Chapter 70 "Taking You Home"

Shen Jing Si Xin lingered for a moment.

He had assumed she was feeling wronged and resentful at that moment.

But Lu Zhenyu did not.

She lowered her head, blew on the wound twice, and saw that blood was still seeping out, her brows furrowed even deeper.

He threw off the covers and got out of bed on his own. Under everyone's gaze, he returned barefoot, carrying a first-aid kit, and knelt down in front of Shen Jingsi, who was kneeling halfway down.

She pulled out two cotton swabs and unscrewed the iodine solution. "It might sting a little, just bear with it."

Holding the injured hand in her palm, Lu Zhenyu dipped a cotton swab in iodine and gently pressed it onto the wound, then lifted it up, blew on it, and pressed it again.

Shen Jingsi's eyes were already overflowing with blood, and tears trembled at the edges of his eyes.

"Zhenzhen?"

"Um?"

"I don't need bandages, can you let me see where you're injured first?"

"I'm not injured, and it doesn't hurt." Lu Zhenyu's eyes were only on his wound at this moment. "Yours looks like it hurts more."

The pain was unbearable.

"I don't want you to be in pain."

Snap.

A scalding teardrop hit the floor and shattered into pieces.

Lu Zhenyu paused in applying the medicine, her peripheral vision following the traces of tears, meeting those red phoenix eyes.

She laughed and wiped the tears from his face with the back of her hand. "Silly boy, did you think I was going to die?"

Shen Jingsi couldn't explain it, but he felt that no matter what state she was in, she shouldn't be like this at this moment.

How so?

Calm, so calm.

Like a stagnant pool where the wind cannot stir a ripple, the soul has long since withered, and the body awaits death.

It was an unprecedented fear, an overwhelming and indescribable terror, that enveloped him.

Shen Jingsi immediately pulled her into his arms. "Zhenzhen, if you want to cry, just cry. If you want to curse, just curse. Don't scare me like this, okay?"

Lu Zhenyu didn't react at all, quietly leaning against him and closing her eyes.

It seems everyone assumed she must be terrified and in pain at that moment.

But she had been living this kind of life for five years and was already used to it.

When Zheng Yaozong pinned her down and she was powerless to resist, she wasn't afraid, she was just disgusted and wanted to die.

So Lu Zhenyu wasn't pretending to be strong; "I was just thinking about something."

They looked dazed because they were so engrossed in thinking.

Shen Jingsi lowered his head and asked, "What is it?"

Lu Zhenyu sighed, "I feel a little tired and want to go home and get some sleep."

"Then I'll take you home."

"But I..."

She pursed her lips, her hesitant voice growing increasingly faint, "I'm a little confused."

Shen Jingsi patiently asked, "Where are you confused? Can you tell me?"

The amber pupils looked like spring water gushing from the foot of the mountain, clear and without impurities.

How could a normal adult have such clear eyes?

Ke Luzhen has.

She tilted her head, and said very seriously:

"I don't know where my home is."

As Shen Jingsi's eyes widened in shock, Shi Yiqiao at the door burst into tears.

Her trembling lips clenched her fingers tightly as she turned and ran away.

Siwei immediately followed, walked through a long corridor, and pulled the girl who was squatting by the wall and sobbing back into his arms.

"What's wrong? Why are you crying?"

Shi Yiqiao rarely cries; aside from acting, she has almost never shed a tear in her life.

She knew that crying was useless, even back in the orphanage.

At this moment, she could not suppress her emotions and buried her face in the man's firm chest, her body trembling.

"I think she's about to die."

"What?" The officer thought he had misheard.

Shi Yiqiao, tears streaming down her face, shook her head.

It's something inexplicable, something only those with extremely high sensitivity can perceive.

Shi Yiqiao clearly sensed that, "She, she might not be able to survive any longer."

Feeling the overwhelming dampness about to burst through his eyes, Shen Jingsi tilted his head back and blinked several times, forcing the tears back.

After regaining his composure, he smiled at the bewildered girl and said, "Silly girl, who said you don't have a home? Of course you do."

Lu Zhenyu blinked. "Really?"

"certainly."

Shen Jingsi nodded, tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, and gently rubbed her cheek. "Of course our Zhenzhen has a home, and your good friend is waiting for you there. Shall I take you back to see it?"

Although the girl was puzzled, she nodded nonetheless.

Shen Jingsi braced himself on the bed, using the leverage to straighten his right leg, then squatted down behind Lu Zhenyu, saying, "Get on, Shen Jingsi will carry you back."

Seeing that broad, straight back bending down for her, the girl smiled and bent over to lean on it.

Shen Jingsi hooked his legs around the waist and gently bounced the person up.

"Let's go, let's take our baby home."

The girl on his back instantly beamed like a child, shouting, "Let's go home!"

As she arrived at the door, Lu Zhenyu waved to Shi Yiqiao, who was standing by the wall, saying, "Goodbye, Yiqiao."

Shi Yiqiao, with swollen eyes, smiled and waved to her, "See you next time, Pearl."

The girl said she wanted to go home, and soon after getting into the car, she snuggled up in Jing Si's arms and fell asleep.

When I woke up again, the sky was clear and the sun was high in the sky.

Feeling a barbed tongue licking her face, Lu Zhenyu, still drowsy, frowned.

She thought it was Shen Jingsi, "Stop fooling around, I haven't slept enough."

The other person stopped, and Lu Zhenyu turned over, still clutching the blanket.

Just then, a "meow~" came from behind.

With her tightly closed eyes snapping open, Lu Zhenyu rolled over and unexpectedly met the gaze of large, round, watery eyes.

One second, two seconds, three seconds...

The little guy tilted its head, "Meow?"

After a half-minute brain malfunction, Lu Zhenyu finally reconnected and immediately picked up the little guy.

"Little tabby cat? Is it really you?"

Even though they hadn't seen each other for a while, the little guy wasn't shy at all, rubbing his head against her chest and meowing.

After several months, the shock of suddenly seeing the little guy completely unharmed was so great that it was hard to tell Lu Zhenyu that Zheng Yaozong had died.

She almost laughed until tears streamed down her face, turning the baby in her arms over and over to examine it.

After confirming that it really was the one in Jinyun Bay, my spirits soared.

"How did you escape? Didn't those people catch you?"

The little tabby cat lying in my arms suddenly got up and walked towards the foot of the bed.

Lu Zhenyu was wondering what it was going to do when Shen Jingsi walked in from outside.

Meow~

The little guy immediately showed him his belly to make a gesture of goodwill, lying there sprawled out for a long time, but the man completely ignored him, passing by without even glancing at him.

The little guy, bewildered, rolled over and stood up, only to see the male owner rushing straight to the female owner, bending down to kiss the little face that was looking up at him.

"Have you had enough sleep?"

Seeing her expressionless face, Shen Jingsi sat down and put his arm around her.

"Don't worry, it's not a dream. Why don't you go and hit Lu Xiao Si a couple of times and see if it hurts?"

The little guy looked up and exclaimed, "Meow?"

The aroma of tobacco mixed with traditional Chinese medicine wafted up, and Lu Zhenyu, upon smelling it, felt a sense of relief, realizing that her anxiety was just an illusion.

She asked eagerly, "When did you bring it back?"

No, looking around the sun-drenched bedroom, she asked again:

"Where is this? Didn't Little Fox Flower get killed by Zheng Yaozong's men? Do you know that I was taken away by Zheng Yaozong that day?"

What to do? Lu Zhenyu has so many questions right now. She's lost her logic, doesn't know where to start asking, and can't possibly ask them all.

Shen Jingsi was in no hurry. He carried the person downstairs to the restaurant and explained while they ate.
