Outside was a corridor, and the light was shone by someone holding a strong flashlight. At this moment, the light outside was dim.
Several people were lying in the corridor, covering their bodies and wailing.
The boss he had seen before was being protected and looking at them from afar.
Ye Chen was taken away by the bodyguards behind him, who didn't give him a chance to object or speak at all.
He turned around and looked. The girl was standing casually in the middle of the corridor, facing this group of people without the slightest sign of fear.
Ye Chen was sent into the car, staring fixedly at the exit.
Half an hour later, Chu Zheng came out from inside, holding her school uniform in her hand, with her sleeves slightly rolled up, revealing her beautiful wrists. Behind her was a burly bodyguard.
The scene was exactly the same as the appearance of the young lady of the Black and Black Society on TV.
The bodyguard opened the car door for her, and a cold aura enveloped her.
When the car left the place smoothly, Ye Chen's tense body gradually relaxed.
You... How do you know I'm here?
"Ask someone." A concise and clear answer.
You... Did you come to see me on purpose?
"Um."
The heart lake, which had been silent for many years, now began to ripple, slowly developing into violent waves that could never cease.
Ye Chen clenched his hands tightly and looked at her by the light in the car. The girl lowered her eyebrows and eyes, her fingers resting on her wrists, tapping them up and down.
The car was driving somewhere and jolted violently. Ye Chen leaned towards her.
He had thought of it, but in the end he tentatively leaned against her.
The latter merely moved slightly to the side.
Little sister, we should be good people!? You should give him gentle care and attention like water. Remember, be a good person ~
The voice of the king promptly stopped her behavior.
The car drove for half an hour and stopped outside a residential area.
"Miss Ji, here we are."
It's the community where he came last time.
Chu Zheng took out a bag from her schoolbag and handed it to the other person.
The other party checked for a moment, and a fierce smile immediately broke out on their face: "Thank you, Miss Ji, for using the bodyguard service of the Invincible Company. We are available whenever needed. Don't forget to give a good review."
Ye Chen: "??"
Is this from someone?
Several cars left one after another. Chu Zheng casually pulled Ye Chen into the community.
"Sizzle..."
Chu Zheng turned his head.
Ye Chen endured the pain and said, "It's okay."
So weak!
Chu Zheng fell back and instead supported him, leading him upstairs.
Ye Chen sat on the sofa. Chu Zheng rummaged through the cabinets for a long time. Finally, he stood in the living room, lost in thought as he gazed at the empty room.
Thank you for coming to save me today. He had already made up his mind to fight to the death with that group of people, but he never expected that someone would come to his rescue.
This person... He was even more someone he had never dared to dream of before.
You're welcome. Chu Zheng solemnly propped her chin up, as if casually replying to him.
Is there any problem? Seeing her like that, Ye Chen couldn't help worrying: "Will those people cause you trouble?" I...
Chu Zheng turned around and interrupted him seriously, "Can you go and buy the medicine?"
It's so troublesome to go out in the dead of night.
Now, even her body and background board are constantly showing the word "trouble".
[...] How could a young lady say such words!! This is being single by one's own ability!!
The king went crazy.
Ye Chen was also a bit confused.
He has trouble walking now. How can he buy medicine? So was it this she was thinking about for so long just now?
I'll go by myself.
He has already caused her a lot of trouble, and now he has to trouble her...
Ye Chen stood up as he spoke, but before he could steady himself, he fell back, his knees aching in waves.
He frowned, took a deep breath and stood up with all his might.
But just after taking two steps, he fell down directly. Had it not been for Chu Zheng's quick eyes and hands catching him, he would have bumped into a corner of the sofa by now.
Ye Chen was very close to Chu Zheng at this moment.
Ye Chen once again felt a heartbeat different from his usual one.
Thump...
Thump thump thump...
The heart seemed as if it were about to leap out.
He stared into Chu Zheng's eyes, his hand resting on her shoulder and pressing against her lips.
Chu Zheng seemed to just stare at him blankly and didn't react at all.
What are you doing?
Her tone was very calm, without any anger or the embarrassment or annoyance of a normal girl being humiliated. It was as if she were asking why the weather was so cold.
Ye Chen was flustered in his heart.
She once said that saving herself was just to make herself feel that she was a good person.
Just now he didn't know either how he could...
Ye Chen suddenly spoke up, "Since my parents passed away, no matter what happened, I could only get through it alone, enduring the illness, the cold, and everything I couldn't accept..." Several times I thought I would die, but I didn't.
He has been... It's been a long time since I felt what it's like to be taken care of and saved by someone.
Reason told him that all of this might be a hoax.
But beyond his rationality, he couldn't help thinking of her. At first, it was about her motives and purposes, and later... Just think of her alone.
Ye Chen suddenly realized what he was saying.
"I..." I'm leaving first.
Ye Chen rushed out of the door. As soon as he stepped out, he fell down. The pain in his knee spread to his limbs, and even his heart ached.
A person like him, what right does he have to say these to her?
She is the lofty eldest daughter of the Ji family.
Surrounded in front and behind, the scenery is boundless.
They were not of the same kind in the first place.
Ye Chen got up and walked towards the elevator as if he didn't feel any pain.
As soon as the elevator door opened, a hand thrust across and pushed him to the side. Ye Chen's back was pressed against the cold wall.
Chu Zheng propped himself up against the wall with one hand and asked, "Where are you going?"
Ye Chen turned his head away, not daring to look her in the eye: "I'm sorry to cause you trouble..."
"Go back." Chu Zheng raised his chin towards the door.
"I..."
"One last time. Go back."
"Ji Chu Zheng..."
If you don't go back, I'll break your legs. Chu Zheng threatened him fiercely.
"..."
Ye Chen was thrown back onto the sofa again. Chu Zheng didn't look at him and walked out with a stern face. The door snapped shut with a click, followed by the sound of it locking from the inside.
Ye Chen: "..."
Ye slumped onto the sofa, hugging his knees and staring blankly at the void.
Ji Chu Zheng...
It seems that I... Like you.
