2.25.57 – Mad dog (2) - Mr. and Mrs. Jelly

Bing Shi, seeing Zhu Cai's bad situation, walked towards Mr. Zhu, showing her bruised hand. All she cared about was Xuan Mu's future; she couldn't let it be destroyed. "You would do the same right?" she asked him, "What's wrong with your son? Is he trying to hurt Xuan Mu by hurting his girlfriend? It's pretty stupid of him to do it before so many witnesses."

Bing Shi watched how the soldiers became Xuan Mu's punching bags. That scene was a bit more familiar as she got used to the sparing between them and Xuan Mu.

Seeing the soldiers and a doctor, Mr. Zhu calmed down and loosened the hold on his wife, who ran towards her son. He couldn't go after her; he had to take care of this matter, replying to Bing Shi, "I don't know what came into our son. Their relationship was always on good terms."

"Maybe Xuan Mu stole his money," stated Bing Shi while thinking of the reason.

"..." Mr. Zhu looked at the calm woman. "My son is not that stupid to be cheated out of money. What happened?" he asked.

"I accepted his handshake, and he didn't want to let go... Maybe he thought that he was in a hand wrestling challenge or something?" contemplated Bing Shi, her voice monotonous, they couldn't tell if she was joking or not.

Zhu Cai chuckled while Mrs. and Mr. Zhu's faces twitched. Was this the right time for jokes? "Two men are fighting because of you, and that's what you think about?"

Bing Shi's face sank, "Do you mean it's my fault? What other reasons could there be? It's not like he fell in love at first sight. Oh." She opened her eyes in revelation like she just solved a big mystery, "It only works if a woman is pretty, and I'm sure he saw women prettier than me. He even injured my hand. I crossed that possibility as soon as it came to my mind. I'm even surprised that it crossed my mind. The answer which makes the most sense is... he likes Xuan Mu."

"..." Everyone turned their gaze towards Zhu Cai, who bit his lip in pain when the doctor put a cast on him. Putting one and one together, what she said truly did make sense.

"It's insane what can someone do in the name of love," standing next to Mr. Zhu, Bing Shi glanced at her boyfriend, "See my Xuan Mu, for example."

"BING SHI!! STOP TALKING AND COME HERE!" Xuan Mu yelled out loud; he was finally pinned to the ground by three soldiers.

"Mr. Zhu, your son, asked for it; you can't blame Xuan Mu," Bing Shi said, her tone serious, "Dr. Tzu, what's their situation?"

"I won't," Mr. Zhu replied and rushed towards his son.

Xuan Mu shouted at the soldiers who helped the doctor to check his injuries, "Let go of me! I'll turn your life into hell if you don't let go of me!"

Those soldiers looked at Bing Shi for help. With money, Xuan Mu bought his military force, where Bing Shi's position was as high as his. In case of emergencies, they could decide on who to listen to. Now, they were in a dilemma, knowing that if they listened to Bing Shi, everything would be fine, that's how much faith they had in her.

Bing Shi took a deep breath; she stood before Xuan Mu. From above, she looked at those mad pair of eyes, which would usually be distracted by the pair of slender legs before him, "Xuan Mu, my ears are bleeding from your loud shouts."

"Sorry for not being able to be calm as YOU!!!" Xuan Mu trashed around, full of frustration. He glared at Zhu Cai, whose placid eyes were on Bing Shi the whole time.

Zhu Cai analyzed her character; patient and reliable, a woman who would take fast actions with neutral standing. An excellent peacemaker.

Sitting at the couch with a haggard expression, a cast secured his arms. His eyes glanced at Xuan Mu before him, then darted back to Bing Shi. "Sorry," he apologized.

"You piece of shit, look at her again and I'll gauge out your eyes!" Xuan Mu warned, his tone filled with wrath. He started to fight with those soldiers again; who had a hard time holding him down.

Zhu Cai, hearing Xuan Mu's threats, didn't want to make things more complicated. Closing his eyes, an image of a mysterious woman appeared. She was similar in looks to Bing Shi, but not as visually beautiful. In a lab coat, with unkempt hair and serious face, she was doing experiments in test tubes. The feeling Bing Shi inflicted on him was familiar to that woman. Who the mysterious woman was, he had no idea. Like a lingering ghost, she haunted his dreams as long as he remembered.

"Mr. Xuan Mu has some light bruises on his body, nothing serious," doctor Tzu answered, "About Mr. Zhu Cai, he protected his head well, but in exchange, both his arms broke. His left hand's bone split in two. I wonder how his consciousness is still intact. He should be brought to the hospital as soon as possible."

"What are you waiting for? Hurry and bring him to the hospital," Bing Shi studied Xuan Mu's expression, "Mr. Zhu Cai, I won't apologize for your injuries. That, you have to wait for Xuan Mu." She ignored the 'you dare' eyes coming from her boyfriend and continued, "But I'll accept your apology. "

Zhu Cai, covered in sweat, answered with a relieved voice, "That's enough."

When the family Zhu left, Bing Shi reached her left hand for Xuan Mu, ordering, "Leave us alone and guard the entrance."

The soldiers let go of Xuan Mu carefully; after a salute, they walked out of the lounge to guard the entrance.

"What about your hand?" Dr. Tzu asked after taking care of injured soldiers.

"It's nothing. I get bruises like this all the time." Grabbing Xuan Mu's hand, Bing Shi helped him stand up, bringing him towards the couch, she sat next to him.

As his fingers interlocked with hers Xuan Mu leaned against the couch, feeling her shaky hands; he didn't know what to do. When he heard her sobbing, he panicked even more, letting go of her hand, he looked up at the ceiling.

〖Should I apologize? For what?〗

Nobody spoke a word.
