Rebirth from the Ashes

Chapter 391: Nosebleed

The car behind Shen Xi honked.

Shen Xi was very respectful and moved to the side to give way to the car.

The car still honked.

Shen Xi frowned strangely and wanted to see what kind of car that was because she had already moved to the side of the wall, but it kept honking at her. When she looked back, she saw the car had reached her side and was slowly following her.

The window slowly opened to reveal the man’s noble face. He looked at her with warm eyes and a smile, “Get in.”

Shen Xi was surprised. The warmth she felt in her heart spread to her limbs and she suddenly did not feel cold anymore. “Brother, why are you out so early?”

Li Yuan opened the car door and looked at her. “Get in.”

Shen Xi happily got into the car. This was her first time sitting in his car, so she was a little excited. Her heart was racing when she suddenly felt a warmth in her palms. The man stuffed a small hand warmer to her. Shen Xi smiled brighter as she held the hand warmer and said, “Thanks, Brother.”

Li Yuan looked at the girl heartbreakingly, “Why are you not dressed warmly? You didn’t take an umbrella either… What if you get sick?”

Shen Xi pointed to her hat and smiled with arched eyes. “Others have umbrellas, but I have a hat, so I won’t get sick.”

Li Yuan reached out and touched her hat. It was a little wet, so he asked her to remove her jacket and put it on the passenger seat to dry. He then asked Kun Lun to turn up the heat in the car.

Shen Xi was a little sleepy as she got up too early, so her head started bobbing around. Finally, she could not hold on anymore and tilted her head to the side as she fell asleep on Li Yuan’s shoulder.

Li Yuan lowered his eyes and felt heartbroken. He reached out and covered her with the blanket and adjusted her head so that she was in a comfortable position, and fell asleep as well.

When they got to the airport, Li Yuan gently shook Shen Xi. He was reluctant to wake her up because she was sleeping so soundly, but it was already time for her to go. His soothing voice was a little raspy, which was very sexy and alluring. “Xixi, wake up. We’re at the airport.”

Shen Xi was so drowsy that when she heard his voice, she nestled her head on his chest and encircled his waist with her arms as she muttered in a daze.

When the girl’s soft body was pressed up against him, her sweet fragrance filled his nose. Li Yuan’s breathing was a little heavier and his eyes turned darker. His thin lips were close to her ear as he whispered, “Then we’ll skip the exam, okay?”

Upon hearing the word “exam”, Shen Xi reflexively raised her head, which smacked his chin, and she winced in pain.

In the next moment, she felt a warm liquid on the tip of her nose, so she looked up and saw blood flowing out of the man’s nostrils.

Shen Xi was dumbfounded. “Brother, you have a nosebleed!”

Kun Lun quickly handed over tissues, water, wet wipes, and towels.

Shen Xi was panicking. In the end, she took two clumps of tissues to plug his nostrils. When she saw her masterpiece, she could not help but laugh.

Since Li Yuan’s nose was stuffed with tissue, he had a nasal tone which made his voice sound even sexier and richer. “If you don’t leave now, you won’t be able to catch your flight.”

Shen Xi met the man’s narrow eyes that seemed like they held the entire galaxy. For a moment, she was a little breathless and her heart skipped a beat. She nervously picked up her school bag and was about to leave.

Li Yuan grabbed the girl’s arm and gently pulled her back as he looked at her helplessly, “Put on your coat.”

Shen Xi took the coat that he handed over and put it on.

Li Yuan looked at her. “Don’t move.”

Shen Xi obediently stopped moving and sat upright like a goody-two-shoes.

Li Yuan looked at the girl’s cute and silly face and laughed out loud. “Your buttons are misaligned.”

Shen Xi looked down and was embarrassed to find that she buttoned it wrongly, then watched as the man’s slender fingers slowly unbuttoned her coat.

From her angle, she could see the man’s delicate side profile. His skin was a little too pale and felt like jade. His neck was long and he had a sexy Adam’s apple.

His white shirt was buttoned to the top, which made him look self-restrained and aloof, which was inexplicably sexy.

Shen Xi blushed as the little devil in her head suddenly told her to tear his shirt open.

“Remember to call me when you arrive safely.” Li Yuan buttoned her coat again and spoke, oblivious to the fact that Shen Xi was having some unseemly thoughts about him at the moment. “What time is your return flight? Let me know.”

Only then did Shen Xi return to her senses. She calmed her mind, bit her lips, and averted her eyes from the man’s collar. She then answered softly with a slightly hoarse voice, “Okay.”

When Li Yuan finished buttoning her coat, he wrapped a scarf around her neck gently with endless affection.

Shen Xi dared not look at him again and averted her gaze. She was afraid that she could not control her thoughts.

“Done.” Li Yuan looked at the girl with satisfaction and patted her little head gently with his big hand. He asked, “Does it still hurt?”

“It doesn’t hurt anymore,” Shen Xi said without looking at him, then turned around and left. Her heart was a little stuffy and the tip of her nose tingled.

Shen Xi was afraid that if she did not leave now, she would be too reluctant to leave.

It was just an exam, and she would be back in a day, but she could not bear to leave him.

Li Yuan watched as the girl left in a hurry. He moved over and grabbed her wrist. When she turned around, her big bright eyes were a little moist, which made him feel a little distressed. He gave her a flask and said, “Take this. Don’t take cold drinks.”

Shen Xi heard his words and hugged the flask he gave her. Her eyes felt more swollen as she nodded. She was afraid that she would cry, so she turned her back to face him and waved her hand. “Goodbye, Brother.”

Li Yuan just said, “All the best in your exam.”

To the left of the Shen Xi, Li Yuan watched as a group of people who were talking and laughing approached his girl.

His warm and vulnerable little lady instantly became cold and aloof. Her body language was saying “keep out”. His eyes darkened and he felt a vague pain in his heart.

Li Yuan thought, ‘How much suffering did my little sun go through to put on such cold armor as a disguise?’

Kun Lun looked at Shen Xi through the car window and could not help but admire her.

‘Little Madam’s attitude change is so quick! She’s only herself in front of her parents and Boss, huh?’

The Top Class who were all joining the physics competition gathered at No. 4 High School before they went to the airport together.

Shen Xi and Song Wenye were the only two who were not from the Top Class. They did not want to see those repulsive faces, so they came to the airport directly after having spoken to the team’s teacher.

The people across the road were from the Top Class.

“F*ck! I just saw a Rolls-Royce Silver Ghost!” One of the boys from the Top Class suddenly pointed at the roadside and his eyes burning.

“This is the only one in the world that’s worth 2 billion yuan! Open your eyes!”

“Look at the license plate! C8888. The license plate isn’t much cheaper than the car, right? Whose car is this?”

“With this level, why would they come to the airport? They probably own a private airport and private jet, right?”

“That’s Shen Xi! I think I saw her coming out from that car.”
