Chapter 4 Rubbing the Medicine

When Zhao Wuyou rushed the entrance of the alley with a wooden stick in her hand, she saw a group of people gathered together, about a dozen or so.

Upon closer inspection, Zhao Qiuxu was pressing someone against the wall, waving his arms with an uncertain expression. The fists and feet of the people around him were landing on him, but he seemed oblivious to the pain, not dodging or avoiding.

She saw that one of the attackers picked up a brick from the ground, raised it, and was about to hit Zhao Qiuxu on the head, but Zhao Qiuxu didn't seem to notice the danger behind him.

Zhao Wuyou turned her head and looked out of the alley. Ah, she couldn't wait any longer!

She held the wooden stick tightly as if she could find a sense of security. She shouted, "What are you doing!"

Perhaps the group of people didn't hear her or felt that she was not a threat, so they continued to punch Zhao Qiuxu.

The person who tried to sneak attack Zhao Qiuxu with a brick stopped.

"I've already called the police. You'd better leave now!" Zhao Wuyou added loudly when the fight didn't settle down.

Hearing this, those people were a little scared and looked at each other in dismay. Looking at how desperately Zhao Qiuxu was fighting, they all felt a little scared at the same time. Those people stood aside, and the scene suddenly quieted down.

Hearing the voice, Zhao Qiuxu turned his head slowly like a machine and saw Zhao Wuyou standing at the intersection with a wooden stick in her hand. It was so strange. The street lights were dim, but how could he see her at a glance.

The only person who had the chance to catch his breath because Zhao Qiuxu let go, sat against the wall on the ground. He breathed heavily while discreetly moving away, fearing he might fall into Zhao Qiuxu's hands again.

Zhao Wuyou seized the opportunity and rushed to Zhao Qiuxu's side. In one hand, she tightly held the wooden stick she had picked up, and with the other hand, she held onto Zhao Qiuxu, standing in front of him like a shield.

Zhao Qiuxu looked down and saw the fair palm gripping him tightly, with traces of dust and mud on it. He inexplicably wanted to wipe away those stains, and in that moment, all his violent emotions disappeared.

He quieted down and didn't move.

Those people did not speak. They stood by the side and stared at Zhao Wuyou and Zhao Qiuxu. She nervously held the wooden stick in her hand tightly and the other hand held onto Zhao Qiuxu's hand tightly but no response. Had Zhao Qiuxu been beaten silly?

Although she knew that it was impossible, she quickly turned her head and found that Zhao Qiuxu was looking down at something in a daze. He seemed to be looking at her hand?

The red liquid streaked across the corners of his eyes, some of which had even dried up. His handsome face was inexplicably a little coquettish. She pulled his hand hard again, looking forward to getting a response.

By the way, she quickly glanced at the person who had just been pressed down and beaten by Zhao Qiuxu. When she saw that the man could still hide so far away, she was relieved. He would definitely not be seriously injured, so there was no problem!

Those people stared at them and were about to take action. Zhao Wuyou spoke again. "Don't move! I've already called the police on my way here. They'll be here soon!"

After that, those people still did not move, as if they were trying to judge whether Zhao Wuyou was telling the truth or not. Taking advantage of the time, Zhao Wuyou quickly turned around and whispered, "Qiuxu, Qiuxu, are you all right? Can you run?"

Zhao Qiuxu just stared at her, and her warm breath seemed to fall on his face.

Before she could finish her words, he suddenly grabbed the wooden stick in her hand and swung it backward. The person who was about to sneak attack was hit by him and squatted on the ground. The others did not dare to move for a while.

Zhao Wuyou grabbed Zhao Qiuxu tightly and turned around to block him. The hand that grabbed him trembled slightly, but she still pretended to be calm.

Neither side moved. Zhao Qiuxu grabbed her hand and pulled her behind him. He stood in front of her with a wooden stick in his hand. The people around them suddenly looked at each other and then rushed up together.

Zhao Wuyou turned her head and saw that they were standing at the exit of the alley. She grabbed Qiuxu and shouted, "Run!" As soon as she finished speaking, she ran toward the exit with pulling him.

Fortunately, Zhao Qiuxu was very strong. After being stunned for a while, he threw the stick back hard and disrupted the footsteps of the people who followed.

He grabbed Zhao Wuyou with his backhand and ran out, the speed was lifted at once. Zhao Wuyou couldn't think anymore. She just tried her best to run after Zhao Qiuxu, but the people behind them were still chasing after them.

"You run first! I'll bring up the rear!"

After that, Zhao Qiuxu let go of her hand. She ran forward with all her might, not daring to drag him down. Why hadn't she arrived yet?

Zhao Qiuxu ran after Zhao Wuyou while creating obstacles. He was always a few steps slower than her.

Not long after the group of people chased out of the alley, the alarm bell rang. In her sweaty blurred vision, she saw a flashing police car coming with flashing lights. She breathed a sigh of relief as if she had seen a life-saving straw.

As a result, Zhao Wuyou, who had suddenly relaxed, failed to keep up with her own steps. She tripped over her left foot and right foot and fell to the ground. She felt a burning pain and did not know where it hurt for a moment.

Following closely behind, Zhao Qiuxu quickly helped her up. She leaned against Zhao Qiuxu, who was in so much pain that she seemed to have lost all her strength. She slowly took small breaths. She felt that once she used too much strength, it would hurt even more.

When those people heard the alarm bell, they fled in all directions, but they were still arrested by the police, including the two of them.

However, the two of them looked the most miserable. Zhao Qiuxu had dried up blood on his face, a bleeding wound on his forehead, and various stains and footprints on his body, which were even more conspicuous on his light-colored T-shirt.

Needless to say, Zhao Wuyou was wearing a white T-shirt and shorts when she went out. As a result, her white clothes were now gray, and her exposed white skin was stained with dirt. Her arms and legs were bleeding, her hair was messy, and her eyes were red. It was obvious that she had suffered a lot.

She and Zhao Qiuxu were taken away in a separate car, accompanied by a policewoman who was comforting her.

The policewoman asked her if it hurt. She smiled and said that it didn't hurt. She pretended to be strong, which made the policewoman feel distressed. She said that she would take her back to deal with the wound first.

Zhao Qiuxu sat by the side and looked at her without saying a word. Zhao Wuyou was scared by his stare, but she couldn't figure out what he meant.

The police took them to the police station to investigate and found that all the people involved in this matter were underage. The policewoman gave her some medicine and asked her to treat the wound.

After the examination, everyone was slightly injured, and there were still uninjured people on the other side.

Hearing that both of them were slightly injured, Zhao Wuyou was truly relieved. Fortunately, they made it in time! This time, Zhao Qiuxu wouldn't be arrested!

When she was making the statement, Zhao Wuyou took the lead and started to work alone. She spoke righteously and held back her tears.

"We don't know why those people want to make trouble for us. We are all students. My brother just came out to work and study during the holidays. I don't know how we offended them. When I rushed over, they wanted to hit my brother's head with bricks, but fortunately, I stopped them. Otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable! They still wanted to hit me. If my brother and I hadn't run fast, we might have died!"

As she spoke, Zhao Wuyou wiped her tears with a tissue, as if she had been scared out of her wits. She tried her best to calm down and then continued, "It's also the first time we've seen such a person. Police, you must punish them!"

Her tears were caused purely by the pain in her wound. The words had also done some artistic processing, but the truth was almost the same.

The main reason was that they were looking for trouble with Zhao Qiuxu.

When the two sides finished their statements, the two of them sat aside and waited for the results. They didn't know where the other group of people had been taken to. After being arrested, they had never seen the other group of people again.

Just now, the policewoman gave the medicine to Zhao Wuyou and asked her to treat the wound. But to be honest, she had not suffered such an injury for a long time, so she clumsily applied the medicine to the wound with a cotton swab. And she grinned when she poked.

Zhao Qiuxu couldn't stand it anymore. He took the medicine from her hand, squatted down in front of her, and applied it to her wound again.

Zhao Wuyou smiled awkwardly. "Thank you."

As soon as he squatted down, Zhao Wuyou saw the wound on his forehead. It was about the length of a forefinger knuckle. The blood on his little above eyebrows had dried up, but the wound had not been treated.

"Why don't you treat your wound, Qiuxu?"

As she spoke, she reached out to touch the blood around his wound, and then she felt a sharp pain in her wound.

"Don't touch me!" After saying that fiercely, Zhao Qiuxu continued to apply the medicine., Zhao Qiuxu continued to apply the medicine, but his movements became more gentle and slow. It seemed that only he had noticed the strangeness in that moment.

"This injury is on your forehead, Qiuxu. It's not easy to treat. I'll take care of it for you!"

As she spoke, Zhao Wuyou reached out to get a cotton swab. Zhao Qiuxu grabbed a bag of cotton swabs and stood up. He looked down at her and said softly.

"Don't deal with it, it will be fine."

Zhao Wuyou was shocked when she heard what he said. Was this how Zhao Qiuxu lived?

"How can you not take care of yourself, Qiuxu? It's not a small cut. If you don't treat such a big wound, it will leave a scar. It won't look good!"

Zhao Qiuxu looked at her and did not speak. Zhao Wuyou also stared at him. Suddenly, she saw several shallow scars on his exposed forearm. It was obvious that they were old scars.

"But Qiuxu, if it's you, having a scar won't hurt your beauty, but you should take good care of yourself. You don't have to get hurt, and you can leave no scars! You're so good-looking! Why did you leave scars on your face and body?!"

Zhao Wuyou raised her head to look at Zhao Qiuxu's face and said these words seriously. She really felt that Zhao Qiuxu was the most beautiful person she had ever seen. Such a beautiful person should not be destroyed by unnecessary scars.

It was the first time that someone had told him to take care of himself, and it was also the first time that someone said so seriously that he was good-looking, not those disgusted and greedy eyes. Moreover, it was also this person today. She was obviously very weak, but she stood in front of him.

Zhao Qiuxu didn't say anything. He just handed the cotton swab to Zhao Wuyou.

She took it with a smile and patted the seat next to her.

"Sit here, Qiuxu."

Zhao Qiuxu sat down stiffly. He didn't seem to know what he was doing at the moment. He felt that his brain seemed to have stopped working, and he just followed the order of Zhao Wuyou.

"Qiuxu, lower your head. I can't see your wound like this." He lowered his head.

"Well, Qiuxu, I'll start. If I hurt you, just say it. Don't bear it."

The cold touch was accompanied by a gentle breeze -- it seemed that it didn't hurt anymore. Someone had gently blown on his forehead before, but that was many years ago.

The wound seemed to have become numb. Zhao Qiuxu only felt a numbing sensation on his forehead, drilling straight into his heart.

He lowered his head and could only see the fair limbs of Zhao Wuyou. Of course, he could also see the bloody wounds on her body, which were very annoying!
