Rebirth from the Ashes

Chapter 295: Heaven

Shen Xi was happy with her work and the handwriting was pretty neat too. The question remained whether Li Yuan would like it or not.

She was inclined to send him a photo to ask if it looked good yet she wanted it to be a surprise for him to discover on his own. After a brief conflict, Shen Xi decided against sending a photo.

“Let’s go,” Shen Xi turned to smile at Fu Qingxuan.

Fu Qingxian scoffed, feeling upset about this neighbor of hers but did not bring up the question in the end. She had turned her eyes away by then.

He followed her gaze to a handsome young man helping an adorable-looking girl as the pair headed their way. The girl was limping.

Shen Xi made her way towards them. The pair were Song Wenye and Yu Yuanxi. Looking amused, Shen Xi waved her arm at them.

“Xixi… I twisted my ankle,” Song Wenye wailed dramatically in pain.

Shen Xi, “…”

Fu Qingxuan was standing behind Shen Xi.

Song Wenye wondered why she was nervous to be helped by Yu Yuanxi, so much so she only saw Shen Xi and overlooked the pretty boy. Once closer, she widened her eyes and stared directly at the young man.

‘Holy sh*t!’

‘What a looker!’

‘A hot hunk, indeed!’

Yu Yuanxi had long noticed the young man behind Shen Xi.

The tall, graceful, and handsome guy had one foot in the shadows, adding an air of mystery to him.

Shen Xi knew Song Wenye would be knocked senseless by good-looking people.

Song Wenye was one to kick down the ladder. She pushed Yu Yuanxi away and grabbed Shen Xi by the arm. Her eyes were sparkling, but she needed to act coy before the hunk. Song Wenye whispered, “Xixi, well done. A trip to Vienna and you come home with a hottie in hand. How did you trick him? I’ve got to give it to you.”

‘Aahhh!’

Why was she never blessed with such luck? If only Song Wenye could run into this kind of hunk and kidnap him home.

“He tagged along,” Shen Xi warned her. Song Wenye was talking as though Shen Xi was some kind of trafficker.

Fu Qingxuan and Yu Yuanxi had got the ball rolling before Shen Xi introduced them. Shen Xi was taken aback since Yu Yuanxi was an introvert and rarely prompted a greeting. Both guys must have great first impressions of each other.

“Hey, Handsome. My… My… My name is Song Wenye, a close friend of Xixi. You can call me Lil’ Ye,” Song Wenye reached out an arm excitedly while looking at the hunk expectantly.

Fu Qingxuan did not extend his arm for a handshake. Instead, he let out a gentlemanly smile, “Hello, I’m Fu Qingxuan.”

Like a silly goose, Song Wenye dwelled on it for a while. She fiddled with her fingers and mumbled, “Fu Qingxuan, Fu Qingye. How are you related to Qingye?”

It never occurred to Fu Qingxuan that she would know Qingye. He replied with a smile, “He’s my second elder brother.”

Song Wenye’s mind went blank. Turning to Shen Xi, she spoke without a filter. “Having your way with the brothers, I see?”

Shen Xi smacked the back of Song Wenye’s head. “What are you talking about? Fu Qingye is my older brother and he’s my younger brother.”

Fu Qingxuan did not take that statement too kindly. However, since he could not be mean to her in public, Fu Qingxuan corrected her, “I’m her older brother.”

Song Wenye finally found a glimpse of lucidity, barely capable of removing her fiery gaze from Fu Qingxuan. She definitely had a funny way of thinking. Song Wenye was jealous. “Xixi, what about the eldest brother in the Fu family? Have you met him?”

‘Jesus. Now that was heaven.’

She would have more of an appetite to eat if such hunks were hanging around her every day.

Shen Xi shook her head, “No.”

She met Fu Qingxuan merely by coincidence.

Qingye mentioned that Fu Qingxuan had only intended to stay at the estate for a day because of an academic lecture in Vienna. He was going to fly back to his lab the next day but later stayed behind to finish an old medical book he had supposedly found.

The presence of a hottie made Song Wenye forget about the pain in her leg. Hunks were a form of anesthesia, pain killer, and her lifeline.

Since they were heading in, Yu Yuanxi retorted in a soft voice, “Xixi, I’ll leave Song Wenye to you. I should get going.”

Before Shen Xi had a chance to say anything, Song Wenye chimed in. “Hey now. Since you’re already here, why don’t you come in for a bit? You have not met with Mr. Shen. Come and say hello!”

Shen Xi nodded, “Come in and have a seat. My mom made you some clothes. I don’t have to deliver them to you since you’re here.” She initially planned to hand the clothes to Lil’ Ye so that the latter could make the delivery to Yu Yuanxi. They were clothes for the New Year, and it would be too late to give them to him after the celebration.

Yu Yuanxi nodded and went into the house.

Song Wenye twisted her ankle in front of the coffee shop Yu Yuanxi was working at. They then went to a nearby medical center to have it checked before heading over to Shen Xi’s place.

Uncomfortable leaving Song Wenye on her own, Yu Yuanxi escorted her here.

It was Shen Zhangqing’s first time meeting Yu Yuanxi. The young man was handsome and tall with beautiful eyes. Shen Zhangqing was drawn to Yu Yuanxi’s mild and polite manners.

He had seen a photograph of this child. Yu Yuanxi was tall, handsome, and a classmate of Xixi’s. Also, an artist under their company, the boy was going to join the filming set after the New Year. Shen Zhangqing reckoned that Yu Yuanxi was bound to be a popular movie star.

His wife mentioned that she got a friendly vibe from him. Shen Zhangqing thought the same.

“Thank you, Mrs. Shen is very thoughtful,” Yu Yuanxi smiled warmly.

Mr. and Mrs. Shen were both kind and friendly.

Hearing that Fu Qingxuan was a doctor, Song Wenye’s eyes lit up. She cleared her throat, having made a bold decision, as she turned to him and said in a soft voice, “Dr. Fu, I hurt my ankle. Can you help me take a look?”

Gazing at the adorable girl, Fu Qingxuan nodded and got down on one knee. His lean fingers clutched onto her ankle.

Song Wenye suddenly had butterflies. Withdrawing her foot, she stumbled on her words, “I was only joking. My ankle is all better.”

Shen Xi pinched her and gave a look of disdain. What a perverted wimp.

Song Wenye murmured into her ear. “What do you know? Pretty boys are to look at, not to defile. I was only admiring the view.”

She only had the guts to fantasize about hotties touching her feet. However, it was a different story in reality!

Yu Yuanxi’s gaze fell on Song Wenye for a moment. His eyes softened to see her acting tough and averting her gaze.

After getting to know Song Wenye, he realized that she enjoyed having the last word but when it came down to it, she could not walk the talk. She often blurted the most ruthless words, but it was all talk.

Shen Xi brought the new clothes Yun Jinping prepared and gave them to Yu Yuanxi. “These are for you and Granny Yu.”

Yu Yuanxi was feeling all the warm tingles inside and felt slightly embarrassed. “Please give my thanks to Mrs. Shen.”

He was at the receiving end of their warmth and help. When would he be able to repay them?
