Chapter 68: Chapter 68 The Majestic Hero

Fu Ying headed straight to her bedroom and never came downstairs.

She didn’t even eat dinner.

Fu Mingchuan knew she was still feeling uneasy, so he didn’t disturb her.

Fu Ying sat at her desk, staring at the two pieces of the jade hairpin. She picked them up and pieced them together, noticing a gap.

Beside her, Qibao squatted next to her, rubbing against her comfortingly, then meowed softly at her.

Fu Ying sighed, placed the two pieces of the jade hairpin back into the box, and locked it in the drawer.

When she was about to go to bed, Fu Mingchuan knocked on the door: "Yingying, Nanny Wu has washed your clothes, washed them several times, they smell nice."

Fu Ying took the clothes, nodded, and smiled: "Thanks, Dad."

Fu Mingchuan sighed softly, touched her head with tenderness: "You’ve been put through a lot."

"It’s okay, it’s all in the past."

Fu Mingchuan was startled, not expecting his daughter to say that.

The phrase "it’s okay, it’s all in the past" sounded so heartbreaking no matter how he heard it.

"Dad, I’m going to sleep now."

Fu Mingchuan felt a sense of relief in his heart: "Okay, go to sleep early."

Fu Ying hugged the clothes and closed the door of her bedroom. She neatly folded the skirt and put it back in the wardrobe.

Throughout the summer vacation, Fu Ying attended tutoring classes, and Fu Mingchuan also enrolled her in lute classes. Although it wasn’t necessary, Fu Ying often went.

As the days passed, sometimes when she was too busy with tutoring, she would forget to think about him.

He also didn’t visit their house with his elder brother, and counting the days, it had been almost half a month since she had seen him.

Sometimes, she didn’t even wish to see him.

Occasionally, when she calmed down and thought of him in her heart, she felt peaceful.

After leaving the tutoring class, Fu Ying went to find Xia Jinyun.

Xia Jinyun was on her lunch break and saw the little girl sitting on a stone bench waiting for her as she came out of the inpatient department.

"Jinyun, you look really good in a white coat."

Xia Jinyun smiled, her eyes tender: "Such sweet words."

Fu Ying really liked Xia Jinyun, not just for her gentle nature but also her gentle appearance.

"I’m not just flattering you, I’m telling the truth."

Xia Jinyun couldn’t help but laugh: "I like hearing this truth."

Xia Jinyun sat beside her, looked down at her lute, and expressed surprise: "You can play it."

"A little."

Xia Jinyun stared at the little girl in front of her, finding it a bit unbelievable: "I heard from Uncle Fu that you also excel in calligraphy and chess, even ranked first in Jiazhou City’s youth competition."

Fu Ying nodded: "Yes."

The little girl appeared indifferent, as if she didn’t think these talents were anything to boast about.

But Xia Jinyun thought the girl was quite remarkable.

She heard she was an academic underachiever, yet she knew quite a lot of small talents.

Fu Ying had her head down, solving problems, and when she finally figured out an answer, she looked up to see Xia Jinyun staring at her with a peculiar glance.

Fu Ying blinked her tea-colored eyes and asked: "Jinyun, why are you looking at me like that."

"Just think you’re quite impressive. You’re not old, but you seem to know everything."

Fu Ying shook her head, sighing: "I don’t know English."

"Pfft..." Xia Jinyun couldn’t help but laugh, "I’m not good at English either, you could ask your elder brother to tutor you, he’s a straight-A student."

Fu Ying paused, clutching her pen tightly. She spoke about her elder brother while her mind raced with thoughts of Shen Liguang, so she felt a bit panicked: "Jinyun, tell me, what was my elder brother like in school?"

Xia Jinyun thought for a moment, smiling: "Your elder brother was definitely a straight-A student and quite popular with the girls. Oh, and his friend Shen Liguang, they were inseparable."

"Although his grades were also good, he often skipped classes and wasn’t as well-behaved as your elder brother, who was the class president and often had to cover for him."

"At that time, all the girls in our class were talking about them, your older brother and Shen Liguang considered quite the celebrities at school, all the girls liked them."

"I have had a crush on your older brother since junior high, and your younger brother and I attended the same school, it was always your older brother who would pick him up after school."

"Unfortunately, by the time I finally got into the same high school as your older brother, he was already in his senior year, and when I was in sophomore year, he went to University B."

While listening, Fu Ying suddenly laughed.

It turns out he was quite the mischievous student.

No wonder he looks serious and yet not quite serious at the same time.

Xia Jinyun frowned, looking at her suspiciously, "Why are you giggling like an idiot?"

Fu Ying pursed her lips, eyes downcast, she said, "My older brother picking up my younger brother from school, hahaha... I find it funny..."

Xia Jinyun laughed along, "I think it’s funny too, but it’s time for work, I need to leave."

Fu Ying nodded, "Yeah, I should head home too."

After parting with Xia Jinyun, Fu Ying boarded the no. 7 bus.

She didn’t expect to run into him there; she just wanted to travel the road he once did.

The bus suddenly moved slowly, starting and stopping intermittently.

The crowd ahead was noisy, and vehicles honked incessantly in a chaotic, noisy scene.

Fu Ying looked up to see what was happening outside.

Outside the residential area’s wall was a charred patch, and several firefighters were standing by the road, packing up their gear.

They had apparently just extinguished a big fire and were getting ready to return.

The bus was finally about to move past this section of the road.

Shen Liguang, leading his team out of the residential area, saw the girl sitting by the window on the bus, her head bowed, writing or drawing in a notebook.

With the crowd dense, the bus would stop and then move, then stop again, shaking the girl’s body with the motion. She no longer wore pigtails, just a simple ponytail, with strands of hair hanging over her forehead.

Shen Liguang stared at the girl, unable to take his eyes off her.

Lately, he’s been so busy, he didn’t even have time to meet her under the pretense of giving her a hair clip.

Last time she said no, he didn’t understand why.

While Shen Liguang was lost in thought, Fu Ying suddenly turned her head and looked out the window, her eyes meeting his.

Shen Liguang panicked a bit, quickly looking away, uncomfortably turning to Qian Zheng, "Go, take the injured to the hospital."

"?????" Qian Zheng was confused, "Didn’t we already call for an ambulance?"

"That, did you collect the equipment inside?"

"Isn’t it in your hands?"

Shen Liguang: "Oh..."

Qian Zheng speechless: "Boss, what’s up with you?"

As the bus moved further away, Shen Liguang’s tense body relaxed.

He knew he looked disheveled now, freshly emerged from a fire scene, his face covered in soot, hardly a sight to behold.

Shen Liguang suddenly froze.

Since when did he care so much about his image in front of a little girl?

The panic earlier, that didn’t seem like him at all.

...

After the bus left that segment of the road, Fu Ying slowly lowered her head in a daze.

Her fingers clutched a pencil, sketching the man’s image she just saw.

In his firefighter suit, holding a firefighter helmet in his hand, his hair pulled back, sweaty, his face covered in soot.

Fu Ying never thought he appeared disheveled; quite the contrary, she found him very handsome, very handsome indeed.

His appearance while rescuing others was the most handsome.

Like a formidable, awe-inspiring hero.
