When Chen Xiao got stuck in the alley, he wondered what could make him run into so many bad things at once?!
First off, let’s not talk about how he bought vegetables that ended up being fake but when he looked around the stall was gone; he could only bear the pain and buy it again. And then when he was at the supermarket, the alarm went off, who knows what fucking idiot threw stolen items in his bag! Chen Xiao really thought he could apply for the Top Ten Most Unlucky of the Year Award. And then – just as he was talking a shortcut to easily go through the alley that shortened the route home, he happened upon a robbery, for the first time ever in his life!
He took a deep breath. He didn’t know if it was because of the rain or the fear, but his hand was shaking a little, thinking, the rain is so loud, if I called out, probably no one would hear it, right? There were only two people opposite him, their faces covered by a cloth and their knives shining bright in their hands pointing at Chen Xiao. He hesitated, knowing he had a poor chance of winning and that it was more important to preserve his life.
“I, I only have a little money on me, you can take it.” He tossed the wallet straight out and it was caught by the other side. “Just let me go now……”
One guy was staring at him, while the other turned out his wallet.
The man spoke out in a loud voice, “Fuck, why is there so little money?! Not enough to eat a meal…….” Chen Xiao didn’t quite understand, he only knew that he probably wouldn’t be able to leave safely. Who knew he was going to get robbed?! If he knew, he would have brought more money!
He took advantage of the moment when the other guy went to check his wallet, swinging his umbrella at them. He ran away with all his strength but without even taking two steps, he was thrown to the ground by a heavy force. Before he could open his eyes, his hair was pulled and he was slammed into the ground twice. The warm fluid flowing over his brow, but it wasn’t the rain, right? Soon after, he was kicked twice in the stomach, he grimaced through the pain and thought, Do you two fucking know Laozi was going back to cook those vegetables! How are you going to compensate for Gu MengYang eating late?!!
So he stopped caring and when he caught something in his mouth, he bit down. Feeling the hands pressing him down go loose, he jumped up towards the man in front of him and kicked him in a flurry like a mad man.
“Let’s see how you steal! Let’s see how you were raised poorly!”
The other side was probably stunned by his appearance so, for a moment, he didn’t fight back. Without saying anything else, Chen Xiao ran, thinking it was useful to act crazy.
When he was finally standing on his doorstep, Chen Xiao thought it was a miracle he was still alive. His whole body was tired and sore and he was drenched from the rain. He just wanted to lay down and sleep as soon as he closed his eyes. The blood from the wound on his forehead was still trickling down, mixed with the rain water, so his appearance was probably pretty frightening.
He smelled a scent drifting out of Gu MengYang’s house, oh…..he must have cooked for himself….. Chen Xiao looked down at his empty hands, thinking about how hard it had been to pick out good ingredients and how it was shameful to waste food. His wallet was gone too, though there had only been a few yuan in there. But the wallet itself was worth hundreds and, what’s worse, the dinner bearing his hopes had been smashed to pieces……
Chen Xiao stared at Gu MengYang’s house. He wiped his face and saw his hands were covered with bloody water. He didn’t know how to handle feeling like he was wronged, more wronged than when he was dumped by He JinFei. Why am I always the one no one loves and no one prefers over others, even though I always fawn over people to try to win them over? Why can’t you like me too?
After standing for a moment, he turned dejectedly to open the door to his own house. He touched his pocket and luckily the key was still there. He thought, finally the heavens gave me a break.
“Chen Xiao?!”
The door behind him was suddenly opened and Gu MengYang’s voice entered his ears, “Why did you come back so late? Did you eat? Eat with me if you haven’t eaten.”
……Fuck! What kind of tear-jerker story can I use right now! Chen Xiao choked on his words. Not looking back, he opened his mouth to speak hoarsely, “I just ate downstairs, you eat on your own.”
“Oh……” There was a hint of loss in Gu MengYang’s tone. Then he added right away, “Then you come over and we’ll watch TV together. I bought a sweet watermelon.”
Chen Xiao felt like his eyes were gritty and burning, saying in a muffled voice, “I’m a little tired, I won’t go.”
He didn’t dare to stay so he opened his door and quickly went in. His front foot had only stepped over the threshold when he was pulled by the arm. He screamed at the pain, “Tsk- ouch ouch ouch!!!”
Gu MengYang was startled and quickly released his hand, then he turned Chen Xiao around. He had thought it was strange Chen Xiao refused to turn around and that his whole body was so drenched. Then his sharp eyes had caught a few drops of blood on the ground and his heart had suddenly sunk. But, he didn’t think Chen Xiao would be hurt this much, half his face was covered with blood and there was a big open gash on his forehead. The bloody water was in his hair and there was also gritty, sandy mud. He felt like he had been slapped hard. In addition to anger, there was an emotion he couldn’t name; in any case, his sanity was almost burned away.
“What happened……”
Chen Xiao looked up at Gu MengYang in a daze. His eyelashes were clotted together with blood and he could barely even open his eyes, but he was a little frightened by the dark expression on the other’s face, a kind he had never seen on Gu MengYang, who had always been gentle and shy. It was like he was a different person.
“It, it’s nothing……..I was robbed…..”
“Where did that happen.” Gu MengYang’s voice was still cold.
“It was the alley diagonally across from downstairs, why do you want to know?” It couldn’t be he’s angry with me? Or wants to drag me to the police to report the case?!
“……it’s nothing. You come up first, I’ll carry you to the hospital.” Gu MengYang squatted down halfway, motioning for him.
“I’m fine…..besides, this little injury, no reason to go to the hospital……”
“Up!!”
Chen Xiao didn’t finish his sentence, scared to speak by Gu MengYang’s scolding. He was shivering a little bit, so he had to carefully lay on the other’s back, only daring to hold his shoulders.
“Gu MengYang, I’ll get your clothes dirty.”
“It doesn’t matter.”
“Your food’s all cooked, it’ll be cold when you get back…….aren’t you hungry? Why don’t you go back inside first, I’ll go to the hospital on my own.”
“What’s with the crap!”
“Ah…..Gu MengYang, why are you so arrogant today, you dare to be fierce at me.”
“…….sorry.”
“But, it’s really manly.”
“……”
Oh, oh, oh! The ears are red again! Chen Xiao suddenly felt as if the pain in his body had eased a little. He raised his hand and pinched the little red earlobe. The man beneath him shrank his neck and his ears flushed even more.
His eyes squinted closed in a smile and he laughed silently. His hands left Gu MengYang’s shoulders and wrapped around his neck tightly.
“Yip! Yip! Turn right ahead!”
“……Don’t mess around! Settle down!”
“Okay…….”
