All of a sudden, she had arrived in a foreign environment. Ning Meng hugged the comic in her hands tightly and stared blankly at the shop window.
Her brain was working fast as she tried to digest everything that had happened.
She did not understand why she was going back and forth in a book, and the timeline was messed up. Looking at her own reflection, she suddenly had a ridiculous thought.
Could it be … that she was Huo Beichen's first love?
As soon as she thought of this, she heard a vegetable vendor say, "Are you here to deliver homework to your child again?"
Then, a gentle voice with a hint of helplessness said, "Yes, this child is always forgetful. He even left his homework at home. The teacher is going to talk about it later, so I'm here to deliver it to him."
The vendor joked, "What are you going to do during the exam?"
The gentle voice laughed. "There's no other way. You just have to bring your brain into the exam."
The two of them chatting and laughing attracted Ning Meng's attention. She casually glanced at them and looked away. Suddenly, she froze!!
She turned her head and looked at the owner of the gentle voice!
She looked to be less than forty years old, and she had a gentle appearance. She wore a well-fitting knitted dress, and she would smile even when she was not talking. There was a mole on her chin!!
Was this not the "old lady" that she had seen in the Huo Manor?!
This old lady was Huo Beichen's first love's mother.
Could it be that Huo Beichen was already in a relationship?
The ridiculous thought disappeared in an instant.
Ning Meng thought back to the past. Huo Beichen's first love was also called Ning Meng, and he had a younger sister called Ning Ke. His mother was that "old lady", and she had come to this place with nothing!
What the hell was going on?!
Ning Meng instinctively walked over and followed her.
The woman arrived at the school gate and said a few words to the guard. Apparently, they knew each other, and the guard let her in.
Ning Meng wanted to follow her in, but the guard did not allow her to. She could only wait outside. Five minutes later, the woman finally came out and greeted the guard with a smile.
The guard said, "Actually, it's fine if you don't send it over!"
The woman shook her head. "What about during class?"
The guard was an old man in his fifties. When he heard this, he laughed and said, "Huo Beichen always sleeps in class. You can borrow his!"
When the woman heard this, she sighed. "I'm still the same!"
The guard seemed to have thought of something and nodded.
The woman greeted the guard and walked out.
This time, Ning Meng could see her face clearly. It was indeed the "Old Lady"!
The woman quickly walked away, leaving Ning Meng standing at the same spot, trying to digest the conversation she had just had with the security guard.
This woman's child was in the same class as Huo Beichen, which meant that they were classmates. Huo Beichen's first love was his classmate?
Ning Meng's mind was in a mess, and she could not figure out what was going on.
Moreover, she didn't know where to go now. In this strange world, she had no identity, no home, nothing.
Just as he was thinking, his stomach growled.
Ning Meng swallowed a mouthful of saliva and subconsciously put her hand into her jeans pocket. However, she did not have a single cent.
"…"
Why did she feel so pitiful?
Her gaze fell on the hawker carts not far away. Some were selling fried dough sticks, while others were selling soy milk. Those things that were usually very ordinary were now full of temptation.
Ning Meng became even hungrier.
"Young lady, buy a sesame seed cake!" Seeing that she was staring at the food, someone quickly called out to her.
"…"
Ning Meng quickly waved her hand. "No."
Then, she quickly walked to the side of the alley. As long as she could not see the food, she would not be too hungry, right?
Ning Meng unknowingly walked a little deeper into the alley and accidentally came to a secluded place. She was a little lost.
In the next few years, this place would be demolished and a high-rise building would be built. There would be a shopping mall not far away, but now, it was full of dilapidated single-story houses. It was like a maze.
So, this place was so dilapidated eight years ago. Who would have thought that it would be so prosperous eight years later?
However, it was useless to think about this now. The most important thing was how to fill her stomach.
As she was thinking, she suddenly heard a voice coming from in front of her.
"Are you giving it to me? Are you giving it to me or not?!"
"We're talking about you! Hurry up!"
"Little friend, don't force us to hit you!"
"??"
Following the direction of the voice, she saw two tall and skinny boys surrounding a female student. The female student was thin and weak, and the loose school uniform of Sea City No.1 High School hung on her body. She lowered her head, and her thick bangs covered her face. Her voice was as soft as a fly. "I … I don't have money today."
"You don't have money? Didn't I tell you yesterday to bring 50 yuan today? "
"Won't you steal from your dad if you don't have money?"
The two boys forced the girl into a corner, and the girl said timidly, "I … I don't dare …"
"You don't dare? Then, aren't you afraid of us? "
As the two hooligans spoke, they made their move and threw a punch at her!
However, the next moment, someone grabbed his wrist.
The hooligans turned their heads and saw a thin girl in denim standing next to them, looking at them with a smile.
The hooligan was stunned. "Who are you? Which school are you from? "
Ning Meng was 21 years old and had just graduated from university. Her face was beautiful and young, and it was very deceiving. She looked like a delicate underage girl.
Ning Meng ignored him and started to fight.
To deal with people like this, there was no need to say anything. Just fight violence with violence.
She was beautiful, but she was an orphan. Since young, she had lived in a chaotic environment, so she learned Taekwondo to protect herself. Now, against these people, she could kill them with one punch.
After beating the two hooligans to the ground, she patted her hands and looked at the girl. Seeing that the girl was looking at her, Ning Meng said, "Why aren't you running?"
The girl reacted and ran away in large strides.
After the girl left, Ning Meng squatted down.
The two hooligans were frightened and begged for mercy. "Sis, who are you? Please let us go! "
Who?
Ning Meng randomly said, "This area will be under my protection from now on. Do you understand?"
"Yes, yes! Sis, I understand!"
The two hooligans got up from the ground and were about to run away when Ning Meng shouted, "Wait."
The two hooligans stopped and Ning Meng coughed. "Um, do you have money?"
The hooligans were speechless.
Ning Meng took the 10 yuan that she had robbed from them and went to the school gate to buy a few sesame seed cakes.
She did not know anyone, so she could only wait for Huo Beichen to finish school.
