"What do you mean by looking at me like that? I didn’t lose the fight; I guarantee Jin Chenye is more injured than I am!" Yu Xiuzhun gritted his teeth, displaying a man’s unique confidence and fierceness.

"..."

Dare she say she was worried about Jin Chenye?

What did Yu Xiuzhun’s life or death matter to her? If he died, she’d only burn incense and thank the heavens.

"Are you cursing me?" Yu Xiuzhun squinted his wicked eyes, looking at the silent Ye Mingmei.

Ye Mingmei looked at him innocently; she hadn’t said a word.

"You’re cursing me in your heart, I heard it." Yu Xiuzhun confidently spoke, grabbing her wrist and pulling her closer. "Don’t think I don’t know you’re feeling sorry for Jin Chenye. But I beat him up, and if you keep getting tangled up with him, I’ll beat him up every time I see him!"

"What’s the difference between this and being a thug?" Ye Mingmei looked at him in shock.

Yu Xiuzhun shrugged indifferently, sneering, "I was born a thug, what do you care?"

"..."

Ye Mingmei realized that people could be so shameless. Her beautiful eyes tinted with anger, she bit her lip and said nothing, quietly tending to his wounds.

While massaging his bruises, she deliberately pinched him harder, wishing his injuries would worsen so he would know what it felt like to be beaten.

Yu Xiuzhun seemed impervious to pain, not even a grunt, letting her small hands torment his body. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

"All done. Bruises won’t heal that quickly, and I’m not sure if this treatment is right; you might want to go to the hospital for a check-up, just in case there are internal injuries."

Ye Mingmei packed up the medicine box and stood up with it.

"Why go to a hospital? Such small injuries are nothing." Yu Xiuzhun raised an eyebrow, indifferent.

In the Yu family, everyone had to fight hard to establish a foothold to have a chance of surviving there.

He grew up mixing on the streets and had lost count of the injuries he received.

These injuries were the least significant.

"But..." Ye Mingmei started to persuade him, but remembering how he had treated her before, she swallowed her words.

If he didn’t care for himself, why should she worry?

If he got himself killed, it would be a blessing to everyone, no need for her to intervene.

Glancing at him, Ye Mingmei carried the medicine box and walked out.

When she returned, she found her phone ringing. Just as she was about to step forward, Yu Xiuzhun had already picked it up.

Seeing the caller ID, a cold fury flashed across his brows.

"Yu Xiuzhun, that’s my call!" Ye Mingmei hurried forward, snatching the phone from him, and held it protectively against her chest.

"What’s he calling you this late for?" Yu Xiuzhun’s brow furrowed, his gaze turned icy.

"..."

Ye Mingmei didn’t answer; she hadn’t even picked up the call, how would she know?

"Why not answer?" Yu Xiuzhun yanked her into his arms, his large hand rubbing her waist, whispering temptingly against her shoulder.

Ye Mingmei was about to hang up the call, but Yu Xiuzhun pressed answer first, deliberately kissing her neck, almost making her scream.

"Mingmei, are you asleep?" Jin Chenye’s voice remained as gentle as ever, with a hint of concern.

"...Yes, sleeping. It’s so late, what is it?" Ye Mingmei forced herself to act calm, clutching the phone tighter.
