"Forget it, this isn't good."
Xu Xiuwen said insincerely, then turned to head towards the men's restroom.
Suddenly, An Shishi grabbed his hand.
An Shishi licked her lips suggestively and said, "Honey, I missed you so much. Why don't you just agree to it?"
Seeing An Shishi's seductive gaze, and having not been with a woman for a long time, Xu Xiuwen naturally had some reaction.
An Shishi noticed his hesitation.
She suddenly said to Xu Xiuwen, "Honey, wait for me a moment."
With that, she turned and walked into the women's restroom.
She called out, "Is anyone here?"
The empty women's restroom only echoed back her voice.
An Shishi returned to Xu Xiuwen and said, "No one's inside."
Then she grabbed Xu Xiuwen's hand and led him towards the women's restroom.
Xu Xiuwen's resolve was already weak. In front of An Shishi, he was even more susceptible to temptation and couldn't resist.
Thus, he was led into the women's restroom by An Shishi.
The biggest difference between the women's and men's restrooms was that there were no urinals in the women's restroom.
The women's restroom only had a row of stalls.
An Shishi pulled Xu Xiuwen straight to the last stall.
Once inside the stall, An Shishi immediately locked the door.
Then she stood on tiptoe and planted a soft kiss on him.
The warm, soft embrace made it hard for Xu Xiuwen to restrain himself.
He was lost in the woman's tenderness.
The women's restroom was very quiet, so quiet that they could hear the sound of dripping water.
In the last stall, Xu Xiuwen pressed An Shishi against the door.
An Shishi covered her mouth with her hands, afraid of making any noise.
Xu Xiuwen kept pushing forward.
Time flew by, and in a blink, over ten minutes had passed.
At that moment, footsteps suddenly came from outside the stall.
The footsteps grew closer, indicating that someone was coming in.
Xu Xiuwen immediately snapped back to reality and warned, "Don't make any noise; someone is coming!"
An Shishi also became more alert.
Using her flexibility, she turned her head to Xu Xiuwen's face and said, "Then don't move."
The two of them stopped and held their breath, listening to the sounds outside.
The footsteps grew nearer, and soon they were right outside.
"Shishi, are you in there?"
A familiar voice came from outside.
Both Xu Xiuwen and An Shishi immediately recognized the voice.
It was Cheng Lu's voice.
An Shishi was stunned, unsure of what to do.
Xu Xiuwen, from behind, embraced An Shishi.
He didn't dare make a sound and could only use his lips to silently instruct her to speak.
An Shishi then realized what to do.
She said nervously, "Lu Lu, I'm in here."
Cheng Lu outside seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.
"I thought you were missing since you hadn't come back for so long."
An Shishi calmed down a bit.
She came up with an excuse, "I have a stomachache."
"Are you feeling better now?"
An Shishi replied, "I'll be fine soon. You can go ahead; you don't need to wait for me."
Cheng Lu responded with a smile, "I'll just take a quick break."
With that, she entered the neighboring stall.
Cheng Lu was there to use the restroom.
Soon, Xu Xiuwen heard the sound of water running.
An Shishi turned to Xu Xiuwen and mouthed, "What should we do?"
Xu Xiuwen was also feeling frustrated.
He wasn't sure what to do.
It wasn't safe to leave now; if he ran into another woman, he wouldn't be able to explain himself.
Despite his frustration, the current situation was quite thrilling.
Cheng Lu was just next door, and here he was with An Shishi.
An Shishi's bold nature was evident; otherwise, she wouldn't have pulled him into the women's restroom.
Since Xu Xiuwen wasn't afraid, she was even less so.
The atmosphere quickly became suggestive again.
Soon, the sound of flushing came from next door, indicating Cheng Lu had finished using the restroom.
When Cheng Lu came out of the stall, she asked, "Shishi, are you feeling better? Do you want me to wait for you?"
An Shishi replied with difficulty, "No need, I… I'll be out in a bit."
Her voice trembled slightly, but Cheng Lu didn't seem to notice.
Cheng Lu responded with a "Mm" and said, "Then I'll head back first."
"Okay."
The footsteps gradually faded as Cheng Lu left.
Xu Xiuwen knew he couldn't delay any longer and needed to leave quickly.
An Shishi bent down to adjust her clothes, and Xu Xiuwen quickly got dressed.
After they both finished tidying up, Xu Xiuwen said, "You go out first. If no one's around, send me a text, and I'll come out immediately."
An Shishi nodded and quickly opened the door to leave.
Listening to An Shishi's footsteps fade away, Xu Xiuwen stared at his phone.
Soon, he received a text message.
Xu Xiuwen immediately left the stall and walked out of the women's restroom.
Outside the women's restroom, An Shishi stood in the hallway, like a lookout, surveying the end of the corridor.
When she saw Xu Xiuwen come out, An Shishi winked at him.
Xu Xiuwen said quietly, "You should head back now."
An Shishi nodded and left.
Xu Xiuwen made a show of visiting the men's restroom and washing his hands before returning to the private room.
As he entered the room, Xiao Youran immediately approached him.
She linked her arm with Xu Xiuwen's and asked, "Xiao Xu, why did you take so long? I thought you had left."
Xu Xiuwen gently pulled his arm away and said, "The food I ate tonight was bad; I had a stomachache."
Xiao Youran didn't question his explanation and asked nervously, "Are you okay? Do you need any medicine?"
Xu Xiuwen smiled and waved his hand, "I'm fine now."
Seeing him say that, Xiao Youran finally relaxed.
At that moment, no one was singing anymore.
Xu Xiuwen asked in confusion, "Why isn't anyone singing? Keep going."
Xiao Youran immediately replied, "I'm tired of singing."
Cheng Lu also shook her head slightly, clearly not wanting to sing anymore.
Song Siyu had little expression, and An Shishi had hardly sung at all.
Xu Xiuwen then said, "Since no one wants to sing anymore, let's head back."
The girls did not object.
Song Siyu frowned and said, "It's so late, the dorm supervisor must be asleep. We won't be able to get back in."
Xiao Youran smiled and said, "Xiao Xu, I want to stay at your place tonight."
Xu Xiuwen immediately felt a gaze directed at him.
He quickly said, "As long as Lu Lu doesn't mind, I have no objections."
Xiao Youran pouted and said, "It's your place, why does Cheng Lu need to agree?"
"Because Lu Lu is my girlfriend."
"Hmph!" Xiao Youran was displeased and snorted.
Song Siyu suggested, "Youran, let's find a hotel to sleep. We don't need to go there; who cares about him anyway?"
Cheng Lu promptly interjected, "You guys can stay at Xiuwen's place. The rooms are enough, and it's unsafe to go to a hotel this late. If people find out, it could hurt your reputation."
Cheng Lu had spoken.
Song Siyu didn't insist further.
No one knew what Xiao Youran was thinking.
Thus, the group of five left the private room and exited the KTV.
After leaving the KTV, they found a dark alleyway at the bottom of the building.
The alley was pitch black.
Xu Xiuwen glanced casually and suddenly noticed three figures inside.
Judging by their build, it seemed like two men were blocking a woman.
The figures were quite far from the alley's entrance, so an average person wouldn't hear their conversation.
However, Xu Xiuwen had better hearing than most, so he caught snippets of the men's threatening voices and the girl's frightened cries.
The girl's voice was clear and sounded young.
"Is it an assault?" Xu Xiuwen wasn't sure.
He frowned, unsure whether to get involved.
Cheng Lu, noticing Xu Xiuwen suddenly stop, asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"
Xu Xiuwen didn't answer.
Cheng Lu followed Xu Xiuwen's gaze and saw the figures in the alley.
"What's happening?" she asked, drawing the attention of the other three women.
Xu Xiuwen quickly said, "I vaguely heard the girl asking for help. It sounds like she's in trouble!"
Xiao Youran, alarmed, asked, "What should we do?"
Cheng Lu calmly replied, "Call the police immediately."
Xu Xiuwen shook his head, "It might be too late for that."
He had already decided to intervene.
Xu Xiuwen turned to the four women and said, "I'll go check it out. You stay here, and if things go wrong, call the police."
Xiao Youran, worried, said, "Xiao Xu, don't go. It's dangerous."
Xu Xiuwen smiled reassuringly, "It's fine. I'll assess the situation. If it's too risky, I'll back off."
With that, Xu Xiuwen walked into the alley.
As he got closer, he could see and hear more clearly.
"Little beauty, don't refuse your big brothers. Come and play with us. We'll make you happy," said one man's voice.
It sounded vaguely familiar.
"Yeah, beautiful, we're not bad guys. We just want to have some fun with you. We won't hurt you," another man said with a lecherous laugh.
The men's laughter followed.
The girl, feeling regret and despair, was on the verge of tears.
She had secretly come to the KTV, hiding it from her mother and classmates.
She had been enjoying herself earlier, but after singing, she was blocked from leaving.
There was a male classmate who was supposed to escort her home.
However, to her dismay, the classmate who was usually boastful and known as Brother Yang at school, had fled immediately after being threatened and slapped.
She was utterly disappointed.
Now, she was dragged into the alley by the two men.
She had shouted and begged for help when she was brought in, but passersby hurried away as if they were deaf, clearly afraid of getting involved.
The girl was leaning against the cold wall.
She was only fifteen years old.
Although she was terrified, the girl tried to stay calm and said to the two men, "Let me go, and I'll pretend nothing happened tonight."
"Haha, letting you go is impossible. Don't even dream about it!"
"Yeah, beauty, if you don't play with us, we won't let you leave."
The girl warned, "Do you know who I am?"
"Haha, why should I care who you are?"
The girl, growing anxious, said, "My mom is the mayor. If you touch me, she won't let you get away with it."
The men laughed loudly at her words.
"If your mom is the mayor, then I'm the mayor's father."
"Look at you, dressed so provocatively at night. You're just asking for it. Don't pretend to be reserved."
"Don't worry. As long as you play with us for a while and satisfy us, we'll let you go."
…
Listening to their vulgar comments, the girl was almost in tears.
She deeply regretted coming to the KTV with her male classmate so late.
The thought of being assaulted by these men made her tears flow uncontrollably.
Xu Xiuwen approached quietly in the darkness.
When he got closer, he could hear their conversation clearly.
However, none of the three noticed his arrival.
Xu Xiuwen didn't act immediately.
He took a moment to observe the men in the dim light and was stunned.
One of the men was the same person who had blocked Xu Mingxue from leaving at the KTV last time.
Xu Xiuwen was struck by the coincidence.
He then looked at the girl and was instantly impressed.
Her delicate and youthful features marked her as a typical beauty.
Dressed in a T-shirt and shorts, her long, slender, and fair legs were exposed.
Although her figure was slightly immature, it had a unique charm.
It was clear she was a young girl, just coming into womanhood.
Realistically, if Xu Xiuwen were a thug, seeing such a beautiful girl alone at night would be tempting.
However, this did not mean he supported or condoned the men's actions.
Looking at the girl trapped by the two thugs, Xu Xiuwen noted her ability to remain composed in such a situation, indicating strong psychological resilience.
However, she was now on the brink of collapse.
Xu Xiuwen decided to act and suddenly called out, "Golden necklace, what are you doing?"
The sudden voice startled the three men.
Once they realized someone had spoken, they instinctively looked in the direction of the sound.
The girl was relieved to see someone had arrived, thinking she was saved.
But upon seeing that it was only one person, and although he looked tall, he didn't seem very strong, she became anxious again.
The men, initially alarmed by the arrival of someone, relaxed when they saw it was just Xu Xiuwen.
The man with the golden necklace—no, the man wearing the golden necklace—remained silent.
The other man shouted at Xu Xiuwen, "Get lost! Or I'll beat you to death!"
Xu Xiuwen chuckled, "Golden necklace, do you recognize me?"
The golden necklace man scrutinized Xu Xiuwen's face and soon recognized him.
The man's face showed a flash of anger. "It's you!"
Xu Xiuwen laughed heartily, "So, you remember me now."
The golden necklace man, seeing his enemy, was burning with a desire for revenge.
However, recalling their previous encounter where he had been easily overpowered, he hesitated and was reluctant to advance.
The man next to him didn't think as much.
Seeing Xu Xiuwen not backing down, he couldn't hold back and charged at Xu Xiuwen, throwing a punch.
Xu Xiuwen deftly dodged the punch and then kicked out forcefully, striking the man's side with a powerful blow.
Bang!
The man was sent flying two or three meters by the kick, crashing into the wall before slumping down and losing consciousness.
Xu Xiuwen smiled faintly at the golden necklace man and asked, "How about you? Do you want to fight?"
Seeing his companion knocked out by a single kick, the golden necklace man knew he was no match for Xu Xiuwen.
He tried to intimidate him with a show of bravado, "Don't come any closer. My brothers are nearby. One call, and they'll all be here. You'll be dead for sure!"
"Oh, threatening me?" Xu Xiuwen raised an eyebrow, his expression amused.
The golden necklace man, panicked, instinctively said, "I didn't mean it."
"Haha…" Xu Xiuwen laughed heartily.
The golden necklace man's face flushed with embarrassment, realizing that threats were useless against Xu Xiuwen.
He knew he couldn't win in a fight and felt helpless.
After some hesitation, he asked, "What do you want?"
Xu Xiuwen remained silent, calmly watching him.
The golden necklace man, recognizing Xu Xiuwen's intent, quickly said, "Let's forget about what happened last time. We'll avoid each other; just let me leave."
Xu Xiuwen chuckled, "Letting you go isn't impossible."
He then lifted his leg and placed it against the wall. Patting his thigh, he said, "I can let you go, but you'll have to crawl through there."
The golden necklace man was furious but didn't dare to confront Xu Xiuwen.
After a long hesitation, he asked, "You really will let me go?"
