75 -74: She is a Brave Girl_1

When Nanxi left the teahouse, she felt as if the weather outside had suddenly become blazing hot.

It was mid-May, and the heat of summer was already beginning to make itself known.

The dust and light in the air blurred Nanxi’s vision, leaving her mentally drained.

Instead of hailing a taxi to leave right away, Nanxi started walking aimlessly along the road.

She wasn’t overly familiar with the area, but nor was it entirely foreign to her.

In her memory, it seemed as though she had walked this road with Li Weihuan a few times before.

Back then, Li Weihuan was about to graduate and was filled with many beautiful hopes and dreams for the future.

He held Nanxi’s hand tightly, their fingers interlaced.

He often commented that Nanxi was too skinny, and he always had this feeling that he couldn’t grip her hand tightly enough.

He was truly afraid that he might lose her if he wasn’t careful!

Nanxi, tilting her head back to look at the tall, handsome boy, puckered her lips, “What nonsense.

Am I that easy to lose?

Even if you did, I’d just stand still and wait for you to come back and find me!”

Li Weihuan was taken aback before asking, “Nanxi, if I really did lose you, would you really stay put to wait for me?”

Nanxi considered this, before saying, “That would depend on your recent behavior.

If you’ve been good, I’ll wait.

If not, I’ll turn around and leave, ignoring you…”

But before she could finish her sentence, Li Weihuan pulled her into his arms.

Nanxi struggled a little and cried out, “Weihuan…”

Without letting go, Li Weihuan, gripping her slender waist, lamented into her ear, “Nanxi, don’t leave me standing…”

Nanxi froze in place.

Li Weihuan said, “Nanxi, promise me.

Even if I have been performing poorly recently, don’t just turn away and leave me.

I can accept any punishment, just don’t walk away from me…”

Memories are always beautiful and unadulterated, but isn’t every fond recollection tinged with a hint of pain?!

Nanxi closed her eyes and exhaled slowly.

Although she didn’t completely understand why Li Weihuan felt so insecure about her, how could she bear to hurt such a wonderful and handsome boy, let alone abandon him?

She wouldn’t.

…

Having no idea how long she’d been walking around, Nanxi felt tired.

She checked the time and saw that it was just past ten in the morning.

Yang Su called her, expressing concern about her seeming reckless.

Nanxi just laughed, “How could that be possible?

I’ve always been an optimist, never giving in to difficulties, but I can’t help feeling a bit upset.”

Nanxi said, “I’m fine, I’m just going shopping, I’ll be back soon!”

Originally, Nanxi had been aimlessly wandering around, with no real plans in mind.

However, before she knew it, she found herself in the bustling downtown area.

Given that she had nothing else to do, she decided to stroll around and perhaps buy something for her grandmother and uncle!

After hanging up the phone, Nanxi headed towards the downtown area, which was teeming with people at this hour, causing a lot of noise and confusion!

Nanxi thought about how despite this being a city full of people, everyone was a stranger to everyone else.

Casual encounters rarely led to stories or entanglements.

Therefore, finding someone who truly knew and understood you in this worldly life was incredibly rare.

What kind of fate was it that could create such an intricate, intertwined connection after multiple lifetimes?!

Nanxi organized her thoughts, trying not to overthink things.

She tightened her grip on the bag she carried on her shoulder.

Although there was nothing particularly valuable in it, downtown was known for pickpockets.

So, being cautious wouldn’t hurt.

To Nanxi’s surprise, as soon as she started being cautious, a pickpocket appeared.

However, the thief targeted not Nanxi, but the wallet of an old woman in her sixties.

The old lady had been walking a short distance in front of Nanxi, who hadn’t paid much attention to her.

Things happened so quickly that by the time Nanxi heard people shouting “Catch the thief!” a young man wearing a duckbill cap was already running towards her.

Ordinarily, like most people, she would have moved out of the way to avoid being hit.

But when she realized that the young man was the thief, she didn’t know what came over her, and instead tried to reach out and grab him…

The thief was stunned, he hadn’t expected a slender young girl to interfere when everyone else was minding their own business.

His arm was grabbed, and in his panic, he attempted to shake her off with all his might.

When that didn’t work, and seeing that someone else was about to step in and help, the thief raised his arm to strike Nanxi…

Nanxi froze, instinctively closing her eyes—

Unexpectedly, the anticipated pain didn’t come.

She felt as if she’d been steadied by someone, and the grip on her hand slackened.

Then, she heard a few cries of pain.

When she opened her eyes, the thief was clutching his arm, writhing in pain on the ground.

Standing next to the thief was a young man dressed in a suit.

The man was tall and wore a black suit that made him look slightly fierce.

His black hair was impeccably groomed, making him seem rather intimidating.

The man bent down to pick up the thief’s discarded wallet.

By this time, the old lady, who was the rightful owner of the wallet, had caught up to them.

The man turned to hand the wallet back to her, his voice cold, “You should count the money, make sure nothing’s missing!”

The old lady quickly expressed her gratitude, checked her wallet, and found everything in order, thanking the man profusely once more.

Nanxi took a deep breath and glanced at the man.

She hadn’t expected to see Mo Yan there of all places—it was downtown after all…

Who was Mo Yan?

He was the Chief Assistant to Lu Yinchu, a famous investor in H City.

Why would he appear here?

And it seemed like such a coincidence…

The sound of a police siren was heard in the distance.

Mo Yan handed the thief over to the police and briefly explained the situation before finally turning to Nanxi.

He nodded politely, “Miss Nanxi, hello!”

Nanxi: “…”

She tried to smile, “Hello, Mr.

Mo!”

Mo Yan grunted in acknowledgment and said, “Miss Nanxi, you’re a very brave girl!”

Nanxi paused, unsure of what to say.

She gave a small smile to Mo Yan, “Thank you for the compliment, I just…

happened to be there, that’s all!”

Truth be told, Nanxi felt she had been a bit intrusive.

While catching a thief was indeed a brave act, if Mo Yan hadn’t appeared when he did, she might not only have been of no help but could have gotten herself hurt.

Nanxi changed the topic, “Are you here to shop, Mr.

Mo?”

Mo Yan nodded, “I came to buy some tea.

There’s a shop around here that sells very good tea…

However, they didn’t have the variety I wanted today, so I didn’t buy any.

I was about to leave!”

He paused, and then said, “Are you leaving, Miss Nanxi?

I happen to be free, and could give you a ride!”

Nanxi shook her head, “No need, Mr.

Mo.

I can get back on my own!”

Mo Yan did not respond but gave her a deep, thoughtful look, which left Nanxi puzzled.

What was he looking at?

“Miss Nanxi, are you in trouble?” Mo Yan suddenly asked.

Nanxi was taken aback.

Trouble?

How did he know that?

She shook her head, “No, not at all!”

“You have dark circles under your eyes; you’re clearly overthinking something!” His tone was firm and leaves no room for doubt, “If you’re having any troubles, you can tell me.

I’ll help as much as I can!”

After considering his words, he felt that it was inappropriate and added, “After all, Miss Nanxi, is a partner of our boss Lu, and our acquaintance is rather rare!”

Nanxi felt a bit embarrassed.

Mo Yan was a good man, she knew that.

But she wasn’t that close to Lu Yinchu, so even if she was in trouble, she shouldn’t go to Lu Yinchu for help.

However, mentioning Lu Yinchu reminded Nanxi of something…
