I don't want you to be sad.

Before Jiang Jingshu could react, the call was disconnected. Jiang Jingshu quickly called the other end of the line.

The other party seemed to have been waiting for this call, and the call was answered almost instantly.

Have you thought it through?

Jiang Jingshu sneered, "Give me the address."

After the other party gave the address, Jiang Jingshu quickly hung up the phone, her expression turning serious. In contrast to Jiang Jingshu's tense expression, Xie Zhijin seemed somewhat relaxed. He gently rubbed Jiang Jingshu's head and massaged it for her. "Don't worry, I will call the police in advance tomorrow."

Jiang Jingshu simply held Xie Zhijin's hand and said to him, "Perhaps, it would be better for me to leave this circle."

Jiang Jingshu didn't want to affect others anymore. When the person on the other end of the phone mentioned Su Xiaoyue and Xie Zhijin, Jiang Jingshu felt as if her neck was being gripped tightly.

I couldn't breathe at all.

Very few people knew that Xie Zhijin was a victim of domestic violence. How could they be so well-informed as to know everything?

Even Xie Zhijin didn't know Su Xiaoyue's identity as an online novel author, so how did they find out?

Jiang Jingshu felt a headache. She frowned, but suddenly felt short of breath.

She began to tremble uncontrollably.

Xie Zhijin clearly sensed that something was wrong with Jiang Jingshu, and he touched her forehead with his hand.

It's very cold.

He then took Jiang Jingshu's hand.

It's still very cold.

Xie Zhijin's mind went blank at that moment. He picked her up and ran towards the nearest hospital.

Fortune Hotel is very close to Z City First Hospital. Xie Zhijin anxiously hailed a car and headed towards the hospital.

Jiang Jingshu trembled in Xie Zhijin's arms, feeling dizzy and her eyes felt incredibly heavy.

She gripped Xie Zhijin's hand tightly, and even her forehead was covered in a fine sheen of sweat.

Xie Zhijin held her in his arms and warmed her with his whole body.

Jiang Jingshu felt no warmth at all, and a tear rolled down her cheek.

This was probably the strongest premonition she'd ever had; she really was going to leave.

She knew going to the hospital would be useless. She wanted to tell Xie Zhijin not to worry, but she didn't have the strength.

Her vision gradually blurred, and Jiang Jingshu's grip on Xie Zhijin's hand slowly weakened.

She simply said, "It's okay."

Seeing Jiang Jingshu's reaction, the driver became a little anxious. "Is this girl alright? We'll be at the hospital soon. Don't let her fall asleep."

Xie Zhijin just looked at the little person in his arms. She didn't say anything or smile, just lay quietly in his arms.

The driver seemed to be saying something up ahead, but he couldn't hear him.

He pressed his forehead tightly against Jiang Jingshu's, "Jiang Jingshu, didn't you say you were fine? Wake up, we have important things to do tomorrow. Don't you really want to know who is so awful? Wake up, and I'll go with you to see them tomorrow, okay?"

Xie Zhijin's voice trembled slightly, and he himself was surprised. His body was trembling even more than Jiang Jingshu's.

Finally arriving at the hospital, Xie Zhijin carried Jiang Jingshu and rushed towards the hospital. He walked very fast, but Jiang Jingshu in his arms was steady. He said, "Jiang Jingshu, I'm at the hospital now. She'll be fine soon."

Jiang Jingshu was sent for treatment, and Xie Zhijin just squatted outside.

His hands wandered aimlessly without him noticing.

He had never felt this way in twenty years; he was just very nervous, very nervous.

When the doctor came out, Xie Zhijin rushed over, his voice anxious, "Is she alright?"

The doctor asked him with some doubt, "The patient has no organic lesions."

Upon hearing this, Xie Zhijin breathed a sigh of relief. "Is she awake?"

The doctor nodded. "But we're not entirely sure what caused her to faint. Does she have any psychological issues?"

Xie Zhijin shook his head. The doctor continued, "If there's no physical cause, then we can only look for psychological reasons. Has she recently experienced something unpleasant?"

Xie Zhijin was taken aback. "Cyberbullying."

The doctor nodded. "That's right. Once she calms down, take her for a psychological assessment."

Xie Zhijin nodded, asked the doctor some precautions, and then hurried to the ward. On the bed, Jiang Jingshu had already woken up, just like before she fainted, and there was no change in her appearance.

When Jiang Jingshu saw Xie Zhijin come in, she smiled at him and said, "I'm fine now. You were scared, weren't you?"

Xie Zhijin shook his head. "Are you completely better now?"

Jiang Jingshu reached out and wiped the thin layer of sweat from Xie Zhijin's forehead. "I'm sorry, I made you worry."

"Jiang Jingshu." Xie Zhijin simply pulled Jiang Jingshu into his arms, her body still cold.

Jiang Jingshu gently patted Xie Zhijin's back, "I'm fine. It's probably just a side effect of time travel. It's nothing."

To avoid worrying Xie Zhijin, Jiang Jingshu repeatedly assured him that everything was fine.

However, she was still shocked when she heard Xie Zhijin's words.

Xie Zhijin asked her, "When do agave plants bloom?"

She replied, "I saw yesterday that it's growing very fast. Agave flowers bloom in an instant, so I guess it will be soon."

"Jiang Jingshu," Xie Zhijin called her name softly, "Let's work together to cultivate the agave."

Jiang Jingshu was a little puzzled, "Do you want the agave to bloom sooner?"

"I don't want to."

As Xie Zhijin spoke, his voice gradually weakened, "I was even so greedy as to want it to never bloom."

Jiang Jingshu looked at Xie Zhijin quietly and listened to his words, "But the thought of you still suffering like this in the future terrifies me."

"It's just a little uncomfortable, but you'll feel better soon," Jiang Jingshu reassured her gently. "The doctor probably already told you that there's nothing wrong with me."

I don't want you to be upset.

Jiang Jingshu was clearly stunned. Xie Zhijin held Jiang Jingshu's hand and said, "I don't want you to be in pain. I don't want to see you trembling in my arms anymore, and I don't want to hold your cold hand."

"Xie Zhijin." Jiang Jingshu stood up slightly. Xie Zhijin was still bowing his head in front of her. She stroked the top of Xie Zhijin's head with her hand. "You are the first person who cares about my feelings."

Xie Zhijin kept his head down. "I guess these are your final tests."

Jiang Jingshu nodded in agreement and gave a soft "hmm".

“You have nothing left to grow. In my opinion, you are already perfect. The agave has absorbed enough nutrients.” Xie Zhijin said, consciously lowering his voice.

"I'll work with you to resolve this, and then I'll wait for you to leave."

Jiang Jingshu's feelings were complicated. She looked outside and said, "Xie Zhijin, I want to be discharged."

Xie Zhijin took her away from the hospital.

"Xie Zhijin, I want to eat candied hawthorn." Jiang Jingshu took Xie Zhijin's hand and walked down the steps one by one. When they reached the last step, she said, "Xie Zhijin, I feel really safe in your arms."

Xie Zhijin looked up at her.

"Xie Zhijin, are you ready to accept my departure?"

Xie Zhijin hesitated for three seconds, then nodded.

"I'm ready too." Jiang Jingshu walked ahead on her own, loosening her grip on his hand.

Noticing that his hand was empty, Xie Zhijin stared at his palm and smiled.

"Xie Zhijin, be happy for me." Jiang Jingshu looked at the sky. "I'm going home."

"I'm happy for you." Xie Zhijin quickly caught up with her. "Jiang Jingshu, tomorrow will definitely be a good day."

Jiang Jingshu smiled and took her hand again.

—

The next day, Jiang Jingshu brought Xiao Jin, whom she had prepared, to the Fortune Hotel, but she was shocked when she saw who it was.

"Wang Shengli?" Jiang Jingshu stared at the newcomer. "It's always been you?"

Wang Shengli failed to get into university and shaved his head. I heard that he had been in jail for fighting and had just been released when he found that Jiang Jingshu was in the limelight.

He certainly couldn't swallow his anger.

"Long time no see, Jiang Jingshu~" Wang Shengli's slightly provocative words came over, and Jiang Jingshu felt disgusted.

Just as Wang Shengli was about to take the money, Jiang Jingshu pulled the box towards herself and said, "Wang Shengli, you'd better think about how to explain this to the police."

Seemingly surprised that Jiang Jingshu had called the police, Wang Shengli spat and said, "You bitch, are you trying to fool me with this trick again? Aren't you tired of it yet?"

Xie Zhijin had already called the police. When the police broke down the door, Wang Shengli reacted quickly. He took out a knife from his pocket, held it to Jiang Jingshu's neck, and glared fiercely at the people in front of him, "Don't move!"

For a moment, no one dared to move, but Jiang Jingshu sneered, "Wang Shengli, it's been years, and you haven't changed at all."

"Shut up, there's a knife to your throat, aren't you afraid?" Wang Shengli glared fiercely at Jiang Jingshu beside him. "Are you really not afraid of ruining your boyfriend's reputation?"

"So what if you expose this? He didn't do anything wrong."

Why do some people use victims' experiences of being victimized to threaten other victims?

Xie Zhijin said, "I'm not that fragile. I've only been beaten up by others for a few years. What's so hard about that? Unlike you, you're the most fragile one."

Wang Shengli did not respond to Xie Zhijin, but said, "You two have been working together like this since high school, messing with me. Fine, you'll both regret it."

Jiang Jingshu was still being held captive by Wang Shengli. The knife had already slightly cut her neck, but she didn't show much expression. Instead, she spoke calmly, "Aren't you going to let me go, Wang Shengli?"

"You wouldn't dare touch me, would you?" Jiang Jingshu sneered. "Just like back in high school, when you humbly apologized to me, do I need to remind you?" Jiang Jingshu whispered in Wang Shengli's ear, "You don't have the guts to touch me at all. You even know what the consequences would be if you did."

Wang Shengli was clearly angered by Jiang Jingshu. "Don't be so naive. You're the one in the most danger right now."

Jiang Jingshu was not afraid of being taken hostage. On the contrary, she seemed to be in control of the whole situation. Even with a knife to her neck, she still had the upper hand.

Wang Shengli's momentum was involuntarily suppressed by Jiang Jingshu. Noticing that Wang Shengli had relaxed for a moment, Xie Zhijin quickly seized the opportunity and kicked Wang Shengli to the ground.

Jiang Jingshu was caught steadily by Xie Zhijin.

Wang Shengli was subdued, and through police questioning, he quickly confessed to being the mastermind behind it all.

Just as Jiang Jingshu had guessed, it was indeed Xiao E who orchestrated it. Wang Shengli, who had just been released from detention, was furious when he saw Jiang Jingshu in the limelight. He initially spread rumors about Jiang Jingshu on the internet, which Xiao E found, so he and Xiao E planned a campaign to attack Jiang Jingshu.
