Chapter 550: Chapter 550: The Inexplicable Woman
Xu Ke and Ariel finished talking and intended to leave hand in hand, but at that moment, they were stopped by a girl.
"You think you can just leave after hitting me? There’s no such easy thing in this world. Today, unless you give me an explanation, no one is leaving." The girl shouted loudly, grabbing Xu Ke’s arm.
"What on earth is going on with you? If you want to argue, take it outside. Don’t shout and scream in the cinema. Do you have any public decency?"
Getting annoyed by the woman’s noise, a spectator couldn’t help but speak up, "Exactly, if you want to argue, go home and do it there. Coming to a cinema to fight, is your head filled with water?"
The remarks from the two spectators gained approval from the majority of the audience.
Ever since Xue Ke returned to Shangjing, he had never faced such a public mocking scene. Facing it suddenly brought Xu Ke back to those old feelings for a moment.
"Sorry, we’re leaving now." Xu Ke said earnestly.
"If there’s anything to discuss, do it outside. Don’t disturb others here." Xu Ke said this to the girl and then pulled Ariel to leave.
The girl just couldn’t get over it, nor would she.
She had sacrificed a lot today to win over Xu Ke; she couldn’t just give up halfway like this.
So the girl collected herself, picked up her small bag, and followed Xu Ke out.
Looking at the empty corridor, a hint of satisfaction emerged in the girl’s heart.
"Alright, now that I’ve come out, it’s time for you to give me an explanation. I can’t just take those slaps in vain." The girl said, arms crossed and head held high, exhibiting an air of superiority towards Ariel.
"If anyone should apologize, it should be you to my girlfriend, although my girlfriend apologizing is impossible. If there’s nothing else, clear the way and don’t delay us from moving on." Xu Ke said, looking at the girl’s face.
"How can you be so partial? What’s so special about her that I don’t have!"
Even at this point, Xu Ke was still standing by Ariel’s side, speaking for her.
The fire in the girl’s heart, originally burning solely for Ariel, finally began to shift its target, catching on Xu Ke.
"She’s my girlfriend, and in my eyes, you’re nowhere near as good as her." Xu Ke remained unaware of the changes in the girl’s mindset, only wanting to send her away quickly and take Ariel home to enjoy their sweet little world of two.
"Hmph!" The girl snorted coldly, hands starting to clench at her sides.
"I don’t care what your girlfriend means to you; she’s nothing to me. And you, don’t think I really can’t find it in me to do something to you. Push me, and I won’t spare you." The girl bared her teeth at Xu Ke, "Don’t forget, we’re at this point because of you. If you hadn’t seduced me, none of this would have happened, so you’re the source of all this trouble." She pointed at Xu Ke’s nose as she spoke.
"Pfft!" Ariel’s light laughter rang out again.
"I’m sorry, continue as if I’m not here." Ariel said with a smile.
Though Ariel was speaking with a smile, there wasn’t much amusement in her eyes.
"Miss, if there’s something wrong, see a doctor in time, stay in the hospital, and take your meds promptly. Don’t run around." Xu Ke gestured to his head, indicating the girl was mentally unbalanced.
"I’ll ask you one last time, are you sure you don’t want to be with me, and won’t dump that bitch?" The girl angrily pointed to Ariel.
"I am sure." Xu Ke responded without hesitation.
"Fine, you’ve got guts. I’ve given you a chance, and you didn’t cherish it, so don’t blame me for being impolite."
After saying this, the girl extended her well-trimmed sharp nails towards Xu Ke’s face.
Her expression carried a hint of madness.
To Xu Ke, the girl’s attack seemed childish, not even taken seriously, as he quickly subdued her.
"Let me go, if you have guts, release me. What I can’t have, no one else can." The girl shouted loudly.
The shrill screams filled the corridor, attracting the staff of the cinema.
"Sir, what happened here? What’s going on?" A staff member asked urgently as they saw Xu Ke pinning the girl against the wall.
"She’s crazy, help me contact a hospital and send her for treatment." Xu Ke said coldly.
"I’m not sick, you’re the one who’s sick. Let go of me, or I’ll scream harassment." The girl threatened Xu Ke.
"Suit yourself." Xu Ke replied indifferently.
"What are you all waiting for? Call now!" Seeing the cinema staff do nothing, Xu Ke urged.
The girl’s wild struggle with dishevelled hair indeed seemed mentally off.
"Please find the best psychiatric hospital for her; she seems seriously ill, and I’m afraid an ordinary hospital won’t suffice." Ariel said worriedly.
The staff had a hint of hesitation, but it disappeared the moment Ariel spoke.
"Okay, okay. Please restrain her, I’ll call now. We’re sorry for ruining your cinema experience." The staff apologized to Xu Ke and Ariel while dialing.
"It’s alright, it’s also a contribution to society in a way." Ariel said with a bright smile.
"I’m not sick, don’t listen to this little bitch’s nonsense, release me. I’m not sick, I’m not going to the hospital, I’m telling you again, I’m not sick! You’re the ones who are sick, don’t be deceived by this little bitch." The girl’s loud shouts only strengthened the staff’s resolve to call.
"Don’t worry, the doctors will surely cure you, and you must cooperate well with the treatment!" Ariel gently said as she smoothed the girl’s hair.
"Don’t touch me with your filthy hands, I find it disgusting." The girl opened her mouth to bite Ariel’s finger, but Xu Ke pushed her back with a force.
"Baby, her appearance scares me so much!" Ariel suddenly hid behind Xu Ke, clutching his shirt tightly, speaking aggrievedly.
"Don’t be afraid, I’m here to protect you." Xu Ke knew Ariel was having fun, and didn’t expose her act, but played along, agitating the girl even more.
Ariel, knowing what the girl cared most about, deliberately flaunted it in front of her. Xu Ke almost couldn’t keep her pinned several times.
Luckily, the hospital personnel arrived quickly, well-trained, and took over Xu Ke’s position.
"The patient is aggressive, I suggest you take some measures." Xu Ke advised the healthcare personnel who replaced him.
"He’s right, this woman’s quite strong and aggressive; you should be careful." A staff member who witnessed the whole process agreed with Xu Ke.
