ATBIRFBB Chapter 170

Compared to Fu Yuling’s experiences, Luo Xiao’s situation was much worse.

He was currently hiding alone in a corner and trembling. He had covered his head with a piece of cloth and was carefully glancing around. When his eyes met a few men who were dressed similarly yet kept looking around, he quickly retracted his head in fright.

His stomach was hollow from hunger. He supported himself by one hand against the wall and felt a bit dizzy.

The money Fu Yuling had lent him was already spent, and he was currently staying at his brother’s house. For some unknown reason, he had recently encountered some people who would start beating him up whenever they saw him, and their strength was quite real.

As a result, he was now too afraid to return to his brother’s house because those people were waiting for him there.

It had been since noon yesterday since he last ate. He was not only in physical pain but also emotionally distressed. No matter where he went, a group of people was searching for him.

He had thought for days without figuring out who he had offended. The only suspect was Li Yan.

But he had no evidence. The thought that he was merely speculating made Luo Xiao feel wronged, having been beaten for no reason and now being homeless.

Thinking of this, he felt that he couldn’t just sit here and wait for death.

Just as he was about to go out, he suddenly saw a familiar figure.

The two made eye contact, and that person saw him as well.

“Mumu!”

Luo Xiao was exceptionally happy to see the person, almost rushing over for a hug.

Mumu was merely confused seeing him. It had been a long time since their last meeting.

“Luo Xiao? What are you doing here?”

Luo Xiao waved his hand dismissively. “Don’t mention it, I’m so hungry.”

Facing Luo Xiao’s pleading expression, which resembled that of a stray dog, Mumu didn’t refuse.

“Let’s go.”

She was dressed quite simply, and her previously short hair had grown out a bit. Coupled with her delicate face, she looked like a special agent gathering information.

As she took a step outside, she was suddenly pulled back.

“You…”

Luo Xiao covered her lips with his hand. The warmth and softness startled him for a few seconds, but he quickly released her.

“I didn’t mean to…”

He feared she would misunderstand and explained hastily, “There are people outside looking for me. I’m hiding here because of them. If we go out together, we’ll be exposed.”

Mumu took a deep breath to steady her nerves. “What should we do then?”

Luo Xiao frowned. He realized he still needed to hide. After all, he couldn’t fight so many people alone, and he wasn’t looking to get seriously hurt.

“Wait a moment.”

Luo Xiao had an idea and rushed over to some dirt on the side, bending down to smear mud on his face. With his already disheveled appearance now completed with dirt, he turned around and smiled at himself, revealing only a row of white teeth.

His comical look was all the more amusing, but Luo Xiao remained unaware, and his smile grew wider.

Mumu found it hard to hold back. Considering it, she turned her back to him, her smile growing bigger and bigger.

“What are you laughing at?”

Luo Xiao suddenly appeared in front of her, and the sight of a mud-covered figure made Mumu take a few steps back.

Luo Xiao instinctively reached to hug her but realized his hands were covered in mud and quickly pulled them back.

Under Mumu’s shocked eyes, Luo Xiao awkwardly touched his nose. He didn’t mean for it to happen.

Fortunately, having dressed as a boy for years had kept Mumu’s physical condition decent. She quickly steady herself from falling.

“Luo Xiao!”

When she suddenly shouted, Luo Xiao naturally knew that he was wrong and lowered his head in apology.

“I’m wrong, okay?”
