CHAPTER. 46

The venue for the road show wasn't far from the hotel and it only took a quarter of an hour to walk there.

The oncoming cold wind was mixed with snowflakes, which bought a romantic atmosphere unique to winter.

The rain washed the city. It was a bustling city and a prosperous world, but the world under the umbrella was quiet and stable.

The rain gradually increased, but Gu Mian didn't get wet except for her feet. After arriving at the hotel, Gu Mian stomped her feet. The road was full of water and her shoes were all wet. After stomping her feet, she realized that Lou Che's long coat was wet.

His coat was black. It was not obvious but at the moment, it was dripping continuously.

After a while, there was a small puddle of water on the place where he was standing.

Gu Mian pursed her lips and raised her finger to his clothes, "Your… coat is wet…"

Lou Che handed the dripping umbrella to the staff who helped to put the plastic bag on the side.

His tone was casual, "It's okay."

He took off his coat directly, revealing the dark gray sweater he was wearing inside and placed the coat on his hand.

Lou Che was tall. The long coat on his arm made him more handsome.

Xiao Zhu, who was behind them, also came with Lou Ziyu.

The group of four people entered the elevator and pressed the floor button.

Gu Mian lowered her head and glanced at the black umbrella Lou Che was holding. This black umbrella was a normal size, more than enough for one person, but a little too small for two people.

So, most of the umbrella was guarding her?

The male lead was really impeccable in the small details and it was very touching.

With a ding-dong, the elevator door opened slowly.

Xiao Zhu and Lou Ziyu went back to their room.

Lou Che held an umbrella in one hand and a long coat in the other hand. He asked casually, "What are you going to eat tonight?"

Gu Mian tilted her head and thought, "Instant noodles? Delivery?" After she said that, she added, "I will ask for Xiao Zhu's opinion later."

Lou Che was stunned, then lowered his eyes, "Okay."

After returning to the room, Gu Mian first soaked her feet in hot water comfortably. Her feet got cold. When it touched the hot water, she felt warm.

While Gu Mian was still soaking her feet, she received a call from Xiao Zhu, "Mian Mian, help, it's an emergency, an emergency!"

Gu Mian tilted her big toes in the basin comfortably, "What's the matter?"

Xiao Zhu said in an anxious tone, "My aunt (m. period) came, do you have a pad?"

Gu Mian's aunt had just left two days ago, so naturally she wouldn't carry such things with her.

Xiao Zhu wailed loudly on the other end of the phone, "What should I do? I didn't bring it. Maybe it's because I have been exposed to the rain just now and my feet were wet. That's why my stomach hurts so much now that I can't buy it myself."

Gu Mian picked up the towel on the side and wiped her feet and said, "Don't worry, I will go to the convenience store to buy it for you now."

She found a folding umbrella in the corner of the room. She took her wallet, mobile phone and the umbrella and went out.

When she walked along the way, she saw a 24-hour convenience store downstairs. There must be a sanitary pad in the convenience store.

After arriving at the convenience store, Gu Mian found the pad on a shelf, she took off a pack, but saw a shadow on the ground with sharp eyes.

It wasn't uncommon to see shadows.

But this shadow was different from ordinary shadows, because the owner of this shadow held a knife in his hand.

Reminiscent of the bloody limb before, Gu Mian quickly took two steps back calmly.

But it was too late. The next second, the man appeared in Gu Mian's sight with the knife.

This person was dressed similarly as he did when he first appeared. He wore a hat, but because he didn't lower his head this time, Gu Mian could clearly see his appearance.

The man sneered and tried to stab Gu Mian, but she clasped her fist and shouted "Big Brother."

Hearing that, the person who was about to commit the attack was stunned.

Gu Mian glanced at his face, made a fist at him and said with a sincere tone, "Brother, you are only twenty-six years old this year. Why do you do something that you know is illegal?"

Gu Mian mentioned his age. The assailant thought that his information had been exposed and his expression became even more fierce.

Gu Mian sighed, glanced at his face and continued, "No matter what you want to do, think about your sick mother before doing it. She still needs your care."

The person's expression obviously changed. He said viciously, "How do you know?"

"I know you took the risk in order to raise money to treat your mother, but your mother is such a kind person. If she knew that the money for her treatment came from such immoral deeds, what would she think?"

The man whispered hysterically, "But without money, she will die soon!"

It may be that the rain was very heavy. So there were very few customers in the convenience store. There was only the cashier at the counter.

The shelf where the pads were placed was far away from the counter. The clerk hadn't noticed the anomaly there.

"Brother, I can lend you the money. You have hands and feet and you can work hard to repay me in the future."

Gu Mian knew that the person in front of her was actually not bad and he had been doing honest work before. This time, he was forced to a dead end before he took the order.

When this person heard these words, his heart was a little shaken. He naturally didn't want to hurt people.

In the end, he wasn't a murderous person. He had been a good citizen who abided by the law for the previous twenty-six years. It was also the first time he held a knife. If he said he wasn't nervous and afraid, that would be a lie.

He actually regretted it and wriggled his chapped lips, "Is it really possible?"

Gu Mian made her fist again, "Of course you can. It's not easy for people to meet great masters, so let's be considerate of each other."

"Okay!" The man was about to put down the knife.

But at that moment, it was snatched by someone who appeared suddenly and then he was firmly pressed to the ground with his hands clasped behind him.

Gu Mian was taken aback. At first, she thought it was a helpful customer who happened to pass by in the convenience store. But when she saw the good-hearted person who did it, she realized that it wasn't.
