Ye Nian Nian quickly called her elder brother for help.
Ye ZhengYu remained calm after learning someone wanted to harm his little sister, but he put the work in his hands aside and headed for Capital University.
Ye Nian Nian decisively told her brother that it was Huo Yao who helped her.
Ye ZhengYu wasn't surprised that Huo Yao was in Capital University but was surprised she saved Ye Nian Nian.
On the way, he learned that they went to the police station to make a statement. He instructed his driver to take the route to the police station.
When Ye ZhengYu arrived, he found Huo Yao lazily sitting on a bench in a corner, and Ye Nian Nian was talking about the incident with a police officer.
Huo Yao was about to leave seeing that the police had already arrived, but Ye Nian Nian rushed to hug her tightly, refusing to let go no matter what she said.
She demanded that she had to go to the police station with her because she was scared.
In the end, Huo Yao had to come along with them. What a waste of her time.
Ye ZhengYu didn't rush to his sister, nor did he voice out his anger at the group of thugs who wanted to harm his sister.
He unhurriedly went to Huo Yao's side and sat down beside her. "Thank you for helping her despite her previous behaviour," he said.
Huo Yao just nodded without looking at him.
Ye ZhengYu looked at her quietly.
One thing he understood from the past is that he can't force her to accept him or his love, even though she chose to give birth to his child.
Her temperament was always wild. He was also surprised when he found out her actual personality accidentally.
That time he had just come back home one and a half months later. So his friends called him to hang out.
He was feeling a little suffocated inside the bar, so he came out to smoke a cigarette in a quiet alley near the bar. But he got a special surprise.
That time he heard a gunshot sound with someone's desperate cry for his life.
He just wanted to take a look out of boredom.
When he approached the dark alley, he saw a thin girl with short hair playing with a gun in her hand, and a man was rolling on the ground near her feet in pain.
The girl seemed like she didn't notice his pain as she stepped on his gunshot wound. The man cried out even more.
He heard the girl saying to the man in a soft and sweet but empty voice, which may be akin to a hell alarm to the man,
"Are you feeling pain, uncle? I cried like this when you beat me. I also cried and begged you to let me go. But you beat me even more fiercely."
She squatted down near the man and whispered, "What you said back then, remember, uncle?"
"Let me help you remember it. You said: Cry, cry your heart out. The more you cry, the happier I feel."
She continued whispering, "I was a three-year-old baby back then, the same age as your child, but you didn't show me any mercy."
Suddenly she sighed, "Now I return the pain to uncle. I feel better. Wait some more time in pain, uncle, maybe some passerby will take pity and help you call an ambulance. Like this passerby, isn't it, Mr. Passerby?"
She stood up and asked him lightly, "Was the show interesting, Young Master Ye? Did you see enough?"
Ye ZhengYu recognized her voice at the very beginning but still said nothing.
He thought that at that time, anyway, it had nothing to do with him or whatever she wanted to do.
But one thing he understood: this girl was not the obedient and docile type she normally showed.
As he heard her continuous whispering, he felt something stirring inside him, like someone gripping his heart very tightly, making it hard for him to breathe.
Seeing she was still looking at him quietly, he cleared his throat, "I was smoking here, bored. So I came to take a look after hearing the noise."
He was about to ask kindly how she would clear the mess, if she needed any help, but heard her cold voice ring out in the dark alley again.
"Then I will ask Young Master Ye to do me a favour, to treat this as a small entertainment for passing the time and not to bother with this matter. After all, this is a small matter for Young Master Ye."
Then she turned to go inside the alley as she ordered, "Clean the mess, Ah Jie. Also, take good care of my uncle so that he can remember me forever."
Only then did Ye ZhengYu realize that other people were also present here other than her.
Since she didn't need his help, he turned to leave too.
...
Huo Yao snapped her fingers in front of Ye ZhengYu's eyes.
"Young Master Ye, staring at people so intensely is quite rude, don't you know?"
Ye ZhengYu snapped back to the present from recalling the past.
Hearing her words, he smiled wickedly, at the same time charmingly, "I don't stare at people rudely, but I love to stare at the girl I love intensely."
Huo Yao fell silent upon hearing his words and chose to ignore him.
Suddenly, they heard someone exclaim, "Oh my god! Huo Yao, what did you do now that you have to go to the police station?"
