Shen Yun tilted his body and raised an eyebrow.
"It's dark, where are you going? Not afraid of snakes anymore?" He always poked at the sore spots.
Su Xiaoqi's heart skipped a beat.
It took her a while to react, thinking that snakes wouldn't appear much at night.
No, she seemed to have read some snake profiles back then.
Let alone ordinary snakes, venomous snakes were divided into three categories.
The first category liked to be active during the day. The second category feared strong light, preferred to hide during the day, and was active at night.
The third category was mostly active at night and on cloudy days, and was highly cold-resistant.
So, what Shen Yun said was indeed correct.
There was indeed a high possibility of those creatures being active at night.
But she had promised Zhao Hai'e to meet her.
She had already kept her waiting for a while, and it would be unreasonable not to go now.
Shen Yun naturally knew what she was going to do.
After Zhao Xiaohua reminded him today, he had already found out.
He couldn't tell, he thought Zhao Hai'e was just foolish, but he didn't expect her heart to be so insidious and cruel.
It was almost like the past Su Xiaoqi.
Shen Yun placed his pen on the table, walked closer to Su Xiaoqi, crossed his arms, and looked down at her.
Now, he just wanted to know if she would tell him proactively.
"Oh, don't look at me like that.
Let me tell you the truth, this is actually your fault.
If you didn't have such a face that attracted bad luck.
I, how could I have...
Oh, I can't explain it clearly to you.
In short, you just need to know that your admirer has challenged me and asked me to go and fight with her later."
Su Xiaoqi rolled up her sleeves, looking displement at Shen Yun's face.
Shen Yun curved his lips, her unreasonable demeanor was indeed a little cute.
He leaned in and pressed his hands on her shoulders, saying, "You're so easily persuaded. She asked you to go, and you just go.
Aren't you afraid she'll have wicked intentions against you?"
Su Xiaoqi scoffed, and took out a powder packet wrapped in cotton cloth from her chest.
Seeing this, Shen Yun reached out to take it.
Su Xiaoqi quickly withdrew it, tucked it back into her chest, and said mysteriously, "Are you sure you want to take it?"
Shen Yun said, "Aren't you taking it yourself? Is there any particular reason?"
Su Xiaoqi smiled, suddenly thinking of something and saying, "Did you find something out?"
Shen Yun spread his hands, "What should I have found out?"
"Who knows what you found out?"
Su Xiaoqi was playing riddles with him.
It seemed like they hadn't said anything, but in reality, they had said everything.
Then, the two hit it off and decided to go together to check the situation.
The road at night was a bit dark. Su Xiaoqi couldn't find her way even during the day, let alone now.
One could imagine how wise the decision to bring Shen Yun was.
Under the moonlight, Su Xiaoqi walked cautiously.
The village path went up steps, then down slopes.
If she wasn't careful, she would fall.
At the same time, she couldn't help but recall a saying: the dark and windy night is suitable for doing bad things.
So, when Shen Yun's hand reached out, she didn't refuse.
Su Xiaoqi was never someone who would mistreat herself.
Knowing there was a pit ahead and she might fall into it, but refusing Shen Yun's kindness out of pretentiousness, she wouldn't do that.
A moment later, guided by the moonlight, they arrived at the agreed meeting spot between Su Xiaoqi and Zhao Hai'e.
Su Xiaoqi's hearing was exceptionally sharp.
Before they even got close, she could hear the breathing of two people.
One was heavy, definitely a man, and the other was a soft moan, which she knew must be Zhao Hai'e.
Her heart tightened, and she suddenly gripped Shen Yun's fingers.
Shen Yun immediately felt her nervousness.
He clasped her hand in return, covered it with his other hand, and gently patted the back of her hand to comfort her.
Su Xiaoqi gritted her teeth, she wasn't that afraid.
The moment she decided to come, she had already made up her mind.
She gently withdrew her hand and pressed the cotton cloth bag in her chest.
This also gave her the courage to move forward.
She lifted her foot to step forward.
But Shen Yun pulled her back. In the dim light, he hugged her waist and whispered, "Don't go, I'll go."
Su Xiaoqi was taken aback and whispered, "This isn't good, is it?"
She was the one who had agreed to Zhao Hai'e's meeting.
"You know there's a tiger in the mountain, yet you still head towards it. This isn't like you," Shen Yun said, teasingly scraping her chin with his index finger.
He took advantage of her inattention and smoothly snatched her cotton cloth bag from her chest.
"Hey..." Su Xiaoqi was still hesitating whether to use it.
But Shen Yun walked too fast. As she called out to stop him, he had already reached under the agreed-upon locust tree.
By this time, the sky was only bright enough for people to see silhouettes, not distinguish faces.
As soon as Shen Yun reached the designated spot, a figure jumped out from behind the large tree.
Without a word, it lunged at Shen Yun, pounced on him, and started biting at Shen Yun's face.
Su Xiaoqi watched from not far away as the two dark figures grappled, from standing to falling to the ground.
She covered her mouth in surprise.
She had expected Zhao Hai'e to have ill intentions towards her.
But she didn't expect her to deliberately hide a man to do such a thing to her.
This was clearly an attempt to defile her body and ruin her purity.
Her heart trembled, thinking that the feeling of seeing it with her own eyes was completely different.
Witnessing it firsthand was more shocking, and more infuriating.
She instinctively reached for her chest, only to find it empty, then remembered that Shen Yun had already presciently taken it away.
Su Xiaoqi gnashed her teeth in hatred.
If she had felt a bit guilty about preparing these insidious things earlier,
then now she felt fortunate.
These things could guarantee her safety when her body and life were threatened.
She believed Shen Yun could handle it.
So she didn't step forward.
Instead, she watched quietly, waiting. Her slender fingers were already clenched into fists.
She whispered to herself, "Five, four, three, two..."
Shen Yun was even more angry than she had imagined. He made his move before she had finished counting.
However, he didn't use the cotton cloth bag, but instead, he threw a punch directly at the person who had tackled him.
No man could tolerate such a disgusting act.
He knocked the man down and threw two more punches, each one landing with force, directly at the man's heart.
The man cried out in pain:
"Ah, damn it, damn your ancestors, it hurts so much, it hurts so much..."
Hearing the familiar voice, Shen Yun's face immediately darkened.
It was him again – Zhao Guanggun.
Last time, he had taken advantage of the chaos to sneak into his house and harass Xiaoqi, but in the end, not only did he fail, but he was also beaten up by Xiaoqi instead.
He had initially thought of letting him off for the time being.
But he didn't expect him to be so incorrigible.
After more than a month, he was still having wicked ideas.
And colluding with Zhao Hai'e.
Since that was the case, he would let them connect properly.
Shen Yun stepped on Zhao Guanggun's chest, opened the cloth bag, and threw a handful of powder onto Zhao Guanggun's head, face, and hands.
"Hey..." Seeing his action, Su Xiaoqi was so frightened that she couldn't hide her presence anymore.
She covered her mouth and nose with a handkerchief and immediately ran over, reaching out to block Shen Yun's mouth and nose.
Shen Yun then realized that in his anger, he had forgotten to ask Su Xiaoqi what kind of powder it was.
But it was clear that it was colorless and odorless, but it acted on the mouth and nose.
Su Xiaoqi didn't have time to explain, and dragged him away, running wildly, "Let's go."
