Chapter 1469 Take Home
After finding out that those people in the company had bullied Xiaomei, Lu Feng's face suddenly became as gloomy as water, as if the sky was covered with dark clouds and would erupt with earth-shaking wrath at any time.
His eyes sparkled with unprecedented firmness and determination, and he had a strong will to never allow any harm to happen again, for the future development of his company and for his friendship.
He turned around slowly, looking at Xiaomei with gentle yet unquestionable firmness in his eyes.
Lu Feng stepped forward lightly, his tone was light but every word was sonorous and powerful: "Xiao Mei, let's go back. We will take revenge if we have revenge, and we will take grievances if we have grievances. This situation will never happen again, absolutely not! My words are as solid as a rock, and I will do what I say. You can rest assured."
As he spoke, he gently stretched out his hand. It was a warm and powerful hand that seemed to be able to dispel all the haze and give people an endless sense of security.
Xiaomei looked up, and Lu Feng's resolute face was reflected in her tearful eyes. She trembled, but finally reached out her hand. At that moment, she seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw.
Lu Feng held her hand tightly, as if he wanted to pass all his strength and determination to her.
"Brother Lu, thank you..."
Xiaomei murmured softly, her voice choked with sobs but also full of gratitude and trust.
Lu Feng just tilted his head slightly and gave her a comforting smile. That smile contained both tenderness and unshakable determination: "Don't be afraid, I'm here, no one can hurt you again."
At this moment, Lu Feng's figure became taller than ever in Xiaomei's heart. He was not only her support, but also the never-extinguished light in her heart, illuminating her way forward and warming her wounded heart.
Nan Weiwei skillfully packed Xiaomei's luggage. Every piece of clothing was folded neatly, as if to put a perfect end to a journey.
Xiaomei stood aside, her eyes full of emotion. Finally, everything was ready. The three of them carried their luggage, slowly walked out of the room, and set out on the road to leave.
When they walked past the front desk downstairs, the plump and round proprietress was sitting there leisurely, chewing melon seeds in her mouth, making crisp sounds.
Her round face was filled with an expression of leisure and satisfaction, as if everything around her had nothing to do with her and only these small melon seeds could bring her endless joy.
Her eyes wandered around randomly, and suddenly, as if attracted by something, they stopped on Nan Weiwei and Xiaomei.
The corners of her mouth slightly raised, revealing a faint smile, and then she asked casually in a slightly teasing tone: "Hey, what's going on? Why don't you stay here? It's not even daybreak yet."
There was a mixture of indifference in his tone about the guest's departure and a hint of curiosity as if it was just a routine matter, since there was no need to refund the money anyway.
When Xiaomei heard this, a gentle smile appeared on her face. There was a hint of apology and gratitude in her smile, as if she was saying goodbye to this time.
She nodded gently: "Well, my friend is here, I won't live here anymore!"
Nan Weiwei looked at the innocent face beside her with complicated eyes. Xiaomei still looked ignorant of the world, and her heart couldn't help but feel ripples.
She lowered her voice to a very low level, as if she was afraid of being heard by others, but the blame and worry in her voice did not diminish at all, and she muttered softly:
"Oh my goodness! Xiaomei, how can you greet someone like that so casually? Don't you know anything about the situation here? You just came to the capital, you don't know this kind of place."
Look at this place! Look at the surroundings. It doesn't look like a regular hotel at all! This is simply a place where those who specialize in the sex trade do their shameful things! Oh my God, how could you be so careless? How could you come to a place like this? This is too dangerous! What if something bad happens?"
"Your action is like a piece of fresh meat falling into a hungry wolf's den. It is extremely dangerous! If we hadn't arrived today, you would have been imprisoned, and the consequences would be disastrous!"
As she spoke, a hint of fear flashed across Nan Weiwei's eyes, and she held Xiaomei's hand tightly, as if she wanted to convey all her concerns and worries to her.
When Xiaomei heard this, a look of astonishment and fear appeared on her face. She widened her eyes and looked at Nan Weiwei. Her lips trembled slightly, but she couldn't utter a word.
The surrounding environment seemed to become depressing along with the emotions of the two people.
The dim lights cast mottled shadows on the walls, and the air was filled with a suffocating dullness. The occasional footsteps and whispers added a bit of weirdness and uneasiness.
Nan Weiwei looked around and saw that all the doors were closed, but it seemed that there was an unspeakable secret behind each door, so she had to leave quickly.
"Weiwei, I'm sorry..." Xiaomei bit her lower lip tightly, endless regret and self-blame surging in her heart, as if there were thousands of words choked in her throat, but could only turn into this trembling whisper.
"I really don't know. I thought people... people weren't that bad."
Her eyes looked into the distance empty, and the dark clouds in the distance seemed to be mocking her naivety and ignorance.
Lu Feng stood aside, his brows furrowed, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes.
He stuffed Xiaomei's luggage into the car roughly, and every movement seemed to vent his dissatisfaction.
"Humph, there are so many things you don't know!"
His voice seemed to come from deep in his chest, low and powerful. Every word he spoke was like a hammer hitting people's hearts, with a majesty and firmness that could not be ignored.
"Xiao Mei, I must tell you that this world is not as beautiful as you think. You are always so kind and always want to be good to others, thinking that this will win the true love of others. But you are wrong, some people are not like that."
His tone softened a bit, but still revealed a sense of helplessness and heartache. "No matter how good you are to her, she won't be grateful to you. Instead, she will think that this is what you should do. She will take your kindness for granted, and even go further, treating your kindness as capital that she can trample on at will."
As he said this, he stopped what he was doing, turned around, and stared at me with sharp eyes, as if he wanted to imprint these words deeply in my heart.
"This world is much more complicated than you think. You have to learn to protect yourself and don't always trust others so easily."
There was both blame and a hint of concern and worry in his tone.
Xiaomei lowered her head, tears welling up in her eyes, but she stubbornly refused to let them fall.
The world around her seemed to stop at this moment, and only Lu Feng's slightly rough but powerful words echoed in her ears.
Xiaomei silently chewed over his words, feeling mixed emotions.
Yes, she was too naive, always thinking that as long as she was kind to others, they would return the kindness. But she forgot that the human heart in this world is the most unpredictable thing.
A gust of wind blew by, bringing the rustling of a few fallen leaves, and also blew away the fog in my heart.
Xiao Mei raised her head and looked at Lu Feng, with a determined light in her eyes. "Thank you, Brother Lu. I understand. In the future... I will be more careful."
Although her voice was soft, it was full of determination and strength.
Lu Feng looked at Xiaomei and a barely perceptible smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
He patted Xiaomei on the shoulder, didn't say anything else, just turned around and continued to work.
Nan Weiwei was just about to speak and give Xiaomei some more advice about the new environment when a sudden cell phone ring interrupted her words.
The ringing sounded particularly harsh in the quiet night, and it made her heart tighten.
She hurriedly took out her cell phone from her pocket and slid her fingertips lightly across the screen, wondering in her heart who could be calling her at this inopportune time.
Her eyes fell on the caller ID, and the three big words "Nan Yifeng" came into view, and she suddenly felt mixed emotions in her heart.
Her brows were slightly furrowed, and she seemed a little hesitant and uneasy.
After a brief hesitation, she finally stretched out her finger and gently pressed the answer button on the phone.
The moment she heard the voice on the other end of the phone, she took a deep breath and tried to keep her voice calm and natural.
She slowly said, "Hello?" This simple word seemed to carry many emotions in her heart.
On the other end of the phone, Nan Yifeng's voice seemed to be shrouded in a veil, revealing a hint of worry and urgency.
His tone seemed to contain endless concern, as if he had traveled thousands of miles just to find a trace of her.
"Weiwei, where are you?"
Although this sentence is short, the concern contained in it is as surging as the tide.
Nan Yifeng's voice echoed in the air, carrying with it a sense of urgency that could not be ignored.
Nan Weiwei,,,,
"Weiwei, you know what? When I came home today and saw the pitch-black scene, I felt particularly uneasy and scared."
"I'm really not used to being alone in such a dark environment."
His voice trembled slightly, as if the darkness brought him not only visual discomfort, but also a kind of uneasiness deep in his heart.
He went on to say, "I always think of the plots of horror movies and imagine what terrible things might be hidden in the darkness. This feeling makes me feel particularly vulnerable and helpless. It seems that only when you are by my side can I feel a little bit of peace of mind."
His words revealed his deep dependence on her, as if she was a beacon of light in the darkness, able to dispel the fear and anxiety in his heart.
That dark space, without her presence, made him feel extremely lonely and uneasy.
There was a hint of loneliness and helplessness in his tone, which made Nan Weiwei's heart soften involuntarily.
When Nan Weiwei heard this, an inexplicable emotion surged in her heart.
She paused for two seconds, as if looking for the most appropriate answer.
Finally, she sighed softly, and the sound seemed to come from the depths of her heart, soft and long.
This sigh seemed to contain so many emotions and thoughts that it moved people.
Her tone was gentle, like the spring breeze, gently brushing past people's ears.
However, amidst this gentleness, there was also a hint of helplessness, as if there was something that she couldn't let go of easily.
"Yi Feng, I'm outside. I have something to do. I'll be back soon. You go to sleep first."
Her words are simple and clear, but the meaning behind them makes people think deeply.
This sentence sounds like an explanation to someone and also like a comfort to oneself.
Perhaps she is dealing with some tough issues or encountering some unspeakable troubles.
In any case, this sigh and this sentence left a deep impression on people, making people want to know the story behind her and feel her inner world.
After saying this, she couldn't help but smile bitterly. When did she become so perfunctory?
She originally thought that Nan Yifeng would still not come home tonight.
After all, he has been like this in recent days.
During the day at the company, he ignored her, as if she was just a transparent person.
His eyes passed over her without lingering, as if their eyes had never crossed each other's path.
Even if they passed each other in the corridor, he would not even look at her, let alone say hello to her.
It's lunch time and colleagues go to the cafeteria to eat together.
She saw him sitting alone in the corner and hesitated, but she still plucked up the courage to walk over and invite him to have lunch together.
However, his reaction disappointed her greatly. He raised his head, looked at her expressionlessly, and then said indifferently: "No, I can go by myself."
After saying that, he stood up and left his seat without looking back, leaving her standing there awkwardly.
And at night, he seemed to have disappeared without a trace.
Sometimes, she would wait until dawn, watching the sky gradually turn pale, and then she would see him returning home, exhausted and reeking of alcohol.
Such days made her feel strange and heartbroken. However, at this moment, he on the other end of the phone was like a lost child, looking for the way home in the dark.
Nan Weiwei's heart was deeply touched at this moment.
She didn't know how to deal with this sudden tenderness and dependence, but she knew that no matter what, she couldn't let him wait alone in the darkness for too long.
Nan Yifeng was on the other end of the phone, his voice mixed with traces of concern and reluctance, but he was unable to glimpse her complex and changeable emotions at the moment.
He could only try his best to make his words sound warm and solid, like a ray of sunshine in winter, trying to dispel the chill in her heart: "You...be careful on the road and come back early." He said this slowly and solemnly, as if every word carried his deep concern.
Nan Weiwei uttered a soft "hmm", the sound was as thin as a mosquito, but full of endless helplessness.
She hung up the phone silently and held the phone tightly against her chest, as if she could feel the warmth from Nan Yifeng in this way.
How did things come to this between them?
