After purchasing a subway ticket to Meiguang Station from the automatic ticket machine, I passed through the ticket gate and stood on the platform with Su Yuqian. We waited for the subway to arrive. The platform was crowded, filled with adults with children, couples, and students. Perhaps because it was Saturday, I didn't expect there would be so many people.
When the subway arrived, people poured out of it like a swarm of bees. Boarding and disembarking happened simultaneously, making the already narrow doors even narrower. "It's time to get on, Your Highness," I reminded.
"Stupid Jerry, I know without you telling me," Su Yuqian quickly squeezed in. Being small really had its advantages, but I wasn't so lucky. I was practically getting crushed.
After finally managing to get on, the train was packed with people. All the seats were taken, and many people held onto the handrails. I had no choice but to become one of them. Su Yuqian stood in front of me, so it was temporarily impossible to have a conversation with her.
However, the distance between each stop wouldn't exceed three minutes. So we would be getting off soon. Before that, I decided to check the specific route on my phone. I took out my phone and checked the map.
In the blink of an eye, the subway arrived at the next stop. Some people got off, so the number of people inside the train decreased. Next was Meiguang Station. I listened carefully and tried to understand the route.
"Meiguang Station, approaching. Please prepare to get off for passengers who need to." The announcement came through the speakers. It was unexpectedly fast. I hadn't figured out the exact route yet, but it was time to get off. I had no choice but to carefully observe when I got off.
I lifted my head and prepared to call Su Yuqian to get off with me. But suddenly, a shout broke the tense atmosphere inside the train. "Ah... my phone, my phone! Catch the thief!" I looked around and saw a panicked Su Yuqian, along with a person wearing a black hooded jacket and black pants. He was slim and held a white smartphone with one hand and a glimmering silver knife with the other. People around were afraid and tried to avoid him.
The train door was on my side, so he ran towards me, waving the knife and shouting, "Get out of the way, or I'll stab you!" He was running towards me, and the subway had already arrived at the station. The doors were opening. If he escaped, Su Yuqian's phone would be gone. We were on a date, and it was unfortunate to encounter such a situation.
In an instant, he brushed past me, and the train doors were just a few steps away from him. "Thief! Where do you think you're going?" I shouted and charged towards him, intending to tackle him to the ground. But I underestimated him. Instead of tackling him, I ended up embracing him in a bear hug. He vigorously shook his body, trying to free himself from my hold. He cursed, "You idiot, find yourself in a death wish!"
He waved the knife but couldn't harm me. "Give me what you stole," I held onto him tightly.
"Damn you!" He couldn't break free from my grip and started ramming me against the train wall. The intense impact caused severe pain in my body, and I was forced to let go. That guy took the opportunity and ran towards the exit.
"I won't let you succeed!" I rushed towards him.
"You brought this upon yourself!" He turned around with a furious look and tightly gripped the knife, ready to stab me.
I saw this situation and froze. My mind went blank. "Yaojie!" I heard Su Yuqian shouting with all her strength. Her desperate shout snapped me back to reality. I managed to dodge this guy's attack by fractions of a second, but the blade grazed me. I fell to the ground, my heart pounding, and looked at him in terror. I couldn't move. This was terrible.
"I don't have time to play with you anymore," he said with a smirk and turned towards the exit. Su Yuqian rushed over and delivered a perfect knee strike to his chin. I heard the sound of broken teeth and the guy's screams as he fell and rolled on the ground in agony.
"I won't forgive you!" Su Yuqian said with burning anger.Immediately she crouched down beside me, worriedly asking, "Stupid Jerry, are you okay... What were you doing just now? It was very dangerous!"
Su Yuqian's eyes became moist.
"I feel like I've been cut by a knife, I'm dying...," I said, feeling cold and weak all over.
"Where are you injured? Stupid Jerry, I won't allow you to die like this, absolutely not. Aren't you my servant? Didn't we have a date together today? Get up!"
Large tears welled up in Su Yuqian's eyes.
"Foolish Yu Jie, get up quickly!" Su Yuqian shook my body, and I slowly closed my eyes.
"Yu Jie... Yu Jie!" Su Yuqian cried to the point where she could hardly speak.
"Hehehe..." I opened my eyes and couldn't help but laugh at her. Seeing me like this, Su Yuqian froze.
"I was just kidding you. His dagger only cut my clothes," I said.
Suddenly, Su Yuqian's face turned dark, and black mist rose up around her body.
"I'll send you to hell! You dead dog!" Without any hesitation, she kicked me with her foot.
"Please, I beg you, stop kicking me," I could only weakly plead while protecting my head with my arms.
"You're clearly just a dog... clearly just a dog, and yet you deceived your owner," Su Yuqian was furious. It wasn't until security personnel came to take this guy away that I escaped Su Yuqian's deadly trampling.
