Liao Yu left the bookstore. Lin Mo glanced at the money placed on the counter and put it into the drawer.
He didn't expect that this girl would really give the money back. Although he said so at first, in today's society, it is indeed a bit luxurious to talk about trust between two strangers.
"Am I thinking too badly of everyone?"
He laughed at himself. To be honest, he was not much older than Liao Yu, but when he saw a girl like Liao Yu, Lin Mo would subconsciously regard her as a little girl.
Thinking about the way Liao Yu hesitated to speak when he sent the money back just now, Lin Mo knew that the other party must have wanted to remind him about the price of selling the book.
He sighed, and for a moment he didn't even want to close the door. He looked at the dark street outside, dazed.
What are you thinking?
I don't know, maybe because he is not used to the atmosphere of the bookstore, Lin Mo always seems to be in a daze for no reason today.
Inexplicably eroded by fatigue, he stood there motionless and stared at the scene outside the door. Those who originally paid attention to the situation in the teahouse seemed to have retreated. The surroundings were very quiet, which made Lin Mo couldn't help but begin to doubt his previous thoughts.
Are you really overcomplicating things?
If you think too complicatedly, you will make yourself very tired. Since the mirror of the past world was unsealed, Lin Mo has been busy, because of money, because of this or that matter.
Now that I am really free, I seem to be uncomfortable with it.
"Ah! Help!"
In a daze, a girl's frightened scream suddenly sounded outside. The piercing scream cut through the night sky, instantly dispelling all the quiet atmosphere.
"Um?"
Lin Mo frowned and looked out the door subconsciously, but the street was dark and he didn't see anyone.
He hesitated for a moment, considering whether to go and see what happened. In the past, this kind of uneven road had nothing to do with Lin Mo. Even if he saw it, he would turn a blind eye. In that sentence
Well, it means that people in this world have their own destiny.
But this time Lin Mo hesitated. Maybe it was because he had established a relationship with Zhang Ningxi, or maybe it was because this girl still sent money for books at night. Lin Mo's heart was no longer as calm as before.
I began to doubt whether those things in the past, those so-called common sense and experiences, were really so reasonable.
Today, he wanted to mind these nosy matters.
Lin Mo was not a hesitant person. He made a decision in his heart. Even if he was not sure whether it was right or wrong, he still took action.
I pushed open the door of the bookstore and walked straight out. On the already somewhat empty street, there was a girl running towards me, shouting.
"is her?"
Seeing the girl's figure, Lin Mo recognized it immediately. After all, this girl was in his bookstore a few minutes ago. Even if his memory is poor and he has no interest in this girl, he will not be so short-term.
Time has completely forgotten this girl's voice and appearance.
"Help!"
When the girl saw Lin Mo, she seemed to have seen a savior. She waved her hands and kept shouting, while running hard in the direction of Lin Mo.
The sound of shoes hitting the ground echoed in the empty street. Lin Mo noticed that behind the girl, there were a few guys dressed very slutty, chasing her in this direction.
The girl named Liao Yu was running as hard as she could. Looking at her anxious look, Lin Mo had roughly guessed what was going on.
Before Lin Mo could make any move, Liao Yu had already rushed to Lin Mo's side, grabbed Lin Mo's arm, and hid behind Lin Mo. A soft touch came from behind, which made Lin Mo's mind wander.
.
"Boss, help, they want to arrest me!"
The girl's voice came from behind, and her arm was tightly grasped. Lin Mo frowned, but did not free his arm. He just frowned and looked at the three people chasing after him.
The clothes on these three people are very conspicuous. Although they have not dyed their hair, but the earrings, ripped pants, the nondescript tattoos on their arms, and the scoundrel look, you can tell at a glance that it is not something.
Good bird.
To be honest, in this day and age, there are really not many people who can still maintain such a retro gangster look.
Looking across the faces of several people, Lin Mo first confirmed the identity of the other party. He had not seen these people on Maple Street, nor were they the people who monitored the teahouse.
But if it weren't for the little gangster who came here to mess around after Lin Mo left Maple Street, Lin Mo really couldn't be sure.
"Let's go"
These people were not taken seriously by Lin Mo. He and these people were not from the same world at all. To put it bluntly, Lin Mo felt that it was a bit of a loss to take action against these people.
I wanted to take Liao Yu and leave directly, but I never thought that when those people saw Lin Mo, they not only did not stop, but also ran quickly to Lin Mo. The three of them divided into three directions and blocked Lin Mo.
"Boy! Stop!"
"That's right, beauty, why are you running away? My brothers won't harm you. How dangerous is it to walk alone at this late night? We'll take you home..."
"Qiangzi, this girl runs too fast, but I am exhausted!"
... ...
The three people stood still, panting heavily. The three people's physical strength was obviously not good enough. Even Lin Mo felt that if he hadn't come out, given Liao Yu's physical strength and running speed, these people would have been able to get rid of them.
"I don't need you
Send it! This is my boyfriend, why don’t you leave quickly?”
Before Lin Mo said anything, Liao Yu, who was standing behind Lin Mo, spoke first, holding Lin Mo's arm tightly while shouting at the three men.
There was a trace of fear in the tone, and the voice was slightly trembling. After saying this, he immediately hid behind Lin Mo and secretly looked at the three people.
Hearing Liao Yu's words, Lin Mo frowned. Although he came out this time to meddle in other people's business, being directly pulled over and used as a shield by the other party still made him feel a little unhappy, and he already had a girlfriend.
, but this girl said he was her boyfriend.
Although he knew that the other party was just trying to find a reasonable excuse to drive these three people away, in Lin Mo's opinion, this excuse was really bad.
The good impression I had towards this girl named Liao Yu disappeared in an instant. I couldn't say I was disgusted, but she was not much different from a passerby.
Lin Mo was not a person who liked to explain. Since the other party had already finished speaking, he did not need to explain anything to the three gangsters in front of him. He glanced at the other party indifferently and stood there without doing anything.
"Boy, it's not your business, you'd better not interfere, you know?"
The long-haired man among the three people spoke. Almost as soon as Liao Yu finished speaking, the three people's attention was focused on Lin Mo.
Even if Lin Mo didn't want to take care of it at this time, there was no possibility of retreating.
"roll!"
His face turned cold, and his good mood disappeared instantly. Lin Mo looked at the three people in front of him, and the feeling of impatience in his heart became stronger and stronger.
"you..."
The long-haired man pointed his finger at Lin Mo. Just as he was about to curse, a black shadow flashed past, and the next second the man screamed in pain and flew backwards.
This momentary change caught everyone off guard. The two people following the long-haired man felt their eyes blurred as their companions flew out while Lin Mo slowly moved his feet.
Put it down.
Just now, before the long-haired man could say anything obscene, Lin Mo, who was already very impatient, kicked him out.
Although he did not use any power in his body, even the power of his muscles was controlled by Lin Mo and he only used less than 1% of his strength. However, the effect was still very obvious. With a simple kick, the man was already beaten.
Fall to the ground.
Liao Yu, who was standing behind Lin Mo, didn't even see clearly what was going on. The hateful long-haired man was already screaming in pain on the ground. She stared blankly, as if she hadn't reacted yet.
The corner of his mouth twitched. Lin Mo really couldn't understand why someone so weak would come out to do such a thing and scream?
