Parallel Lines of Rebirth

Chapter 15: A moment

Views: NaN

Xu Yao was stunned to see Wen Liang almost roughly push her away and chase the girl. She felt an inexplicable anger in her heart. She naturally didn't feel anything towards the silly Wen Liang. As a princess who had been pampered by everyone since she was a child, it was natural for her to be disdainful of those naive boys of the same age. But this didn't mean that she could tolerate such insults from the other party.

After all, when we met on the bus today, Xu Yao had always been very friendly. You don't have to be grateful for the kindness of a beautiful woman, but you should at least show the corresponding courtesy.

Very well, silly boy, you pissed me off!

Xu Yao stamped her foot hard, bit her lower lip, and jumped out of the car door sideways at the moment it closed, causing everyone in the car to exclaim in surprise. The driver wiped his forehead in fear, leaned out of the window and cursed: "Whose child is so naughty? Damn, it's a girl... MD, she's pretty, forget it!"

There was a lot of booing in the car.

Wen Liang followed Tan Xue into the Phoenix Jewelry Store. Although it was a small branch on Mingdu Road with a business area of about 50 square meters, the decoration was very luxurious, and the aura of wealth was overwhelming. If you were not rich, you might have to take a few blue pills before entering. On the other side of the store, a girl was sitting behind the counter, bored, and she didn't even raise her head when she saw someone coming in.

Tan Xue turned around and saw Wen Liang, she became even more curious, but still said politely: "Sir, we will close in five minutes. If you need anything, please come back tomorrow."

Wen Liang opened his mouth, but didn't know how to start. Should I say, "I see your forehead is black, and you're going to have a bloody disaster recently?" It's good that you don't get beaten out...

Tan Xue turned her body to the side and gestured for invitation. Wen Liang scratched his head and thought that since the shop was about to close, it must not have happened today. If he came back tomorrow, maybe there would be a solution.

Just as he was about to leave, Xu Yao rushed in like a gust of wind, circled around Wen Liang twice, and sneered. Wen Liang helplessly spread his hands and said jokingly: "Nowadays, the debtors are all the masters, can't I just not eat your ice cream? Is it necessary to chase and intercept like this?"

"Bah!" Xu Yao gave him a look of contempt. "I noticed you were following this sister, your behavior is very suspicious, so I followed you to see if there is any chance for you to do anything! I'm telling you, one thing is for another, you really have to eat the ice cream. Twenty sticks, I want to watch you eat them all in one bite!"

Wen Liang was speechless. I said I lost 20 ice creams and I didn't change my expression. It turned out that he was waiting for me here! "Let's go buy them now! I grew 24 ribs in vain because I was afraid of you!"

These words were spoken with great pride. Xu Yao was too lazy to pay attention to him, but seeing his arrogant look, she couldn't help but sneer: "The Bible says that women have 24 ribs, and men have exactly one less than women. Do you want to be a woman?"

Tan Xue burst out laughing again and immediately covered her mouth with her hands. She did not forget this strange scene today. Wasn't it caused by her laughter in the car

"Good fellow, you're a cultured man!" Wen Liang rolled up his sleeves, revealing his bare shoulders. "I can't argue with you without my bare chest... The Bible says that God took one of Adam's ribs to create Eve, which only means that Adam has one less bone than Eve. Does the Bible say that their descendants will also be like this for generations to come? Classmate, it's better to have no books than to believe in them blindly. You will become stupid if you study like this..."

With Wen Liang's experience in two lives, how could he be interested in bickering with a little girl in public? He just wanted to use this opportunity to kill the five minutes that Tan Xue mentioned, and only when he saw her close the door and leave, could he feel a little relieved.

Xu Yao was speechless at Wen Liang's sophistry, wrinkled her nose, snorted, and turned around to leave. Just as Wen Liang was about to catch up, a man in green canvas clothes walked in and brushed past Xu Yao.

This man is about 30 years old, with a long face, white face and no beard, small but bright eyes, and his clothes are neat but slightly washed and pale. But it cannot be said that such a person will not come to buy jewelry. Nowadays, no matter whether it is a girl's menstrual cycle, the weather forecast of CCTV, the number of bedwetting of children, or the long-term goals of life, nothing is reliable. Maybe he is a big boss of coal mining

Hmm? Wen Liang's eyes suddenly fixed. Under the man's loose canvas clothes, there was an obvious protrusion on his armpit, with a pointed head and a curved body.

Tan Xue stood in front of the man and said politely, "Sir, we are about to close. Please come back tomorrow!"

The man glanced at Wen Liang and Xu Yao and said in a hoarse voice, "Aren't there still people here? Why don't you do business with us poor people?"

Tan Xue had a friendly smile on her face, "Sir, you are joking. These two friends are also new guests and are about to leave..." Wen Liang seemed to confirm Tan Xue's words. He grabbed Xu Yao's hand and whispered in her ear before she could get angry, "It's dangerous! Leave quickly!"

Raising his hand and pushing Xu Yao out of the door, Wen Liang cursed loudly: "The store is about to close, but you still insist on buying a necklace. Women are so troublesome!" He turned and walked to the man, pointed at a necklace behind the counter, and winked at Tan Xue and said: "I just saw this one, go and get it for me, MD, you have to buy it even if it's expensive."

The man's hand had quietly reached into his bosom when Wen Liang approached him just now. Hearing what he said, he was obviously relieved, and his right hand slipped out of his bosom. Wen Liang's heart was in his throat. He was almost certain that Tan Xue was stabbed to death by the man in front of him. Everything happened so suddenly today, so suddenly that he was not prepared at all. What's worse is that there is Xu Yao who doesn't know the truth outside. If she gets into an accident, it's unimaginable... Now he just hopes that Tan Xue can understand what he said and leave this extremely dangerous distance first.

Tan Xue was stunned for a moment. Wen Liang secretly said that it was bad. Just as he was about to push her to the counter, Tan Xue said, "You didn't see anything just now..."

The next scene shocked Xu Yao, who was still in a daze since being pushed out of the door. Tan Xue's words seemed like a code word. As soon as she said it, Wen Liang rushed forward and punched the man's left temple. Just by looking at the speed and the force of the punch, Xu Yao knew that if this hit the man, he would either die or fall into a severe coma.

The man pulled out a three-foot-long boning knife from his arms, and without dodging, he stabbed Wen Liang in the chest!

"ah!"

"careful!"

Xu Yao, Tan Xue, and the female salesperson who had just raised her head, all exclaimed in surprise.

This was the first time that Wen Liang faced danger so directly. Although compared with the storms he would encounter in the future, this one was the least technically demanding and the most insignificant, it was the most direct and rapid test that the reborn boy had ever encountered when he had no connections, no capital, and no forces to rely on.

It was just a moment, life or death was decided! (To be continued)
