Chapter 26 : Patron, Please Keep Me 6 (2/2)
The newly-appointed boyfriend Lu Qingyun, “…”
And Xia Man who had been staring at Shi Sheng this whole time twitched her lips. ‘Wasn’t she Xi Mo’s woman? How come she suddenly became this man’s girlfriend?’
And the other hostages in the coffee shop all cast admiring glances at Shi Sheng. ‘Young love is just so touching!’
But once they got a look at Lu Qingyun’s face, a few young ladies felt envious inside. They were willing to share life and death with such a hot guy too ah!
The cops outside were making a fuss by now. Perhaps the robber felt like he had wasted too much time for he didn’t stop to consider any longer as he railed at her, “Get up! Don’t try anything funny. Put your hands where I can see ‘em.”
Shi Sheng immediately got up and made her way to Lu Qingyun’s side. She grabbed his arm, not forgetting to shoot him a smile.
The robbers wanted the police to prepare a car within half an hour or else they would kill the hostages.
“Hi, you scared?” Shi Sheng asked Lu Qingyun in a small voice.
Lu Qingyun stood there casually, his posture languid. His clear voice, containing some hints of ill-intentioned laughter, spoke, “There are people accompanying me to die, why would I be afraid?”
His obscure gaze swept on the hand Shi Sheng was using to hold onto his arm. His smile only grew brighter though and the world seemed to lose its colours.
Shi Sheng’s scalp tingled as her inner warning bells sounded. She hesitated a bit but in the end, didn’t release him.
“Take a guess as to how long it’ll take for them to rescue us.” Shi Sheng’s gaze landed on the cops outside who were still undergoing negotiations with the robbers through a loudspeaker.
“Perhaps they won’t be able to.”
“Don’t worry, see that girl beside you?” Though she was speaking words of consolation, her tone wasn’t consoling at all. “Follow her and you definitely won’t die. Though you might get injured.”
Lu Qingyun cast a glance at Xia Man who was standing on his other side. Xia Man’s gaze stared straight ahead. Her chin and back were tensed up, she was clearly nervous. Her appearance was completely unlike his self-appointed ‘girlfriend’, whose body was completely relaxed.
“How do you know I won’t die if I follow her?”
‘Dummy, of course it’s because of the protagonist halo!’
Of course, she couldn’t tell him this so Shi Sheng merely smiled as she instigated him, “Why don’t you go test whether you can kill her?”
System was on the brink of collapse. ‘THE TASK WAS TO LET YOU FLIRT WITH A GUY, NOT INSTIGATE THE VILLAIN TO ATTACK THE FEMALE LEAD.’

Xia Man was standing a bit farther so she couldn’t hear what Lu Qingyun and Shi Sheng were saying but she saw their ill-intentioned gazes land on her. Her entire body stiffened. This feeling was stranger than when she was being held at gunpoint.
The policemen outside were speechless as well. ‘Why do we get the feeling these two hostages are feeling rather carefree? They’re even having a bloody conversation! The hell, can’t you guys be more professional, this is an action scene, not a romance scene!!!’
[1] I might have taken some liberties with this one. The raws implied she wanted to give a bad review but I figured this would keep the original meaning more.
