Chapter 82: Conflict


Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations


Lin Xi took the empty bowl he handed her. Then, her round eyes flickered as she gestured in sign language worriedly. “Are you alright?”


s.h.i.+ Xiao didn’t know much about sign language, but he could understand what she meant. He forced a smile and comforted her, “I’m fine.”


He adjusted his sitting position and leaned against the straw mat in a more comfortable position. His voice was gentle as he said, “Did I scare you just now?”


Lin Xi also sat down beside him, her knees crossed in front of her chest. She revealed an innocent smile and shook her head.


With the help of the dazzling sunlight outside the door, s.h.i.+ Xiao saw the red marks on Lin Xi’s calf. Although it was difficult for him to move now, he still raised his hand and gently touched the place where she was scalded. Then, he rubbed it carefully.


Lin Xi originally didn’t know what he was going to do and was a little afraid. The moment his fingers touched her, she shrank back. Only when she realized that s.h.i.+ Xiao didn’t have any ill intentions did she feel relieved and she stared blankly at his hand that was ma.s.saging her leg.


s.h.i.+ Xiao’s movements were gentle, as if he was afraid of hurting her again. “Do you want to apply some ointment?”


Lin Xi shook her head and smiled as she gestured with sign language. “It’s fine. The pain will subside in a while.”


s.h.i.+ Xiao had been in the business world for too long and the struggles in the business world had already ruined his last delusions about humanity. He didn’t trust anyone, and was even on guard against his family.


He only trusted the people he had nurtured personally. Therefore, in the eyes of others, s.h.i.+ Xiao was cold-blooded and unfeeling.


This was also why everyone in the upper society was afraid of s.h.i.+ Xiao. This was because he was ruthless and knew how to play with everyone with benefits.


At this moment, s.h.i.+ Xiao’s gentleness seemed uncharacteristic. Even he himself was surprised by his actions. He knew very well that he didn’t have feelings for the woman in front of him. However, after being ruthless for so long, he couldn’t help but treat such a sincere person with kindness.


s.h.i.+ Xiao sneered as he a.n.a.lyzed his thoughts. Perhaps it was because he was injured that he didn’t have his guard up as usual and his heart softened.


With this thought in mind, his actions became even gentler.


However, it was only for a moment. s.h.i.+ Xiao only ma.s.saged her gently a few times before retracting his hand coldly.


He leaned his head against the wall and closed his eyes again as he said, “I want to rest for a while. Please close the door on your way out.”


Lin Xi was shocked by his sudden change. For a moment, she couldn’t figure out what she had done wrong. Why did his gentleness suddenly turn into coldness?


Lin Xi’s bright eyes were filled with uncertainty, but she still stood up carefully and walked out. Just as she was about to close the door, she suddenly heard s.h.i.+ Xiao’s words.


“Don’t worry. After I recover, I’ll bring you back to the country.” s.h.i.+ Xiao paused before saying again, “Take it as compensation for saving me.”


Lin Xi knew that he had his eyes closed and couldn’t see her actions, but she still used sign language to thank him before walking out and closing the door.


When s.h.i.+ Xiao was in high school, on the way home one day, he saw a fight through the car window of the Ferrari’s back seat. A group of people surrounded a boy and girl in the same school uniform as his school’s.


The boy took out a wooden stick and used his burly body to protect the girl behind him. Blood was flowing from his forehead, but his gaze was very determined.


However, this wasn’t the main reason why s.h.i.+ Xiao was attracted.


What attracted s.h.i.+ Xiao was the girl hiding behind this boy.


She wasn’t cowering behind him. Instead, she was looking at them with the same fierce gaze and saying something.


s.h.i.+ Xiao originally thought that she was just cursing. For a high school student to talk back to a group of menacing people, she did have some guts, but it also meant that she was foolish. Cursing would only earn herself more beatings and scoldings.


It wasn’t until the Ferrari approached the crowd that he heard the girl’s sonorous voice clearly. She was actually explaining the law to these hooligans.


s.h.i.+ Xiao was a little surprised. She was just a high school student, but she was so calm when she encountered trouble. Moreover, she knew the law at such a young age. She was really extraordinary.


s.h.i.+ Xiao admired the two of them, so he got his bodyguards to save them..
