Wilderness Romance!

"Xiaoxue, this scumbag is bullying you, why are you still bothering with him?"

"If you ask me, this kind of person should be taught a lesson by Dr. Huang's cousin so he can behave. You go and change your clothes quickly, I'll go out and check on Dr. Huang first."

As soon as she finished speaking, Su Man hurriedly left the room.

Regardless of the circumstances, Huang Tianhua was someone she had called, and now that he had been beaten up by Lu Pingchuan, she should go out and check on him.

Bai Xue ignored Su Man, her brows furrowed, her face full of worry.

She knew perfectly well who Luo Sanpao was, while Lu Pingchuan was just a country boy. Even if Huang Tianhua's cousin was just Luo Sanpao's subordinate, he was definitely not someone Lu Pingchuan could afford to offend.

"Hirakawa, I know you're very capable, but this is not the time for jokes. You go first, I'll handle things here."

The previously gentle, timid Bai Xue seemed like a completely different person now.

She stretched out her lotus-root-like arms, trying to pull Lu Pingchuan, who was sitting on the bed, up.

Lu Pingchuan tried to pull his hand away, but Bai Xue gripped it too tightly. With a slight exertion, Bai Xue was pulled forward and instantly sat in his arms.

Afraid that Bai Xue would fall, he hurriedly put his other hand around her soft and slender waist. A faint fragrance wafted over, and Lu Pingchuan was stunned for a moment.

He was so focused on arguing with Huang Tianhua that he didn't notice how soft Bai Xue's body was, like a freshly steamed glutinous rice ball that would sink into if touched. At that moment, he even had a slight feeling of regret.

"Mr. Lu... Mr. Lu." Bai Xue lowered her head, her face full of shyness. "What... what are you going to do?"

Lu Pingchuan snapped out of his daze, clearing his mind of all distractions, and a mischievous smile crept across his lips: "Xue'er, you were just calling me Pingchuan a moment ago, how come you're calling me Mr. Lu now?"

"Just call me Pingchuan, it sounds more friendly."

The word "Xue'er" made Bai Xue's face instantly burn.

She sat in Lu Pingchuan's lap, burying her head deep in his chest, her heart pounding wildly, as if a little rabbit was thrashing inside her.

The close proximity caused their breaths to mingle, and the distinct masculine scent enveloped her, making her stiffen and unsure of where to put her hands.

"Mr. Lu... Mr. Lu," Bai Xue's voice was barely a whisper, "Please... please don't joke with me."

Seeing Bai Xue's shy expression, he couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Ha ha ha ha......"

"Alright, alright, I'm just teasing you. Go change your clothes first; you're dressed like that..."

Before he could finish speaking, Su Man and Huang Tianhua walked in.

Seeing Bai Xue sitting in Lu Pingchuan's lap, Su Man's eyes widened in disbelief.

"Xiaoxue, what are you doing?"

"You weren't like this before, you scumbag... what kind of spell did this scumbag cast on you?"

"This kind of person is just a troublemaker, a piece of trash. He's about to be in big trouble, and instead of avoiding him, you're actively getting close to him. Aren't you being foolish?"

Huang Tianhua's chest heaved violently, his broken nose and swollen face still throbbing with pain, but the scene before him fueled his fury even more than his physical injuries.

He had been pursuing Bai Xue for more than half a year, but he hadn't even touched her. Now, however, he was watching the woman he had been longing for sitting in the arms of a country boy, her eyes shy and her posture soft and gentle.

In his eyes, Lu Pingchuan was penniless and powerless, just a rustic countryman, incomparable to himself. Bai Xue's choice was undoubtedly a slap in his face.

More importantly, they knew he had already called his cousin, yet instead of trying to escape, they were still cuddling together, seemingly disregarding his most prized power.

This complete disregard for him was more humiliating than being verbally abused or physically assaulted.

Overwhelmed by jealousy and humiliation, he was on the verge of losing his composure. His fists clenched tightly, he trembled with rage, and the malice in his eyes was almost tangible.

"Good, very good."

Huang Tianhua gritted his teeth, his already disheveled face twisted in extreme anger: "Bai Xue, I've been pursuing you for half a year, and you won't even agree to be with me, but now you're using a peasant to humiliate me."

"You just wait, I'll soon show you that you made the wrong choice, and soon you'll regret it."

Bai Xue stood up, walked to Huang Tianhua's statue, her face expressionless: "Dr. Huang, I told you before, we are colleagues, and we can only be colleagues."

"As for humiliating you, that's utter nonsense. What happens between me and Pingchuan is between us, and it has nothing to do with you."

"He hit you before, and I apologize to you on his behalf. I will also give you every penny of the medical expenses and compensation. I hope that for the sake of our past as colleagues, you won't make a big deal out of this."

Bai Xue's words, instead of having any soothing effect on Huang Tianhua, were like a bucket of boiling oil poured on his already boiling anger.

He stared intently at the woman in front of him, her expression cold and indifferent. She was standing right in front of him, yet her heart and eyes were completely occupied by another man, and every word she uttered was an attempt to exonerate and plead for the country boy.

In his view, this was not reconciliation at all, but a naked act of charity, a repeated crushing of his dignity as Huang Tianhua.

"Bai Xue, are you begging me?"

Bai Xue nodded slightly: "I guess so."

"Okay." Huang Tianhua nodded, letting out a wry smile: "I pursued you for a full six months, showering you with attention and trying my best to please you. Everyone said we were a match made in heaven."

"I've been completely open and honest with you, but you've always been cold and distant. Now, however, you're bowing down and apologizing to me for some nobody with no money or power. You've really opened my eyes."

"I promise I won't make a big deal out of this, but Bai Xue, how do you plan to repay me?"

"I'll give you medical expenses and compensation. Name your price, no matter how much..."

"Stop." Huang Tianhua raised his hand to interrupt Bai Xue: "Bai Xue, I don't want your compensation. You know what I want."

"Tell them to leave. As long as you make me feel comfortable, I'll immediately call my cousin and tell him not to come over."

"Otherwise, neither that peasant nor you will escape."

"You..." Bai Xue gritted her teeth, a fierce anger instantly rising in her beautiful eyes: "Dr. Huang, don't go too far."

"Is it excessive?" Huang Tianhua sneered, his face suddenly darkening. "Bai Xue, you forced me into this. Of course, you can refuse my conditions."

Bai Xue fell silent.

In the entire Qingshui County, who can afford to offend Luo Sanpao? If Huang Tianhua's cousin really comes, the consequences will be unimaginable.

No, we can't let anything happen to Lu Pingchuan, otherwise, who will teach her how to treat a heart attack with acupuncture?

Lu Pingchuan originally didn't want to waste words with Huang Tianhua, but Huang Tianhua kept rambling on and on, not only showing off but also trying to take advantage of Bai Xue. He couldn't stand it anymore.

He stood up, walked to Bai Xue's side, and then kicked Huang Tianhua to the ground.

"You, surnamed Huang, are you addicted to showing off? You dare to covet my woman? Do you want to die?"

The phrase "my woman" caused Bai Xue's previously restored pretty face to burn again.

"You, surnamed Lu..."

"What do you mean, 'what do you mean, 'what do you mean'? Right now, call your good-for-nothing cousin and tell him to get over here right now."
