Chapter 644 The Man Sitting at the Shop Entrance
However, things often don't go as planned.
They had only just sat down and hadn't even had a proper meal when Lin Xiyue's phone suddenly rang.
She picked it up and saw that it was An Qing calling.
"Oh no! Sister Xiaoyue, there's a strange person outside the shop!"
After the call connected, all I heard was the other person speaking anxiously.
Lin Xiyue's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly asked what had happened.
"I don't know either, but there's this weird-looking guy at the shop entrance who's been hanging around there since just now and won't leave. No matter what I say, he just won't budge... I really have no idea what to do!"
An Qing continued speaking.
Upon hearing this, Lin Xiyue immediately ordered everyone to pack up all the remaining dishes on the table and take them with them.
At the same time, he asked the shopkeeper to bring the meal he originally intended to give to An Qing, and then he and Molos prepared to return to the wishing shop.
Because they were so worried about An Qing's safety, Lin Xiyue and the other person did not choose to take a taxi back. Instead, Mo Luosi decisively picked her up, found a secluded and deserted alley, used his ability to tear through the void, and took her back home.
Moreover, because they adopted this unique way of returning home, they ended up arriving directly in their own bedroom.
"An Qing! How are you?! You didn't let that person in, did you?!"
The moment Lin Xiyue stepped into the room, she rushed downstairs anxiously, her face radiating concern, calling out repeatedly:
When she got downstairs, she saw An Qing sitting alone on a small wooden stool, staring out the door, seemingly lost in thought.
Seeing this scene, Lin Xiyue was still a little anxious.
"Tell your sister quickly, is everything alright? What are you thinking about sitting here all alone?"
She quickly stepped forward, squatted down to meet An Qing's gaze, and asked again urgently.
"Oh, it's nothing, Sister Xiyue. I just saw someone acting strangely standing outside the door. It seemed odd and I thought it might be dangerous, so I called you."
Upon hearing this, An Qing seemed to snap out of her daze, and then smiled gently as she replied to Lin Xiyue.
"So what did you do? What was his reaction?"
Lin Xiyue asked again.
Unfortunately, Fengmingxing isn't very safe lately, so she needs to be more vigilant.
"When he heard me call him to leave, he just glanced at the door casually, and then his mouth started moving as if he was muttering something, but I couldn't hear what he said clearly."
Then, the guy turned around, completely ignoring my words telling him to leave.
No matter how much I shouted for him to leave and told him that we were not open for business today and to come back tomorrow, he refused to leave.
But no matter how hard I tried to persuade him, he remained completely deaf, as if he had become utterly deaf.
When Lin Xiyue asked this question, An Qing couldn't help but show a hint of helplessness and responded softly.
Without a doubt, the guy standing outside the door wasn't deaf.
But the fact that he chose to sit in front of the store is indeed unsettling.
An Qing considered that she was still a minor and there were no adults at home. If she rashly went to drive this person away, it would probably be very dangerous.
So An Qing sent a message to Lin Xiyue and the others, telling them what had happened.
"Okay, I understand, that's great! You must continue to maintain this vigilance and always be aware of potential dangers around you."
If a stranger comes to your door asking for help or assistance, never open the door! Even if there are adults at home, let them open the door.
If no adults are available, you can directly call the relevant department's official hotline for assistance.
After all, you are still a minor, and it's difficult for you to even protect yourself, so please don't put yourself in a dangerous situation because of your kindness.
Lin Xiyue gently stroked An Qing's head while praising her highly.
After saying that, she turned her head and looked directly at Meros, who was walking towards her.
After taking a quick look and finding nothing amiss, Melos put the food he had brought back from outside into the dining room.
"I'll go check it out. You and An Qing go eat first."
Seeing Lin Xiyue's eyes, he quickly understood the situation and then spoke to her.
After saying that, he gestured for Lin Xiyue and An Qing to leave the main entrance first.
Lin Xiyue nodded upon hearing this.
"Shall we go open the door together? Anqing hasn't eaten yet, so let's go eat first."
Then, she gently nudged An Qing beside her and softly advised her.
After saying that, he looked at An Qing with concern in his eyes.
An Qing knew there was nothing she could do, so she didn't act coy.
She stood up briskly and walked straight towards the restaurant.
Lin Xiyue was relieved only after she saw An Qing obediently move to the restaurant to eat.
Immediately afterwards, she walked side by side with Meros to the door.
With a slight creak, the door was slowly pushed open.
The man, who had been sitting with his back to the door, turned around abruptly upon hearing the sound.
"Young lady, if you're home alone, it's best not to open the door to strangers easily, as it might not be safe..."
As he spoke, he slowly turned his head.
But just then, he suddenly saw Meros standing quietly at the door.
Because of his tall and imposing stature, when he appeared, he almost completely blocked the light coming through the crack in the door.
Upon seeing this, the man who had been talking non-stop froze instantly. His mouth was slightly open, as if he wanted to say something but could not make a sound.
"You...you guys...you're back?! The shop...the shop's open for business?!"
After a long while, the man finally came to his senses and stammered out his words.
Clearly, the man was quite frightened.
However, when he noticed Lin Xiyue following behind Meros, his eyes immediately lit up, as if he had discovered a dazzling light in the darkness.
Immediately afterward, he took a step forward, ready to rush towards Lin Xiyue and grab her hand tightly.
But before the man could make a move, a deep voice suddenly rang out—"Stop right there!"
Without a doubt, it was Meros who uttered those words.
His cold and ruthless tone and powerful aura were impossible to ignore; even the air seemed to freeze at that moment.
