Chapter 45: Night Attack

Afterwards, the admissions office teacher left, and Su Mengli sighed, “We only have one day off…”

Ye Xuan smiled, “Yeah, just one day. It’s too short. What can we do?”

Su Mengli suddenly said, “Why don’t we go watch a movie together?”

Ye Xuan couldn’t be happier. He immediately said, “Sure, I’ll book the tickets now!”

After a moment, the tickets were booked. Ye Xuan said, “The show starts at 7 o’clock in the evening. Let’s go together.”

Su Mengli nodded happily.

At this moment, Ye Xuan thought of the tiger with wings. If it weren’t for Ye Xuan’s interference, after Su Mengli’s amazing talent was revealed, she would have been sought after by major universities. Besides the amazing rewards she received, she also received another reward, which was the pet flying tiger.

This was her own suggestion, and the universities agreed. The flying tiger was originally a controllable mutated beast that could be raised by awakened individuals.

And with Su Mengli’s high talent, the relevant departments naturally gave face to the universities.

But in this life, Su Mengli had the care of the Ye family, so she wasn’t as lonely as in her previous life.

She also wouldn’t place her emotions on a tiger that looked like the cat she had raised when she was young.

Moreover, she had made a condition herself, which was to secure S-class treatment for Ye Xuan, which was already quite excessive. She naturally wouldn’t bring up the flying tiger again.

Ye Xuan also didn’t have such thoughts. The flying tiger was too weak and would only hold Su Mengli back as her pet.

In the future, he would help her tame a more powerful battle pet, not only beautiful and eye-catching, but also with strong combat capabilities. Only such a battle pet would be worthy of Mengli.

At around six o’clock, Ye Xuan and Su Mengli arrived at the movie theater. Ye Xuan chose a recently well-reviewed youth film.

The overall plot was decent, but a bit dragging and deliberately sentimental.

Ye Xuan felt it was average, but girls were easily moved by this kind of story. Su Mengli watched with teary eyes and secretly wiped her tears a few times.

Ye Xuan’s mind wasn’t on the movie. He was more focused on taking his relationship with Mengli to the next level.

Now that Su Mengli had been tested with amazing talent, she was considered a hot commodity by major universities.

With her talent, she could easily have many things she had never dared to think of before. She no longer needed to rely on the Ye family or Ye Xuan.

On the contrary, as long as she was given time to grow, the Ye family would need to rely on her.

In this situation, Ye Xuan’s proactive approach was not taking advantage of the situation, but seizing the opportunity!

Halfway through the movie, Ye Xuan seized the opportunity and covered Su Mengli’s delicate and beautiful hand with his own, tightly holding it.

He thought Su Mengli would shyly dodge, but this time’s Su Mengli wasn’t as shy and timid.

This was a movie theater with no lights in the audience area, pitch black. As long as they didn’t do anything explicit, no one would notice.

Perhaps it was because of her own talent that gave her some confidence, making her feel that she was not just beautiful, but also worthy of Ye Xuan.

In fact, if Ye Xuan had held her hand two minutes later, Su Mengli might have taken the initiative. She had been looking forward to this scene, so why would she dodge?

After Ye Xuan held Su Mengli’s hand, Su Mengli immediately counterattacked. She spread her fingers and interlocked them with Ye Xuan’s.

Their ten fingers tightly intertwined, and the two looked into each other’s eyes. Su Mengli’s face turned slightly red, but she didn’t dodge. Instead, she boldly stared back at Ye Xuan.

At this moment, Ye Xuan and Su Mengli only had eyes for each other. Their hands held together as if they possessed the whole world.

The immense satisfaction and happiness in their hearts made them feel like they were floating, completely unaware of the passage of time.

Su Mengli was still moved by the movie’s plot, but her thoughts had completely shifted away from the story after holding hands with Ye Xuan.

The so-called youth and melancholy genre lost its touch after holding hands with the boy who had once cared for her with all his heart. Her youth was no longer melancholic, and there were no regrets.

Unconsciously, the movie ended, and Ye Xuan and Su Mengli’s minds were not on the movie, but they felt a bit unsatisfied.

After waiting for a while until most of the others had left, they held hands and walked out of the theater together.

By this time, it was already past nine o’clock. Ye Xuan looked at the stars in the sky and said, “Mengli, let’s walk home together?”

“Okay!” Su Mengli happily agreed.

She didn’t want to go home so quickly now. She just wanted to hold hands with Ye Xuan and walk like this forever.

Moonlight and starlight sprinkled on them, making the figures of the young boy and girl seem dreamlike.

The distance from the movie theater to home wasn’t far, but they didn’t feel the slightest fatigue. On the contrary, they were full of energy.

However, when they passed through a small alley, a figure suddenly blocked their way. The person held a gun in their hand and coldly said, “You two little animals, I finally caught you. Hands on your heads and squat down!”

Ye Xuan and Su Mengli were very familiar with this voice. Ye Xuan’s face changed, and he immediately stepped forward, shielding Su Mengli behind him, and said, “Zhong Hai, is it you, you old dog? What do you want?”

Zhong Hai sneered, “What do I want? You’re Su Mengli’s boyfriend, right? I’m going to do her right in front of you and kill this little slut! Get down on your knees!”

When Zhong Hai said this, Ye Xuan was furious. He said, “You’re looking for death!”

As Ye Xuan spoke, he rushed towards Zhong Hai at lightning speed. Zhong Hai was also a ruthless character. With a bang, he fired his gun.

Ye Xuan had just awakened his abilities, and his abilities were not good at speed, so it wasn’t easy to dodge bullets.

Moreover, if he dodged the bullets, Su Mengli would be the one to get hurt. Ye Xuan naturally couldn’t let his beloved woman get hurt.

He only slightly moved his body, avoiding the vital points. The bullet directly hit his shoulder, causing his body to stagger slightly.

Blood gushed out from his shoulder, and for an ordinary person, being shot would directly render them unable to fight.

However, Ye Xuan’s will was as strong as steel. He only staggered a bit before rushing to Zhong Hai even faster, then slapped the gun in Zhong Hai’s hand.

The gun was directly slapped dozens of meters away by Ye Xuan and fell heavily on the ground, turning into a pile of parts. Zhong Hai’s hand also stung from the impact.

All of this, from Ye Xuan being shot to Zhong Hai’s gun being slapped away, happened in an instant.

Su Mengli, although she had high talent, didn’t have Ye Xuan’s combat awareness and reaction speed. It wasn’t until the fight was over that she reacted and nervously ran to Ye Xuan’s side.

She saw the bullet hole in Ye Xuan’s shoulder and tears flowed like rain. She anxiously said, “Are you okay? Let’s go to the hospital, okay?”
