Suddenly slapped again, Jin Yu was slapped into a daze.
What had he done to her? Thᴇ link to the origɪn of this information rᴇsts ɪn ɴovelfire.net
Despite feeling a surge of irritation in his lower abdomen, his "brother" hadn’t disrespected her!
If this had been before, Jin Yu could have pinned Xu Niannian to the ground and rubbed her into submission, but now he didn’t dare.
Perhaps out of a sense of guilt, after finding her, Jin Yu felt that no matter what excessive thing she did to him, it was warranted.
Compared to the slap he received, she had lost much more.
Xu Niannian’s slap was a pure instinctive reaction because he had placed his hand where he shouldn’t have, on her chest.
The slap was so forceful that her hand was numbed by it.
Not to mention how painful it was for Jin Yu.
She had just been rescued by him; the next second, she slapped his face, and Xu Niannian suddenly felt guilty.
"Umm... Are you okay?"
Jin Yu twisted his head back, corrected from the slap she gave him, his face showing five distinct finger marks, with a trace of blood seeping from the corner of his mouth.
"Does your hand hurt?" he asked expressionlessly.
Xu Niannian thought Jin Yu was being sarcastic and felt even more guilty, whispering back, "It’s your fault for touching randomly, it was a... conditional reflex."
"Hmm?" Jin Yu raised an eyebrow, "Where did I touch you?"
"You still say." Xu Niannian glared, she had been feeling guilty before, but upon hearing his deliberate question, her face puffed up in anger. If he hadn’t touched her inappropriately, she wouldn’t have hit him.
However, she had indeed hit him too hard; his face was already noticeably swollen.
Jin Yu couldn’t remember how many times she had slapped him, with a burning pain across his face.
He seemed to be getting used to it.
Since being in the hospital, it had been five or six hours. Thinking she hadn’t eaten anything, Jin Yu silently left the ward.
Xu Niannian bit her lower lip, worried he might not teach her self-defense techniques anymore because he was angry.
Her foot was only injured, and it wasn’t serious. After cleaning the wound on her forehead, it didn’t seem to be big and didn’t even require stitching.
Jin Yu had even arranged a separate ward for her, making Xu Niannian feel somewhat remorseful.
Seeing him dazed after being hit, it seemed like he hadn’t meant to touch her on purpose.
Her fingers were still red now, Xu Niannian gripped her right wrist with her left hand, filled with remorse.
Why did her hand react faster than her brain?
It was done now, Jin Yu must be angry.
If it hadn’t been for him today, she wouldn’t have been able to get away from that thug.
"Ah..." Xu Niannian sighed helplessly.
Continuing to sigh wasn’t her style. At worst, she would apologize to him later, and if he was upset, she would let him slap her back.
With this in mind, Xu Niannian relaxed and hobbled to Xu Zhiqiang’s ward.
Jin Yu left the hospital, thinking that the patient should eat something light, and bought two servings of porridge and two side dishes from a nearby restaurant.
While paying, the small shop’s owner clapped him on the shoulder amicably, "Big brother, your wife hit you, didn’t she? I’ll throw in an extra side dish for you, oh... life is tough."
Jin Yu: "...Thank you, no need."
His tongue circled the root of his teeth, Jin Yu winced from the pain and raised his hand to rub his cheek, which was frighteningly hot.
"Sister, I’m fine, you don’t have to worry," Xu Zhiqiang lay in bed, seeing Xu Niannian look at him with tearful eyes, struggling to sit up to comfort her.
"Don’t move." Xu Niannian choked up, going over to press on his shoulder, "Just lie down properly."
Beyond the injuries on his body, Xu Zhiqiang also had a long gash on his forehead, which was caused by a piece of wood that flew off when Du Jiahao smashed him with a chair.
A white bandage wrapped around it, soaked red with blood.
