After rebirth, I rejected the Regent, but he pursued me instead

"Thief, someone come and catch that thief!"

A big man was chasing a thin figure from the front to the back of the market, attracting many people to look back.

"Thief, don't run away!"

"You told me not to run, so I didn't run. I'm a fool."

I saw the dusty kid, about eleven or twelve years old, biting a big pancake, knocking over the shelf nearby and stopping the rough man.

He thought he had finally escaped the pursuit, but when he turned around, he ran into the arms of a veiled woman.

The young man raised his eyes and saw that the girl was about seventeen or eighteen years old, with skin as white as cream, red lips, white teeth, and beautiful facial features, like a fairy.

"Are you okay, little brother?"

The woman spoke in a friendly tone and wanted to help the boy up, but the boy turned around and ran into an alley, with the big man chasing him from behind.

Later, the boy was intercepted in the alley by a big man who was chasing him at a high speed.

He caught the boy and beat him up.

"So it's you, you little devil. You dare to snatch my big meat pie. Do you want to die?"

The big man grabbed the boy by the collar and started cursing. At this time, the boy was already dying and unable to refute.

He was about to attack again but was stopped by the veiled woman.

"Stop it. I'll pay back whatever he took. Just let him go."

The woman held the copper coin in her hand, her fingertips trembling constantly, but her eyes flashed with determination.

"Ten cents. Will you pay it back for him?"

"I'll pay it back for him, so don't hit him."

The woman counted the money in a panic and handed it to the big man, then went to check on the bruised and battered boy next to her.

The woman breathed a sigh of relief as she gently probed the tip of the boy's nose with her fingertips and found that there was still breath.

Unexpectedly, the young man pushed away the girl's hand, his eyes full of disdain.

"I don't need your pity, and..."

The young man held his aching stomach and barely stood up with the help of the wall. He pointed at the smug-looking man in front of him and said, "I just took a meat pie, and it was dropped on the ground by the customer accidentally. It's not worth ten cents at all, at most two cents. Give her the rest of the money back!"

"Hey, you're justified in stealing, you little devil! Do you still want to be beaten by me?"

As he said this, the big man rolled up his sleeves to hit him, but the veiled woman stood up again.

"No, don't touch him!"

A sharp voice echoed in the alley, leaving the young man with repeated inner turmoil.

"He's mine. I've already paid you, so go! If you don't leave, don't blame me for calling for help! I...but young lady, if my servants see you bullying my people, they will definitely teach you a lesson."

Hearing this, the big man looked at the woman carefully. Seeing that she was dressed elegantly and did not seem to be lying, he put away his fist and gave up.

"Miss, I don't mean to do anything, but this demon has been doing bad things in this alley all day long. I advise you not to take him in, or you will bring trouble to yourself."

"My people don't need you to say anything."

Hearing this, the big man had no choice but to leave slowly.

Turning around, the woman took out an ointment from her sleeve and gently applied it on the young man.

The boy initially resisted, but the woman insisted that he was seriously injured.

"How can you be so careless about your life, little guy? Since I saved your life, your life is mine. I will not allow you to trample on your body like this in the future."

"Oh."

The boy just turned his head, blushing, and used the corner of his eyes to carefully look at the person who was so gentle to him for the first time in his life.

"Don't you think my eyes are scary? People call me a monster and say I have a pair of monster eyes. My parents abandoned me because of this."

As he spoke, the corners of the boy's mouth turned down, but a sadness that was not suitable for his age appeared on his young face.

The woman didn't answer directly, "So you have no other choice but to steal other people's sesame cakes?"

"I didn't steal it, I picked it up. If it falls on the ground and no one eats it, it would be a waste."

The boy puffed out his cheeks with all the self-esteem he deserved.

The girl just smiled softly, but the boy was moved for the first time.

"Okay, okay, I picked it up. And I don't think you're weird. On the contrary, your eyes are particularly beautiful, like a snowflake in this dark world. I think God must have let you come here specially in order to purify the world."

"Yeah……"

The young man's face was blushing, and he stared at the woman in front of him with a gleam in his eyes.

This is the first time someone has praised his eyes...

"By the way, what's your name?"

"Thank you, Langfeng."

“What a nice name.”

The woman raised the corners of her mouth and smiled.

The young man took the opportunity to ask again.

"how about you?"

"I?"

The woman seemed a little flustered. Her fingertips that were tying the bandages for Xie Langfeng were slightly startled, and she slowly replied, "Call me Fanyin."

Xie Langfeng glanced at the woman and said.

"What a strange name."

From then on, in the vast sea of ​​people, the gears of fate of two people who should never have overlapped began to turn.

-

Later, Fanyin gave Xie Langfeng some silver, patted his head and told him not to do things that would be insulted by others, but to survive on his own, and then said goodbye to Xie Langfeng.

However, Xie Langfeng did not leave Fanyin. Instead, he secretly followed her and used his little power to protect her.

Later, an incident in danger brought the two together again.

"Miss, the herbs you want are in the room."

A fat and big-eared wealthy businessman led Fanyin to the inn.

Xie Langfeng felt that there was something fishy going on, so he followed.

Later, after Fanyin entered the room, the rich man's dirty true face was revealed.

"Where are my herbs?"

Fanyin looked at the empty package, realized he had been tricked, and quickly ran out the door.

But the rich man actually closed the door and pushed Fanyin to the bed with a smile.

"Medicinal herbs? Miss Fanyin, if you become my wife, I will give you as many medicinal herbs as you want."

"No, no! You bitch, let me go!"

Hearing Fanyin's struggle outside the door, Xie Langfeng picked up the knife at his waist for protection and kicked and slashed at the door, creating a hole in it.

Seeing this, Xie Langfeng used his hands to pry open another hole, rushed in, and when he saw the rich man, he started biting him madly.

"Let go of Miss Fanyin, let go of Miss Fanyin!"

Under Xie Langfeng's crazy attack, the rich man finally had no choice but to compromise.

Later, the government sent people to take the rich man away, and everything was not beyond redemption.

Fanyin pulled at Xie Langfeng's messy clothes and hugged him in her arms with tears in her eyes. She felt so distressed when she saw the back of his hand pierced by the wooden thorn.

"Silly child, didn't your sister tell you to cherish your life? Why are you throwing your life away now?"

Xie Langfeng just smiled with a trace of blood at the corner of his mouth.

"You saved my life. So my life is yours. I am willing to die for you. Miss Fanyin, it will be Afeng's turn to protect you from now on."
