BXBX NOVEL Chapter 43 - She waited for a long time
Xia Xiaoxi, who stood beside HuMing, couldn\'t help but feel a surge of anger. It was truly terrible that the girl had resorted to not just verbal but now also physical abuse towards the lady.
Such behavior is by no means tolerable!
Seeing no one around stepped forward to intervene, Xia XiaoXi frowned and rolled up her sleeves, planning to help the lady herself.
Just as she was about to take action, HuMing reached out and stopped her.
"What are you doing?"
"To help! Can\'t you see that girl pulling the lady\'s hair?"
"Is it appropriate for you to do such things with your identity? If your identity gets exposed later, you\'ll encounter even bigger problems."
It was clear that Xia XiaoXi was full of righteous indignation, but her approach to handling the situation was somewhat reckless.
Thanks to the incredible progress in network technology, locating someone has become incredibly simple. In addition, this incident was bound to attract attention, and numerous people were taking photos with their phones.
HuMing stayed put because he did not want to get involved in such trouble. However, when he saw Xia XiaoXi\'s anxious expression, he felt somewhat helpless.
The lady was being dragged by her hair and struggling desperately, while the girl was screaming things like- "The law can\'t do anything to me; if I had a knife, I\'d kill you!" and extreme and provocative words.
The crowd continued criticizing the girl, but no one stepped forward to help.
This is the current norm in society.
"So what should we do? We can\'t just watch the lady get beaten, can we?!"
Xia XiaoXi was growing increasingly anxious, nervously biting her lip, her eyes filled with worry behind her sunglasses.
She stopped, only to hear the boy beside her sigh softly, then take a mask from his pocket and put it on.
"Wait here."
Saying so, he walked towards the scene.
A pair of hands suddenly pulled apart the two people engaged in a heated altercation.
The lady was momentarily stunned and quickly looked toward HuMing.
"Auntie, go hide for a moment."
Hearing HuMing\'s words, the lady felt a sharp pain in her hair. Her hair was already delicate, and now, being yanked so forcefully, she felt as if that crazy person had pulled out a large handful.
She quietly moved aside, taking deep breaths.
Meanwhile, HuMing grasped the girl\'s wrist firmly. His expression remained blank behind his glasses.
For all to hear, HuMing frigidly said,
"Scolding and hitting that lady, what are your intentions?"
"What does it have to do with you? Go fuck yourself!"
The girl appeared unhinged, resembling a rabid animal poised to attack anyone in her path. She abruptly shrugged off HuMing\'s hand, then curled her palm into a claw and swiped at HuMing\'s face.
"Watch out!"
Xia XiaoXi exclaimed, but after that, a shocking scene occurred-!
HuMing delivered a forceful blow to the girl\'s knee, causing her intense pain and forcing her to kneel on the ground partially.
The next moment, he sent her flying with a powerful kick. She let out a piercing scream and was sent soaring through the air, rolling several times on the ground before finally coming to a halt.
She clutched her stomach, curled up in pain and unable to move.
HuMing looked at the girl, adjusting his glasses on his nose with a calm expression. At the same time, police sirens sounded, and officers quickly arrived.
After some questioning, the police grasped the situation and looked at the girl harshly. They restrained her with handcuffs and then approached HuMing, saying,
"We need you to come with us to assist in the investigation."
Xia XiaoXi, who was in the crowd, clearly had not expected this to happen. Just as she was about to step forward to help HuMing explain, XiaoXi couldn\'t, grasping his rejecting glance.
The boy seemed unwilling to involve her in this mess despite the one who made him deal with it. This did not seem fair at all!
For a moment, Xia XiaoXi felt overwhelmed with guilt, but she quickly made a decision!
......
There was video evidence at the scene, and the girl continued behaving crazily, even at the police station, displaying aggression towards anyone who approached, similar to someone who had escaped from a mental hospital.
After a brief questioning, the police released HuMing.
HuMing was unconcerned about what happened to the girl. This time, he was standing up for justice.
The sky was adorned with a radiant full moon, illuminating the land with a tranquil and soothing glow.
The soft glow of the streetlights cast a gentle light on the quiet streets, creating an atmosphere of tranquillity and serenity.
A gentle breeze blew, and HuMing stretched his back, feeling the day\'s fatigue wash over him. He was already exhausted from soccer earlier, teaching KangXin before leaving and fighting twice, though it was all one-sided beating.
However, the most significant gain today was meeting Xia XiaoXi. Having interacted with her in advance was beneficial for him.
More importantly, what he did today would make a good impression on her, so when she interacts with Han ShuYi, she will not have such a negative impression of him.
That\'s why HuMing had stepped up to take control of the situation. Although it was troublesome, it was ultimately worthwhile.
With his hands in his pockets, HuMing planned to call a cab to leave. Just then, someone tapped him on the shoulder.
Hu Ming turned and saw a female police officer pointing to a figure not far away.
The figure sat on the steps, her neat fringe revealing a portion of her smooth forehead. Slightly glossy black hair reached her shoulders, showing only two small ear tips. With her chin tucked into her coat, she wore a mask and sunglasses that concealed her identity.
"She has been waiting here for a long time. Upon asking, she said she was waiting for a friend." The female officer sighed.
"Is she your friend?"
HuMing\'s face showed no emotion as he looked at the curled-up figure but expressed his approval with a firm nod.
He approached the figure, who sat with a paper bag in her lap, her head gently resting upon it. Her eyes were tightly closed as she breathed steadily and gently as if caught in a dream.
[Didn\'t think she would be waiting here for so long.]
HuMing assumed she had already left, but he had not expected her to wait here for so long.
The summer breeze was incredibly soothing, and the girl appeared to be in a deep slumber.
"Hey, Xia XiaoXi, it\'s time to go home."
"Hmm?"
Xia XiaoXi, as if finally hearing the voice she had been waiting for, gradually opened her eyes, and the hazy figure in her sight started to sharpen.
The person waved at her as if trying to bring her back to reality.
Slowly, her mind began to clear, and the image of the boy before her became more distinct.
There, she saw him smiling slightly, the corners of his mouth turned up.
"It\'s dangerous for a girl to fall asleep here. You should hurry home."
