Chapter 19: The Worst Aftermath (Revised)

  Everything is just like usual in China.

  This is too absurd.

  I just came out to buy some things and ended up running into something like this!

  You know, in a messy place like New York, she has never encountered any problems alone!

  But ironically, such a thing happened in Seattle, a city that is often considered one of the best places to live and work in the world, which can't help but be seen as an irony.

  And Catherine was so careful.

  It can't get any worse than this.

  A sturdy man walked over, still holding a dagger in his hand.

  But in comparison, the slender man rushed up with a sturdy step and threw a punch, and the robust man fell to the ground clutching his stomach.

  At this time, another two thugs also followed up and stabbed out their daggers.

  Whites have an advantage in cases involving people of color, so they have a big say.

  But the man was unusually agile and shook them off, then before Catherine could see what was happening, he felled one of them with a punch, and turned to kick another flying.

  "Are you okay?"

  He walked over.

  "Thank you so much."

  "I'll go report it," he said.

  "No, never mind." That would be too much trouble. And in this day and age, American police are practically synonymous with bloodsuckers. Who knows, maybe I wouldn't have a problem here, but once we got to the station, it could turn into a tragedy.

  "Then I'll see you off first...... where do you live?"

  "That hotel over there."

  This man is surprisingly of Chinese descent, but his English seems quite good. But why does this face look so familiar? It seems like I've seen it somewhere before.

  Catherine was soon taken to the hotel.

  "My name is Catherine Edson. Thank you so much this time."

  "It's just a small matter, no need to take it to heart. I'll go first then."

  "What's your name?"

  "My name is Bruce Lee."

  After he finished speaking, he left.

  Catherine also finally let out a sigh of relief.

  Wait...

  This person's face looks very familiar, but Catherine can't quite put her finger on where she has seen this person before.

  Bruce Lee...?

  Catherine suddenly realized.

  I had thought before, isn't Li Zhenwan the one who graduated from Edison Technical School in Seattle this year!

  About love on earth, 1960, Seattle.

  The celebrity associated with this is Lee Small Dragon.

  Wait...

  Was I just saved by Bruce Lee?

  Bruce Lee hadn't gone far when Catherine immediately followed him.

  "Excuse me, are you Mr. Lee Small Dragon?" Catherine asked immediately.

  Li Xiaolong found it strange, but could only nod his head.

  "I'm your fan, can you sign an autograph for me...please?"

  Lee Small Dragon's stage name was first used in 1948 in the film "We Owe It to Our Children", and Lee Small Dragon's age for filming is almost equivalent to his age, although he is only 20 years old. However, Lee Small Dragon is also a relatively popular movie star in Hong Kong. However, it will take several more years for him to be active in the United States.

  Catherine was very excited at this moment.

  But Bruce Lee was also a bit strange.

  He has performed in many films in Hong Kong, and even before he went to school, he had just finished a new film. However, his reputation seems not to have crossed the ocean yet?

  Anyway, he still signed one for Catherine.

  Anyway, this matter has been perfectly resolved after all.

  As soon as she got back to the hotel, Catherine changed into trousers.

  It has to be said, being pressed down by that man's knee was simply too terrible.

  To be honest, Catherine didn't dislike skirts, but after encountering such a thing, she began to develop a rejection of them.

  She carefully put away the signature, this thing has great commemorative value.

  Bruce Lee had not yet created Jeet Kune Do at this time but he was still practicing Wing Chun and his teacher Yip Man seemed to be still alive.

  It's just a pity that Bruce Lee died suddenly later on, what a great pity.

  There are many rumors about the cause of Bruce Lee's death, some say it was an allergic reaction to medication, others claim it was a triad assassination or even Japanese people, but the official announcement of Bruce Lee's cause of death is: taking painkillers caused an allergic reaction leading to cerebral edema and ultimately death.

  No matter what the situation is, it's all reasonable and convincing, making it hard to doubt. That's why this thing is so frustrating.

  "But for now he's fine... this matter is none of our business..."

  Catherine could only tell herself this way.

  After all, this thing is still after 13 years, and it's hard for oneself to control it anyway.

  But if it could really help him, Catherine didn't want such a martial artist and superstar to fall like this either.

  Catherine was a bit regretful that she didn't ask for Bruce Lee's contact information, and instead just went to get his autograph.

  Next, Catherine also didn't see Bruce Lee again, and they traveled around as a family, visiting various scenic spots, and after spending Christmas and New Year's, finally took a plane back to New York.

  But Catherine had been feeling unwell all along.

  She looks very beautiful, and every time she goes out, there are not a few boys looking at her, but she thinks it's nothing. However, now, whenever she is seen by men, she almost gets goosebumps.

  It wasn't until I returned to school that this dazed state gradually improved. After all, there were only a few male teachers in the school.

  Although her condition has improved somewhat, she still feels dizzy and disoriented.

  The scene of that day has been on my mind all day long.

  The most outrageous thing is not this, but that she fantasizes all day about what would have happened if she hadn't met Li Xiaolong!

  Good heavens! I've been thinking about this issue all along, and even dreaming about it!

  She almost felt like she was going to collapse.

  "Kate?"

  "Ah!"

  At a meeting of Angel Fashion Design Company, Catherine, who was lost in thought again, was pulled back from her reverie by her partners.

  "What's wrong with you?" Lily asked anxiously.

  After all, she has been like this since school started.

  "It's nothing." She smiled slightly.

  It wasn't until the meeting was over that Ada came over.

  "Kate, what's going on lately?"

  "Nothing, just feel...a bit uncomfortable."

  "Do we need to go see Mr. Bitman again? His treatment effect wasn't bad last time, was it? Hmm... maybe going to the hospital for a check-up would be better? It's also possible that there's a physical reason. Maybe treatment will be needed?"

  Catherine shook her head.

  "No, I'm quite repulsed by men now."

  Indeed, Catherine now feels that she seems to get goosebumps every time a man touches her... Didn't think the problem was so serious.

  Damn it, how did I end up like this?

  Catherine thought it was nothing to have normal interactions with men, but now it's clear that the aftereffects of almost being taken advantage of are bursting out all at once.

  "What treatment? What are you talking about?"

  Jenny came up.

  "Kate felt unwell, I suggested she see a psychologist. I know a doctor who does hypnosis therapy and it's very effective. But Kate said she was currently prejudiced against men." Ada replied.

  "If so, maybe I can help. Although in my opinion, it's still better for you to go to the hospital for a check-up, but if it's really just a simple psychological issue, I can help you solve it."

  Does Jenny also know hypnotherapy?

  This unassuming honor student... is actually this powerful?

  "My parents are both doctors, my mother is a surgeon and my father is a psychiatrist who also dabbles in this area. Kate, what's your question? Just tell me and I can help you."
