But the thing Luo Xiao was best at was sensing the right moment and appreciating it.
Noticing that there was still some dust on her face, he took the handkerchief placed on the shelf, walked over to her, lowered his head, and carefully wiped it clean with a serious expression.
Mumu felt a little uncomfortable. She took a step back, but he held her in place.
“Don’t move.”
Time seemed to pass slowly in that moment, and Mumu felt something start to awaken inside her.
“Finally, it looks a bit more pleasing to the eye.”
He handed the handkerchief back to Mumu’s hand.”I’ll take the clothes and these as well.”
This was probably the most generous he had ever been. He secretly felt very satisfied about spending money. But the moment he thought about having to eat dirt for the next month, his mood deflated.
He did not expect anything from anyone. His parents’ lives would be the same whether he was there or not. The first expression on their faces when they saw him was disdain, wishing he wouldn’t come home for 365 days a year.
When Luo Xiao was going out, he didn’t expect the person he had just been thinking about to show up so quickly in front of him again. Now he couldn’t care about Mumu anymore and followed silently, ignoring Mumu’s calls from behind.
He wouldn’t be so stupid as to go directly in front of them. Quietly pretending to be a passerby, he casually followed behind.
The people in front seemed to be in a hurry and didn’t notice the tail following them.
In another direction, Xiao Rui looked worried. “Boss, there’s someone else following them too. I’m not sure which side they’re on.”
The person with him was Li Yan. They had been frequenting this road into town these past few days, just waiting to catch these people.
They originally thought that there wouldn’t be many people, but they found that the group had split into several batches, adding up to over ten people now.
“Let’s observe the situation. I’ll go take a look.”
Li Yan turned and disappeared from Xiao Rui’s side. He moved so fast that it was startling.
Luo Xiao followed not too close and not too far. He still hadn’t figured out their movements when he felt someone behind him. He swung his leg back, quickly turning his body and throwing a punch with full force toward the newcomer.
His eyes met a cold and hard face, and he hesitated, unable to pull his fist back.
Fortunately, Li Yan didn’t take his sloppy kung fu seriously at all. Dodging the attack, he kicked Luo Xiao’s knee, causing him to fall directly to the ground.
“Ow, ow, ow…”
At the last moment, Luo Xiao grabbed Li Yan’s clothes to keep himself from falling.
“What are you doing, putting so much force into it?”
Luo Xiao complained and clutched his knee as he got up.
Li Yan looked down at him and asked, “What are you following them?”
“I should be the one asking you that! How did you know I was following them?”
Luo Xiao lifted his chin, not wanting to appear weaker.
After silently watching him for a few seconds, Li Yan turned and left.
Luo Xiao couldn’t bear it anymore. He grabbed his clothes to prevent him from leaving.
“Let go!”
“I won’t.” Luo Xiao seemed to know Li Yan might use force, so he closed his eyes. “Go ahead and hit me, I’ll keep bothering you at the police station afterwards.”
Hearing this, Li Yan ground his back teeth.
“What do you want?”
Luo Xiao’s eyes darted around. “What are you doing here?”
“Work.”
“So how did you know I was here?”
Li Yan looked at him deeply. “That’s not something you should know.”
Luo Xiao didn’t want to hear these empty words. “If you don’t tell me, I’ll just keep following you, and then I’ll find out anyway.”
He sounded quite proud of himself.
Li Yan sneered. He delivered a chop to Luo Xiao’s arm, causing a numb sensation that made Luo Xiao immediately release his grip.
