Don't Turn fro Mo (丁墨)
Chapter 14
The lights are bright and soft, the shelves are neatly arranged, and the floor is shi+ny as mirror Every little corner in here has a feel of clean and elegant simplicity
Mu Hanxia walks in the croith a bag of lychees in her shopping basket The newly arrived small-core lychees, only 99 Yuan per pound, is as cheap as Le Ya’s pro and have a taste of them
However, seeing the prosperity of Yong Zheng, her feelings are so the Lin Mochen with injuries all over hiards as faguo[1]?
[1: There is a Chinese fable that tells the story of Mr Dongguo and a wolf -- Mr Dongguo saved the life of a wolf, who’s being chased by a hunter, by putting him in his book sack After the hunter passed theer was over, the wolf, as released frouo as his ratitude The moral of this fable is same as an Easop’s fable the Farmer and the Snake -- don’t save someone who’s evil by nature ]
She walks around a little and is just about to go home, when she comes to a shelf in the corner and sees an open door in the wall in front of her with a sign on it saying, “Employees Only”
Mu Hanxia strolls slowly over and glances into the space beyond the door The ceiling is very high inside Rows and rows of racks stand there fully stacked with all kinds ofin there
An idea suddenly pops out in Mu Hanxia’s h on inventory, won’t it et next? But she is just thinking about it in her mind and doesn’t dare to actually run inside
After peeking for a while, she is about to leave But then she sees the two e on the phone in his hand, “OK, we’ll be right there”
They go farther and farther away
There aren’t many people around Mu Hanxia stands there for a moment and makes sure there isn’t any sound fro basket on the floor and puts on a puzzled look, as if having lost her way, and wobbles into the warehouse
Success! Holding back her excitement and nervousness, she walks swiftly into the deep end The light is a little diray dark, and the noise outside sounds a little distant Mu Hanxia walks around inside and has reached the deepest part of the warehouse before she can find any valuable clue
So it seems Lin Mochen hasn’t put his most important inventory here in this warehouse She turns back and is about to retreat, when she hears a loud “clang” sound -- the roller shutter at the door is descending
Mu Hanxia is stupefied, and then hurriedly runs over, banging on the door, “Open the door, open the door! Someone’s still in here”
She pounds on the door for a long time but there is no answer
She takes out her cellphone Whom should she call? No one Whoever co, and then they will know she is from Le Ya That will be a really serious trouble!
Thinking hard for a long tihtly closed shutter door, she sits down in distress
Just wait! Wait until someone opens the door, and then she can slip out At , the door will definitely open
After about an hour, the supermarket closes for the day, and there isn’t any sound from outside The battery of Mu Hanxia’s cellphone also dies, forcing her to give up for good the idea of finding help She buries her face in her ar to fall asleep It’s a little cold in here, so she holds herself tightly together in half sleepiness Suddenly she gives a shudder as she hears faint footsteps behind her
At this hour, the rooloomy, and there is dead silence around The sound of the footsteps is just like the echo in an eht and feels the chills running through her body For a second, she doesn’t even dare to look back
The footsteps are low and steady, soft and light, and unhurried Mu Hanxia calms down and turns around
There, between ts of racks, a tall and slender
Lin Mochen
The unbuttoned suit, the casual shi+rt, the hands in trousers pockets, and the eye that’s deep, dark, and bright
Eyeing her half studyingly
All of a sudden, Mu Hanxia realizes, it’s this guy who has locked her in the warehouse!
They stand, a few steps apart, for a few seconds
Lin Mochen’s voice is insipid and polite, “Miss Mu Hanxia, have you enjoyed yourself here?”
Mu Hanxia curses “devious” under her breath, but puts on a smile on her face, “Not bad There’s so o home Why are you here Mr Lin? Do you come to show your solicitude? You really don’t have to I’reat here It’s cool, spacious, co here, and I can ood time”
A hint of slances at her and turns around, “Let’s go”
This is to let her leave?
Staring at his back, Mu Hanxia starts flatly, “Hey, apologize”
Lin Mochen’s footsteps stop
Mu Hanxia: “You’ve kept ize?”
He turns to look at her and s what I want?”
Mu Hanxia stares at him, stares at hi to kill hinal
Then, he raises his hand, pins Mu Hanxia by the shoulder against the rack behind her
Mu Hanxia freezes with her eyes opened wide in astonishaze down at her
In this narrow space, the light glea both faces in haziness It is extremely quiet around, so quiet that Mu Hanxia can hear her own heartbeat She suddenly srance of soaps and towels froht in front of her, is his tall and slender outline The young andso close Those eyes, however, are like rocks in the coldest water, fixed on her
“I have been soft-handed enough with you” He says, “Otherwise, right now, you have been sent to the police office”
Mu Hanxia’s heart is pounding fast, her face getting hot from his stares She quickly pushes him away
He turns swiftly and walks away quickly
Mu Hanxia is close at his heal
She now notices an open door in a wall on the far end She saw the door before but it was locked Lin Mochen must have entered from this door
They walk on for a fewoutside Mu Hanxia is surprised Lin Mochen pauses, and she bumped into his back She hastily backs away a step and also stops
Then they hear ‘dang’, that little door is closed from outside by someone “Tack,” it’s also locked
“Sss,” very light sound of the current can be heard frohts are all out
Mu Hanxia is dumbfounded, Lin Mochen doesn’t ency lights in the corners Everything becomes barely discernibly
“Won’t you hurry up and call soes
Lin Mochen stays quiet in the dark for a few seconds, and replies, “I don’t have the cellphone with me”
“What theyou are really a tio knock on the door, knock hard! Get someone to help us This is your store!”
But he just replies flatly, “I won’t”
“Why?!”
“If my people see me with a feht, how aood?”
Mu Hanxia is speechless
By this tione too far to be called back She hasin this glooht Her distress is beyond description But when she sees Lin Mochen, the culprit, ends up the same as her, she evilly feels better
“What now?” She asks
Then she sees Lin Mochen bends, and seats his lofty self down on the floor “Wait”
Mu Hanxia says nothing for a while Then, going back a few steps, she also finds some spot and sits down
