Chapter 226: Don’t Touch Him
The moment the hotel’s fire alarm went off, Gu Xinyan was truly terrified, thinking she might be doomed to perish in the flames.
In that instant, countless people’s images flashed through her mind, and strangely, the first person she thought of was not her sister, nor Liu Yuxing, but Xu Xiangbei.
Just when she thought she was about to fall down the stairs, Xu Xiangbei suddenly appeared in front of her, giving her the impression of a holy angel, his entire being glowing with golden holy light, descending slowly from the sky, providing her with immense security.
Gu Xinyan began her daily exercises, hating that she still couldn’t walk. As long as she could walk like a normal person, she wouldn’t have to worry her sister and Xu Xiangbei.
Although she could only take a few steps, compared to before, it was already a big improvement. A month ago, even standing for a long time would have caused her legs to cramp.
She gritted her teeth, enduring the pain, stood up from her wheelchair, and waved her small fists. The first move of the Dragon Tiger Divine Fist — after practicing for half an hour, she was soaked as if drenched in water.
At this moment, the room door sounded, thinking it was Xu Xiangbei bothering her again, Gu Xinyan wiped her sweat and said, "Stay away, I don’t want to talk to you today."
Outside the door came Ouyang Jiahui’s voice: "Sister, it’s me, I need to come in and get a few changes of clothes."
Ouyang Jiahui came, Gu Xinyan’s face slightly blushed as she opened the door. Xu Xiangbei was making funny faces behind Ouyang Jiahui, and she couldn’t help but laugh.
Seeing Gu Xinyan’s radiant smile, Xu Xiangbei knew she was no longer angry about him invading her privacy.
Ouyang Jiahui changed into a fitted sports vest, black sports shorts, outlining her perfect figure. She did a few waist-bending exercises and seemed to be going to work out.
Xu Xiangbei curiously moved closer, grinning roguishly and said, "Little niece, where are you going?"
Ouyang Jiahui laughed and said, "Going to the gym, there’s a gym by the neighborhood. I work out there for an hour every day at 5 PM."
So, it was to work out. Xu Xiangbei wasn’t very interested, but Gu Xinyan showed a look of envy. She thought secretly, when she could walk freely, she too would go to the gym like Ouyang Jiahui, dressed more vibrant and sexy than her, and become the most striking view in the gym.
Outside came Xiao Lin’s voice: "Ouyang, are you ready? Let’s go together."
Hearing Xiao Lin’s voice, Xu Xiangbei perked up like a cat smelling fish, and immediately stretched his neck from the sofa, saying to Ouyang Jiahui, "I’ve been indoors for too long, I want to go out and exercise too. Can I go with you?"
Ouyang Jiahui gave Xu Xiangbei a disdainful look, seeing through his thoughts: "Do you want to go with me, or with Xiao Lin? Speak the truth."
Xu Xiangbei gave a wry smile, these women were sharper than the next, saying whatever was on their mind without fear. He straightened his chest and said, "I want to go with both of you."
"Seeing you so honest, come with us."
"Can I get in, should I recharge a membership?"
"No need, their gym business is doing great now, all thanks to my recommendation in the magazine. I can bring a group in, and the boss would still welcome me."
Xu Xiangbei remembered something and reminded Gu Xinyan: "I’m going out to exercise, don’t run around again. If you do, I’ll send you back to Jiangcheng directly."
Gu Xinyan nodded obediently like a well-behaved child: "Okay, Brother Xu, sorry for worrying you at noon, rest assured, I won’t wander."
Xiao Lin wore a yellow and black contrast sports vest, her chest curve surged, outlining a graceful figure. Xu Xiangbei couldn’t help but recall the scene in the bathroom in the afternoon, her body fully drenched, enticing and provocative.
Seeing Xu Xiangbei staring at her with drooling eyes, Xiao Lin forcibly held back her laughter, patted his shoulder: "What are you looking at? Does it look good?"
Xu Xiangbei chuckled, randomly saying: "I think this sports vest looks really good, I want to buy one too, don’t know where to find it?"
The gym by the neighborhood was packed, as soon as Ouyang Jiahui and Xiao Lin entered, they immediately attracted all the men’s attention in the gym, drawing heated glances.
"We’re going to practice spinning bikes, you play around."
The two beauties went to the spinning bikes hall, where intense hip-hop music was playing. The bike instructor was a graceful middle-aged lady, though the crow’s feet at the corners of her eyes showed her age, her slim figure and fair, full skin were still no different from a young girl’s.
Xu Xiangbei pretended to exercise with a resistance band, pulling it a few times, but his gaze was entirely on Xiao Lin riding the spinning bike, occasionally waving to her.
In the gym equipment area, seven or eight strong men gathered, some cheering loudly, some whistling, creating a lively scene. Xu Xiangbei also got drawn over, peering curiously.
In the center of the circle formed by the strong men, a shirtless, muscular, short youth was rapidly doing push-ups, his movements like flowing clouds and water, seamlessly continuous, earning silent admiration.
His muscles, though not extremely developed, were beautiful and strong, contracting and expanding with his body’s movement.
"Five hundred thirty, five hundred thirty-one..."
"As long as he does six hundred, I’ll buy dinner tonight."
"David can definitely do it."
The few chattering youths, who seemed to be his companions, counted for him enthusiastically.
Xu Xiangbei smiled, this youngster is really something, managing over five hundred push-ups in one go, something he certainly couldn’t do.
Suddenly, the youth doing push-ups frowned, curled up like a big shrimp, his muscles twitched violently, collapsing stiffly on the ground, clutching his stomach and crying out in pain, his face pale as gold, forehead sweating profusely.
"Oh no, David is injured."
"Doctor, where’s the doctor?"
The gym usually had a health doctor on standby for mishaps during workouts, but today the doctor wasn’t on duty, not present on the scene.
Xu Xiangbei quickly went over to the youth named David, gently pressing his fingers on his wrist, finding his pulse erratic. This guy overexerted himself, rupturing muscle fibers, causing kidney failure.
If untreated promptly, his life would be in danger.
"Get him to a hospital."
"Don’t move him, let me take a look."
Xu Xiangbei formed his fingers into a needle-like shape, a barely visible inner strength surged to his fingertip, touching David’s lower waist lightly.
David, who was almost fainting from the pain, felt greatly relieved from Xu Xiangbei’s miraculous touch, his face much more relaxed.
David improved significantly, seeing Xu Xiangbei was a young man like himself, asked puzzled: "Thank you for saving me, are you a doctor?"
