Is it fear or cold?

  A thread of crimson blood overflowed from the corner of his mouth, trickling down his chin and dripping onto the back of his hand. Slowly lifting his head, Ye Nanqing stared at Jun Jianshen.

  It's been many years since anyone dared to hit him like that. Those who had once laid hands on him didn't have a good ending.

  Xia Qi's eyes were filled with shock, Ye Nanqing's lips had blood on them, a shocking and heart-stopping sight.

  The girls who were originally passing by the dormitory building also stopped in their tracks, looking at the scene in front of them with surprise.

  "She is not someone you can touch." Jun Jin spoke expressionlessly to Ye Nanqing.

  "Really?" Ye Nanqing's eyes narrowed slightly, and he suddenly smiled, wiping the fresh blood from the corner of his mouth with his finger, looking at Xia Qi, "Qi Qi, the first person to touch me was you."

  Xia Qi only felt that when Ye Nan Qing finished saying this sentence, Jun Jian Yan's hand which was originally grasping her arm suddenly loosened, and his fist once again struck towards Ye Nan Qing.

  "Do you think I'll just stand still and let you hit me again?" Ye Nanqing blocked Jun Jianshen's attack.

  Jun Jian didn't say a word, but his other hand attacked Ye Nanqing's abdomen again. The two men suddenly started fighting.

  This was Xia Qi's first time seeing Ye Nanqing fight, with every move and style still exuding a refined elegance and composure. It made sense, after all - as the heir to the Four Seas Corporation, how could he not even know some basic self-defense techniques?

  On the other hand, Jun Jian's words were cautious, without any fancy moves. Each of his attacks hit the most vulnerable parts of the human body, a completely military-style fighting method.

  "Stop it!" she shouted.

  But the two men didn't respond to her cries at all.

  The crowd of onlookers was growing larger and larger, watching as the two continued to fight, with no end in sight. Xia Qi didn't think twice before rushing forward and tightly embracing Jun Yanshen's waist.

  "Stop it! If you continue, I won't say another word to you!" Xia Qi said.

  Jun's movements suddenly stopped, his body tensed up tightly, and his chest was heaving constantly. Then, with a slow-motion-like movement, he turned around, lowered his head to look at Xia Qi, "Seriously?"

  "Right, seriously!" She nodded firmly.

  His eyes reddened slightly as he stared at her, remaining silent for a long time.

  The school is really not a good place to talk, the most important thing is that they can't let them fight again. Out of the corner of her eye, she glanced at Ye Nanqing standing still beside her, Xia Qi hesitated for a moment, then spoke to Jun Jianyan, "Follow me!" She said, pulling him towards the direction of the school gate.

  But you cautiously didn't struggle at all, instead letting her lead him along.

  Ink-black eyes gazed heavily at the gradually disappearing back, Ye Nanqing tightly pursed his thin lips, and the fingertips of his right hand once again touched the ring on his left hand.

  The ring was cool and chilly. The chest area was aching vaguely, as if it were foretelling something.

  "Xia Qi..." He muttered the two names softly, but felt that the pain in his chest seemed to worsen.

  ————

  Xia Qi pulled Jun Jin along, and they didn't stop until they reached a secluded spot near the school gate.

  She turned around and looked at him, his hair was a bit messy, one side of his face and the joints of his fingers were slightly swollen and red, because his skin was originally fair, the redness was even more noticeable.
