"The noise outside is so loud. What's going on?" Lu Xun kicked Qian Wei, who was lost in thought.
Qian Wei averted her gaze and cleared her throat. "Mo Zi Xin was being harassed by a few hoodlums! I was planning to help her! Thankfully, you're here now."
"Enough, it's none of your business," Lu Xun said as he walked towards the lobby. Qian Wei followed closely behind him.
Soon, Mo Zi Xin also spotted Lu Xun approaching. A slight sense of relief appeared on her originally cold expression. "Lu Xun, it's great that you're here," she said, turning to glance at the gang leader known as Tian Ge. "This is my boyfriend. He's taking me back to the dormitory after his workout." As she spoke, Mo Zi Xin leaned against Lu Xun's arm, her dark and shiny eyes gazing at him, radiating a charming and captivating allure.
Lu Xun's arm paused for a moment. He didn't respond to Mo Zi Xin's words but instead glanced at the group of girls. "You all go ahead. I'll take care of the rest." He glanced at the hoodlums in front of him. "If there's any issue, let men handle it. It's not appropriate for a group of men to target women."
"Alright, as long as you said so. Then let's have a conversation between men." The gang leader smirked and didn't stop the girls from leaving.
The girls felt like they had received a pardon and thanked Lu Xun before preparing to leave. Mo Zi Xin bit her lip, standing by Lu Xun's side, and softly said, "I'll accompany you."
Lu Xun frowned, discreetly removing Mo Zi Xin's hand from his arm and pushing her away. "You go first."
Mo Zi Xin finally reluctantly walked away, and even Qian Wei, who had been looking at them with affectionate eyes, melted away.
Perfect, isn't this the classic scene of a hero saving the beauty in a TV drama? Mo Zi Xin was in trouble, and Lu Xun stepped forward, pretending to be her boyfriend, and then truly acted upon it. From then on, their hearts secretly belonged to each other. The story was like a lingering bond that stretched to the ends of the earth, and it could be said to be perfect. Qian Wei's heart surged with emotions. Could this be the moment she witnessed the future boss and his ladylove forming a lifelong bond so soon? Qian Wei immersed herself in beautiful fantasies until Lu Xun's blunt voice interrupted her thoughts.
"Why are you still standing there?" Lu Xun glared at her. "Are you here to cause more trouble?"
Look at that, when it was time for Miss Mo Zi Xin to leave, he was so polite, but when it came to dealing with her, it was like this... Really, people's status can make a huge difference...
Qian Wei contemplated for a moment and realized that she had no use in staying. She figured Qian Chuan would be arriving soon, so it would be best to go outside the gym to meet him and his friends.
"I've arranged for someone. I'll go outside to meet them," Qian Wei whispered, lowering her voice and expressing her loyalty to Lu Xun with a wink. "Don't worry, I'm not someone who flees at the last moment. Qian Han San will come back! Lu Xun, hang in there! Wait for me to return!"
Lu Xun glanced at Qian Wei. "Why do you have so many lines? You're not the main character. Hurry up and stop adding unnecessary drama to yourself. Go."
Mo Zi Xin and her group left, while Qian Wei anxiously waited at the entrance of the sports gym, eagerly anticipating Qian Chuan's arrival.
"Let's go."
But Qian Chuan, that brat, was nowhere to be seen, leaving Lu Xun to walk out on his own with his hands in his pockets, calling out to Qian Wei.
Qian Wei: "??? How did you come out?"
"So, you think I should still be inside getting beaten up by them?"
"I didn't mean that..." Qian Wei glanced at Lu Xun, "Did you get hurt anywhere?"
Lu Xun snorted disdainfully, "Do you think every problem has to be solved through violence? Do you think I'm your little brother?"
"So, you managed to convince those hooligans so quickly?"
"If everyone could be easily convinced, what would we need the law for?"
"So, how did you handle it?" Qian Wei was genuinely curious.
"I told them that Mo Zi Xin looks really ugly without makeup."
"..."
"I was about to break up with her, and if he wanted to pursue her, I would immediately give him her contact information. I would even give him some advice on how to win her over, so that Mo Zi Xin wouldn't bother me anymore." Lu Xun shrugged, "In the end, he refused to take her contact information and told me to leave."
"..."
***
In the evening on the campus, a gentle breeze blew as Qian Wei and Lu Xun walked side by side from the sports gym back to the dormitory building.
"It's good that things have settled down. I actually asked Qian Chuan to bring some of his classmates from the Physical Education Institute, but he was out singing at a KTV and didn't make it in time. But since you've handled it so well, I told him not to bother coming." Although Qian Wei ultimately didn't help much, she couldn't miss this opportunity to show her loyalty, "I was jogging when I saw that Mo Zi Xin was in trouble, and I immediately wanted to help. If you hadn't shown up, I would have definitely stepped forward for Mo Zi Xin!"
Since it was about showing loyalty, it wasn't just about the future boss; she couldn't forget the future boss's wife either. After all, it was a bonus to express her willingness to protect the future boss's wife in front of the future boss!
However, Lu Xun was not your average person. Qian Wei was being so earnest, but he didn't show any gratitude. Instead, he raised an eyebrow in a reproachful manner, "What's your relationship with Mo Zi Xin? Why are you standing up for her? What can you do by standing up for her?"
When he put it that way, standing up for her didn't seem to accomplish much...
But Qian Wei couldn't show any weakness at this moment. She cleared her throat, "Although I can't fight, I can use the law to intimidate them. I will tell them that their actions have violated Article 28 of the Public Security Administration Punishment Law, which constitutes the crime of provocation and troublemaking, and carries a detention of more than ten days but less than fifteen days, as well as a fine!" Qian Wei patted her chest, "You can rest assured, I'm also very smart. I'm not like Qian Chuan; I can use my brain to solve problems and conquer formidable opponents with solid legal knowledge!"
"It's Article 26," Lu Xun glanced at Qian Wei. "You seem to be lacking in legal knowledge, my clever one. Detention for more than ten days but less than fifteen days is considered a more serious offense. So, for what they did just now, a detention of more than five days but less than ten days would be sufficient."
"..." Do you really think I care about these details, Lu Xun!
"Fortunately, I went swimming tonight," Lu Xun fell silent for a moment before smiling.
Qian Wei also relaxed. Yes, if it weren't for Lu Xun going to the gym for a swim tonight, Mo Zi Xin would have been in danger. The current outcome is good. After this night, no matter what, in Mo Zi Xin's heart, Lu Xun's image is bound to be very tall. And Lu Xun, upon seeing Mo Zi Xin in danger, must have gradually realized her importance in his heart.
The two walked side by side like this, and there was a moment of silence. Qian Wei felt slightly awkward and was about to continue the conversation when suddenly loud screams from the girls in the dormitory building ahead caught their attention.
"Pervert! Catch the pervert!"
Qian Wei was taken aback, only then realizing that the pervert who had broken into the girls' dormitory late at night had struck again. And at that moment, she saw a man wearing a hat rushing out of the dormitory building in front.
"Catch the pervert! Don't let him escape!" The girls upstairs leaned over the balcony, pointing at the man. Qian Wei hadn't fully reacted yet, but Lu Xun had already rushed out. He ran towards the direction indicated by the girls upstairs. Qian Wei and Lu Xun were not far from the dormitory building at that moment, so they had an advantage in chasing.
Lu Xun was tall with long legs, and even though he had just finished swimming, his physical strength was excellent. By the time Qian Wei caught up, panting, he had already caught up to the peeping pervert and pinned him to the ground, preparing to twist the man's hands behind his back.
The pervert, probably in an attempt to avoid being handed over to the police, began to struggle desperately. Qian Wei, with sharp eyes, saw him take out a folding knife from his pocket and stab it towards Lu Xun.
"Lu Xun, be careful!"
Qian Wei instinctively rushed forward, trying to open the assailant's weapon with her hand. This obstruction did manage to block the attack on Lu Xun's abdomen. Lu Xun quickly overpowered the man once again, pinning him down and delivering a punch to completely subdue him. At that moment, other male students who happened to pass by also joined in, together restraining the pervert.
In that fleeting moment just now, Qian Wei didn't think much. Her hand blocked the knife aimed at Lu Xun's abdomen and was cut in the process. Now she regained her senses and felt the pain. She stared at the bleeding wound on her hand, pale with shock, feeling a dizzy sensation.
Seeing that others had restrained the pervert, Lu Xun no longer paid attention to him and hurriedly walked towards Qian Wei, his brows furrowed. He picked up Qian Wei's injured hand. "Come, I'll take you to the infirmary."
"I... I feel weak in the legs..." This was not an exaggeration; Qian Wei was particularly afraid of death. At this moment, with her mind focused on her bleeding wound, she felt as if her time was up, fearing that she would bleed too much and die...
Lu Xun glanced at Qian Wei, whose face was pale and miserable, but he didn't say a word. Instead, he simply swept her up into his arms.
As a result of catching the sexual harasser, almost all of the girls who had been asleep were now awake. There were also quite a few onlookers who had gathered at the scene. Lu Xun, with his striking presence and heroic aura from apprehending the harasser, had already attracted attention. And now, in front of all these people, he was disregarding everything and holding a girl in his arms. The rest of the crowd was shocked.
Qian Wei was only concerned about her own injuries. She didn't pay attention to the inquisitive, jealous, and bewildered gazes around her. She hadn't fully registered the fact that she was in Lu Xun's embrace; she just tightly gripped his shirt.
"Lu Xun, I have something to tell you. I'm afraid if I don't say it now, I won't have another chance," Qian Wei said weakly.
Lu Xun's voice this time was unusually nervous and uncertain. "Don't say anything now. You'll be fine. Let me take you to the infirmary." He spoke while quickening his pace, but his hands holding Qian Wei remained steady.
"Lu Xun, please give me this opportunity. I only have one request," Qian Wei pleaded weakly. "You must remember that I got injured today because I saved you. If I had a narrow escape..."
"Are you asking me to offer myself to you?" Lu Xun interrupted.
"No!" Qian Wei grabbed Lu Xun's shirt at the chest, her voice filled with excitement. "How could I take advantage of your misfortune? I don't have any ulterior motives! I just want to tell you..."
"Lu Xun, if you become wealthy and successful, please don't forget me!" Qian Wei said affectionately. "If you soar to great heights, remember to take me along on the journey to wealth. If you become a lawyer or a partner in a law firm, make sure to give me the best cases. If I become your subordinate, please care for me and look after me. Don't make me work overtime on regular days, and give me a larger year-end bonus. And if there are any eligible bachelors, please introduce them to me, preferably those who are wealthy and have lost both parents, so as to avoid any mother-in-law problems..."
