My boyfriend is not a human being? It’s over. I love him even more!

Chapter 163 After the Old House Caught Fire (13)

Chu Xiang felt that the man's way of speaking sounded familiar, but the boss didn't give her time to think about it. He quickly introduced, "These are all new products. Miss, take a look and pick whatever you need. Today, everything in my store is 50% off!"

Chu Xiang was surprised, "50% off?"

The boss couldn't figure out what she meant by that tone, so he cautiously held up three fingers and asked, "How about a 70% discount?"

Chu Xiang: "Threefold?"

The boss swallowed his saliva and said uncertainly, "Do you want a 10% discount?"

Chu Xiang was a little confused, "I almost thought you were going to give it to me for free."

"So that's how it is. If you had told me earlier, I would have given it to you for free!"

Chu Xiang was stunned. "Give it to me for free? Then how do you make money running a store?"

The boss thought to himself: Why do I need to make money?
But seeing the deep suspicion in Chu Xiang's expression, he realized that there might be something wrong with the way he did business, so he quickly used his clever brain to make up for it, saying: "Today is our grand opening promotion, and you are Mr. Eugene's friend, right..."

"Eugene greeted you, so can I still get free stuff?"

The boss stammered, "Well...I guess so."

Chu Xiang raised his hand and touched his chin, as if thinking about something.

She picked out a few things she needed, but didn't really take them for free. Instead, she asked the boss to charge her according to the market price. However, the boss seemed even more confused than she, the customer, and he couldn't tell her for a long time how much the items were worth.

In the end, Chu Xiang roughly estimated the price based on common sense and gave him the money.

When the boss sent Chu Xiang out, he looked at the few banknotes in his hand and felt like they were hot potatoes.

Not long after, his cell phone rang.

When the call was connected, the voice coming from the other end was still that of the man who looked like a human.

"The security in the neighborhood has been bad recently. Yesterday, there was a murderer walking around with a butcher knife, and today there are bandits who robbed single women on the road."

The boss looked at him blankly. "Is there such a thing as law and order in our neighborhood? And what about the bandits who rob single women?"

The man on the other end sighed, "Ovid, have you forgotten that if I say something exists, then it must exist."

After hanging up the phone, Ovid finally couldn't help cursing, "Are you sick?"

He hastily tore off the skin on his face again and ran out.

Chu Xiang held an umbrella in one hand and carried a shopping bag in the other, walking back towards the sunshine. She was still thinking about what had just happened in the daily necessities store.

Suddenly, a figure rushed in front of her.

This was a young man dressed in hip-hop style, holding a knife in his hand, and he shouted at Chu Xiang carelessly: "Stop, stop!"

He must have been running very fast, his breathing was unstable, and sweat appeared on his face, so he couldn't speak clearly.

There was no one else passing by, and Chu Xiang was alone, so it was difficult for him to match the strength of an adult man.

She asked, “What do you want to do?”

The young man wiped the sweat off his face and said simply: "Robbery!"

Chu Xiang felt more and more that she had been deceived on the Internet. When she had searched for information before, the Internet said that the public security in Chunteng Community was very good and that no illegal or criminal incidents had ever occurred. In this "free" country, it was incredibly safe.

However, she encountered two dangers in a short period of time.

She said: "I give you the money and you let me go?"

The gangster said: "Okay, as long as you don't play tricks and give me all the money, I will let you go." Then, the gangster was suddenly attacked from behind. A hand grabbed his shoulder and easily pressed him to the ground.

The brutal criminal had no power to fight back. His face was pressed against the ground, and it hurt. He raised his eyes desperately, "Hey, are you acting—"

——It’s too much!

Before he could finish his sentence, the hand that was holding his head increased its strength, and his entire head was pressed to the ground. He could even hear the sound of his skull cracking and see cracks on the ground.

Eugene was still wearing the deceptive black suit, rigorous and meticulous, but he was now kneeling on one knee, and the action of pinning a man to the ground was very simple and rough.

At this moment, his golden hair sparkled in the sun, and his blue eyes sparkled like the ocean. The usually gentle man suddenly showed his strength, as if he was a god descending from the sky.

Eugene asked gently: "Miss Chu, are you injured?"

Chu Xiang shook his head, "I'm fine."

"It's my fault for coming too late and giving you bad memories. You can rest assured that this person will be sent to the police station and receive the punishment he deserves."

Lilith jumped out from nowhere. She skillfully pulled out a rope and tied up the gangster whose head was almost broken.

Eugene stood up straight, "Lilith, bad guys should be punished. Let Officer Ovid handle it."

"Lilith got it!" Lilith grabbed one of the bandit's legs with one hand and ran away happily.

The gangster who was dragged on the ground bumped into the corner of the wall several times, and his body made a "crunching" sound from time to time. He was originally still moving, but now he was completely motionless, being dragged mercilessly into the shadow without sunlight.

Eugene straightened his sleeves and smoothed out the wrinkles on his clothes. He came to Chu Xiang, took the umbrella from her hand, and held it over her head to block the scorching sun. He looked guilty, "Miss Chu, if I had gone out with you at that time, maybe you wouldn't have encountered such a terrible thing."

He apologized deeply, "This is all my fault for not insisting on going out with you."

Chu Xiang: "Do you like me?"

Eugene's performance was getting better and better, but when he heard her words suddenly, he was unable to react for a moment. He looked a little confused, "What?"

"Today at lunch, you were very concerned about whether I had eaten well."

"You told the owner of the daily necessities store to pay for me in advance so that I could get the stuff for free."

"And now, you, a person who usually falls down after walking a few steps, actually burst out your inner universe and rushed out to beat down the bad guy who wanted to rob me..."

"Although I really don't want to say that I have a good opinion of myself, but with so many things put together, it's hard for me not to doubt whether you like me."

Eugene was unable to respond because the plot had developed beyond his expectations and had gone off track to a point that was unfamiliar to him.

Chu Xiang took a step forward, raised his head, and smiled with interest: "Do you know the suspension bridge effect?"

They were too close, if they were just a little closer, she would be able to touch his chest.

Eugene couldn't help but hold his breath slightly, "I've heard of it."

"So, you developed feelings for me because I saved you when we were trying to survive in a dangerous environment together last night?"

Eugene's smile was more sarcastic. "How could I possibly--"

"Okay, if you like me, then we can try to date."

Eugene's voice stopped abruptly.

Chu Xiang tilted his head, blinked, and asked: "What did you want to say just now?"

Eugene turned his face slightly to avoid her gaze, "What I want to say is that you are right."
