Chapter 1207: Chapter 1207: Uncle Xiaobao, You’re Amazing
Pei Yuanchen withdrew his gaze with a slight smile, then suddenly, his pupils contracted sharply.
A bus suddenly appeared at the corner ahead, moving at an unusually high speed. His face darkened, and he jerked the steering wheel to barely avoid it!
The car made a sharp turn, about to crash into the roadside greenery, and Pei Yuanchen slammed on the brakes.
With a screech of intense friction, the car finally stopped, both of them involuntarily lurching forward, the seat belts playing a crucial role at that moment.
He Ziyi, still shaken, murmured, "That scared me to death... Why was that bus going so fast just now?"
Pei Yuanchen, with a face as calm as water, held her hand and asked softly, "Are you okay?"
Ziyi shook her head, "I’m fine."
The man’s expression slightly softened, looking at the distance where the bus had already driven away and its speed had returned to normal.
It seemed like those moments of speeding were just his illusion.
Pei Yuanchen’s eyes grew even more inscrutable.
"Uncle Xiaobao..." Ziyi bit her lip, "Did I distract you by talking?"
The man restarted the car, smiling faintly, "No. Clearly, that vehicle was in the wrong first."
"Mm, mm." Ziyi nodded earnestly, fully agreeing.
Ziyi didn’t dwell on the incident, but Pei Yuanchen was left with a shadow in his heart.
"Ziyi, let’s go back to eat," he suddenly suggested.
Ziyi was taken aback, "Why?"
"Don’t you like what I cook?" he raised an eyebrow.
"Of course not," Ziyi stuck out her tongue, thought for a moment, and nodded, "Let’s go home and eat then."
The recent scene was indeed a bit frightening.
Pei Yuanchen squeezed her hand gently, then turned the car around.
On the way back, his nerves were highly tense.
Fortunately, nothing unexpected happened afterward.
The next day, Pei Yuanchen took her to school, as usual parking the car under the teaching building.
He got out first, walking to the other side to open the door for her.
Ziyi was a bit surprised, stepping out of the car cheerfully, "Uncle Xiaobao, you’re finally willing to accompany me to class?"
Pei Yuanchen glanced at her, took her backpack from her hand, and holding her hand, led her upstairs.
Students were flocking into the teaching building, when suddenly, someone in the crowd screamed.
The next second, Pei Yuanchen saw a boy rushing towards them holding a knife, its blade reflecting a chilling light in his eyes.
"Ah—"
Screams erupted, but the boy’s speed increased. Seeing that a certain girl couldn’t dodge in time and was about to be stabbed, Pei Yuanchen stepped forward, grabbing the boy’s wrist with one hand, and striking his abdomen fiercely with the other.
The knife in the boy’s hand clattered to the ground, and Pei Yuanchen quickly threw him to the ground, leaving the boy wailing in pain.
In just a few seconds, and many people didn’t even know what happened, the crisis had been averted.
However, Pei Yuanchen paid no heed to the admiring gazes from the students, instead turning around to walk towards He Ziyi, pulling her into his arms tightly.
His body was trembling slightly, muscles taut.
"Uncle Xiaobao, you’re amazing!" Ziyi murmured.
Pei Yuanchen tugged at the corner of his lips, his cold lips landing on her forehead.
Previously, every time he brought her to school, he wouldn’t accompany her to the classroom. But today, on a whim, he decided to walk her to class.
