Witches, please stop thinking about me!

A drunken voice came from the barbecue stall, but Lin Jiu and Liu Mei ignored it and walked straight ahead.

However, the nature of the matter changed when a drunken figure blocked their way.

"Hey beautiful, we don't mean anything by it, we just... really want to get to know you~~"

The alcohol made him so slurred that he could barely speak, yet he still spread his arms to block the two of them.

A cold glint appeared in Liu Mei's eyes, and the nightmare's black mist began to dissipate silently.

Lin Jiu glanced at the crowd of onlookers and pulled Liu Mei aside.

Liu Mei glanced at her hand that was being held, suppressed the murderous intent in her heart, and walked forward woodenly.

Seeing that the drunkard was about to chase after them, two girls who were having a late-night snack stepped forward and separated them.

"What's it to you two ugly bastards? Get out of my way!"

As they pushed each other, one of the girls was knocked to the ground.

"Simply giving in won't change anything."

"For some people, this actually emboldens them to bully you."

Lin Jiu fell silent upon hearing Liu Mei's words, and then began to look around for a suitable weapon.

However, Liu Mei reacted even faster than him. She took two steps forward and delivered a simple straight kick, sending the drunken man flying backward.

Upon seeing this, his companions immediately got up and surrounded him with stools, bottles, and wine bottles.

Two fists can't beat four hands. Even though Liu Mei's every move would render someone helpless on the spot, she was still touched to the side by a person holding a beer bottle.

The beer bottle was raised high, and Liu Mei instinctively raised her arm to block it.

Then, Lin Jiu grabbed the man who had raised the beer bottle and sent him flying like a bull, holding him by the waist.

A cracking sound came from the beer bottle.

Liu Mei knocked the man next to her, who was trying to get up, unconscious with an elbow strike, then turned to look at Lin Jiu.

Lin Jiu straddled the drunk man, repeatedly punching him in the face.

The man tried to raise his hand to block, but Lin Jiu pulled him away and took another punch.

The others who got up tried to pull him away, but Lin Jiu ignored them and continued to beat the person beneath him.

The chair was lifted up and about to smash into Lin Jiu's back when Liu Mei kicked him in the side, knocking him to the ground.

The nightmare mist took effect, causing the others to fall into a coma.

Amidst the spurting of blood and screams, the two girls who had helped earlier spoke up anxiously.

"Sister, stop your brother from hitting her! He'll kill her if he keeps going!"

Liu Mei remained silent, only glancing at the two women who had suffered an undeserved misfortune because they wanted to help her and Lin Jiu.

"fine."

The beating continued, and Lin Jiu was furious, extremely furious.

Part of it was the frustration of being harassed by a drunkard when he and Liu Mei were walking along peacefully.

More than anything, it was the lingering fear of the bottle almost hitting Liu Mei.

Even though Liu Mei had already raised her arm to block, once the beer bottle broke, the shards of glass would definitely leave marks on her charming face.

Although he didn't want to admit it, he panicked for a moment.

So his punches became heavier and heavier, and the more he punched, the weaker his breath became.

When Lin Jiu was completely exhausted and sat on the man's chest, panting heavily, Liu Mei stepped forward, pulled him up from the ground, and hugged him.

Lin Jiu, her hands covered in blood, leaned against Liu Mei, panting. Security guards arrived at the scene quickly.

After a brief inquiry and with the help of the shop owner's surveillance footage, it was quickly confirmed that the two men were acting in good faith and in self-defense.

After a brief statement was taken, both witnesses and physical evidence were available.

The police began to disperse the onlookers and called in other officers to take the troublemakers away.

Suddenly, his hand was grabbed. Looking down, he saw Lin Jiu frowning at him.

Nodding, Liu Mei took the bottled water offered by the two kind women and began to wash the blood off his fist.

"Your brother is pretty tough. I reckon that guy was badly injured; his mouth was even crooked from being hit."

Amidst the splashing sound of water hitting the ground, Liu Mei gently spoke while rubbing the back of his hand.

"He is not my brother."

"what?"

Ignoring the two of them, Liu Mei glanced at Lin Jiu's slightly bruised hands and pulled him toward the car.

Watching the two men leave, the two women behind them exchanged a glance.

"A little puppy and his older sister?"

Back in the car, Liu Mei's sexy voice echoed through the car, which was filled with her scent.

"Have you been in a fight before?"

"I fought him once."

Why?

"Someone mentioned my mother."

"I'm not your mother~"

Lin Jiu glared at Liu Mei with annoyance, then gasped as she looked at the wound on her finger where she had accidentally bumped into that person's teeth.

"Now you know what pain is?"

"My body was under the influence of adrenaline, so I didn't feel any pain."

Looking at Lin Jiu, who was examining the cuts on her fist, a gentle smile appeared on Liu Mei's lips.

He must have been furious and shocked to see himself almost get hurt, which is why he attacked that man so viciously.

Recalling his time on the golf course, he put down his club, but ultimately gave up.

There must have been a reason for letting go that time, to avoid causing trouble for myself.

But this time, he raised his fist without hesitation.

A soft look appeared in Liu Mei's eyes as she glanced at Lin Jiu, who was looking out the window.

The feeling of being protected is not bad.

Upon arriving at the villa, Liu Mei asked Li Mo to bring the first-aid kit, took his hand, knelt down in front of him, and began to disinfect him with a wet iodine solution.

"You didn't use Nightmare Mist to kill anyone, did you?"

"Do I look like someone who goes back on their word?"

"..."

Liu Mei, who was looking down, suddenly looked up at him, a questioning glint appearing in her narrow eyes.

"What, you think women just like being untrustworthy?"

"No, it's just that I was afraid you wouldn't be able to resist."

Upon hearing this, Liu Mei suddenly realized that she had been trying to scheme against him all along, and almost forgot that he was someone who knew her dangerous desires.

"If I hadn't learned to be patient, I would have become a murderer long ago."

"and..."

"Um?"

I won't go back on my promise to you.

Looking down at Liu Mei, who was wiping his wounds, beneath their intertwined hands was a deep, snowy valley and her calm yet solemn voice.

In the silence, the cotton swab fell into the trash can.

Then Liu Mei looked up and stared at him, a mischievous smile appearing in her narrow eyes behind her frameless oval glasses.

"Give a rating."

"What...?"

Liu Mei didn't speak, her fingers moving from her knees upwards, finally landing on her snow-white collar.

Lin Jiu pursed her lips, coughed, and got up to walk towards her room.

Damn, getting caught peeking is so embarrassing...

Watching Lin Jiu flee in disarray, Liu Mei stood up with a light laugh.

Recalling the scene at the night market stall, a cold glint appeared in Liu Mei's eyes.

She did promise Lin Jiu she wouldn't kill them, but that didn't mean she would let them go.

If you like to go crazy with alcohol, then drink more.

Most things need to be compared.

The golf course incident and the angry punch he had just thrown stirred up waves of emotion within Liu Mei.

As Lin Jiu stepped out of the public bathroom on the second floor, Liu Mei handed him a glass of juice.

The purple nightgown barely covered her upper thighs, revealing large expanses of snow-white skin.

The special sheer effect on the lower abdomen makes the fair skin and the pinkish hue subtly visible.

Lin Jiu didn't dare to look too closely, and after taking the juice, she asked.

"What are you doing?"

"You protected me today, so here's a little treat for you."

"?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Liu Mei smiled and placed her hand on her shoulder. With a slight movement of her fingers, the soft fabric slid off.

Lin Jiu swallowed hard and quickly turned her head away.

Seeing this, Liu Mei chuckled and reached out to place her hand on his Adam's apple.

"Oh, you're drooling."

Lin Jiu slapped her away impatiently and frowned as she looked at her.

Just as he was about to ask her to put her clothes on, Liu Mei leaned down and whispered seductively in his ear.

"Doesn't it look even better in real life than in the comics?"

Lin Jiu blinked blankly, then looked at Liu Mei, who had straightened up and put one hand on her hip, in disbelief.

"You...you...look at me...!"

Seeing Lin Jiu's flustered appearance, Liu Mei chuckled and turned around, picking up the nightgown from the ground with her back to Lin Jiu.

Ignoring how much Lin Jiu noticed, Liu Mei swayed her hips and returned to her room.

Leaning against the closed door, Liu Mei felt her heart pounding.

The image of Lin Jiuru shoving that person aside like a bull flashed through her mind, and a gentle smile appeared on her beautiful face.
