Chapter 19: Rescue Beauty (Part 2)

  "By the way, what's your name and what do you do? How did you end up owing them so much money?" Wang Mingyu asked after some thought. "My name is Sun Xue, I'm a student at Jinling Girls' Middle School! The debt is because..." Sun Xue replied hesitantly. "Ah...you're from that girls' school? Then I don't need to send you off, right? It's not like it's far or anything?" Wang Mingyu said with a bit of foolishness, mainly because he didn't want to run into Nie Sisi, the jinx!

  "Big Brother Wang, I'm not staying at school, it's nothing, I can go home by myself. By the way, are you really from Central Military Academy?" Sun Xue had calmed down and her voice was no longer shaking. "Yes, why ask that?" Wang Mingyu asked helplessly. "Oh, I thought, when I start working in the future, I'll pay you back!" Sun Xue said with a hint of shyness. Actually, Sun Xue looked quite good, with a melon-seed face and a slender figure, looking very cute, especially in Wang Mingyu's modern eyes, which gave her an unusual flavor, making her look like a particularly pure little girl. However, due to the commotion earlier, her hair was disheveled, her face was probably bruised, and there was mud on it. Now that Sun Xue had regained her composure, she looked like a pretty good-looking girl, giving Wang Mingyu an indescribable feeling, perhaps with a hint of heartache or sympathy.

  "No need, Sun Xue. When we see injustice on the road, we draw our swords to help. As soldiers of the party and country, it's our duty to do so!" Wang Mingyu said sternly, this excuse is quite classic, bringing up both the party and the country.

  "No, no, no, Brother Wang. Although you are a soldier, the money is still yours personally, and I will definitely find a way to return it to you. It's just that I don't have a job now, but after I get one, I'll definitely pay you back!" Sun Xueyi said anxiously, grabbing onto Wang Mingyu's hand. She knew that he might be helping her out of sympathy, but if she didn't repay the money, it would be ungrateful of her.

  "It's okay, it's okay, hehe. The money can be returned anytime, but in the future, you must take good care of yourself, being a girl outside is not easy, do you know? Alright, I'll send you back to school, I also need to go back to school." Wang Mingyu looked at Sun Xue who was a bit excited, then looked at her hand which was holding his own, feeling a bit awkward, and immediately offered to send Sun Xue back to school.

  Sun Xue looked at Wang Mingyu speaking like this, her heart was deeply moved, her eyes were red and staring at Wang Mingyu, while Wang Mingyu's heart ached more and more.

  "Brother Wang, I'm just renting this house!" Sun Xue looked at her own hand grasping Wang Mingyu's and felt a bit embarrassed, then let go after glancing at him.

  "Ah... so that's it? Alright, I'll send you home then, let's go!" Wang Mingyu was still thinking about the softness on Sun Xue's chest when she pounced on him earlier, and those tender little hands. This time, Officer Wang was also quite excited.

  Sun Xue's home was just a short distance from the Girls' Middle School, in a very poor and dilapidated area, a typical slum in Nanjing, where such slums were ubiquitous at that time.

  "Brother Wang, the place I live is really too broken and small, thank you for sending me back today! Go up and have a cup of tea before leaving?" Sun Xue looked at Wang Mingyu with big eyes, she had already developed a good impression of this older brother.

  Wang Mingyu was about to say "no need" but under Sun Xue's "powerful" gaze, he somehow changed his mind and said: "Alright, I'm a bit thirsty too!"

  "Great!" Sun Xue smiled and went to open the door. Maybe it was because Wang Mingyu didn't refuse her request that she was happy, or maybe it was because Wang Mingyu wasn't disgusted with her for living in this kind of place that she felt happy. Anyway, she didn't quite understand, all she knew was that she was very happy right now.

  Wang Mingyu entered Sun Xue's home and first saw a person lying on the dimly lit bed. Before Wang Mingyu could speak, he heard Sun Xue say: "Brother Wang, this is my mother, she's ill and can't get up to greet you. Come, I'll make you some tea!"

  When Sun Xue went to pour tea, her mother said with a bit of helplessness: "Xiao Xue, we have guests at home? Sorry, our place is really messy, it's all Xiao Xue taking care of alone, and she still has to go to school, and earn money for my medical treatment... I'm really holding this child back."

  "Auntie, don't say that, you have a good daughter!" Wang Mingyu sighed, and he knew why Sun Xue owed usury.

  Wang Mingyu listened to Sun Xue's mother speaking, his eyes fixed on the busy Sun Xue, and in that figure, there was a place that deeply fascinated him.

  What is it? Wang Mingyu certainly wouldn't know, but he knew that he had a deeper understanding of this strong girl. In order to take her mother to see a doctor, she didn't hesitate to borrow from loan sharks. Filial piety is the most important of all virtues and the foundation of all actions. If someone can be so devoted to their own mother, then that person is great and deserves everyone's respect, fully proving that this person has very good character.

  Wang Mingyu had an especially strong feeling, that was he felt he couldn't let this girl get hurt in any way. The thought that just occurred to him suddenly became unshakeable. Some people say it's love at first sight, but Wang Mingyu didn't know, he just wanted to protect this girl and be her strongest shield. It wasn't a question of whether it was worth it or not, should or shouldn't, there are some people who don't need reasons to do things, there are some people who once leave an impression deep in their heart, can never erase it.

  Girls like her are rare in modern times, because most girls nowadays have good family conditions. Mainly due to the country's growing national strength, people's living standards have improved significantly compared to before.

  But even in today's society, there are not many girls who have such great perseverance. She doesn't give up on her studies or her mother. How can people not feel heartbroken for someone like that? This girl is only 17 or 18 years old.

  Sun Xue would not know what Wang Mingyu is thinking now, looking at the dazed expression on Wang Mingyu's face that was not quite right, she suddenly felt a pang in her heart, "Could it be that he really looks down on us? It's also true, our gap is too big, he is so excellent!"

  This girl, once she has a crush on someone, is particularly concerned about that person's thoughts. Of course, many of these are their own one-sided ideas. Even good things can be thought of as bad things, leading to misunderstandings. Misunderstandings that are cleared up in time are beautiful, but those that aren't cleared up in time are sad.

  Wang Mingyu looked at Sun Xue who was looking at him, with tears still in her eyes, and walked up to ask: "Sun Xue, what's wrong? Is there something on your mind?"

  "Come out for a moment!" Sun Xue said, then quietly walked out of the house, leaving Wang Mingyu with a bewildered expression. He was just happy a moment ago, how did it suddenly turn gloomy?

  "Is there something wrong?" Wang Mingyu asked as soon as he closed the door, Sun Xue silently walked forward without a word, she wanted to get away from home.

  After a while, Sun Xue suddenly stopped and asked, "Wang Ge, do you look down on our family? I know we're poor, my mom's health is not good, but... waaahhh" As she spoke, Sun Xue squatted down and started crying. "No, no, Sun Xue, don't misunderstand me! I was just thinking of how to help you guys. Really, I didn't mean to look down on you at all. On the contrary, I admire you for taking on such a big responsibility at such a young age!" Wang Mingyu helped up the crying Sun Xue and said... Sun Xue heard Wang Mingyu's words and suddenly threw herself into his arms, starting to cry again. This time, it really made Wang Mingyu feel like he was frozen in place by the Buddha himself. He felt his blood rushing up, and for a moment, he didn't know what to do with his hands - whether to hug her or not.

  Sun Xue, who had been crying for a while, suddenly felt a bit unseemly, then looked at Wang Mingyu in his arms and let out a "yah" sound. She quickly left Wang Mingyu's arms and stood beside him, her cheeks flushed with embarrassment, looking pitiful and moving!

  Wang Mingyu didn't know what to do, standing there stupidly, saying "Sorry sorry!", also not knowing whether he should say it or not.

  Sun Xue found it funny and also felt very embarrassed, not knowing how she had been so bold as to hug him. It was a case of puppy love, love at first sight! In the hero rescues beauty scenario, it's rare for the hero not to be admired by the beauty.

  The two of them just stood there, after a while, Wang Mingyu felt that the atmosphere was a bit awkward, so he said: "Sun Xue, I'll come visit you again next time, I still have to go back to school! I'll go say goodbye to your aunt and leave!" After finishing speaking, Wang Mingyu walked towards Sun Xue's house.
