28 The Hero Saving The Beauty (2/2)
”Bar?”
”Yes. And while you're at it you can also tell me why you would take a drink from a complete stranger.”
”What stranger?”
Nie Chang held his phone in front of his face. On the screen was the photo of a man in his mid-twenties wearing a mahogany-colored suit. Su Yan felt like he had seen him before but he couldn't remember. That smile on his face was somehow eerie …
”Look at that!” Nie Chang pointed at his face, his expression stormy. ”You can't even remember! Do you have any idea what would have happened to you if I hadn't been there?”
Su Yan gulped. Nie Chang rarely got loud but if he did then there would definitely be a good scolding. ”I certainly didn't do it intentional …”
”Of course, you didn't! If you actually did, then I certainly wouldn't have helped you!”
”Uh … Ah Chang, can't you speak a little more quietly? My head —”
”I don't care for that! Do you still not understand how lucky you were? That guy was already dragging you to his car! Do you know where he wanted to take you?”
Su Yan hastily shook his head and then lowered it a bit. The guiltier he looked the sooner Nie Chang would leave him alone.
”He was going to take you to a hotel! You can take a guess what he wanted to do to you there. Tch.” Nie Chang stood up. There was no use talking with Su Yan now. That troublemaker couldn't even remember. He'd give him some time to wake up and then talk some sense into him again. Thus, he made to leave the room.
Su Yan pursed his lips. Hearing what Nie Chang said made him think of the word villain and suddenly, he remembered why he might have gone to a bar in the evening: That damned System had told him to meet the 'hero' there.
”You certainly are no hero”, he mumbled thinking of the guy on the photo, unfortunately, it was still loud enough to be heard by Nie Chang.
”What was that?” Nie Chang turned around at the door and frowned. Knowing Su Yan, he hadn't expected any big thanks but this was really low.
”Oh … nothing, I … was talking to myself.” He couldn't say the truth, right?
”Talking to yourself?” Nie Chang wasn't mollified, though. Did that heartless guy even understand how much he had worried about him?
He went back to him and propped his arms up on both sides of Su Yan. ”You feel like I shouldn't scold you when you've done something this dumb?”
”No, I —”
”It's alright. But if you want to be the damsel in distress, then you better prepare for the things the hero gets after saving her.”
And with that, he bent forward and kissed him.
