Chapter 31 You injured your face, but she only had a broken bone.
If it were someone else, they would definitely be afraid of the pain of falling.
But even as Wen Yao was feeling uneasy, she still had the mind to consider whether she should pretend to have had a miscarriage. After all, it would be strange if she, a "pregnant woman," was completely unharmed after being hit so hard.
In fact, these worries are unnecessary.
Because she dodged to the side at lightning speed, her face only grazed the artificial hill beside her, leaving a small scratch.
Am I some kind of speed demon? Wen Yao was in a daze.
[You've experienced the benefits of being my host, haven't you!]
[As I mentioned, your physique will continuously improve after the binding, and your reaction speed will naturally increase gradually.]
Unless a car with its accelerator floored is crashing into you at close range, it won't touch you at all from any distance!
Wen Yao moved her fingers. No, then is she still human?
Of course, it is—an ordinary human being with superhuman strength and lightning speed.
"Brother, that's Superman!" Wen Yao had a strange feeling of being hit by a mountain of gold. Gold was good, but it was also very heavy.
"If I had this ability in my past life, I wouldn't have been hit by a car and died, right?" Wen Yao sighed to 8848. "And I wouldn't have to worry about being exploited by unscrupulous bosses."
Are you going to become an athlete?
"Oh right, I could also be an athlete!" Wen Yao suddenly realized. "I was just thinking that if I had that kind of strength, I could go to a construction site and carry bricks like crazy."
Ever since the news about workers demanding unpaid wages in their area went viral and made it into the national media, leading to strict government crackdowns, no one has dared to arbitrarily withhold or delay workers' wages anymore.
8848 was speechless, its data stream becoming chaotic. Suddenly, it remembered a human joke: What would a farmer do if he became emperor? The farmer replied gleefully, "I will use a golden hoe to farm from now on."
A host with superhuman abilities who only thinks about making money by carrying bricks on construction sites is just another "farmer".
The conversation with 8848 lasted only a few seconds before Wen Yao turned to look at the other two.
The scene was horrific.
Zhao Xi'er was a pampered young lady, and she was only wearing an exquisite Chanel-style suit with a short, thin skirt that didn't even provide any cushioning.
She fell to the ground, her body twisted at an unnatural angle, clearly showing multiple fractures. Long, bloody gashes ran from her knees to her calves, and her joints were covered in bruises.
On the contrary, the burly man who was the first to crash into them was not seriously injured because Zhao Xi'er acted as a buffer. He had already gotten up, bent over and bowing his head, apologizing frantically.
The man was wearing a green work uniform, and a large pair of scissors lay beside him; he was probably a gardener.
Amidst gasps and screams, Madam Fu remained relatively calm. She instructed someone to call the family doctor, then went to check on Wen Yao's condition. Only after confirming that Wen Yao was alright did she go to help Zhao Xi'er.
Unfortunately, she was also delicate and frail, and couldn't possibly lift Zhao Xier, who was now paralyzed on the ground with a broken bone.
Wen Yao rushed over to help, but was stopped by a hug halfway there.
Strong arms wrapped tightly around her waist, their palms burning hot against her sides and back, so tight it was almost suffocating.
Her nose touched the finely textured shirt and smelled a warm, pleasant fragrance.
Wen Yao looked up and the first thing she saw was Fu Jinzhi's clearly defined jawline. Fu Jinzhi looked down and met her gaze, his cold and handsome face coming into view.
Fu Jinzhi glanced at the scratches on Wen Yao's face, his gaze darkening, and unconsciously tightened his grip. "Does it hurt?"
Wen Yao glanced at Zhao Xi'er, who was in so much pain she couldn't speak, and shook her head instinctively, comparing the two. "It doesn't hurt."
Fu Jinzhi's eyes flickered, and her voice was a little hoarse, revealing her heartache, "Don't worry, I will find you the best plastic surgeon, and I will never let you have any scars."
ah? !
Wen Yao's heart skipped a beat. There was no mirror nearby, so she guessed from the pain that her injury was not serious and should only be a scratch.
Judging from Fu Jinzhi's behavior, she's practically disfigured!
Wen Yao's hands trembled as she pulled out her phone to unlock it, facing the selfie mode with a mixture of fear and necessity.
Even the slightest blemish on an overly fair face will be very noticeable, let alone a wound.
Wen Yao had a scratch on her face, clearly left by a rough object. The edges of the wound were slightly red and swollen, with a few drops of blood mixed in.
It certainly has a shocking feel to it.
But that didn't change anything; the wound had only broken the skin and was less than two centimeters long.
Wen Yao: ...
Fu Jinzhi, wake up! This kind of injury doesn't require a plastic surgeon to come in.
[Host, you should put on a band-aid!]
Wen Yao's heart, which had just settled, jumped again. "What? Is there really a risk of disfigurement?!"
She realized that there must be a malignant virus on the artificial hill!
No, your physical condition is too good right now. I'm afraid your wound will heal in a few minutes, and you'll be sent to a lab as a rare species.
Wen Yao remained silent, took out a band-aid from her bag, and then found her hand empty.
Fu Jinzhi took the band-aid from Wen Yao's hand very naturally and carefully put it on her.
A warm, large hand brushed across Wen Yao's face. Looking into Fu Jinzhi's earnest, almond-shaped eyes, she felt a jolt of electricity.
Bro, you smell so good...
Wen Yao felt a chill run down her spine. She quickly pushed Fu Jinzhi away with both hands, her voice stammering, "I, I'm fine. Shouldn't you go over there and help?"
Help? A hint of murderous intent flashed across Fu Jinzhi's handsome face.
When this "accident" happened, Wen Yao and the others were facing forward, so they didn't know what was really going on, but he was walking from the opposite side and could see everything clearly.
The woman hadn't taken much force; at most, she was knocked off balance and staggered a few steps. She clearly accelerated and fell towards Wen Yao on purpose!
If Wen Yao hadn't reacted quickly, she would have fallen even more badly than that woman. It's obvious what kind of malicious intent she had to use such a trick on a pregnant woman in the eyes of everyone.
Thinking of the wound on Wen Yao's face, Fu Jinzhi felt a pang of sadness, feeling that Zhao Xi'er's fall was too light.
Wen Yao is such a narcissistic little peacock; if you praise her beauty without using many adjectives, she'll frown. But now, she's upset...
Seeing that Fu Jinzhi didn't react, Wen Yao waved her hand in front of him, "Hello?"
Fu Jinzhi instinctively grabbed Wen Yao's hand. The delicate touch made him feel even worse. He said in a deep voice, "You injured your face, but she only broke a bone."
The sound was neither too loud nor too soft, just enough for those around to hear clearly.
Zhao Xi'er, who had been panting and groaning pitifully, paused upon hearing this, and her fragile and innocent expression almost crumbled.
She endured the pain and played the innocent girl for so long, but Fu Jinzhi not only showed no pity, but instead said that she "only had a broken bone"?
Is Wen Yao's face some kind of national treasure, so precious that it's worth so much?
Mrs. Fu, who was getting anxious and angry, almost laughed out of frustration. She really didn't expect that her second son, who was outwardly warm but inwardly cold, would be such a love-struck fool.
Even if that's what they really thought, Zhao Xier was injured in their home, and as the host, they had to take some responsibility. How could they mock her?
Wen Yao was also dumbfounded. She appreciated Fu Jinzhi's discerning eye, but there was no need to go to such an absurd degree.
[Host, the male lead adores him.] 8848 commented.
