He Felt Sorry For Her

Zhou Junjie's hand had just reached out when Jiang Xia felt a movement on her waist. With lightning-fast reflexes, she grabbed his hand and twisted it with all her might. "Crack!" Then, Jiang Xia spun around and kicked him in the lower abdomen.

She didn't hold back at all! Zhou Junjie's entire palm was twisted, and the pain in his lower body made him bend over, unable to straighten up.

But that wasn't enough!

Someone grabbed the back of his shirt, and then a fist came straight at his face! One punch was enough to knock him to the ground.

Then, punch after punch landed heavily on him.

Pan Daidi and her second daughter-in-law, who had been kicked by Jiang Xia and couldn't get up, were now stunned on the ground in fear.

Zhou Chenglei's fists landed solidly on him.

Each punch hit bone, causing pain that went deep into his marrow.

He curled up on the ground, unable to get up, the pain so intense that he couldn't even make a sound.

Zhou Chenglei had returned with Zhou Yongguo. When Zhou Yongguo saw him acting like a madman, he quickly stepped forward and pulled him back. "Alright, that's enough! That's enough!"

Zhou Chenglei was finally pulled away with great difficulty.

Only after he withdrew his hand did Pan Daidi regain her senses and shout, "He's hitting people! Help!..."

The second daughter-in-law also yelled, "A

"It's too awful for three people to bully a young woman like that..."

Zhou Chenglei of the Zhou family pulled Jiang Xia back into the room, looking at her, "Are you hurt anywhere?"

Jiang Xia shook her head, "No."

Zhou Chenglei was afraid she was holding back, really wanting to check her over, but he couldn't, and could only worry anxiously, "If you're hurt, you have to say so. I'll have my mom put some medicine on for you."

Jiang Xia rubbed her scalp, "Really, I'm not. Just my scalp is a little sore. You saw when you came back, I was the one holding them down to hit."

Zhou Chenglei felt lingering fear when he thought of the scene he saw upon returning. He couldn't help but pull her into his arms, his large hand cupping her head, gently rubbing her scalp, "Next time you encounter something like this, just run. There are more of them. Don't fight them. It's not worth it if you get hurt. Go find me, or go next door, and wait for me to come back. I'll help you fight. If anything happens to you, I..."

His Adam's apple bobbed with difficulty, unable to speak for a moment.

When he saw her hair and clothes disheveled just now, his mind went blank! Even though she was the one holding them down to hit, all he knew was that she was being bullied, and his heart ached beyond words, wanting nothing more than to kill them!

He couldn't imagine what he would do if something happened to her! What he would do!

Caught off guard by the sudden embrace, Jiang Xia was stunned.

Then she felt his body tremble slightly. Her height only reached his chest, and her ear was right against his heart, which was beating very fast.

He's scared, he's worried about me, was her perception at that moment.

Jiang Xia couldn't help but think of the night of the Typhoon, when he didn't hesitate to shield her from the falling tiles, his arm still not fully healed. Thinking of how she fell yesterday, and he seemed to sense it, turning back to look and unhesitatingly pulling her away from the pile of rocks, thinking of when she first transmigrated...

Zhou Chenglei had lived for nearly thirty years. He had always been rational, never losing control. He always knew what he wanted, so he clearly knew his own heart at this moment. He held Jiang Xia for a while before finding his voice, his large hand still gently rubbing her scalp, "Does it still hurt?"

Jiang Xia came back to her senses, "It doesn't hurt anymore."

Zhou Chenglei released her, holding her shoulders with both hands, looking at her.

Jiang Xia looked up at him.

Zhou Chenglei looked at her beautiful eyes, his Adam's apple bobbing slightly, the hands holding her shoulders unconsciously tightening, a little nervous, "Jiang Xia, we..."
