After they went upstairs and opened the door to one of the rooms, Ling Mo surprisingly found out that there were far more people than just Xia Na and Liu Yuhao living in the building.
More than ten boys and girls turned to the door at the same time, and after a glance, they were all young adults no older than twenty years old. A girl in middle school uniform heard the door’s sound and welcomed them excited, “Sis, you guys are back!”
“Oh? You brought another two back?” The middle school girl looked past Xia Na towards Ye Lian and Ling Mo, questioning casually and shifted her attention onto Liu Yuhao’s backpack, “How is today’s harvest?”
“Not bad! We looted the big supermarket on the north street. There are a lot of things we couldn’t take back but I’ve hid them already. We’ll go get them after we finish these,” Liu Yuhao smiled proudly without mentioning that they almost lost their lives in a desperate situation.
“Oh right, let me introduce these two to you. This is… I’m sorry brother, I forgot to ask for your name…”
Liu Yuhao passionately began the introduction but immediately froze awkwardly in place.
“Ling Mo. This is my girlfriend, Ye Lian.” Ling Mo introduced himself after sighing lightly.
“Ah. hahaha brother Ling!” Liu Yuhao immediately returned to his usual state as he draped his arm over Ling Mo’s shoulder and pushed him to the centre of the room, “Attention everybody, he was a big help to us today so we decided to treat him to food and beer!”
The boys and girls who sat on the couch or floor didn’t care about Ling Mo and Ye Lian’s appearance but they all looked at him in surprise after hearing Liu Yuhao’s words.
A boy who laid on the couch sat up and studied Ling Mo with doubt, “How is that possible. How did he have the chance to help with Xia Na there?”
“Exactly, Xia Na sis is here, how is it possible that they need the help of an outsider?” Another person agreed and stressed on the word “outsider”.
The middle school girl from before walked over and waved her hands, “It’s only one meal, you guys don’t have to be like this.”
“They are just trying to freeload and you are finding an excuse for them. Liu Yuhao, you are too much of a good-two-shoes, we don’t even have enough food ourselves.” The boy who doubted Ling Mo first snorted coldly.
Liu Yuhao’s expressions became awkward again and secretly stole a glance at Ling Mo. However, he found out that Ling Mo didn’t react to the boys’ mockery.
“What I said is true. You guys don’t know that Xia Na is too pleased with herself to notice the surroundings when she’s fighting…” Liu Yuhao obviously didn’t know how to deal with this kind of situation. Although he tried his best to explain, but the boys and girls’ faces were filled with disbelief.
At this moment, Xia Na walked over with Ye Lian. However, she didn’t look like she wanted to help him to explain at all, but smiled with the slightest mockery towards Ling Mo. Her glances obvious said: let’s see how you are going to deal with this situation.
She held a grudge! This girl bears grudges too much!
Obviously she dropped her coldness but she didn’t forget that Ling Mo spoke out against her at all.
But she obviously thought wrongly. To these worms who only knew to reap where one has not sown and who loved excluding outsiders, Ling Mo wasn’t interested at all to deal with them seriously. He laughed coldly and grabbed Ye Lian’s hand, turned around and headed back outside, “Sorry, I have no intention of freeloading whatsoever. Enjoy your meal.”
“Oh! Aren’t you cool?!”
Xia Na and Liu Yuhao froze. The face of the young man who talked just now became black as he felt like he had lost all his face, he mocked again, “This kind of person has a girl with him? Are you even able to support her? You should be thankful that we are giving you food, how dare you act so arrogantly…”
This is more than Ling Mo could bear! The boy thought that he was here to freeload and hence spoke sarcastically as he was worried about their food supply decreasing. I planned to leave yet you are still humiliating me, do you think I’m a pushover?
Ling Mo’s pupil dilated as he dashed to the front of the boy in a blink of an eye. During the course of the event, Xia Na was the first one to notice Ling Mo’s intention. But in the instant she stretched out her hand to stop him, Ling Mo had already brushed past her. At this moment, she finally realised that although she was fast, her mental reaction was far slower than this ordinary-looking man.
As she stretched her hand out, Ling Mo seemed to look through her action and avoided her hand during the high-speed move. He didn’t only overcross her, he also appeared in front of the boy without pausing.
The boy’s vision turned dark for a second before he felt someone grabbing his collar and his feet left the ground
“You fucking…”
“Pa!”
