Chasing You Like a Tenacious Falcon

Chapter 23

The two avoided each other’s gaze as soon as their eyes met.

Quan Zhisui continued checking Wei Shixu’s injuries.

Wei Shixu also instinctively avoided her eyes for a moment, but looked back at her the next second, watching her anxious and concerned appearance.

Thump—

He felt his heart beat wildly once.

“What’s wrong with you?” Quan Zhisui’s hand hadn’t left his pulse yet, and she quickly noticed his abnormality.

“It hurts,” Wei Shixu said.

Quan Zhisui's forehead was sweating: "Where does it hurt?"

She was not yet 17 years old, and had not finished learning the inheritance from her teacher. She had only learned the basics of the profound traditional Chinese medicine, and could not figure out the cause of Wei Shixu's abnormal pulse at all.

This made Quan Zhisui very irritable!

Wei Shixu covered his heart without saying a word.

Quan Zhisui was so anxious that she said: "Did you hurt your internal organs!? Or do you have an underlying condition?"

Wei Shixu removed his hand from his chest and returned to normal right away: "No."

Restrained and enduring.

Quan Zhisui checked his pulse again. Three seconds later, she breathed a sigh of relief: "There should be no internal injuries."

Immediately afterwards, she began to examine his arms. The skin surface was full of blood and looked terrifying, but it was just external injuries without hurting the tendons and bones.

However, those wounds were not shallow, and it took a while for the bleeding to stop.

Quan Zhisui frowned, "Is the watch more valuable than your life?"

She could probably guess what had just happened. Wei Shixu was unwilling to hand over his watch, so those two robbers tried to forcibly take it. The watch strap was probably complicated and they didn't know how to undo it, injuring Wei Shixu in the process.

Wei Shixu was also stubborn, and would not give it to them. He even threw the watch out from the second floor.

Why did he like throwing things so much?

This also caused those two robbers to become furious and kick him several times.

"The watch is worthless," Wei Shixu seemed to say with a smile, his tone indifferent.

Quan Zhisui's frown deepened: "If it's worthless why be so stubborn about it?"

It was two against one, and you can't beat them. Besides, they were tall and strong, and you didn't learn any martial arts or fighting skills.

There was a flash of ferocity in Wei Shixu's eyes: "Just unhappy about it."

Quan Zhisui: "..."

She was completely speechless.

"It hurts," Wei Shixu said again.

He sat against the wall with one knee bent. His messy school uniform revealed a white undershirt. His fair neck was covered in sweat, soaking the front of his shirt.

Because Quan Zhisui had to help him check his injuries, the two were very close together in the crowded attic. When looking up, their eyes would meet directly.

If not for the inappropriate timing, this scene was quite suggestive.

Quan Zhisui was completely oblivious to these details. She was just puzzled and looked at him: "Are you pretending? Can you get up?"

Wei Shixu: "My leg is broken, I can't get up."

As he spoke, he stretched out his other un-kicked leg further out. From a certain angle, it looked like Quan Zhisui was squatting in front of him, as if he had surrounded her.

All he had to do was bump his knee and he could bring her to his chest.

That is, if she didn't snap his neck first.

Quan Zhisui touched his feet, pinched them twice, and looked up: "You're lying."

Wei Shixu: "It hurts, he just kicked me."

Quan Zhisui applied more force with her fingers: "Do you believe I can make you hurt more?"

Wei Shixu looked her up and down, the corners of his lips curled: "What kind of hurt? It's dirty here, not a good place to try..."

Slap!

Unexpectedly, Quan Zhisui slapped over, as if she was used to hitting him.

She didn't feel like anything was wrong either. She just hit him to make him stop talking nonsense, and then left downstairs without caring if he lived or died.

Wei Shixu: "..."

He was stunned by the hit, and it took him a good while to react to what had happened.

Did she really just hit him?

She would hit him after all!

Such a violent and direct method!

In the end, Wei Shixu still stood up by himself, shook the blood from his hand, and followed her footsteps.

Downstairs, the two who were beaten retreated to the ground. One was still crawling, trying to crawl out the door, while the other rolled down the stairs, unable to get up for a while, stunned.

Quan Zhisui grabbed both of them by the collar with one hand each, and dragged them away. As long as they were not dead, she didn't care about severity.

Wei Shixu silently followed behind her, not forgetting to pick up the watch he threw down.

However, when he suddenly saw her back, he laughed.

He laughed happily!

...

At the other end of the alley.

Wei's bodyguards arrived and rushed in to find him, accompanied by a doctor.

The sound of the ambulance rang nearby, and the police arrived soon after. The group of people lying on the ground were controlled.

Seeing that it was safe, Kong Mingze sat down against the wall.

"Why were you so sure it was a kidnapping?" Zhuge Ying thought for a moment and asked.

This matter was abnormal, but Kong Mingze's reaction was even more abnormal. She was a little worried that he had overreacted.

Kong Mingze's expression was unprecedentedly serious: "Not sure, but what if it was?"

Zhuge Ying didn't know how to respond. She was still in the throes of the frightening experience just now, and found it hard to calm down.

But she was also unharmed, those people didn't even touch her once.

Kong Mingze had shielded her all the way, protecting her all around with no gaps.

Zhuge Ying felt a warmth in her heart. Indeed, he was just bad at studying and a bit slow, but very reliable!

At this time, Kong Mingze cursed irritably, which was rare for him as a thorough failing student.

Wei Shixu was not found, so he felt uneasy.

Zhuge Ying looked at him in surprise, she couldn't believe he was actually crying? He didn't cry even after being beaten so badly just now.

Kong Mingze wiped his face: "It was my fault, I shouldn't have taken Wei Shixu through this alley, I should have had his bodyguards follow him the whole time."

Zhuge Ying shook her head: "It wasn't your fault, no one expected this to happen."

Kong Mingze, head lowered in regret: "It was my fault!"

Zhuge Ying comforted: "It really wasn't your fault, don't blame yourself. We're in modern times, it certainly wasn't a kidnapping. Besides, didn't his bodyguards go in to find him? Wei Shixu will be fine."

Kong Mingze looked at her, eyes red: "What if it was a kidnapping?"

Seeing his expression, Zhuge Ying was shocked that he would actually cry? He didn't even cry after being beaten so badly just now!

Kong Mingze wiped his eyes: "Wei Shixu was kidnapped when he was young."

Zhuge Ying: "When did this happen?!"

Kong Mingze: "Age 10."

Zhuge Ying felt it was absurd. How could something like this happen in this day and age?

Kong Mingze was silent for a long time with his head lowered. Suddenly he said, "Class monitor, did you know? My family actually didn't win the lottery."

Zhuge Ying: "..."

Kong Mingze's eyes were very red: "Let's not talk about this anymore. He doesn't want people to know these things."

Zhuge Ying really didn't know what to say. She thought for a moment, then reached out and gently patted Kong Mingze on the back.

At this moment, there were noisy sounds coming from the end of the alley.

"Ambulance! Doctor! Doctor come quickly! Over here!"

Wei Shixu's voice rang out steadily: "Not going to die."

"Young master! You're bleeding!"

Wei Shixu: "Shut up, noisy."
