Chapter 356: Not Interested!

Upon hearing this, Xiao Feng instinctively stepped aside.

At this moment, the others also noticed the scene, and Group Leader Kong frowned and said, “What are you dodging for?”

“Ah! Nothing! I think I don’t even need this shot.”

Upon hearing Group Leader Kong’s words, Xiao Feng quickly explained.

“You’re not afraid of needles, are you? Where’s that fierce courage you showed fighting the wolves just now?”

But Group Leader Kong ignored Xiao Feng’s words and continued speaking.

Upon hearing this, everyone couldn’t help but glance at Xiao Feng in surprise.

“Group Leader, I didn’t get hurt—I just got a tiny scratch from a wolf’s claw. Look, it’s barely the size of a thumb. Why would I need a shot?”

Hearing this, Xiao Feng didn’t directly answer Group Leader Kong’s question but hurriedly defended himself.

In fact, Group Leader Kong’s guess was exactly right.

Xiao Feng had always been fearless since childhood, but there was one thing he feared: needles.

Of course, Xiao Feng was also a retired soldier, and injuries had been common before.

Back then, even when injured, he never flinched—but facing this tiny needle, he always felt an inexplicable fear, perhaps a childhood trauma.

At this moment, everyone could clearly see Xiao Feng was truly afraid of needles, and they all burst into mocking laughter.

Of course, many still found this surprising.

Even Xiao Yi, standing nearby, felt the same.

After all, Xiao Yi had noticed how Xiao Feng fought the wolf pack just now.

At that time, even Xiao Yi had secretly given him a thumbs-up, calling him a true man.

Who would’ve thought? That iron-blooded hero now feared a tiny needle.

“No. Any scratch from a wolf requires this shot.”

Clearly, Xiao Feng’s resistance was useless—the doctor beside him said directly.

Then, the doctor ignored the restless Xiao Feng.

Instead, he picked up the syringe, walked to Group Leader Kong, and injected the vaccine into his arm.

At this moment, Xiao Feng watched helplessly, his face grim—he knew this shot was unavoidable today.

After arranging Group Leader Kong, the doctor now approached Xiao Feng with the vaccine.

“Doctor, can I wait until I get back to base to get this shot?”

Seeing the doctor coming, Xiao Feng still tried to struggle, speaking up again.

“No. Rabies vaccine works best when given as early as possible—you must be injected within 24 hours.”

“I’m not scaring you. If that wolf that scratched you carried rabies, and you don’t get the vaccine in time, it’s a death sentence. You don’t want to end up a monster, do you?”

“What are you doing over there? Dragging your feet like a woman—show your arm to the doctor!”

Seeing this, Group Leader Kong was speechless and scolded him.

“Exactly! You’re a grown man—don’t you feel ashamed? Don’t you realize we’re still live-streaming? Everyone online has seen your cowardice.”

At this moment, Captain Yan also couldn’t help but tease—he never expected a big man could be this terrified of needles.

Hearing Captain Yan’s words, Xiao Feng suddenly realized: Xiao Yi’s live stream had over twenty million viewers online.

He looked up at the drone, his previously downcast face turning even more miserable—he’d just humiliated himself in front of the entire nation.

Now, tens of millions probably knew he was afraid of needles.

Then Xiao Feng gritted his teeth, quickly bared his arm, and turned his face away.

“Ow!”

“What were you screaming for? The doctor hasn’t even injected you yet!”

Group Leader Kong’s face darkened in exasperation as he scolded.

“Pfft!”

Seeing this, Xiao Yi couldn’t help but laugh helplessly, eventually bursting into laughter.

The doctor about to inject Xiao Feng was so startled by his yell that his hand trembled.

Hearing this, Xiao Feng gave an awkward smile and turned his face away again.

As for the live stream viewers, they now found Xiao Feng amusing.

“This Xiao Feng is hilarious. I watched him fighting the wolves live—I thought he was terrifying, but he didn’t fall to the wolves—he fell to a tiny needle!”

“Haha, even I, a girl, am not afraid of needles. How can he be this scared?”

“Man, there are really men this afraid of needles? I’ve learned something new.”

“Pfft! So what? I’ve been afraid of needles since childhood—what’s so surprising?”

“I thought I was the only big guy who felt this way. Honestly, I never cried out when I broke bones in fights—but seeing a needle makes me freeze.”

“Exactly. Even watching someone else get injected makes me uncomfortable.”

“Still, even if he’s scared, Xiao Feng’s shot is unavoidable.”

“True. Getting the vaccine now is safer. But seeing Xiao Feng this terrified, I feel… a little excited? Am I twisted?”

“Honestly, maybe I am twisted—but I feel exactly the same way.”

…

…

Of course, the live stream’s discussion centered entirely on how a grown man could be this terrified of needles.

Many expressed disbelief, but soon others admitted their own fears were similar to Xiao Feng’s.

Naturally, Xiao Yi, Group Leader Kong, and the others didn’t know any of this.

If Xiao Feng could see these comments, his mood might improve.

…

…

“The Maple Country police rescue team has arrived!”

“The Maple Country police rescue team has arrived!”

Just after Xiao Feng received his shot, a rescue team member ran over and announced.

Hearing this, Captain Yan and Group Leader Kong exchanged glances, then spoke.

“Since they’ve come, let’s go greet them.”

But Xiao Yi, upon hearing this, showed no interest, yawning as he said,

“Captain Yan, Group Leader Kong, it seems there’s nothing more needed from me here—I’ll return to my tent to rest. Tomorrow we still need to search for Brother Shen.”

“Xiao Shen, I think you should come with us to meet them.”

“Besides, the leader of the Maple Country police rescue team, Officer Angie, seems quite interested in you.”

Hearing Xiao Yi’s words, Captain Yan chuckled and urged him.

“Is Officer Angie male or female?”

“Male!”

Xiao Yi “...”

What interest could a man possibly have in him? Of course, that wasn’t the real issue—the real issue was that Xiao Yi had no interest in men.

“Sorry, Captain Yan, I’m not interested. If he asks for me later, just cover for me.”

Xiao Yi declined firmly.

If a foreign blonde beauty with blue eyes were interested in him, he’d consider meeting her—but since it’s a man, there’s no point.

“No, Xiao Shen...”

Then Captain Yan explained the full details about Angie to Xiao Yi.

Hearing this, Xiao Yi was stunned—he hadn’t realized there was so much behind it; that guy had come specifically for him.

Afterward, Xiao Yi sighed and spoke again.

“If that’s the case, fine—I’ll meet him. But just to meet him.”

Xiao Yi had zero interest in Angie’s challenge.

In fact, he felt unlucky—why had he drawn the attention of someone like this?

…

…

“Angie, the Xiao you’ve been waiting for is inside. How’s it feel? Are you excited? But you’re not really going to challenge him on the spot, are you?”

“I’m not excited at all!”

Seeing Angie fidgeting nervously, Officer Lane teased.

Angie, beside him, maintained his cold demeanor and replied haughtily.

Seeing this, Officer Lane just smiled—he was just pretending to be tough.

“Here they come—that must be Xiao? He looks just like in the videos.”

“Xiao looks so weak! He doesn’t even seem stronger than me. Can he really hunt bears and tear wolves apart?”

“Heh, wanna go test Xiao’s strength like Angie did?”

“No way! I’m scared he’ll tear me apart!”

As Xiao Yi and Captain Yan’s group emerged, the Maple Country police rescue team members began whispering among themselves.

Especially, everyone’s gaze lingered on Xiao Yi, who lagged slightly behind.

At this moment, Xiao Yi naturally sensed the stares from the opposite side.

At first, it made him slightly uncomfortable, but afterward, he felt nothing.

Let them look! It won’t make him lose an ounce of flesh, let alone a single cent.

Afterwards, the personnel from both sides met up.

“Officer Angie, hello. I’m the team leader for this program—you can call me Yan. Thank you very much to the Maple Leaf Country Police Rescue Team for your support of our production.”

At this moment, Team Leader Yan stepped forward to greet Angie on behalf of the production team, since he was the only one who could represent them.

Hearing this, Angie first glanced at Team Leader Yan, then spoke up.

“Team Leader Yan, hello. I’m sorry we couldn’t be of more help—I hope we can cooperate again in the future.”

Then, Angie’s gaze passed over everyone and fixed directly on Xiao Yi.

At this moment, Xiao Yi naturally saw Angie too. He had to admit—the guy was quite handsome, fitting Eastern aesthetics; if he debuted in China, he’d probably have countless Chinese fangirls.

But is this guy crazy? Why’s he staring at me all the time? Just talk among yourselves—I really don’t want to fight.

“Xiao, hello. I’m Angie. I’m glad to see you here.”

At this moment, Angie was the first to speak to Xiao Yi—and his Mandarin was remarkably authentic.

“Hello, Xiao Yi!”

But Xiao Yi responded with a half-hearted, indifferent grunt.

Xiao Yi had never been particularly friendly toward anyone who gave him trouble.

Unless that person brought him money while giving him trouble.

Now that Xiao Yi knew Angie would only bring him trouble, his attitude was already quite good.

Angie was slightly frowning at Xiao Yi’s attitude, but he didn’t dwell on it.

Then, Angie said the sentence that made Xiao Yi’s head ache.

“Xiao, I’ve seen the videos of you fighting a brown bear and capturing the killer doctor. I’m also a martial arts enthusiast—would it be possible to learn a few moves from you after this rescue mission ends?”

Although Xiao Yi lifting the bear was indeed shocking, through the video, Angie could tell Xiao Yi’s martial technique wasn’t impressive.

Moreover, Angie himself harbored doubts about the scene of Xiao Yi lifting the bear.

After all, this was just a TV program—production teams could fabricate anything for publicity. That was precisely why Angie felt confident enough to challenge Xiao Yi.

At this moment, netizens in the live streams went wild upon hearing Angie wanted to challenge Xiao Yi.

“Oh my god! This foreign handsome cop is so hot! I’m losing control—but isn’t this guy insane?”

“Did I just hear that right? That Maple Leaf handsome cop wants to fight my Xiao Shen?”

“Don’t do it, handsome! You need to be rational right now—don’t do something this crazy. Someone could die.”

“Why not do something better? Why go out of your way to seek death?”

“I only care if we can watch the live stream—why not just fight right now?”

“Haha, I support fighting right now—save the hassle of picking a time.”

“Are you guys dreaming? Not a single member of Team Leader Shen’s rescue team has been found yet! Wouldn’t it be terrible if you sent the Maple Leaf Police Rescue officer to the hospital? After all, he came to help.”

“That’s true, but I think Xiao Shen could hold back! If he really must, he could even let him keep two legs and one arm.”

“Honestly, I still admire this officer’s courage—challenging Xiao Shen isn’t something just anyone dares say out loud.”

“Haha, right! Turns out there really are people in this day and age who are stupidly fearless!”

“Actually, if Xiao Shen really does fight this officer, can I vote for the officer? After all, beauty is justice.”

“…”

…

…

At this moment, the general sentiment among live stream viewers was that Angie was overestimating himself.

After all, no one understood just how terrifying Xiao Yi was better than those who had always followed his livestreams.

Of course, many were even worried Xiao Yi might accidentally kill the officer.

“Not interested.”

But Xiao Yi’s next words left everyone stunned.

Even the entire scene fell silent.

Angie, standing there, was filled with embarrassment.

Angie never expected Xiao Yi to refuse him so bluntly in front of so many people.

He couldn’t even recall the last time someone had rejected him so mercilessly.

In fact, Xiao Yi had agreed to come meet Angie at the end, just to see what kind of reckless fool dared challenge him.

Now that he’d seen him—he was even better-looking than Xiao Yi.

Xiao Yi hated men who were better-looking than him and still came looking for trouble—so his refusal was utterly decisive.
