There was no anger at all in his voice, but instead it was full of... pampering.
I was so excited that I finally couldn't help but say, "Luo Xiangdong, let me go!"
Luo Xiangdong held me down and replied, "I'll let go. Can you talk to me properly?"
I was so angry that my teeth were itching. I still remembered that when I first met him, he was particularly fond of negotiating terms with me. If possible, I wanted to yell, but the current situation is not as good as others, so I had to swallow my anger for the time being, and replied with one word in a muffled voice: "Yes."
After a few seconds, Luo Xiangdong's hands slowly loosened their grip on my arms, and then his body moved a little further away from me. I quickly pushed him and backed away to the corner.
Luo Xiangdong asked aloud: "Are you afraid of me?"
I was so angry that I was shaking all over, clenched my fists and said, "I find you disgusting!"
Luo Xiangdong remained silent.
We were alone in a small corridor of less than five square meters, and he was only two and a half steps away from me. I put my whole body on guard, thinking that if he dared to take a step closer to me for a while, I would have to shout loudly for him even if I was brave.
A big living person let him be bullied
There was a wall behind me, and Luo Xiangdong in front of me. I didn't even have my bag in my hands, and I was quickly thinking of countermeasures in my mind.
Xu Shi was silent for ten seconds before Luo Xiangdong's cold voice came. He said, "Don't you find it disgusting to be with Ji Guanxin? It's disgusting if I touch you?!"
I could tell that he was really angry.
I didn't answer immediately, not because I couldn't answer, but because I was wondering if the consequences of irritating him were something I could afford at the moment.
Of course I'm not afraid that Luo Xiangdong will hit me, but I'm afraid that he will insult me in anger. If that's the case, then I will really be unlucky for eight lifetimes.
When I said I found Luo Xiangdong disgusting, I didn't say it out of anger, but sincerely. The only person I don’t want to see now is him. I wish I could stay far away from him. It’s best not to see anyone again in this life.
The places he touched were dirty to me, and I felt sorry for Ji Guanxin. If Ji Guanxin knew that I met Luo Xiangdong in private, he would probably be furious again.
All I could think about was weighing the pros and cons, so I didn’t reply for a long while.
Luo Xiangdong's anger gradually increased, and he almost gritted his teeth and said, "I'm asking you a question!"
I was so frightened that my hands hanging by my sides tightened and loosened, and then tightened again. After a few seconds, I whispered back to him: "You came to me just to ask if I am sincere about being with Ji Guanxin, right?"
"Okay, let me tell you, I really like Ji Guan..."
I tried very hard to tell Luo Xiangdong in a calm and low-key tone, for fear of irritating him, but I still pissed him off.
Before I finished speaking, I saw Luo Xiangdong rushing toward me.
"Ah..." I screamed instinctively in fear, and my first reaction was to squat down.
I squatted against the corner, but Luo Xiangdong came over and grabbed my arm, trying to lift me up.
I simply stretched out my legs and sat on the ground, shouting while tearing at him: "Someone, help!"
Luo Xiangdong must have never dreamed that I would treat him like this. I was like a naughty child, fluttering my limbs to prevent him from touching me. He wanted to drag me up, but after all, the corridor was dark and I was leaning in the corner, so it was difficult for him to do it.
In the chaos, I kicked his calf several times and yelled, "Get out of here! Don't touch me!"
I grabbed the back of his hands and even his face. My shouts and Luo Xiangdong's deep and rapid breathing were the only ones heard in the corridor.
The moment he grabbed my arm and lifted me off the ground, I caught a glimpse of a light in the corridor ahead. It was the door of a house opposite.
When I saw this, I immediately shouted loudly: "Here, help!"
The people on our floors are all people from travel agencies, and there seems to be a male employee living in 802. Hearing my shout, someone rushed over immediately, two men.
When they saw Luo Xiangdong grabbing my arm, they immediately pointed at him and shouted: "What are you doing?!"
"Let go now!"
Luo Xiangdong tilted his head and said, "Get out!"
I trembled: "Call the police..."
One of the two men came forward to try to stop Luo Xiangdong, and the other took out a hand to scare Luo Xiangdong: "You hurry up, or I will call the police."
While he was talking, a tall and thin man came over and stretched out his hand to tug Luo Xiangdong's arm. Luo Xiangdong reached back and hit the man's face with his elbow.
The man said 'Hmm' and leaned back against the wall, covering his face.
Another man saw this and hurriedly came forward to help.
Luo Xiangdong let go of me and knocked him to the ground with one kick.
I was stunned and shouted loudly: "Luo Xiangdong, get the hell out of here!"
Luo Xiangdong was so angry that he turned to look at me, raised his finger and pointed at the tip of my nose, and said word for word: "Liang Zijin, you are guarding me like a thief, you are so cruel!"
This wasn't the first time someone pointed at me, and I was annoyed by this action the most. But when Luo Xiangdong pointed at me, I didn't feel angry, I just felt... scared.
I really can't beat him, or even scold him. Otherwise, we wouldn't have ended up like this.
Luo Xiangdong never thought that I would say call the police. Maybe he didn't expect that I would be so repulsive to him, so repulsive that I didn't want him to move even one of my fingers.
I didn't say a word, and Luo Xiangdong turned and left.
My whole body tensed up, as if someone had cast a restraining spell on my body. Even though I saw two men staggering around in the corridor, it still took me a few seconds before I walked over quickly.
In the middle of the night, I went to the hospital with a strange man whom I had never met before at the travel agency, and helped another strange man who was also a stranger but had a nosebleed from Luo Xiangdong.
The one who got kicked was fine, but the other was unlucky. The doctor said he had a serious broken nose and needed surgery. I quickly paid the surgery fee and sat on the bench outside the operating room to wait.
The man who was kicked only now had time to talk to me. He asked me, "Who was that just now?"
My face turned pale and I was silent for a while before saying, "Enemy."
The man even managed a smile and said, "What kind of hatred is there between men and women? At most, it's just the ex-boyfriend."
I didn't answer, so he continued: "When you moved in, Yifan greeted us and asked us to take care of you more. Unexpectedly, it really came in handy today."
I said: "I'm so sorry for you two today..."
He smiled lightly and said: "Well, I can't help you with anything. Fortunately, you didn't suffer any loss, otherwise you wouldn't be able to explain to Yifan." After saying that, he added: "Actually, the security guards here are not doing a good job. Okay, there is no swiping card at the back door of the community, so anyone can enter. There is also a safety ladder behind the unit, just climb up. Fortunately, you shouted loud enough today, and neither of us fell asleep, otherwise it would be really over."
I asked: "I don't know what your name is yet."
"Han Junbo, the one inside is called Lu Cong. Yifan and we are classmates in the university."
I said, "Thank you both, I'm sorry."
Han Junbo said: "It's okay. Everyone needs help when it comes to this matter. We can't just watch."
Han Junbo and I sat outside the operating room for more than forty minutes while the doctor and nurse rolled out the bed. Lu Cong's entire nose was wrapped with gauze. The doctor said: "He will have to be hospitalized for observation for a week, and he will not be discharged until the nose bone is corrected and the congestion subsides."
Han Junbo asked Lu Cong: "Brother, how are you?"
Lu Cong replied in a muffled voice: "Don't let me know which bastard is so cruel. I'll fight him... Ouch, it hurts me to death."
The nurse said: "Which one of you will pay the hospitalization fee for the patient?"
I immediately said, "I'll hand it over."
Lu Cong was lying on the bed, and he said in a low voice: "Hey, I don't need you, you can take care of Da Bo."
Han Junbo responded, and I stopped him and said, "Hurry up and accompany him, I'll hand it over."
After such an accident, it was useless to just say sorry. I went with the nurse to pay the hospitalization fee, which together with the previous surgery fee cost me a small 20,000 yuan.
When I returned to the ward, Han Junbo and Lu Cong were chatting. I apologized to Lu Cong, and he was very open and didn't blame me at all. He also said that he would go back to the community security to comment and ask them to pay for his newly made prosthetic nose in Korea and give it to me. Very funny.
Not long after, the nurse came into the ward and said, "The patient needs to rest. We have round-the-clock nursing care here. You don't need to be here. Go back early."
After saying hello to Lu Cong, Han Junbo and I left the hospital and took a taxi home.
On the way, Han Junbo said: "Anyway, we live on the first floor. I heard that you only have Sunday off a week. From then on, Lu Cong and I will be responsible for escorting you home until you enter the house."
I said, "Thank you both. When Lu Cong is discharged from the hospital, I will treat you to dinner."
Han Junbo smiled and said, "Easy to say."
Han Junbo literally sent me to the door of his house and watched me enter before leaving.
I collapsed on the sofa, exhausted both physically and mentally, and looked at the clock on the wall. It was already two o'clock in the morning.
I had led a group all day long and had to go to a dinner party with Ji Guanxin in the evening. I was so sleepy at the dinner table that I almost fell asleep. I didn't expect that something like this would happen when I got home. Now I am extremely tired. On the contrary, I felt refreshed and not sleepy at all.
After taking a bath, I lay on my bed, tossing and turning, waiting for dawn. I got up just after six in the morning to clean up, put on makeup, and then went to the hotel to pick up the tour group.
The whole day was spent non-stop getting on and off the bus, visiting tourist attractions and explaining. I always have a smile on my face, and I feel strange when I accidentally see my own face in the reflection several times.
I couldn't do this in the past. I kept nothing hidden in my heart and had to express every little emotion.
But now, I can fight with Luo Xiangdong, send others to the hospital, and then wake up in the morning and work like a normal person.
I'm afraid of myself like this, because I'm not used to it, so I feel unfamiliar.
But occasionally when I have some free time, I think about it and think that I am pretty good the way I am now. At least all my energy is not focused on love.
A person's life is short, but there are many things. I can't live just for love. I also have my own life.
