"Actually, you can run by yourself. You broke their rules, and I have a gold card so they won't touch me," said Chen Wenxuan. She was wearing high heels and couldn't run at all, and she even implicated Ye Ruoliu.
"Take care." Ye Ruoliu immediately let go of her hand after hearing that.
The livestream hasn't been shut down yet, and it's already causing quite a stir online. The police are coming soon, and all she needs to do now is buy time.
As expected, the police sealed off the place.
The internet was already abuzz with the news. When Ye Ruoliu finished her statement and returned home with Li Chuanze, her head was still buzzing. She leaned against the car window in silence, glancing at Li Chuanze from time to time.
Li Chuanze remained silent, closing his eyes to rest.
His fingers trembled slightly and were placed on his knees, as if he was enduring it.
"Li Chuanze, what's wrong with you?" Ye Ruoliu asked. As soon as her hand touched Li Chuanze's lower abdomen, she felt an unusual warmth and dampness through the thin shirt. Her heart sank. The body beneath her fingers remained curled up and motionless.
Li Chuanze grabbed her hand, his voice a little hoarse with suppressed emotion.
He still had his eyes closed and his brows furrowed.
"Are you hurt?" Ye Ruoliu's voice rose, and her previous fatigue was washed away by worry.
She ignored Li Chuanze's obstruction and directly lifted the hem of his shirt.
His right waist and abdomen were haphazardly wrapped in thick gauze, and deep red blood was seeping out. "You're wearing a black shirt. If you were wearing white, you would have died long ago..." Ye Ruoliu's voice trembled as she anxiously asked, "What happened? Who did it? When did it happen?"
Li Chuanze took a deep breath: "It's okay, don't worry." He said lightly, and seeing Ye Ruoliu's anxious and flustered look, Li Chuanze gently pulled the corner of his mouth: "Don't worry, listen to me.
I don’t know who picked up your phone, and the other party used your phone to call me directly.
When I was meeting her, she accidentally stabbed me. He paused, as if catching the wound, his brow furrowed again. "But the police quickly apprehended her. I gave her a quick bandage and then came back to find you."
Ye Ruoliu felt a surge of bitterness in her heart: "If I hadn't gone to meet this online friend, you would have been fine. Are you stupid? You knew the phone wasn't mine, and you still went over there?"
Li Chuanze smiled helplessly: "Of course I know, but I have to see it with my own eyes to know whether you are safe. When I saw you there, I..."
Li Chuanze originally wanted to send Ye Ruoliu home first and then rush to the hospital, but Ye Ruoliu strongly protested, so the two rushed to the hospital again.
Fortunately, the wound was not deep, but the doctor still required Li Chuanze to stay in the hospital for a week of observation. In the hospital, the VIP ward where Li Chuanze stayed was warm and elegant, like a small bedroom.
Ye Ruoliu sat aside, working on her laptop. She hadn't taken care of the company's affairs for a long time.
"Warning host, you haven't touched Li Chuanze for 30 minutes. You will be punished. Please complete the task immediately."
Ye Ruoliu skillfully stood up from the chair and walked to Li Chuanze's bed.
He was half-leaning against the headboard, reading a financial magazine. The warm yellow light highlighted his sharp, slightly pale features. Ye Ruoliu reached out a finger and quietly tapped his forearm, which was exposed outside the quilt. "Mission accomplished." The voice in her head faded, and Ye Ruoliu turned back to her chair.
"Wait a minute." Li Chuanze put down the magazine and looked at her with a smile. "Four times in two hours. Do I have a start button installed? I have to press it every hour, because they're afraid I'll be on standby too long and it'll shut down automatically?" His sudden teasing caught Ye Ruoliu off guard, making her ears blush slightly. It was all because of this damn system task.
After Li Chuanze's condition stabilized, the two returned home.
Li Chuanze's injury cannot be touched by water, so he can only wipe his body with a towel.
Every time, Li Chuanze would ask Ye Ruoliu to wipe him, using the excuse that he couldn't reach his back. Ye Ruoliu looked at the naked man in front of her, feeling somewhat at a loss.
She soaked the towel in warm water, wrung it out with both hands, and then dropped the steamy towel onto Li Chuanze's back. She slowed down her pressure and slowly wiped the warm towel against the man's skin.
Li Chuanze's broad shoulders and narrow waist were particularly striking. "Haven't you eaten yet, Mr. Ye?" Li Chuanze's voice sagged lazily. He had just showered, and his body carried a faint scent of roses. Ye Ruoliu hummed, then exerted a little force on her wrist, losing her grip and letting the towel rub against Li Chuanze's wound. He hissed softly.
Ye Ruoliu looked at the red, scabby, and already bulging wound, and chuckled sheepishly. "Did you do that on purpose?" Li Chuanze asked. Ye Ruoliu immediately replied, "No, I didn't." Her voice rose, and she met Li Chuanze's playful gaze, and she couldn't help but smile again.
The towel was still on Li Chuanze's shoulders, and Ye Ruoliu's fingertips were still on his waist, not daring to retract them. Her fingertips were stained with a little warm water vapor, and when they touched Li Chuanze's body, it was like touching boiling water.
Ye Ruoliu's throat tightened. She had to admit that wiping Li Chuanze was indeed a very ambiguous act. Her fingertips brushed across Li Chuanze's skin, moved down half an inch, and carefully wiped his back clean.
She wiped the nonexistent sweat from her forehead and looked at her "achievements" with satisfaction, admiring her masterpiece like a cleaner. "What are you looking at?" Li Chuanze's voice fell, with a hint of a smile. Ye Ruoliu didn't say anything, only her eyes fell on Li Chuanze's crotch.
"How bad, Mr. Ye."
~~
A dreamless night.
Ye Ruoliu's online popularity was beyond her wildest dreams. Since the last incident, she's gained millions of followers, and even had many well-known directors approach her to star in movies.
Ye Ruoliu herself was half a screenwriter, so naturally she disdained their kind invitation.
Liang Yuwei, on the other hand, has been in much better shape recently and accepted a script in which she plays the second female lead. The script features a pair of twin sisters, and Liang Yuwei insisted on dragging Ye Ruoliu along to act in it.
Ye Ruoliu declined, citing her busy schedule. Unexpectedly, while browsing her company's contracts, she saw the investment for this drama and became interested. However, she didn't agree to let Liang Yuwei play the twin sisters, instead opting for a minor supporting role.
…
Ye Ruoliu walked out of the bedroom and was about to pour a glass of water when she saw Li Chuanze lying on the sofa in the living room. He was wearing pink pajamas, with a facial mask on his face, and was talking on the phone.
It seems like he is going to attend a class reunion.
After Li Chuanze hung up the phone, Ye Ruoliu happened to be standing behind him. He peeled off the mask on his face, revealing his precious face: "Tomorrow night, there's a reunion with old classmates, do you want to go?" Ye Ruoliu wanted to refuse, but this was Li Chuanze's first invitation, so she changed her mind and said "yes".
In the evening, Ye Ruoliu wore a simple light pink dress, and the two of them went all the way. They attended an international high school, and most of their classmates were from the same circle.
In fact, Ye Ruoliu was still quite afraid of seeing that person this time, but if nothing unexpected happened, she should be abroad now and should not have returned to China.
The party was booked at a star-rated hotel. As soon as Ye Ruoliu and Li Chuanze entered and showed their membership cards, a waiter immediately greeted them.
The two of them arrived neither too early nor too late, but the private room was still full, leaving only room for the two of them. "Come over?" Someone noticed them and immediately said, "Old classmate, it's really not easy to treat you two. I'll make you drink two glasses first." Li Chuanze naturally took Ye Ruoliu's hand, and the two of them sat down.
Ye Ruoliu glanced around, realizing what she feared had come true. "Aze, long time no see." The voice was gentle, as if it were soft and soft on cotton. A woman in an apricot dress, with long hair draped over her shoulders and delicate features, sat neatly on a chair.
"A Liu, long time no see." After she greeted Li Chuanze, she didn't forget to greet Ye Ruoliu. Ye Ruoliu nodded and felt Li Chuanze's hand tighten for a moment. "Su Wan, you're back?"
"Yes, Aze. It's been two months since I came back." Su Wan replied with a faint smile.
Li Chuanze nodded without saying anything more, and Ye Ruoliu and the other person took their seats.
"It's a rare sight! We're all here, everyone." Someone stood up. It turned out to be Wang Heng, the high school monitor. He was tall and strong, his skin now sallow, and he always wore a smile. After graduating from high school, he attended a prestigious university and worked in City A, living a life of hardship.
Even though they were in the same city, they had never met each other.
"Come on, let's have a drink first." After the squad leader finished speaking, everyone stood up tactfully, picked up the wine glasses on the table and took a sip.
The purpose of a party is to chat.
Even though there was a person between Li Chuanze and Su Wan, they still started chatting.
Later, the person in the middle felt a little embarrassed, so he stood up and exchanged seats with Su Wan.
"How have you been these years?" Su Wan asked in a flat voice with a hint of aftertaste as she drank the red wine in the glass.
"Very good." Li Chuanze's tone was still flat, just like usual.
"A Liu, are you still blaming me? Then I'll apologize to you." Su Wan poured herself another glass of wine and took a sip. Li Chuanze frowned at her and snatched the glass from her hand.
"Su Wan, that's enough. If you drink any more, you'll get drunk."
Ye Ruoliu looked at the drunk Su Wan and sighed softly.
She felt a little tired, so she said something to Li Chuanze and went out. She walked into the bathroom and scooped up some cold water to pour on her face.
Her mind raced, switching back and forth between the present and past memories. She leaned against the wall for a long time and asked, "System, what is his impression of me?"
[Reporting to you, as of now, Li Chuanze's favorability towards you is 62%, and the current growth rate is slow.]
After listening to this, Ye Ruoliu no longer had the doubts she had before, but she looked dazed, as if she had returned to high school.
