Chapter 307: 310 Did you hurt him?

Chapter 310: You injured him?

"I’m really sorry, Sister Shen, for making you worry again."

Xiao Yi had thought that, given Xiaoxiao’s personality, she would definitely ask where he had been and what he had been doing, and possibly even delve into some old issues to settle the matter of his sudden disappearance. He was even prepared to answer those questions, but surprisingly, she didn’t ask anything, merely expressing relief that he was safe and sound.

This touched him even more deeply.

"Let’s not talk about that anymore. Aren’t you just making me feel embarrassed? If I hadn’t been so impulsive at the beginning, you wouldn’t have gotten involved in this matter, and none of this would have happened."

Xiaoxiao shook her head and then remembered the purpose of her visit. She straightforwardly said, "Right, didn’t I mention finding you a bodyguard? I’ve brought someone with me, an absolute expert. I specially asked my brother for him. With him by your side, I’ll feel much more at ease."

As she spoke, she was about to call out to someone.

But before she could, Xiao Yi stopped her. He looked at Xiaoxiao sincerely and said, "Sister Shen, wait a moment, hear me out."

"What is it, Xiao Yi, don’t be stubborn. That Liu Dongjun isn’t an ordinary person. He really dares to do anything. I know Chen Jianguo has your back, and in G City, Chen Jianguo is quite a figure. However, compared to Liu Dongjun, he’s nothing. Even if Jianguo witnessed it, he couldn’t save you."

Xiaoxiao looked at Xiao Yi with an unusually serious expression.

She knew that Xiao Yi had never liked having bodyguards. His previous rejections of her suggestions hadn’t seemed like a big deal, considering his unique upbringing that might make him dislike ostentation and bodyguards. She hadn’t pressed the issue much, but now, she felt that she could no longer afford to let things continue this way.

Compared to life, all else was trivial and could be set aside.

"Sister Shen, I really don’t need one."

Xiao Yi looked at Xiaoxiao’s serious expression and gave a bitter smile. Before Xiaoxiao could say anything, he continued earnestly, "Hear me out, because I think Liu Dongjun won’t be looking for me anymore for a while, since I met him this afternoon."

When he had entered earlier, Xiao Yi had thought long and hard but couldn’t find a way out. In the end, he had decided to just tell Xiaoxiao the truth if all else failed.

After this afternoon’s incident involving Wang Qingqing, he also felt that it might be better to clarify things he could share with her, instead of keeping secrets and risking misunderstandings later.

"You met Liu Dongjun? Are you alright?"

Xiaoxiao’s beautiful eyes widened in shock as she stared at Xiao Yi, her voice involuntarily rising as she uncontrollably grabbed his shoulders.

"Yes, I met him, hehe, I ran into him during dinner."

Xiao Yi hadn’t expected Xiaoxiao to react so strongly and was momentarily taken aback before he nodded, smiling and gesturing reassuringly while gently patting the back of her hand.

"Sorry, I got a bit too nervous. When you encountered him, he didn’t attack you, did he?"

Xiaoxiao quickly regained her composure, realizing that since Xiao Yi had returned unharmed and was standing in front of her, naturally, he was alright. A hint of embarrassment appeared on her face, but she immediately looked at Xiao Yi with a stunned, incredulous expression.

"He did."

Xiao Yi gave a bitter smile. As soon as Liu Dongjun had seen him, his expression had been like a deep-seated vendetta, and his attack had been exceptionally fierce. How could he possibly not attack? However, he couldn’t understand why, since he had only helped Xiaoxiao once by deceiving Liu, and at most, had hurt him a bit during a handshake—which had been initiated by Liu himself. Why would Liu harbor such deep hatred for him?

"He did?"

Xiaoxiao’s eyes widened, her face filled with puzzlement, clearly expressing her thought: If he attacked you, how could you possibly have come back unscathed?

"Yes, he really did attack, but he was no match for me. I injured him."

Xiao Yi could see the doubt in Xiaoxiao’s eyes and nodded slowly as he explained.

"You injured him?"

Xiaoxiao looked at Xiao Yi in utter disbelief.

"Yes, he was the one who attacked first, so it was only self-defense."

Xiao Yi nodded, feeling somewhat embarrassed as he explained, thinking that Xiaoxiao was blaming him for injuring Liu Dongjun. Although Xiaoxiao didn’t like Liu, after all, it seemed that they knew each other, and Xiao Yi had been rather angry and excessive when he retaliated.

"Enough, Xiao Yi, what are you talking about at this time? You’re still joking with me. I’m being serious here, Xiao Yi. I know you don’t want a bodyguard, but you don’t have to lie to me like this. Also, I’m telling you, at this time, it’s only safe to have someone with you, do you understand!"

Xiaoxiao’s expression suddenly turned stern, and she looked somewhat angry.

Xiaoxiao was actually quite annoyed now. Xiao Yi usually seemed sensible enough when speaking, but why was he being so unreasonable about this matter? To avoid having a bodyguard, he even lied to her, and it was such an improbable lie.

In her view, Xiao Yi’s was an extremely naive lie. Who was Liu Dongjun? Who was he? Yet he claimed he had beaten Liu Dongjun?

"I..."

Xiao Yi was completely taken aback. How had he told a lie? Pointing at himself, he began to anxiously gather his thoughts to clarify to Xiaoxiao, but before he could finish, she interrupted him, "Alright, Xiao Yi, let’s settle this matter. Such a lie is really pointless. Even if you were to lie, at least make it a credible one, like encountering some hidden master who helped you or something. With your small build, you injured Liu Dongjun? Listen to me, Liu Dongjun is from Glass City, and I know very well who he is. Let me put it this way, you’ve seen the movie ’The Bodyguard,’ right? The bodyguards there are skilled, right? But let me tell you, even they can fight three people at once without breaking a sweat!"

"..."

Listening to Xiaoxiao’s tirade, Xiao Yi was rendered speechless. Why wouldn’t she believe the truth he was telling her? Besides, while Liu Dongjun could indeed take on those three in the movie, why couldn’t he defeat him then? With that kind of bodyguard, he himself could take on thirty without even panting!

What kind of logic was that!
