Rebirth Counterattack: I Heard That the Imperial Marshal Has a Crush on Me

Chu Muxi, who was being pushed out, suddenly felt a severe pain in his palm. “Ah——”

The remaining two people were stunned, and then Cen Xue exclaimed, “Oh my God! Muxi, your hand is hurt. The door clamp is here! Grandpa Barlow, please let go of his hand, my God!”

Barlow let go hurriedly, and Chu Muxi’s palms immediately swelled up. He endured the excruciating pain and did not forget to comfort Barlow. “No, it’s okay. I was just pinched. I guess, I didn’t get hurt – um!”

Cen Xue’s heart clenched, “Stop talking, I’ll take you to the hospital right away. If you hurt your bones, you’ll be in trouble.”

Chu Muxi was still comforting Cen Xue. Barlow took a long puff of a cigarette and said in a low voice: “Forget it, come here and let me see your hand.”

As a mecha master, the most important thing for him was to protect his own hands, so he knew the best about hand’s remedies, no less than a professional doctor.

Cen Xue supported Chu Muxi, who was sweating in pain but still holding back from screaming. “Does it hurt? Why don’t you just go to the hospital? You have to let the doctor take a look.”

“Stop talking nonsense, are you looking down on me, the old man?” Barlow found a medical kit from somewhere and banged it on the table in front of the two of them.

Chu Muxi sat down, enduring the pain, while looking around, and finally saw a small box in the corner. The box had very complicated patterns on it with the same very complicated unlocking mechanism.

The pattern on the box, he squinted, was the old man’s personal and unique logo. But this logo was revealed later on and everyone would know that a mecha was made by the old man by this logo.

“Boy, you’re quite tolerant,” Barlow said carelessly, as if he didn’t care about the other party’s hand at all. He snatched it from Cen Xue’s hand, held it in his own hand, and squeezed it deliberately.

Chu Muxi gritted his teeth and smiled. “If I shout here…it will definitely…alert others…well…this, isn’t it…violative in response to your…want to be purely…unknown!”

After hearing his last words, Barlow subconsciously grabbed his hand heavily and stared into his eyes. Questioning: “Who sent you?”

Cen Xue exclaimed: “Grandpa Barlow, please be gentle! He -” She didn’t seem to realize the tension between the two people opposite, but she was just thinking about Chu Muxi.

‘It hurts so much, but why does Grandpa Barlow still feel so indifferent?’

Chu Muxi smiled and said calmly: “Isn’t your dessert shop opened here just for the sake of cleanliness?”

What he said was impeccable. Barlow stared at his eyes for a long time and found that the other party did not show a slight dodge. He snorted and took out a bottle of medicine and put it on him.

As soon as the medicine was applied to the palm of his hand, Chu Muxi felt a chill and comfort. This medicine seemed to be very effective.

His nose twitched a bit, and I could still smell a faint aroma. It was an artificially made special medicine!

“You have a very good nose.” Barlow knew he had guessed it when he saw his expression. After a short time, he discovered that this boy was indeed very smart, adaptable and neither arrogant nor arrogant.

But when he thought that such a good boy was the grandson of that guy, Shen Wu, he couldn’t help but get angry. “Hmph, he is indeed the grandson of that old guy, smooth-tongued and full of little ideas!”

Chu Muxi smiled bitterly, “Grandpa Barlow, this must be the first time we meet, right? Do you have any misunderstandings about me?”

“This is the first time I’ve met you, not your grandpa! You’re his grandson, aren’t you the same with him?” Barlow looked skeptical, as if thinking, “You two are of the same blood, carved from the same mold, don’t even think about lying to me.”

Chu Muxi felt that the swelling and pain in his palm slowly disappeared. Although it was still swollen, it no longer hurt much.

“Thank you,” he thanked politely, seeming to have forgotten that it was because of Barlow that he was injured just now.

Looking at Chu Muxi, who was wrapped like a rice dumpling, also felt bad for her grandpa’s attitude, Cen Xue said sadly, “I’m sorry, Muxi. If I hadn’t brought you here, you wouldn’t have been injured today.”

“Senior, don’t say that. In fact, I want to thank you for bringing me here. Otherwise, how could I have met such a powerful person as Grandpa Barlow?”

After applying the medicine, Barlow turned into his usual arrogant self.

“You are so good at coaxing girls, just like your grandpa. Oh? How do you know I’m amazing? If you flatter me, get out immediately. I hate people with sweet tongue.”

Chu Muxi smiled; he had a good temper. He said, “Those photos on the wall, but I found that you don’t have a camera here, and you are not in those photos. This shows that you are not the one who takes photos, and you don’t like to take photos with others. Like those people, I’d better leave my photo here.”

“So what?” Barlow put down his legs and seemed a little interested. “What does this mean?”

Even Cen Xue looked at Chu Muxi curiously, but she couldn’t understand what Chu Muxi meant by this.

“You don’t like taking pictures, but you allow them to take them. You won’t take the initiative to build such a wall, but you agree with them to keep the photos. I have seen many of those people, who are all aloof and don’t look like they would leave photos of themselves in a dessert shop hidden in a corner. But they took the initiative to take photos and posted the photos on the wall. That only shows that they like this place and respect you. I said that, right?” Chu Muxi looked at Barlow with sparkling eyes, like a child who wanted to be praised.

Barlow looked at him for a long time and finally showed his first smile.

He laughed and said, “You are much more lovable than your grandpa.” After he finished speaking, he stood up.

Chu Muxi also stood up hurriedly and said embarrassedly, “If you feel that my arrival disturbs you, then I will leave first.”

“Okay, you are right, the matter between me and that old guy is our old age. What does our lifetime trouble, have to do with a little guy like you? Since you are here, just stay. Your hand was injured in my shop. As compensation, today I will treat you to taste the desserts in the shop.” Barlow waved his hand. “Let’s wait outside.”

Chu Muxi and Cen Xue looked at each other and smiled.

“Okay, thank you, Grandpa Barlow.”

“Hmph.”
