"Aren't you asking me to accompany you? Get in the car?"
Xia Weilan was still in a daze. "Don't you have business to attend to?"
"The business has been postponed. Get in," Mo Beichen said, a flicker of a smile crossing his face.
Hearing this, Xia Weilan's heart leaped with joy. She got into the car. After fastening her seat - belt, she suddenly remembered that Ruili was still waiting for her in the mall. So she said to Mo Beichen:
"Ruili is waiting for me in the mall now."
Mo Beichen frowned and immediately made a call. "I've booked Weilan for today. How about I send Nan Fengyan to accompany you?"
Without knowing what was said on the other end, Mo Beichen simply hung up the phone and said to Xia Weilan, "We don't have to worry about them. Nan Fengyan is already with Ruili."
Xia Weilan was shocked. "What's wrong with Nan Fengyan lately? Is he a stalker?"
"Leave their business alone. I'll take you to a nice place," Mo Beichen said, looking at her warmly. Then he stepped on the accelerator and the car sped off.
"This doesn't seem right. I'll call Ruili," Xia Weilan said worriedly.
"He may seem unreliable, but he's actually a kind - hearted person. Don't worry. He won't dare to bully Ruili, nor does he have the ability to," Mo Beichen said as he turned on the music. Instantly, a touch of classical romance filled the car.
Xia Weilan stopped dwelling on it. She leaned back on the seat comfortably, watching the car speed like a lightning bolt past the suburbs outside the window. She immediately felt refreshed.
Before long, the car stopped at the foot of a mountain.
Xia Weilan got out of the car first. Mo Beichen drove the car into a nearby parking lot.
Not far from Xia Weilan, a ragged beggar was sitting by the road, right where tourists would pass by.
Xia Weilan couldn't help but take a few more glances at the beggar. She thought that when Mo Beichen came out, she would go and help him. It could be regarded as doing a good deed on her birthday.
But after waiting for a while, Xia Weilan squinted her eyes. The lame beggar, as if tired of sitting, suddenly stood up to stretch his body. When he saw another group of people coming, he sat down again.
Seeing this, anger suddenly welled up in Xia Weilan's heart.
This beggar was obviously a fraud pretending to be disabled.
"What are you looking at?" Mo Beichen didn't know when he had stood beside her. He also looked in the direction of her gaze and saw the beggar sitting on the ground. He thought Xia Weilan was feeling pity:
"There are often beggars begging here. If you feel sorry for him, let's go and help him."
Mo Beichen today just wanted to make the beauty happy, so he was very easy - going.
The two walked up to the beggar together. The beggar looked in his early twenties. His face was painted black, showing a pair of shrewd eyes. When he saw Xia Weilan and Mo Beichen, who were well - dressed, his eyes lit up. He immediately picked up the stick beside him and knocked on the board in front of him.
Xia Weilan followed his movement and looked at the sign, which read "Disabled Person".
"Please, kind - hearted people, help me. I haven't had a full meal for two days," the beggar said. His tone was extremely simple.
At this time, a tour group had come over and stopped by the road to rest. They also looked over.
"How did you hurt your leg?" Xia Weilan squatted down, her tone calm.
"I was just unlucky. There was a collapse when I was mining coal. I couldn't walk when I was rescued," the beggar said, performing emotionally. "The contractor of the construction site refused to compensate me and kicked me out."
"What? How could there be such a heartless thing!" A tourist, filled with indignation, walked over.
"Little brother, I have some money here. Take it," the tourist said as he took out a few hundred - yuan bills from his pocket. But Xia Weilan stopped his hand in mid - air.
"Don't be in a hurry to give it."
When the beggar saw Xia Weilan's action, his eyes flickered. He moved his body but didn't stand up.
Mo Beichen beside him squinted his eyes. He could tell at a glance that the beggar's leg was fine.
"Since you're so pitiful, I'll call the police for you," Xia Weilan said as she picked up her phone.
"Don't!" the beggar shouted in panic, but Xia Weilan ignored him and really made the call.
"What's wrong with you? Did I ask you to call the police for me?" The beggar jumped up in a hurry and reached out to grab Xia Weilan's phone. But just as he was about to touch Xia Weilan, Mo Beichen's strong hand grabbed his wrist.
"Dare to touch her and see what happens!"
All these changes happened so fast. The tourist stared with wide eyes, looking at this scene in disbelief, as if he had seen a ghost. He was dumbfounded. "You, aren't you lame?"
"It's obvious. He's just pretending," several tourists in the same group immediately surrounded them.
"Let me go quickly," the beggar said, looking nervously at the surrounding crowd and struggling desperately.
Xia Weilan put down her phone and said coldly, "I've already called the police. Just wait for the legal sanctions."
Hearing this, panic appeared on the beggar's face. At this moment, Mo Beichen let go of his hand and led Xia Weilan out of the encirclement. Behind them, the beggar was still surrounded by a group of people. Angry voices of the tourists came from inside.
"You can't leave! How dare you deceive me!"
"Have you no conscience? I'm just trying to make a living. Let me go quickly!" the beggar said in panic.
However, no one listened to him. Soon, the sound of a police siren came.
At this time, Mo Beichen had already led Xia Weilan to the entrance of a large building. "Don't worry about it. We're here to have fun today. Don't ruin the fun."
Xia Weilan had been looking back at the situation there. Hearing this, she curbed her curiosity a bit and followed Mo Beichen inside.
The two were led by the manager to a large training ground. In front of Xia Weilan were countless bows and arrows, and not far away were round targets.
"I know you've never played this before, so I wanted to bring you here," Mo Beichen said. He picked up a bow and arrow himself and put it in Xia Weilan's hand, teaching her to get into position.
At first, Xia Weilan had no idea how to play. But Mo Beichen taught her very patiently. He kept holding her waist and whispering some notes in her ear. Gradually, Xia Weilan found the trick.
"Bang!" Xia Weilan shot an arrow by herself and hit the target for the first time. At that moment, Xia Weilan finally felt a sense of pleasure and became even more serious.
Before she knew it, Xia Weilan's face was full of excitement. Her cheeks were rosy like a delicate flower. And Mo Beichen beside her forgot everything. He just quietly watched her figure, and his heart was filled with joy.
