Announced divorce, madly criticized Ling Shaochang for kneeling down

The dim room was filled with a strong smell of cigarettes and alcohol.

The man leaned back on the sofa, his eyes lightly closed, a cigarette between his lips.

The veins on his hand resting on the sofa were bulging as he tried his best to suppress the rise and fall of his chest.

He had casually unbuttoned a few buttons of his black shirt, and the collar was torn into a mess by him.

In the darkness of the night, the man silently raised the corners of his lips and smiled mockingly.

Unspeakable pain rolled in his heart and rushed to his throat.

How stupid he was to think that Qiao Ruyi went to Song Xilan.

Uterine bleeding.

A person.

Hospitalized for three days.

Every word was like a sharp knife stabbing his heart.

She was clearly the person he wanted to hide and protect, but she was hurt again and again because of him.

No wonder she looked at him with hatred.

Just hate it.

He hates it too.

A little white cat lay quietly beside his legs, rubbing its head against his thigh from time to time.

The man opened his eyes, and there was mist in his bottomless pupils.

......

Bristol.

It was ten o'clock in the evening and it was snowing lightly outside.

I didn’t expect the snow that I didn’t see in Beijing, but I saw it after landing in Bristol.

Qiao Ruyi pulled her coat closer and walked along the street by the harbor.

There were people performing at the pier by the harbor. I didn't know what day it was, but it looked very lively.

The laughter and chatter on the streets are all in foreign languages, very unfamiliar, yet rare and peaceful.

She ordered a cup of hot milk at a coffee shop by the harbor, then sat outside the shop and looked at the various passers-by.

A blood-red convertible supercar was parked on the street in the distance.

The man in the driver's seat had striking red hair, which made his already fair skin look almost sickly pale.

He stared at the white figure outside the coffee shop with a playful gaze. After looking it up and down, a meaningful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"interesting."

......

The hot milk in the cup was almost gone. Qiao Ru felt that it was getting late, so he stood up and prepared to go back to the apartment.

As I walked out of the port, I suddenly heard the roar of a locomotive behind me!

Before I could look back, a motorcycle sped past me and the bag in my hand fell to the ground.

Qiao Ruyi reacted suddenly and ran after him, shouting in fluent English, "Help! Someone is robbing!"

A man's excited shout came from the departing motorcycle.

"Oh hoo!"

Qiao Ruyi saw clearly that they were two black men. The man in the back seat excitedly raised her bag in his hand, as if showing off his trophy.

"Robbery! Someone is robbing!"

She chased after him while asking for help. Her ID and cell phone were in the bag, and she must not lose it!

The sound of the motorcycle was getting farther and farther away, and just when the motorcycle was about to disappear from her sight, a red sports car sped past her like an arrow.

At the turning intersection, the red sports car slammed on the brakes, blocking the motorcycle at the entrance.

Qiao Ruyi ran all the way after him and heard howling sounds just a few meters away from the alley entrance.

"Hand it over."

The man warned in fluent English, "Otherwise I will call the police and detain you."

Then came the two men's pleading, "Sorry sir, sorry, we just thought it was fun."

The man kicked them and snatched the bag from their hands.

Qiao Ruyi stood breathlessly at the entrance of the dim alley, listening to the sounds of punching and kicking coming from inside. Then a tall figure walked out of the alley, holding her stolen bag in his hand.

When he saw her, the man handed her the bag in his hand, "Is it yours?"

It was the bag that was stolen from her.

Qiao Ruyi took it and checked the bag to make sure nothing was missing.

She thanked him repeatedly, "Thank you, it's my bag, thank you very much."

As she spoke, she realized that the man was of superior height, with three-dimensional and heroic features, but he did not look like a European, but more like an Asian.

Standing under the street light, his eye-catching red hair made his skin look very white.

He seems to be young, between a man and a teenager.

The man was also looking at her. She had thick black curly hair, fair skin, clear black pupils, and a standard oriental beauty face.

He smiled with the corners of his mouth curved, and spoke in pure British English, "You look like you are Asian."

"I'm Chinese." Qiao Ruyi smiled awkwardly. "I didn't expect to be robbed on my first day here. Thank you."

"Chinese? Me too!" The man switched to Chinese, raised his eyes and smiled, his voice tinged with excitement, "My name is Qin Chao, Chao like in morning sun."

He bent down and looked at Qiao Ruyi's face with a smile, "Beautiful sister, what's your name?"

Qiao Ruyi was a little surprised when she was suddenly called "beautiful sister".

But he doesn't look any older than me.

"My name is Qiao Ruyi."

The man raised an eyebrow, "Nice name."

There were also wailing sounds in the alley, sounding like someone had been beaten badly.

Qiao Ruyi took out her cell phone and was about to make a call when someone grabbed her wrist.

"Sister, what do you want to do?" the man asked her.

A strange touch came from her wrist, and Qiao Ruyi pulled it away calmly, "These two people were openly robbing people on the street. I want to call the police--"

Before she could finish her words, Qiao Ruyi was pulled to the wall and a pair of warm hands covered her mouth.

"Sh ...

Seeing Qiao Ruyi's surprised look, Qin Chao asked with a smile, "Is this your first time here?"

Qiao Ruyi nodded.

Qin Chao let go of her hand and looked at her with amusement, "No wonder my sister is so naive."

He explained, "You might not know this, but Country Y's public security has always been inferior to China's, especially in places like Bristol, which is not far from the black area. That's why there are so many biker gangs committing robberies like today, and the police can't handle it at all."

"Besides, you're not from here. If you report it to the police, they'll just detain you for a few days at most, and they might even retaliate against you after you're released."

"I see." Qiao Ruyi put away her phone after hearing what he said.

No matter what, the package is found.

"Sister." Qin Chao put his hands in his pockets and asked her with a smile, "Where do you live? I'll take you home."

"No thanks." Qiao Ruyi declined. "I can take a taxi."

She had no plans to live here long-term, so she had no intention of making friends.

"Thank you very much for what you did today," Qiao Ruyi said politely. "I'll treat you to dinner some other day."

"Okay." The man agreed readily.

......

The woman hailed a taxi and left on the street.

Qin Chao stood at the intersection, staring at the car as it left until it disappeared from his sight, and the smile on his lips faded.

Two dark-skinned men, one tall and one short, came out of the alley and approached him with smirks on their faces.

"Brother, did you do a good job?"

A hint of sneer flashed across the man's eyes. He pulled out a few bills from his wallet and threw them to them, "Go have fun."

"Thank you, brother!"

The two black men thanked him repeatedly, picked up the money on the ground and ran away.

The man scoffed, "Qiao Ruyi, interesting."
