บท 60: Feng Ru (18)

Suddenly, a hysterical shout echoed out. "LOOK UP! SOMETHING IS FALLING!"

Tang Lan went to Ming Ruo's side to pull her away. Gu Feng tried doing the same to his still frozen brother, but before he could arrive on his side, the sharp, almost unseen object already fell onto Gu Cheng. The police officer didn't reach the other on time. Sounds of glasses breaking and shards making contact with the ground reverberated.

The next seconds that followed seemed to be something straight out of a slow-mo movie. No one was making any noise. Everyone was holding their breaths. This lasted for quite a while until it was broken by a sharp, shrill, ear-splitting scream.

"AAHHHHHHHH!"

It was feminine. And more like a scream of shock than pain. The voice was from Na Yu. The girl suddenly went behind Jiang Li after that shriek. Curiously, she was covering her eyes, like she saw something very frightening, or disgusting.

Some passersby and bystanders initially flocked over assuming there would be a brawl. When another round of screams came from them, the male music student could no longer stop rolling his eyes.

He clicked his tongue and grunted. 'Tch, I thought she'd at least have the damn arm cut into two... What a letdown.'

There was no blood spilled or limbs twisted beyond human comprehension anywhere. Jiang Li felt that it quite was boring. The guy must be remembering some of the horrendous sights he witnessed from his Original world and comparing it to the one in front.

However, while this was what he had in mind, many others around them were screaming, mostly the girls. Most of the boys, on the other hand, were sporting an amused expression.

One from the latter group was actually laughing because it was his first time to do a livestream yet his page was already overflowing with thumbs up and comments. He felt that even though the fight did not happen, what his phone's camera captured was actually way more interesting than that. He was starting to think that he was a genius for recording everything and not simply passing by. Look, even the other witnesses' reactions were so entertaining to the viewers!

"Aaaahhhhh! So shameless! Hubby! There's a damn street exhibitionist!" shouted a rich madam who covered her eyes only to peek through the gaps between her fingers.

"Good Lord, I see a windowpane falling from the skies. While it thankfully did not harm anybody, it's a puzzle how it fell upright and then cut somebody's pants. I-I'm so speechless. I, I don't know how to properly describe what my two eyes saw!"

"Auntie, it's probably divine intervention! How else would that sharp-edged glass only cut the lower garments so it will fall down and reveal an ugly something? Waaaaaahhhhhhhhh!!! My eyes have been tainted! The memories will forever stay in my mind! I can't be married anymore!" A teenage girl threw a bottle of water at Gu Cheng.

"Damn flasher! Damn pervert! I hope he gets struck by lightning!"

"Yeah, the shamelessness showed by this young man is one of the main reasons why our society's morality is degrading."

"Uhhh, where did that sharp thing come from by the way?"

"Lols, the restaurant is only occupying the first two floors of this building. It must be something that fell off the hinge of one of the apartment windows' upstairs."

"I see. But wow. How mysterious that it precisely tore that guy's pants and briefs. It's like a work of a bored and playful evil god!"

So many similar comments flooded Gu Cheng's ears. The issue with Na Yu was long gone in his head.

And he was very ashamed. He felt so pathetic. But what made him more pathetic and helpless was that no matter how hard his brother pulled him away there, he still couldn't move!

Swearing in mind all the profanities he knew, he wanted to ask the heavens, how long does he need to endure this embarrassing situation? Why can't the ground just crack open and swallow him down?
