The sky was full of stars, and tonight was another moonless night. The night was a sleepless night.
Dongfang Yi was wearing a white short-sleeved T-shirt, sky-blue jeans and a pair of gray canvas shoes. She looked like a girl next door, attracting countless gazes. She was waiting for someone, and her wrinkled brow reflected the hope and a trace of anxiety in her heart.
"Zhang Song!" The moment Zhang Song's figure appeared in his field of vision, Dongfang Yi's wrinkled brows instantly changed into a smile.
Under the envious gaze, Zhang Song walked in front of Dongfang Yi and gently smiled: "I had originally thought that you would come rather early. I didn't expect that you would already be here. If I knew earlier, I would have walked faster on the road. "
"It doesn't matter! Actually, I just arrived as well. " In order to not let him feel guilty, Dongfang Yi told him a white lie.
"Then let's go!" Zhang Song laughed and unconsciously pulled Dongfang Yi's small hand.
Dongfang Yi's face immediately flushed red, but he did not deliberately take his hand away from Zhang Song's, allowing him to hold it.
"Don't you have to work tonight?" Zhang Song asked.
"Boss, you're giving me a day off tonight. Are we going to the barbeque store where I work?" Dongfang Yi asked Zhang Song.
"The food cooked there is not bad, not to mention that the fat water is not in the fields of outsiders. We will take care of your boss's business, maybe if he is happy, not only will he give us a discount, but he will also give you more money. Why should we bother asking for more?" Zhang Song said to Dongfang Yi indifferently.
When Zhang Song and Dongfang Yi reached there, Tan Bin had already chosen his seat.
"I just ordered some random things. If you want to eat something, you have to order it yourself." Tan Bin handed over the menu.
"We don't expect you either." Zhang Song took the menu from Tan Bin and passed it to him, "Xiao Yi, go ahead and order!"
"How can we do that!" Didn't you say that I would invite you and Tan Bin? "It's better if you order it!" Dongfang Yi pushed the menu back.
"Xiao Yi, it's better if you order." Tan Bin laughed.
Dongfang Yi nodded at Zhang Song, then picked up the menu and carefully ordered.
"Xiao Yi, are you treating us to food?" The owner walked over while smoking and asked Dongfang Yi smilingly.
"Yes, boss!" Do you need my help? " Dongfang Yi looked at the owner sincerely and laughed.
"Didn't I give you a holiday today? "Right now, you are my guest, so how can I ask for your help?" The owner smiled as he extinguished his cigarette, then took the menu from Dongfang Yi's hands. "Xiao Yi, rest assured that you will treat your friends to a good meal. Tonight, all your debts will be directly charged to me.
"How can that be? Boss, you're a small-time businessman, it's not easy to earn a few coins. How can we just eat and drink for free? "Boss, we accept your kind intentions." Dongfang Yi anxiously refused.
"Little girl, don't be stubborn. Although I'm not rich, I can afford a barbecue. It's a deal then. I'll grill it for you right away. Drink some beer first and wait a moment. " The boss didn't refuse and walked towards the oven with the menu in hand.
"The boss really has a nice person." Tan Bin took a sip of the beer and said to Dongfang Yi.
"The boss is really a good person. Every time you take care of me. " Dongfang Yi nodded his head heavily, agreeing with Tan Bin's point of view.
Very quickly, the barbecue was carried up by the boss. Zhang Song, Dongfang Yi and the other two all raised their wine cups, a crisp sound of clinking cups replaced the unnecessary words they were about to say.
After an hour and a half, the meal was about to end. Zhang Song took out three red tickets from his pocket, ready to pay the bill.
"Zhang Song, I invited you over. Let me pay!" Just as Dongfang Yi was about to take out his money, he was stopped by Tan Bin: "Xiao Yi, paying is a man's business, why are you blindly joining in!" Tan Bin stopped Dongfang Yi's actions.
"I've said that I'll treat you guys tonight. How can I accept your money?" The owner smiled embarrassedly at Zhang Song.
"Boss, it's not easy for you to earn money. We've eaten quite a lot tonight, if you don't take my money, you'll be working for nothing tonight, won't you?" "How can I face coming to your place in the future?" Zhang Song said as he stuffed the money into the boss's hands.
"You child... "Alright, I'll take one from you and charge you a cost price." The boss rejected Zhang Song's piece three times.
The stars were shining and the wind was cold. Zhang Song walked on the street, his expression was solemn, and there was no trace of a smile on his face.
An unexpected bell rang. The phone was Zhang Song's, but the call was actually Dongfang Yi's.
"Are you Zhang Song?" The voice wasn't that of Dongfang Yi, but was that of a man.
"I am Zhang Song, who are you?" Zhang Song said in a deep voice, and within the short term, his voice contained a dense killing intent.
"I'm the owner of the barbeque shop, the one where Xiao Yi works." The man panted heavily as he answered.
Hearing the man's words, Zhang Song recalled the barbeque store owner's voice and felt that it was indeed somewhat similar. His tone couldn't help but soften: "Sorry from before. Excuse me, why is Xiao Yi's phone with you, where is Xiao Yi? "
Yi was surrounded by a few hooligans, and I was hurt by them." "Ahh!" With a blood-curdling scream, the phone was hung up. Only a burst of urgent busy sounds remained in Zhang Song's phone.
Although Zhang Song was unwilling to think in that direction, but the words of the barbeque shop owner said something that Zhang Song did not even dare think about.
Rows of leaves on the ground were being pushed back by Zhang Song's full power. The people on the streets all turned to look at Zhang Song who was running away. Only, Zhang Song's speed was simply too fast. In the blink of an eye, Zhang Song's figure had already disappeared from their line of sight.
When Zhang Song rushed to the barbeque store, it was already in a mess. A lot of things were scattered all over the place, and a group of people dressed in fancy clothes were lying on the ground. However, he did not see Dongfang Yi, the barbeque shop owner, or the people who were spectating from afar.
"Excuse me, have you seen a beautiful girl?" Zhang Song asked a boy who was spectating.
"You're talking about Dongfang Yi who helped work here right?" The boy asked.
"Yes, yes, that's her!" Zhang Song said excitedly.
"She helped the wounded barbecue owner to a nearby hospital." the boy replied.
"How is she?" Zhang Song immediately asked.
"She is very skilled. She is the one who dealt with these hooligans. However, she acted very quickly, so I didn't see her moves clearly. As for whether she was injured, I don't know. " The boy said excitedly.
"Then thank you!" Zhang Song did not want to continue listening to him talk here. After thanking him, he ran towards the nearby hospital.
When Zhang Song rushed to the entrance of the clinic, he coincidentally met Dongfang Yi who was helping the barbeque shop's owner walk out. Seeing that Dongfang Yi was alright, Zhang Song immediately heaved a sigh of relief, as his anxious face relaxed slightly.
Humans are an emotional animal, but most of the time they ignore the true feelings in their hearts. Only at a truly critical and specific juncture can one truly see how deep one person's feelings for another person are. As the saying goes, adversity shows the truth.
Only when someone truly lost or was on the verge of losing someone, would they feel how important the other person was to them. Only then would they feel how much they cared about the other person, and be able to instantly burst out with a passion and heat that was usually hidden.
Regardless of whether Zhang Song admitted it or not, he could not change one fact: He truly cared about Dongfang Yi, and was afraid that he would lose her.
Dongfang Yi saw Zhang Song standing at the door, breathing heavily. She was stunned at first, but then burst out into a beautiful smile.
"Wipe the sweat off your forehead!" Dongfang Yi took out a neat stack of tissue from his pocket, and handed it over to Zhang Song with a smile.
Usually, people with high cultivation would be able to adjust their own Qi and would not sweat at all. But at this moment, Zhang Song's forehead was covered in sweat.
"You guys chat, I'll go clean up my mess first." The barbeque owner smiled and smartly left.
Zhang Song and Dongfang Yi walked back to the place where the barbeque shop was. The barbecue shop was still in a mess, but the thugs on the floor had gotten up and were shouting angrily at the barbecue owner, and beside them were two men in police uniforms, frowning.
"Stop!" Zhang Song bellowed, walking forward to help the barbeque shop owner block the rogue.
"Kid, who are you? You dare to meddle with the affairs of these few elders? " The leader of the thugs mocked Zhang Song.
"Pah!" Before the rogue could even react, his face was slapped hard by Zhang Song.
The hoodlum was enraged, and bared his fangs and brandished his claws, wanting to pounce towards Zhang Song, but he was stopped by the police officers beside him. Zhang Song's slap on the face of the two policemen was already making them lose face. If they let these thugs make a ruckus again, then they wouldn't need to stay any longer.
"Beat him up in front of the police, kid, you sure have guts! Aren't you afraid of getting into the police station? " The police officer spoke in a stern voice, trying to shock Zhang Song.
"Afraid, why not? "Who doesn't know that the police station is a place of death. Anyone who enters can't leave." Zhang Song said, his tone paused, he changed the topic and said loudly to the crowd: "But, who saw me hitting someone? Which one of your eyes saw me hitting someone? "
"I didn't see anything." Once Zhang Song said this, the surrounding students chimed in.
"Did you hear that!? If you don't have any evidence, then just slander me. Even if you are a police officer, I will still sue you for framing me. I have a bunch of witnesses. " Zhang Song shouted to the police coldly.
Zhang Song's words made the two policemen's faces turn as black as if they had just gotten it out of ink.
Zhang Song turned and said to Dongfang Yi: "Xiao Yi, you go back first!"
"This …" Dongfang Yi looked at Zhang Song hesitantly.
"Xiao Yi, don't worry! Justice was in the hearts of the people. I'm sure the two officers know all about it. The police officers have made their decisions, and I believe they will give you a reasonable explanation. " Zhang Song said.
"Of course, of course!" A policeman quickly echoed.
Dongfang Yi was wearing a white short-sleeved T-shirt, sky-blue jeans and a pair of gray canvas shoes. She looked like a girl next door, attracting countless gazes. She was waiting for someone, and her wrinkled brow reflected the hope and a trace of anxiety in her heart.
