Chapter 6
A few days had passed since Lu Yao's expulsion.
One evening, after going out, Lu Yao received a call from Teacher Liu as he was nearing his building. Hearing that Teacher Liu felt guilty and that all schools in Mountain City had refused to accept him, Lu Yao suspected that Huang Li had caused trouble through his family.
After ending the call with Teacher Liu, Lu Yao looked up and saw Ms. Li standing by the roadside outside the community.
Lu Qi had been sent back to Haishi by Lu Father the previous Sunday night as he still had classes to attend. However, Lu Father and Ms. Li had postponed their work and stayed in Mountain City.
Ms. Li had initially only intended to take a walk to relieve boredom from staying in the hotel but had unknowingly ended up here.
Seeing Lu Yao in the distance, Ms. Li's cold and elegant face softened into a smile.
She didn't notice that two motorcycles were speeding toward her from behind.
Seeing the approaching motorcycles, Lu Yao's expression changed suddenly. Like a leopard, he swiftly ran towards Ms. Li.
Recently, a gang of motorcycle thieves had appeared in Mountain City, targeting pedestrians. These two motorcycle riders seemed to be aiming for the unguarded Ms. Li.
"Bang!"
Lu Yao urgently pulled Ms. Li away from the roadside. However, he was grazed by the passing motorcycles and fell heavily to the ground. His tender elbows were scraped, bleeding and dirty with gravel.
The two motorcycle thieves, having failed to steal Ms. Li's bag, were initially disappointed. They had targeted her thinking she was wealthy, but when they saw the dangerous and cold aura in Lu Yao's deep eyes, they realized he was not someone to mess with. They decided to leave, feeling disheartened.
To Lu Yao, the minor skin abrasions he sustained were insignificant. However, Ms. Li was deeply concerned upon seeing his injuries.
When Lu Yao turned to leave, Ms. Li gently grabbed his uninjured wrist. "Go to the hospital and get your wound treated."
Feeling the warmth and constraint of her grip, Lu Yao was momentarily stunned. He quickly freed his wrist from her grasp. "No need."
After a pause, he looked back at Ms. Li and coldly added, "The safety in Mountain City isn't very good. You should go back."
Ms. Li and Lu Father, being outsiders, were likely targets for the motorcycle thieves.
Despite Lu Yao's reluctance, Ms. Li firmly held onto his wrist with a soft yet determined voice. "Please, go see a doctor."
Seeing the almost tearful look on Ms. Li's face, Lu Yao's resolve softened. Reluctantly, he averted his gaze and said, "Fine."
Relieved that Lu Yao agreed to go to the hospital, Ms. Li's previously furrowed brows relaxed.
At the hospital, orthopedic office.
After examining Lu Yao, the doctor confirmed that the injuries were only superficial and did not involve any fractures or internal damage. Ms. Li quietly sighed in relief.
Because the wound had small stones and debris, the doctor needed to clean it with saline and disinfectant.
Observing Lu Yao's impassive expression during the cleaning, the doctor remarked with a smile, "Your child has a high tolerance for pain; he's quite resilient."
Ms. Li smiled and replied, "Doctor, he can endure pain, but that doesn't mean it doesn't hurt. Please be gentle."
The doctor nodded understandingly. "Sure, I know parents are always concerned for their children."
