Little Phoenix.

Half past two in the morning.

The night is silent, and the street lights are dim.

A man, to be precise, a man who is almost completely naked. At this time, he was walking drunkenly in the shadow of the tree on the side of the road.

The man is tall and tall.

He wears only a pair of dark boxer briefs. His appearance was not clear under the dim street lamp, but his hair was vaguely cut short. Occasionally looking up, those black eyes were as sharp as eagles, bright and terrifying in the night.

At this time, a night taxi came rapidly from north to south. Hearing the sound of the car, the man took a few steps forward and raised his hand to call for a car.

The taxi slowed down, and the headlights hit the man, stabbing him so hard that he couldn't open his eyes. He subconsciously reached out to his forehead to block the bright headlights.

Who knows, before the man could speak, the driver poked his head out of the driver's seat window and scolded him loudly, "!" Neurotic! He stepped on the accelerator and roared away.

Mu Zhengyao failed to take a taxi again, his face was cold, and his eyes were even colder.

In fact, he also understands that no one wants to carry a young man who is unclothed and strong in the middle of the night.

He looked in the direction of the long-lost taxi, stood there for a few seconds, then turned and walked back onto the greenway under the trees.

His gaze swept more sharply over the shops on both sides of the road, hoping that one of them would still be lit. However, no. Every storefront was closed and pitch black.

He walked on for a while, and out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of an extremely faint light across the street, sticking to the ground and peeking through the crack in the door.

Mu Zhengyao's eyes lit up suddenly, stopped, his eyes narrowed slightly, looked at the wooden plaque on the small shop across the road, and said softly: "Nishang Pavilion......"

****

Su Wu was ironing clothes in front of a garment steamer, she was alone in the store, busy from the evening to the present, repairing threads, ironing, and putting them on the shelves...... It had exhausted her to the point of collapse.

She already had a cold, and at this time, for her, even the unpleasant "snoring" of the garment steamer had turned into a gentle lullaby calling her to fall asleep quickly.

She took a nap and was scalded by the steam of the garment steamer, and a small piece of red on the back of her hand immediately turned red, and she "hissed" and inhaled two breaths of pain.

"I'm not sleepy now." Su Wu glanced at the red marks on the back of his hand, smiled bitterly, continued the movements on his hands, and did not forget to talk to himself to cheer himself, "Su Wu! Hold on a little longer. The last few pieces are about to be ironed. It's hard to catch up with a 'May Day' holiday, and there are many people who come to the ancient city to travel......"

At this moment, the metal anti-theft roller shutter door was pushed up at once. The sudden noise startled her.

Su Wu raised his head and looked at the door.

Then she saw a man, a tall and straight man, standing straight in front of her shop.

The man has broad shoulders and narrow waist, and slender limbs. The muscles on his body are bulging, the smooth lines are tensile and powerful, and the legs are long and straight. His facial features were deep and handsome, and his long dark and narrow eyes were even sharper, and he was frowning in her direction.

It's just that...... Why would this man show up in her shop in the middle of the night wearing only a pair of boxer briefs?

Su Wu was a little confused.

She remembered that she had locked the door from the inside.

She was stunned for more than ten seconds before she realized "Ah——! He screamed, took a few steps back, and shrank into the corner.

She aimed the garment steamer in her hand in the direction of Mu Zhengyao, and her voice trembled slightly: "Don't come here!" Stay back! I'm a small shop, and the money I sold today is in the drawer at the bar at the door, and I'll give it to you...... You take the money and hurry away, I promise you...... I didn't see you...... I will never call the police......"

In the end, Su Wu was already crying.

Although the people of the small town are simple and the law and order is very good, there have been no murders of a bad nature for many years. However, it cannot be ruled out that this strong man, who looks dangerous, is a robber or other criminal. Otherwise, what would he do in one of her women's clothing stores without wearing clothes in the middle of the night?

Mu Zhengyao frowned and listened, and then he understood that this girl regarded him as a robber. He chuckled inwardly, his long dark eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked at the girl inside.

Through the hazy steam emitted by the garment steamer, he couldn't see what the girl in the corner looked like, but the slender figure gave him an inexplicable sense of familiarity for no reason.

Although at this moment she was so frightened that she was leaning against the wall, shivering, and could barely hold the garment steamer in her hand. But in this case, she could still pretend to be calm and say those words in one breath, and he chuckled in his heart again.

It's kind of a smart one.

Mu Zhengyao did not answer the girl's words. Since the girl was preconceived and regarded him as a criminal in a burglary, he didn't bother to explain. Looking away from Su Wu's body, Mu Zhengyao quickly glanced around the store.

This is a women's clothing store.

About 20 square meters, the lighting is soft, and the decoration is simple but classical and elegant. The clothes are mostly retro casual style with cotton and linen texture. With his height and size, he could barely wear the large black athleisure suit hanging on the north wall.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Su Wu was even more scared in his heart. She muttered to herself: It can't be a psychotic or a perverted exhibitionist, right?

Thinking of this, Su Wu's hands trembled even more, and tears rolled in his eyes. She wouldn't be so unlucky to meet some kind of psychopathic killer on TV, right? Or the more brutal kind of rape and then kill, and then kill after abuse?!

Su Wu's tears finally burst out of her eyes, her legs were as weak as two cooked noodles, and she didn't even have the strength to stand.

At this moment, the man spoke: "I don't want money. ”

The low and clear voice came coldly into Su Wu's ears, making her heart tremble.

He said he didn't want money......

"That'...... So what do you want? Su Wu choked up and asked in a low voice.

Then she saw that the man slowly raised his arm and pointed in her direction......

Su Wu only felt a chill down his spine, the pores all over his body tensed, and his heart seemed to stop beating in an instant.

However, the man's arm slowly rose past her position at this point, pointing to the loose version of the unisex cotton black casual suit above her head.

"I want this outfit." Mu Zhengyao said.

Su Wu was slightly stunned for a second, tears flowing, and there was a feeling that he had just walked around the ghost gate and came back.

She didn't say a word, quickly picked up the clothes pole and picked the clothes off the wall, and picked them out to Mu Zhengyao tremblingly from a long distance.

Su Wu clearly felt that his hands were trembling, and his entire arm was numb.

When Mu Zhengyao reached out to take it, Su Wu was so frightened that he didn't even hold the clothes pick pole in his hand, and fell to the ground with a "click". She didn't bother to pick it up, so she quickly retreated to the corner of the wall, staring at Mu Zhengyao with wide eyes and wariness.
