"No way, she would fall to her death if she walked. Is she really that useless?" Jiang Qingqing pretended to be surprised and covered her mouth.
Zhang Xueqian teamed up and said with a taunt: "No way. Don't forget that foot of hers. It was just walking on the road and getting crippled."
"You're right …"
They were indeed close friends. The two of them were singing the same tune. What a good joke!
Hai Xiao Min ignored them and continued drinking her wine. Suddenly, her wine cup was taken away from her. She turned her head towards Zhang Xueqian in dissatisfaction.
The other party moved closer to her with her alluring red lips. "Hai Xiao Min, if you don't fit your body well, then practice a lot."
She poured the glass of whiskey over Hai Xiaomin's head.
Hai Xiao Min was stunned. She had not expected this action. After being enlightened, her mind became much clearer. She then asked in shock and anger, "Zhang Xue Qian, what are you doing?"
Zhang Xueqian took a step back and pretended to shout, "Ouch! Why are you so careless?"
What? Hai Xiao Min was a little taken aback.
"Hurry up and wipe!" She casually threw the empty tissue into Hai Xiaomin's hand, grabbed the tissue from Jiang Qingqing's hand, and threw it at Hai Xiaomin's face, "You're so clumsy, you can even spill wine."
Hai Xiao Min closed his eyes and dropped the tissue.
She tightly clenched her wine cup as her body trembled from anger. "Zhang Xueqian, don't go too far!"
"What do you mean 'bullying doesn't matter'? We don't understand. We were chosen together, so we should look at each other. How could we bully anyone?" Jiang Qingqing shrugged innocently.
Zhang Xueqian suppressed her tone and sneered, "You can try complaining to Ms. Qin again, let's see if she can support you!"
The two of them glanced at each other and smiled. Then, they turned around and left complacently. Finally, they got their anger back.
In this remote corner, there weren't many people around. The lighting was dim, so the cameras couldn't pinpoint exactly what had happened. Even if they were asked about it later, they wouldn't admit it.
Hai Xiao Min was sitting on a solitary stool. His eyes were red, and it was hard to tell if his face was covered with wine or tears.
"What happened today …" After a long while, she mumbled to herself in a hoarse voice before standing up and walking towards the washroom slowly.
Along the way, when people saw her wet appearance or smelled the alcohol from far away, they would subconsciously avoid her, so she didn't really look forward. But as she walked, she bumped into a sturdy meat wall.
"Sorry." Hai Xiao Min reflexively retreated. She knew that her body was dirty and it would be bad if her clothes were dirty.
Unexpectedly, the other person raised his arm and wrapped his arm around the back of her neck, preventing her from retreating.
The palm burned her skin.
Astonished by his opponent's action, Hai Xiao Min raised his head in shock. Before resisting, he saw the man's face and immediately lost all will to resist.
"You're crying?" The man's handsome forehead creased, his clear and cold voice was deep and magnetic.
"…" Once again, when he was at his lowest, he appeared.
"Did you drink? Didn't the doctor tell you not to... Hm? Why is your hair so wet? " Ling Yao picked up her hair and rubbed his fingers together. He could smell alcohol in the air, and his eyes were deep, "What's going on?"
Her eyes were red, and there was alcohol on her head. Even a fool could see that she had been bullied!
"…"
"You are mute? I ask you, what is the matter? Who bullied you? " Ling Yao's usually calm tone had become a bit rough, and his aura had become extremely terrifying.
Hai Xiao Min didn't say anything and just stared at him blankly. Tears silently rolled down her cheeks and she suddenly fell into his arms while sobbing out in an aggrieved tone.
The space between Ling Yao's eyebrows first tightened, before slowly relaxing as he embraced his frail body, allowing her face to be buried in his chest. The wine stains and tears seeped into his expensive clothes.
She didn't know why, but she knew that this man wouldn't care about her dirtying his clothes. He would offer her a warm and reliable shoulder when she was weak, and at this moment, she no longer cared about anything, recklessly releasing the weakness in her heart.
"Be good ~ It's alright now …" He stroked the back of her neck again and again, gently comforting her. Hai Xiaoming couldn't see his gloomy expression, "Tell me first, who did it?"
"I'm fine …" Hai Xiao Min felt a little better, and her rationality gradually returned to her position. She wanted to push away the man's embrace, but found that she couldn't!
She was stunned. Why was he holding her so tightly?
"Being bullied to this extent, you still say that I'm okay. Hai Xiaomin, are you stupid, or do you think I'm blind?" The man's cold voice sounded above her head. She did not conceal the anger in his voice.
Hai Xiao Min was stunned again. Why was he so angry?
"Mute again?" After a long time, he still didn't get a reply. He roughly clamped the back of her neck and pulled her out from his chest, forcing her to look up into his eyes.
It was still that grave and stern young man, yet every inch of his face was filled with an unbearably cold anger.
"If you won't tell me, then I'll check for myself!" At this moment, Ling Yao was extremely impatient. He opened his sleeve communicator under his collar and said coldly, "Go call Qin Xiao and Shu Yuan into the control room!"
Qin Xiao Shu Yuan... Wasn't that the newlyweds, the ones who were currently on Saiya? Hai Xiaoming was shocked. What was he trying to do? Was there really a need to cause such a huge ruckus?
Ling Yao didn't wait for her to say anything. Lowering his head to look at her feet, without saying a word, he bent down and picked her up horizontally.
Hai Xiao Min cried out in alarm. He reflexively wrapped her arms around his neck, opened his beautiful eyes wide, and looked at the man's cold face. His heart thumped for a long time before he reacted, "Ling Yao, let me down … To what control room? I'm not going! "
After getting drunk, she would unwittingly show off her childish side, causing a ruckus.
Ling Yao ignored her as she struggled harder and harder, almost making him unable to hold his. He could only lower his head and give her a cold look, "If you move again, I'll throw you off the ship!"
Hai Xiao Min was really frightened. His expression was a little dazed, and he didn't dare to move. It was only after a long while did he hear her weak voice, "... I can swim. "
You still want to bargain with him?
"You're crippled!" Ling Yao struck without mercy.
"…"
Even when she was carried into the control room, Hai Xiaomin did not lose her temper.
Ordinary people were not allowed to enter the control room, but Ling Yao's bodyguards had already arrived and everything had been arranged. The crew in charge of the control room stood aside respectfully, awaiting orders at any time.
Passing by the bodyguard, Ling Yao instructed, "Get a basin of clear water, and a clean towel as well."
Putting Hai Xiaomin on the resting seat, Ling Yao did not go to the computer, but sat beside her, wetting the towel while telling people to check where and when to monitor the situation.
He wiped her face with a wet towel, using a little bit too much force. Hai Xiaoming saw the veins on the back of his hand bulging, as if he was trying hard to restrain something.
Was he so angry when she was wronged?
It was only because she was a woman who had some sort of relationship with him. If she was casually bullied by some random cat or dog, would it cause her to lose face for men?
