Chapter 107: Unlucky Kid
The Fat Girl took the tissue and stealthily glanced at Xuan Xia with her teary eyes.
Xuan Xia met her gaze, thinking she probably wouldn’t calm down for a while, so she suggested, “How about we go inside to talk about the details? Manager Huang should be here by now, right?”
The Fat Girl, who was blowing her nose, immediately shouted, “I’m not going in!”
This voice was no smaller than Qu Xingxuan’s earlier yells.
Xuan Xia: “…”
Who was she throwing a tantrum at?
The Fat Girl didn’t want to go in, but Xuan Xia wanted to.
She wanted to go see Huang Ke!
Xuan Xia said, “Then let’s quickly clarify the accident responsibility.”
She was in a hurry.
Qu Xingxuan shoved his mobile phone in front of the Fat Girl, “Compensate me for my phone screen!”
The Fat Girl blew her nose again, stuck out her neck, and said, “What does it have to do with me? I don’t have money!”
“How does it not have to do with you? You knocked my phone out of my hand.” Qu Xingxuan jumped up again, “If you hadn’t bumped me, how would my phone fall and the screen shatter.”
The Fat Girl said, “You didn’t hold it steady yourself, what’s that got to do with me? And in such a big space, you bumped into me! You’re the one trying to scam me!”
Qu Xingxuan gasped, “I’ve never seen such a shameless person as you!”
The Fat Girl glared at him and reiterated, “Anyway, don’t even think about scamming me, I have no money!”
After a pause, she added, “If you insist on scamming me, watch out, I’ll call the police.”
“Call the police? Go ahead, call…” Qu Xingxuan shouted while looking around, “There’s surveillance here, right? Perfect, call the police and check the surveillance to see whose fault it really was.”
The Fat Girl didn’t expect the other party to not fear calling the police either, so she started repeating, “Don’t scam me, I have no money!”
Xuan Xia was speechless and was about to tell Li Xinze that he should stay here with Qu Xingxuan while she went in first.
At this moment, Qu Xingxuan stammered in anger, “S-scam you? You you you…, fine fine fine, today this young master will be generous and let you off the hook.”
“Repair the person first, repair virtue! You’re a person without virtue, no wonder you’re facing unemployment crisis, you’re doomed to mediocrity your whole life… Ow ow ow…”
Xuan Xia was shocked!
The Fat Girl had suddenly grabbed Qu Xingxuan’s hair, forcing his head down. His expression couldn’t be seen, only his ow ow cries could be heard, while the Fat Girl’s expression showed she was using all her strength.
Xuan Xia quickly reached out, “Hey hey hey, that’s not right.”
Upon hearing this, the Fat Girl swung Qu Xingxuan toward Xuan Xia while still holding his hair.
Qu Xingxuan was also to blame for being such a weakling; in the Fat Girl’s hands, he was like a beanpole, rolling straight toward Xuan Xia with one swing.
Fortunately, Li Xinze acted in time, pulling Xuan Xia aside, avoiding the crash into a pile.
But Qu Xingxuan wasn’t so lucky. Without anyone to catch him, he stumbled back several steps and fell flat on his back.
And the Fat Girl… had already run toward the hotel entrance.
“This person is as annoying as Lu Mindan.” Xuan Xia was getting a bit angry too.
“I’m calling the police, assault on a minor.” The fallen Qu Xingxuan shouted, his voice laced with a sob.
Xuan Xia hurried to help him up.
Qu Xingxuan’s eyes were already red, but he held back the tears.
He looked around, didn’t find the person he was looking for, and couldn’t hold back anymore. With a hoarse voice, he accused, “Brother Li, why didn’t you catch her?”
All that good skill wasted?
Xuan Xia comforted him, “Alright, don’t cry. The monk may run, but the temple remains. I know her.”
“I’m not crying!”
“Okay okay okay, I’ll take you to report it. Can you walk?”
“Yes!”
Although his butt hurt terribly from the fall, Qu Xingxuan was very tough and didn’t say anything.
Still, Xuan Xia supported him, helping him toward the hotel while asking, “How come you’re here?”
Qu Xingxuan grimaced in pain, humming and unable to give an answer.
Xuan Xia turned directly to Li Xinze and asked him, “Did Daoist Master Qin mention he was coming?”
Li Xinze said no.
Xuan Xia said, “Looks like our summer hire sneaked out again. Later, contact Daoist Master Qin and send our summer hire back.”
Qu Xingxuan hissed, “What do you mean ‘again’? Daoist Master Qin sent me here!”
“Really? I don’t believe it.” Xuan Xia said.
“It’s true, it’s true.” Qu Xingxuan insisted repeatedly.
Xuan Xia raised her eyebrow slightly and still said to Li Xinze, “Then Brother Li, contact Daoist Master Qin to confirm.”
Li Xinze said okay.
However, thinking of the current time, Xuan Xia changed her words, “Contact him tomorrow morning; it’s late now.”
Li Xinze smiled and nodded, then came over to take over supporting Qu Xingxuan.
“Let me help.”
Xuan Xia was about to let go, but Qu Xingxuan grumbled unhappily, “No Brother Li, you help me.”
Qu Xingxuan thought, Brother Li was so tall and strong; was he supporting him or picking him up like a chicken?
Xuan Xia had no choice but to continue supporting him.
“Since you’re here, why didn’t you contact me first?”
At the mention of this, Qu Xingxuan felt infinitely aggrieved, “I was going to contact you when I got there. Who knew that as soon as I thought to contact you, that person bumped me and my phone got smashed.” Then he had demanded compensation from her, but unexpectedly she started crying first, making it seem like he was bullying her.
After hearing this, Xuan Xia could only say, “What a unlucky kid.”
Qu Xingxuan: “…”
Entering the hotel, Xuan Xia helped him toward the elevator.
She said, “You go to Brother Li’s room first; I’ll go report it for you and come find you later.”
Qu Xingxuan: “Oh.”
The elevator soon reached the first floor, and the three entered, pressing the floor.
Lu Mindan lived on the seventh floor, so Xuan Xia pressed the seventh floor as well.
As the elevator doors closed, the lights inside suddenly flickered, causing the three to look up together.
At that moment, the elevator started, and the floor display slowly changed to “2”.
Qu Xingxuan slowly asked, “Did you feel it?”
“What?”
“Suddenly a bit cold.” Qu Xingxuan continued in a slow voice, “And, this light seems a bit dim.”
Xuan Xia: “…”
While talking, the elevator floor display had jumped from “3” to “4”, soon reaching the floor where Xuan Xia and the others stayed.
But after the number jumped to “5”, the elevator showed no sign of stopping.
Then, “5” rose to “6”.
Qu Xingxuan suddenly grabbed Xuan Xia’s arm.
Li Xinze, standing on Xuan Xia’s other side, frowned, sensing something wrong.
Xuan Xia thought, the elevator is broken.
“6” changed to “7”.
This time, the elevator dinged.
This was the floor arrival prompt.
Following the prompt, the elevator doors slowly opened.
The three in the elevator couldn’t describe their current feelings.
The elevator doors opened, but the scene outside was nothing like the hotel.
Qu Xingxuan gripped Xuan Xia’s arm even tighter.
As Qu Xingxuan gripped harder, Xuan Xia stretched out her other arm and pressed the close door button with her finger.
Hmm. As expected, no response.
