A Pleasure to Meet You

“Welcome to the town.” The mayor broke into a cold sweat. With an awkward smile, he pulled back the hand resting on Yin Xiu’s shoulder.

Li Mo led the little girl over and handed her to Yin Xiu. Then he reached out and took the hand the mayor had just placed on Yin Xiu’s shoulder, giving it a friendly shake. Smiling, he said, “It’s a pleasure to meet you.”

“Likewise.” The mayor forced a smile and tried to pull his hand back, but it seemed trapped in Li Mo’s grasp. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t get it free.

The smile on his face instantly froze. He looked up at the man before him, who was smiling while silently radiating terror, and felt a little uneasy.

“Big Brother!” The little girl stumbled into Yin Xiu’s arms, sniffling. “Let’s hurry and leave. I hate this place!”

“Mm.” Yin Xiu nodded, his gaze softening a little. He picked up the little girl and left.

“You...” Zhong Mu stared helplessly at the mayor and Li Mo, still shaking hands where they stood. Then he gave up trying to figure it out and followed Yin Xiu.

As soon as they left, the mayor broke into an even heavier cold sweat.

The comments silently watched the two men in the middle of the road. Li Mo smiled at the mayor, who maintained a stiff grin. The two of them stood face-to-face, smiling, and somehow the whole scene felt unsettling.

“I know the mayor probably isn’t an ordinary person, but standing face-to-face with him, I still feel like Yin Xiu’s roommate is scarier.”...
