Chapter 1640 Lifesaver

Chapter 1739 Lifesaver

"Little Duan! Be careful when you climb the ladder. We are old and afraid of heights. Otherwise, we wouldn't let you do it all." Sister Huang said polite words, but in fact, they were still squeezing the young Duan Shuxian to work.

However, Duan Shuxian was not a calculative person. She worked hard and never shirked anything she should do. Although this job looked idle, the various doors and windows in it still tested people's patience, willpower, and carefulness.

"No problem, I'll do it!" Duan Shuxian didn't dislike it, because she loved this job, and she also took care of these two older staff members.

Duan Shuxian's morning work was spent in arranging and classifying books.

At the school's reporting office, all procedures had been completed. Xi Jingchen successfully joined the ranks of professors in the history department of University A. After completing the formalities, he walked into his exclusive private office. This office with panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows and excellent views made him very satisfied.

His identity is probably only known by the principal, because he happens to be a relative of the Xi family, he will strictly keep his identity secret and take care of him during his tenure.

"Jingchen, are you satisfied with this office?" The tone of the principal in his early fifties also reveals respect for him.

"Uncle Liu, don't be like this, I'm just a teacher here now, you don't have to take too much care of me." Xi Jingchen smiled, not needing him to deliberately respect him.

"Okay, I will, I will treat you equally in the future. You can work here and prepare lessons these days, or you can walk around. The scenery of our school is unique!"

"Well! I was planning to go out for a walk." When Xi Jingchen came just now, he saw the direction of the library. He now wants to go there to find a few books to kill time. "Okay, you are busy!" After the principal finished speaking, he went out.

Xi Jingchen put his briefcase in the cabinet and walked out of the office. He strolled leisurely in the spring campus. The female students passing by stopped to look at him, their eyes full of surprise and amazement. However, Xi Jingchen just smiled indifferently, and his smile was a little gentle.

The female students, who were already unable to move, wanted to chase him and admire his demeanor all the way. Behind him, there were indeed a few bold girls following him secretly.

But the protectors scattered around could not relax for a moment and stared at the eye-catching young master of the Xi family.

When Xi Jingchen arrived at the door of the library, he looked up at the inscription on it. It was still his father's handwriting, vigorous and powerful, magnificent and domineering.

When Xi Jingchen stepped in, he saw that the bodyguards who followed him were also planning to come in. He immediately waved his hand and did not allow them to follow in and disturb the students reading.

The bodyguards had to nod secretly and said they would wait at the door.

The library was really quiet in the morning. There were only a dozen students flipping through books and concentrating on reading on the desks next to them, which were full of the fragrance of books.

Xi Jingchen's eyes swept over the clean and tidy environment, as well as the comfortable and beautiful bookshelves. The cabinets in the front were all bookshelves about 1.8 meters high. However, there was a row of high bookshelves in the back, which were filled with books with relatively low circulation. The bookshelves here were full of works by almost all the celebrities in the world, and naturally there were some unpopular books that no one visited.

The higher the bookshelves were, the less students were seen, and it seemed quieter. Xi Jingchen casually took out a book, flipped through it for a few times, and put it back. He was also looking for a book that interested him.

Next to him, under the cover of a row of bookshelves, there was a girl climbing a long ladder to organize the bookshelves. Duan Shuxian held two books in one hand and was struggling to stuff the books with the other hand. Standing on the fifth ladder, she was not very strong, so she had to push the books into the already crowded bookshelves with great effort.

When she pushed hard at the last moment, suddenly, a force from her palm made her body lose balance instantly...

"Ah..." She was so shocked that her eyes widened, her body swayed on the ladder, and she felt that she was going to fall and her buttocks were broken.

The man who was looking for books on the bookshelf next to her heard the panicked cry behind the bookshelf. He immediately walked around and saw the girl on the ladder who was staggering, holding the book in one hand and refusing to let it go, and the other hand was helplessly grabbing. After shaking a few times, she screamed and fell to the ground.

However, when Duan Shuxian saw the man who appeared behind her like a ghost, she exclaimed, "Ah... Go away."

She didn't want to be implicated.

Xi Jingchen watched her fall from a high place, and he would not walk away out of instinct. He opened his arms to welcome her.

In just a few seconds, Duan Shuxian was like a free fall, unable to stop the slightest bit of strength, and hit him hard. The impact was too great, and Xi Jingchen hugged her body and took two steps back. Then, he was also pushed down by the impact, lying on his back.

A danger was averted.

The man was lying on the ground, and a girl was lying on him, unharmed.

Except that her face hit his strong chest hard, causing her beautiful nose to hurt, she was not hurt at all.

On the contrary, the man who became her meat cushion was more miserable. His back was straight and hit the ground, and one of his wrists was thrown on the sharp corner of the bookshelf, obviously injured.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, are you okay? Are you hurt?" Duan Shuxian quickly got off him, squatted down and went to help him.

"It's okay!" Xi Jingchen's head was still hit, and at the same time, his wrist had just hit the corner of the bookshelf, and there was a sharp pain, and there was a bloody wound there.

The sharp-eyed Duan Shuxian immediately noticed it, and she reached out and held his left hand, "Oh my God! You are injured and bleeding."

The man was slightly startled, and he looked at his hand, not at his wound, but at the pair of slender and white women's hands holding his wrist. Probably from childhood to adulthood, except for his mother, sister and relatives, his hands have never been touched by other women.

"Let's go to the infirmary to bandage it!" Duan Shuxian also remembered that he had hit the back of his head just now, and there was a thump.

Her hand immediately touched the back of his head, reaching into his thick black hair, looking for the bump that was hit. She didn't notice that her action made the man's pupils shrink slightly.

The woman's soft fingertips groped on the back of his head, with a hint of wonderful touch.

"Do you have a headache? It must be swollen." Duan Shuxian was so focused on caring for her lifesaver that she never thought about whether such an action was beyond her status.

It was not until she was met with a pair of deep and gloomy eyes that her head exploded. Her frightened face turned slightly red under the gaze of these eyes.

It was at this time that she noticed that this man was really good-looking, simply... a peerless beauty, just like the kind of fairy-like appearance described in the book!

Xi Jingchen propped himself up and stood up, and Duan Shuxian realized that he was so tall, she was only up to his neck! She was 1.65 meters tall!

"Well, thank you so much just now, I'll take you to the medical office to treat your wound!"

"No need, I can go by myself." Xi Jingchen said, frowned, and told her, "Be careful next time."

If he wasn't there, how hard would she fall?

"I'd better accompany you to the infirmary! I'm familiar with that place." Duan Shuxian felt bad.

"No need." Xi Jingchen was not being polite, but this little injury was nothing to him, and there was no need to make such a fuss.

"I'm the administrator here, what do you do?" Duan Shuxian asked curiously.

"Teacher."

"Are you a new teacher?" Duan Shuxian exclaimed, so young!

Xi Jingchen originally wanted to find a book, but he also had to treat the bloody wound on his wrist, so it seemed that he had to go to the infirmary.

"I'll go treat the wound first." After saying that, Xi Jingchen glanced at her and walked towards the door.

Duan Shuxian watched him with self-blame, and felt guilty that she had hurt him. In fact, she had been mentally prepared for the fall just now.

The worst that could happen was that she would get hurt! But now she was fine, but she hurt a handsome guy instead.

Duan Shuxian picked up the books on the ground, fortunately they were not broken, it seemed that she still had to be careful.
