Quick Transmigration: Still Life Fairy

"Wait a moment, let me try to turn on my phone."

In the darkness, with nothing visible, Yu Liu could only hope that she herself would act as a buffer, and that the phone wasn't broken and could still light up.

In fact, having something to cushion your phone won't cause any problems.

A glimmer of light appeared in the darkness, right at Xu Xiunian's feet. If he had taken another step back when he was creating distance between himself and the young man, he would have stepped on it.

That was close!

Xu Xiunian picked up his phone with a pounding heart. In the dim light, he could see Yu Liu lying on the ground beneath the screen.

"Baby, how are you? Are you hurt? Where does it hurt? Do you feel any discomfort?"

Xu Xiunian was heartbroken and quickly asked, as he needed to assess Yu Liu's injuries through the simplest questions and answers.

Yu Liu isn't a real person after all; she won't die from being pressed down.

"It's okay, I'm much better now. I'll be fine after a while. You should call the bodyguard right away!"

"it is good!"

The moment Xu Xiunian dialed the number, even before the call was answered, the bodyguards knew something was wrong. They had protected Xu Xiunian for over a decade without ever encountering such a situation. Xu Xiunian rarely called them, and they had become quite negligent over the years, allowing their employer to get into trouble right under their noses!

The bodyguards were not far away, but the layers of leaves concealed everything that was happening in the grove. Realizing that something was wrong, they arrived at the scene in less than a minute.

Meanwhile, the young man was still fighting with his classmates. There were many of them, and they were holding long wooden sticks. Even though he had a short knife, it was useless. The classmates could neither do anything to him nor to the classmates.

The bodyguards were all seasoned veterans, and the young man's skills had no effect on them. The lead bodyguard did not slow down and rushed out of the fray, kicking the young man's wrist and sending his dagger flying out of his hand.

Then, with a lightning-fast punch, KO!

The immense force sent the young man flying backward, and he was unable to get up after landing.

"Young Master, are you alright?"

Xu Xiunian's left hand twitched a couple of times. "It's nothing."

Although they could only make out the figures with difficulty, the bodyguards still understood the situation at a glance.

"What happened today was our dereliction of duty, and we will naturally accept our punishment from the young master when we get back."

"I understand. My classmate is injured. Please remember to take them to the hospital. I have something to do here, so I'll be going now. Thank you."

The last sentence was clearly addressed to the students next to him.

The classmates all knew Xu Xiunian's personality; if he said he had something to do, he definitely did. They responded and let him go.

Yu Liu sat in Xu Xiunian's palm, her nose filled with the strong smell of blood.

"...You're injured."

“It’s okay, I can handle it myself. If someone sees it, it will alert my brother and the others. They usually have a lot of work to do, and I don’t want to bother them.”

When Yu Liu got home and turned on the lights, she learned that Xu Xiunian had also suffered a serious injury.

He had suddenly knocked the young man down, completely ignoring the knife pressed against his arm. The sharp blade had cut a long gash in his arm, but fortunately the wound wasn't deep; although the flesh was somewhat torn, the bleeding had stopped.

And his hands—both his left and right hands were injured by the blades of the daggers while he was grabbing them. The ten fingers are connected to the heart, yet he didn't show it at all.

While treating her own wound, Xu Xiunian touched the torn flesh on her hand several times, but he didn't say a word. Yu Liu vaguely felt that something had changed about him, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it.

Yu Liu sat on the table with her knees drawn up to her chest, watching Xu Xiunian treat his wounds. She wanted to say something to ease the silence, but the words wouldn't come out.

Fortunately, after treating the wound, Xu Xiunian returned to normal. He stripped Yu Liu naked, without any romantic thoughts, and gave her a full body check-up with concern. Only after confirming that she was alright did he finally feel relieved.

Afterwards, Xu Xiunian called Yang Youshu. The whole thing started because of Yang Youshu's letter, and he didn't know if his senior had been involved.

"A letter? What letter? If I really needed to talk to you, I could just send you a text message. There's no need to go through all this trouble to have someone deliver a letter to you. Do you think I'm stupid? You didn't fall for it, did you? Which girl used my name to ask you out?"

Xu Xiunian did not tell Yang Youshu what had happened. Yang Youshu thought that someone had a crush on Xu Xiunian and was using her name to send him love letters. Although she was inevitably unhappy, she would not blame anyone if someone actually used this to get together with her junior.

"She didn't go, which is why I called you to ask, just in case that letter really was handed to me by you."

"No, how could I be so fussy!"

It wasn't Yang Youshu herself; the letter must have been sent by someone who knew her to lure her to the grove. And that group of thugs had been lying in ambush in the grove for a long time. Obviously, the person who actually delivered the letter to her was Jiang Xinyan.

She was the one who proposed the plan to harm herself, and she was also the one who revealed the baby to that person from the Qingfeng Gang. I underestimated her ruthlessness; she is someone who will stop at nothing to achieve her goals.

Ultimately, this incident stemmed from his own lack of caution. He had grown up under the protection of his family, getting whatever he wanted without ever being asked anything of him. This left him with a naive and impractical mindset, devoid of any sense of crisis.

If he had taken the time to think things through when he received that letter, disregarded his senior's feelings, called her to inquire about the situation, or simply avoided the meeting because it was too late, he could have perfectly avoided this whole mess. Jiang Xinyan's plan was riddled with flaws; with just a little attention, he wouldn't have fallen for it. But alas... he not only fell for it, but he also caused his baby to get hurt.

Just a few days ago, I was so confident that I would protect her. At that time, I was happy to have met the baby. Now, I hate myself so much because I was powerless to fight back when I was in danger, let alone protect others.

If he had the physique and skills of a bodyguard, he wouldn't think of begging others when faced with such a situation. The most reliable person in this world is yourself!

I was still too inexperienced.

Baby... I'm sorry...

This will never happen again.

Xu Xiunian turned to look at Yu Liu, who was sleeping next to his pillow. She was completely unaffected by what had happened today, looking carefree. That was fine too; the humiliation was something he could remember all by himself.
