"Bang, bang, bang …"

Qin Xiaohai could clearly hear his own heartbeat, which was like the thumping of a drum. She subconsciously pressed her chest, as if her heart was about to jump out.

This was an industrial area. It was now late at night, and all the workers had already finished their work. The dim and unclear street lamps flickered, and with a "swift movement", they were completely extinguished.

Qin Xiaohai stopped abruptly, his footsteps becoming clearer and clearer behind him.

Sweat dripped from her forehead. She stretched out her hand to feel her clothes before realizing that she was trembling. She looked up at the next lighted street lamp and suddenly accelerated toward the light.

She was quickly blocked by footsteps that were not hidden at all.

"Whatdoyouwanttodo? Ihavenomoney. " Qin Xiaohai looked at the two of them warily as he spoke, trying his best to keep his voice calm but unable to conceal the trembling in his voice.

One of the sturdy black men stepped forward and held out his hand. "Bag, givemeyourbag."

"OK, OK." Qin Xiaotao didn't intend to struggle at all. There were no valuables in her bag except … "But …"

She opened her bag as she spoke, but as soon as she made a move, the black guy came over and pulled her bag. Qin Xiaohai subconsciously tried to protect her. "NO, NO, NO, wait, please …"

However, those few people didn't intend to wait for her to finish. Seeing her so anxious to protect the bag, they were even more certain that there was something precious inside.

The black man shook off Qin Xiaotao with a wave of his hand. He didn't even need the rest to do anything.

Without warning, Qin Xiaotao fell backwards. Her forehead knocked against a hard object, and her vision blurred.

Before she lost consciousness, she vaguely saw a slender figure walking in their direction, but she could not make out his face.

There seemed to be the sound of fighting, and after a while, the world quieted down again. She felt herself falling into a warm embrace, and she could hear the man's strong heartbeat, which made her feel more at ease.

It was as if she had subconsciously realized that she was out of danger and her mind had relaxed. She had completely lost consciousness.

Shen Xuming placed Qin Xiaohai on the bed and said to Ye Chimu, who had a dazed look on his face, "Bring the medicine box over."

The medicine box was brought over by Shen Xi Ming. More accurately, it was prepared by Luo Min, the mother of a doctor. Who would have thought that it would actually come in handy today.

"Just you wait. I'll be right there."

Ye Chimu quickly brought the medicine chest over, then stood behind and watched Shen Xuming treat the wound on her forehead.

"Isn't this the little girl from Uncle Qin's house? Why is she here? And the wound on her head? What's going on?"

It was unknown whether it was Shen Ximing who accidentally touched her wound, or whether he subconsciously overheard their conversation, but Qin Xiaoshui couldn't help but frown.

After cleaning up the wounds, Shen Xi Ming skillfully put on some gauze.

"I just saw two street thugs robbing her bag on my way over here." Shen Xi Ming said lightly, glancing at the bag on the side as he spoke. If he did his best to protect this bag, there must be something very important in it.

"A street hoodlum?" "You went to the industrial area?"

Shen Xuming nodded his head, "Yeah, the car broke down at the corner of the street. I took the short route to get here."

Ye Chenmu looked at Qin Xiaohai thoughtfully, "Wow, this girl sure has guts. She still dares to go to the industrial district at night. I don't know what would have happened if I hadn't met you. " After a pause, he continued, "Eh, what is she doing there?"

"Looks like I'm just passing by."

This was an old road, and there were quite a few people coming and going during the day. However, at night, when everyone had finished their work, it would be more secluded.

On both sides of the road were residential areas, where many of the foreign students lived.

Shen Xuming took the medicine box to the washroom. His forehead and hands were also injured.

Ye Chimu followed along, leaning against the door of the washroom and said, "Have you finished discussing this with Aunt? When are you planning to return home? " The aunt he spoke of was Shen Xi Ming's mother, Luo Min.

"Just for a few days." Shen Xi Ming said as he used alcohol to disinfect the wound on his forehead.

"So fast. Have you really decided?"

"Yes, I've already agreed to it. It's just a matter of time."

"Hey, I'm so bored when you leave."

Remembering that there were many beauties by Ye Cheng's side, Shen Xi Ming speechlessly curled the corner of his mouth and said, "Uncle Qin's daughter should be studying here. Please take care of her."

Shen Ximing pasted an invisible Band-Aid on the wound on his forehead, blocking the hair on his forehead. He looked at himself in the mirror, that wound really couldn't be seen.

Ye Chenmu turned his head to look in the direction of the bedroom, laughing, "Ha, didn't I feel that when I was young, this Qin Xiaojing was getting more and more beautiful?"

Shen Ximing shot him a warning glance, "I sincerely admire you, but this is Uncle Qin's daughter, not those women outside."

"Aiya, I know. Why are you being so serious? I'm just joking."

Shen Xuming walked to the door of the bedroom and glanced at the still sound asleep Qin Xiaotao. "Take her to the hospital for a check-up tomorrow morning. She fell quite heavily."

"Aiya, since when did Eldest Young Master Shen care about this little girl?" Ye Cheng said with a smile.

Shen Xi Ming wasn't joking with him, "She's Uncle Qin's daughter."

"Aiya, aiya, I know. I know, why can't you joke around at all? How boring."

Shen Ximing ignored him and pulled a blanket from the wardrobe and handed it to him, "You sleep on the sofa." As he spoke, he turned around and entered the study.

"Hey, it can't be, right? This is my bed." As he spoke, he looked at the large bed where Qin Xiaotao was sleeping with an innocent expression on his face.

Shen Ximing, who had entered the study, opened the folding bed, took a spare blanket from the side, and lay down in his clothes.
