Chapter 266: I’m Hurt

Shen Xi was on high alert and was aware that Young Master Fu was trailing behind her the moment she went out the door. She had no clue what Fu Qingxuan was up to by driving quietly behind her.

Without booking or hailing a cab, Shen Xi kept on running, making Fu Qingxuan wonder if she ever felt tired after jogging close to two miles.

He had never met such an oddball.

The girls he knew were pampered, whiny, and gasping for air after a short walk. He never took a fancy to these girls.

The last thing on Shen Xi’s mind would be her bumping into muggers.

Three brawny men appeared before her out of nowhere and threatened her with a knife while commanding her in their German-accent English, “Give us all your valuables.”

Looking at them, Shen Xi raised both her hands and let out a bloodthirsty smile.

She might consider doing as she was told if they had a gun but to rob her with a knife was a different story.

These men were experienced muggers. The leader held the knife at her and gestured the other two to search her body.

Furrowing her brows as her lashes fluttered, she gathered energy on her left leg and waited until they were close enough to deliver a fatal blow.

The muggers just made their way over.

Fu Qingxuan popped out of nowhere and pulled her away before engaging in a fight with the three thugs.

Shen Xi’s heart was filled with warmth but soon realized that the young master stood no chance against the hoodlums and in just a moment, he took a few punches to his face. With one of the thugs striking a knife mercilessly at him, Shen Xi stepped forth.

Seeing that a knife was heading his way, Fu Qingxuan cried out, “Go, quick!”

What happened next left him dumbfounded.

As agile as a leopard, the girl pounced and kicked the knife away from the thug’s hand.

Fu Qingxuan stared at her blankly. Although the girl appeared petite, skinny, and harmless, she was a bad*ss; executing each move with precision and ruthlessness. It did not take long before the muggers lay flat on the ground.

The thugs were quickly subdued by Shen Xi. It was not just the thugs, even Fu Qingxuan was blown away. Qingye never told him that she could fight for real. Judging by her moves, the mean girl must have gotten into a lot of fights.

Fu Qingxuan called the cops.

Shen Xi tied the muggers to a tree to prevent them from escaping.

Fu Qingxuan was bruised for taking two punches in the face and his left arm was cut when he tried to save Shen Xi. It was not a deep cut but it bled still.

Shen Xi gazed at him. “I have to get going. Wait here for the cops to arrive.”

Fu Qingxuan, “…”

The idiotic look on his face left Shen Xi worried. She enjoined him, “Wait in the car and lock the doors. Ram them with the car if they try to run away.”

The girl pointed at the three bounded thugs, giving them a cutthroat look while speaking in a language they did not understand. However, it was enough to send chills down their spine. Shaking, they lowered their heads so cowardly to even look at her.

Fu Qingxuan pulled her back furiously as she really was going to leave him. “I’m hurt.”

What a heartless girl. Was she not the least bit worried about him?

Unable to quite get what he was on about, Shen Xi raised a brow. “Young Master, you’re a doctor.”

Fu Qingxuan was riled up. “Meanie, I got hurt because of you. You have to take responsibility and tend to my wound.”

Shen Xi was amused by what she just heard and chuckled at Fu Qingxuan who was fuming. Since it was still early and it would not take long to apply medication on him, she nodded.

Fu Qingxuan, “…”

Why did he have a feeling that the mean girl was laughing at him?

Shen Xi brought out a first aid kit and tended to his injuries. She asked him, “Did you barge in just to be a punching bag?”

He did not know how to fight and yet he charged in undauntingly when she was in danger. Fu Qingxuan certainly had guts and was quite manly, if she might add.

“You…” With his face flushed red, he darted her an angry look. “Meanie, who do you think put me in this position? And here you are, laughing at me. Where’s your conscience?”

While stifling her laughter, Shen Xi spoke in a softer voice, “Young Master, don’t just charge up in a spur of the moment the next time you encounter the same situation. Analyze if you can beat them first, rather than getting into it with the bad guys. You’re not doing anyone any favors.”

It may result in two stabbed victims if it were some other girl instead of her today. He would be lucky to only sustain an injury, but on a bad day, it would be his life at stake.

“I… I went soft on them. Do you think they will still be alive if I were to really make a move?” Fu Qingxuan fished out two silver needles out of nowhere. “See this? One poke and there goes their lives.”

Shen Xi shot him a side glance. “Why didn’t you use them if you’re that great?”

He had a feeling that he was being mocked by this mean girl. “Are you going to be responsible in the event of a death?”

She looked at him in disdain. “Why should I be the one responsible when you’re the one who did it?”

He replied, “I’d only be doing it to save you.”

She retorted, “I never asked you to save me.”

He snapped back, “I don’t want to save you but what am I supposed to tell Qingye if you’re mugged?”

She refuted, “Who wants you to tell Qingye?”

The two immature kiddos were going at it.

Fu Qingxuan could not pull a punch for his life and he himself had no clue as to why. He may be exemplary in other areas but fell short when it came to anything physical. The best coaches in fencing, wrestling, Chinese martial arts, and the sorts were hired to teach him, yet he never got the hang of it.

Born with a golden spoon, Fu Qingxuan never had to worry about his life’s bare necessities. As the youngest in the family, his parents, brothers, and relatives doted on him a lot.

He was a young prodigy and accomplished greatly in the medical field. Growing up in an ivory tower, Fu Qingxuan had nothing but the best. It was destined since birth that he would be a winner in life.

Moreover, following the loss of her daughter, Mother Fu redirected all the love she had for her daughter to her son. No one would say no to Fu Qingxuan, nurturing him to a sheltered life. It was his first time coming across such a situation.

Shen Xi looked at the young man. Not only was he a privileged heir, Fu Qingxuan sure knew how to toot his horn. A weakling like him could take on dozens of men? Who was he trying to bluff?

In other words, the young master was a naïve young man, only exposed to the good in life and never the bad.

“Carry on bragging. I’m leaving.” Shen Xi exited the car.

Fu Qingxuan reached out his injured arm and gazed at her. “What about me? You can’t leave!”

Shen Xi glanced at the time. “It only takes ten minutes from here to your place.”

He replied, “I don’t care. I can’t drive.”
