Seeing that Lu Qing had walked away and completely ignored them, the five of them immediately deflated like punctured balloons.
"I should have known better than to hit him in the face!"
"I should have punched myself in the face twice!"
Looking at them, Helian Shi said quietly:
"I advise you to tone it down. You're no match for him if you try to play the victim!"
Only then did they understand why Gu Xicheng hadn't dodged some of the moves in the boxing room, even though he could have easily avoided them.
Thinking of the pitiful act Gu Xicheng had just put on, the five of them couldn't help but grit their teeth.
This guy is even more cunning than a green tea b*tch; he's incredibly scheming.
Helian Shi was somewhat confused:
"Gu Xicheng and Lu Qing were already engaged, and in this very open-minded era, isn't it normal for them to have a relationship? Why are you all angry?"
"That's our little sister, she was taken advantage of by a pig, how can we not be angry!" Chu Qianjin said indignantly.
Helian Shi pursed his lips; he still didn't understand.
"No matter what your intentions are, I advise you to restrain yourselves. I can sense that Lu Qing's heart is more inclined towards Gu Xicheng."
"To put it bluntly, her feelings for Gu Xicheng are deeper than her feelings for you. If she goes too far, it might backfire."
Upon hearing this, the five men immediately felt a sense of alarm.
Gu Xicheng is the person Lu Qing likes, so perhaps they really shouldn't have targeted Gu Xicheng like this.
"Should we go apologize to Gu Xicheng?"
"That was a bit too much!"
"Let's go! Let's go together!"
Helian Shi pulled Chu Qianjin back: "Let them go, you come with me!"
"Why? What if Qingqing is still angry with me if I don't go!" Chu Qianjin hurriedly said.
"Don't worry! She's not that petty!"
Helian Shi pulled Chu Qianjin into the room.
Chu Qianjin asked, puzzled, "Why did you bring me here?"
"Apply the medicine!"
As he spoke, Helian Shi pressed Chu Qianjin down onto the bed and lifted his sweater.
Chu Qianjin's heart tightened, and she immediately struggled to get up:
"Helian Shi, I'm fine, no need for medicine!"
He had barely finished speaking when Helian Shi pressed on the injury in his lower back, causing him to gasp in pain.
"Hey! Don't touch it!"
Helian Shi's lips curled up slightly as he teased:
"Who just said it was nothing!"
"With your mediocre skills, you dared to fight Gu Xicheng. Luckily, he's not your real enemy, otherwise you wouldn't just have bruises all over your body, but rather patches of blood all over the place."
Chu Qianjin was amused by him:
"Isn't it because you're here? If Gu Xicheng were really an enemy, would you let me go over and fight him?"
Helian Shi found these words very agreeable.
He poured some safflower oil onto his palm and then gently massaged the injured area.
Chu Qianjin stopped resisting and lay on the bed, letting him rub her.
"Speaking of which, from the tone you used when you talked about Gu Xicheng, it seems you admire him quite a bit!"
Helian Shi's eyes flickered slightly:
"Ah Jin, are you jealous?"
Chu Qianjin laughed: "Jealous? You're overthinking it! Why would I be jealous!"
"I'm just curious. I've never seen you admire anyone before. What's so special about Gu Xicheng?"
After a moment of silence, Helian Shi said:
"He... I can't quite put my finger on it, but there's something special about him."
“He was clearly an ordinary person, but he didn’t show any fear when he looked at me, and I felt like I’d seen him somewhere before.”
In his search for Chu Qianjin, Helian Shi traveled to almost every place in the Three Realms while he was lucid.
He has seen many people and things, but he forgets them quickly; most people and events don't leave an impression on him.
Gu Xicheng must have been extraordinary to leave an impression on him.
Chu Qianjin didn't ask any more questions.
Helian Shi's technique was so good that he squinted his eyes in comfort.
"Helian, it's a shame you're not a massage therapist with skills like that!"
Helian Shi: "If I were to become a technician, I would only serve you."
Upon hearing this, Chu Qianjin couldn't help but cough lightly.
That was a rather ambiguous remark, making him feel a little uncomfortable.
"Alright! Helian, stop pressing!"
Just as Chu Qianjin was about to get up, Helian Shi leaned over and pressed him back down.
"Ah Jin, are you shy?"
Chu Qianjin turned his head and met Helian Shi's smiling eyes. He quickly looked away.
"What's there to be shy about! Get off me right now, I still need to go find Qingqing!"
Chu Qianjin reached out to push, but Helian Shi was like a small mountain pressing down on him, and he couldn't move him at all.
"Helian! Get out of my way!" Chu Qianjin's tone was tinged with panic.
Helian Shi bent down and chuckled softly:
"Ah Jin, I don't want to get up. I want to hold you like this, and keep holding you forever!"
Chu Qianjin's ears turned red, and a hint of anger appeared on her face:
"Helian Shi, what's wrong with you! There are so many people outside, what if they see us..."
"So what if I saw it! I like you, it's not a secret!"
Helian Shi held Chu Qianjin very tightly.
Ever since Chu Qianjin agreed to see him, he couldn't control his inner impulse. He wanted to look at her all the time, hold her, and never want to leave her side.
Chu Qianjin's eyes trembled slightly, and her heart pounded.
He did not reject Helian Shi's embrace, but it was still a bit difficult for him to accept being with a man from the bottom of his heart.
"Helian, wait a little longer, I..."
Before Chu Qianjin could finish speaking, Helian Shi covered her mouth.
"You don't need to explain, I understand!"
"I can wait, I can take it slow, as long as I can stay by your side, I'll do anything."
Helian Shi buried his face in Chu Qianjin's neck, greedily inhaling his scent.
After a long while, he got up and let go of Chu Qianjin.
As soon as she gained her freedom, Chu Qianjin hurriedly walked out, her fleeing figure making Helian Shi laugh helplessly.
Meanwhile, the four older brothers came to Gu Xicheng's room and apologized to him.
This made Gu Xicheng a little embarrassed. They hadn't actually used much force; he had just deliberately made himself look more miserable.
"Brothers-in-law, why are you being so polite with me!"
"We were just having a friendly spar, and now that you're apologizing to me, it's making me a little scared!"
Chu Qianlan frowned and said seriously:
“Gu Xicheng, we did target you before. You are Qingqing’s fiancé. We shouldn’t have done that.”
"I'm the eldest brother. Starting today, I promise that as long as you treat Qingqing well, we will never target you again!"
Gu Xicheng stepped forward and smiled:
"Actually, I understand! After Feifei started dating, I always targeted that guy too."
“We can’t say that we’re targeting her; at most, it’s a test. If we can’t even handle the family of the girl we love, then what right do we have to marry her?”
Chu Qianlan raised an eyebrow: "Kid, do you really think that way?"
Gu Xicheng: "Of course! But next time you guys hit me, please go easy on me, my face hurts!"
Chu Qianlan rolled her eyes at him: "This injury was clearly caused by your own bumping into it, and you even put on a fake one."
Everyone smiled; at this point, they could say they had accepted Gu Xicheng.
