Quick Wear: Saving the Sickly and Paranoid Villain

Two groups of people gathered downstairs, discussing the next search plan separately. Too many people often easily lead to conflicts, especially when they are in different camps.

Xu Meir gently pushed the window open a crack, and relying on her petite figure, she tiptoed carefully and moved quietly upstairs.

As she climbed, she kept an eye on the crowd in the distance. They had their backs to her, and if someone suddenly turned around, they would most likely discover her.

She still gritted her teeth, desperately holding on to the cold window frame, and stood on tiptoe trying to reach the cold wall.

Fortunately, Xu Meir was thin but very flexible at this time. She looked at the white wall in front of her, thinking about how she used to climb trees, and climbed up quickly. Finally, she climbed to the window on the second floor.

She stood by the window and looked down. The two groups of people were still standing there. The two leading people were pointing at something, as if they were dividing the search area. It seemed that they had already negotiated it.

Time was running out. Xu Meir looked inside through the half-open curtains, and unexpectedly met a pair of dark, bright eyes.

Lu Qingheng couldn't hide his surprise. He walked forward quickly with his lips slightly parted. Xu Meir made a gesture to keep quiet.

He closed his lips, his worry evident in his expression. How could she dare to stand there in such a dangerous place? He quickly opened the window and handed her his hand:

"Come over here, it's too dangerous."

Xu Meir held his hand and jumped into the room.

After seeing her stand firm, Lu Qingheng quickly closed the window. He wanted to draw the curtains as well, but after thinking about it, he finally left it open.

He pulled Xu Meir aside, deliberately avoiding the window, half-knelt and looked up at her: "Why did you come here alone? Do you know how dangerous it is? What if you fell down like you did just now?"

His eyes were like the deep night sky, dark as ink, yet glittering with bright light, like the dazzling stars. His care was genuine and sincere, without any falsehood. After she grew up, she never met another person like him.

She raised her hand, gently brushed across the boy's delicate eyebrows, and slowly smiled: "I want to stay with you."

The boy was stunned. The little girl's face was dirty, as if covered with dust and dirt; her clothes were also very messy, as if she had gone through a difficult journey. In order to come to him, she must have suffered a lot. At this moment, his heart was filled with complex emotions, and a sour feeling surged in his heart.

Neither he nor she is a heinous criminal, so why do they have to suffer like this?

"I..." He turned his head away, his voice choked. Xu Meir clearly saw a faint red at the corners of his eyes.

"You should listen to me, then you will be adopted by your father, and you will have a good life in the future, and you won't...you won't suffer all this."

Intellectually, Xu Meir knew that she couldn't convince the boy, but she stared at him with a stubborn look in her clear eyes: "But I want to be with you."

"Accompany..." The boy was touched and angry at the same time, "Why are you accompanying me? I'm going to jail, do you want to accompany me too?"

As if he realized that his tone was wrong, he paused, softened his voice, and said in a somewhat inducing way: "Don't worry about me, I won't be sentenced for too long, maybe I can be released in two or three years."

"Besides, if you're also in jail, then there's no point in me doing this. Just think of it as... just think of it as doing it for me, and distance yourself from this matter."

Lu Qingheng knew that if he told everyone what Yang Laoba had done, even if he still said that he had killed the person, the sentence he would be sentenced to would be much less than what he was getting now, but he didn't want to.

He didn't want the little girl to suffer from rumors and gossip in the future. He hoped that she could live a clean life, so he was willing to take all the blame and hide the so-called truth.

But what he didn't know was that what he tried so hard to hide was clearly investigated by the royal family and the Lu family, and soon this matter would be made public, and all the people of the empire would know about it.

From then on, people would mention this incident from time to time throughout Xu Meir's growth, as if it was a stain that she would never be able to get rid of in her life.

Even though she was a victim, people didn't care about that.

There was no ripple in Xu Meir's heart. She had already been sad when she should be sad, and had already suffered when she should be in pain. Now these things could no longer hurt her in the slightest.

All these emotions gradually became vague. Now, there was only one thing she wanted to do. She raised her head slightly and looked at the person in front of her, her eyes gradually becoming firm.

"But," she hugged him gently, "I'm already here, let me stay with you first, and we'll talk about the future later. By then, we'll all be fine."

The young man understood this as Xu Meir's agreement to him. When he heard her say that she wanted to stay, there was a slight struggle between his brows, but he finally nodded in agreement. He had never been able to refuse her.

As he finished speaking, he saw a faint smile on the little girl's face.

When they first met, she was very wary of him, let alone smiling at him, but now, she began to smile more often.

That would be nice, if it weren't for this situation.

The sound of "thump thump" regular footsteps was getting closer and closer. Lu Qingheng quickly turned his head to look at the little girl. The little girl looked up at him, and her dark and bright eyes were full of his figure.
