summer sinking

Chapter 2 02. Mint Lime
"Stop! What do you want to do?!"

The high-pitched roar will make anyone tremble when they hear it, or they will be startled even if they don't tremble three times.

She, Li Niannian, is the second-generation descendant of the ancestral lion's roar technique, which is passed down from her mother.

The middle-aged man actually retracted his hand at this sound.

The two employees and customers in the store were all attracted by the loud voice, and some even came to join in the fun.

Their small area became the focus of the audience.

Li Niannian pulled Xu Sui up and took several steps back to protect her. Xu Sui's strange reaction and the man's behavior made her guess two or three of them.

As a girl, although she has never encountered this kind of thing, she has read a lot about it online, so she can understand it very well.

When an introverted girl encounters something like this, she is frightened and doesn't know how to resist or ask for help.On the other hand, I feel vaguely ashamed to talk about this kind of thing from the bottom of my heart.

Especially a girl like Xu Sui who looks introverted and quiet.

Li Niannian turned to look at Xu Sui and asked symbolically, "Do you know this man with a wretched face?"

The man interrupted, pre-empting the conversation, "How did you say that? I am her brother, and this is my sister."

Xu Sui squeezed the hand that Li Niannian held hers, shook his head repeatedly, and said stumblingly, "No... I don't recognize him, he's with me."

Seeing that he was frightened, Li Niannian couldn't control his violent temper at all, and started to curse in anger.

"No way, you don't look in the mirror to see how old you are, and you still call yourself brother? An old brother who is half buried in the ground? Damn you! What a shame!"

An old man was scolded by a young woman in front of so many people. He couldn't save his face, and he suddenly became angry, "You little girl, it's none of your business that I'm talking to my own sister? You **** me ＊＊What the…”

Every word he curses becomes more and more dirty.

Li Niannian was kind enough to help her, but Xu Sui couldn't tolerate someone who was kind to her being insulted because of her.

She mustered up the courage and said loudly: "I don't know you."

The parties involved all said this, and the guests who were watching began to talk about it.

"The little girl said she didn't know her anymore. What are you doing?"

"It's a lot of bad words, really lacking in quality."

"You don't look like a good person. Could you be that kind of human trafficker?"

……

In such a situation, the man softened his attitude, forced out a false smile, and began to explain himself, playing the role of a good brother who fulfilled his duties in daily life.

"Sister, you didn't do well in the exam. My brother said a few words to you, so you ran away from home. Your parents don't care about you, but brothers are like fathers. I can't ignore you. I meant it more seriously. I apologize to you. Don't be angry with me. You see, you have to make such a fuss. It doesn't look good. Come on, let's go home."

As he said that, he stepped forward to grab Xu Sui's arm.

Li Niannian stopped in front, "I told you that I don't recognize you anymore. I'm warning you not to come over. The store is under surveillance. What you just wanted to do was recorded. If you come here again, I'll call the police."

The man's words caused several "kind-hearted" people present to change their opinions on him, and in turn started talking about Xu Sui and Li Niannian.

They are all questions such as "Children today are really ignorant. They want to run away from home just because of the smallest thing. They are pretentious and do not understand the care of adults at all." "Girls are really serious about disobeying their brother and pretending not to know him."... something like that.

He spoke not loudly, but loud enough for them to hear.

Things got louder and louder, and Xu Sui felt the noise around him.Her nerves have been in a state of tension, her heartbeat has been irregular for a long time, she has a headache and her brain is swollen, the air she can breathe is getting thinner and thinner, and things are gradually becoming blurry.

She couldn't hold on and fell down heavily.

Xu Sui heard Li Niannian calling her anxiously through her loud wheezing. The people watching the theater were also a little anxious and asked her so-called brother to call an ambulance.

Several police officers came in and detained the man, and the scene was chaotic.The hazy picture in front of Xu Sui's eyes completely disappeared, and his body fell into the dark abyss uncontrollably. In his hazy state, he smelled the fragrance of mint and lime again.

A voice that she seemed to have heard somewhere urged her, "Breathe!"

The medicinal gas was inhaled into the lungs, and the heavy breathing slowly became easier.

When he woke up, Xu Sui felt his forehead was cold, and he must have broken out in a cold sweat.This feeling of exhaustion and weakness was too long, and she half-opened her eyes, unable to recover.

"Better? The ambulance will be here soon."

"My brother is allergic to fish and has allergic asthma. Your symptoms are very similar to when he has an allergic attack. I thought you might bring medicine with you, so I went through your bag without permission. I'm sorry."

"I heard that the man is a habitual offender and will be detained."

The gears in her head that received information had just resumed work, and the operation was slightly stagnant.

It took Xu Sui a short period of time to sort out his thoughts and he became quite sober.

Only then did she realize that she was leaning against the boy's chest.He was half-hugging her in an ambiguous posture.

Normally, her face would be red.

But she is still sitting on the ground while store clerks and police disperse the onlookers.Perhaps only a few minutes had passed, but the feeling of being suffocated to death seemed to her like a long, long time had passed.

Too many things happened one after another during the day, and Xu Sui felt very tired.

It was clear that she had done nothing.

I just went to the library to read books as usual to pass the time, and then took the bus home when the time came.

She thought to herself.

In the future, I have to read the almanac when I go out.

"It's okay, thank you for saving me again."

Xu Sui thanked him weakly and struggled to get up from the ground.

"You're welcome. Whoever sees it will help." Seeing this, Jiang Ye helped her and let her sit on the chair.

He probably said these words to relieve her psychological pressure and so that she wouldn't have to think how great it was that he was helping her.

Xu Sui sat in front of the table and lay down in his arms. She didn't know whether it was because of discomfort or something else.

A big teardrop hit the toe of his canvas shoe.

"No, thank you very much. Without you, I would have almost died."

Jiang Ye heard the girl's choking and was speechless for a moment.He was very clumsy when it came to comforting girls.

He reached out, wanting to pat her shoulder and say a few words to comfort her.

"Would you like some hot water? It should make you feel better."

Li Niannian poured a glass of warm water from somewhere.

Xu Sui straightened up, took a sip of water, smiled and thanked Li Niannian.

Jiang Ye put his hands into his trouser pockets to cover up his embarrassment and told them, "The three of us will need to cooperate in writing a transcript later."

After he said this, he looked at Xu Sui and added, "After you finish the examination, you'd better make a record. It's best to notify your parents."
