Chapter 48 Don't Hide It From Me

Xie Li's smile froze instantly, and he held his breath.

His hands, which were at his sides, clenched into fists, his nails slowly digging into his flesh. A forced smile appeared on his handsome face: "W-what's wrong...?"

Xie Li's alarm bells went off, and he quickly thought about whether there was any flaw somewhere. He had clearly investigated the security cameras in the hall that day, but due to the angle, they couldn't capture him pushing Chen Jin out.

Xu Cheng is someone who would never betray him and is completely devoted to him.

So... Shen Jin has awakened?

Impossible! How could she wake up so quickly!

He had already inquired and found out that even if Shen Jin woke up, his personal condition was a mystery. Even the doctors couldn't guarantee whether he could stay conscious. It was not impossible that he would become mentally impaired and not understand anything!

Therefore... he can be completely fearless! Why should he be afraid of Shen Jin? The truth of the matter is entirely up to him!

Xie Li sneered inwardly, her frozen smile returning as she sighed sadly, "I don't know what he was thinking back then. I told him it was dangerous, but he still insisted on rushing out. I couldn't stop him. Sigh."

"Did you pull him?" Yan Yu asked.

Xie Li narrowed his eyes almost imperceptibly. He couldn't believe that Yan Yu would suspect him because of Shen Jin. Damn it, he was half-dead and lying in bed, couldn't he just stay still?

"It's all my fault for being so sickly and weak. I happened to be there for a checkup that day, and I was very weak..." Xie Li's eyes dimmed, and he smiled sadly. "He was worried that you two would get hurt fighting, and he was anxious to tell me to rush out and break it up..."

"What?" Yan Yu was taken aback. As the smoke cleared, his expression became visible. He said with slight displeasure, "How can someone with your physique rush out to break up a fight! You'll just get hurt anyway!"

Xie Li is frail and sickly. He should just rest and adjust his mindset. How can we ask him to do rough and physically demanding things like breaking up fights? It would not only be useless but would also cause him to get hurt.

Seeing his reaction, Xie Li smiled and very understandingly "explained" for Shen Jin: "He was probably just too anxious at the time. He didn't mean any harm. Don't overthink it."

The more you explain something, the easier it is for people to misunderstand it.

At this moment, Xie Li started to feel a little awkward. As if feeling guilty, she rubbed her nose and tried to change the subject, taking his hand and saying, "Let's go, let's go back..."

Yan Yu saw his reaction, his peach blossom eyes narrowed slightly, he stopped and stared at his face: "A-Li, is there something you're hiding from me?"

Xie Li was taken aback, as if there really was something to it. Her eyes darted away, avoiding his gaze. She forced a smile and stammered, "N-no...you're overthinking it..."

"Don't hide anything from me," Yan Yu said sternly, a hint of displeasure in his eyes. "Just tell me what it is."

Xie Li lowered her head guiltily, bit her lower lip, and smiled bitterly, like a child who had done something wrong. She whispered, "He actually wanted to push me out to break up the fight, but I was a little scared, so I dodged away..."

"What did you say?" Yan Yu's face turned deathly pale.

Xie Li, however, seemed lost in a world of sorrow and self-blame, his eyes lowered, his voice hoarse: "So he missed, his feet were on broken glass shards, he lost his balance and crashed directly into the middle of you, taking your punch..."
