long legs and walked to her side in a few steps.
He was wearing a high-end custom-made suit, which was incompatible with the greasy stalls on the tables and stools on the street.
The people who were buying breakfast around them subconsciously took a few steps to the side, and even their breathing became lighter.
Gu Shiyan bent down. His long fingers pulled out a small black stool and sat down beside Lu Miao.
She looked at the breakfast in front of Lu Miao and turned to the boss.
“Boss, give me the same breakfast as hers.”
His handsome face made the lady boss ‘ears turn red.
She stammered, “Okay …” Alright, right away.”
The lady boss stole a glance at him and wiped her hands. She then hurriedly brought the breakfast over.
A bowl of sweet and delicate tofu pudding and a few steaming steamed dumplings.
Before even taking a bite, the aroma of the food had already wafted into Gu Shijian’s nose.
Beside him, Lu Miao lowered her head and focused on eating. Gu Shiyan did not speak either.
Ancient people said that beauty was delicious, and while Gu Shijian didn’t necessarily believe that, he found himself eating almost half a bowl of tofu pudding just by sitting next to her and watching her eat.
” Return my wallet. Thief! Everyone, catch the thief! ”
On the other side of the food street, a middle-aged woman in her forties or fifties shouted anxiously as she chased a man.
However, when the surrounding crowd saw the man’s fierce gaze, they quickly covered their wallets and hid far away.
They were afraid that they might be targetted next.
Someone hesitated and wanted to step forward, but was immediately pulled over by the people beside him.
“Mind your own business.”
“That’s right. These people all have gangs. Be careful not to get into trouble.”
The people beside him also advised softly.
“That’s my son’s life-saving money. Everyone, please help.”
The auntie anxiously shouted at the people in front of her, but no one stood up.
Her physical strength was not as good as the thief’s. Seeing that the person was getting further and further away, the auntie cried anxiously.
Soon, the thief had already reached the food stall where they were.
Lu Miao ate the bun in her hand slowly and stretched her long legs to the side.
The thief couldn’t dodge in time and tripped on the ground.
Lu Miao did not even blink. ” Give her back her wallet. ”
Only then did the thief realize that she had done it on purpose. He quickly got up from the ground and scolded her fiercely.
“Little slut, mind your own business.”
After saying that, he turned around and wanted to leave.
Gu Shiyan’s face was expressionless, but his eyes darkened.
He sat opposite Lu Miao, a table away from the man.
Lu Miao calmly swallowed the last mouthful of steamed bun in her mouth. She raised her hand and took a tissue from the table in front of her. She wiped her hands and stood up.
“Stop right there.”
The thief saw that she was a thin and weak little girl and did not take her seriously at all.
“I see you looking to…”
Before he could say the word ‘die’, Lu Miao turned around and kicked him in the abdomen.
Her movements were steady and accurate. The men watching from afar could not help but feel a chill in their stomachs. They hurriedly raised their hands to cover it.
Lu Miao grabbed the thief’s wrist with lightning speed and turned him to her back. At the same time, she bent her elbow and smashed it heavily on the back of his neck.
After a series of actions, the thief did not even have the chance to cry out in pain before he fainted on the ground.
Lu Miao bent down and reached into his shirt pocket to take out the wallet that she had stolen.
The middle-aged woman ran over, panting.
She grabbed her hand and thanked her repeatedly. ” Thank you, thank you, thank you, young lady. My son is still in the hospital. This is his life-saving money. If it were stolen, he would die. Thank you, thank you so much.”
As the auntie spoke, she was about to kneel down in front of her.
Lu Miao reached out to hold her and handed her wallet. ” Take it well. There’s a bank 100 meters ahead. It’s safer to store it on your card. Even hospitals can swipe their cards now.”
“Alright, I’ll go right away.”
The middle-aged woman took a few steps before turning back hurriedly. ” Miss, what’s your name? When I save my son, I’ll definitely bring him along to thank you properly. ”
“No need.” Lu Miao shook her head.
The auntie was worried that the money would be stolen again. After thanking Lu Miao repeatedly, she hurried to the bank.
Lu Miao was almost done eating. She turned her head to Gu Shiyan and said, “Let your people help deal with the rest.”
She wasn’t worried about the gang’s revenge, but there were a few phones in the thief’s pocket. They must have been stolen too.
The corners of Gu Shiyan’s lips curled up. “What are you going to do to thank me?”
Lu Miao expressionlessly reached into her pocket and pulled out her phone, dialing the emergency number.
Gu Shiyan chuckled helplessly. He got up and held her hand. ” Okay, I understand. ”
His fingertips were cold as if they had just come out of an ice cave and had no warmth whatsoever.
Lu Miao reached back and grabbed his wrist, but his pulse was so weak that it was almost imperceptible.
That day at the mall, she had spent a lot of energy to save his life, but it seemed to have had little effect.
Gu Shijian leaned down and whispered in her ear, “Do you want to feel my heartbeat again?”
Lu Miao looked up at him and replied, “You still have thirty-six hours.”
