Chapter 28 – Autistic Young Master VS Ruthless Boss (3)
They were just two ordinary thugs, how could they withstand the well-trained Leng Xiao? Even if he was injured, they were no match for him.
Mu Jin widened his eyes as he looked at the man who suddenly appeared before him. The man seemed to be well over six feet tall. With the nearby streetlight, Mu Jin could clearly see his features.
The newcomer appeared to be around thirty years old, with sharp eyebrows and tiger-like eyes, exuding a dangerous aura.
Probably due to his mercenary background, Mu Jin’s lover had a well-built physique. Even without seeing his body covered by the black shirt, Mu Jin could imagine the well-defined muscles.
Although he had already been through two fights, including the recent one, he didn’t look too disheveled.
After beating the two small thugs to a pulp, they crawled away, leaving only Mu Jin and Leng Xiao facing each other, creating an awkward atmosphere.
In reality, Leng Xiao himself didn’t understand why he suddenly appeared. After all, he had just been ambushed and was already battered.
However, when he concealed himself in the corner and saw the two small thugs harassing the young man, he couldn’t resist intervening.
He was not someone who liked to meddle in others’ affairs, but for some reason, he found these two thugs particularly annoying.
Especially when he saw one of them leering at the young man with such lecherous eyes, Leng Xiao couldn’t help but feel a surge of hostility, wishing to crush that guy’s bones.
Merely breaking the guy’s fingers was not enough. If he didn’t want to get entangled further, Leng Xiao had a hundred ways to torment him.
Now that the situation was resolved, and the young man in front of him was safe, Leng Xiao decided to leave.
However, as soon as he took a few steps, someone unexpectedly grabbed his clothes.
Turning around, he was met with a pair of watery cat-like eyes. The other person’s eyes were round and bright, looking exceptionally clear, unlike anyone he had encountered before.
Leng Xiao grew up in the mercenary group, executing missions from a very young age. Most of the time, he faced the dangers of life and death.
The eyes of his mission targets often carried undeniable desires. Colleagues in his profession, even if they could reconcile with life and death, were inevitably tainted by the killings.
However, the eyes of the young man before him were as pure and innocent as a child’s, leaving Leng Xiao momentarily stunned. From the bottom of his heart, he marveled that these were the most beautiful eyes he had ever seen in his life.
Unconsciously reaching out to touch the young man’s eyebrow and eye, he quickly withdrew his hand upon realizing what he was doing.
Furrowing his brows, the man felt annoyed with himself for being distracted by a stranger, especially a young one.
So, he grabbed Mu Jin’s hand to make him let go. Unexpectedly, at the moment their skin touched, both of them felt a slight shiver.
The electrifying sensation made Leng Xiao’s heart flutter for a moment. The young man’s hand was fair and smooth, untouched by the hardships of life. It was a pair of hands that hadn’t experienced storms, unlike his own, marked with scars and calluses from weapons and firearms.
They were not from the same world.
Suppressing the inexplicable sourness that surged in his heart, the man exerted some force to pry Mu Jin’s hand off. In a somewhat harsh tone, he said, “You can go now.”
However, as soon as he left, the other party hurriedly caught up. This time, instead of grabbing his clothes, the young man directly held onto his hand.
Raising an eyebrow, Leng Xiao turned around with some confusion. He found Mu Jin persistently holding onto him, expressionless, silent, and unwilling to let go. The stubbornness in his eyes seemed to declare that he had no intention of complying.
This situation was something Leng Xiao had never encountered before. Usually, even if he did nothing, no one would approach him so easily. The boldness of this little guy was astonishing.
If it were someone else, perhaps he could easily break free. But for some reason, facing this young man, he hesitated.
Sensing that something was terribly wrong with himself, Leng Xiao’s face darkened. He glared at Mu Jin fiercely, attempting to instill fear.
But unexpectedly, instead of showing any trace of fear, the other person held onto his hand even tighter.
In fact, Mu Jin genuinely didn’t want to let go now. He missed this man tremendously, so much that he instinctively yearned to be close to him.
Although he had spent several decades happily with Mo Yi in his previous life, it was simply not enough for Mu Jin.
After returning to the system space, Mu Jin, without a moment’s rest, relentlessly chased after the other’s footsteps, entering this brand-new world.
In Mu Jin’s heart, he was unwilling to be separated from his lover, even if it was for a second.
Although for Mu Jin, in reality, this separation had not exceeded a day, it was only when he finally saw this person that he managed to barely suppress the longing in his heart.
Staring at the man before him, Mu Jin actually wanted to ask him why he wanted to push him away, why he insisted on bearing all this alone.
However, he knew that asking now would be futile. Because the person in front of him was Leng Xiao, who had no memories of his past life.
Feeling that his lover had almost given all his energy to him, Mu Jin couldn’t help but shed tears. Surprisingly, the energy and luck on his lover Leng Xiao’s body were even more pitiful than Mo Yi from his past life.
Because he knew that the man’s generosity with his energy would undoubtedly cause damage to his soul.
Before coming to this world, even 003 predicted that his lover’s body might be affected and show signs of injury due to the excessive energy transfer.
Fortunately, Leng Xiao’s body seemed fine on the surface. However, there must be underlying trauma. So, if it wasn’t a physical issue, could it be that his lover was facing some mental problem?
Blinking back tears, exerting all his strength to prevent his tears from falling, Mu Jin struggled to prevent his own character from collapsing.
However, his appearance startled Leng Xiao, who had just tried to intimidate him with a fierce demeanor.
Originally, Leng Xiao thought that Mu Jin was just indifferent to him, but unexpectedly, the young man seemed to be saddened by something he had just thought of, even though he maintained a blank expression.
Seeing the young man’s eyes becoming increasingly moist despite his seemingly expressionless face, a strange pain welled up in the man’s heart, leaving him at a loss.
He was fine just a moment ago; why was he suddenly about to cry?
Why cry? Was it because he looked terrifying just now and scared the person into tears?
Thinking of this, Leng Xiao felt a sense of embarrassment for the first time.
Furrowing his brows, suppressing the discomfort in his heart, he couldn’t be sure that those who ambushed him were not still nearby.
Danger still surrounded him, and it was impossible to take this little guy with him. Even considering the safety of the young man, the man decided to leave.
Having spent a lifetime together, Mu Jin naturally understood the man’s little habits. Seeing Leng Xiao in this state, he knew that the man had genuinely made up his mind to leave. So, he directly grabbed onto the man’s arm and refused to let go.
Their proximity was not great to begin with, and now, with Mu Jin clinging to him, he immediately caught a whiff of the bloody scent emanating from Leng Xiao. Only then did Mu Jin realize that his lover was still injured.
Seeing that they had tangled with each other for a short while, a few drops of scattered blood had already dripped onto the ground. Mu Jin worried excessively and immediately wanted to check his lover’s injuries.
Caught off guard by the sudden movement, Leng Xiao did not expect the young man to directly reach out to pull at his clothes.
This sudden enthusiasm left Leng Xiao unsure how to respond. He didn’t know what the other person wanted to do, and he was aware of the numerous wounds on his body. He didn’t want to scare the little guy in front of him.
Leng Xiao wanted to stop Mu Jin, but Mu Jin was too persistent.
Seeing the other party persistently trying to pull at his collar, the man, for some reason, got hot-headed and pressed Mu Jin against the wall, seizing his wrist to stop his actions.
However, he failed to notice that this posture, seemingly unintentional, carried an inexplicable ambiguity.
This was the first time being held so tightly by his lover in this little world. The man’s strong aura enveloped him, making Mu Jin instinctively feel comfortable.
However, Mu Jin had no romantic thoughts at all; his entire being was focused on worrying about his lover’s injuries.
Before they could continue anything, they heard a stern voice from not far away.
A woman’s voice rang out with visible anger, shouting loudly, “What are you doing? Let go of my brother!”
Mu Jin turned his head and indeed saw the female lead, Mu Yaqin, looking at them anxiously.
It was only at this moment that he realized that their current posture was too easily misunderstood. Clearly, the female lead had completely misunderstood, seemingly convinced that Leng Xiao intended to do something to him.
A few minutes ago, after Mu Yaqin had taken the files and hastily returned to the car, she found out that her brother was missing and immediately started searching for him in a panic.
It wasn’t until she heard the commotion in the alley that she rushed over, but she didn’t expect to see this scene.
Seeing the towering man suppressing her little brother, Mu Yaqin felt frightened inside but forced herself to calm down.
She took two steps forward and said to Leng Xiao, “Let him go, and I’ll give you money.”
After speaking, the female lead threw her purse forward and picked up her phone, trying to calmly say, “There’s money in the bag; take it and leave. Otherwise, I’ll press the emergency alarm button now! I’ve set my phone to default settings, and if I press it, the police will quickly find this place based on the location. You’re just after money; you wouldn’t want to hurt someone and end up in jail!”
Leng Xiao frowned at her words, regretting that he was so busy dealing with the person in his arms that he hadn’t noticed the footsteps of a woman nearby. Fortunately, the newcomer didn’t pose a threat.
With a sigh of relief, he let go of Mu Jin’s hand, thinking that the young man’s family had arrived, and now he could finally leave.
He didn’t pay attention to the purse on the ground and stood up directly. However, Mu Jin, on the side, was not willing to let the man go easily and immediately grabbed onto his arm.
Seeing her little brother voluntarily reaching out to pull that man, Mu Yaqin was instantly astonished.
