"Didn't I tell you not to smoke?"

"I smoke a cigarette occasionally." Seeing her coming over, Xiao Bai put out the cigarette in his hand: "Are you...living well over there?"

She got married suddenly and quietly, and by the time her friends heard the news, they knew the matter was already a done deal.

"If he dares to treat you badly, I..." Xiao Bai's eyes flashed with cruelty. He twisted the cigarette butt fiercely with his foot, his eyes bloodshot.

"What do you want?" Ruan Xingchen's heart skipped a beat and he narrowed his eyes. "Tell me."

Thinking of his past life, when Xiao Bai, with his shaved head, stood behind the bars in prison uniform, looking thin and silent, Ruan Xingchen felt a surge of anger. He raised his eyebrows and said, "Xiao Bai, stay away from those questionable people!"

He wouldn't be entangled with those gangsters now, would he?!

"I... wasn't." Xiao Bai was keenly aware of her anger and subconsciously stood up straight: "I didn't. I just, I just wanted to beat him up to vent your anger!"

"He has bodyguards with him. How many of them can you beat?" Seeing that he really wanted to attack, Ruan Xingchen became even more furious. "If you beat him up and then sue you for intentional injury, will you still have to spend a few years in jail? Are you stupid?"

So what if she spent a few years in jail? She couldn't let anyone bully her.

Xiao Bai didn't dare to say this out loud. He opened his mouth but didn't respond.

"I'm telling you, Xiao Bai, if you dare to take any crooked path, don't blame me for breaking your legs." Ruan Xingchen said harshly, "I'll have something for you to do later. If you have nothing to do, read more books, okay?"

Xiao Bai showed a guilty expression.

Could it be that he has been involved with those people from his previous life so early?

Ruan Xingchen was almost mad. He looked around for a stick and said in a deep voice, "Hand!"

Xiao Bai reflexively stretched out his hand and defended himself, "No, I didn't. Brother Li asked me to watch the place for him, but I refused!"

Where poverty breeds darkness.

The edge of the back alleys of West Street is the red-light district, and group fights often occur in this chaotic area.

Brother Li is the leader of one of the gangs. Seeing that Xiao Bai fights with great ferocity, he wants to recruit him as his thug.

Xiao Bai had been tempted, but seeing Ruan Xingchen angry, he didn't dare to think about it at all and firmly promised, "I won't go! I really won't go!"

"Snap!"

"Snap!" Two times.

"Snap!" Three times.

Ruan Xingchen still hit him three times firmly, staring at him coldly with her beautiful eyes: "Xiao Bai, don't think I don't know what you're thinking. If you want to sacrifice your whole life for such a small profit, don't come to me again!"

Xiao Bai gave his assurances again and again, and seeing that he had really given up the idea, Ruan Xingchen's anger finally dissipated.

She grew up in West Street and rarely came back for a few years after getting married in her previous life, but now she still feels very familiar with the place.

After taking Xiao Bai and turning a few corners on the dilapidated and narrow road, a small shop with a "Supermarket" sign appeared in front of them.

"Are you here to buy food for your little brother and sister again?" The old lady who was watching the shop smiled when she saw them. "We just got some new stock today."

The store is not big, but the things inside are clean and tidy, and the prices are cheap. Ruan Xingchen often buys some snacks from here as rewards for his younger brothers and sisters.

He took a familiar lollipop from the shelf, picked out an orange flavored one, and handed it over: "Here."

Xiao Bai looked down and saw his jade-white knuckles falling on the colorful candy packaging, which had a breathtaking beauty.

It's his favorite flavor.

He took the candy, unwrapped it and put it in his mouth. The sweet taste accompanied by the orange flavor spread.

Ruan Xingchen didn't look at him again. He picked out a lot of food that he thought was delicious and bought it. Then he paid and walked back.

"Hey! Isn't that Xiao Bai?" A thug with dyed yellow hair and a dragon tattoo on his arm was squatting in the corner smoking with his friends. He smiled when he saw the two of them. "Are you shopping with your girlfriend?"

"Brother Li."

Seeing this person, Xiao Bai's skin tightened, and he felt his palms begin to hurt again: "This is my friend."

"Your friend is pretty!" Brother Li smiled nonchalantly, with disdain in his eyes: "You haven't got her yet? How can you buy these cheap things to chase a girl? Come hang out with Brother Li, treat me to a good meal, and I'll catch her a long time ago."

The people behind him burst into laughter and looked at Ruan Xingchen with lewd eyes. They didn't mind at all describing her as materialistic and cheap in front of her.

"Don't talk nonsense." Xiao Bai's face darkened. "This is really my friend. Brother Li, please be polite."

It's okay to look down on him, but it's absolutely not okay to insult her.

"You little bastard, how dare you talk to Brother Li like that!" A thug stood up angrily: "I'm giving you face, right?"

"Brother Li, right?" Ruan Xingchen's eyes were like lacquer. He put the bag in his hand aside and rubbed his wrist. "Want to ask Xiao Bai to help you with the show?"

"Brother Li is flattering him by wanting him." The thug took two steps forward with a baseball bat in hand and pointed it at her nose. "Get away from me, bitch! I'm teaching this guy a lesson and he's scared you to tears, but no one cares."

"Oh?" Ruan Xingchen's expression turned cold. He suddenly raised his hand to grab his index finger and snapped it upwards. "Sorry, I hate it when people point at me."

"what!"

As the thug screamed in pain, she grabbed his collar, snatched the baseball bat, raised her long legs, and kicked him out handsomely: "I take your weapon."

Brother Li's expression turned extremely ugly: "That bitch is courting death! Teach her a lesson!"

The thugs rushed forward. Ruan Xingchen held the baseball bat and did not retreat. He hit them where it hurt with quick and decisive moves. With the help of Xiao Bai, they were soon lying on the ground.

"You, what do you want?" Brother Li was about to cry.

Who could have imagined that such a beautiful, elegantly dressed young woman could be so ruthless in her beatings? Her blows were so painful that even the self-proclaimed tough guy was nearly reduced to tears.

"Do I need to ask what I want?" Ruan Xingchen raised the corner of his mouth and stepped on his back.
