Chapter 47: Injured, Feeling Insecure

But her hand still gently pinched his waist through his clothes.

“Hmm…”

The person in her arms shuddered, and Fang Chuning could feel his breathing become heavier. She had seen this kind of scene in a certain book, where things would get “heated” if it went further.

“Xu classmate?”

Xu Muzhou raised his head, his misty eyes gazing at her adoringly, “I really want to hear you call my name.” Fang Chuning blinked, hesitating: “Xu… Muzhou?”

Excluding roll call in class, this seemed to be the first time she had called his name. It felt a bit strange on her tongue, very unfamiliar.

Xu Muzhou let out a pleased soft laugh, lightly pecking her cheek, his eyes tender as water, “Ning Ning…” This call made Fang Chuning’s whole body tingle.

Could her name really sound so nice when called?

Resisting the urge, she still let him go to sit back, “Let’s eat, let’s eat.” Having just had a sweet moment, Xu Muzhou was reluctant to let go, tugging at her sleeve, wanting to sit back on her lap, but Fang Chuning stopped him: “Hurry and eat, the food is getting cold.” This feeling of coaxing a child… Fang Chuning’s heart suddenly warmed, this is what dating is!

The two lingered for a long time, at most only kissing, until nine o’clock in the evening when Fang Chuning prepared to leave under his reluctant gaze.

“It’s not like we won’t see each other again, don’t be like this.” Fang Chuning amusedly pinched his face, the feeling smooth and soft.

Xu Muzhou nestled into her arms, his hands clinging to her shoulders, his watery eyes half-lidded, “…Can’t we stay a bit longer?”

“No, I’ve been going back so late these past few days, my father will ask questions.”

Xu Muzhou looked up, “Are you that afraid of them knowing about us?”

“It’s not that…” Fang Chuning didn’t know how to explain to him, “It’s just too early now, not appropriate.”

“But I feel so insecure like this.” He looked somewhat anxious, “Will you suddenly stop liking me in the future?”

Xu Muzhou dared not think of this possibility, it was undoubtedly the thing he feared most so far. He didn’t know what he would do if one day she really stopped liking him.

She seemed to be his only spiritual support; if she disappeared, he might go crazy.

Fortunately, the girl quickly responded to him without any hesitation, “I won’t. I don’t think I’m that kind of person. As long as you still like me, I will always like you too.” Her smile was sincere and pure, like a magic potion quickly soothing his heart.

Xu Muzhou thought, he would be willing to do anything to make her always feel the same about him.

The next day, Gao Qiong came to her excitedly, saying that they had found the group who had beaten her up, and wanted her to come along.

“If you’re that angry, why not just call people to beat them back? Or just tell your mother, give them a lesson, that’s all. Why do you need me to go?”

“If I tell my mother, they’ll think I’m scared. Last time they only got the upper hand because I was alone. This time with you, we can definitely beat them into submission!”

Fighting wasn’t something new, but now Fang Chuning had “reformed” and really didn’t want to cause trouble.

“Or you could come with me and make them apologize, we don’t necessarily have to use violence.” Gao Qiong looked very generous, “At least to make me feel better.”

I don’t believe you, if Fang Chuning didn’t know her well, she might have thought she was a reasonable person.

In the end, she agreed. Gao Qiong had people find out where those people usually passed by, and they went to ambush them right after school.

Fang Chuning let her wait there alone, while she sat in the car sending messages to Xu Muzhou. The chat box was full of animated pictures she had sent, she never knew these pictures could be so funny and cute before.

The corners of her mouth hadn’t dropped once.

Until Gao Qiong called her from over there, Fang Chuning finally put away her phone and went over.

She saw four people facing off with Gao Qiong. Fang Chuning sized them up, their short-sleeved school uniforms clearly marked with the characters “Heng Zhong” on the sleeves. She was a bit surprised, because this school was a poor school that Hong Jie had sponsored before, and it wasn’t in Z city, but on the edge of two big cities.

If she remembered correctly, wasn’t that school quite far from here? How could they wander to this place?

The girl in the lead had an expressionless face, three buttons of her collar undone, revealing half of her ample chest and a tattoo. Looking closely, all four of them had tattoos, and they deliberately showed them off.

It was hard to imagine that people with full-body tattoos like this were students, not much different from street thugs. But what puzzled Fang Chuning more was, why would they come from so far away to plot against Gao Qiong?

Before she could figure it out, Gao Qiong impatiently stated their purpose, “Hey, you beat me up last time because you outnumbered me. This time you can still outnumber us, if you win you can go, if you lose you have to slap yourselves and apologize.”

But that girl didn’t respond to her, her slightly dull eyes looked at Fang Chuning, “Are you Fang Chuning from the Fang family?”

This feeling was like they were here for her, Fang Chuning’s eyelid twitched, “What about it?”

“Our boss is looking for you, you need to come with us to a place.”

“Boss?” Fang Chuning’s expression was strange, “Aren’t you students?”

The girl was like a member of a multi-level marketing organization, “You don’t need to worry about that, you just need to know our boss is looking for you, let’s go.”

Fang Chuning’s gaze swept across their faces, suddenly seeming to understand something, “I’m afraid that’s not possible, after all, I don’t know you.”

Seeing that talking didn’t work, the girl wanted to step forward and use force, but after two steps she was kicked in the abdomen by Gao Qiong and staggered back. Gao Qiong’s expression was gloomy, “Don’t fucking tell me you beat me up just to lure her out.”

Although it was infuriating, this seemed to be the fact.

Gao Qiong angrily went to fight with them, and soon her face was bruised. A girl pulled out a stick from somewhere, Fang Chuning saw it and jumped up with a back kick, sending her flying five meters away.

This situation made the fighting people freeze, the other three immediately turned their attention to her. Actually, Fang Chuning was confident in fighting one against four, but she wasn’t brainless. Seeing they couldn’t beat her, three people restrained her while the one with the iron rod swung at Gao Qiong.

This made Fang Chuning lose focus, and then her elbow was heavily struck, she vaguely heard the sound of bone cracking, the pain making her break out in a cold sweat.

The girl also seemed surprised she could hit her, her equally bruised face was stunned for a moment, the group exchanged a glance, and actually just ran away like that.

Fang Chuning went to the hospital, her arm was diagnosed with a bone fracture, needing a period of rest to heal.

Only Gao Qiong knew about her going to the hospital. She specially made a call back home telling Fang Tianli that she would be staying at Gao Qiong’s house for two nights, not wanting him to know about her injury.
