Chapter 35

“Meng Hechuan!” She subconsciously called his name for help.

Under the impact of inertia, the whole person couldn’t control himself and continued to rush forward.

Bai Yan closed her eyes.

Meng Hechuan’s reaction was already quite quick.

He dropped the candied haws in his hand and went to pick her up, but in the end he could only grab the back of her clothes.

Bai Yan’s knee hit the ice hard, making a “dong” sound.

She gritted her teeth, opened her eyes, gasped, and broke out in a cold sweat.

Her face was only a few centimeters away from the ice knife. She could even feel the hair on her face standing up under the coldness of the ice knife.

If Meng Hechuan hadn’t grabbed her in time, her face would have been covered in blood by now!

Bai Yan’s heart was burning with anger. She ignored the burning pain in her knees and stood up suddenly. “Who pushed me on purpose?”

When I turned my head, I saw some unapologetic faces.

Xu Qingqing and her small team stood behind her.

Among them, Zhihua sat on the ground exaggeratedly, covering his mouth with his hands.

He also looked frightened. “Oh my god, how did I bump into someone? Why is Chief Engineer Meng here? Who did I bump into?”

She pretended not to recognize Bai Yan.

Someone took Zhihua’s hand and added, “Zhihua, it’s not your fault. Who would have thought that someone would come to the skating rink and not skate, but just stand there for a long time without knowing what they were trying to flirt with?”

She gestured to Meng Hechuan, “Chief Engineer Meng, Qingqing also twisted her ankle just now when she was trying to hold onto Sister Zhihua!”

Meng Hechuan pursed his lips and kicked the pair of ice skates that suddenly appeared into the corner, then helped Bai Yan up from the ground.

His expression was unclear.

“The person who bumped into me just now was…” Seeing that Meng Hechuan had not paid any attention to her, Zhihua looked a little embarrassed.

She cleared her throat and took the initiative to say, “Isn’t this Comrade Bai Yan? It was you who bumped into me just now? Why were you so careless? Why did you stand there without moving? You made me fall too. It hurts so much!”

Zhihua usually follows Xu Qingqing around, and relies on his status as the leader’s daughter’s follower to bully others all day long.

They actually treated the art class as a patrol team.

He is usually arrogant and domineering. Today, when he bumped into Bai Yan, not only did he not apologize, he even wanted to turn the tables.

Xu Qingqing’s eyes also turned red at the right time, and she looked at Meng Hechuan, “Hechuan, my foot was also twisted.”

Meng Hechuan didn’t say anything, but looked at Bai Yan with a frown.

Bai Yan’s knees were swollen and painful. There were too many people around, so she couldn’t lift up her trouser legs to check. She also didn’t want to show weakness in front of Xu Qingqing and her gang.

She gritted her teeth and endured it, the pain causing sweat to break out on her forehead.

Bai Yan wanted to sit down first, past Xu Qingqing. When she opened her mouth, her voice became unclear due to the pain, “…get…out of the way.”

“Your voice was too soft. What did you say? We couldn’t hear you.”

Someone started shouting, and the girls around Xu Qingqing all laughed, “You’re from the countryside in Jinling, right? You can’t even speak Mandarin clearly, and you want to be a translator?”

Zhihua even exaggeratedly got up from the ground and rushed to Bai Yan, “You have a voice like a kitten or a puppy, and you still want to imitate others to sing on stage? Straighten your tongue before learning to speak!”

She scratched her ears, her expression looking like she deserved a beating, “I didn’t hear what you said.”

“She said get out of the way.”

A voice as cold as iron suddenly sounded, and before Zhihua could rush to Bai Yan, he was stopped by an arm.

Meng Hechuan stood in front of Bai Yan to prevent her from being hit by Zhihua again.

The man pursed his lips, his eyes were cold, and his cold voice was faintly displeased, “Xu Qingqing, did you hear me clearly this time?”

Meng Hechuan called her by name in front of everyone. Xu Qingqing was annoyed and panicked, “Hechuan…”

Usually Xu Qingqing always boasted in the art class that she and Meng Hechuan were childhood sweethearts.

But she knew in her heart that apart from the fact that they grew up in the same compound, Meng Hechuan had basically no other interactions with her.

But even so, she always believed that her relationship with Meng Hechuan was different from others.

Otherwise, why wasn’t he angry even when I broke his most beloved airplane model?

Isn’t this obvious favoritism?

But why would he slap her in the face in public just for a woman he had only known for a few days?

“Hechuan, you misunderstood. I didn’t say that just now…”

“I have eyes and ears, and I know how to distinguish.”

Meng Hechuan didn’t give Xu Qingqing a chance to quibble. He focused his attention on Bai Yan and took her to sit down first. “Does your knee hurt?”

Bai Yan nodded and added softly, “I feel swollen…”

Seeing Meng Hechuan about to bend down, Bai Yan thought he was going to examine her in front of so many people, so she quickly leaned over to stop him, “No, no, no, there are too many people…”

Meng Hechuan paused, then looked up: “Don’t let your imagination run wild.”

He just bent down and took off the pair of ice skates on Bai Yan’s feet.

Lu Jili also slid back, pushed away the other girls with an unexpected expression, and took back Bai Yan’s original shoes.

Meng Hechuan helped Bai Yan put on her shoes.

When he was about to stand up, he paused, stretched the part of the shoe where the glue was coming off, and then stood up.

“Can you walk?” He stretched out his hand, and Bai Yan naturally supported herself and stood up. It should be fine if she walked slowly.”

Lu Jili assisted from the side, “Sister Ayan’s expression doesn’t look right. If your feet can’t move, you’d better not be so stubborn. Let Chief Engineer Meng carry you to see a doctor, okay?”

She had to see a doctor for sure, but Bai Yan still had some new and old grudges to avenge.

She supported Meng Hechuan’s hand and asked him in a low voice: “Chief Engineer Meng, who is responsible for the members of the Aerospace Brigade who are causing trouble outside?”

Meng Hechuan’s eyebrows jumped involuntarily, “It’s under my control.”

“If the members of the Space Team were to cause trouble or quarrel outside, what would happen before you would intervene?”

“No fighting, no brawls, no trouble for the organization, … no bloodshed.”

Bai Yan calmed herself down.

But thinking that her image in Meng Hechuan’s heart was not good, and that she would target Meng Hechuan’s childhood sweetheart, in order to ensure that she would not be caught by Meng Hechuan, she couldn’t help but confirm it again and again.

“Chief Engineer Meng, I know you still have doubts about my identity. But let’s be clear, I wasn’t the one who caused the trouble first. You won’t bend the law for personal gain and help your… childhood sweetheart, right?”

“Do you want me to bend the law for personal gain?” Meng Hechuan glanced at him.

“No.”

“Then just shut up and stop asking these stupid questions.”

With his words, Bai Yan felt completely relieved.

She cleared her throat, still supporting Meng Hechuan with her arms.

Taking advantage of Master Meng’s power, he made himself look more powerful.

A pair of almond-shaped eyes glanced coldly at Xu Qingqing and her bullying group, and indeed saw that one of the girls was not wearing ice skates.

Bai Yan looked at the people opposite her who were watching the show, then glanced at the malice on the face of the girl who was not wearing ice skates, and her gaze grew colder inch by inch.

“It wasn’t a collision.”

“What?” Zhihua was stunned and spoke subconsciously.

Her tone became cold and sharp, “I mean, we didn’t collide just now, you pushed me on purpose.”
