Following Big Dragon and Er Long, they arrived at a restaurant and ordered a table full of dishes. Su Peijiu had just picked up her chopsticks.
Big Dragon had already downed a large cup of alcohol and stood up, slightly tipsy, saying, "Great! Today our Azure Dragon Gang has finally gained a new member, making it three of us! Congratulations!"
"Brother is wise!" Er Long filled Big Dragon's cup again.
Su Peijiu suddenly felt like she had jumped into a pit... "You two are the Azure Dragon Gang?"
Big Dragon looked disapproving. "You're one of us now, but you still don't know the sister's name since the beginning. We're all brothers and sisters in the same gang now, so hurry up and introduce yourself."
Looking at the table full of dishes and feeling her stomach rumble with desire, Su Peijiu decided to go with the flow. She reached out and grabbed a big chicken leg, biting into it while mumbling, "I’m called Ge." After all, she was poor and ugly; there was nothing to be afraid of.
"Good, good! Ge is a nice name. From now on, your big brother Second Brother will look after you. If anything happens, just tell your brothers," Big Dragon poured himself another drink and then served some dishes into Su Peijiu's bowl.
Su Peijiu was stunned... Since her rebirth, she had been beaten, insulted, and treated with indifference. Now, these two thugs she had never met were being so nice to her... But could she still trust anyone?
She should be able to... After all, she had no way out and nothing to cling to now. Even if she was deceived, what could it hurt?
"Thank you... Big Brother."
When they had eaten most of the food, Er Long leaned over mysteriously and asked Su Peijiu, "Ge, how's your stamina?"
Su Peijiu paused for a moment before shaking her head. "I'm quite weak; I get dizzy after just a few steps."
"Is that so? I'll carry you on my back later." After finishing this sentence, Er Long returned to his seat, leaving Su Peijiu in a daze.
Could it be... A drop of sweat trickled down Su Peijiu's forehead.
Sure enough, when the waiter who had been watching them turned to serve other customers, Big Dragon shot a glance at Er Long, who immediately picked up Su Peijiu from the chair and jumped out of the second-floor window, running several streets away amidst the shouts and curses from below.
After setting Su Peijiu down, Er Long leaned against the wall, breathing lightly: "She felt as light as a cloud."
Hearing this, Big Dragon came over and patted Su Peijiu on the shoulder: "Don't worry, from now on, your big brother Second Brother will ensure you have a good life."
Recalling the fierce look from the waiter earlier, a shy smile appeared on Su Peijiu's face... She was so afraid that such a good life would lead to her being beaten to death by the shopkeeper.
"Alright, Er Long, take today's money to Zhuzi's mother. If she's sick, she needs to see a doctor quickly," Big Dragon instructed Er Long and then gestured for Su Peijiu to follow him.
Watching Er Long leave, Su Peijiu's doubts deepened; it seemed these two ruffians were somewhat different.
"Big Brother, why do you want to rob people?" Su Peijiu asked aloud. "You shouldn't be that kind of person."
"Life forces us to do things, but your big brother never robs the poor," Big Dragon quickly explained when he saw the questioning look on Su Peijiu's face. "It's because you were swaying while walking and looked pale and weak. There was a thief not far behind you watching, so I and Er Long went over to prevent any accidents. But suddenly I was afraid you'd think we were bad people, so..."
You guys look just like bad people! Su Peijiu covered her throbbing temples; could there really be such kind-hearted ruffians in this world? Was she approaching things all wrong?
"Don't worry, your big brother Second Brother is definitely not a bad person. We're just going out to collect some fees from those wealthy merchants to support this whole family living here..." Big Dragon pushed open the door and walked in. Only then did Su Peijiu see that there was another world deep in the alley filled with many people, most of whom were elderly or disabled. They all looked very happy to see Big Dragon return.
Su Peijiu felt that she could no longer stay here. The people treated her too well, softening her heart that originally wanted to despise the world. Perhaps she didn't need to think of human hearts as so complex and terrifying, but unfortunately, the era she lived in did not allow her to think otherwise.
"Big Brother, I have something to do, so I’ll leave first." She hurriedly said this, giving a kind nod of apology to the people in the garden before planning to leave.
Er Long chased after her: "Ge, Second Brother will see you off."
As they approached the Prime Minister's Residence, Su Peijiu tightened her hands: "Second Brother, I'm almost there; you can go back now."
Er Long nodded and smiled: "Then Second Brother will leave now."
Watching Er Long's disappearing figure, Su Peijiu finally breathed a sigh of relief.
She shouldn't think of human hearts as so complicated. She could accept their kindness, but she had no right to drag them into her dirty world... She, who crawled up from hell, had no right to live happily.
