Chapter 24: If You Don't Like It, Destroy It

  Because of that night's conversation, the relationship between the two also drew closer, and when they met in daily life, it was no longer just a nod and a grunt, sometimes they would even ask each other if they had eaten.

  Today is the weekend, it's Su Mo Ruo and Tan Yun Ning's turn to be on duty this weekend. At around 9 o'clock in the evening, there were hardly any people left in the library. After checking the time, they started closing up the library.

  After cleaning up, it was around 9:30. The library had no more readers inside, and the two were also preparing to get off work. However, when they locked the door, a clear, gentle, and soft female voice sounded in their ears, "Yuning, let's have a midnight snack together tonight."

  The sound of the door lock was slightly delayed, and Su Mo Ruo also sensed it very sensitively, but didn't say anything, just waiting to see Tan Yun Ning's reaction.

  It was just a slight stiffness, and soon recovered, quickly locked the door with nimble hands and feet, turned around, and took Su Mo Ruo's hand in one go, leaving Su Mo Ruo stunned for a while.

  The woman, who originally looked gentle, now appeared pitiful, her watery eyes gazing at Tan Yunning with a sorrowful expression, her red lips trembling, "You... you..."

  Looking at the woman in front of him, Tan Yunning appeared very calm and even raised the hand that was holding Su Mo's to wave it back and forth in front of her. "We are what you see us as, the kind of relationship you think we have."

  As soon as the words came out, the beautiful woman's face turned pale, her legs softened and she was about to fall to the ground. At this moment, a black shadow quickly appeared, embracing the beauty's slender waist, with a hint of heartache on his face, "I told you all along, now that you've seen it with your own eyes, are you finally convinced?"

  She shook her head, her face filled with pain. "No, he must be angry with me. What I said that day was all out of anger, all just angry words." The woman looked at Tan Yunning for a moment, then at the man beside her, her words becoming somewhat incoherent.

  The scene at this moment is like a sandwich cookie, Su Mo is the filling, stuck inside, really uncomfortable.

  She wanted to break free, but felt Tan Yunning's grip on her hand getting tighter. She furrowed her brow and looked up at him, saying in a low voice: "Let go."

  He didn't say a word, but his eyes softened Su Mo Ruo. Those eyes looked so pitiful that people couldn't help but want to comfort him. Such broken eyes made one wonder what kind of feeling this man had in his heart at this moment. The struggling force also gradually disappeared.

  "Now that we're off work, let's have something to eat together." The black-clad man beside the beauty spoke up, looking quite a bit older than Tan Yun Ning, but his eyes revealed a hint of hostility as he gazed at Tan Yun Ning.

  Listening to the invitation, Tan Yun Ning had some difficulty in pulling the corner of his mouth, "Okay." Then he lowered his head and said to Su Mo Ruo in a low voice: "Help me once, I owe you a favor."

  She rolled her eyes, but actually she wanted to say that she didn't need such a favor from him. To her, one favor wasn't anything significant, but the words stopped at her lips and she finally nodded slightly in agreement.

  The man in black drove up in his car; anyone who could afford a small vehicle these days was considered wealthy.

  The beauty sat in the co-pilot seat, and Su Mo Ruo and Tan Yun Ning naturally sat in the back seat. After sitting in the co-pilot seat, the beauty seemed to regret it a bit, but since there's no medicine for regret in this world, she could only accept it.

  The car headed directly to a night market that was relatively close to Beijing. The car stopped from afar, and it wasn't even 10 o'clock yet, which is exactly the time when the night market is bustling with activity. Couples, working-class people, or others who are busy, all choose to come here at this hour to grab something to eat.

  Su Mo and Tan Yunning were okay, both wearing ordinary clothes, very simple. But that beautiful woman and the man in black were different, their clothes were out of place in the night market, absolutely top-notch people in the eyes of the night market crowd.

  However, the man seemed to be familiar with the place and walked straight into a small open-air noodle shop. The shop was simply furnished with a few tables, but it looked like business was good as all four tables were filled with people. Inside, an elderly couple was busy at work, looking like they had aged, their hands and feet not very agile, hesitant in their movements when scooping noodles and serving them.

  "You——" Su Mo Ruo watched this scene, suddenly felt a gust of wind blowing in front of her eyes, and then saw Tan Yun Ning already take several steps to the old man's side, stretched out his hand to hold the bowl in her hand, asked for the specific location, and then took the bowl over.

  "Miss, you don't know yet, this is the grandfather who raised Yun Ning year after year. Hehe, not biological, Yun Ning was picked up by them. The two old people had no children all their lives, so they brought Yun Ning as a son. However, the two old people are getting older and cannot afford Yun Ning's tuition fees, so they can only come out to set up a night stall." The beautiful woman with a sweet voice looked at Su Mo Ruo's surprise, word by word, and began to talk about Tan Yun Ning's affairs.

  "Have you said enough? If so, come in and eat." Just then a table of guests left, Tan Yun Ning walked to Su Mo Ruo's side, grabbed her hand and pulled her towards the inner table.

  He had never been treated like this before, Sumo's face changed again and again, and it took a long time to hold back. In his heart, he kept telling himself: This man is uncomfortable, I'll be kind to him and let him vent.

  Originally, the location was just a small square table. The old man hadn't seen Tan Yunning for a long time, and today he saw him bring friends over, so he was naturally happy and excitedly went to cook noodles for them.

  Su Mo Ruo originally wanted to go sit in that empty space, but didn't think Tan Yun Ning wouldn't give her any thinking space, and directly pulled her over to sit together with him.

  The beautiful woman sitting next to the man in black clothes changed her expression again, biting her red lips with her teeth, looking like she was about to cry.

  But this entered Tan Yunning's eyes as if it were air, and she didn't even care, letting the beauty drift in the wind.

  "Tsk, tsk, such a delicate beauty, be careful not to attract perverts, beautiful!" Suddenly bursting out with this shocking sentence, it blew the other three people present away.

  Tan Yunning, sitting next to Su Mo, flashed a look of astonishment in her eyes, and her mouth twitched slightly, but ultimately remained silent, without making a sound.

  But the man beside the beautiful woman was not having it, he raised his eyes and gave Su Mo a fierce glare, "This miss is really venomous with her words, I don't know who she thinks she's provoking, is it her fault that she's more outstanding than you? Are you jealous of others being better than you?"

  Her eyes narrowed slightly, smiling at the man in front of her who was righteous and serious, a lazy smile hooked at the corner of her mouth. The words she spoke, however, made people feel a chill run down their spine: "As for things I'm jealous of, I've always been one to directly destroy them - not just talk about it."
