Chapter 20 Heartbeat

Suddenly, the door of the room was pushed open and hit the wall with a loud bang.

"What are you doing?"

The familiar voice made Aixi burst into tears.

It was Mu Jingpei.

He was here.

One of the robbers recognized Mu Jingpei and said, "It's the one with her!"

Then, they ignored Aixi and walked toward Mu Jingpei.

Aixi sat up, still in shock.

There was no light on in the room. She wiped away her tears, and her vision gradually became clear. She saw Mu Jingpei standing in the light in the corridor, which was the only bright place in the room.

He was like the first ray of light that a blind person saw, like the clear water seen by people walking in the desert. He appeared just in time.

"Who wanted to hit her just now?" Against the light, they couldn't see clearly Mu Jingpei's expression. His voice sounded dangerous and cold.

The two robbers had an advantage in numbers, so they were not afraid.

One of them said unscrupulously, "Does it matter who it is? I advise you to be smart and hand over the money."

Then, he let out a miserable scream.

Mu Jingpei began to fight with them.

Aixi couldn't see clearly in the darkness. She could only hear the muffled sounds of fists hitting flesh and screams.

Mu Jingpei distracted to confirm the position of Aixi and said, "Don't look at the pictures of fighting." Probably because he was fighting with someone, his voice sounded fierce which was not as same as usual, but with a little rascally smile.

Aixi sobbed, "I'm already 18 years old. I'm not a child!"

Although in this case, Mu Jingpei was still amused by her crying and serious tone.

She could still argue with him that meant she was fine.

He was relieved.

Aixi was already on tenterhooks. When she heard his laughter, her heart skipped a beat.

"Can you stop talking at this time?" What if he got hurt!

Her voice was so soft that it couldn't remind him at all.

Mu Jingpei punched the person in front of him and took the time to reply, "Aren't you talking with me?"

Aixi choked with sobs and stopped talking.

Mu Jingpei could beat these two people.

Seeing that they couldn't defeat him, they turned around and ran away.

He chased after them.

However, the two of them ran too fast. When Mu Jingpei ran downstairs, they disappeared. Only left the open door of the small hotel. There was no one at the front desk, and the light was dim.

They were unfamiliar with the place and it was dark outside, so it was impossible to find them. Thinking that Aixi was still alone in the room, Mu Jingpei turned around and went back.

Several people in the hotel were alarmed by the sound and went out of the room. They didn't know what had happened.

It was still dark in Aixi's room.

Mu Jingpei turned on the light at the door and saw Aixi sitting at the head of the bed with her arms around her legs, curling up. Her hair was a little messy, her eyes were red, and there were finger marks on her face, which was shocking.

Mu Jingpei frowned, and his anger was even stronger than before. He felt that he had been too gentle with those two people.

Afraid of scaring the little girl again, he restrained his emotions and walked over.

He came to her bed and sat down. He reached out to lift a strand of hair from her ear. Just as he was about to comfort her, Aixi suddenly threw herself into his arms and cried with her arms around his neck.

"Thank God, you're here, Mu Jingpei."

"I knew you would come to save me."

"Can you be serious when you fight? Don't talk!"

The little girl was obviously frightened. Every time she was scared, she would become a chatterbox.

Mu Jingpei felt like a lamb in his arms.

He curled his lips, touched her head, and comforted her in a soft voice, "It's okay with me here. Are you hurt?"

Aixi cried and shook her head. Her tears were all rubbing against his clothes.

Mu Jingpei allowed her to rub against him.

He didn't sleep much tonight because he was too dissatisfied with the environment of the small hotel. He felt that the snow-white bed was not as clean as that in a villager's house. He didn't want to touch the bed at all.

In the middle of the night, he vaguely heard someone in the corridor outside, but he didn't think much about it until he heard the sound of something smashing in Aixi's room. He felt that something was wrong and got up worriedly, only to see that the door of her room was half-closed.

Fortunately, he came to take a look with concern.

Otherwise, he didn't know what the little girl would experience.

Someone called the police for them.

The police arrived very quickly.

There was no surveillance camera in the small hotel, so they couldn't see the video. The middle-aged woman at the front desk went to bed before midnight, and the two robbers came in from the gate.

The policeman checked the door of the room again and found traces of being hooked up.

From the beginning to the end, Aixi had been sitting at the head of the bed and quietly watching the conversation between Mu Jingpei and the police.

The moment he kicked the door open and came in to save her, there was the light of the corridor behind him, just like her sun.

She didn't expect an elegant and undisciplined person like him to be so good at fighting. Even though she could only see the outline of his body but not his face, she still felt that he was particularly handsome at that time, which made her heart beat faster.

Mu Jingpei occasionally glanced at Aixi while taking notes. When their eyes met, he gave her a comforting look.

Aixi smiled in response.

The police showed a few photos to Mu Jingpei. Mu Jingpei recognized one of them as a robber.

The police said that these people were in a gang, and everyone had a criminal record. Recently, they were wandering in several nearby towns, and the police were arresting them.

Looking at the photo, Mu Jingpei suddenly remembered that he had seen the robber at the supermarket with Aixi. They must have been targeted at that time.

After the police left, Mu Jingpei turned around and saw Aixi looked worried.

Everything was fine just now.

"What's wrong? Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?" he asked.

Aixi shook her head and she asked with concern; "How's your arm?"

Mu Jingpei moved his left arm and said, "It's not a big deal. In fact, I'm almost recovered."

Aixi was relieved.

Mu Jingpei looked at the time. It was almost four o'clock in the morning.

"It's too late. Just go to sleep."

Seeing that Aixi didn't seem to want to sleep, he dragged the chair in the room to a place not far from the bed, sat down, and said, "Don't be afraid. I'll look at you."

Aixi hesitated for a moment, but in the end, she nodded and got into the quilt, leaving only her neck and head outside.

Seeing that she had wrapped herself tightly, Mu Jingpei knew what she had been hesitating about just now.

He found it funny and deliberately glanced at her like a hooligan.

Aixi felt her heart beat fast for his glance.

She moved, grabbed the corner of the quilt, and covered her neck. Then she covered her discomfort with a serious tone. "What are you looking at!"

Mu Jingpei stopped teasing her. "Well, old-fashioned girl, I am not looking at you. Go to sleep."

Hearing his words, Aixi blushed and closed her eyes angrily.

What did he mean?

She clearly had a chest!
