Chapter 585: This rough guy is cool (41)
Xue Qi was working at a construction site near Sang Tian's school.
Sang Tian would go to the construction site to eat with Xue Qi as soon as get out of class was over.
The men who worked with Xue Qi were so jealous of the girl who came to see him—she was not only beautiful but also a college student—that they couldn't even eat.
Xue Qi knew the character of these people, so whenever Sang Tian came over, he would take her to a place a little further away to eat first.
He handed over all the money he earned to Sang Tian.
Sang Tian wanted to leave him some money, but Xue Qi refused directly: "Wife, the construction site provides free food and lodging, so I don't really need the money."
When Sang Tian was about to return to school that evening, the two of them were reluctant to part at the station.
Xue Qi looked at her pitifully with red eyes.
Just before getting into the car, Sang Tian kissed Xue Qi on the lips, and then leaned in to kiss him again as she looked at him.
"We can still meet tomorrow!"
Xue Qi was reluctant to leave even after the car had disappeared from sight.
As soon as he returned to the construction site, several of his coworkers immediately gathered around him and asked, "Is that woman who comes to see you every day your wife?"
Upon hearing this disrespectful remark, Xue Qi's face instantly darkened.
The coworker, seemingly oblivious to Xue Qi's gaze, continued talking to himself: "Your wife's a college student, right? What if she runs off with another guy after graduation and leaves you? I think you should get pregnant now so she won't be able to leave you..."
Before he could finish speaking, Xue Qi's fist slammed down towards his mouth.
The blows landed hard and drew blood quickly, and the others were also frightened by Xue Qi's fierce appearance.
After Xue Qi finished beating the man, he was lying on the ground, barely alive.
Xue Qi, covered in blood, stood up and looked at the others who were too afraid to even breathe: "Anyone who wants to give me advice, say it now."
No one dared to call the police, fearing it would affect them.
The man was taken to the hospital and the boss paid for it; he was reluctant to fire Xue Qi.
After all, one Xue Qi can do the work of several workers; his work speed is unmatched by ordinary people.
After this incident, Xue Qi's prestige at the construction site rose rapidly.
The man who got beaten up always had a foul mouth and often bullied the elderly workers because he was taller and stronger than them.
Xue Qi also started being called "boss" by his coworkers.
On days when Sang Tian comes, some people will even cover for Xue Qi without paying him.
When she didn't have classes, Sang Tian would come to see Xue Qi; she missed the puppy terribly if she didn't see it for a day.
As soon as she stepped out of the school gate, she saw Xue Qi standing at the entrance.
Xue Qi looked a little different today; his clothes were new and his hair was neatly combed.
He was clearly still a little out of place, and seemed somewhat lost when he stood at the doorway.
When he saw Sang Tian, his face turned red and he quickly walked up to her.
Seeing that Sang Tian was staring at him, he felt a little embarrassed and scratched the back of his head.
"I told them I didn't want to do it, but they insisted on doing it anyway."
Seeing his flushed face, Sang Tian couldn't resist standing on tiptoe and kissing his lips.
Caught off guard, Xue Qi abruptly took a step back and covered his lips.
This was the first time she had kissed him in front of so many people. Although it felt great, he still preferred to kiss his wife secretly.
Xue Qi had only dressed up a little, and his demeanor was completely different from usual.
They had only walked halfway when several people claiming to be film directors approached him and asked for his contact information.
Sang Tian thought for a moment that the entertainment industry wasn't too chaotic back then, and then accepted the business card the director handed her.
