Chapter 358 : Green Plum Meets Wine 9 (2/2)
Several dark figures had appeared there. People also rushed out from behind her, trapping Shen Jiayin between the two groups.
“Little lady, hand it over.”
“Hand what over?” Shen Jiayin pretended she didn’t know what they were referring to. “I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
“Little lady, don’t be forced to drink by refusing a toast[2].” In the darkness, Shen Jiayin could make out people approaching her, bringing with them the cloying scent of alcohol.
Her mind whirred as she tried to think of a way to escape…
Right as they were about to reach Shen Jiayin, she suddenly tossed her umbrella at them and ran in the direction she came from, which had less people.
But Shen Jiayin was just a young girl while her pursuers were all grown men, so they soon caught her.
Shi Sheng stood in the shadows, allowing the rain to fall on her. She watched as the men searched Shen Jiayin before beating her up and leaving.
Shen Jiayin was lucky they weren’t the lustful type, else she wouldn’t be able to keep her virginity.
Shi Sheng flipped her somewhat wet hair. She had lured Yin Mo away, and since Shen Jiayin was still shit at fighting, she decided to go over and rub salt on her wounds.
But right as Shi Sheng was going to go over, someone suddenly grabbed her wrist and pressed her against the wall behind.
Shi Sheng subconsciously reacted by lifting her leg to kick her assailant, but they grabbed it and used their own to hold her’s down.
“It’s me.”
Shi Sheng, “…” ‘This idiot.’
Yu Jiu placed a finger on her lips before pointing outside.
Shi Sheng frowned. She heard footsteps sound in the alleyway getting closer before pausing. It then continued again and got further away until it disappeared.
She leaned out to have a peek, but Shen Jiayin was no longer where she had been lying.
Shi Sheng, “…” ‘Oh for fuck’s sake…’
“Xiaoxia-meimei, I hadn’t expected you’d have such talent in being bad.” Yu Jiu didn’t dare to release Shi Sheng. He was quite clear how violent his little green plum could be right now.
“Yu Jiu-gege.” Shi Sheng squeezed these four words out through gritted teeth. “Trying to make me pay for you, and then following me? This score…”
“Hss—”
Yu Jiu hurriedly dodged. The pain in his arm caused him to frown. Under the dim lighting, he could make out a cold gleam.
A sword had somehow appeared in her hand. It appeared like a normal sword, though a very sharp one.
Drip- Drop-
Fresh blood dripped to the ground, staining the rainwater red.
Bzz—
The coldly gleaming blade cut through the rain as it sliced towards him, bringing with it a fierce wind…
Yu Jiu ended up being beaten up to the extent he couldn’t get up.
“Yu Jiu-gege, hope you have fun here tonight.” Shi Sheng spoke as she looked down on him from above. ‘Fuck your mom, think I(lz) can’t deal with an idiot like you?!’
Shi Sheng comforted herself inwardly. ‘This isn’t Feng Ci; he wouldn’t be this obnoxious!’
That made her feel much better.
She stalked off with her sword. As Yu Jiu watched her sword drag across the ground and heard the sharp, screechy noises it made, his lips raised slightly.
‘Seems like my lil green plum is much more interesting than before. Hss… Damn, she hits hard! Hurts…’
Yu Jiu clutched his arm and got up. ‘If I hadn’t been quick in dodging, my face would be ruined.’
He rubbed his face. ‘Okay, I guess my face has been ruined…
How could she bear to do this? My face was so good-looking… I won’t be able to see people for a few days…’
Yu Jiu stared in the direction Shi Sheng had vanished and soundlessly laughed.
He left in the opposite direction from Shi Sheng. His back was obscured by the rain until it was no longer visible.
The heavy rain continued to pour and wash away the bloodstains on the ground, leaving behind the silent, dark alley.
Like nothing had ever happened.
