Yan Song squinted his eyes and thought for a mont, "That’s Huale Plaza on Jinshui Road. Go find a store to warm up, I’ll be there soon."
Yun Ya was stunned, about to say there was no need when the other party had already hung up quickly.
Yun Ya massaged her forehead with a headache, "Stop the car."
Du Shan gradually pulled the car to the side of the road.
"Brother Du, you can go back first. I’m waiting for a friend," she said, getting out of the car with her bag.
Du Shan didn’t ask any questions and got out of the car, "It’s not safe here at night. I’ll wait until Miss’s friend arrives before I leave."
Yun Ya nodded, and the two headed to the buffalo statue, one in front of the other.
There was not a person on the square, but the colorful lights around it illuminated the place beautifully.
Two or three drunk youths passed by, and seeing Yun Ya, a young girl, approached with a laugh, attempting to tease her. They hadn’t even touched the hem of Yun Ya’s clothes when suddenly soone grabbed their wrists and snapped them.
Du Shan, like a fiend, beat up the three young n until their noses were bloody, and their faces swollen. They scampered away in utter humiliation.
Yun Ya thought to herself how lucky it was that Brother Du had followed her; otherwise, it would have been really troubleso.
However, observing Brother Du’s neat and disciplined fighting technique, like soone who had undergone systematic training, she couldn’t help but ask, "What did Brother Du do before?"
Du Shan glanced at Yun Ya, "I co from a special forces background. I applied for discharge after a severe injury during a mission. Miss knows that for people like us, it is difficult to find jobs after leaving the service. Luckily, I t Brother Chang, who took in and gave a al to eat."
Ex-special forces?
Yun Ya didn’t understand much but realized that such people were not easily employed; it seed that he and Uncle Chang had so connection. She guessed that Uncle Chang might also have a military background.
Du Shan’s tone was firm, "Miss, rest assured, I will definitely protect you in the future."
There was no exaggerated oath, just a simple statent that showed his utmost resolve.
Yun Ya smiled.
It wasn’t long before she saw the tall figure of a young man quickly approaching from the dark, his handso face flickering in and out of the night lights, gradually coming into Yun Ya’s view.
"Brother Yan~." She jumped up excitedly and waved her hands.
The girl, wearing a blue trench coat with a tall and slender figure, looked like a slowly blossoming blue lotus against the night, her beautiful face beaming with a sweet, brilliant smile, shining in the darkness.
Yan Song’s eyes brightened, and he ran towards her swiftly.
He took off his coat and draped it over Yun Ya, "Silly girl, didn’t you know to wait inside the store? It’s so cold outside. What if you catch a cold?"
He grabbed Yun Ya’s hand, which felt like ice, and gave her a glare. His broad, warm palm enveloped her small hand, gently rubbing it.
Brother Yan’s hands were always as warm as a stove. Yun Ya looked up and sweetly smiled, "It’s not cold at all."
Yan Song pinched her chilly, reddened nose, "It’s already frozen red, and you’re still saying it’s not cold."
Du Shan laughed and discreetly turned to leave.
"Have you had dinner yet?"
Yun Ya was about to say she had when her stomach betrayed her with a rumble; her face couldn’t help but flush with embarrassnt.
She had skipped lunch and dinner. If Brother Yan hadn’t ntioned it, she would have forgotten; when hunger goes beyond a certain point, one doesn’t even feel it anymore.
Yan Song put his arm around her shoulder and entered a convenience store open twenty-four hours.
He told Yun Ya to wait in the seating area, then he turned and went into the shopping area.
Two minutes later, Yan Song returned with a milk tea in one hand and so oden in front of Yun Ya.
"Eat this first, I’ll go make you a cup of milk tea."
After unwrapping the milk tea package and tearing open the small packet, he stood up to pour a full cup from the hot water station.
Yun Ya rested her cheek on her palm, watching his busy figure, and couldn’t help but smile, feeling the sweetest warmth fill her heart.
The cashier girl couldn’t help but envy Yun Ya, "Your boyfriend is not only super handso but also so considerate. You’re really lucky."
Boyfriend, huh?
Yun Ya’s eyes sparkled, the smile on her lips deepening. She turned to the cashier girl and said with a smile, "Yes, he’s my boyfriend. We’re childhood sweethearts who grew up together."
"Wow, childhood sweethearts, that’s so romantic." The cashier girl envied them without jealousy or hate.
This girl was also stunningly beautiful; the two of them together seed like a match made in heaven, so perfect that it rendered jealousy powerless.
"What are you talking about?" Yan Song ca over with the milk tea.
"We’re praising how handso Brother Yan is." Yun Ya’s eyes crinkled into a beaming smile.
Yan Song ruffled her hair and placed the milk tea in front of her, "Drink a little, just to warm your stomach."
The convenience store’s seating was high stools facing a floor-to-ceiling window, offering a view of the plaza with just a glance up.
