The weakling is reborn: the delicate one comes into my arms

Chapter 404 "The Lamb's Game Against the Butcher"

"Well... I don't really know him. I just met him twice. He is a flower shop owner."

Tang Jiao held Ye Xuewei's arm and walked forward. Seeing that she had a strange expression on her face, he asked, "What's wrong?"

"he……"

Hesitation flashed in Ye Xuewei's eyes, thinking that Ma Tianxi might be angry, but she didn't say anything and shook her head.

"Nothing, let's go, my grandpa will have to wait until he falls asleep in a while."

Tang Jiao took out two more bags of medicinal materials from Grandpa Ye Xuewei's medicine shop.

"Grandpa Ye, thank you~! The medicinal materials here are very good!"

Tang Jiao thanked him at the top of his lungs, making Old Ye happy. He grabbed handfuls of Codonopsis pilosula and stuffed them into the bag.

"Hey, no, no, no, I can't accept this from Grandpa Ye."

Tang Jiao quickly took it out.

"Pretend, little girl, the soup is ready."

Grandpa Ye Xuewei looked at the thin boy with a hunched back, but he was very strong.

Ye Xuewei sat on the high wooden stool next to the counter with her back turned, obviously very accustomed to the pushing and pulling of the old and the young.

However, this time she did not look through the old medical books on the counter, but stared blankly at her mobile phone.

After Tang Jiao left, Grandpa Ye slowly walked behind his granddaughter, fanning his cattail leaf fan, with bright eyes on his face full of deep wrinkles.

"...Are you looking at that horse boy again?"

Ye Xuewei came back to her senses and immediately turned off her phone. She turned around and said with a helpless smile:

"Grandpa, why are you still peeking?"

Old Man Ye stroked his white beard and hummed: "I was the one who took this photo for you back then."

Ye Xuewei lowered her eyes and said nothing.

"What, are you having a conflict? That brat hasn't visited me in several years."

Ye Xuewei got off the high stool and smiled:

"It's nothing, he has already gone to work, there is nothing free. Grandpa, just lie down, I will go back."

"You are young and easy to get into trouble..."

Old man Ye slowly fanned the cattail leaf fan, and was helped by Ye Xuewei to the lounge chair at the door, and he half-closed his eyes comfortably.

"Let's go, let's study hard in the hospital. You don't have to come to see me often."

Ye Xuewei took her bag and walked in the deserted alley.

After hesitating for a long time, he stopped, leaned against the wall and dialed a phone number.

It took a while before the call was connected.

"Hey."

Ma Tianxi's cold and emotionless voice came from the receiver.

"Tianxi, are you disturbing your work?"

"This Saturday."

Ye Xuewei was speechless, and the fingers holding the phone turned white, "Then...I heard that you broke up with her-"

"What exactly did you want to say on the phone?"

The impatience in Ma Tianxi's tone made Ye Xuewei's tone that she finally mustered up fade away.

She lowered her eyes, suppressed her sadness, and said, "I met Brother Bai Sheng today. He was beaten and may have been injured."

"What?! Where!"

On the other end, Ma Tianxi reacted greatly.

Ye Xuewei lowered her eyes and told what she saw in the alley.

-

"White" flower shop.

"Brother Bai, why are you..."

Ma Tianxi frowned as he looked at the horrific bruises on Bai Sheng's body.

Bai Sheng slowly put on his shirt, and the remaining amount of the bottle of medicinal wine was reduced a lot.

"So what."

he asked calmly.

Ma Tianxi was a little angry and couldn't help blurting out:

"Brother, can you please stop meddling in other people's business! There are so many child abusers in the world, can you handle it? The police don't even care!"

After he yelled, there was a dead silence in the dimly lit room.

Bai Sheng remained silent, his narrow brown eyes looking at this young man who was angry because he was worried about him.

"Ah."

He suddenly sneered and leaned back on the wide chair slowly.

The young man looked anxious at first, and then he spoke after a while:

"Don't forget how you got the life you have."

Ma Tianxi's face turned pale.

"Brother Bai..."

He licked his lips with difficulty, lowered his head and apologized: "...I'm sorry, Brother Bai, I didn't mean that."

"I'm just worried... you are always like this. When you see an abused child, you rush to stop it. Those people are crazy! One day, those people accidentally kill you-"

Under Bai Sheng's cold expression, Ma Tianxi couldn't say any more.

Bai Sheng tugged his lips and smiled in a strange tone, "Do you think I'm stupid and kind-hearted?"

His rough and unpleasant voice was strangely distorted due to the pain, and it made people's ears feel scratched.

But Ma Tianxi did not show any discomfort.

He has always been endlessly grateful to this man who gave him a second life.

Even in his heart, Bai Sheng was the one who should be in his father's position.

Is Bai Sheng kind-hearted?

of course.

This point is unquestionable in Ma Tianxi's mind.

Although for so many years, he never knew who Bai Sheng was, why he saved him from the abuse of his psychotic father, alcoholic mother, and even supported him all the way through high school and college.

He even felt that the two people died together in an accident because God gave him a real father.

However, he never could see through Bai Sheng. Bai Sheng had many secrets, but Ma Tianxi was not qualified to know.

"Brother Bai...I..."

For some reason, Ma Tianxi couldn't say "yes" in Bai Sheng's cold and mocking eyes.

"...Hahahahahahahaha! Good person, hahahaha good person?"

Bai Sheng suddenly held his belly and laughed wildly.

It was obviously a laugh, but it sounded like a sound made by tearing the vocal cords.

It was as if I could feel the tearing of flesh in my ears, and the pain of grinding on the whetstone was horrifying.

Bai Sheng laughed so hard that he sat up and bent over, "Ho ho ha ha ha ha ha -!"

He even laughed until he fell to the ground.

Ma Tianxi was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat. He quickly squatted down to help Bai Sheng up.

"Brother Bai, Brother Bai, what's wrong with you?"

Bai Sheng's white-gloved hand suddenly grabbed Ma Tianxi's wrist.

The coldness and madness in the brown pupils ran straight into Ma Tianxi's eyes.

His pupils were trembling rapidly.

The cold hairs on Ma Tianxi's back stood up one by one.

"B-Brother Bai..."

"Do you know why I'm so nosy?"

Bai Sheng held Ma Tianxi's wrist, his pale and thin face kept approaching, and his strangely trembling pupils were filled with blood.

"For those poor kids?"

Bai Sheng's voice was very soft, word for word, "To save these weak and incompetent creatures?"

The bloodless lip line opened up a penetrating arc, revealing the white teeth.

"Of course not, I'm just bored and playing games."

"A... game of lamb against butcher."

Bai Sheng's pale face was right under Ma Tianxi's eyes, his pupils were cold, and a rough and sinister voice slowly crawled into his ears.

"Should we comply with our fate, scream and bleed out, and die under the butcher's knife, or...jump up and bite off the other person's neck first. It's interesting, isn't it? Hahahahahahahahahahaha-"

Ma Tianxi's face was covered with cold sweat, his face was blank, he fell back and sat on the ground.

Bai Sheng's grip on his wrist loosened at the same time, and his laughter stopped abruptly.

The indifference returned to his thin face.

It seems that the terrifying scene that made people's blood flow was just Ma Tianxi's hallucination.

Until Bai Sheng stood up without saying a word and walked away.

Ma Tianxi was still stiff and motionless.

Bai Sheng's trembling brown pupils, his hoarse and maniacal laughter, and the uneven touch under his white gloves kept echoing in his mind.

Until a strange female voice came from outside.

"Is anyone there? Is anyone here? I would like to buy a bouquet of flowers."

Ma Tianxi trembled all over.

As if he had just recovered from the shock, he blinked hard, rubbed his face hard, and stood up with his hands on the ground.

He looked around the dimly lit room and then looked at the photo wall above the row of computer screens on the left.

Very casual shooting, with many children and their parents.

An unknown chill that he had never felt before slowly rose from his spine, making his hands and feet numb.

"...Is there anyone there? Is it closed..."

Ma Tianxi hung his neck, took a few deep breaths, then raised his hand to smooth his hair and walked out.

-

At noon the next day, the teacher Qi Gaoxuan gave Tang Jiao a short holiday. Because he had a seminar in the city in the afternoon, he simply gave Tang Jiao a half-day holiday.

Tang Jiao and Ye Xuewei happily left early after eating in the hospital cafeteria.

"Uncle Lin, is Xiao Jingchuan in the company?"

Tang Jiao asked as he got into the car.

As a driver, how dare he spy on his boss's itinerary, but the person asking the question was Miss Tang Jiao, so he naturally had to answer.

"It should be so. Lao Zhang has been in the Xiaoli Building all day today, and Mr. Xiao probably hasn't gone out."

Tang Jiao smiled and said, "Then please send me there."

Lin Hai stepped on the accelerator and drove the pink and white Lamborghini supercar towards the Xiaoying Building.

Tang Jiao got out of the car and entered the CEO's elevator without any obstruction. He pressed his thumb on the fingerprint scanner and the elevator went straight to the top floor.

Tang Jiao walked in and found that it seemed to be particularly quiet today.

The office area on the right near the elevator is the president's secretary's office. I would hear some noise when I came here before, but today it is actually quiet.

Have you all gone to a meeting?

Tang Jiao Nahan.

Because Xiao Jingchuan had said several times that Tang Jiao could come in and see him at will, so now that Tang Jiao had time to visit the class, he came directly.

The employees in the company, even the cleaning lady, all know that this young and beautiful girl is the favorite of the boss.

Tang Jiao walked to the president's office and knocked on the door tentatively, but no one answered.

Unscrewing the door and looking out, the huge office was quiet and no one was there.

Oops, unfortunately, he's not here.

Tang Jiao sighed lightly, pouted, and walked in.

...

"So Faisal, this time we have prepared the best -"

Xiao Jingchuan opened the office door first while speaking fluently in English to the mature and handsome blond man from Northern Europe.

As soon as the door was halfway open, he raised his eyebrows, stepped sideways decisively and quietly, and closed the door silently again.

The four or five people behind him:?

The tall, young blond beauty beside Feisal looked at the door curiously.

Xiao Jingchuan stretched out his hand with a flawless expression, and waved it to the right in a dignified and casual manner, "This way."

At the same time, his eyes glanced at Zhang Qi who was beside him.

Zhang Qi reacted quickly and took two steps forward, leading the way and guiding several distinguished guests to the reception room next to him.

Xiao Jingchuan smiled softly at the closed door, then raised his legs and walked to the right.

Inside the President's Office.

Tang Jiao lay on his side on the leather sofa and fell asleep, with an open book in his hand.

The girl's black hair was as smooth as silk, and the fine fluff on her forehead and ears swayed slightly in the gentle air-conditioned breeze.

When Tang Jiao opened his eyes, he saw a bright, low-key and luxurious elevated ceiling, and he was covered with a light blanket.

She blinked in confusion, almost not figuring out what night it was.

Turning his eyes, he discovered Xiao Jingchuan sitting next to his head.

She stood up with her hands in confusion, and leaned up, her head resting on her strong and flexible legs, her eyelids still half-lidded.

"When did you come back? Why did I fall asleep?"

Her voice is soft and waxy, and her whole person is full of confusion, which is very cute.

Xiao Jingchuan pinched her soft but not very soft cheek flesh.

"I've just been back for a while, why don't you go inside and sleep."

Tang Jiao rubbed his legs and said innocently, "I didn't want to fall asleep."

"Am I disturbing your work?"

"Work is not as important as you, so why bother?"

Xiao Jingchuan chuckled and pinched the tip of her nose, inserted his fingertips into the girl's hair, and followed it down.

"You don't have to go to the hospital this afternoon?"

"Yes, the teacher has attended the seminar. Give me half a day off and come to see you. I -"

"Buzzing..."

The phone on the table vibrated.

Tang Jiao lay on Xiao Jingchuan's lap, stretched out his hand to explore, but couldn't reach it and almost rolled down.

Xiao Jingchuan hugged her funnyly, leaned forward and gave her the phone.

Tang Jiao stuck out his tongue playfully and answered the phone.

"Hey~ Sister Yule, it's convenient, tell me."

Tang Jiao was on the phone with Li Youle.

Xiao Jingchuan leaned lazily on the sofa, curling her hair around his long knuckles with his fingers, his expression relaxed and his eyes happy.

"What does Li Youle want from you?"

Tang Jiao put the phone next to the sofa and said:

"Last time I told you about the child who was abused by a green turtle. I asked Sister Youle to break the news to her journalist friend who does social news. I wanted to see if I could help."

"The green turtle was released after being detained for five days. The reporter went to visit the site and did not see the child. After asking a few questions, he got impatient and kicked him out. He only said that he didn't care about the child and gave it to his relatives. It was taken."

Tang Jiao sighed, "It's so pitiful. That guy is such a bad guy!"

"You have done enough, don't impose the fate of others on yourself."

Xiao Jingchuan touched the girl's forehead comfortingly, while the knuckles of his right hand were still curling the silky hair, causing the hair roots to itch slightly.

Tang Jiao sighed lightly and nodded, "I know."

She reached out and grabbed the big palm that had been causing trouble ever since she made the phone call.

"Your hair is going to be rolled into wool curls."
