The girl stopped and looked back at Lu Feng and he asked, "What are you doing at this faraway place and this late in the night?"
"I was lost," she replied.
Lu Feng chuckled. "Lost, huh? Are you kidding me?"
It was obvious that she was lying. The girl didn't know what to say. She just wanted to leave the place as soon as possible. "I was lost, as I am new in the city."
"Hmm! You came so far to let yourself lose," he said sarcastically.
The place was far from the city, and it was deserted. Only the vehicles on the highway were visible to give someone company and making one feel that they were not alone.
"It happened like that," the girl replied and turned to leave.
"Do you wish to get caught by one drunk man on the highway and get hurt that you dare to walk alone in this deserted place?" Lu Feng asked loudly, looking at the retreating back of the girl.
When Lu Feng said it, he forgot that he was drunk and what he just said applied to him, too. He forgot that being drunk might scare the girl.
Halting in her tracks, The girl mumbled to herself. 'I don't wish to get hurt by a drunk man that's why I am running away'.
"What did you say?" Lu Feng could hear her as it was silent around.
"I said, I would be fine. I will go now," the girl replied.
"Wait! Tell me where you want to go and I will drop you." Lu Feng insisted, getting up from the rock. Though he was drunk, his mind was working fine to know that it was not safe for a girl to be in such a place and that too alone.
The girl observed Lu Feng and felt scared. Though he was a handsome and noble-looking man in real, at that moment his condition was different. He was reeking of alcohol, his hair, his clothes looked messy not to mention the darkness around was making it worse. The street lamps were not that capable of brightening the place too much.
The top three buttons of his shirt undone, exposing his chest more than required, one side of his shirt tucked in his pants while the other one left loose, sleeves folded up and the shirt had wrinkles, a bottle of beer in his one hand and with another hand, he was holding a tree to keep balance.
A huge carton of beer was lying on the ground, out of which half of the bottles had emptied out and thrown at the rocks to break them into pieces.
Not replying to his offer, the girl walked hurriedly towards the highway. She turned to look at Lu Feng to make sure if he was not following her. Seeing her walking away, Lu Feng didn't follow her and instead sat back on the rock.
The girl tried to ask for the lift but no one stopped but in a while, a car stopped in front of her, which had four young boys sitting inside. A window screen of the car rolled down, and a boy peeked out to look at the girl. His eyes and his expressions were enough to make her understand, it was not a good thing to stop them.
"I- I am sorry. By mistake, I asked for a lift. I am with my friend and he is sitting there." The girl pointed towards Lu Feng, who was enjoying the show from a distance while still drinking, trying not to give attention to others.
"It seems like your boyfriend is not capable enough to take care of a pretty girl like you. Come with us and we will help you." Saying a boy stepped out of the car while the three other boys inside were smiling mischievously. All looked like university students.
"N-No need. My friend would be angry. Thanks for offering the help." Saying the girl bowed down and thought to go back to where Lu Feng was sitting.
She caught up between one drunk man on one side and a few lewd looking boys on the other side. She didn't know where to go but for now, she thought going back to the drunk man was the safest option.
She thought, 'He is alone and drunk. If he tries to do something with me, it's easy to deal with him as he is drunk. I will just kick him in nuts. It would be enough. What the hell was I thinking to ask for a lift at this hour? Idiot me.'
Looking at the red sports car parked where Lu Feng was sitting, she understood he was not an ordinary man as the car was the expensive one.
The boy who stepped out of the car looked at Lu Feng who was busy drinking and was not paying attention to the girl. It encouraged the boy and said, "Your friend seems drunk and it's not good for you to be here alone with him as he won't be able to protect you in his drunk condition. Let us give you a nice ride."
The last line from the boy didn't feel good to her ears with the way he said smiling slyly. The girl stepped back. "No, thank you."
When she turned to go back towards Lu Feng, the boy caught her hand. "I can't leave a pretty girl like you as a pray for others. My heart won't allow me to leave you here alone. So better sit in the car without creating trouble for us and I promise, I would be good to you. Not just me but my friends too would be good to you."
A girl tried to get her hand out of his hold, but she could not do it. As there was no other way, she kicked him at his balls that made him leave her hand and whine in pain while kneeling down. "Bitch!"
