Ding Nan screamed subconsciously.
The man quickly ran to her and threw her to the ground. As she cried, she instinctively raised the Paradiso Umbrella in her right hand and hit the man's head. In the few minutes she lay on the ground, she could clearly see that in the residential building just one wall away, all the lights in the houses closest to her were on, but no one opened the windows and stuck their heads out to see what was happening outside.
It was drizzling past ten o'clock in the early autumn suburbs. It was as quiet as death. Her cry for help was so shrill that it was impossible for the people in the building not to hear it. At that moment, she deeply experienced the coldness of the world.
Fortunately, when the man heard her non-stop screams, he was so scared that he stopped. He got up and stood there, mumbling,"I didn't mean to scare you. I just wanted to ask you about the time.”
She got up in shock and said with a sobbing tone,"Ask me about the time? Why didn't you ask when I passed by you?”
"You can leave. I won't scare you anymore." the man said.
She put away the umbrella that had been bent, turned around, and ran as fast as she could. She did not dare to slow down for even a second, afraid that the man would chase after her again.
In one breath, she ran to the bottom floor of her apartment in the depths of the neighborhood and stumbled up to the fourth floor. With the help of the dim light, she took out the key with trembling hands, opened the door, quickly entered, and slammed the door with all her might.
The two of them were there. When they heard her enter the room, they came out of their respective rooms. As if she had seen her family, she burst into tears and could not stop crying.
"What's wrong? What's wrong? What happened?"
"What happened? Eh, there's mud on your back. Did you fall?"
"I met a hooligan." she sobbed.
"Ah?"
"Is everything alright? Did you suffer any losses?"
"It's nothing. He heard my scream and stopped in fear. He said he just wanted to ask me the time. I didn't understand. When I passed by him, he didn't ask. When I walked more than ten steps away from him, he chased after me and pressed me down. I kept shouting and he stopped." She calmed down a little and told them intermittently. She felt that her thoughts were a little confused.
"It might not be a repeat offender. It was just a spur of the moment.”Rong Xiaozhen thought for a moment and said.
"That makes sense. If it was a repeat offender, he wouldn't let you off so easily.”Ya Jing nodded.
"He was probably just a passerby. When you passed by, he occasionally had evil intentions. When you shouted, he was afraid again. That should be the case."
"Be careful next time. Don't come back so late.”
The next day at work, Ding Nan did not tell Teacher Chen and the other colleagues about this. It was originally nothing, but after a group of people talked about it, the nature might change. It might make her very embarrassed.
She spent the entire day preparing for the next issue, deciding on the topic and calling for an article. The magazine agency required two issues to be done at the same time. Every month, when the current issue was done, the next issue would be prepared. Everyone knew that the monthly magazine was busy and in a hurry.
From time to time, what happened last night flashed through her mind, and she felt scared just thinking about it. In a daze, it was time to get off work again. When she got up to clean up the table, she realized that she had forgotten to send the second draft to the art editor in the design office.
"Crazy!" She muttered, picked up the manuscript, and quickly walked to the design office.
The two male art editors were still there. They were also packing their things and preparing to get off work.
"Little Liu, I've really seen a ghost. I forgot to give you the second draft last night. Aiya, I'm really going crazy." She said to the male editor, who was usually on good terms with her.
"What are you thinking about?" Liu Fang, the forthright Shandong young man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, sat back in his office chair and leaned back to look at her.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Let's work overtime and finish it, okay? If I do it tomorrow, the editor-in-chief will eat me up. I don't dare to let him know, or else he'll deduct my bonus again.”As she spoke, she moved a chair and sat down beside Liu Fang.
At around eight o'clock in the evening, the two of them finished editing the script and went to a fast food restaurant for dinner.
"I'll treat you. Don't snatch it from me." Ding Nan said while eating her favorite spicy chicken rice.
"I never let women treat me to food and drinks.”Liu Fang said as he poured vinegar into his hot and sour noodles.
"Ha, you're quite a man."
"How's your work at the editor's side recently? Are you busy?"
"Of course, I'm not as free as you art editors. I'm going crazy working on two drafts at the same time. The magazine agency is really not a place for people to stay. I'll change to another job tomorrow. There's no need to rush.”
"It's the same everywhere.”
"That's true, ha."
"How's it going with your girlfriend? I haven't seen her waiting for you at work recently.”
"She went to Shanghai on a business trip for a week.”
Ding Nan thought about it as he ate. It would probably be around ten o'clock by the time he got home after dinner. What happened last night was right in front of his eyes. It was so late, and it was hard to guarantee that something similar would not happen.
"Xiao Liu, I worked overtime last night to read the second school's manuscript. When I went back, I met a hooligan.”She hesitated for a moment before telling him.
"What? Are you alright?" Shocked, he put down his chopsticks and stared at her with wide eyes, waiting for her to continue.
"It's nothing. I screamed loudly and he was scared away.”
"That's good. Be careful in the future.”
"Yes, I am. Um…look…it's so late today. Can you accompany me back? I'm afraid I'll encounter hooligans again?"
"Ah?" This time, his eyes widened.
"What are you thinking about? Don't get the wrong idea. I'm saying that if you accompany me back, you can stay with my roommate.”she explained.
"I see. That's not a problem, okay?”
After the meal, when she rushed to pay, Liu Fang pulled her behind him and paid for it himself.
"You're really a Shandong man. It's really an endless blessing for a woman to find someone like you.”She praised him sincerely.
The two of them returned to Ding Nan's place together. She entrusted Liu Fang to Rong Xiaozhen and brought him a blanket. She also told him about the bathroom, water heater, and other cleaning matters. After that, she went back to her room to read an English vocabulary book before taking a shower and going to bed.
The next morning at 6:30 am, she was woken up by the alarm. She immediately got up, got dressed, and was about to wake Liu Fang up when she heard a knock on the door.
She opened the door and saw Liu Fang standing outside. He looked sleepy, but she looked shocked.
"What's wrong? Why are you so early? I was going to call you over." she asked.
"Don't mention it, your friend…I didn't sleep there for the rest of the night. I sat in the living room outside for half the night and heard some movement in your room, so I came to knock on the door.”As Liu Fang spoke, he pushed open her door and went in. He closed the door and sat on the sofa in her room.
"What happened?" She sat on the edge of the bed and looked at him on the sofa opposite her.
"Your friend…he touched me.”He wanted to say something but hesitated. In the end, he stuttered.
"Touch you?" Ding Nan could not react in time.
"Yes, I am." he said, embarrassed.
"Where did I touch you?" She still did not understand.
"Touch me…touch my sensitive parts.”He found it hard to say anything after she asked him that.
"Touch you…Touch your sensitive area?”She glanced at his lower body, indicating for him to confirm. She was sometimes naive and slow, and she never believed in messy and abnormal things.
"Yes, I am."
"Crazy! Heavens, what's going on?"
"He touched me several times. I couldn't sleep anymore, so I got up and went to the living room to sit down.”
"Don't be anxious, don't be anxious. Don't misunderstand him. Tell me the details."
"Aren't we both covered with a blanket? Not long after we turned off the lights and went to sleep, his hand reached into my blanket and touched me. I moved my body and dodged it, but after ten minutes, he reached out again. Just like that, he did it three to four times in one night.”
"Could he be sleepwalking? Or was he dreaming? Accidentally?" When she asked that question, she actually didn't understand exactly what sleepwalking was. She only felt that people wouldn't be awake when they sleepwalked.
"No, I just fell asleep not long ago. It's impossible for me to fall asleep. I feel that he is very clear-headed."
"Could it be that he mistook you for his wife in his daze? I subconsciously reached out my hand."
"How is that possible? Why would you ask that? I don't think that's possible. The organs of men and women were different, and the feeling was also different.”
The two of them were depressed for a while, then hurriedly washed up and went to work.
Later, she couldn't help but tell Jing about it. When the two of them discussed it, Jing also looked puzzled and said,"I heard that there are such people overseas. I've never heard anyone around me mention such a thing before.”
At that time, Ding Nan did not know the term " bisexual man ", or perhaps the term had not come out at that time. She only vaguely knew that there seemed to be such a man in this world who was interested in both men and women. From unofficial history, she knew that the Qianlong and gentry in history were such men, but the real situation was unknown.
From then on, when she looked at Rong Xiaozhen, she always felt strange, but Rong looked at her without any abnormality. Sometimes, she found it strange and suspected that Liu Fang was lying. However, based on her intuition and understanding of Liu Fang, she felt that Liu Fang was not lying. Rong Xiaozhen was the so-called bisexual man now.
