Chapter 75: Kabaedon

She turned back to Wang Jingyuan and tugged his sleeve, careful not to touch the wound.

She pulled Wang Jingyuan and said, "Let’s go, I’ll accompany you to the hospital."

When they first started walking towards the subway station, the blood kept dripping onto the path.

It scared Lu Qingyan witless.

Was it getting worse? Was he going to collapse?

She was practically vibrating with nerves, but every time her eyes met his, he’d give her that crooked, I’m-fine-don’t-make-a-fuss grin. It irritated her more than it reassured her.

But later on, the wound didn’t bleed anymore and Lu Qingyan’s heart could finally settle down.

When they arrived at the hospital to get emergency treatment, the doctor gave him several stitches.

The doctor saw that Wang Jingyuan was quite handsome, so they were a bit more talkative.

"You, young people, it’s fine if you want to fight, but you even have to use knives and other weapons. Do you think you’ll be so lucky every time?"

Wang Jingyuan didn’t respond.

He was biting on a stick of candy he’d taken from the nurse’s desk like a bored child at a dentist’s.

"You hurt your arm this time, which can still be considered a trivial matter, but what if you had hurt your lungs or other important areas, then it might have become a matter of life or death. Would you still have the luxury to sit here right now?"

The doctor scolded as he disinfected the wound. "You wouldn’t be sitting here with your little girlfriend acting all concerned, you’d be in the ICU or worse!"

Lu Qingyan, who had been standing quietly at the side, nodded seriously—until that last part registered.

Originally, Lu Qingyan stood by and nodded in agreement as the doctor talked, but unexpectedly, the doctor turned to look at her and was foul-mouthed as he said, "And as his girlfriend, you are also quite insensitive. Your boyfriend is doing his best to not trouble others, yet you let him go and fight? If you care about him, rein him in."

Lu Qingyan: ? ? ?

Wang Jingyuan supported his chin with his other hand.

When he heard what was said, he lazily turned his head to look at her with a smile that wasn’t quite a smile.

Wang Jingyuan looked up from his candy with an amused sparkle in his eyes.

He turned lazily to her, resting his uninjured hand on his cheek, head tilted with exaggerated interest.

He raised an eyebrow. "You heard the man," he murmured, his lips curling into a grin. "What’s your explanation, girlfriend?"

Who would have imagined that after Lu Qingyan met his gaze, she was silent for a few seconds before suddenly turning to him, then, as if she had eaten a leopard’s gall and gained incredible courage, she stretched out her hand and swatted the top of his head.

Lu Qingyan stared at him for a beat, her mouth half open.

Then something inside her snapped.

She marched over and, without hesitation, raised her hand—and smacked the top of his head.

"OW—!" he winced dramatically.

"You devil," she said with a deadpan face. "Did you not hear what the doctor said? This troublesome thing, if you dare get into another fight, I swear I’ll finish what they started and send you to the morgue myself."

At this time, the doctor exposed a gratified expression and followed suit, "Exactly, for this kind of troublesome person, you have to do it like this. Otherwise, it’ll only get worse."

After they’ve obtained the prescription and listened to the doctor’s explanation of the precautions, the two left the office one after the other.

Lu Qingyan was stopped by Wang Jingyuan as soon as she walked out the door.

His expression wasn’t very good as he pressed his other, uninjured hand onto the wall next to her.

He raised an eyebrow and lengthened his tone as he said, "Devil?"

When this word came out of his mouth, it seemed to hide an inexplicable emotion as it made Lu Qingyan’s heart tremble.

There was something dangerous in his tone—playful, but with a flicker of real emotion. His voice dipped low, smooth like smoke curling around her ribs.

She let out a cough and turned her head slightly to the side to avoid his stare. Then she heard him say something with what seems to be a sneer.

"...troublesome thing?"

Her eyes widened slightly. Crap.

Lu Qingyan reacted very quickly this time, "I was only acting out a scene according to the circumstances, there was no intention of looking down on you or threatening you. Seatmate, you’re so handsome, smart, generous, and calm. The kind of guy who definitely wouldn’t hold a grudge, right?"

Lu Qingyan was silent for a second, then suddenly said, "That..."

"That’s what I said, but thank you so much for today. If it weren’t for you, I probably wouldn’t have had an easy time."

She whispered, "Did you already know that those people wouldn’t give up so easily?"

So you decided to follow me out of the bar.

Wang Jingyuan lowered his eyes to look at her quietly, then said in a indifferent tone, "There’s nothing to thank me for, it was on the way."

When Han Ming rushed over, he saw such a scene.

Why was Wang Jingyuan kabedon-ing[1] Xiao Yan???

So coquettish.

"Fuck, Wang Jingyuan, you’re standing there like a male lead!" Han Ming exploded. "Are you even hurt? I thought you were dying!"

When Wang Jingyuan heard Han Ming’s voice, he lightly wrinkled his eyebrows and turned his head around to look at him with an extremely unfriendly expression on his face.

"..."

"I was peacefully ranking up in King of Glory when I got the call," Han Ming huffed. "Do you know how rare it is to find good teammates? I was playing to advance my rank! A match to advance my rank!! My little sister finally agreed to queue with me—and we were winning! Then I hear you got stabbed, so I disconnected. DISCONNECTED. And now she’s crying and calling me a traitor!"
