Chapter 1275: Chapter 1097: Xiao’ai, Dabao, Xiaobei

Zhao Datu had no intention of calling a truce, and he actually had the upper hand, but when Tian Xiaobei said he wanted to see Axiang, Zhao Datu wouldn’t comply. He immediately went up to grab Tian Xiaobei and threw him to the ground, with Tian Xiaobei clinging onto Zhao Datu, both men tumbling down together.

It took a while before Axiang regained consciousness, sensing blood oozing from her head. Upon touching, her hand was indeed covered with a sticky, thick liquid.

Seeing the two still scuffling before her, Axiang felt as though an invisible hand was dragging her steadily into the abyss of darkness, pulling her deeper and deeper...

Not caring about the two fighting anymore, Axiang slowly got up and made her way back into the house. She grabbed a piece of cloth to press against her head, relieved that the bleeding stopped after a while. Then she went to the kitchen, applied some ash to the wound, and hastily wrapped it up with another piece of cloth.

She just felt a numb sensation inside her heart.

...

Tian Xiaobei and Zhao Datu continued to fight until they could no longer move, then finally separated. Zhao Datu lay on the ground, gasping for air, while Tian Xiaobei, remembering he had to travel early the next morning, crawled and rolled his way back to the village chief’s house.

Villagers stayed indoors after dark, so no one knew that Tian Xiaobei returned with his face a patchwork of bruises. Only the Doctor’s assistant, who shared a room with Tian Xiaobei, was aware of his injuries. The assistant quickly applied some medicine to him and then asked, "Young Master, how did you get so hurt?"

"It’s nothing serious, just had a fight with a dog in the village. Let’s not talk about it, better get some sleep."

"A fight with a dog? Young Master, you used to be so afraid of dogs. Fighting with one shows you really have changed a lot here!" The assistant believed the environment could indeed change a person, for Tian Xiaobei used to be such a refined individual.

"Well, people change!"

...

The next day.

As soon as it was light, Xia Dabao came to call on Tian Xiaobei.

She hadn’t slept all night, tossing and turning, sometimes fantasizing about her married life with Tian Xiaobei. If they got married, she’d surely move to Provincial City. What kind of life would that be?

Supporting her husband and educating her children? Helping Xiaobei become a distinguished Doctor?

But Xia Dabao felt she hadn’t had enough fun yet; such a life would definitely make her panic with boredom.

Tian Xiaobei wouldn’t return to the village either, as he had never been happy there.

As for the future... Xia Dabao thought there were too many unknowns in the future.

"Abao, you’re here?" Tian Xiaobei also woke up early that day. For one thing, he had been in a fight the night before, and his bones almost fell apart, leaving his entire body aching. For another, he was excited because he was finally going back to where he truly belonged.

"Yeah, have you packed your things?" Xia Dabao asked, then noticed the injuries on Tian Xiaobei’s face. "Oh my, what happened to you?"

"It’s nothing, last night... I had a fight with Zhao Datu!" Tian Xiaobei said with a smile, thinking he would have to lie to Xia Dabao, but surprisingly, he spoke the truth quite easily.

"Zhao Datu hit you? That jerk, I’m going to settle the score with him right now!" Xia Dabao said angrily, ready to turn around.

But Tian Xiaobei held her back, "Abao, it’s fine, Zhao Datu didn’t get off lightly either. We’re even now, and besides, he always wanted to beat me up, right? Now he’s had his wish, and so have I, let’s consider this matter settled!"

"Did you apply medicine to it?" Xia Dabao asked, somewhat concerned.
