268. Chapter 268 Relief

This is a quiet, remote park. Unlike those big parks, there are not many aunts dancing in the square.

Generally, those who come here at night are some young couples who are having a tryst. They are affectionate in a place where no one is around and do things that cannot be done during the day.

Su Rourou hesitated for a while, and just when she was about to call Lan Xier, she heard the phone in her pocket ringing.

"Rou Rou, where are you now?" Lan Xier's voice sounded anxious, and every word seemed to be trembling.

Hearing her voice, Su Rourou's heart skipped a beat, and cold sweat broke out on the palm of her hand holding the phone. Lan Xier is braver than most girls. It is rare to see her so panicked. Something must have happened!

"Xier, are you okay? Where are you now?" Su Rourou felt that the blood in her body had solidified, and her fingertips were cold.

"Don't worry about me for now, don't come to this park! I didn't ask you to come here! It was An Yirou pretending to be me..." Lan Xier ran out of the park, panting and yelling to Su Rourou, "Anyway, get out of here first!"

Su Rourou wanted to say something more, but she heard a burst of hurried footsteps behind her, as if someone was chasing her from behind.

Her heart suddenly jumped, and she looked back in horror, and the phone in her hand almost slipped to the ground.

Fortunately... the person who came was Lan Xier. Just now, it was a complete false alarm...

Before she came to her senses, Lan Xier had already run in front of her, grabbed her hand forcefully, and pulled her towards the main road.

"Run!" Her cry was particularly frightening in the dark night.

Looking at Lan Xier's panic, Su Rourou didn't bother to ask more questions and ran after her.

The two ran hand in hand on the dim path until they reached the brightly lit main road, where Lan Xier's pace gradually slowed down.

Su Rourou took a few steps forward and walked shoulder to shoulder with her.

However, they still maintained the hand-in-hand posture, and no one let go first. Their fingertips were still trembling, as if they had just come back from a circle at the gate of hell, with a feeling of surviving a disaster.

They didn't speak along the way, just watching the gradually sparse vehicles and pedestrians on the main road, trying to calm themselves down.

When they reached the intersection where they usually parted, Lan Xier stopped first: "Rou Rou, the person who asked you out today was not me, but An Yirou. She didn't know where she found a gangster and wanted to harm you... You should be more careful in the future."

It was already Mid-Autumn Festival, and the night wind was a little cool, brushing across their cheeks. Lan Xier's voice, along with this hint of coolness, reached Su Rourou's ears.

The blond man who harassed her that day suddenly appeared in her mind, so... In fact, all this was planned by An Yirou behind the scenes?

But why did she do this to herself? Although she also hated An Yirou, she only hated her silently in her heart, and she had never done anything to hurt her in any substantial way.

"Well, thank you, Xier." She nodded, still a little scared.

Lan Xier lowered her head, and a trace of timidity and guilt flashed in her eyes: "Rou Rou... During this period, I have been reflecting. I swear, I will never do anything to let you down again in the future! Can we... still be friends? Do you look down on selfish people like me...?"

"No, how could I look down on you..." Su Rourou held her hand a little tighter, with a faint smile on the corner of her mouth, "Let's continue to be good friends in the future!"

"Really...?" Lan Xier looked at her in a daze, a trace of joy flashed in her eyes, and crystal tears appeared in her eyes.

"Yes, really." Su Rourou looked into her eyes seriously and nodded vigorously.

Lan Xier's tears suddenly couldn't be stopped, and they fell like a flood.

"Xier, you... don't cry..." Su Rourou was in a panic. Seeing her crying so sadly, she felt like crying too.
