Chapter 109: To Draw One’s Sword to Help Others
TL/Note : 拔刀相助 (Bá dāo xiāng zhù) This phrase means to offer one’s help or assistance in a difficult or dangerous situation. It comes from the idea of a swordsman drawing their sword to come to the aid of someone in need.
Jin Yang was frightened by his tears and reached out to wipe them away, saying gently, “What’s wrong? Why are you crying?”
Mushi remained silent, stuffing the sliced beef into his mouth and then gulping down the red wine in front of him while crying. He was choked up and couldn’t express all the careful preparations he had made before.
Jin Yang walked over and hugged him, gently kissing his cheek. Only now could he realize how Mushi must have felt while waiting for him and even heard the news of his “infidelity”.
Naturally, he didn’t have the ability to go back in time and observe what had happened at that time, but under the Little Stone writing, he peeked into the secrets hidden in Mushi’s heart over the years.
Feeling Mushi’s state of mind during that period, every thought and pain he experienced, every time he read a passage, he felt a little more uncomfortable, but at the same time, he loved Mushi more and made a greater determination to make up for it.
The two of them ate their dinner with difficulty and then snuggled up on the bed covered in rose petals.
Time slowed down on this quiet night. They touched each other’s skin, held hands, and tightly embraced each other, greedily absorbing each other’s scent.
Zhou Mushi buried his face in Jin Yang’s neck, feeling his collarbone through his skin. He couldn’t help but shed tears.
Although he had done nothing wrong, his tear ducts seemed too sensitive today, as if he couldn’t touch anything without crying.
The hot tears fell onto Jin Yang’s skin, causing a burning sensation.
“Mushi,” Jin Yang softly called out to him, and the two words that came out of his lips were meticulously polished and sculpted, with an indescribable taste.
Zhou Mushi heard Jin Yang’s voice calling out his name, and slowly responded with just a few words.
Jin Yang repeated his name over and over again, like a hammer hitting his heart, making him want to unbutton his shirt and reveal his chest that held his heart.
He thought about it and did it.
Fingertips touched each other, with an indescribable feeling, slowly building trust between them.
Jin Yang asked as tears rolled down Zhou Mushi’s cheeks.
Every kiss from Jin Yang was serious, almost reverent, filled with all the love he had for this person. He turned his overwhelming love into gentle and meticulous kisses.
Zhou Mushi enjoyed it all. He liked this kind of sex and love, being treasured, cared for, and held in the palm of someone’s hand, not just fulfilling primitive physical desires.
He pushed Jin Yang onto the bed and leaned over him, kissing his lips intimately. After receiving a response, he slowly kissed Jin Yang’s heart, which was beating rapidly, the closest place to the heart through a small piece of flesh.
And Jin Yang’s heart was now beating because of him, fluctuating.
The faint light illuminated the scene.
. . . . .
Zhou Muxian put his hands in his pockets. He really didn’t know why he had to be by the seaside on such a day, feeling the sea breeze.
“Crazy” couples with glowing bunny ears and Mickey Mouse headbands, holding hands and being affectionate, were all over the place on the beach.
Why not go home to celebrate? If you don’t go to the hotel at this point, will you still be able to book a large bed room later?
Can’t you see that Seven Days Inn, Home Inn, Orange Hotel, etc… are all flashing their lights and beckoning to you?
He closed his eyes in disdain for the world. A few strands of cool breeze blew, making him slightly more alert.
After walking two rounds along the seaside, feeling a bit tired, he started walking back home.
This city is between the first and second tier, and even on a normal night at around 9 o’clock, the roads are still crowded, let alone at this time.
Zhou Muxian wanted to be alone, so he chose a small path that was rarely used and slightly more secluded.
Walking on this road alone, listening quietly to the sound of your footsteps, can also be a kind of interest.
But sometimes things don’t go as planned. On days when couples are having fun and single people are crying together, there are always those anti-social and anti-human, violent criminals who want to do something immoral at this time.
A man holding a knife suddenly appeared from the fork in the road and pressed the sharp blade against Zhou Muxian’s neck.
Zhou Muxian was extremely surprised. In today’s world where surveillance cameras are everywhere and technology is highly advanced, he never thought that someone would still rob with a knife. Isn’t cracking a bank card password more profitable than this?
“Don’t move, give me all the money you have on you!”
Zhou Muxian didn’t know how he could remain calm in the face of life and death. The robber was a strong man, with arms twice as thick as his and a muscular build. He might even be a martial artist.
“I don’t have any money on me. I haven’t used cash for more than two years.”
The robber frowned unhappily. “Hand over your phone!”
Zhou Muxian’s phone contains a lot of business information. If he loses it, it will be very troublesome. He leaned against the wall and negotiated with the robber.
“My phone has important things on it. How about this, you take out your phone, and I’ll transfer money to you. How does that sound?”
The robber didn’t care about that. As soon as he saw that Zhou Muxian’s phone was a new Apple model, he knew he could sell it for a few thousand yuan. Without a word, he went to snatch it.
The victim was not willing to give it up, and during the argument, he smelled a hint of blood and felt a stabbing pain in his neck.
Zhou Muxian thought to himself: It’s over!
Just then, a loud shout suddenly came: “What are you doing?”
The strong man looked at the thin man in front of him with a mask and a cap and calculated that he was not a threat.
“Get lost if you know what’s good for you! This is none of your business!”
The lean man seemed to not have heard his words and walked towards him. When the sturdy man saw this, he realized that trouble was coming and immediately pulled out his knife to attack.
The lean man sidestepped slightly, dodging the knife blade. In a quick move, he had already grabbed the sturdy man’s arm and with a deft twist, there was a painful cry and the knife fell to the ground with a clatter. At the same time, the sturdy man’s knee was kicked, causing his right leg to weaken, almost causing him to kneel to the ground.
The sturdy man realized he had met his match and despite the pain in his arm, he ran away.
The masked man didn’t chase after him, but instead walked towards the victim and asked, “Are you okay?”
