Chapter 165 Heroines



Chapter 165 Heroines

As he spoke, Ma Junjie hurriedly and repeatedly rummaged through his pockets.

"Splash, splash"

A pair of hands were constantly patting their pockets, making a rattling sound.

Finally, Ma Junjie took both pockets out.

It was completely empty.

It was so clean it couldn't be cleaner.

Ma Junjie's heart suddenly sank, feeling a chill run through him.

Going to sleep like that was such a waste, a huge loss indeed!

Ma Junjie looked worried and said to Li Xuemei,

"That damn thief! He took all the change from my pocket, and... my phone!"

"Sigh, that phone is worth several thousand dollars..."

At this moment, Ma Junjie was filled with remorse.

At the same time, he was filled with righteous indignation at the thief who stole his things.

Li Xuemei saw that Ma Junjie looked annoyed.

Suddenly, he burst out laughing.

Ma Junjie was startled and froze for a moment.

He couldn't understand it at all and asked in confusion.

"Xuemei, you...you can't be so gloating, can you?"

"I...I'm already heartbroken, how...why are you still smiling?"

"Hehe!" Hearing Ma Junjie say that, Li Xuemei burst out laughing.

Finally, it stopped with great difficulty.

He raised his head and said,

"Okay, okay, I won't laugh anymore!"

"Come here, let me show you something!"

Ma Junjie's eyes widened.

"Wh...what is that?"

Li Xuemei quickly pulled something out of her pocket and placed it in front of Ma Junjie.

Ma Junjie glanced at it.

He shouted out in surprise.

"My phone! My phone!"

Li Xuemei smiled faintly.

"Yes, here you go!"

"Hmph, thanks to me today, otherwise your phone would have vanished long ago and never been seen again!"

Ma Junjie took the phone and looked at it from all angles.

He asked with delight,

"Xuemei, how...how did you get it?"

Li Xuemei raised her head with a hint of pride and said,

"As soon as I got on the bus, I saw you sleeping, so I was about to sit next to you."

"There was a thief stealing your things at that time. I don't know where I got the courage, but I quietly approached him and took your phone when he wasn't paying attention."

"When the thief found out, he threatened me with a knife, so I yelled 'Help!' from inside the car. He glared at me and slunk out of the car."

Ma Junjie was also terrified when he heard this.

He also highly praised Li Xuemei.

He gave a thumbs-up and praised,

"Xuemei, you...you're simply a superhero, a true heroine!"

"As a man, I sincerely admire you!"

Li Xuemei smiled faintly and said,

"Hmph, it's alright!"

"I don't know why I acted crazy just now. To be honest, if you asked me to do it all over again now, I definitely wouldn't dare."

Ma Junjie listened and gave an awkward smile.

However, he quickly added...

"Haha, anyway, Xuemei, I got my phone back, all thanks to you!"

"Come on, it's almost dinner time. Let me treat you to dinner!"

Li Xuemei thought for a moment.

He raised his head and said disdainfully,

"We'll see...we'll see!"

"Hmph, I...I haven't forgiven you yet for the last time you made me angry!"

As she spoke, Li Xuemei turned her head to look out the window, appearing as if she didn't want to talk to Ma Junjie.

Ma Junjie watched from the side with a smile on his face.

Just then, the bus screeched to a halt.

The driver turned around and shouted towards the back.

"Alright, everyone get off the bus, we've arrived at the final stop!"

There were only four or five people scattered on the bus at that time.

Hearing the driver's shout, everyone stood up and got off the bus.

Li Xuemei also stood up and said...

"Get off the bus!"

Ma Junjie chuckled.

"Okay, sure!"

The two got off the bus. Ma Junjie looked around and noticed that the terminal station was a bit remote.

Apart from a few houses, there were no other buildings around.

At that moment, several motorcycles sped up to pick up passengers.

He shouted,

"Handsome guy, beautiful lady, let's hitch a ride!"

"My prices are the lowest, and I'm honest with everyone!"

Ma Junjie looked at Li Xuemei and asked...

"Xuemei, what's your idea?"

Li Xuemei paused for a moment, then replied,

"walk!"

"Let's walk back."

"Huh?" Ma Junjie asked, somewhat surprised.

"Xuemei, how far is it from here to the factory?"

Li Xuemei did not answer and walked straight ahead.

Ma Junjie had no choice but to follow.

After walking for a while, Ma Junjie noticed that Li Xuemei remained silent, so he took the initiative to start a conversation.

He asked with a smile,

"Xuemei, are you out having fun today?"

Li Xuemei glanced at Ma Junjie.

He said it in a rather irritable manner.

"Yeah, it's the weekend. If we don't go out for a walk, we'll all go stir-crazy."

Ma Junjie smiled gently.

"Xuemei, why are you all alone? Your roommate... Oh, and where's Baixue?"

Upon hearing Bai Xue's name, Li Xuemei stopped and glared at Ma Junjie.

"Brother Jie, you'd better not mention her name in front of me again!"

"Hmph, Bai Xue, she's moved out already!"

"I've lost the only person I could talk to. She...she's completely ungrateful!"

Upon hearing this, and seeing Li Xuemei's aggrieved expression, Ma Junjie...

He laughed out loud.

"Xuemei, she has a boyfriend, so of course she has to live with him!"

"You definitely can't stop her!"

"Xuemei, I think...you should find a boyfriend!"

Upon hearing this, Li Xuemei stared wide-eyed at Ma Junjie.

Suddenly, her brows furrowed, and she said with a hint of annoyance,

"Brother Jie, if this is how you're going to talk, then goodbye!"

"Hmph, I haven't forgiven you for making me angry last time, and now you're saying things like this again. Be careful... I'll never talk to you again!"

Ma Junjie quickly said.

"Don't...don't get agitated!"

"Xuemei, I was just joking with you, and it's also a sincere suggestion. If you don't accept it, just ignore it!"

"Haha, I'm just a friend, I think you should date..."

"A girl as pretty and with such a good personality as you must have a lot of guys chasing after you at the factory, right?"

Upon hearing this, Li Xuemei

She stomped her foot, turned around angrily, and left.

Ma Junjie was stunned for a moment.

Then, laughing, he chased after her.

"Xuemei, don't go, don't go!"

"I won't say it anymore, I'll never say it again!"

"Let's go, let's talk about what to eat later. Order whatever you want, it's on me today!"

Li Xuemei frowned and walked faster and faster, not wanting to pay any attention to Ma Junjie.

Ma Junjie knew that Li Xuemei was just a little shy and embarrassed, not really angry.

So I followed her from the side, smiling, glancing at her every now and then.

After walking for about seven or eight minutes,

After passing through a residential building, I walked a few hundred meters further.

As Ma Junjie walked, he suddenly realized that the scene before him seemed strangely familiar.

He stared wide-eyed, looking left and right.

Suddenly, he slapped his thigh hard and shouted.

"Xuemei, the path you led us down is absolutely brilliant! We've actually ended up at my house!"

"Xuemei, don't go! Come on, come inside and sit down!"
