Otherwise, there would be no food for school.

Wandering the streets in pajamas.

The night in Haicheng was brightly lit. Most office building employees hadn't left work yet. Cars and people were coming and going. He walked aimlessly, feeling a little tired.

I was just hoping to get a good night's sleep, but who knew this would happen.

With nowhere to go, I thought of Wenzhuo.

I want to go, but I'm too embarrassed.

After the numbness on my face subsided, only pain remained. I decided to go to the pharmacy and buy a mask. I put it on to cover myself properly and headed to Dusk. I hesitated at the entrance, not daring to go in, when a flashy red sports car drove past me.

It stopped on the street opposite him.

The boy got out of the driver's seat, wearing sunglasses late at night, with a cocky attitude and a cigarette in his mouth. A tall, fair-skinned beauty got out of the passenger seat, dressed very scantily, and snuggled into her boyfriend's arms as soon as she got out of the car.

Preface by Chen.

Not surprising.

After all, the biggest bar in Haicheng is right across the street, so it's normal for Chen Xu to come here. Nan Yu doesn't understand, does Lin's mother really not care at all?

Even if I feel guilty towards my son, I can't just let him do whatever he wants.

The Lin family tradition has always prioritized rules and regulations.

At least that's how Nan Yu was educated.

Chen Xu repeatedly challenged the bottom line.

They didn't say anything.

She also wiped his butt every time.

Perhaps it was because he had been staring at her that Chen Xu noticed. He turned his head, and their eyes met. Nan Yu was wearing a mask, so he didn't recognize her.

Chen Xu thought he was envious of his sports car and beautiful women, so he gave him a provocative look. Then another beautiful woman walked over and entered the room with one on each arm.

Nan Yu also looked away.

There were also small tables outside in the twilight.

I was too embarrassed to go in, so I sat outside. My face hurt, and I gasped for breath with my mask on, trying to see how swollen my face was. I took off one side of my mask and used the black screen of my phone to see the reflection in the light of the bar.

The five-finger mark was obvious, and her face was swollen like a steamed bun. She definitely couldn't see Chen Pandi tomorrow. She didn't have a cell phone and couldn't read. Thinking about it too much gave her a headache.

The tavern was bustling with people.

Some people chose to sit inside to drink and chat, while others chatted outside. All the chairs were full, and Nan Yu, worried about taking up a seat, got up and squatted down by the side of the road.

This is a bar street, full of luxury cars and trendy people, the air smells of money. Nan Yu is the only one wearing pajamas, but even with a mask on, his exquisite appearance is still undeniable. He's the type that appeals to both men and women.

A burly man with a thick beard and a round face came over, his voice rough:

"A handsome guy all alone?"

When approached by someone, Nan Yu remained calm and said aloofly, "Waiting for someone."

The man held out his phone to him and smiled, "Let's add each other on WeChat."

Nan Yu: "No."

The man was displeased: "Adding one won't take up much of your space. I can even help you out. It's not comfortable being out in the wind here. Let me take you to a private room for drinks."

Nan Yu: "I have hIV."

The man's expression changed, and he instantly took several steps away, spat in disgust, and turned to leave.

Nan Yu rolled her eyes.

When he tried to chat her up again, he always said he had an IV.

When you're crazy, the world becomes a better place.

After rejecting seven or eight, another one came. As soon as Nan Yu finished speaking about hIV, the man's eyes lit up. He wished he could hug the lamp wick immediately and stick the QR code even closer.

He said, "Me too. We're both patients, how about we hook up?"

Now it was Dengxin's turn to be disgusted. She stood up and moved away from the man, saying, "Are you sick? You have AIDS, why don't you go get treatment instead of coming here to bother people?"

The man retorted, displeased: "Aren't you the same? Who's more noble than whom?"

Nan Yu turned to leave.

The man blocked his way and tried to grab his arm, but Dengxin didn't want to get sick, so he dodged him with a serpentine movement. "Don't touch me, I'm not going on a date."

It's not that he disrespects sick people; the other person is practically taking revenge on society. They know they're sick, but instead of getting proper treatment, they actually want to hang out with other 'sick people'.

Do you think you don't have enough flowers on you?

The man sneered, "What are you pretending to be so high and mighty for?"

"Lin Xun".

A clear, bright voice called out, and Nan Yu grasped at it like a lifeline.

Looking up, the man was wearing a loose white long-sleeved thin shirt, the hem half-tucked in, the crisp lines outlining his broad shoulders and narrow waist. His hair was combed up, revealing a noble, aloof, and stunningly beautiful face. His eyes were dark, seemingly unfathomable, and his aura overwhelmed everyone.

Nan Yu quickly walked over and hid behind Wen Zhuo.

She told the man who approached her, "My friend is here."

The man met Wen Zhuo's calm, expressionless eyes and inexplicably shivered. He wanted to be assertive, but in the end, he left dejectedly.

After the man left, Dengxin breathed a sigh of relief and said to Wenzhuo, "That man said he has AIDS, you have to be careful."

Wen Zhuo held his shoulders and looked him up and down to see if Nan Yu was injured. He saw that Nan Yu's left cheek was red and swollen, his eyes narrowed, and his hand half-clenched to lift the boy's chin, his anger growing.

What happened to her face?

Nan Yu tried to dodge, but the man held her down tightly with his hand, and his angry, deep voice rang out again: "Who hit you?"

The lampwick's eyes flickered, and it answered softly, "My mom."

Wen Zhuo: "When did you get back? Why didn't you send me a message?"

Lampwick: "I didn't want to bother you this afternoon, but I had nowhere else to go..."

It was sweltering outside, and Nan Yu was sweating. Wen Zhuo led her inside, bypassing the crowd. He had renovated the room, demolishing one room and combining them together, making it much larger. He also installed glass windows.

Compared to the previous wood style, the current room has a creamier feel.

The beds are bunk beds with arched designs. They are spacious enough that three people could roll around in them without any problem. The upper bunk also has a railing to prevent people from falling off. With the curtains drawn, it can also be a small room.

The distance between the ground and the roof is high, so the bunk beds won't touch your heads.

A full-wall built-in wardrobe and a desk were installed, with open space in the middle for walking. Wen Zhuo plans to have Nan Yu stay permanently because...

"Would you like to stay upstairs or downstairs?"

Nan Yu: "Above."

Wen Zhuo nodded: "You take a shower first, I'll go get some ice to put on your face."

With a slight dryness in his throat, Deng Xin whispered his thanks: "Thank you."

Nan Yu had already showered, but the summer heat had left her sweaty. She avoided washing her face while showering, and was originally planning to wear her old pajamas when Wen Zhuo knocked on the door.

I handed him a bathrobe.

Nan Yu put on the clothes, tidied herself up, and went out. A bright red handprint was imprinted on her pretty face. The man's eyes were slightly deep. He held a cloth wrapped with ice in his hand, pressed her down into a chair, and carefully applied ice to her face.

As soon as the ice was placed on the ice, Nan Yu gasped and instinctively tried to dodge.

Wen Zhuo let him adjust for a while before reapplying the lamp wick. The wick still tried to pull away, but she resisted. Noticing the man was too close, she felt a little embarrassed and stammered:

"I... I can do it myself."

Wen Zhuo gave him the ice.

He pulled over a stool and sat down next to Nan Yu, staring at the boy.

Nan Yu blushed, embarrassed, and asked, "Why are you looking at me like that?"

He slurred his words, but he didn't realize it himself.

Wen Zhuo smiled and said, "Your school will be starting soon, right?"

Nan Yu: "The day after tomorrow."

Wen Zhuo: "In Haicheng?"

Nan Yu: "Baigang District, it's not very far."

Wen Zhuo: "Do you have a lot of classes?"
