Why are you helping me?

On the street, in a wide corner, a man put his hand on a woman's shoulder, looking worried.

Xiang Yu retracted his gaze, and looked at Su Qi with heartache.

She was about to go crazy from what had just happened.

Her head hurt and her heart was in turmoil.

It turned out that other people's words could be as sharp as knives.

Su Qi's body slightly trembled from the uncontrollable fear.

Other than heartache, there was nothing else in Xiang Yu's eyes.

In the next second, Xiang Yu held her gently in his arms, his eyes filled with grief.

He also didn't think that he would bump into this woman again and again. He couldn't help but help her again and again, but he didn't even know why.

It was as if an invisible thread was tearing at him, causing him to be unable to control himself and approach her, trying to protect her.

Su Qi leaned into Xiang Yu's embrace, still in the same posture as before, and her face was twisted together.

His mind was in chaos.

As he pressed down against Xiang Yu's chest, it seemed as if Su Qi didn't feel anything at all.

"Don't care about the opinions of others." Xiang Yu said indifferently.

If he were to pay attention to the gazes of others, he might not be the current him.

Xiang Yu lightly patted his back as he comforted his.

After a long while, Su Qi finally raised her head from Xiang Yu's embrace, her eyes like an injured kitten's, filled with tears.

His eyes were already slightly swollen.

Xiang Yu's heart tightened.

"Why do you have to help me time and time again?"

Xiang Yu never thought that the first sentence this woman would say would actually be this.

A hint of panic flashed past his eyes. "We know each other anyway. I can't just watch you being bullied, can I?"

He didn't want to overdo it.

Su Qi did not bother with this question anymore, wiping her tears, she said gratefully, "Thank you."

It seemed that every time something happened, this man would stand up for her and speak up for her.

Her heart was at least full of gratitude.

Xiang Yu looked at Su Qi, "Are you in a bad mood?"

Su Qi sneered.

She had made a fool of herself in the competition and was pointed at on the streets. Should she say that she was happy?

It was as if everything had piled up on top of her.

"I'm sure you didn't copy it." Xiang Yu said seriously.

An indescribable expression flashed in his eyes.

"Thank you."

Su Qi mocked herself in her heart; to think that there would still be people who would believe her.

"Are you sure you want to speak here?"

The main street was filled with people. Although it was just a corner, there were still a few people coming and going.

Su Qi forced a smile.

"Let's go find a place."

Xiang Yu habitually stretched out his hand, paused it in the air, and then pulled it back.

One person walked in front.

Su Qi stood rooted to the ground, not moving at all.

"I can sell you?"

Xiang Yu turned his head, shaking his head in amusement.

The grieving cat immediately became defensive.

He couldn't help but find it funny.

Su Qi took a deep breath and followed Xiang Yu's footsteps.

She didn't want to go home, and she didn't want to hear any more of the gossip.

Although she didn't know where this man was taking her.

However, she didn't think that the man in front of her had any ill intentions.

After a long while, Xiang Yu finally stopped.

"Where are we going?"

Su Qi asked suspiciously as she looked at a foreign land.

The place in front of them was not considered remote, but it was still in a corner.

There weren't many people on the streets either.

"Follow me." Xiang Yu said mysteriously and headed into the alley.

Although Su Qi was curious, she continued to walk inside.

The narrow alleyway was filled with the flickering sunlight, making the structure of the old buildings look very interesting.

Even in the daytime, it was hard to hide the anger in them.

Su Qi suddenly liked this place, it was fresh and elegant.

"Have you been here before?"

When Su Qi said this, she felt that it was faintly familiar, as if she had just told someone else yesterday.

Xiang Yu nodded, his eyes gloomy.

"When I'm in a bad mood, I come here."

The long and narrow path seemed to have no end.

Su Qi also did not continue speaking, enjoying the thick ancient aura, so quiet that she felt that she surprisingly liked this atmosphere.

Not long later, Xiang Yu stopped.

Su Qi curiously looked at the courtyard in front of her.

It was just a single path, but the courtyard in front of him was filled with people.

"Was it an accident?" Xiang Yu laughed.

Su Qi nodded.

Unexpectedly, there was a shop on the other side of the alley.

"You took such a long way to get here?"

Su Qi could not help but retort, and all her worries disappeared like a wisp of smoke.

Xiang Yu nodded, and brought Su Qi in, finding a corner to sit at.

The furnishings in the yard were simple. There were only simple stone benches and stone tables. Those who had come were all sitting in the yard.

However, there was still an endless stream of people coming and going.

"How did you find this place?" Su Qi was slightly happy.

"I was rather mischievous when I was young, so I knew it when I was around."

Actually, he didn't expect that after going overseas for five years, the store would still be open and looked exactly the same.

"Little Xiang?"

The Lady Boss walked over and asked uncertainly.

The boss looked to be around fifty years old, and the hair at his temples had already turned white.

Xiang Yu acknowledged, "Auntie."

"Aiyo!" It's really you, Little Xiang! Just now, I thought I recognized the wrong person! It's really you, you're still as handsome as before! But I think it's been a long time since I've been to Sis's shop! "

The Lady Boss was warm and hospitable, and her talkative nature was immediately brought to the fore.

"Five years."

Yes, five years.

"Right, right. I wonder where you've been these past five years. Before this, your uncle often talked about you to me!" I said you don't come here much anymore either. "

The Lady Boss continued to talk endlessly.

Su Qi quietly listened from the side.

"Some things went abroad, so I didn't come. I didn't expect that your shop would still be open." Xiang Yu forced out a smile and changed the topic.

Her face was full of warmth.

didn't know how to describe this man. Even though he had disguised himself very coldly, deep down, he was a very warm man.

"Oh, so that's the case! "Well, when you have time, come here and visit me and your uncle!"

The atmosphere in the yard was unusually quiet.

"Where's Uncle?"

"Your uncle went to the market today, so he hasn't come yet. If he knew you were here, he would definitely be very happy!" The Lady Boss enthusiastically greeted him, but it was hard to hide the excitement on her face.

"This is …" "Girlfriend?"

Only after talking for a long time did the Lady Boss notice Su Qi and ask.
