Chapter 119 Change Your Targe (2/2)
Seeing that he came out, Hans, who was squatting at the roadside and having a smoke, said in surprise, ”What are you doing outside?”
”To accompany you, seeing that you’re lonely and all,” Li Du tried to lie his way out.
Hans showed him his phone. ”I’m talking to girls; there’s already two ladies that are waiting for me.”
”F*ck you!”
Hans asked, ”So what happened? Why did you come out so fast?”
Li Du told him what had happened. Hans thought for a bit after listening, and said, ”If you have feelings for Sophie, then just be friends. You can’t be lovers or husband and wife— change your target.”
”Who said that I want her to be my lover?” Mr. Li rolled his eyes.
Hans said in disdain, ”In front of this Saint of Love, do you think a baby like you can fool me?”
Mr. Li was depressed. ”Alright, I admit that I do have some feelings for Dr. Sophie, but I’ve never thought that I must be with her.”
Hans said, ”That’s good. She doesn’t have that kind of feelings for you like a lover would, or else, with such an outstanding performance at saving her, when you consoled her when she was frightened—even if she doesn’t dive into your chest by herself—she wouldn’t have rejected your embrace.”
Li Du nodded despondently. Truth to be told, such a result after plucking up his courage to act, he felt quite depressed.
Hans said, ”Alright, she’s not the one for you, but there are plenty of other girls waiting for you, like, say…”
”Like, say, Hannah,” Li Du said as he rolled his eyes.
Hans shook his head and said, ”Not Hannah—I don’t know what’s going on in her head, but she really did fall in love with that guy, Stephen. For you, your landlady isn’t so bad. She has a nice pair of legs. Those are perfect, my brother…”
As he said this, Hans made a really disgusting expression.
Li Du almost brought out the jet cutter to cut him.
It was late in the night, and the incident was resolved. The youths were charged with armed robbery, illegal possession of guns and drugs, violence, and attempted rape. With these charges, they were guaranteed a long time in prison.
Before separating, Rose smiled and said, ”The one in the worst shape was the guy that was kicked by you. That poor b*stard—God bless that he still has the ability to control his bladder.”
Li Du’s kick was merciless, and with Ah Meow taking the chance to claw his face, he was under emergency care in the hospital.
The other two doctors that had been involved came to give their thanks to Li Du and the rest. Before driving off, they asked Sophie, ”Let us send you to where your parents are, alright?”
Sophie hesitated for a moment and said, ”I want to ride in Li Du’s car—is that ok?”
Li Du said, ”Sure, it’s on the way anyway.”
The car started, and Sophie sat in the back. She wanted to pet Ah Meow, but Ah Meow deftly avoided her hand, and went into Mr. Li’s embrace and nuzzled into him. Ah Meow even rubbed its oval face on Li Du’s chest.
Hans said, ”Wow, what a caring child.”
Li Du laughed; when he had been consoling Sophie, Ah Meow had been watching. It probably understood that Sophie rejected his good intentions, and was being angry for his sake.
From that, Li Du felt that it was worth it caring for this wild child.
They reached the parking lot of Sophie’s apartment. The truck stopped, and Sophie said, ”Hey, I’m home.”
”We’ll be here, and we’ll only leave after you enter your home, so don’t be afraid,” Li Du smiled and said, displaying some gentlemanliness to remind her that he wasn’t distancing himself.
Sophie said, ”Can you walk me back? I… I have something to say to you.”
