<h4>Chapter 673: Little Fourth Is Lost</h4>


    She held onto Little Fourth as she headed out.


    ...


    Xia Xiaofu did not dare go to the big supermarket. She was afraid that others would recognize her and stir up unnecessary trouble, so she wore a cap and sunsses and drove to a smaller and more secluded supermarket. She parked the car and brought Little Fourth in to buy groceries.


    There was a promotional event by the door of the supermarket. There were many people gathered around. Xia Xiaofu saw a doll that was very beautiful. She squeezed forward and asked, “How much is this?”


    “This is not for sale...” The salesperson exined the sale to Xia Xiaofu.


    Xia Xiaofu listened to her very seriously. In her mind, she bought the promotional item before hugging the doll in her embrace feeling satisfied.


    “Let’s go, Little Fourth, let’s go into the supermarket.” Xia Xiaofu headed inside the supermarket.


    But Xia Xiaofu had yet to step inside the doors of the supermarket and realized that something was not right. “Little Fourth?” She turned her small head around and looked around. Where was Little Fourth?


    Xia Xiaofu was shocked and broke out into ayer of cold sweat. She quickly removed the sunsses that she was wearing as she shouted, “Little Fourth? Little Fourth!”


    She was dead. She had been too focused one the doll, so she lost Little Fourth.


    Xia Xiaofu ran out quickly and went to search for it. “Little Fourth, where are you? Come out quickly. Don’t scare Mama.”


    She looked for it for more than one hour. The sun had already gone down, but she still could not find Little Fourth.


    Xia Xiaofu stopped in her tracks and took her phone out of her pocket. Her small hands were shaking as she dialed Ou Luoxi’s number.


    Ring ring. Ou Luoxi’s pleasant and pure voice came out from the other end. “Hello...”


    Xia Xiaofu’s face was pale. Her eyes were red rimmed. She held onto her phone before softly saying, “Hello, Luoxi, I am sorry, I think...I created trouble.”


    “What?”


    “I brought Little Fourth out shopping, but the moment I turned around, I lost Little Fourth.”


    “What are you saying? Little Fourth is lost?” Ou Luoxi’s voice became anxious as he continued, “How did you lose Little Fourth? Why did you have to bring it out? Since you brought it out, why did you not look after it properly?”


    This was the longest sentence that she’d ever heard from Ou Luoxi. Xia Xiaofu could not help herself. The tears in her eyes flowed down immediately. She felt very bad inside her heart, and she felt very guilty.


    There were so many bad people outside nowadays, and a Tibetan Mastiff was worth so much money. If Little Fourth were caught by some bad people and was sold off or killed, what was she going to do?


    For the rest of her life, she would not forgive herself.


    She also did not have the face to see Ou Luoxi anymore.


    She covered her small mouth before she softly sobbed. “I am sorry... I am really so sorry...”


    Ou Luoxi, who was on the other end, heard her crying and was silent for a few seconds before he softly asked, “Where are you right now?”


    Xia Xiaofu scanned her surroundings. She already walked over to a small alleyway filled with potholes. There were no road signs in the vicinity, and she did not know where she’d walked to.


    Ding, ding. Her phone had a notification; her battery was going to run out soon.


    “Luoxi, don’t be angry. I will definitely find Little Fourth. If I am unable to find Little Fourth, I will not go back anymore.”


    “Xia Xiaofu, tell me your current location right now...”


    He had yet toplete his sentence, and Xia Xiaofu’s phone already shut off automatically.


    ...


    Xia Xiaofu put her phone back into her pocket. She wiped her tears from her face and continued to look for Little Fourth.


    “Little Fourth, Little Fourth...”


    Xia Xiaofu walked over to a shop selling dog meat. There was a big cage in front of the shop. There was a Tibetan Mastiff lying down inside the cage. Xia Xiaofu’s heart thumped and skipped a beat. She looked at it carefully and was immediately ted. It was Little Fourth.


    She found Little Fourth.


    Xia Xiaofu was extremely emotional. She wanted to call out to Little Fourth, but Little Fourth looked sickly as hey down inside the cage, and there was an electric shock stick beside the cage.


    Xia Xiaofu instantly realized that Little Fourth had been electrocuted, so it was caught and ced inside the cage. This shop was selling dog meat, and the owner of the shop definitely wanted to kill Little Fourth and eat it.


    Xia Xiaofu scanned her surroundings. It was pitch ck all around, and there was no one around. She could not ask for help, and furthermore, her phone battery was t. She was unable to call the cops. Xia Xiaofu pondered for a moment and decided that she had to be witty.


    “Boss.” Xia Xiaofu walked into the shop.


    The owner of the shop was a bald man in his forties. The moment he saw Xia Xiaofu, his eyes lit up, and he almost started to salivate. In this poor vige, the owner had not seen such a beautiful woman like Xia Xiaofu in his entire life, and she was just like a fairy.


    The shop owner quickly stepped forward and said, “Miss, what do you want to eat?”


    Xia Xiaofu looked over at Little Fourth. Little Fourth had also heard her voice and also looked over at her. “Woof...” Little Fourth used its ws to grab onto the cage. Its eyes were extremely pitiful as it looked at her.


    “I want to have a bowl of...noodles.”


    “Sure Miss, what meat do you want to add? We have everything here: dog, mutton, pork meat. Dog meat is our speciality.”


    Xia Xiaofu stretched her fingers out to point towards Little Fourth as she asked, “What is this? Why do I think that it looks like a Tibetan Mastiff? Kill it. I want to eat the meat of a Tibetan Mastiff.”


    “This...” The owner of the shop was in a dilemma as he continued, “This Tibetan Mastiff is very expensive. Today, just to catch it, it took a lot of effort. I want to sell it for a good price...”


    “Okay, stop talking. You just want money, right? Here. This is for you.” Xia Xiaofu put her wallet out and ced it on the table.


    The owner of the shop opened the wallet. There was a thick stack of red notes inside, and there seemed to be five or six thousand dors.


    “Okay, Miss. Please wait a moment. I will kill this beast right now...” The owner put the money away and bent down to open the cage.


    Xia Xiaofu was nervous as she looked at the owner’s movements. The moment the door of the cage opened up, Xia Xiaofu stood up and loudly shouted, “Little Fourth, run away quickly!”


    Xia Xiaofu dashed out of the room.


    Little Fourth pounced on the shop owner and also dashed away quickly.


    “Stop right there. Both of you, don’t run” The shop owner’s face turned ck, and he took the electric shocker in his hand as he chased after them.


    Xia Xiaofu and Little Fourth ran to the small road that was filled with potholes. She had a joy that was akin to surviving after death. She nced over at Little Fourth. Little Fourth barked at her. “Woof!”.


    Xia Xiaofu quickly broke out into a smile and said, “You don’t have to thank me.”


    She took this woof as Little Fourth’s way of saying thanks.


    She ran for some distance and realized that she was lost. There was a barrier in front of her. After crossing over the barriers, they would reach the main road. There were not too many people on the street, but there were cars around.


    “Little Fourth, go over quickly.”


    This was not something hard for Little Fourth. Little Fourth used strength with its ws, and passed over the barrier in a swift movement.


    Xia Xiaofu was in a daze with her legs. Little Fourth passed over very easily, but what was she going to do?


    Xia Xiaofu quickly climbed onto the barrier. She had always been feminine and never tried doing such a thing, and she was a little clumsy in her movements.


    It was at this moment that the owner of the shop ran over. Hetched onto Xia Xiaofu’s clothes and dragged her down. The owner of the shop was livid as he said, “It turns out that you are a cheater! There has yet to be anyone who dared to swindle me. Today, I will let you see how professional I am.”


    As he spoke, the owner of the shop touched Xia Xiaofu’s small face and said, “Tsk tsk, it is really so smooth. I will let that Tibetan Mastiff off, but you, I would not let you go. Come. Let me sleep with you. After we are done, I will bring you back and make you my wife.”


    The shop owner dragged Xia Xiaofu over to a nearby shrub.


    Little Fourth, who was at the barrier, saw that Xia Xiaofu had been caught, and he immediately crossed over the barriers again. “Woof woof!” Little Fourth immediately went to bite the thighs of the shop owner.


    “Little Fourth, run away quickly. Don’t worry about me anymore!” Xia Xiaofu shouted out loudly.


    The owner called out in pain, his thighs were bleeding after getting bitten, and he shouted, “Beast, it is your death day today!” The owner of the shop raised his electric stick and adjusted the power to the maximum before pressing it in Little Fourth’s direction.


    “Little Fourth!”


    If he managed to hit Little Fourth with it, it would definitely die. Xia Xiaofu called out painfully, and she couldn’t breathe.


    At this extremely critical moment, the hand of the shop owner was pinned down.


    The shop owner was rmed. He struggled around and wanted to move, and that fair hand seemed not to be using any strength at all, but the owner of the shop was unable to struggle.


    Xia Xiaofu raised her head up to look over. “Luoxi!”


    “Woof woof!” Little Fourth was even more excited as it barked out loudly.


    Ou Luoxi easily restrained the shop owner. His wrist moved, and the electric prod in the owner’s hand changed directly. The electric prod immediately shocked his stomach.


    “Ah!” The shop owner let out a shout before he copsed onto the ground as his mouth started to foam, and he fainted.


    Xia Xiaofu had escaped from danger, and she copsed down onto the ground. She used her small hand to touch her own chest before she tookrge breaths of air.


    She had yet to pant for a moment, and she felt a pair of eyes look over at her. She raised her head up to look and only noticed that Ou Luoxi’s hands that he drooped by the sides of his hands were kneaded tightly into fists, and his face had a sinister expression as he looked at her.


    “Luoxi, I... I am sorry,” she stuttered.


    “What is the point of saying sorry right now? Xia Xiaofu, do you actually have brains? Did you know how dangerous this man was? If I would havee a littleter...”


    Xia Xiaofu pouted her small lotus-like lips. She hugged her kneecaps as she buried her small face inside. She was unhappy as she murmured, “I know.”


    He was normally silent and did not speak much, but now, he was so good and fluent when he was criticising her. It was so dangerous just now. Her legs were still shaking, and all he could do was chide her.


    “Woof woof!” Little Fourth was extremely unhappy as he barked at Ou Luoxi, then he walked over to Xia Xiaofu’s side. He nudged her with his body as if he were saying — I am on your side.


    Xia Xiaofu had a sweet smile on her face before she stretched her small hand out to touch Little Fourth’s head.


    Although it was dangerous, she’d made a strong friendship with Little Fourth in this dangerous episode. Ha!


    Ou Luoxi looked at the girl and Little Fourth from above. He controlled the anger in his heart before he said, “Let’s go. Let’s go back home.”


    “Oh.” Xia Xiaofu replied before raising her head up to look at Ou Luoxi. She was very pitiful and felt wronged as she said, “My legs are soft. I can’t walk. I want to rest for a while longer.”


    Ou Luoxi bent over and picked her up.


    Xia Xiaofu quickly hugged his neck before burying her small face under the cor of his coat. She curled the corners of her lips up as she smiled secretly, then she said, “Actually, I can walk on my own.”


    Ou Luoxi lowered his gaze to look at her. Her low ponytail was a little loose right now. There were a few strands of hair stuck on her exquisite cheeks, and there was some ck soot on her cheeks, but her eyes were the only thing that were sparkling even brighter than a pearl. She looked like a cute and cheeky kitten.


    “Don’t you just want me to carry you?”


    Xia Xiaofu bit down on her lower lip. She’d said that her legs were soft, and she did in fact want him to carry her, but he was such a wooden person. How did he be wise to her needs now?


    She knew that he was just pretending to be dumb.


    “Then do you know what I am thinking about right now?”


    Ou Luoxi did not have an expression on his face, and he did not reply to her.


    Xia Xiaofu hugged him tight. She had a satisfied smile on her face as she said, “I am thinking...my hands are so cold.”


    She snuck one small hand into his coat. He wore a thin sweater underneath his coat. The material was very soft. She ced her small hand over his heart.


    Ou Luoxi: “...”


    ...


    Both of them walked over to a bus stop together with Little Fourth. The bus that came here could bring them directly to the city. Because it was thest bus, there were many people on it.


    Ou Luoxi put Xia Xiaofu down before bringing Little Fourth onto the bus, and both of them stood by the side of the windows.


    Xia Xiaofu was surrounded by men on her sides. These men had not seen such a beautiful woman like her before, so their eyes were all fixed on her, and she did not know if they were doing it on purpose or not. Those men were all trying to nudge her.


    It was the first time that Xia Xiaofu took a bus. As for these men, she found them frustrating, and she did not like them.


    At this moment, a muscr arm held onto her slim waist. Her entire being was brought against a warm chest. She lifted her head up to have a look. Ou Luoxi leaned against the windows of the bus, and he pulled her directly into his embrace.


    Little Fourth took the chance and parked himself in front of them before fiercely ring at those men who did not have good intentions.


    The men did not dare to provoke a Tibetan Mastiff, and they all stepped back.


    Xia Xiaofu was protected like this, and she felt very blissful. The bad smell on the bus was reced by the clean and pleasant scent of Ou Luoxi’s body, and he did not take his hand back the entire time. He hugged her like that. Both of them faced one another, and their bodies were almost stuck to one another.


    “Why did you not drive over?” she asked him softly.


    Ou Luoxi was tall with his long legs as he casuallyid back. He said, “I asked you where you were, but you did not say anything. This ce is all full of small roads. It is not easy to drive here, so I ran over.”


    Xia Xiaofu heard the concern and worried feelings in his voice and she said, “Luoxi, you could not see me. Were you shocked? Were you afraid? Did you feel very nervous and worried about me?”


    Ou Luoxi nced over at her, meaning — What do you think?


    He turned his gaze over to look outside the window.


    Looking at his arrogant demeanour, Xia Xiaofu broke out into a sweet smile. She stretched her small hand out to tug the clothing around his waist as she said, “Luoxi, you like me!”


    It was not a question but an affirmation.


    Ou Luoxi did not reply to her.


    At this moment, the bus made an emergency brake. Because of his habit, Ou Luoxi’s body bent forward slightly. Because both of their bodies were very close to one another, the moment he nted, both of their faces were stuck to one another.


    Xia Xiaofu looked at the thin lips that were 0.1mm away from her lips. His lips really looked very good. They were light pink in colour and were even more attractive than jelly.


    She went on her tiptoes and kissed his thin lips sneakily.


    Ou Luoxi froze for a moment. His breathing and senses were all full of the softness and fragrance of her lips. He swallowed his saliva and was thirsty.


    Xia Xiaofu’s small hand tugged his waist and used strength, and she pulled his body over to hers. Her small face was red as she softly said, “Luoxi, kiss me.”


    Ou Luoxi straightened his waist, and he looked at the small, exquisite, egg-shaped face that was erged in front of him. She was both shy and expectant as she looked at him. Her almond-shaped eyes were spinning around, and she was full of charm.


    Ou Luoxi looked downwards to look at her red lips. He still did not know that this was the hot attractiveness between a man and woman. He only found it to be hot, and this kind of feeling was like he was going out of control.


    He was unwilling to react. Xia Xiaofu tugged him again. Her small face was so red, almost the same shade as blood as she said, “Don’t you know how to kiss me? Aiya, it is just...French kissing, right?”
