Rebirth from the Ashes

Xia Ze had never been so humiliated and felt that they were stomping on his face. His pent-up anger from being humiliated by Shen Feng was unleashed on the bar singer as he rushed over to get his revenge.

‘Ha! Now that Shen Feng has money, he made a spectacle of me in front of my classmates. That was already embarrassing enough. Now, even a measly bar singer dares to go against me?!’

He Lu quickly chased after Xia Ze. Although she was also vexed, she still stopped him. “Ze, I don’t need to listen to the song since the singer doesn’t want to sing it…”

Their classmates looked at each other. Xia Ze was good-looking, smart, and came from a wealthy family. He was born to be superior to others, so he had always been proud and arrogant. He was totally offended by the bar singer.

They were all having a good time and were afraid that Xia Ze would make a scene. Several boys who had a good relationship with Xia Ze went after him.

Shen Feng looked at Shen Xi and winked at her. “Shall we go and check it out?”

Shen Xi was about to say that she was not interested, but when she glanced at the stage and saw the singer, she smiled intriguingly, put down her drink, and put away her phone. She got up elegantly and said, “Sure.”

After putting in so much effort to find this singer, the person she was looking for appeared right in front of her.

Shen Feng saw her excitement and stared at the handsome man on the stage. He then asked her, “What, you have a crush on him?”

The bar singer was quite handsome.

Shen Xi smiled and did not say anything. She just glanced at the young man on the stage. He was wearing a white woolen shirt and a black trenchcoat. His hair was a little messy and his facial features were delicate. He looked introverted with a good temper.

Xia Ze drank a lot earlier, so when the alcohol got to his head, he could no longer control his emotions. He glared at the man who just got off the stage and yelled, “What? Did I not pay you enough?”

Qi Xiu looked at the drunken person in front of him and brushed past him while carrying his guitar. His voice was clear, magnetic, cool, and arrogant as he said, “I’m off work, so get someone else to sing for you.”

Xia Ze was infuriated. This was the first time he encountered such a rude person. This guy was a bar singer, so why was he so audacious? Xia Ze stopped him. “I want you to sing. You must sing even if you don’t want to.”

Qi Xiu’s eyebrows knitted slightly as he looked at the person in front of him. He said coldly, “I said, I’m not singing.”

“Is it about the money? I have loads of it!” Xia Ze sneered. In a moment of anger, he took out a stack of cash from his wallet and asked the singer, “Is this enough for you?!”

Qi Xiu was calm and not the slightest bit mad at Xia Ze’s attitude. His cold, heavenly voice rang out again. “Please get out of my way.”

“Are you looking down on me? Or do you think the money is not enough?” Xia Ze was exasperated and felt his head burning with anger. He slapped the money on the singer’s face and said, “You’re just a singer. If you don’t sing for me today, I can ruin your career in A City!”

“I don’t know you,” Qi Xiu looked at him strangely. “But you look like a clown when you’re mad.”

“What did you say?!” Xia Ze growled. He was annoyed, so he snatched away the singer’s guitar and forcefully smashed it on the ground. He sneered and shouted, “Sing, now!”

The calmness in Qi Xiu’s eyes finally began to crack a little. There was a dangerous chill that was slowly seeping through.

Shen Feng looked at Xia Ze with contempt. ‘F*ck! He finally reveals his true colors… How sickening…’

Xia Ze made a big scene, so the patrons in the bar gathered around them. The bar singer went to pick up his guitar, but Xia Ze viciously stomped on it.

“F*ck!” Shen Feng cursed and turned to look at Shen Xi, but she disappeared in an instant.

In the next moment, Shen Xi appeared in between Qi Xiu and Xia Ze.

Qi Xiu was stunned for a moment and looked at the young girl in front of him. The dangerous chill in his eyes froze and turned into doubt.

The girl was beautiful. From his angle, he could see her slightly lowered eyes. Her features were delicate and her long eyelashes cast a faint shadow on her eye bags.

She crouched on the ground and protected the strings of his guitar with her long, slender fingers.

For a moment, Qi Xiu’s heartstrings seemed to tremble, just like the strings that vibrated under her hands.

Shen Xi had wanted to stop Xia Ze from trampling on the singer’s beloved guitar, but when she got there, it was too late, so she instinctively chose to protect the guitar strings.

Xia Ze did not expect Shen Feng’s girlfriend to suddenly intervene. He lifted his foot and had a moment of hesitation. After all, she was a beautiful girl.

However, after thinking about what Shen Feng had done to him, he had a wicked glint in his eyes and viciously stepped on her hands.

Shen Xi’s eyes were cold and stern. She clasped the guitar and was going to save it before she beat up the son of a b*tch in front of her.

Before she could move, a long and slender arm swept past her and clasped Xia Ze’s ankle.

In the next moment, there was a crunching sound of dislocated bones amidst the noise.

It was followed by Xia Ze’s agonizing scream, who glared viciously at the person behind Shen Xi and fell to the ground with a heavy thud.

When Shen Feng saw that Xia Ze was about to step on Shen Xi, he tried to stop him, but could only watch with embarrassment and disbelief as the bar singer fractured Xia Ze’s foot.

‘F*ck! This guy is so cool! Then why did he just look like he was bullied?’

The onlookers were shocked too and had a changed expression as they watched the scene unfold in front of them.

He Lu screamed and went to look at Xia Ze. She then shouted to her classmates behind her, “Call the police, quickly! This is an assault!”

Qi Xiu looked at the man who had fallen to the ground with calm eyes. He slowly and methodically took out a wet wipe to wipe his fingers clean, as if he had just touched something gross.

He then squatted in front of Shen Xi, took out another wet wipe, and wanted to wipe her fair and slender fingers.

“I’ll do it myself,” Shen Xi took over the wet wipe from him and wiped her own fingers. She then asked him for another one and carefully wiped his guitar before handing it to him. She smiled and said, “There, it’s clean now.”

Qi Xiu narrowed his eyes and looked at her calmly. His thin lips parted as he asked, “What do you want?”

Shen Xi smiled and raised her eyebrows. She then pointed at him and answered, “You.”

He was a smart person, so he easily understood her.

Shen Xi finally got an inkling of Qi Xiu’s strange temper.
