Chapter 127 - Choose Your Battles

Xie Yuansheng also started in the direction from where the smoke was being emitted. His brand new Porsche was breaking right in front of his eyes as he watched the smoke and heard various types of sounds coming out of it. Hurriedly, Feng Xinying opened the door of the car and jumped out of the car with her eyes closed shut and hands on her ears. She circled Xie Yuansheng to stand behind him.

"What happened?" she asked Xie Yuansheng hiding behind him.

Xie Yuansheng was shocked. He made a fist and started biting it out of frustration.

Feng Xinying prodded him a little again. "Xie Yuansheng, what happened? I had joined the wires according to the instruction given in the video…" she asked still not coming in front.

Xie Yuansheng face drooped. He turned to look at her and said, "The car has broken." As soon as he said that, there was a loud, "phat" sound and somewhere inside the bonnet a metallic sound came as though something had dropped down.

Xie Yuansheng held Feng Xinying's hand and moved away from the car. "Stay away from the Xinying," he shouted. "You have ruined it!"

"What? I have only tried to help you. If you think I have ruined it, you should have stopped me from mending it," she shouted back.

"I was sleeping when you started mending it!"

Feng Xinying was very unhappy. She knew that she had ruined the car but didn't know how to admit her mistake because if she would admit her mistake, he would only nag her more.

"It is not my fault," she declared.

"Okay, it is not your fault - I agree, but for now keep sitting on this boundary wall," said Xie Yuansheng as he made her sit on the boundary wall that was bordering the road. "I am calling for help. Don't move from here and don't go near the car. Okay?"

Feng Xinying lowered her head and muttered, "Okay…"

Xie Yuansheng moved a little further to search for signal and Feng Xinying saw him talking to someone after a few seconds. Once he finished talking, he came near her and saw that she was s.h.i.+vering. The cold autumn breeze had tousled her hair and pinked her cheeks. The warmth of the day that was there in the wind in the daytime had either evaporated in the sky or had seeped down into the earth. Xie Yuansheng went to the car where she had dropped the sweater and picked it from there. The car smelled of smoke. He brought the sweater to her and made her wear it while he stood with his hands in the pant pockets.

Feng Xinying looked at how caring he was. She smiled at him and said, "Come and sit near me, Yuansheng." She patted the place beside her. He went and sat there and she wrapped her arms around him. "This way both of us are going to stay warm." He smiled and wrapped his arms also around her.

"I am sorry," she spoke softly.

He just kept his head on her head and said, "It doesn't matter. We will buy a new one. It was a gift for you, so in a way it is okay that you handled it," he said laughing at his logic.

Feng Xinying joined his laughter.

They talked about other things and didn't realize that time had pa.s.sed so quickly. A tow away truck was seen coming their way. When the truck driver came and saw the couple, he thought that they looked rich. He demanded more money that was agreed upon. Feng Xinying wanted to shout at him, but Xie Yuansheng stopped her. "It is of no importance how much he asks for," he told her quietly when the tow-truck driver was tying the car to his truck.

"But he was trying to cheat us!" she said shocked.

"It is getting late Xinying and we have to reach the train station in time. So it's okay to pay him extra. Sometime we need to choose our battles, okay?" he explained her.
