The staff just now brought out a bowl of steaming food, and Luo Xiao felt a bit of warmth wash over him.
Life on earth is still worth it!
When the staff was caught off guard, Luo Xiao had already snatched the food away.
As the staff stood there in shock, Luo Xiao sat there eating with chopsticks in his hand. When he noticed him looking at him, he even waved his chopsticks a couple of times, looking particularly silly.
Mumu could hardly bear to watch. She smoothed out the wrinkles on her clothes, her eyes drifting elsewhere, and she pretended not to know this person.
The staff couldn’t help but laugh at his antics, but he had other matters to attend to and didn’t linger outside.
As Luo Xiao was eating, he felt something stiff and tight on his face.
He felt a bit uncomfortable. He tugged at Mumu’s clothes and said, “My face feels uncomfortable.”
His voice was very soft, which moved Mumu a little.
“What’s wrong?”
“The mud on my face has dried. It feels uncomfortable.”
Mumu was speechless and walked straight into the store, coming out after a while.
Luo Xiao was still eating when suddenly something cool was placed on his face. He reached up and felt it was wet.
“Clean it yourself.”
“Can you help me?”
Mumu just smiled, and Luo Xiao quickly understood. He took the handkerchief and wiped his face a couple of times before putting it aside and focusing on eating.
Mumu frowned, “Lift your head.”
Luo Xiao followed her instructions and lifted his head. Mumu began to wipe his face little by little. The warmth of her fingers touching his skin made Luo Xiao freeze in place.
Slowly, the cheeks that were full of unchewed food began to turn red.
He secretly looked at Mumu, who was focused on wiping his face, his gaze flickering as he couldn’t help but sneak a few glances while fearing he would get caught staring.
What he didn’t know was that his attempts to hide his feelings only made it more noticeable.
“What are you looking at me for?”
Luo Xiao quickly turned his gaze to something else. Seeing the unfinished food, he hurriedly picked it up to eat, concealing his expression.
“No, nothing, just really hungry…”
Mumu knew he wasn’t being truthful but didn’t press the issue.
About ten minutes later, Luo Xiao finished eating and sat on the ground without any image.
Mumu calculated the time and figured it was time to leave, so she bid farewell to Luo Xiao.
“Are you leaving so soon? Where do you live? I’ll come to find you in the future!”
Luo Xiao was startled and shot up to sit straight.
“Leaving? We’ll meet again if fate allows.”
Mumu left him a bit of money and turned to leave, disappearing into the crowd, leaving Luo Xiao shivering alone in the cold wind.
It was late autumn now, and not wearing an extra layer would surely lead to freezing.
“Achoo!”
With a sneeze, the budding feelings of love that had just arisen within Luo Xiao were frozen in this season.
Although he was reluctant to see her go, he realized he had no status that would allow him to keep her by his side, which left him feeling distressed.
Having eaten his fill, his mind was filled with many thoughts.
He had nothing else to do anyway. Luo Xiao directly went to the police station.
“Where’s Li Yan? Where’s that bastard?”
The person guarding the entrance wouldn’t let him in, so Luo Xiao began to yell at the door. His voice was loud enough for those inside to hear.
In a room, Xiao Rui, who was taking off Li Yan’s bandage, heard the commotion.
“Boss, it seems someone is calling for you outside.”
Li Yan naturally knew who it was outside, and with a nonchalant expression, he lied.
“Oh really? I didn’t hear.”
Li Yan put on a serious face, making Xiao Rui think he might be hearing things and not listening too closely.
