Chapter 863: I’m Outstanding and Pretty. Am I Not Good Enough to Be Fancied by a Scientist?

“Huo Lizhi, what are you doing?”
A shout cried out.
Feng Jichuan rushed over angrily and helped Nian Xi to her feet. “I can take you on if you’re looking for a fight. What kind of man are you to bully a woman?”
Fear appeared in Huo Lizhi’s eyes.
He knew how strong Feng Jichuan was. He was a soldier from the special forces who spent most of his years overseas, carrying out dangerous classified missions. He could probably beat even the best fighter in the entire station.
“She was the one who wanted to fight. It’s a fair fight between the two of us.” Huo Lizhi looked at Nian Xi. “Tell him. Tell him what you swore? Are you going to deny it now that you’ve lost? Are you going to ask someone else to fight me? It’s ok. I know you have a special relationship with Feng Jichuan.”
“When did I lose?” Nian Xi chuckled as she freed herself from Feng Jichuan’s grasp.
Huo Lizhi frowned. “You’re going to be a punk about it?”
“Lizhi, she’s right, she hasn’t lost.” Zhan Hong walked over and said expressionlessly, “She won at shooting, and now you’ve won at head-to-head combat. You two are even. Besides, how you hit her just now, she defended herself with her arms. Naturally, you are stronger than her since you are a man. That’s the only reason why she fell to the floor. If we graded her fighting technique, I think it would be a close match.”
He turned and gave Nian Xi a thumbs up. “To be honest with you, I might have underestimated your capabilities at the beginning. I hereby apologize to you.”
“It’s okay.” Nian Xi looked at Huo Lizhi. “I told you, you are older than me. You have ten more years of experience than I do. I was never planning on beating you. I just wanted to prove to myself. Too bad you only managed to get even with me after giving it your all.”
“You…” Huo Lizhi’s face was green now, he took a step forward.
Zhan Hong quickly stepped before him and looked at him sternly. “She is right. This was supposed to be a friendly match between colleagues, but you were vicious when you attacked her. If she didn’t shield herself, she would have been seriously injured. She is our colleague who is going to Paris with us. I’m really disappointed in you. If not for the fact that we have a shortage of manpower, I would have asked for you to be transferred away immediately. You don’t have a shred of team spirit.”
“Zhan Hong…” Huo Lizhi shouted with widened eyes.
“You were trying to beat a woman. There’s nothing to be proud of. You should go back and adjust your mindset.” Zhan Hong turned and left.
Nian Xi walked away as well.
Her entire body ached as she slammed into the hard, wooden floor earlier on.
“Nian Xi…” Feng Jichuan chased after her. “Are you ok? Do you want me to bring you to the med bay?”
“I’m fine. I’m used to this since I was at the police academy. I have calluses and scrapes everywhere now,” Nian Xi said as she walked on.
“Nian Xi, Jiang Yuning…” Feng Jichuan sounded hesitant. “I heard that you two already knew each other before this. Does he fancy you?”
“So what if he did?” Nian Xi blurted out. “I’m outstanding and pretty. Am I not good enough to be fancied by a scientist?”
Feng Jichuan was stunned. “I don’t mean it like that. I just think… you should be careful when you go to Paris. You should keep a distance from him. Truthfully, I’m worried that he might take advantage of you when you follow him around.”
“So what if he takes advantage of me? If he likes me and pursues me, it’s natural for me to allow it to happen. It’s better than not knowing what it’s like to have sex after being with you for so long,” Nian Xi said without feeling embarrassed.
