You all chase after the innocent school beauty, then I'll choose the rebellious female school b

Wang Qingyu cried so hard she could barely breathe, and after stammering for a long time, she still couldn't explain what had happened.

Lu Yuan stood up almost immediately and strode out of the restaurant.

Pineapple Bro and Gao Zhe also realized that the situation was not good and followed closely behind.

"What exactly happened?" Gao Zhe asked on the way.

"Yixian...and...Xiaozhuo...they...they went to the river..." Wang Qingyu wiped away her tears, her hand trembling as she pointed in the direction of the river.

This restaurant is located by the river, next to a bridge. There is a wasteland near the riverbank under the bridge, which is mostly dry. Many people go there to kill time when they have nothing to do.

"Weren't they shopping at the mall? What are they doing by the river?" Pineapple asked, frowning.

"They said...they want...they want to fight."

"beat?!"

Gao Zhe and Pineapple Brother were both taken aback.

"Oh dear, this is ridiculous!" Pineapple Bro exclaimed in exasperation. "That crazy girl, Xiao Zhuo, learned martial arts from a master in Southeast Asia. Many men can't beat her, and she doesn't hold back at all; she can break bones in no time!"

Pineapple Bro is not exaggerating.

Having been through so much, Xiao Zhu must have learned how to protect herself. In addition, she is somewhat mentally unstable. Once she has an episode, she probably won't be able to control herself. If Ye Yixian goes up against her, it will be very dangerous, or even... a bloody disaster.

"I tried to stop them, but... I couldn't..."

Wang Qingyu burst into tears, feeling extremely guilty.

"It's okay, it's okay. This isn't your fault," Gao Zhe quickly reassured her.

The group quickened their pace and jogged to the riverbank.

Lu Yuan walked at the front, quickly scanning the area, and sure enough, he saw two figures under the bridge, namely Ye Yixian and Xiao Zhuo.

They seem to have finished fighting; they haven't made any more moves since.

Xiao Zhuo sat on the ground, while Ye Yixian sat on a rock next to him.

When everyone rushed over, they found that the two men's coats were thrown aside, their clothes were covered in stains, and their hair was disheveled.

Upon closer inspection, Ye Yixian's brow bone, corner of her mouth, and cheeks were bruised, and blood was still flowing from her nose, but she didn't care and casually wiped away the blood.

Xiao Zhuo wasn't in much better shape; her nosebleed was even worse, staining the front of her shirt bright red, like a large bowl of red paint had been splashed on it—a shocking sight.

It turned out that the two had already finished fighting.

"One string!"

Lu Yuan quickly squatted down in front of Ye Yixian, took out a tissue from his pocket, and carefully wiped away the blood from her nose.

Ye Yixian had been holding back, but as soon as she saw Lu Yuan, her eyes welled up with tears, and a sense of grievance welled up inside her.

Meanwhile, Pineapple Bro also went to check on Xiao Zhuo's condition.

He offered Xiao Zhu a tissue to wipe her nosebleed, but Xiao Zhu pushed his hand away, got up, wiped her nose herself, and then gave Ye Yixian a thumbs up: "Not bad, you can fight. You're tougher than many men I've met. Today's fight is a draw."

Ye Yixian glared at her and said unhappily, "Stop trying to make excuses for yourself. Look at how badly I beat you, and you still have the nerve to say it's a draw. I won this match."

Xiao Zhu's face turned cold, clearly showing his dissatisfaction. He clenched his fists and was about to charge forward again.

Ye Yixian stood up at almost the same time.

Fortunately, Lu Yuan and Pineapple Brother reacted quickly and stopped the two of them.

Lu Yuan advised, "Alright, it's the New Year, let's not ruin the harmony."

Pineapple Bro also said, "Everything was fine before, how did they suddenly start fighting?"

"Who told her to insult me?" Ye Yixian glared angrily at Xiao Zhuo.

Xiao Zhu retorted angrily, "So calling you a slut is an insult? Didn't you see how slutty you were after drinking last night?"

"Go to hell!"

Ye Yixian clenched his fist and was about to charge again, but fortunately Lu Yuan stopped him.

"Shut up!"

Pineapple Bro also lost his temper and angrily scolded Xiao Zhuo.

Xiao Zhu wanted to talk back, but when Pineapple Brother raised his hand as if to hit her, she immediately shut up.

……

The group found a clinic nearby and had them checked out. Fortunately, both of them only had superficial injuries, and they were fine after the wounds were treated.

The doctor asked, puzzled, how he got injured. Lu Yuan casually explained that he fell while practicing cycling by the river.

The doctor was skeptical, but didn't ask any more questions.

The clinic was only so big, and Ye Yixian and Xiao Zhuo sat in the two seats furthest apart from each other.

Lu Yuan and the other two naturally stayed by Ye Yixian's side.

"Brother Yuan, your girlfriend's got some nerve," Pineapple Bro said with a grin as he walked over after paying the bill. "I've never seen anyone beat Xiao Zhu up so badly. We underestimated your girlfriend."

Lu Yuan waved his hand, signaling him to stop praising it, lest people mistakenly think that fighting was something to be encouraged.

Then, Lu Yuan glanced at Xiao Zhu, who also had a bruised and swollen face, and lowered his voice to Pineapple Brother, saying, "I don't want this matter to have any more unresolved troubles."

"Don't worry, Brother Yuan." Pineapple patted his chest with a relaxed expression. "I'll definitely keep an eye on Xiao Zhuo. Besides, this is just a friendly sparring match between the two of them, to get to know each other's strength. They won't hold a grudge."

He paused, then added, "Of course, you can rest assured now, because we're leaving tomorrow. We won't see each other again until this time next year."

"Leaving so soon?" Lu Yuan was somewhat surprised.

"Yes, it's a business worth millions, how could I possibly be away for too long?"

As he spoke, Pineapple Brother raised his hand and beckoned Xiao Zhuo over.

When Xiao Zhuo walked over, Ye Yixian instinctively became more alert and gripped Lu Yuan's hand slightly tighter.

"Just accept your fate, shake hands with your sister-in-law, and that'll be the end of it," Pineapple Brother said to Xiao Zhuo.

Xiao Zhu looked reluctant.

Pineapple Bro said again, "What, still not convinced? If your sister-in-law hadn't stopped there, you would have been beaten to death."

Nobody knows exactly how the two of them fought back then.

Judging from the results, Ye Yixian won by a narrow margin.

Because Xiao Zhuo's injuries were indeed more severe than Ye Yixian's.

It's important to know that Xiao Zhuo has formally studied martial arts and is quite ruthless. Ye Yixian, on the other hand, has only ever fought with street thugs, yet she managed to narrowly defeat Xiao Zhuo, demonstrating her talent in martial arts.

Of course, the possibility of a novice defeating a master cannot be ruled out.

Xiao Zhu rolled her eyes at Pineapple Bro, probably complaining that he had rubbed salt into her wounds in public.

However, she didn't say much. She extended her hand to Ye Yixian and said, "I acknowledge you as my opponent. I lost this time, but if there's another chance, we'll compete again."

Ye Yixian sneered and shook hands with her: "If you dare to use those shady drugs on me again, I guarantee I'll smash your head open."

"hehe."

Xiao Zhu smiled faintly, it was hard to tell whether she was relieved or indifferent.

"That's settled then, Brother Yuan, we have to go now." Pineapple Brother said with a smile, "You can come to me if you need anything, and so can you, Brother Zhe."

"Okay, you go ahead and do your thing."

Lu Yuan and Gao Zhe said goodbye to Pineapple Brother.

Soon, only the four of them remained in the clinic's rest area.

"Yixian, you scared me to death..." Wang Qingyu cried, grasping Ye Yixian's hand. "Let's not fight with others so easily from now on, okay?"

"I'm fine," Ye Yixian forced a smile and reassured her, "I've never been afraid of anyone in a one-on-one fight."

"Alright, alright." Lu Yuan gave Gao Zhe and Wang Qingyu a look, and the two immediately understood, getting up to go out and wait.

Once everyone was out of sight, Lu Yuan looked at Ye Yixian and gently touched the wound on the corner of her mouth.

"Hiss~"

Ye Yixian gasped in pain and lowered her head.

"You feel pain now?" Lu Yuan said half-jokingly, his tone revealing undisguised heartache. "You can't do this again. Do you know how worried we were about you?"

Ye Yixian pursed her lips and said softly, "I just can't swallow this."

Lu Yuan smiled wryly: "Xiao Zhuo is different from other girls after all. If she gets really anxious, you'll be in big danger."

Ye Yixian understood Lu Yuan's worries, and lowered her head even further. After a long silence, she finally asked softly:

Do you think my girlfriend is particularly immature and impulsive?
