Chapter 57: Saved by a Beauty
Vivian sighed softly as she took out a muffin and crushed it with her hand before throwing it into the
water.
A moment later, two little fish swam up and started eating the muffin crumbs.
It must be the happiest day for these two fish.
Vivian wished that she could just be a fish. She wouldn't have to worry about having human thoughts or
memories and live her life however she wanted. All it would take was just a few seconds to forget
everything she'd been through and see the world anew again. She was sure that even the waterweed
would be very interesting then.
Of course, she would never be able to know how it felt like to be without a care in the world like those
two fish. She could only continue struggling to stay afloat in this cold, cruel world.
Vivian smiled bitterly and continued to crush the snacks in the bag, throwing them into the water bit by
bit.
The two fish had already left after eating their fill, but Vivian kept throwing food in.
"Oh, who'd have thought that I'd bump into such a pretty little girl feeding the fish on a beautiful day like
this? Don't just feed the fish, feed us too!"
A disgusting voice suddenly appeared behind Vivian.
Vivian quickly turned around and saw two sinister-looking men walking towards her with a wretched
smile on their faces.
"That's right! I'm also hungry somewhere else too," the one with green hair said with a laugh. "Little girl,
since you're so kind-hearted, you're gonna take care of us as well, right?"
The other man with slanted eyes started laughing so hard that his eyes disappeared into tiny slits.
Vivian quickly threw the rest of the crumbs away and picked up her sketchbook, holding it in front of her
while she took a few steps back.
Of course, that sketchbook was no match for two strong men like them.
"Who are you? Stay away from me!" Vivian said as she continued backing away.
But in the eyes of those two men, she was just like a little bird trapped in a cage. It didn't matter how
big of a fuss she kicked up.
"We're your brothers, sweetie. Don't worry, we'll be very gentle. As long as you don't resist, we will
make you feel really good," Slanted Eyes said, squeezing his sleazy hands rather obscenely in front of
him.
Green Hair glanced at Slanted Eyes and let out a laugh. "Did you really think that she's as innocent as
she looks? Girls are all like this nowadays, they look pure and innocent on the outside but they're really
beasts in the sheets. Who knows, she might even be begging us for it too!"
Their vulgar words nearly made Vivian faint from embarrassment.
But of course, she knew that this was not the time to feel embarrassed.
Vivian tightly clutched the sketchbook in her arms and ran off in the opposite direction.
Knowing that the two men had come from the main road, Vivian's only escape route was into the
woods behind her.
She knew that it was not a good place to hide from them, but there was nothing else she could do in
such dire circumstances.
...
Vivian had barely eaten anything these days, so she ran out of strength very quickly. She had just run
into the woods when the two men caught up to her.
Green Hair caught her by her hand. In a panic, Vivian threw the sketchbook at him.
Green Hair cursed when the sketchbook hit his face and let go of her hand, but just then, Slanted Eyes
pounced on Vivian and pushed her onto the ground.
"Come one, sweetie, stop pretending and just play with us," Slanted Eyes said. "We'll feed you and
take good care of you." His disgusting voice made Vivian want to puke.
Still, she was unable to free herself from him.
"No! Leave me alone! H-Help! Help—" Vivian's cries for help quickly got muffled as Green Hair covered
her mouth with his hands.
Vivian's eyes gradually filled with despair as she stared at the two powerful men in front of her.
No, she didn't want this!
"Brother Chow, save me!" she thought.
There was nothing else she could do other than to silently plead in her heart.
Just as Vivian was starting to run out of strength to struggle anymore, she suddenly felt the weight lifted C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.
off from her back.
Thud!
Thud!
She heard the sound of two heavy objects hitting the ground.
Vivian opened her eyes and saw the two men lying on the ground next to her.
"What the f*ck? Who did that?" Green Hair said as he cursed loudly. He turned around to face his
attacker.
The person was tall and slim, about a whole head taller than Green Hair and Slanted Eyes.
Even with short, boyish hair, the newcomer's face was clean, bare, and pretty, adding to the overall
beauty of the person.
"Aww, it's another beautiful little lady," Green Hair said. "You must be a model with this kind of body.
What's the matter? Did you want to play with us—"
Before Green Hair could finish his sentence, he was sent flying into the lake with a heavy kick.
Splash!
Green Hair disappeared amongst the splashes.
Slanted Eyes was shocked only for a while before the lewd glint in his eyes grew brighter. "Ah, feisty. I
love feisty little girls like you."
The person's eyes darkened as soon as she heard how Slanted Eyes addressed her.
Vivian wasn't even sure what happened next because just a second later, Slanted Eyes had been
punched to the ground once more.
Thud, thud! Slanted Eyes let out a muffled cry and spat out a mouthful of blood.
In the end, neither one of them managed to escape the fate of being thrown into the lake.
The lake was rather shallow in this part of the woods. The water was only up to their waist.
However, it was still an unpleasant experience for both of them since they were still fully clothed and
had scratches all over their bodies.
They finally realised that they were no match for this 'feisty little beauty'.
They said nothing else as they helped each other out of the water and hurriedly limped back where
they came from.
Vivian couldn't believe that she actually managed to escape unhurt.
She stared at the two men's disappearing silhouettes, completely forgetting that she was still lying on
the ground in the dirt.
The 'beauty' snorted triumphantly as she watched the men run off higgledy-piggledy. She then bent
down to pick up Vivian's sketchbook from the ground.
The sketchbook had landed on the page where Vivian had drawn the portrait of Chow. Of course, she
saw the drawing too.
When her eyes landed on the sketch, her eyes flashed in recognition. She closed the sketchbook and
pointed her chin at Vivian. "What's your name?"
"W-What?" Vivian was stunned.
The person's eyes flashed impatiently. "I'm your saviour. Don't you think I deserve to know your name?"
It was only then that Vivian came to her senses. She quickly got up from the ground and bowed deeply
to the person. "Thank you very much! Thank you! M-My name is Vivian. You can just call me that."
"Vivian?" The person slowly rolled her name on the tip of her tongue. A vague emotion flashed in her
eyes as the corner of her mouth curled up slightly.
Vivian nodded and went up to her to get her sketchbook back. "Thank you so much, miss! I-I don't
know—"
Before she could even finish her sentence, the person's face darkened immediately. She approached
dangerously close to Vivian. "What did you just call me?"
What?
Vivian suddenly realised that the person's voice was too deep to belong to a woman.
"Oh—" The next moment, the person suddenly lowered his head and kissed Vivian's lips aggressively.
Vivian hadn't even managed to react before she was kissed like that. She tensed up immediately.
But the next moment, she finally collected her senses and pushed him away. She spat on the ground
and wiped her mouth forcefully. "You... you..."
The man sneered. "What about me? How dare you mistake the gender of your saviour? I was just
letting you know for sure."
He could have just told her nicely instead of doing this to her. Besides, who the hell would do
something like this when they only just met each other for the first time?
Vivian was so angry that her eyes turned red, but she didn't know how to retaliate.
The man narrowed his eyes and looked again at the direction in which the two men had left. "I hate it
the most when people confuse me for a woman. You should be grateful that you're a girl because I
don't hit girls."
What he just said made Vivian think of the two men who had suffered his fate just now. She
immediately broke out in cold sweat.
"I... I'm sorry, but still, you s-shouldn't..." Vivian felt herself flushing.
Her lips had been kissed by someone who was not Chow.
If this man hadn't saved her life just now, she'd probably have slapped him right across the face.
The man's lips curled up again in a smirk. It made him look extremely sinister.
He approached Vivian and said in a low voice, "Don't you think that it's an honour to be kissed by me?"
Vivian was so scared that she took a couple more steps back. It was obvious from her pale face that
she did not think it was an honour at all.
The man's conceited smile suddenly disappeared and he let out a snort. "It seems like you don't agree
with me."
This man was a very strange person.
Vivian grasped the sketchbook in her hand. "I-I'm really grateful for your help earlier," she whispered.
"Thank you? Is that all I'm getting? Just a simple 'thank you'?" A hint of playfulness appeared in the
man's eyes.
Vivian was speechless.
How could she repay him for saving his life with just a few simple words?
But she had nothing to give him. She was even still a guest at someone else's house. What could she
ever do to repay him?
Vivian's cheeks gradually turned red. She looked at the man at a loss. "W-what do you want?"
The man gave her a once-over and curled his thin lips in disdain. "Well, I believe the old way of
repaying favours is by giving yourself to me in marriage. You're far beneath my level, but I will still
reluctantly accept your offer."
As he spoke, he reached out and pinched Vivian's cheek. He looked into the deepest depths of Vivian's
eyes with a sinister expression on his face. "Vivian, from now on, you are my girlfriend."
Giving herself to him in marriage to repay the favour?
Vivian widened her eyes in shock and looked at the man helplessly.
Did he even know what he was saying?
Wasn't this just the first time they met each other?
"Excuse me, sir, can you please stop kidding?"
"I'm not kidding," the man interrupted her quickly and laughed. "My name is Joker. Don't forget. You
now belong to me."
While saying that, Joker put his hand directly into Vivian's coat pocket to take out her phone, typed in
his number, and pressed the dial button.
Very quickly, the phone in his pocket started buzzing loudly.
Joker hung up the phone and put it back in her pocket. "I will bring you out for dates in the future, but I
won't be sending you home today. I've got other things to do."
With that, Joker turned and walked out of the woods.
Vivian stared at him blankly. She really didn't know how she should respond to his sudden 'love
confession'.
She just couldn't keep up with what the man was thinking.
