Chapter 1357: Chapter 1352: Xu Qianya’s Regret
"Am I watching a martial arts movie?"
"How can one person be so badass? In the blink of an eye, five bandits are wiped out?"
"A martial arts expert! So there really are martial arts experts in the world!"
People began to discuss in astonishment.
Meanwhile, Li Yuan climbed up, pointed towards the restroom, and pleaded, "Young brother, there’s still one in the restroom."
"Hmm?" Qin Hao furrowed his brow. Xu Qianya was somewhat annoying, and he had thought about teaching her a lesson.
Bam!
The restroom door burst open with a kick.
Inside, the bandit was planning to assault Xu Qianya, never expecting the door to be kicked open suddenly.
Instinctively, he saw Qin Hao outside the door, pulled up his pants, and lunged with a Butterfly Knife: "How dare you court death, kid!"
No sooner had he spoken.
"Ah!"
The bandit let out a scream, his hand pierced through by a Butterfly Knife, falling to the ground and trembling with fear.
"Get up."
Qin Hao kicked the bandit aside and addressed Xu Qianya, who was cowering on the ground, also trembling.
"Don’t do this! Please, don’t do this!" Xu Qianya was hugging her head, in extreme terror.
It was evident that due to her fierce resistance, the bandit had spent quite some time in the restroom.
Xu Qianya had managed to protect herself, but the price paid was significant.
Her cheeks were covered with palm marks, her hair pulled to a mess with strands left on the ground.
The woman who was once proud as a peacock now looked like a wild hen.
She lifted her head dazedly, seeing Qin Hao, and her vacant eyes began to regain focus.
It’s him?
Why is he here?
Looking down, she saw the bandit crying miserably on the ground, blood dripping from his hand, and screamed "Ah," quickly climbing up and pressing against Qin Hao’s body.
At that moment, she realized she had been saved—by Qin Hao.
Xu Qianya put aside her bias against Qin Hao.
The reason was simple; Xu Qianya had feared blood since she was little, hence her instinctive reaction.
Qin Hao said coldly, "Move."
"What are you doing!"
Xu Qianya said, feeling very frustrated.
She was, after all, a delicate beauty.
Was it not acceptable for her to lean on him?
"Move. Now!"
Qin Hao intensified his tone, giving Xu Qianya a look.
With just one look, Xu Qianya felt her heart contract, instinctively letting go of Qin Hao’s hand.
Qin Hao no longer paid Xu Qianya any attention, glanced at the bandit on the ground to confirm he wouldn’t get up, and simply turned to leave the restroom.
He’s leaving?
Just leaving like that?
Xu Qianya’s face ached, but her heart ached more, feeling a sense of grievance.
She wanted to cut open Qin Hao’s body to understand how his heart could be so hard, so indifferent to a delicate girl like her.
But then she remembered how badly she’d treated him before, and her anger dissipated.
"No, I have to leave quickly!"
Xu Qianya decided to leave.
She checked herself in the mirror and washed the blood from her face before stepping out of the restroom.
In the cabin, the five hijackers were already tied up by the passengers with ties and ropes.
Hearing the commotion, everyone turned their gaze to Xu Qianya.
Xu Qianya froze in place and nervously said, "Don’t misunderstand, the bandit didn’t succeed, I was saved..."
Saying this, she instinctively looked towards a certain spot.
There, Qin Hao walked to his seat, wearing headphones, holding a lunchbox, resting with his eyes closed. Everything happening outside seemed unrelated to him, like he was from another world.
"Xu Qianya, are you okay?"
Seeing Li Yuan wave, Xu Qianya hurried over, pretended to sit down, but was actually using her gaze to spy on Qin Hao.
From this angle, the guy looked quite handsome.
Xu Qianya’s feelings were complicated.
Unwilling to admit it, she nevertheless vaguely realized she was attracted to Qin Hao.
"You should thank this young man; if it weren’t for him, you might have been in a terrible situation."
Li Yuan kindly came over to console her.
"I know, Director Li."
Despite her strong self-esteem, Xu Qianya intentionally spoke loudly.
She thought, after all, Qin Hao saved her; lowering her voice once before him wasn’t too bad, just to repay him.
Unfortunately, Qin Hao seemed not to hear anything, likely due to his headphones.
"You!"
Xu Qianya was infuriated. She just wanted an excuse to leave, yet Qin Hao heard nothing—what’s the deal?
In exasperation, Xu Qianya found passengers calling the flight attendant, and under her arrangement, the bandits were placed in a corner, with five passengers dispatched to guard them, while others returned to their seats.
Due to the disturbance, passengers struggled to remain calm.
They began discussing excitedly and the center of their discussions was Qin Hao.
Every once in a while, their eyes would glance at Qin Hao, trying to figure out the mystery of this young man.
Unfortunately, Qin Hao didn’t turn back nor utter a word, like he was a sculpture made of granite, cold and solid.
...
When the plane reached its destination, it was already half-past twelve.
Xu Qianya picked up her suitcase, intending to seize the opportunity to speak with Qin Hao in the corner.
Looking up, she suddenly realized Qin Hao in the corner was gone!
"He would have to pass by me to leave, right? How did he manage that?!"
Xu Qianya’s expression was one of deep puzzlement.
Li Yuan comforted her, "Xu Qianya, let it be. He’s not from our world. Don’t think too much about it."
"Okay." Xu Qianya responded reluctantly, but felt wistful inside.
She suddenly felt that her life had a large regret.
And that was not knowing Qin Hao’s name.
...
Heng Electric isn’t big. The airport is just ten minutes away from the photography studio.
When Qin Hao found the studio described by Zhang Lianyi, he wiped sweat off his forehead and muttered, "It’s already so late, I hope Ripples hasn’t eaten yet. Otherwise, it’ll be awkward if she’s full."
Entering the studio, Qin Hao saw various staff devouring fast food.
Near the backdrop, a cute beauty was sitting on a bench, resting her chin, lost in her thoughts.
The beauty had fair skin, a delicate face, and watery eyes; who else could it be but Zhang Lianyi?
