After being bound by the system, Bai Yueguang and I reunited

Chapter 458 Flowers Before Dawn

"Go to bed soon." After giving the last warning, Zhao Wenyu sat on the wall and jumped down with a stiff body.

A bang was heard outside the wall, mixed with someone's suppressed breath.

Xiaoyao laughed out loud, [Hahaha, you can't climb over the wall but you still try to do it! ]

Chaoge couldn't help but curl her lips.

[Do you want to take a rest, host? 】

Chaoge shook his head and said, "Let's go out for a walk."

She quickly returned to her room and rummaged through the drawers for a long time, but only found cheongsams and jacket skirts, and no clothes that were convenient for moving around in.

Fortunately, there were a few emergency clothes stored in the space.

Chaoge found a solid-colored shirt and windbreaker, but couldn't find any trousers suitable for this era, so she had to reluctantly pick up a long skirt to wear.

After packing up, Chaoge also came to the wall. Unlike Zhao Wenyu who needed to use a ladder, Chaoge was extremely quick and agile. He supported himself on the wall with both hands and jumped out.

Walking out of the alley, a long street appears before your eyes.

The lanterns hanging under the eaves emitted a dim light, barely illuminating a small section of the road in front of the door.

The rickshaw pullers who had no customers huddled in the corner, staring at the brightly lit and bustling dance hall.

The ragged beggar hid in the corner, his body stiff, his cloudy eyes swaying with the passers-by.

Seeing Chaoge, who was dressed neatly, walking by, he quickly shrank his body further inward, for fear of touching the corner of the nobleman's clothes.

[His legs were broken.]

Glancing at the disheveled beggar, Xiao Yao said in a complicated tone.

Chaoge paused.

The beggar's eyes were filled with panic. He curled up with his elbows on the ground, wishing he could stuff his entire body into the wall.

Instead of approaching to scare her, Chaoge simply took out two steamed buns wrapped in oil paper and gently placed them on the ground.

After Chaoge walked away, the beggar stretched out his arms and wolfed down the steamed bun into his mouth along with the oil paper.

Xiaoyao glanced at Chaoge's expression and found that the current host had changed a lot compared to before.

At first she seemed to be smiling, but there were cold spikes all over her body, and some of her actions were even slightly crazy.

But now, the aura around her has become much softer.

It’s like... warm sunlight that’s not blinding but makes people feel comfortable.

【Host! 】Xiaoyao shouted.

Chaoge hummed, "What's wrong?"

[I like you so much! I like you more and more! ]

Hearing its sudden confession, Chaoge's slightly heavy mood melted a little.

She smiled and said, "You are suddenly so emotional. What happened?"

Xiaoyao shook his head, [Nothing, I just like you! ]

Chaoge【I like Xiaoyao, too.】

After walking for nearly another hour, Chaoge looked at the sky and decided to go back.

Suddenly, a scream was heard that was halfway through being suppressed, and Chaoge immediately looked over in the direction of the sound.

Just at the corner of the alley not far ahead, two shit-yellow figures were huddled together, emitting bursts of disgusting laughter.

From the gap blocked by their bodies, Chaoge saw a conspicuous section of the navy blue skirt.

Beneath the laughter, there was also a terrified female voice begging.

In addition to Chaoge, there were other people around who had not rested and discovered the situation here.

The owner of the grocery store at the entrance of the alley immediately retracted his head and quietly closed the wooden window, leaving only a gap. His face was pale, and he looked out occasionally, then reluctantly looked away, muttering something silently.

On the second floor of the hotel nearby, a man in a suit and tie opened the window with a frown on his face. He was very dissatisfied with the noise that woke him up from his sweet dream. He was about to spit out a curse, but after noticing the conspicuous outfit, he swallowed it back and just glanced at her indifferently, as if what happened downstairs was just an insignificant farce.

Chaoge quickened his pace, a faint light flickered in his palm, and the long whip was looming.

But there was someone faster than her.

A woman wearing a cheongsam and with a charming voice rushed straight into the dangerous encirclement.

"Hey, gentlemen, why are you standing here?" She had a perfect professional smile on her face, and she grabbed the hands of the two young men in front of her with her arms and pulled them off the girl.

"The Paramount is in front, a place for entertainment and fun. Would you like to go and sit for a while?"

She seemed not to feel the tense atmosphere and pushed the girl behind her without leaving a trace.

This action made the two soldiers stunned for a moment, but they quickly reacted and put their hands on her arms and cheeks with a smile.

Hongyu tightened her fingers but remained expressionless, allowing the hand that clearly carried humiliation to wander around.

"How can I let you two stand in this shabby and dirty place? Today, I will treat you two to a drink at the Paramount. Please do me a favor!"

One of them was still reluctant to leave the girl behind Hongyu, and kept looking over there, but was blocked by Hongyu.

She coaxed the two soldiers with sweet words and a sweet smile, which made them smile happily. After they gave up their thoughts about the girl, she surrounded them and walked out.

Before leaving, Hongyu glanced back at the girl inconspicuously, signaling her to leave quickly with her eyes, and then led her away.

After she was safe, the girl bit the back of her hand and sobbed softly.

The grocery store owner half-opened the window and urged in a low voice, "Hurry up! Run faster!"

After saying a few words, he slammed the window shut.

The girl stood up by holding on to the wall. After taking two steps, she saw a familiar figure rushing towards her.

She could no longer bear her fear and helplessness, so she threw herself into the arms of the man who came in and burst into tears.

"Sister, why did you come just now? I'm so scared!"

Bai Jinrong first confirmed that his sister was not injured, then he breathed a sigh of relief and scolded her coldly, "Running out in the middle of the night, I thought you were very brave, but now you are afraid?"

Her sister leaned in her arms and sobbed, her whole body trembling with panic.

Bai Jinrong was angry but couldn't help but worry, "Okay, okay, stop crying. Tell me, what happened?"

My sister said in a trembling voice that her mother had a sudden onset of an old illness and the family had run out of medicine, so she ran out in a hurry.

"It was Ruby from Paramount who saved me, sister."

Hearing the name Hongyu, Bai Jinrong was dazed for a moment, then rolled his eyes and cursed in a low voice, "That worthless guy, he really wasted many years of studying and ended up working in a dance hall!"

After saying this, Bai Jinrong pulled his sister to go home, "Okay, did you get the medicine? Go home first, I will take care of the rest."

The girl hung her head and looked listless. Only when she heard the question did she raise the medicine bag in her hand to indicate that she had received the medicine.

The two sisters walked home, being wary of each other, but they didn't notice that there was someone following them.

Chaoge watched the two of them return home safely, then turned around and went to Paramount.

She climbed up the outer wall like a gecko and flipped into the room from the small European-style balcony.

There's no one here.

She quietly unlocked the door, and the boiling sound became more obvious.
