Ch 52: An Accident

Assistant Fang thought of Xiaoyu.

Could it be that Qin Yun’s setback from the entrapment incident years ago was too great, leaving psychological scars that affected that aspect of his life?

In men’s health clinics, there are many such cases.

Assistant Fang felt the possibility was extremely high.

Just as she was about to further verify with Qin Yun, the sound of a van was heard outside the courtyard.

Ye Xiong’s loud voice followed.

“Auntie, is Brother Qin Yun home?”

“He is, who are you…?”

“I’m his best brother, Ye Xiong.”

“Oh, oh, wait a moment, I’ll go call him.”

He Xianglian came to the room’s exterior and informed Qin Yun of Ye Xiong’s arrival.

Qin Yun nodded, preparing to meet Ye Xiong.

However, Assistant Fang spoke:

“He’s here to take me back to the County Town.”

“You’re leaving so soon?” Qin Yun was stunned.

“Yes, Miss Su has completely broken with Wang Junjie, and the Wang Family has begun their frantic revenge. Miss Su has been in the Provincial Capital dealing with the Wang Family’s revenge this whole time, and I must return quickly to look after her.”

Assistant Fang continued: “Also, Miss Su asked me to thank you. Last time by the water pond, thanks to you, Miss Su successfully dissolved her marriage contract with Wang Junjie.”

“You’re welcome, we’re all friends,” Qin Yun waved his hand, “Those two muscles of yours only underwent one treatment; it’s far from enough. Can’t you wait until tomorrow to leave? I can treat you again tonight.”

“After your treatment last night, I’m already much better. Look, I can even sit up…”

Assistant Fang sat on the bed, supporting herself with both hands on either side.

To prove to Qin Yun that she was much better, she deliberately raised both hands, and her hips twisted slightly on the wooden bed.

The moment she twisted, her face contorted, and she bounced off the wooden bed.

“Ouch!”

She clutched those two muscles, her face full of pain.

“That area is only five percent better; you can only sit still for ten minutes at most. Why did you dare to twist around? This will aggravate the pain,” Qin Yun quickly supported her, reproaching her.

“It’s not a matter of twisting, it’s a problem with the bed.”

“What’s wrong with the bed?”

“Why does your wooden bed have splinters? One’s stuck in my flesh and is bleeding!”

Assistant Fang reached into her pants, felt around, and found something sticky. Upon closer inspection, it was blood.

“Splinters?”

Qin Yun then remembered that yesterday, to make Assistant Fang sleep comfortably, he moved the two old boxes from the side of the wooden bed.

He had never slept on the two planks where the old boxes were, so some splinters were inevitable.

Normally sleeping on it would be fine; who knew Assistant Fang would twist her waist and hips on it.

“Where’s it stuck? We need to get it out quickly to avoid secondary infection,” Qin Yun said apologetically.

He took out a roll of sanitary napkins from the drawer, placed it beside the bed, and said, “Take it out slowly; I’ll wait for you in the courtyard.”

With that, Qin Yun prepared to leave.

“Don’t go!”

Assistant Fang, blushing, whispered, “The head of the splinter broke off, I can’t see the rest, I can’t pull it out…you…you help me.”

Last night, Qin Yun had just massaged her; now she had to ask him to remove a splinter. It was so embarrassing!

“Anyway, he’s going to massage me four more times. He’s already seen everything, so it doesn’t matter if he sees a little more… Right, he has that problem, so even if he sees, it’s pointless; he won’t have any inappropriate thoughts about me!”

After comforting herself, her expression slightly returned to normal.

“Alright, I’ll help you remove it.” Qin Yun hesitated for a moment, then solemnly nodded.

Facing Assistant Fang’s two muscles required immense courage and unwavering endurance.

Because that location was very awkward, a slight slip of the hand would violate Assistant Fang’s privacy…

In the courtyard.

Ye Xiong and four underlings each held a rough, large bowl and were drinking water.

While drinking, they continuously flattered He Xianglian.

“Wow! Auntie’s skill is truly amazing, even plain boiled water tastes so good.”

“I only drank two mouthfuls, and my whole person feels refreshed. The stuffiness from staying up all night playing cards has completely disappeared.”

“Yes, yes, yes, I had a toothache from being angry, but after drinking two mouthfuls, it immediately got better.”

“…”

“And me, I was starving, but after drinking two mouthfuls, I’m immediately full…”

Ye Xiong and his underlings vied to flatter He Xianglian. The thug at the back, afraid of being left behind, quickly squeezed forward, speaking sweet words.

However, before he could finish, a “gurgling” sound came from his stomach.

Everyone present heard it, and it was extremely embarrassing.

Ye Xiong immediately raised his foot and kicked him on the buttocks.

“How did you get mixed up with me? You can’t even flatter properly?”

“I, I didn’t mean to, I only ate a bowl of instant noodles last night, and I didn’t have time for breakfast, I really couldn’t help it.”

“Who told you to only eat a bowl of instant noodles last night? Didn’t Miss Su give you your wages?”

“Las, last night, weren’t you, Brother Xiong, urging me to play cards? So I only hurriedly ate a bowl of instant noodles.”

The thug covered his buttocks and explained aggrievedly.

“Damn! You dare to blame me?”

Ye Xiong’s eyes twitched, and he raised his foot to kick him again.

He Xianglian quickly stopped him.

“Don’t kick him anymore, you might injure him…Didn’t you all have breakfast? I’ll go cook millet porridge for you.”

She found that Ye Xiong and his men were all ruffians, their gangster aura heavier than Liu Dabiao and Liu Ergou.

At first, she was a little afraid, but after listening to their rambling flattery, she was amused.

Even Xiaoyu covered her mouth and giggled.

“Auntie, we’ve already drunk your boiled water; how can we still eat your millet porridge?”

Seeing that He Xianglian and Xiaoyu were both cheerful, Ye Xiong felt relieved, retracted his foot, and quickly waved his hands.

He didn’t really want to kick his underling; he was just putting on a show to prevent He Xianglian from getting angry.

“You’re all Yunzi’s friends; what’s wrong with having a meal?”

He Xianglian gestured for them to sit in the courtyard for a while, then she and Xiaoyu went back inside to cook millet porridge.

“Brother Xiong, why not let Auntie cook some fish for us? Just millet porridge isn’t filling enough…Ouch, Brother Xiong, what are you kicking me for again?”

The thug who had spoken earlier pointed at the somewhat dried fish hanging under the eaves, swallowing his saliva.

Before he could finish, Ye Xiong kicked him again.

“Brother Qin Yun is our boss; we should respect him. You little rascal actually want to eat his fish?”

“I…”

“What are you still standing there for? All of you, go move the gifts from the van inside.”

“Yes, yes, yes!”

Under Ye Xiong’s orders, the four underlings quickly went out to the courtyard and moved the rice, noodles, cooking oil, and other gifts from the van.

After his underlings went to move the things, Ye Xiong walked alone to the window of Qin Yun’s room.

He planned to report the gift list to Qin Yun and further strengthen their relationship.

As he approached the window, Ye Xiong heard the voices of Qin Yun and Assistant Fang from inside.

Both seemed to have deliberately lowered their voices.

If he hadn’t approached the window, he wouldn’t have heard it at all.

“Qin Yun, have you pulled it out yet?”

“Bear with it a little longer, I’m not ready yet.”

“I’ve been enduring for three minutes, hurry up and pull it out…”

Hearing this, Ye Xiong instinctively wanted to exclaim, but he quickly raised his right hand and covered his mouth tightly.

After quietly retreating to the center of the courtyard, he lowered his hand, breathing heavily to calm his shock.

“Brother Qin Yun actually got Assistant Fang! Amazing!”

Inside the Baihua Grand Hotel, Assistant Fang had a nickname: “Iceberg Second Miss.”

Female employees’ hearts would involuntarily tremble when they saw her.

Male employees’ legs would involuntarily cramp when they saw her.

Even Ye Xiong was the same.

Yet Qin Yun managed to win her over; this level of strength made Ye Xiong admire him tremendously.

As soon as Ye Xiong stepped back, Qin Yun’s relieved voice immediately came from inside the window.

“The splinter is out.”

“I endured for three minutes, and you only just pulled it out.”

“That splinter was very brittle; if I wasn’t ready, it would have definitely broken off.”

“…”

After a while, Qin Yun helped Assistant Fang out of the room.

Ye Xiong and his underlings immediately greeted them with smiles.

“Brother Xiong, sorry for making you wait. We encountered a little accident just now and had to deal with it,” Qin Yun greeted everyone and explained the situation.

“It’s fine, it’s fine. Since we’ve run into this accident, why not deal with it a few more times? We’re not in a hurry,” Ye Xiong said with a smile.

“Huh?” Assistant Fang’s face instantly turned cold upon hearing this.

Having Qin Yun remove a splinter once was already embarrassing enough.

Ye Xiong actually hoped she’d have it removed several times?

“What did you say?” Assistant Fang’s icy gaze immediately glared at him.
