Momo lowered her head: "I’m sorry, I got you involved."

Lu Yinxing held Momo’s hand: "Why would you say that? Don’t worry, I will definitely help you resolve this. I won’t let this group bully you again."

Although Lu Yinxing hadn’t thought of a solution yet.

But her resolve was firm.

Now that she was aware, she couldn’t just sit idly by.

Momo said gratefully: "Thank you, but don’t antagonize them because of me. They’re terrifying, I’ll just avoid them from afar. Anyway, I’ve dropped out, they won’t find me."

Lu Yinxing knew Momo had dropped out.

And it was a voluntary withdrawal.

In Lu Yinxing’s view, Momo was a victim of school bullying.

Even if someone needed to drop out, it shouldn’t be the victim.

Lu Yinxing said: "Senior Ah Du and I will definitely help you, don’t worry just yet."

Lu Yinxing heard several girls shouting at the entrance of the residential area, seemingly stopped by security.

Momo looked back fearfully; it was the same group catching up.

Lu Yinxing said: "Let me take you to my brother’s place to rest first. When they leave, I’ll take you back."

Momo nodded.

Lu Yinxing led Momo into the apartment.

Xia Ye was at home.

When the door opened, Xia Ye saw there was another person behind Lu Yinxing and frowned.

Lu Yinxing understood Xia Ye well.

Xia Ye disliked interacting with strangers.

Moreover, a private place like the apartment, he especially didn’t like others coming over.

Lu Yinxing understood Xia Ye’s temperament and quickly explained: "This is my friend. We ran into a bit of trouble, brother, please just help us for a while."

Lu Yinxing looked at Xia Ye with pleading eyes.

Xia Ye let out a barely audible sigh.

Yet his expression softened.

Xia Ye opened the door, "Come in then."

Lu Yinxing led Momo into the house.

Momo kept her head down.

After entering, Xia Ye went out of his way to pour them both a glass of water.

When Xia Ye handed the glass to Momo.

Momo looked up at Xia Ye, eyes full of amazement.

But quickly, she timidly took the glass, saying: "Thank you."

Xia Ye said: "Make yourselves at home, I’ll head upstairs first."

The apartment is a loft.

Xia Ye went up the stairs.

Below is the living room and dining room.

Small but well-equipped.

Lu Yinxing said: "Are you hungry? I noticed you didn’t eat much just now."

Momo quickly shook her head: "I’m already full, thank you."

Lu Yinxing said: "Do you want to call your mom? She might worry since you’ve been away for so long."

Momo said: "I’ve already sent a message, saying I’ll be back shortly."

Lu Yinxing nodded again.

Momo said: "Don’t worry about me, I’ll leave in half an hour."

Lu Yinxing noticed Momo seemed frightened by today’s events, appearing lost.

Just then, Ah Du called Lu Yinxing.

Lu Yinxing went to the small outdoor balcony to take the call.

Ah Du was simply asking how the interview was going.

Lu Yinxing recounted the recent ordeal to Ah Du.

Ah Du was also filled with righteous indignation. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

Ah Du said: "Where are you? I’ll come over immediately."

Lu Yinxing knew allowing Momo inside was already a big concession for Xia Ye, having another stranger over.

Lu Yinxing quickly said: "It’s okay, the situation is temporarily resolved. I’ll take Momo home later."
