Liu Yuan paused and quickly quickened his pace.

"Hey, don't leave. Follow me to the hospital and I'll bring you some medicine home."

It was a good thing that he didn't mention this. When he mentioned this, the young man actually took three steps and two steps at a time and started to run quickly.

"Hey, why are you running?!"

Ning Xi didn't know why, and was about to run up to chase him, but was caught by Gu Huaijing.

"He is avoiding you on purpose. What's the use of chasing him?"

Gu Huaijing's voice was indifferent, "Let's get in the car first, aren't we going to the hospital?"

Ning Xi frowned slightly, broke away from his restraint, and looked at Liu Yuan running away several times before turning around and getting in the car.

The car drove slowly through the intersection, and Ning Xi turned her head and looked out the window.

Unexpectedly, in the dark and narrow alley, the middle-aged man who had just touched them was standing in front of Liu Yuan, raising his big palm high——

"stop!"

Ning Xi's pupils shrank sharply, and after shouting angrily out of the car window, she turned her head and looked at Gu Huaijing beside her, "Stop the car."

Gu Huaijing stopped the car as instructed, and when the two of them hurriedly got out of the car and rushed to the alley, the middle-aged man had already fled, leaving only the thin boy with his wrists pinched and red.

"Are you okay?" Ning Xi's eyes were filled with distress, "Come on, follow me to the hospital and find some ointment to apply on it."

Liu Yuan shook his head and was about to leave when his stomach suddenly growled, which was very loud in the empty alley.

A smile appeared on Ning Xi's eyebrows, "Then, let's go have a meal first?"

Seeing that the child wanted to shake his head, she quickly added: "Just think of it as reward for helping us just now."

"You heard it, right? The uncle who broke the porcelain wants 8,000 yuan in compensation. Thanks to you, otherwise we would have to lose money."

Hearing this, Gu Huaijing sneered coldly, "Just him? If you dare to extort compensation, I'll tell him to sit in jail..."

Before he finished speaking, Ning Xi stepped on his foot and whispered through gritted teeth, "Shut up."

Ning Xi rolled her eyes in her heart, not bothering to argue with him, and shifted her gaze to the young man in front of her.

"It just so happens that I didn't have breakfast, so you can go eat with me, okay?"

Seeing her sincere eyes and helping him several times, Liu Yuan bit his lip and nodded gently, "Okay, come with me."

The two people followed the boy and came to a small and crowded wonton shop.

Gu Huaijing had never set foot in a place like this in his life, and he immediately stopped, with a rare complex look on his jade-like handsome face.

Sensing the strangeness of the person next to her, Ning Xi gave him a disgusted look and said, "Mr. Gu, it's better to go back first. After all, you have a noble status, so it's normal for you to look down on the places where common people like us eat."

After saying that, she walked into the store in a good mood.

Gu Huaijing was stunned, and a look of disbelief rose on his handsome face.

This woman actually left him here like this? !

After hesitating for a moment, he followed him into the restaurant.

The restaurant is only about fifty square meters and is filled with tables, chairs and benches, making it look very crowded. Judging from the wear and tear on the floor tiles, they must be old.

However, although the store is narrow and cramped, it is kept extremely neat.

The resistance in Gu Huaijing's heart was a little less, and he strode towards Ning Xi in the corner, sitting next to her without any explanation.

Ning Xi ignored him and gave the shop owner a crooked smile, "Grandma, can you bring me a menu?"

Grandma handed over the menu with a smile and rubbed Liu Yuan's fluffy hair, "Boy, you haven't been here for a while. Grandma misses you so much."

Liu Yuan raised a smile obediently, which was very different from his usual indifferent and distant look.

The smile on grandma's face became more kind, and she turned to look at the two people opposite her, "What do you want to eat? I'll do it now."

Ning Xi's voice was gentle, "Please give me a helping of corn and meat wontons."

After saying that, she kicked Gu Huaijing and said calmly: "What are you eating?"

Gu Huaijing glanced at the obvious footprints on his trouser legs and almost laughed angrily.

"Ning Xi, am I too kind to you? If you dare to kick me again, I will hold you down here..."
