In the darkness, a figure rushed over from behind, knocked Lu Deping down in one fell swoop, and stood in front of Lin Minjun.

Hearing Lin Minjun's voice, Yan Li had no time to turn around, because Lu Deping had been struggling, struggling non-stop, crying and shouting: "Let me go! I want to be with Ah Jun! Let me go."

He almost cried and shouted, "Let me go, please, I want to find Ajun."

Alcohol amplified Lu Deping's strength. He rolled over and almost broke free from Yan Li's hand. He climbed up and staggered towards Lin Minjun.

Lin Minjun was shocked when she suddenly saw this scene. She couldn't react at all and just stared blankly at Lu Deping rushing towards her.

The next second, Lu Deping was pulled back by Yan Li at a particularly incredible angle and pressed to the ground again. He was still struggling.

This time Yan Li was not polite and punched Lu Deping with a cold face. Lu Deping lay limp on the ground, motionless.

He didn't turn around, worried that Lin Minjun might be frightened, so he said, "Don't be afraid, Jun, he's not dead, he just fainted temporarily."

Yan Li looked everywhere but couldn't find anything to tie anyone up, so he simply took Lu Deping's belt and tied his hands up, then turned back to look for Lin Minjun.

"Ajun?"

There was nothing in front of me; Lin Minjun was gone.

Yan Li's breathing paused. He looked carefully at the ground in front of him and found Lin Minjun following the clues left on the ground.

The girl curled up in the corner, hugging her knees with her hands and her head buried low, shivering like a frightened little rabbit.

"It's cold. Very cold," he heard the girl say.

Yan Li's heart felt as if someone had grabbed it, and it ached bitterly. He began to hate himself for not coming earlier, and hated himself for letting her face this dangerous situation alone.

Lin Minjun hid in the corner with a cold wall behind her, but she felt a sense of security and pressed her body against the wall.

She now felt empty inside, and her mind kept replaying what Lu Deping had just said, as well as his drunken expression when he came over to her.

Lin Minjun felt like she was in a nightmare that she couldn't get out of. After seeing Yan Lige coming over, she breathed a sigh of relief for a moment, and then she felt cold, extremely cold. She was so cold that she had to find a windless place to curl up.

Lu Deping's words still kept echoing in my mind.

"Who would want a woman who can't have children? Everyone will bully you, secretly despise you, and always look down on you."

"No one wants someone who can't have children, except me."

Lin Minjun has been thinking, does it mean that if I can't have children, I am not worthy of others? Does it mean that I have lost the right to pursue happiness and can't even be considered a normal person?

She wouldn't lie. If she really met someone she liked, she would tell them in advance that she couldn't have children. Whether the other person accepted it or not, she would tell them in advance. If even this didn't work, what else could she do?

She didn't believe it. She knew that Lu Deping said these words just to force her to be with him, so Lin Minjun didn't believe a word of it, but she couldn't control her shaking.

She saw a person standing in front of her, half squatting.

Yan Li said, "I'm sorry, Jun. I'm late. I'm sorry."

Today, the police station came to a difficult case, which took a long time to handle. After get off work, Yan Li rushed here without stopping for a moment. He first went to the school to look around, and found that there was no one at the school gate. He guessed that Lin Minjun couldn't wait, so he left first.

So he went to the store again, but Aunt Cao said she had not come back yet.

Now Yan Li knew something was wrong, and he kept looking for her all the way from school back to the store. Halfway through, he heard Lin Minjun calling for help from a distance, so he immediately abandoned his bicycle and ran over.

But he still arrived too late, which frightened her.

Yan Li wanted to extend his hand but then took it back, saying, "I'm sorry, Jun. It's my fault. Don't be afraid. It's okay now."

Lin Minjun raised her head and blinked. Her eyes were dry and she couldn't shed tears. Her voice was hoarse. "Brother Yanli, I'm so cold. It's so cold here."

She kept shaking, her lips were pale, and her face was as pale as paper.

It was clear that she was so happy when she went to school today. She even told Erwa that the school was organizing an exam today and she wanted to compete with Erwa to see who had a higher score. When she said this, Lin Minjun's expression was particularly vivid and bright, making people unable to take their eyes off her.

Yan Li once again felt like his heart was being grabbed by someone, which was more painful than being stabbed with a knife. This feeling made him at a loss, "Are you cold? Let's go to a place where there is no wind. Come on, follow me, I'll hold you."

He stretched out his hand but did not move forward, fearing that Lin Minjun would be scared by him again.

Yan Lidu felt like he had seen a ghost. He had always been a materialist and was not afraid of ghosts or death. But what frightened him the most was the girl in front of him who was crying out in cold.

Lin Minjun put her hand on Yan Li's arm and felt the distinct muscles under the thin cloth. It felt hard when she leaned against it. No wonder Lu Deping was knocked unconscious by one punch.

The two of them found the entrance of the post office and stopped. There was a small pavilion at the entrance that could temporarily block the wind.

After arriving at the sheltered place, Lin Minjun felt better for a short time, but soon curled up again, crying, "It's still cold, so cold."

The words Lu Deping had just said kept echoing in her mind. The voice was getting louder and louder, and Lin Minjun felt colder and colder. She was so cold that she didn't know what to do, and she was shivering more and more violently.

Lin Minjun's face turned pale and almost transparent. "Cold."

It's not the body that's cold, it's the heart that's cold.

Yan Li unbuttoned his coat without hesitation and soothed her, "Don't worry, I'll put some clothes on you and you won't be cold soon."

However, Lin Minjun was about to cry at this time. She looked up and saw Yan Li standing in front of her like a shield, emitting endless warmth, as if he could block the wind that kept blowing into her heart.

At this moment, Lin Minjun didn't think about anything. She just rushed over, hid in his coat, and curled up in his arms.

Sure enough, she felt much better and didn't feel cold anymore.

Just like a child who has been wronged and tries not to cry at first, but then can't help crying when seeing his parents coming, Lin Minjun couldn't help crying out loud and asked stubbornly: "Brother Yan Li, does it mean that people who can't have children are not worthy of getting married and finding a partner?"

Yan Li felt that the girl in his arms was crying, and her tears soaked through his clothes on his chest.

"No." He said without hesitation.

Yan Li hesitated for a while, then stretched out his hands to hug Lin Minjun weakly, and said in a very affirmative tone, "Ah Jun, people don't have to have children. There is no necessary connection between marriage and having children. Whether you have children or not, you can find someone to marry. You are very good and worthy of anyone."

Lin Minjun raised her head, tears welling up in her eyes, her eye sockets reddening, "Really?"

"Really? Maybe someone has always liked you, so don't doubt yourself because of what others say." Yan Li looked her straight in the eye and said affirmatively: "You are really good. You came to the capital from Yunnan alone, opened your own store, and settled down here. This is already very good."

As he said this, his hands were still patting Lin Minjun's back, again and again.

After filming for a while, Lin Minjun's mood gradually calmed down, but she still felt that this place was eerie and scary. When she stood up, she kept looking outside, fearing that Lu Deping was hiding nearby again and would rush up and drag her away when she was not paying attention.

"Don't be afraid, I've knocked him out." Yan Li's voice was cold, "He won't wake up until tomorrow morning."

Lin Minjun: "But I still feel scared." This has become a psychological shadow.

Yan Li: "If you are afraid, just hold me. I will walk in front of you."

Lin Minjun then pulled up the corner of Yan Li's clothes and followed behind.

After a while, she followed Yan Li back to the place where the incident happened, and saw Lu Deping lying on the ground drunk, snoring, and looking like he was so drunk that he didn't know where he was.

Lin Minjun wanted to kick him twice, but she felt that would dirty her feet. Now she couldn't find any affection for Lu Deping at all. They would be enemies when they met again, and it would never be possible for them to return to their previous relationship, not even as friends.

Seeing Yan Li step forward to help Lu Deping up, Lin Minjun took two steps back and couldn't help asking, "Brother Yan Li, why do you care what he does?"

Yan Li grabbed Lu Deping directly, as if dragging a rag, and said, "Send him to the police station. He will not get away with intercepting female comrades in the middle of the night."

Yan Li dragged Lu Deping all the way over, and Lin Minjun followed behind.

When they arrived at the police station, they were questioned and had their statements taken as usual. However, Lu Deping was so drunk that he could not even open his eyes and did not even know his own last name. A police comrade put a cold towel on him and Lu Deping reluctantly opened his eyes. However, after opening his eyes, he spoke incoherently. One moment he said with a silly smile that he was going to marry Lin Minjun, and the next moment he cried and said that he was dead. Everyone thought that he was drunk.

So Yan Li asked his colleague to take over the case, and he waited for Lin Minjun to finish taking the statement before taking her home.

When we got home, every household in the compound was asleep and it was pitch dark.

Lin Minjun began to feel scared when she saw the darkness in front of her. She tried hard not to tremble, but she couldn't control it at all. Whenever she saw the dark place, she couldn't help but wonder if Lu Deping was hiding in there, ready to come out and grab her at any time.

"Do you want me to take you home?" Yan Li asked.

Lin Minjun: “Yes.”

Yan Li went straight to the back room after entering the room, opened the door for Lin Minjun, watched her lying peacefully on the bed, covered with a quilt, and then prepared to leave.

However, before I could take a step, I suddenly felt someone pulling at the corner of my clothes.

Yan Li turned around and saw Lin Minjun lying on the bed obediently, her eyes red from crying. One hand tightly grasped the corner of his clothes and begged, "Brother Yan Li, please don't leave yet, okay?"
