I don't want it!

Looking at the elusive Xi Qiao, I have a feeling of being in the center of a horror movie, the kind of feeling that don't know when a monster will suddenly pop out, proving that the greatest fear of mankind is the unknown.

That's why I want to stay away from her, because living like this every day would only happen if I married Xi Qiao!

Rumor has it that marriage is the tomb of life, but this is not a tomb at all! It's like a funeral and cremation combo!

"What do you see in me... can't I change?"

"Everything~"

"Wow...you're going too far, do I have to apologize with my death for being bullied by you since I was little? Besides, Hulk Grandpa would never agree. You're his only granddaughter!"

I tried to reason with her, hoping to get away with it, because I absolutely don't want to marry Xi Qiao!

"Grandpa agrees~ He even happily patted my head~"

Hulk Grandpa, you're such a person... I really misjudged you... Is it because I played random songs in your car when I was a kid and now you're taking revenge on me?

"Marriage is too early for me..."

"It's okay~ Just go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to sign the papers, and we can have the wedding later~"

You're determined to marry me, aren't you!

Although I don't know what merits I have to be admired by Xi Qiao, but her temper is absolutely terrifying! It's a nightmare for me, like the fear of clowns!

There's no choice but to run now. My mom probably hasn't told her where I live yet, so I should be safe if I make it home first.

"Running away is useless~"

Just as I was about to start running, Xi Qiao suddenly smiled brightly and said, scaring me, but I didn't stop.

To be on the safe side, I even wore my sister's helmet to prevent a sniper from anesthetizing me on the spot, though a headshot would mean death.

However, just as I finally reached a crowded place, I suddenly heard Xi Qiao's voice from behind.

"Robbery~~~!"

What!?

In an instant, all the men on the street were like chicken blood chasing me, and if you didn't know better, you'd think I just killed someone at a male brothel to be chased by so many people.

Hey! Stop brothers! Stop! I know you want to be a hero and save the beauty, but that's not an angel, it's a demon!

Wearing the helmet, I was in a panic, and I regretted putting on the helmet because if Xi Qiao shouted like that, I wouldn't have been so easily identified as a suspect.

"The one with the injured corner of the mouth!"

I was so scared that I shivered when I tried to take off the helmet at the corner, and only then did I understand that this was Xi Qiao's conspiracy. She used words to scare me into wearing the helmet and running, and then everything was easy.

"In the stolen items...sob...there's a relic left by my grandpa..."

Hulk Grandpa, when did you die? I didn't know! Girl, don't mess around! Don't just black someone out when they're not there!

At this moment, in the eyes of others, I must be the evil helmet man who stole the precious treasure of a poor and helpless girl. I can see those fitness coaches or other high-speed, strong men behind me who are already getting angry. They are like bulls in the arena, probably already fantasizing about dating the beautiful girl after they take back the "relic" from me.

You guys are all being deceived! I'm the real victim here!

But stopping and reasoning with them is obviously unrealistic, and being "anal-yzed" is probably the only outcome if I stop.

Is the only thing in the eyes of these people a beautiful girl? I'm obviously the real disadvantaged group!

Fortunately, due to an incident in my childhood, I have always exercised my body, otherwise, I might have been caught by those strong guys in a single sprint.

What surprised me most is that although the distance was widened, Xi Qiao was also barely able to keep up. It seems she really has been running long distances all this time.

There's nothing to do but use that move...

My eyes turned fierce under the helmet, thinking of a way to hurt the enemy a thousand times but also hurt myself eight hundred times, but I wouldn't want to use it unless it was a huge crisis, because it's too hard to accept.Finally, I ran to that corner.

With a rustling sound, I squatted in a safe corner. Soon, the footsteps outside, like raindrops, gradually faded away, and I breathed a sigh of relief.

"..."

Oh my god... This place... is even more torturous than I imagined...

I almost fainted, vomiting rainbows, but given the current situation, this place was considered very safe. Usually, only people with problems in their minds would come here, and I had no other choice.

Just as I was about to leave, a crisp sound of footsteps suddenly came from outside. The owner of the footsteps might have been left behind by others, but unexpectedly stopped in front of my hiding place.

"..."

I knew who it was, so I dared not even take a breath.

After a while, she finally spoke.

"Hey... darling?"

Xi Qiao's voice was a bit puzzled, obviously somewhat unsure of her judgment.

"Are you..."

"… Hiding in the trash can…?"
