Chapter 60 Xia Shu’an, I feel so much pain
At noon, the sun was bright but not brutal. Several men and women wearing various suits walked out of the government building.
Shen Boyan held his head high with a slight smile on his face. He turned back to the people who were sending them to the door and said, “There’s no need to send us off.”
The man at the forefront once again held Shen Boyan’s hand and said enthusiastically, “Thank you very much, President Shen, for your support of the welfare cause!”
“This is the responsibility our company should bear…”
After a few polite exchanges, Shen Boyan followed everyone into the car.
Only when he got into the car did he change his smile to a cold look and say, “What’s next on the itinerary?”
Assistant Qi: “I made an appointment with President Qiao at Qiao Company at 2:00. There will be a department meeting at 4:30, a charity dinner in the evening, and a regular member gathering at the Chamber of Commerce.”
“Put it all off.” He spoke succinctly, as if he had thought of something pleasant, his lips suddenly pulling into an upward curve.
“I have something private to do tonight.”
Assistant Qi has long been accustomed to the boss’s state of never working overtime when it’s not necessary in the past six months, so he said in a good-natured manner, “Okay.”
The car drove smoothly, and Shen Boyan casually glanced out the window. The spring scenery was just right, and Rongchuan, shrouded in bright light, was showing vigorous vitality.
In this season, it gets dark at half past five, and by six o’clock, it’s almost night.
In the brightly lit laboratory, the senior sister turned off the computer, stood up, and was ready to leave. As she passed by Xia Shu’an, she asked, “Xiao Xia, you’re not leaving yet?”
Xia Shu’an raised his head and said, “I’ll be leaving soon.”
“Oh, then remember to lock the door.”
When the last person in the laboratory left, Xia Shu’an squinted his eyes and picked up his phone.
“Hey, where are you?”
“…I already said you don’t have to pick me up. I can just go there myself…Okay, okay, I’ll wait for you.”
The bored boyfriend wants to exercise his boyfriend’s power: pick him up on a date.
What else can he do? The president of a large enterprise whose time was worth millions came to pick him up for dinner. Of course he has to wait, right?
When it was about ten minutes before Shen Boyan arrived at the laboratory building, Xia Shu’an packed up his things, locked the door, and went out. The night was windy, so Xia Shu’an gathered his coat around himself. Seeing that there was still time, he decided to wait in his car.
Suddenly, a car drove in from outside and parked in a parking space at a distance. Xia Shu’an didn’t pay attention to it at first because it wasn’t one of Shen Boyan’s cars—until two big and strong men came down. They didn’t go to the middle of the road but came in Xia Shu’an’s direction. One of them was holding…
A stick! !
Xia Shu’an’s eyes darkened, alarm bells blaring in his heart. He instinctively wanted to lock the car door, but a man who was close took a big step out to open the door.
Xia Shu’an shouted, “What are you going to do?!”
The man said in a rough voice, “Come down!”
Soon enough, when the man’s hand touched the car door, Xia Shu’an pounced on the door handle and pulled it in with all his strength. However, another person also ran up and yanked the car door. If there were more people and strength, he definitely couldn’t compare to them!
The strength in his hand was slowly weakening, and Xia Shu’an started to panic. He turned his eyes to the steering wheel and the accelerator below; his heart became ruthless, his hand relaxed, and at the same time, he quickly stepped on the accelerator with one foot.
A white Santana stopped in front of his car with a “swoosh,” blocking his way. Xia Shu’an: “…”
So dedicated? !
With so much effort, the person pulling the car door has already half entered the car. Xia Shuan’s eyes darkened as he kicked out and instantly searched for tools that could be used in the car—
At this moment, a blue Bentley rushed to the front of the road. Its speed was not too fast, presumably due to the speed limit on campus, but it recklessly rammed into the Santana parked in front of the Xia Shu’an car.
There was a crunching sound, and the Santana was knocked several meters away. One side of the entire car was stuck on a protruding stone on the roadside before it barely came to a stop. This sudden accident stunned everyone inside and outside the car. After a while, a man walked out of the Bentley that finally stopped.
His face was still pale after the impact, but he rushed towards the two people surrounding Xia Shu’an’s car regardless.
Only then did the two men come to their senses and fling their sticks forward.
“What the hell do you want to do, kid?”
Shen Boyan’s face was livid, and his eyes were filled with anger as he rushed at the man at the front and picked up his fist.
The strong, muscular fist hit the man’s face, making a solid sound after the impact. The man in the back saw that one of his own was beaten, and he was so angry that he rushed forward and swung the stick at Shen Boyan.
Shen Boyan blocked the stick with his left hand, while his right hand was still twisting the neck of the man who had been punched. He kicked the man in front of him in the chest with his leg wrapped under his suit pants. While the two men were in pain, he took this chance to dart forward and slammed the car door shut, shouting, “Don’t come down!”
“But–”
Xia Shu’an didn’t know what he could do. He could only press the horn button hard while dialing 110: “Hello, police? This is Rongchuan University ……”
He called all the phone numbers he knew at the school’s security guard’s booth. After throwing down his phone, he craned his neck to look outside, and his heart dropped.
The two people who were looking for trouble outside had unknowingly turned into four people. One of the men who came out of Santana held a knife in his hand and barreled at Shen Boyan. Shen Boyan twisted the man’s hand hard, but because of this, he lost his resistance to the others, and the man on the left beat him with a stick on his shoulder.
The sound shook Xia Shu’an, who was in the car, and he tightened his eyebrows. Shen Boyan’s face showed a painful expression, but he remained firmly in front of the car.
“Shen Boyan!” Xia Shu’an gestured to get out of the car to help.
Shen Boyan received countless sticks on his body, and his elegant CEO image was nowhere to be found. His suit jacket was thrown to the ground, his shirt was cut in two slits, and blood oozed from his face. Seeing that Xia Shu’an was about to get off the car, he roared, “Don’t come down!”
After saying that, he took a step back and pressed the car door with his back.
Xia Shu’an: “…”
“I’ll let you be a f*cking hero!”
A man roared and rushed towards Shen Boyan, the stick in his hand smashed over to Shen Boyan’s head. Shen Boyan raised his hands to bear this stick, but a knife followed, and he was stabbed in the chest.
The cold light from the knife made Xia Shu’an’s brain stop functioning for a few seconds. Shen Boyan’s hands that were holding the stick came down hard to clamp the blade and twisted it violently. While leaning against the car door, he roared and kicked the man’s chest.
Shen Boyan held the knife in his hand, his gaze flashing coldly under the light of the knife.
“Come again?”
Several people hesitated and didn’t dare to step forward. At this time, someone finally ran over from the direction of the school gate. Two people in security uniforms shouted loudly, “What are you doing?”
Seeing that there were more and more people, two of them exchanged a glance, left Shen Boyan, and quickly sat back in their car. Two headlights flashed, and they quickly disappeared into the night as they broke through the security guard’s roar.
“Shen Boyan!”
Xia Shu’an pushed open the door and jumped out of the car. Shen Boyan had a cut on his face and arm. The bright red blood penetrated the white shirt fabric and soaked into his forearm.
Xia Shu’an quickly walked to Shen Boyan but didn’t know how to help him.
“Shen Boyan, are you okay?”
Shen Boyan was supported by two security guards. When he heard his voice, he raised his head and smiled reassuringly: “I’m fine. It’s just flesh wounds.”
“What do you mean ‘just’?” Xia Shu’an’s scalp went numb when he remembered the sound of the stick hitting his arm. He wavered and quickly said, “Let’s go to the hospital!”
Fortunately, this is a university town, and there is a hospital nearby. Shen Boyan was escorted to the hospital by Xia Shu’an and a security guard. Xia Shu’an called Assistant Qi on the way, and Assistant Qi quickly contacted the hospital. When they arrived, they went directly into the VIP ward.
After a set of procedures was completed, it was already an hour later when Shen Boyan sat back in the ward.
The wounds on his face were simply treated, and the stab wound on his chest wasn’t serious. His back, shoulders, and arms were hit several times with a stick. His back and shoulders were fine, but his arms were fractured. The hospital treated him with a cold compress and carefully applied the latest medical polymer bandage inside and outside. When Assistant Qi arrived, Shen Boyan had already finished the treatment and was sitting on the head of the bed, whispering something to Xia Shu’an.
Shen Boyan tilted his head with a smile on his face. He didn’t look like an injured person, but like a parent trying to make his child happy. Xia Shu’an just lowered his head, his face obscured and unclear.
Seeing Assistant Qi, Xia Shu’an stood up and stepped aside, whispering, “You guys chat, I’m going out.”
After saying that, he walked out of the room.
Shen Boyan’s gaze was gentle as he watched him walk out the door, and he smiled as the door closed: “I’m angry.”
Assistant Qi: “…”
The next moment, he put away the smile on his face, and a cold light burst out from his pupils.
“Go pull up the school surveillance and find those guys who attacked Xia Shu’an.”
…….
…….
Xia Shu’an walked out of the hospital room, still feeling the iffy smell of medicine and slightly low air pressure lingering around him, making it hard on his chest.
He was going to sit in the doorway for a while, but just as he sat down, he stood up again. He walked to the window and looked at the hazy white light outside, feeling irritable. His mind was filled with the image of Shen Boyan blocking the door even after being beaten, as well as the bruises, purple, white, and red wounds on his body during the examination, causing his chest to become increasingly congested.
At this moment, Lu Cai also arrived. He was not different from the elite Shen Boyan, who seemed to follow the rules but actually exerted pressure on others. When he looked up and saw Xia Shu’an, he raised his hand and shouted loudly, “Brother Xia!”
“Brother Xia, why are you here? Why don’t you go in?”
“Assistant Qi is here.”
“Ah, is that so?”
Assistant Qi is mostly responsible for company affairs. No matter how good their relationship is, this person needs to have a keen eye. Even if they are as casual as Lu Cai, they will not get involved in private work discussions between Shen Boyan and Assistant Qi.
This person must be sensible.
Xia Shu’an stopped talking after saying one sentence.
Lu Cai’s brain was lacking, and he didn’t know how to comfort people. But when he saw Xia Shu’an purse his lips with an unhappy look, he tried to “comfort” him in his own way: “Brother Xia, are you upset? Don’t worry, the boss has been through a lot; this injury doesn’t matter.”
Xia Shu’an squinted his eyes, feeling uncomfortable hearing this sentence.
He knew that Shen Boyan had a difficult time in the past, and he also knew that the other party had mixed around in society, but his own life circle was too comfortable. His stable experience since childhood made it difficult for him to imagine what Shen Boyan had experienced specifically.
He couldn’t help but lick his lips and say, “What exactly did Shen Boyan do in the past?”
“This is a long story…” Before this long story could begin, the door to the room was opened from the inside.
Assistant Qi stuck his head out and said, “We’ve finished talking. President Shen asked you two to come in.”
Xia Shu’an went in first, followed by Lu Cai. As soon as he entered the room, he said nonchalantly, “Boss, are you okay?”
“It’s nothing, just trauma.”
“If it’s an internal injury, you won’t be talking here.”
Xia Shu’an chided him expressionlessly, yet Shen Boyan didn’t refute. He just smiled, turned to Lu Cai, and said, “I’m hungry.”
“Okay, I’ll go buy food for you, boss.”
“I also……”
“Xiao Shu, don’t go.”
Shen Boyan stopped him, with a helpless and pitiful expression on his face: “Don’t leave; I want you to stay with me.”
The other two people present were nauseated to varying degrees. Xia Shu’an was probably also nauseated. In the end, he didn’t go downstairs but stayed beside the hospital bed.
After the two people left, the room was quiet except for the ticking sound of the clock on the wall and the faintness of a heartbeat, if anything.
“Xia Shu’an.”
“What?”
Xia Shu’an subconsciously raised his head. Shen Boyan, who was originally in the middle of the bed, reached the edge of the bed at some point. He leaned outward with one foot supported on the ground, and the hand that wasn’t bandaged forcefully picked up Xia Shu’an, bringing him towards the bed.
Xia Shu’an:? ? ?
“Is there something wrong with you?!!”
Xia Shu’an opened his mouth to curse but was afraid of touching him if he moved. He was stiff and didn’t dare to struggle, allowing Shen Boyan to carry him to the bed.
After reaching the bed, Shen Boyan’s chest pressed against his back, his head leaning against his shoulder. The blood he shed was like a rising temperature, scorching hot against Xia Shu’an’s skin. On the other hand, he himself, as if acting spoiled, softly said, “Lean closer.”
Xia Shu’an: “…”
Lean on ghosts!
“Shen Boyan, are you sick somewhere else?!”
“Didn’t you already know this?”
“…”
Shen Boyan blocked his mouth with just one sentence. Then, he rubbed his cheek against Xia Shu’an’s neck, sniffing his scent like a puppy, and murmured while sniffing: “Xia Shu’an, you smell so good.”
“So sweet.”
Crazy, sweetness is a sense of taste not smell!
Xia Shu’an sat in his arms, with Shen Boyan’s blood-drenched chest behind him as he undressed. In front was his dangling, bandaged arm. On his head was the man’s hanging hair, and on his face was the burning heat of his breath.
He didn’t dare to move, but he couldn’t bear it. He really wanted to cut open the head of the man named Shen Boyan to see what was inside and why he could even risk his life to act like a hooligan!
“Xia Shu’an.” Shen Boyan murmured, “I’m in so much pain.”
The cruel thoughts in Xia Shu’an’s mind suddenly tightened and then slowly, slowly dissipated.
Behind him, a smile slowly crept on the man’s face as he stared at his biting lips and distressed profile.
“Xia Shu’an, give me some energy and let me carry on.”
Why don’t you go eat an energy bar? However, with this nonviolent roast, Xia Shu’an still gently averted his face, along with the strength of the man’s fingers.
He opened his lips unwillingly and obediently under the man’s deep gaze.
