nChapter 84 – Don’t Touch Me (彆碰我)

nJiang Xia’s heart thumped. The eyes he used to look at Qiao Hongye were a bit dazed, lost.

nJing Yunzhao hit her? Aren’t they sisters? Even though Jiang Xia believed that Jing Yunzhao was really insensible and treated her sister Qiao Hongye badly, he still believed that Jing Yunzhao owed the Qiaos. Although she was not close with Qiao Hongye, Jing Yunzhao would still usually give way to her little sister. But who would have thought it was actually the other way round!

nJiang Xia felt uneasy. Ever since he was beaten up by Jing Yunzhao, he naturally avoided Jing Yunzhao out of fear. How would he dare approach her on his own?

nBut looking at the Qiao Hongye crying so pitifully before him, his heart tightened. If he did not approach Jing Yunzhao and settle things, wouldn’t Qiao Hongye be very disappointed in him?

nJiang Xia was debating with himself, but Qiao Hongye was looking down on this boy, extremely disappointed in him.

nShe was not blind. This person had expressed his amicable intentions to her many times before. There was no way he only wanted to become friends. He definitely liked her. To be able to make Jiang Xia, the love of many girls, care so much about her, she naturally felt proud. However, despite her confidence in her charms, she was still extremely disappointed in Jiang Xia.

nWas there something wrong with the eyes of those girls who liked Jiang Xia? He may be good-looking, but he was only a good-for-nothing. He can’t even stand up for a woman. He was not even qualified to be a man, more like a useless waste!

n“I-is your face okay?” Jiang Xia struggled with himself for a while and finally said something. But he didn’t say the right thing.

nQiao Hongye’s heart felt stifled. She cried even harder than before. Jiang Xia was panicking, “Do you want me to buy ointment for it?”

nQiao Hongye had already rolled her eyes numerous times in her heart. She wanted to throw this idiot down the building!

n

n

nQiao Hongye had originally thought that someone was finally willing to stand up for her, but she didn’t think that such a good-for-nothing would come!

nShe had already cried for quite a while. If she were to continue crying, not only would the people who would blame Jing Yunzhao not increase, people might start saying that she was a faker. Her crying act had to end. She could only wipe her tears and prepare to return to class.

n“Don’t go yet, Qiao Hongye. I still think I should take you to the hospital! After all, a girl’s face is their most important thing…” This was his crush. How could Jiang Xia let Qiao Hongye leave “dispirited.” He decided to comfort his Goddess.

nQiao Hongye couldn’t help but glare at him. Her dissatisfaction was a bit faint. Instead, she looked as if she was grumbling in a flirtatious manner, “No need for you to care…”

nJiang Xia’s heart felt sore, “No, you were injured outside of our classroom. It’s all my fault for not managing my classmates well. I’ll take responsibility for you. Let’s go the hospital. Your face is already swollen. It wouldn’t look good if we just let it be.”

nAs Jiang Xia was talking, his hands weren’t being appropriate. He couldn’t control himself and reached towards Qiao Hongye’s face.

n

n

nWhen his cold fingertips touched her, Qiao Hongye’s eyes widened and took a few steps back, “Don’t touch me!”

nThis Jiang Xia was doing this on purpose, right?! Did he want to start some rumors between them?

nQiao Hongye had her fair share of spreading such rumors behind people’s backs, so she naturally avoided things that would cause rumors about herself. Even though she got along with many boys and had many people chasing after her, she would never have any intimate interactions with others while in public. What Jiang Xia just did had obviously touched her bottom line.

n“I mean, my face still hurts, so don’t touch it. I also don’t need you to take me to the hospital,” said Qiao Hongye as she took a deep breath, holding back.

nJiang Xia was already self-assuming. How could he have thought that he was causing trouble for Qiao Hongye? Instead, he thought that Qiao Hongye was too kind and sensible. She was so reserved with him because she did not want to cause him trouble!

nBut when he thought about escorting Qiao Hongye to the hospital, not only would he be able to be of service to his crush, he would also be able to get some alone time with her, his eyes shined.
