“Know your place and get out. Don’t waste my time.” She opened the wooden door and casually kicked off her shoes.
She was used to such uninvited guests. Living in a run-down apartment came with such troubles. The doorknob lock was more symbolic than functional, but the low rent could make up for these inconveniences.
“But now, I’ve discovered a treasure,” the burly man moistened his lips, looking at her lecherously. “Though you don’t have much meat, at least I’ll have some gain tonight.”
She was too familiar with the message in his eyes. She had seen too many like him and hated them intensely. Her palm itched, wanting to beat him thoroughly and unleash all her anger on him.
Unfortunately, he didn’t know disaster was imminent and approached, cornering her against the wall.
Xiao Chu raised an eyebrow. “I’m warning you, I’m not easy to mess with.”
The burly man’s response was to lift her up, pin her against the wall with his left hand, wearing a triumphant sneer.
“Warning you again, I wasn’t raised to be scared,” she said. Though her feet were off the ground, she clenched her fists, her sharp nails digging into her palm—definitely a deadly weapon.
The burly man, blinded by lust, said, “Say more, and women who aren’t fierce enough aren’t fun to play with.”
Xiao Chu’s eyes sharpened. “You said it.”
In the next second, just as he was about to tear her shirt, the burly man’s face was suddenly scratched by a cat-like claw.
The sudden sharp pain made him instinctively close his eyes.
Swish! Xiao Chu, now with free hands, wildly attacked his exposed areas—neck, arms, face—leaving scratch marks that drew cries of pain.
“You dare to touch me?” She scratched with each word, drawing blood. “I just wanted to come back and rest. I kindly advised you to leave early, but you’ve wasted my sleep time and dared to treat me like a sick cat?”
“Stop, stop!” The burly man covered his head in pain. “I’ll go, I’m leaving right now!”
“Now you want to leave? You’re seeking death! Tell me, what other part of you is itching? I’ll help you scratch it!” Xiao Chu was wildly fierce.
