The night in the Magic City always exudes a brilliant smell, with neon lights flashing, and every road is lively, especially in summer. Even in the evening, it is crowded with people. This is a popular city.

Zhou Xuanji was riding a bicycle and shuttled through the road. Ye Xiaoxiao was still sitting on the back seat of the bicycle, swinging her legs gently. This time she showed a different smell. One arm naturally wrapped around his waist, and her eyes smiled into a slit, with a pretty smell.

"Xiaoxiao, where your home is, I'll take you back first." Zhou Xuanji said softly. After having a buffet, Ye Xiaoxiao didn't urge her to go back. She sat in that restaurant until 8:30, and then she walked out with Zhou Xuanji slowly.

It was almost nine o'clock now, and Zhou Xuanji was very afraid of being alone with Ye Xiaoxiao, so he wanted to send her home quickly.

"Oh, I live in the Wanti Pavilion, so thank you for your hard work." Ye Xiaoxiao responded, and the voice was very soft in the night wind.

After saying that, she changed her words: "Xuanji, I originally agreed that I would treat you to this meal, but in the end you took the initiative to pay the bill. You are such a stubborn person. Alas, if you do this, I will definitely ask you back once, don't refuse me."

Zhou Xuanji had a meal in his heart, and then a bitter smile passed by. This reason was indeed very sufficient. If he had known this, he would not have paid the meal. At that time, he did not think so far. He just felt that women could never be allowed to pay when men were present.

Unexpectedly, Ye Xiaoxiao was still a very serious person, but there was a bit of joy in her tone of speech. Obviously, she enjoyed this process very much. No woman didn't like being spoiled by men, and Zhou Xuanji's performance was exactly in line with this characteristic.

"No problem, next time, I'll ask you." Zhou Xuanji responded faintly, and finally turned left at the next intersection and adjusted the direction towards Wanti Pavilion.

All night, Ye Xiaoxiao drank three glasses of red wine. Although she was a little drunk, she was not really drunk. However, with the stimulation of this little alcohol, she would have the courage to hug Zhou Xuanji's waist. If she followed her usual temperament, it would be impossible to do such a thing. After all, although she is not the kind of passive woman, she is not an active woman.

In fact, with her conditions, there are not many suitors around her, but somehow, she doesn’t feel moved at all. Maybe every woman has a small dream, that is, she must find the feeling of being moved, but often as she grows older, this dream will be shattered.

But there is always a kind of stubborn woman in this world. She would rather not marry than find a man casually. This is her arrogance.

The night wind gently brushed across his face. No one was Zhou Xuanji or Ye Xiaoxiao, but the atmosphere was a bit unharmonious.

When the car passed through Zhongshan Road and turned to a small road, the lights on the street became dim, but suddenly became lively.

The street is full of standard night shifts, and the business is surprisingly good at this time. Various fragrances are pouring into the nose, and the sounds of cooking, shouting and chatting are all pouring out.

Zhou Xuanji looked at the scene in front of him and his car slowed down. After riding for so long, he had already sweated a little in this kind of weather.

Ye Xiaoxiao said softly at this time: "Xuanji, let's go down and have a walk. I'm going to get home in ten minutes."

Zhou Xuanji stopped the car, Ye Xiaoxiao took advantage of the situation to stand up and accompany him. The two of them slowly walked forward. At this moment, there was a quarrel among the crowd on one side, and then a thin figure rushed straight into Zhou Xuanji's arms.

When the figure hit, the little hand took advantage of the situation to touch Zhou Xuanji's pocket. But somehow, the hand just touched his pants pocket, but suddenly it became numb. The next moment, an arm blocked the figure's waist.

"Children, be careful when walking." Zhou Xuanji had a smile on his face. He held the car with one hand and blocked the man's waist with the other.

This was actually a half-year-old child, with his hair messy and he hadn't been trimmed to his scalp. He didn't know how long it had been trimmed. He was wearing a set of shabby clothes and could no longer see the original color. The shoes on his feet were also quite worn. For a moment, Zhou Xuanji couldn't tell whether it was a man or a woman.

The child looked up at Zhou Xuanji with big eyes, but his expression was filled with fear.

Four people were surrounded by one side, one in his forties and the other three in his twenties. The four people were dressed quite cleanly, but their faces were a bit tough and a bit scattered. It seemed that they were the kind of people who bullied a lot on their daily life, and they had developed this rogue attitude.

The four people looked at Zhou Xuanji with a fierce look, and it seemed that they wanted to do something. After seeing these four people, the child couldn't help but tremble, and there was a bit of complex emotions in his eyes, as if he was nervous and afraid.

Zhou Xuanji felt a little moved when he saw this. Finally, he reached out and patted the child's head, and said softly: "It seems that you are hungry, why don't you take you to eat something?"

The man in his forties took a step forward, squinted his eyes, and said viciously to Zhou Xuanji: "Friend, this is my daughter, so I won't have to worry about you to take care of you. I can take good care of you myself."

"Daughter?" Zhou Xuanji was stunned, then glanced at the child who was like a little beggar by his side, and a bit of sadness flashed through his heart. There was nothing to say about a boy in this state. He had to raise a man in poverty and let him know some of the sufferings of life. As long as it did not affect his character and outlook on life, it would be nothing bad to experience this kind of life, but a girl fell into such a field, which clearly had something else.

Originally, when the child bumped into him, his hand was directly stretched into his pocket, which was clearly about to steal things. He also took action as fast as lightning. With that kind of pace, he was definitely a veteran in this industry, and he should be a real elite, and he probably had reached a real professional level.

Looking at the four people in front of him again, Zhou Xuanji sighed in his heart. In this situation, it was clear that these four people were forcing the girl to steal things.

He raised his eyebrows and looked at the four people in front of him. Zhou Xuanji raised his mouth, and his eyes were slightly sharp. However, he still didn't say anything, but he patted the head of the child next to him and said lightly: "Girl, if you want to follow your uncle, you promise not to let anyone bully you. You don't have to be afraid, if there is anything, I will take care of you."

A hint of hesitation flashed through Ye Xiaoxiao's eyes. In her opinion, Zhou Xuanji was involved in other people's housework, which seemed a bit inappropriate.

At this moment, Zhou Xuanji seemed to understand her thoughts, and reached out to pat her shoulder, saying nothing, just handed her a look of peace of mind.

Ye Xiaoxiao then calmed down. Although Zhou Xuanji didn't say anything, for some reason, it was the thing contained in that glance that made her feel extremely at ease, just like this man was like a mountain, blocking all her troubles outside, and the only thing left was peace.
