The policeman who was standing guard on the side and was about to take Shen Zeshuo away was stopped by Ji Ci.
"Can you please wait a moment? They may have something to deal with."
The police looked at Ji Ci in surprise, then nodded slowly, "Okay, but not for too long."
Over there, Shen Mingzhu still felt that pouring cold water on him was not enough to vent her anger, so she directly twisted Shen Zeshuo's ears.
"You've become quite capable! You even dared to go to the Hongmen Banquet by yourself! Do you know that you almost couldn't guard the back door?"
"And I almost got implicated!"
"It hurts!" Shen Mingzhu didn't hold back any of her strength, causing Shen Zeshuo to scream in pain.
"Ha! You deserve it!"
However, Shen Mingzhu still let go, crossed her arms over her chest and stared at Shen Zeshuo in a very intimidating manner.
Shen Zeshuo knew that he was in the wrong, so he lowered his head and dared not speak. He also pushed away the assistant's hand that was supporting him.
The scenes just now suddenly appeared in my mind.
In fact, he regained some consciousness after vomiting, but his body seemed out of control at the time and he couldn't even open his eyes.
When Shen Mingzhu tried hard to help him escape but almost got killed, he almost went crazy.
But he was helpless and even became a burden to Shen Mingzhu.
Seeing his head getting lower and lower, Shen Mingzhu reached out to hold him up, but then she hit him hard on the head with her other hand.
The tone he spoke was extremely fierce, "Idiot! Can't you let someone help you when you can't stand steadily?"
Shen Zeshuo hugged Shen Mingzhu, and in a moment, tears burst out.
He said sorry over and over again in a choked voice.
Obviously the original purpose was to become stronger and protect her.
Now he needs her to protect himself, and he almost hurt her.
Shen Mingzhu struggled to push Shen Zeshuo away, and upon seeing this, the assistant also stepped forward to pull Shen Zeshuo away.
Looking at her wet clothes and then at Shen Zeshuo's tearful face, Shen Mingzhu swung her arm and slapped him hard in the face.
The crisp sound could be heard throughout the corridor.
Ji Ci, who had his back to them, couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
Then came the sound of Shen Mingzhu gritting her teeth.
"What are you crazy about! I didn't even cry, why are you crying? If you really can't stand it, you shouldn't have done it in the first place."
"If you dare to do something, you should have thought of all the consequences, instead of being like this now. Do you think you will be so lucky every time to meet a fool who will risk his life to save you? You are dreaming!"
"I'm sorry, if it's useful, why do we need the police? Stand up straight and don't let me look down on you!"
Shen Zeshuo stared at Shen Mingzhu with dull eyes, opened his mouth and whispered, "I'm not..."
But before he could explain, he was interrupted by Shen Mingzhu.
"What is it? You dare not admit it? Or do you want to gain sympathy by your pitiful appearance? You really make me sick!"
Shen Mingzhu turned around angrily and strode away. When she passed by Ji Ci, she stopped and looked at Ji Ci, "Ji Ci, let's go, ignore him!"
"I'm really sick! I heard he was in trouble and I came to help him without caring about anything. What happened? It's better to let him fend for himself. I'm meddling in other people's business. If you like being someone else's canary, then just do it! If I continue to care about him, I'm a jerk!"
Shen Mingzhu's words and thoughts left Shen Zeshuo speechless.
But as he looked at her receding back, he swallowed the explanation on his lips.
In fact, what he wanted to say was that he was not sad because he was afraid of something happening, but he was crying because he couldn't protect Shen Mingzhu.
Rather than being cowardly and afraid of something happening.
But it didn't matter that she had misunderstood for now, at least she wouldn't take the risk of almost getting hurt by saving herself.
If Ji Ci hadn't appeared in time today, the consequences would have been disastrous.
Under the premise that he is unable to protect her, staying away from her is also a way to protect her.
However, if Shen Mingzhu knew that Shen Zeshuo thought this way, he would probably be so angry that he would run back to the frame and slap him in the face!
Ji Ci's appearance was just icing on the cake for her rather than a timely help.
She has never been a delicate flower who sits there and waits for someone to rescue her.
No matter how desperate the moment is, she will never give up looking for ways to save herself.
Perhaps without Ji Ci the price she would have to pay would be more serious, but she would not regret the choice she made.
But Shen Zeshuo was so self-righteous that Shen Mingzhu felt that her selfless dedication was a joke.
Shen Mingzhu walked away angrily for a long distance, and finally squatted down slowly and hugged herself in a place where no one could see her.
She even forgot that Ji Ci was still behind her.
“Aaaaaaaah! Is he sick? Does he think crying can solve the problem?”
"I shouldn't have been so self-indulgent as to help him! But he didn't appreciate it at all! The way he cried made me angry!"
"There is not a single good person in the Shen family! I almost sacrificed myself to save him, but this guy stabbed me in the back. If he had been tougher and kicked that old pervert, I wouldn't be so disgusted!"
"I didn't even cry, why should he cry?"
"Emmmm, if the person I helped was Shuangnian, she would never let me suffer this injustice!"
Shen Mingzhu's voice gradually turned tearful, and her slightly trembling body made Ji Ci's heart tighten.
In fact, after seeing Shen Zeshuo's appearance just now, combined with Shen Mingzhu's current feelings, he could probably piece together the truth.
One thinks the other is cowardly because he is afraid of getting into trouble, and gets angry at him for not fighting back.
One is because he feels sorry for the other person but doesn't understand her well enough, so he hurts her feelings by doing what he thinks is good for her.
Ji Ci knew that this was all a misunderstanding but didn't want to help explain it.
The reason is simple, this misunderstanding arises because neither of them knows each other well enough.
I just happened to be a bystander and was able to see the clues.
But everyone has seen how the Shen family treated Shen Mingzhu in the past. Once she realizes that the Shen family's past harm and today's situation are actually due to their own reasons, it will only make her more painful.
You can't let her look at the scars all over her body and force herself to forgive the abuser, right?
How cruel that would be!
It would be better for her to simply hate the Shen family, so that she has an outlet for her pain. At least she doesn't need to open her almost healed wounds again and again to comfort others by saying that it doesn't hurt anymore.
He also had his own selfish motives. He didn't want Shen Mingzhu to suffer like that.
She who holds an umbrella for others should not get wet.
With determination in his eyes, Ji Ci chose to half-kneel in front of Shen Mingzhu.
The warm and dry hands gently lifted her face and wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes.
Shen Mingzhu was forced to raise her head, her eyes were a little dull, and there was confusion in her red eyes.
Ji Ci gazed deeply into her clear eyes, and finally couldn't help but gently take this slightly trembling body into his arms.
“Don’t be sad for people who don’t deserve it. Your tears should only be shed for happiness.”
The steady and powerful heartbeat brought Shen Mingzhu a strange thrill through their touching bodies.
The heart hidden in her chest couldn't help but be attracted by it.
And with every breath she took, she could smell his unique fragrance, which seemed to have a magical power that could calm her down. Gradually, she closed her eyes.
In just a moment, she seemed to have forgotten all the pain, and only the clear heartbeat in her ears gradually became more in sync.
