Chapter 1134: Chapter 655: Crazy Night

Because the little girl was crying here, the people around cast their glances over.

They whispered among themselves.

"What on earth happened? Why has this little girl been crying here all along?"

"Are these four men bullying a little girl?"

"Oh my, that’s just too much!"

"No, I’ve got to go up there and seek justice for this little girl."

"Hold on, don’t be so impulsive, we still don’t know what’s going on. Let’s figure it out first."

"What is there to figure out? Didn’t you see the little girl crying? Would she cry for no reason? Something must have happened, and with these four men around, if it’s not their fault, whose fault would it be?"

Having said that, a girl wanted to step forward to help.

But her boyfriend stopped her.

The girl’s brows furrowed instantly, "Let me go at once. I can’t stand by and do nothing. If I can’t hold up, what difference is there between me and some abuser? You can choose not to save me, and I won’t force you."

"After all, everyone has their own choices, but this is mine, and I hope you can respect that. I’m not asking you to do the same as I do."

"All I ask is that you respect me. That’s the most basic thing about being human. I hope you can understand that principle and not impose your thoughts on me."

Her boyfriend’s face suddenly turned sour upon hearing this.

He kept silent for a moment, then finally explained, "Didn’t you see those four men there? All four look pretty strong. Can you take on these four men? Not to mention you, even I can’t take them on. Besides, we don’t know what happened. Rushing in now would be really reckless."

"If you truly want to help, we need to see what happened and then call the police. We shouldn’t rush into anything. Moreover, you’re my girlfriend. How can I let you go into battle alone? I have to stop you."

"I’m also afraid you’ll get hurt. I know you’re very unhappy with what I’m doing, but even if you’re displeased, I’ll still act this way. Besides, I’ve promised your parents that I’ll protect you well, and I won’t let you put yourself in danger."

Qin Yuan’s face showed an extremely surprised expression upon hearing this.

He hadn’t expected the couple to argue over this.

Actually, he thought neither of them was in the wrong.

Their standpoints were simply different.

The girl wanted to protect the little girl.

But her boyfriend wanted to protect his girlfriend.

Upon hearing this, the girl fell silent, as if persuaded.

Seeing the girl’s silence, her boyfriend lifted her head and rubbed it gently, then said in a soft voice, "I know you really want to help this little girl right now, and my heart is with you, but there are many factors I need to consider. I can’t just act on impulse."

"Our positions are different. You want to protect the little girl, but I want to protect you. I can’t just watch you fight alone, let alone allow you to be bullied."

"Even if I went up to help, I couldn’t guarantee you’d be unscathed. That’s what I considered, and why I stopped you. I hope you’re not angry with me."

Upon hearing this, the girl’s eyes instantly reddened, and she quickly said, "I’m so sorry, I was impulsive just now."

"You’re actually very kind-hearted; it’s your instinctive reaction, nothing to be sorry for. It’s the purest part of you, and you should keep it. But I will also always protect you," he said earnestly.

She truly felt she had found the right person.

They looked at each other and smiled.

Seeing this scene, Qin Yuan couldn’t help but raise the corners of his mouth.

He hadn’t expected to witness such a touching moment just by coming out.

It was really wonderful.

But it wasn’t a solution for the little girl to keep crying here.

They needed to persuade her to stop quickly.

They couldn’t let the little girl keep crying.

If the little girl kept crying, it would draw more people and lead to more misunderstandings.

Just then, Jiang Qi immediately said, "Actually, you all misunderstood. We’re not bullying this little girl. She’s crying here because she’s been drinking."

"We didn’t want her to drink here, but she’s been upset, so she lost control a bit. Sorry for disturbing you all."

As he spoke, Jiang Qi’s face also showed a very apologetic expression.

Hearing this, the surrounding people all showed a look of sudden realization.

"So that’s what happened."

"We thought you were really bullying her."

"As long as it’s not bullying, it’s fine."

"We were really scared that you four big men were bullying a little girl, and we were too afraid to help."

"Yeah, we were really scared."

"Now that it’s not the case, we can rest easy."

"Let’s mind our own business then."

Having said this, they went about their business.

No longer onlookers.

They no longer focused their gaze on them.

Qin Yuan couldn’t help but give a thumbs up, "Your way of handling things is really brilliant; you’re truly worthy of being a researcher."
