"Love is deep, drink it all in one gulp." Mu Xiaonuan didn't know who was pinching her nose and pouring a drink down her throat. It was her first time drinking, and she was choked until her throat hurt, and her body was fiery hot. She feebly shook her head, intending to head to the bathroom to wash her face.
Her cousin, Mu Xiaowei, promptly asked her, "The graduation party isn't over yet! Where are you going?"
"I'm going to wash my face, Sis. You should drink less."
Seeing that Mu Xiaonuan was staggering a bit while walking, Mu Xiaowei hurriedly stopped her, "This is the key card for the room upstairs, especially for resting, 1606."
Mu Xiaonuan swayed as she headed out. She felt as if a flame was burning inside her body and everything in front of her eyes was overlapping.
On the sixteenth floor in the hallway.
"Babe, do you need my help?"
A man stood in front of her, gazing lasciviously at her.
"Get lost, where did this stinking hooligan come from?"
Mu Xiaonuan attempted to hit the man standing in front of her, but she didn't have any strength left, rather she felt limp.
"Hahaha, babe, are you craving for a man now? Come on, big brother will satisfy you."
Mu Xiaonuan was not a three-year-old child, how could she go with him?
"Move, I don't know you."
The man chuckled evilly, courageously groping her body. Mu Xiaonuan tried to resist but she had no strength at all, all she could do was scream, "Help! Is anyone there? Help... ugh... ugh..."
The man covered her mouth.
Mu Xiaonuan bit the hand of the man attacking her.
With a smack, a burning pain spread across her cheek.
"You must have eaten the heart of a bear and the gall of a leopard to dare bite me," the man sneered.
He gripped Mu Xiaonuan's hair forcefully, pushing her to the ground.
"You wench! You refuse an offer, now you'll pay the price. Since you're so reckless, I will have you right here."
The man started to rip at her clothes.
"You have quite the gall, stirring up trouble in Huating."
A chilly voice echoed overhead and a swift kick landed in the man's chest. He rolled several steps away, retching out a mouthful of blood.
"Who are you? How dare you interfere!"
"I have no patience for you, now leave!"
The man looked up incredulously, but when he saw the face of his interrupter...
"You...you're...He...He Zi...Yue...the Smiling Yama..."
Stammering, he scrambled to his feet and ran away.
Mu Xiaonuan, using all her strength, managed to open her eyes. A young man was looking down at her from above. His defined and angular face exuded a certain cold beauty. Beneath his thick brows were dark, deep-set eyes that sparkled enticingly. His prominent nose was unforgettable and his light red lips hinted at his nobility and elegance.
His raven black hair was shiny with dew; he wore a loose white robe, which opened in the front revealing a bronze colored chest that led one's imagination astray.
Mu Xiaonuan looked at the man in front of her with blurred eyes, murmuring, "Save me, please, save me..."
He Zi Yue frowned. Save her? How should he save her? Her situation didn’t exactly seem as simple as just being drunk.
With a helpless rub of his temple, he realized leaving someone to die was not his style.
Looking at the small figure lying on the ground, He Zi Yue's eyes slightly narrowed and a mysterious smile appeared on his face. He bent down and picked up Mu Xiaonuan.
Instinctively, Mu Xiaonuan reached out, searching for something to abate the heat enveloping her body, her hands patting around on He Zi Yue's body.
