Stardust in the Moonlight: Little Wildcat, Don't Try to Run Away

I raised my hand to wipe my tears, and saw a hunched figure not far away holding a small flashlight, walking towards me with the weak light.

I hurried over to her and said, "Grandma..."

My grandmother was walking with her head down, and when she saw me rushing towards her, she was startled.

"Where have you been this late?!"

I quickly checked on my grandma. Fortunately, she was fine.

"Today is Friday, there is a night market in the university town, and I was thinking of selling these remaining things... Why did you come back so late? What do you want from me?"

Grandma looked up at me and asked, "Are you crying? Who bullied you?"

I quickly wiped the tears from my face and said, "No...I didn't cry."

I took the bag from my grandma's hand. It was a very big bag.

"Oh, my eyesight is getting worse and worse! I can't see clearly at night."

I helped my grandma walk back.

"If you can't see clearly, don't go out at night!"

"These things can still be sold for a few bucks, why keep them?"

"Isn't the money I earn enough for you to spend? Don't sell these anymore!"

"Leave me alone!"

I turned around and saw Li Xin still standing not far from us, looking at me.

We walked up to him and asked, "Why are you back again?"

Li Xin looked at me, and he reached out for me to take the thing in my hand.

"Go home first..."

Li Xin glanced at his grandmother.

"This is…"

Grandma squinted her eyes and looked at Li Xin hard, but she probably couldn't see clearly.

"Grandma, I'm Rongyue's friend. I just sent her back."

Li Xin responded to his grandmother politely.

"Oh! Then... go inside and have a glass of water before leaving... it's too late, I can't see clearly, Rongyue... you can treat it yourself..."

"... "

Doorstep.

“Nangong Rongyue! What…what’s going on? Why is it so chaotic? Where are the lights? Turn on the lights!”

Grandma stamped her feet in anger.

"broken…"

"what!"

"You! How old are you? You can still build a house like this!"

My grandma thought it was me who messed up the house because I turned into a cat when I was a child and messed up the house a few times.

There was no light in the house and it was so dark that I couldn’t see anything. My grandma probably couldn’t see clearly that the house was vandalized.

"you you…"

Grandma was so angry that she pinched my arm.

“Hiss, it hurts…” It hurts so much!

"Grandma, don't worry. I'll help you change the light and then help Rongyue clean up."

Li Xin frowned and looked at the broken lamp.

"Hey! Child, how can I trouble you! This, this, this..."

"It's not a bother, grandma. It's so late, you should go and rest first."

Li Xin touched me and motioned for me to let grandma go to rest first.

"Grandma, go to bed! I'll clean it up in a minute."

"How dare you say that! Don't go to sleep until you clean it up! You really pissed me off in the middle of the night!"

Grandma was so angry that she went straight back to the house and slammed the door.

I just checked, and her room is indeed fine. These people only messed up my room, living room and kitchen on purpose.

It was just a mess, with dishes and clothes thrown everywhere, but no broken furniture or anything.

"Who did it?"

I turned around and looked at Li Xin who was speaking.

Li Xin lowered his voice, but the coldness in his tone did not fade at all.

"Grandma has poor eyesight, but I don't!"

"I do not know."

I went into the house and looked around to see where to start. What should I do without light?

"Boss, why are you back?"

I picked up the broken pieces of the bowl that had fallen on the floor and threw them into the trash can.

"Don't clean it up. It's easy to get cut. I'll call someone to clean it up! Come out now."

"No need... I can do it myself."

"Nangong Rongyue! Don't force me to lose my temper with you now, come out!"

Li Xin's voice was unquestionable.

"Let me change my clothes..."

I looked at my clothes. They were torn to pieces. I had wasted my mother's money.

"I'll wait for you outside!"

I changed my clothes and walked out of the house. I saw Li Xin's car parked not far from the entrance of the unit. I walked over and sat in the passenger seat.

I turned and looked at Li Xin.

"Who did it?"

Li Xin frowned and his eyes became sharp.

"I really do not know!"

I looked at Li Xin seriously.

"What happened to your face? Did they hit you?"

I opened my phone and took a selfie. My face was a little red.

"It was a bump, nothing serious."

Li Xin's breathing became a little heavy. He took a deep breath and looked up at me with anger still in his eyes.

Li Xin usually likes to joke around and always gives people a very gentle impression. He looks a little scary now.

"Where else did you hit?"

"Gone…"

"You think I can't find out if you don't tell me?"

Li Xin looked at me and I avoided his gaze.

Li Xin handed me the phone

"Call the police. Or should I help you?"

I glanced at my phone "No... No need to call the police."

Li Xin unlocks his phone.

I quickly went to call his cell phone, "Boss, don't call the police!"

Li Xin blocked me with his hands and I couldn't grab his phone.

"Boss, don't call the police, don't call the police."

I saw that the boss had already started to press the keys. I was really anxious.

"Boss, they said they are relieved, they just broke some things, it's nothing! This matter is over. If I call the police, they will come again. I am scared, really scared! My grandma is old, I can't afford to offend them. I, I only have my grandma, I beg you, don't call the police..."

As I spoke, tears began to fall uncontrollably. I was really afraid that these people would come again. The things were not important, but what if they bumped into my grandma? I only had my grandma, and if something happened to her, I really didn't know what to do.

"Please, Boss, I don't want to cause any more trouble, I'm afraid..."

I raised my hands to wipe away my tears because I couldn't see clearly anymore.

A big hand covered my head, and the warm temperature made me feel even more wronged.

When I looked up, I met the boss's eyes. The anger in his eyes was gone, and the gentleness in his eyes was a little hot.

"Don't let me force you in the future. Just tell the truth yourself."

After a while, I wiped away my tears.

During this time, the boss just looked at me quietly, and the atmosphere in the car was a bit awkward.

"Boss, why are you back again?" I glanced at the boss.

"I felt that the tone of my words to you today was a bit harsh, so I returned."

"Oh..."

Another awkward silence.

"I have to go home and clean up."

"Do you have any place to stay in your house now?"

"It will be there once we have cleaned up."

"Why haven't I seen your parents?"

"I don't know. My grandmother and I have been together since I was a child. I have never seen them."

It was quiet again.

"I'm fine, Boss. It's already early in the morning. You should go back soon! If you can't help me, grandma and I will go and squeeze in."

"Then can your grandma still sleep well?"

Too...

"If you're tired, just sleep in the car. Someone will come and clean you up later."

As the boss spoke, he took his clothes from the back seat of the car and put them on me, then folded down the passenger seat.

"Just sleep peacefully and don't worry about anything. When you wake up tomorrow, your home will be back to normal."

"It's so late, don't you need to go home?"

I squeezed the boss's clothes. There was a faint fragrance on his clothes, a very fresh smell. He always had this smell.

Li Xin smiled.

"Normally at this time the nightclubs are just getting busy, why would I go home?"

The life of the rich...

"Don't be afraid if anything happens in the future, you can call me."

Li Xin looked at me.

The atmosphere was a bit ambiguous, and I didn't know what to say to break the awkwardness.

"Am I not your boss? Anyone who dares to bully me has had enough of his life."

"Boss, today's matter..."

"Don't worry, leave this to me. I won't involve you, and you don't have to stop me. They've already found your home. Who are they? You and your grandmother are the only ones at home. If they have any bad intentions, can you and your grandmother resist?"

I thought of the man who smiled evilly at me. At that moment, I was really scared. I was afraid that he would really touch me. At that time, I would not have any chance to fight back. If that person came back.

I raised my head, afraid that the tears in my eyes would come out again.

Li Xin reached out and held my shaking hand.

"Okay, don't be afraid anymore, and don't cry anymore. Trust me."

I nodded.
