Because Ye Qing was standing behind the door, she stumbled as the door was kicked open.
As he staggered, Ye Qing caught a glimpse of the fruit knife he had dropped on the ground. He quickly bent down to pick it up, thinking that it would be safer to hold the fruit knife in one hand and the stick in the other. He did manage to pick up the fruit knife, but before he could even stand up straight, he was pulled up by a strong force.
Instinctively, Ye Qing turned around and raised the stick in his hand. When he saw who had kicked the door open, Ye Qing was stunned.
"Stay put and behave yourself!"
"You..." Ye Qing swallowed hard, looking at the furious Xi Quan with surprise, "Why are you here?"
"If I hadn't come, I guess the next time I'd see you would be when I'm burning paper money for you," Xi Quan said irritably.
When Ye Qing saw Xi Quan burst through the door, she was excited, but Xi Quan's words made her swallow her words of gratitude.
Moreover, at this moment, the other party also realized that this person had come to help Ye Qing.
They dared not underestimate him even more, after all, Ye Qing, a mere girl, had already given them a hard time dealing with, and now a man who looked like he was not to be trifled with had arrived.
So, while Xi Quan and Ye Qing were talking, they picked up the scattered wooden sticks on the ground. Just as they were about to hit Xi Quan on the head, Ye Qing shouted, "Watch out!"
Xi Quan heard it, but since the other party was holding something, he would be at a disadvantage if he fought them bare-handed. So he thought of finding something to grab and turned to get another chair. But at that critical moment, the other party tried to attack Xi Quan, who had his back to them.
Without thinking twice, Ye Qing rushed over to help Xi Quan.
Xi Quan, who had already raised the chair, saw Ye Qing blocking his way. After looking at the situation, he quickly understood what was going on, but he was furious: "Didn't I tell you to stay to the side?"
While yelling, Xi Quan reached out and pulled Ye Qing aside again, then smashed the chair in his hand.
Although the other party was frightened by Xi Quan's actions and jumped back, Xi Quan did not let them off because of their cowardice. He rolled up his sleeves, clenched his fists and punched them. His feet were not idle either. When someone dared to come over while he was gathering people, he raised his foot and kicked them.
Soon, Xi Quan had the upper hand over the four men.
Looking at the people groaning on the ground, Xi Quan glanced at them contemptuously from his superior position and said, "Let me introduce myself. My name is Xi Quan. Remember this, put all the blame for today on my head. If you dare to cause trouble for Ye Qing again, you can try. If you don't know who I am, ask Liang Lu in your circle. If you can't find me, have him take you to me."
After saying that, Xi Quan kicked the table, making the things on the table rattle and bang.
Then Xi Quan grabbed Ye Qing and dragged her away.
Although Ye Qing was somewhat displeased that Xi Quan had seen what she had said, she was being honest, as Xi Quan had ultimately helped and saved her, and gratitude was certainly warranted.
After leaving, the other party didn't chase after her. Before Ye Qing could even say thank you, Xi Quan glared angrily at her and said, "Weren't you so capable? Why are you carrying a fruit knife around? Do you think I'm a dead man? If you felt something was wrong, you knew to call Liang Youjie and ask him. Why didn't you ask me?"
Ye Qing was still wondering how Xi Quan had found her, but upon hearing his words, she instinctively asked, "Did Liang Youjie tell you? He..."
Xi Quan was already quite angry, but Ye Qing still couldn't find the point. Judging from her expression, she seemed extremely grateful to Liang Youjie, which made Xi Quan even angrier: "It doesn't matter who told me. You should know who came to save you."
After saying this in a bad mood, Xi Quan ignored Ye Qing and left.
To be honest, Ye Qing didn't quite understand why Xi Quan was angry, nor did she realize that there was anything wrong with the question she had just asked him.
Even so, seeing Xi Quan's angry back, Ye Qing knew she had to say thank you. Whether Xi Quan listened or not was his business, but she couldn't just not say it; that would be too impolite.
Ye Qing then caught up with Xi Quan: "Thank you for today."
After she finished speaking, seeing that Xi Quan had stopped, Ye Qing quickly moved to face Xi Quan and sincerely thanked him again. However, she heard Xi Quan say, "I don't want to hear you thank me."
Ye Qing was puzzled by this and didn't quite understand what Xi Quan meant, so she asked instinctively, "Then what do you want to hear?"
"I..." Xi Quan swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue, stammering as he looked at Ye Qing, hardly believing the words he had almost blurted out.
To say that Ye Qing and Xi Quan were familiar with each other would be one thing, but to say they weren't familiar with each other would be another. Ye Qing really couldn't understand why Xi Quan was stuttering. After thinking for a moment, she said directly, "What's wrong? Tell me. You helped me this time, and it's only right that I thank you."
"If you need any help from me, I will definitely help you, even if you probably don't need my help and I probably can't help you much. But I still need to show you the proper attitude; I'm a very principled person when it comes to gratitude and resentment."
Watching Ye Qing speak clearly about her grievances, Xi Quan felt a lump in his throat, unable to swallow his words, yet the words he spoke seemed inappropriate.
Xi Quan himself didn't even understand why he felt so resentful.
After a long silence, Xi Quan said, "Well... it's just..."
Ye Qing asked, "What?"
"I mean, that invitation to that fashion show or something I threw away before, did you pick it up again? If not, I'll try to get you in to see what's going on. I think it's tonight." After hesitating for a while, Xi Quan finally came up with a suitable excuse.
Although his words had an arrogant tone, in the past, even though she knew Xi Quan meant no harm, she just didn't know how to express it, but Ye Qing would not have tolerated his behavior and would have definitely replied, "Why should I pick up what you've thrown away again?"
But now, considering that he had saved her, Ye Qing didn't hold it against him: "I have some, and I'll go see it tonight."
"Then I'll pick you up tonight." After saying that, Xi Quan hurriedly left as if afraid that Ye Qing would refuse. After taking a couple of steps, he suddenly remembered something and told Ye Qing, "Go back to school quickly and don't wander around outside."
After watching Xi Quan leave, Ye Qing's composure vanished, her eyes darkened, and she went through the events of the day from beginning to end before angrily returning to school.
