Sister Liu looked very displeased. After the old man saw her ugly expression, he shrank his neck slightly and didn't dare to make any more trouble.
I mentally gave Sister Liu a big thumbs - up and silently lowered my head. Immediately, Sister Liu showed us a master - level face - changing skill.
She came over and affectionately hooked my shoulder. "In Sister Liu's opinion, you're the only friend Yan Yan has brought back in all these years. You must have some special skills. You're really good - looking."
I've been praised a lot in my life, but for some reason, this compliment made me feel weird.
"Thank you, Sister Liu."
I felt strange inside, but I couldn't show it on my face, after all, she had just helped me.
Someone beside me snorted with laughter. I turned my head and gave that guy a fierce glare.
Sister Liu probably noticed my discomfort. She immediately came over and nudged my shoulder. "Oh, you don't have to be like this. What are you unhappy about? Sister Liu and Yan Yan have been friends for so many years. Anyway, the current situation is something Sister Liu didn't expect. Stay here for a while. Sister Liu will find a good way for you to get out later."
What did she mean? So once we were here, we couldn't leave?
I looked at Yan Yan in confusion. Yan Yan explained to me that there were deep mountains and old forests all around, and we needed a car to get out.
Moreover, the place we were going to was far away from here, and there were so many people watching.
Xu Yang beside us also butted in. "Don't you know who you are? No one will touch you here, but it doesn't mean no one will touch you once you're out of this door."
It seemed that Sister Liu was really resourceful. I wondered how Yan Yan, who was so introverted, had become friends with her.
I was lost in wild thoughts when suddenly Yan Yan gently nudged my foot under the table. I shivered.
I thought to myself, big brother, you're really not cut out for this kind of action. What are you up to?
But I quickly came to my senses. Darn it, what were we doing here?
I immediately put on a smile and stood up. "Thank you, Sister Liu. By the way, where's the restroom? I'll be back soon."
Sister Liu gave me a strange look but didn't say anything. She probably noticed the little action between Yan Yan and me under the table. That Yan Yan didn't know how to be discreet at all.
After boldly blaming him, I turned to leave, but my movement suddenly halted.
A woman was staring at me menacingly. Wait, when did that girl come over?
I stood there awkwardly. The girl just stared at me.
"Hi, hello. I don't know your name yet, girl."
The girl found a seat, poured a glass of wine, and it seemed she had been watching us from some corner for a long time.
I blamed myself for not noticing her earlier. This woman must have been following us all the way.
"Why is it you again?"
Xu Yang's movements were a bit stiff, but the next second he immediately stood up again and sneered. "I think we should leave. Otherwise, some tail - follower will follow us."
The girl instinctively stood up to retort, but just as she was about to get up, her attention was immediately drawn away.
Yan Yan immediately got up and followed me into the restroom. The two of us went in one after the other.
We looked behind and saw no one following. We immediately breathed a sigh of relief and were both in a small cubicle.
I looked at his extremely handsome face so close to mine awkwardly. A feeling of embarrassment welled up in my heart.
"What should we do? We can't hide here forever, right?"
Xu Yang didn't say a word. He was very quick. Without hesitation, he pulled out a long knife from the side. I didn't even see where he got it from.
I stared at him in disbelief as he directly used the blade to make a mark on the door beside.
With a bang, the door was kicked down. There were two familiar large backpacks in the restroom cubicle.
"Go through the back."
He pointed to the small window in front. Although the restroom wasn't very dirty, it wasn't a clean place either.
What was that? I stared at a huge ventilation pipe in front.
"Oh my god. You're not going to make me climb through that pipe or the window, are you?"
I thought the window was already bad enough, but I didn't expect there to be something even worse.
The dark stuff in the pipe gave me a bad feeling.
I took two steps back and raised my hands. "I choose the window."
A gentle smile appeared on Yan Yan's poker face. Did I just see it wrong? Could this ice - cold face actually smile? It was really helpless.
I gave him a gesture to show how awesome I thought he was when I saw the fresh clothes he took out from the bag.
"Change your clothes."
It was a low - key gray outfit. Wearing it, I would basically be like a passer - by.
Yan Yan opened the window and climbed through.
"Wow, you're amazing."
I gave him a thumbs - up and slowly climbed up.
You know, I was still weak just now. After all this, I still felt a bit uncomfortable.
I struggled to climb up bit by bit. Oh no, there were footsteps coming from the restroom door behind me.
Dong, dong, dong. It seemed someone was coming in. A sense of crisis immediately flashed through my mind. What should I do?
Yan Yan pulled hard from above. My hand trembled slightly, and I jumped up.
The footsteps landed with a heavy thud. I wiped the sweat off my forehead.
"Are you okay?" Yan Yan looked at me worriedly.
I shook my head, and the two of us walked forward quickly.
"Wait a minute."
Yan Yan took the things from my hand and pushed me forward. "You go that way first. I'll take care of the people behind."
I looked at the guy who had just come in through the door. I gritted my teeth and decided not to be a burden.
I would just follow Yan Yan's instructions. Whatever Yan Yan told me to do, I would do. I took big steps forward and ran without looking back.
Dong, dong, dong. A voice in my heart was telling me to run faster.
I kept running forward. Finally, I stopped when I reached the front.
What was that? I opened my mouth wide. I saw Xu Yang and A Bai leaning against a big tree, looking at me coldly.
A Bai's sneer had become a bit hideous, while Xu Yang was playing with something in his hand with a smile.
"It's kind of interesting. Don't you think you've gone too far? At a time like this, you still want to leave us behind?"
This was really embarrassing, extremely embarrassing. The current situation caught me off - guard.
"Um... A Bai."
I wanted to explain something, but A Bai waved his hand, indicating that I didn't need to explain at all.
He patted the car. "The boss lady gave this to me just now. Get in the car."
I hesitated, but Xu Yang behind me pushed me into the car.
