The sudden incident made Fade bewildered. He immediately eyed the person beside him in curiosity.
The person was wearing an oversized shirt with a hat on top, and her face was shielded beneath the shadows. However, judging from her figure, it was evident that she was a young lady.
"Miss, you—" Fade was about to ask.
The girl quickly made a silencing gesture at Fade. Then, to Fade's disbelief, she approached Fade. She directly held Fade's arm intimately and leaned her head against Fade's shoulder.
Fade was taken aback by her blatant moves. Deep in his heart, he whispered, "Are the girls in Thunder Mountain City so bold and aggressive?"
"Miss, I—" Fade said.
However, before he could say anything, the woman lowered her voice and said to Fade, "Someone is after me. Give me a hand. Pretend to be my boyfriend so that they won't discover me."
As soon as the girl finished speaking, there was a flurry of footsteps coming from the entrance of the food stall. Several people hurried in, scanning around frantically as though they were after
somebody.
The girl stole a glance at them and she stiffened. She whispered to Fade, "They're coming."
Then, the girl leaned closer to Fade. Her soft body went directly onto Fade's arm, and her cheek inched closer to his. She whispered to Fade within a hair's breadth, "Don't let out a sound."
As the two closed the distance between each other, Fade finally got to take a clear view of the young lady's face which was concealed under the big hat.
The girl was in her early twenties, she was young. The pair of massive bright eyes, small but high nose, and moist cherry red lips made the girl look especially lovely and delicate.
As though she could sense Fade's gaze on her, the young lady shot a disapproving glare at him and whispered, "Stop looking. You will expose us."
At this moment, several people who came in looking for her stalked toward their location.
The young lady was overwhelmed with mounting nerves. She plunged herself deeper into Fade's embrace, and her cheek was so close to Fade's that they were almost glued to each other. They could feel each other's hot and humid breaths of landing on their cheeks.
After a long while, hearing that it had gone quiet, the young lady retreated a little and asked Fade worriedly, "Have they left?"
Fade looked up and found that those people were gone. So, he nodded and said, "Yes."
Immediately, the lady breathed a sigh of relief. She smiled sweetly at Fade in gratitude and said, "Thank you. I'm leaving. Bye!"
As she spoke, the girl attempted to let go and get up from Fade's embrace.
However, at that particular moment, a middle-aged man and woman, dressed in good-looking clothes, came over with gloomy faces.
"Cherry Xie! Tell me, what are you doing?"
"Cherry, we've made an appointment for dinner. How can you run away like this?"
Upon hearing the voices of the two, the girl, who was close to getting up, quickly sat back and threw herself back into Fade's embrace. She hugged Fade tightly and whispered in a pleading tone, "Don't let go of me."
At the sight of this scene, the middle-aged man and women's expressions stiffened as they cast a hostile look toward Fade.
"Who are you? Let go of our Cherry."
"Let go of her right now, or you'll have to pay for it."
