Chapter Fifty-Three Something's Really Happened

  At this time, Ji Xin'an had just walked out of the shooting range with Yao Wenhuo, and the two slowly walked back to the bottom of Ji Xin'an's building.

  Yao Wenhao looked up and asked, "Is there still no one at your place?"

  "I'm used to it." Ji Xin'an also looked up and saw that the windows at home were still dark, smiled and said indifferently.

  "You go ahead, I'll watch you leave." Yao Wenhuo looked at her with a gentle smile.

  Ji Xin'an nodded and made a goodbye gesture, "See you tomorrow."

  Yao Wenhao saw her enter the corridor and did not leave, but instead planned to watch her go home and turn on the lights before leaving.

  Ji Xin'an opened the door to her home, and as expected, it was pitch black inside. Her parents hadn't returned yet. Ji Xin'an had advised them to change jobs or quit, but they felt very fond of their current work, even though they often had to work overtime, they didn't feel tired, so they didn't agree.

  Ji Xin'an supports their choice and doesn't complain as much as girls of the same age, really getting used to it like she said.

  As soon as I entered the room and before turning on the light, I heard the phone ringing. "Hello."

  "Is that Ji Xin'an? Ji Xin'an, come quickly, Zou Ze is already drunk here and I can't persuade him no matter what." Yu Yao's voice sounded like she was about to cry.

  "Yu Yao? Where are you guys now?" Ji Xin'an heard the noisy sound from the other end of the phone.

  "I don't know either, I just followed Zou Ze and ended up here." Yu Yao became even more anxious.

  "Don't be in a hurry, tell me what's going on over there." Ji Xin'an heard that she was already flustered and advised her to calm down.

  "It's quite big here, with two floors. Downstairs there are many people dancing, in the middle there is a stage, and someone is leading the dance on it. At the bar inside, there are also people performing cocktail-making tricks. There's nothing else particularly special." Yu Yao looked around but couldn't tell what was different about this place.

  Ji Xin'an thought for a moment, according to what she said, it should be the newly opened largest PUB in the city recently, only there would have such a scale. "Okay, Yu Yao I know where you are, wait for me, I'll be right there."

  "Okay, hurry up." Yu Yao said excitedly with a choked voice.

  Ji Xin hung up the phone, grabbed her bag and rushed downstairs.

  "What's wrong?" Yao Wen-hao saw Ji Xin-an come out again, looking very anxious.

  Yu Yao just called me, Zou Ze got drunk at the bar, she couldn't persuade him to stop drinking, let's go take a look quickly. Ji Xin'an saw that he hadn't left and pulled him to run and hail a taxi.

  "A bar? How would they go to a place like that?" Yao Wen-hao's eyebrows furrowed upon hearing that Yu Yao was also there.

  "This isn't the time to talk about these things, let's go take a look first, I'm afraid something might happen to them." The two of them got into a taxi together.

  "Go to that PUB on Sanjie Street, hurry up." Ji Xin'an quickly explained the location to the driver, but his heart was racing with anxiety. Those two had never been anywhere except school and home, and now Zou Ze was drunk, leaving only Yu Yao alone. What if something happened? He could only comfort himself that the PUB wasn't that chaotic, remembering that it had been open for many years without any incidents.

  "Don't worry, they'll be fine. Weren't they okay just now when you answered the phone?" Yao Wenhuo's heart was also racing upon hearing Yu Yao's voice, but seeing Ji Xin'an like this, he didn't dare to make a fuss anymore.

  Ji Xin'an nodded, thinking hopefully so.

  Yu Yao put down the phone and turned to look at Zou Ze, who had gotten into an argument with someone else. She quickly ran over to pull him away. The person he was arguing with was a boy not much older than them, with hair dyed a rare light yellow color, and tattoos deliberately exposed on his skin. He also had an unlit cigarette tucked behind his ear, as if trying to show off that he wasn't a good person.

  "Sorry about that, he's had too much to drink, really sorry." Yu Yao apologized profusely to the man.

  "Hey, such a pretty girl, what's the point of being with a drunkard? Come with brother, I'll take you out to have fun, I guarantee you'll be happy." The person didn't look at Zou Ze again after she appeared, and even laughed exaggeratedly.

  "We're going back." Yu Yao was a little scared and pulled Zou Ze to leave.

  Huang Mao saw Yu Yao was about to leave and went forward to pull her, "Don't go, come have a drink with us brothers."

  Yu Yao was so frightened that she hid, and Zou Ze didn't know if he was really drunk, but at least he still had a bit of clarity. Seeing him come to grab Yu Yao, he suddenly rushed over and threw a flurry of punches at Huang Mao. The man and his accomplices didn't take him seriously at all, and for a moment they didn't notice, and were actually knocked to the ground by Zou Ze. By the time the others reacted, Huang Mao's face had already been disfigured.

  "Zou Ze, come on, let's go, stop fighting." Yu Yao was startled, she didn't expect Zou Ze to rush over like that. At this moment, she had no time to be emotional, just wanting to get him away quickly.

  But how could others let them off so lightly? As soon as they reacted, several people turned their hands on Zou Ze.

  "Stop it at once, don't hit him!" Yu Yao rushed over as soon as she saw Zou Ze being beaten, but who would listen to her in the chaos? She was also hit countless times while trying to shield Zou Ze.

  When someone saw a fight, the music stopped, and everyone around gathered in a circle, surprisingly excited, some even whistled to cheer them on.

  "Stop it." Ji Xin and An saw the scene as soon as they arrived, and Yu Yao was particularly conspicuous, so she recognized him at once. She ran over with Yao Wenhuo, but there were too many people. Although both of them had practiced for a while, there were so many people that even if they joined the fight, it wouldn't change anything. They could only take the beating together. However, blocking them was still possible, so she went forward and blocked them after taking a few blows.

  "How are you?" Ji Xin'an helped Yu Yao up, who stood up stumbling, her clothes a bit disheveled, it was clear that she had taken quite a beating from the men in front. Looking at Zou Ze, who was already drunk and unconscious, his face was swollen on one side, blood was visible at the corner of his mouth, and his body was covered in dust.

  "It's nothing...brother..." Ji Xin'an asked, still enduring the pain and said it was nothing, but when he saw Yao Wenhuo also there, he finally couldn't hold back his tears.

  "What's going on?" Maybe it was because the music stopped, and finally someone came out to ask.

  "Ba Ge, they made the first move." A few young thugs saw the newcomer and greeted him. The yellow-haired one covered his bruised eye and stepped forward, accusing Zou Ze of being a snitch.

  "You guys are so shameless, a big group of men bullying two students and hitting women. Now you even have the nerve to play the victim?" Ji Xin'an thought that at least she should stand up for herself first, otherwise if they really started fighting, with so many people, even if she transformed into Superwoman, she would only end up getting beaten.

  "You're a waste of space." The violent brother looked at Huang Mao, who was in agony, before turning to Ji Xin'an. "If he hadn't made a move, how would my man have ended up like this?"

  "It's inevitable to get hurt in a group fight, and my friend is also injured. You even hit women, which is too much. Seeing Yu Yao being beaten, Yao Wenhuo was very angry but knew the situation was unfavorable for them now. The most important thing was to take them away quickly."

  "Alright, since you're all talking about different things, let's find a witness to ask." He knew Huang Mao wouldn't dare lie to him. Since the other side had made the first move, everything would be easy to handle. "Waiter, come over and tell us what just happened."

  The bartender walked over after hearing that, "Boss, it was indeed the student who made the first move just now, and they didn't hit the girl either. She ran over and blocked in front of them herself."

  A few words, skipping the previous reasons, directly asking who made the first move. Ji Xian looked at Yu Yao, who was still sober, and saw that she wanted to reason with them, but hesitated, knowing that there must be a reason for this. The bartender didn't want to offend these young thugs, so he spoke to them instead.

  Ji Xin'an and others also couldn't think of anything to refute.

  The author's words: Recently, I found that since the chapter about An An and Yao Wen Hua being together was released, many people have come out to oppose it. Some are opposed to them being together, while others are opposed to her falling in love at this time. In fact, when arranging for them to be together, I also considered it carefully. Ji Xin An, although reborn, has only been in love once, and her past life was very simple, so she is still a very innocent person, whether in her past or present life, she has not encountered the dark side. Although she has emotional scars, she still believes in love. Moreover, having died once, Yao Wen Hua's words struck a chord deep within her heart, which is why she accepted him.

  Maybe it's only after getting hurt that one can truly mature, whether in love or in life.
