Mr. Li, The Heart Bandit [COMPLETE]

121-130

She even started singing to muster her courage.

Crunch—

That was when a weird sound left her pausing.

It was a common sound, however, just like a shoe stepping on leaves.

But if she remembered correctly, there was no other human here. She was alone on this road!

There’s no human… so, did that mean it wasn’t a human?

She could hear the sound coming ever closer and closer…

Goosebumps appeared all over Tian Miaomiao’s skin. Even her hair was standing on end.

Unable to help herself, her mind thought of what Jiang Yigu had said.

Many people… died on this road!

Was it a vengeful soul behind her… or a serial killer?!

Just as her mind went wild, an ice-cold hand abruptly pressed over her shoulder.

A chill spread from that touch over her whole body.

Tian Miaomiao’s breath was caught. Her entire body stiffened as she was afraid to move, and even her teeth were clattering too.

Her mind wandered a thousand miles again, and she thought about vampires this time.

Was it going to bite down on her neck and drain every drop of her blood, leaving only bones!

“Tian Miao—”

“Argh! A ghost!” She screamed, while reacting instinctively by catching the hand and launching a shoulder throw.

There was a bang, and a person’s wincing of pain.

Tian Miaomiao felt proud of her own savagery, every bit of fear hence evaporating.

But even as she was feeling pleased with herself, she looked down to find Jiang Yigu rising to his feet raggedly, adjusting his glasses on his brow which was tightening in pain. As he rubbed his arm, his cold eyes were dyed with rage and he exclaimed, “Tian Miaomiao, you must be a transvestite from Thailand!”

So strong!

In all his life, this was the first time he was shoulder thrown by a woman.

Such humiliation!

Tian Miaomiao’s eyes widened in disbelief. “Why is it you?”

“Who else could it be? A ghost?” Jiang Yigu limped towards her; he sounded annoyed. “I’ve come to watch you because I’m afraid something would happen to you. Is that how you treat someone helping you?”

Tian Miaomiao was stunned, but soon recovered. “How did you know my name?”

Jiang Yigu glanced at the name tag in front of her chest. “Anyone not blind could see that.”

Her face growing hot, she plucked off the name tag and slid it into her pocket. “Sorry,” she said, scratching her head apologetically.

Jiang Yigu waved her off nonchalantly. “It’s fine. Let’s go, I’ll walk you home.”

“Okay…” Tian Miaomiao replied, pursing her lips.

As the two walked side-by-side, even the rustling of leaves now sounded melodious.

Jiang Yigu was quite tall, his checkered shirt flapping in the wind as the eyes beneath his gold-rimmed glasses remained as still as water.

Tian Miaomiao looked much smaller walking beside him.
