436 Jinx (2/2)
The man's rough hand extended and came to Xiu's shoulder.
”Ah-!”
The man put his hand over Xiu's face to stop her from screaming from behind. ”Don't dare to scream!” The man hissed in a dangerous voice.
Since Ying was keeping her distance from Xiu and since her scream was already muffled before it could come out, Ying didn't really notice it.
Xiu felt a familiar fear overtaking her senses but before it could overwhelm her senses, another strange rush of anger surged forth as Xiu's elbow slammed into his stomach with full force making him gag.
Xiu got out of his grip and glared at him while he did the same through his bloodshot eyes. ”Wh*re!”
Xiu who was thinking of running dropped the idea. She couldn't run from a man anyway. He'd catch up. She knew that. She had the experience. But what got the blood to hum in her veins in determination and anger was what he called her.
He rushed over and suddenly his fist was about to slam into her face. Xiu used her hairpin and pierced it right through his shoulder before he could touch her.
”Wh*re?” She repeated as she held his shoulder which was bleeding now and pressed on it. Xiu tilted her head back a little before slamming it right against his.
Stars burst into her vision which she tried to shake off and so did he while trying to kick her. It was sloppy. One could tell he was drunk when his shoe even came off because of his sloppy kick. Taking advantage of the situation, she easily evaded it before stepping her heel onto his foot and using all her weight to crush his feet.
He pushed her away with much force which made her not only step back but also fall on the pavement harshly. While he was taking a step towards her, he heard a low grunt and then turned his head, his jaw came into contact with someone's foot.
The man fell on the ground and passed out.
Ying was busy on her phone but when Xiu fell that's when she noticed the commotion. She dropped her phone ran over to Xiu's side. After dealing with the man, she saw Xiu sitting there on the cold ground with a blank look on her face. It kind of scared Ying.
”Xiu! Xiu!” she tried to shake her awake but the later stayed unresponsive. ”Say something, damn it!”
Xiu turned her head a little when she finally felt the warmth of someone's arms around her and looked up at Ying's face.
She clutched Ying's collar into her fist as she spoke in a low voice, ”You came like a knight but without the shining armor.” Her words made Ying's eyes-widen in shock while Xiu's head fell to a side and she lost consciousness.
