Qi Xiu knocked several men to the ground in just a few moves. Shen Yuan huddled in the corner, covering his torn clothes with his hands.
These men looked big and strong, but unexpectedly they were so weak. Seeing that they couldn't beat him, several of them ran away with their faces rolled over. Qi Xiu took off his clothes and put them on Shen Yuan.
"Are you okay?"
Chen Yuan shook her head in shock. She was just a little frightened, but he seemed...
"Your arm..."
There was a long cut on his arm, and blood was dripping from his fingers onto the ground.
"It's okay, can you get up?"
Qi Xiu shook his head. He had been working in an underground boxing gym these days, and minor injuries were commonplace for him.
Chen Yuan was helped to stand up by Qi Xiu, but her foot was injured when she was dragged back by them just now, and she almost fell down after taking a few steps.
Seeing that she couldn't walk, Qi Xiu squatted down and said, "I'll carry you."
Chen Yuan was not one to act pretentiously, and since she couldn't walk at all, she had no choice but to let him carry her on his back.
Qi Xiu was also injured, and although it was a bit strenuous, fortunately Shen Yuan was not seriously injured, so it was not very difficult.
"Are you okay with your wound? Or you can put me down."
Seeing the cold sweat on his forehead, Shen Yuan became concerned about his injuries.
Qi Xiu shook his head, "It's okay."
She hesitated for a long time. Although it was not appropriate now, but thinking that there was not much time left, she gritted her teeth and said, "Qi Xiu, can I ask you something?"
Qi Xiu was stunned for a while. He naturally knew what Shen Yuan was going to ask, otherwise he would not have refused to meet her.
He said coldly, "If you want to ask about the orphanage, forget it. I won't tell you."
Chen Yuan paused. Why was he rejected when he hadn't even asked the question yet?
Qi Xiu had already said that, and she was asking again. She knew that even if she asked, she wouldn't be able to get anything out of him as long as he didn't want to.
They didn't know how long they walked until they reached a place with street lights and Qi Xiu put her down.
"Can you stand?"
Chen Yuan nodded. She could stand but couldn't walk. She was a little worried. Would this person want to leave her here?
She was still lost in thought when she heard Qi Xiu say, "Thank you for saving me last time in S City. This time I'm repaying your favor. There's a lot of traffic and people passing by here, so it must be safe. You can go back by yourself. I won't see you off."
Chen Yuan was stunned for a long time, and said with some difficulty, "My leg was injured, and my phone was stolen..."
Qi Xiu paused and said, "I'll call a taxi for you."
Then he took out his cell phone and said, "Hello, is this 110..."
Didn't he say he'd call a taxi for me? Why did he call the police?!
"I met a girl here. She seems to be lost. Yes, she lost her phone. Could you please help me? This is... Thank you."
But in a moment, he reported the address. After hanging up the phone, he said to Chen Yuan, "Wait here for a while. The police will send you back when they come. It's up to you whether you want to call the police to arrest those people."
"Okay, thank you."
Shen Yuan came to thank him, and Qi Xiu shook his head, "I'm leaving."
After saying that, he walked in the opposite direction without looking back. Shen Yuan looked at his back and suddenly thought of something.
Oops! I forgot to ask for your contact information!
"etc!"
Qi Xiu seemed not to hear anything. Chen Yuan anxiously wanted to catch up with him, but the pain in her foot made her unable to move forward after taking just one step.
Although I felt uncomfortable, I had no choice but to let it go.
Chen Yuan waited there for a long time, with gusts of cold wind blowing on her body. Fortunately, she was wearing Qi Xiu's coat, otherwise she might have frozen to death here.
After waiting for an unknown amount of time, the police car finally stopped at her feet with its sirens blaring.
"Hello, Miss, what happened to you?"
The police officer looked at her dirty and torn dress and asked questions. Shen Yuan was stunned for a moment.
In the end, she chose to keep it secret. She didn't want to cause too much trouble, so she would handle the matter herself.
"It was too dark, and I fell down."
Although the reason was far-fetched, the police officer did not ask too many questions. He helped Shen Yuan into the police car and asked for her address.
In just a moment, the police safely sent her to the door of Gu's house.
"Do you need me to take you in?"
Chen Yuan shook his head. "No need to bother. Thank you."
After the police car left, Shen Yuan dragged his injured leg slowly into the house.
It was the first time she knew that the front door was so far away from the room door.
I wish she would die of pain!
As soon as he walked into the Gu family's door, Shen Yuan was already sweating profusely from exhaustion, probably more from the pain.
She paused for a moment, and just as she was about to go inside, she heard the sound of a door opening upstairs.
She looked up and saw Gu Jisui. He stood at the stairs with one hand in his pocket, staring at Chen Yuan for a moment.
When he came back, he didn't see Chen Yuan and thought she had already gone to bed. He didn't expect her to come back so late. It was already three o'clock in the morning.
But... he stared at Shen Yuan's dirty dress and the man's coat on her and frowned.
How did you get so embarrassed?
"You..." After going downstairs, Gu Jisui looked at Chen Yuan and seemed to be hesitant to speak.
Only after he walked in did he see clearly that her hair was covered with weeds and dirt, and the clothes under the men's coat were so torn that the scenery underneath was barely visible.
He wanted to ask her what happened, but was afraid that he would guess right.
For some reason, the moment Chen Yuan saw Gu Jisui, a feeling of grievance surged in her heart, and her eyes unconsciously became red.
