"Un...."
As Fang Li was walking towards the counter, he noticed something strange behind him. He turned around and looked in the direction of Sakura Airi.
As a result, Fang Li saw it.
What he saw was Sakura Airi standing there, frozen like a statue, as if she was stuck in quicksand and unable to move her feet.
But it was more than just standing still.
Upon closer inspection, Fang Li saw a strong sense of fear and timidity in Sakura Airi's eyes, which were fixed on the direction of the counter.
"What's wrong?"
Fang Li frowned and looked back towards the counter.
And there, he saw a store clerk staring at them.
Fang Li's frown deepened upon seeing this.
That was a middle-aged male clerk.
The person on the other side seemed to be a counter staff at this electronics store, wearing the uniform of the store, seemingly responsible for accepting customers' requests, so he stood behind the counter.
However, that clerk was staring at them with an indescribable expression.
What kind of expression was it?
In short, it was an aggressive look.
Cloudy and filthy, as if craving for something, that look on his face made Fang Li furrow his brows.
By now, Fang Li has met all sorts of people.
Among them, there were cruel and cold-blooded people.
Among them, there were kind and gentle people.
Some people were as strong-willed as Horikita Suzune.
Some were as reserved as Ayanokouji Kiyotaka.
He has even encountered arrogant individuals like Kouenji Rokusuke, who considered themselves superior to everyone else.
Naturally, Fang Li has also encountered those who were very despicable and ugly, who exhibited the desires of human nature in all its glory.
Having seen so many people, Fang Li has long been accustomed to not being influenced by others, and no matter what kind of existence he faced, he could remain calm.
However, the look in this clerk's eyes, although it didn't affect Fang Li's emotions, still made him feel uncomfortable.
More importantly, Fang Li knew who that clerk was looking at with such eyes.
He was staring at Sakura Airi.
As if he had seen the object of his dreams, that clerk revealed the colors of madness, greed, encroachment, and defilement as he stared at Sakura Airi.
And, he even completely ignored Fang Li.
"Do you need any help?"
The middle-aged shop assistant spoke directly to Sakura Airi, looking past the person standing in front of him, Fang Li.
His voice not only gave off a sleazy feeling, but also had a neurotic quality that made people want to keep their distance.
"Aah..."
Sakura Airi couldn't help but take a step back.
Fear and terror flashed across her face, the clerk actually did not feel that he had acted intimidating to others, he continued to grin in a way that made him seem even more sleazy and neurotic.
Watching Sakura Airi tremble, the shop assistant seemed oblivious to the fact that his behavior was scaring her. It was as if he were watching a commemorative event, and he continued to smile.
This made Sakura Airi's hands tremble slightly.
For someone as shy as she was, the shop assistant's behavior was terrifying.
However, the shop assistant seemed to want to say something to Sakura Airi.
If Fang Li had not stand out.
"I'm sorry, it's me who has something to do."
Fang Li stepped forward and shielded Sakura Airi behind him.
He also shielded her from the shop assistant's invasive gaze.
"Huh?"
The shop assistant seemed to wake up from a dream and looked up at Fang Li.
What he saw was Fang Li's calm and deep gaze, which was completely different from his own gaze, which was full of desire.
Fang Li calmly met the shop assistant's gaze.
"Can I get my electronics repaired here?" Fang Li narrowed his eyes and said, "I need you to fix this digital camera."
After saying this, Fang Li placed the digital camera he was holding on the counter.
His tone was unwavering, which made the shop assistant feel a bit scared.
However, the shop assistant couldn't stop looking at Sakura Airi, who was standing behind Fang Li.
"Um..."
Sakura Airi tightly closed her eyes, as if she didn't want to see the store clerk anymore. For the first time, she took the initiative to approach Fang Li and reached out to grab the hem of his uniform.
Fang Li could feel Sakura Airi's hand, which was trembling constantly.
Perhaps her fear had reached an alarming level?
Unfortunately, the store clerk kept glancing back and forth between Fang Li and Sakura Airi, holding a digital camera and nervously asking,
"Whose thing is this? Is it yours or hers?"
The clerk made this inquiry with a tone mixed with anticipation and excitement, but it was still aimed at Sakura Airi, who was hiding behind Fang Li, not Fang Li himself.
"I...I..." Sakura Airi wanted to answer, but her voice trembled, and she couldn't make a complete reply.
"Whose is it exactly? Whose is it?"
The store clerk asked in an excited and intimidating tone, as if trying to get closer to Sakura Airi's face.
Until...
"This is mine."
When this sentence reached the clerk's ears, the digital camera in his hand was taken away by a hand.
Naturally, Fang Li was the one who took the camera.
While the store clerk was stunned, Fang Li gave a cold remark.
"But now, I don't want it repaired."
After speaking, Fang Li grabbed Sakura Airi's hand, which was holding onto his uniform, and walked in the direction of the store's exit, while Sakura Airi was still in shock.
"Wait...wait!"
The store clerk was surprised and quickly called out to Fang Li.
Fang Li stopped and slowly turned around.
A daunting gleam flashed in his eyes as he gazed at the store clerk.
"Eee!"
Who was frightened by his gaze and stepped back with a cry.
In the face of the store clerk's fearful expression, Fang Li continued to pull Sakura Airi, who had not yet responded, towards the store's exit.
It wasn't long before Fang Li and Sakura Airi left the electronics store.
The store clerk finally recovered his senses.
His frightened expression gradually gave way to a nervous one.
"Shizuku...Shizuku..."
The store clerk murmured the name like a sleepwalker.
The scene was truly unpleasant.
However, Fang Li didn't know the reason for why the store clerk treated Sakura Airi in this way until later.
This was because it involved a secret that belonged only to Sakura Airi, a secret that no one in the school knew about.
