Chapter 75: Violence
At the sight of the tottering woman, Yue was a little worried.
Following a vigorous stride, she held Si Wan steady.
Giving a beaming smile, Si Wan looked like the warm sun in winter that melted Yue’s frozen heart.
Emotion could distract people. Especially, when facing enemies, no one could afford to get distracted. Yue knew it too well as a veteran fighter who had experienced countless life-or-death moments.
But sometimes people just couldn’t keep their hearts under control.
Such as with that man back then, in the accident later, and in the current situation.
Due to a slip of the mind, Yue was pressed down by two men against a table.
It was a big mistake for her to lose composure, but she had been used to disciplines and ruthless fights.
Disturbed by the sudden sweetness, she was prevailed by a bunch of idiots.
Since her sister was bullied, Si Wan acted like a furious tiger. Under the effect of intoxication, her eyes were blood-shot, and the smile on her face disappeared.
Like a demon fighting her way out of the hell, Si Wan looked at those men as if they were already dead.
“Let go of her!”
Every pore and cell of her was clamoring. Hardly had her voice died away when Si Wan moved before everyone could react.
The two men grabbing Yue already lay on the ground in pain and lost control of their arms.
Slowly straightening up, Yue stared at Si Wan and found her unfamiliar.
Unexpectedly, Si Wan was once a trainee in the death boot camp!
Trainees of the boot camp would experience all kinds of hardships and combat exercises with live ammunition. In such exercises, they had to face natural disasters, real wars, and among others, assassinations.
How was it possible?
As far as she knew, Si Wan had never left the imperial capital before.
She was shocked to see Si Wan crushing those besiegers.
Although her moves were brutal, she just rendered them harmless instead of injuring them seriously.
Her combat skills were a little rusty but definitely top-notch.
Compared with those female agents and killers, Si Wan was not any inferior.
Regarding her strength, she was definitely a treasure, but Gong Siming was still unaware of it.
Yue sighed with emotions. Si Wan was such a good fighter that her protection was unnecessary.
Unless Si Wan was willing to be beaten or besieged by masters, ordinary people could hardly hurt her without weapons.
A great show required audience.
Holding a glass of wine, Yue stood by, watching Si Wan teasing those bastards.
This girl was so funny that she dislocated the joints of their hands and feet.
Like a champion on the stage, she waved to the audience, declaring her victory.
Those onlookers acted like seeing a monster. How would a normal person greet others so happily after injuring so many people?
Those men under her feet were like a pile of cabbages.
She staggered her way to Yue and fell upon her body.
“Don’t worry, we are family. I’ll protect you.”
This was the last sentence before Si Wan fell asleep.
Family sounded so distant. Born an orphan, Yue had walked the world and got used to the law of the jungle. Until a person saved her and gave her a name.
More luckily, she joined the army and met a bunch of like-minded people.
Even so, it never felt like family.
Her greatest ambition was to find that person and repay him. However, her effort was in vain.
She helplessly supported the woman in her arms, but Si Wan could barely stand.
Totally drunk, she was still anxious to protect others. Yue’s gaze at Si Wan was a little blank.
The security guards tried to stop them but respectfully fell back as soon as Yue showed her black card. Then the place was cleaned up.
Shortly after that, everyone resumed their anesthesia as if nothing had happened.
People were cold-hearted like this. But how about the girl sleeping in Yue’s arms?
Was her care for Yue unintentional or sincere?
Suddenly, Yue remembered a distance existence discarded by her and felt a dull pain in her heart. Was that how family felt like?
She couldn’t afford such an extravagant hope.
She carried Si Wan into the car. Along the short path, people darted glances at them with complicated emotions such as regret, jealousy, and blessing. Whatever! Yue had never cared about the opinions of irrelevant people.
As Yue placed Si Wan gently on the rear seat, Hue Er was surprised to detect her tenderness. In shock and bewilderment, he looked at Yue.
“Don’t ask, don’t speak, just drive.”
Following her cold tone, Yue slammed the car door shut. Cozilyleaning against the back of the seat, she closed her eyes.
He didn’t dare to say anything but slowly drove the car into the endless darkness.
After gently placing Si Wan on her bed, Yue got on her sofa to sleep.
It was not until the light went off in the room that Hua Er took his slow departure.
Always keeping regular hours, Yue slept in for the first time.
When she slowly woke up, Si Wan already got breakfast ready and was waiting for her.
Facing Si Wan, Yue felt a little at loss.
“Sister Yue, you’re awake, come and have some breakfast.”
She was somehow also at a loss for words.
“I’m gonna clean myself up first.”
Yue suddenly wanted to flee.
But she had been assigned the task of protecting Si Wan.
Yue sat quietly at the table, eating her breakfast with a poker face.
Si Wan was a little confused, but Yue was all nice yesterday. Why did she suddenly become indifferent today?
But she could only remember that they went to a bar for some wine.
She seemed drunk and had forgotten the things afterwards.
When she woke up, she found herself in bed.
Did she do anything that had upset Yue last night?
“Sister Yue, did I do anything terrible?”
Had it been someone else, Si Wan wouldn’t have troubled herself to explain. But Yue was special and like her family.
“Nope.”
Yue’s reply was brief, and her face was emotionless.
“Sister Yue, what did I do after I got drunk?”
Upon hearing the question, Yue raised her head with confusion. Had she forgotten it all?
Then the family thing was only her random talk in the state of intoxication. Yue suddenly felt lost.
Sometimes, helplessness was better than disappointment.
“Last night, you violently beat up some hooligans.”
What! Si Wan was shocked by her own violence!
“Were you hurt?”
Yue was upset again by the unexpected question.
She made no reply.
“Sister Yue, did I cause you any trouble? I don’t want to lose you. I have only a few family members left and couldn’t afford to lose another. Don’t get mad at me. I promise not to drink again.”Têxt © NôvelDrama.Org.
Yue saw tears welling up in Si Wan’s eyes and didn’t know how to reply.
Si Wan really took her as her family member, but she was not worthy.
