Song Sichen approached, and Shi Ran instinctively stepped back and closed her eyes. After taking two steps back, her heel was caught on something, and her body swayed.
Then, in the next moment, Shi Ran felt a strong arm grabbing his waist.
"Shi Ran!"
When he heard the voice next to his ear, Shi Ran opened his eyes unconsciously.
Before my eyes, I saw black hair still dripping with water and vivid pupils.
Song Sichen said in a low voice with a slightly frown.
"It's dangerous, be careful."
Shi Ran couldn't help but swallow and think.
The most dangerous person here now is Song Sichen.
Plop, plop.
My heart is beating wildly.
Shi Ran held his breath and stared at Song Sichen in front of him.
Pushing her wet hair back, the shadows on her face in the moonlight made her facial features appear more three-dimensional.
"Shi Ran."
Song Sichen called her name, which brought her back to her senses. She pushed Song Sichen away, stood up straight, and bit her lips unconsciously.
Before she could answer, Song Sichen raised his hand. Maybe it was because he had been in the water, but his hand was a little cold. He gently touched Shi Ran's cheek.
"I seem to have a slight fever."
The fever is not caused by a cold.
"I'm fine."
"Is your cold better?"
"I feel much better after a good sleep."
Although I don't know what he was doing just now, the water seemed dirty after the rain, so he probably wasn't taking a shower.
My eyes slowly moved down from his face to see some small wounds on his chest. They were not completely small, some of them looked very deep.
"What... is this? What are these wounds?"
Song Sichen's broad chest and back were covered with marks.
"It's not a wound, it's a scar."
"Why so many?"
Song Sichen has many earthworm-like scars on his body.
"When you're out there by yourself, these things are inevitable."
Song Sichen said disapprovingly.
"Is someone bullying you?"
Shi Ran asked angrily.
"It's okay."
He still had that expression as if nothing had happened, but his tone was gentle.
"Who are the ones who bullied you?"
Shi Ran asked relentlessly.
"I don't know either."
"Isn't he from the academy?"
“Sometimes there are sudden attacks.”
I remembered what Song Sichen said before.
Shi Ran stared at Song Sichen in front of him, feeling an indescribable feeling in his heart.
She intervened in Song Sichen's childhood life and created a better environment, but that didn't mean everything became easy.
His life, like his previous life, was full of dangers.
Just like the deep scar left here.
Shi Ran put his hand on the uneven wound.
"It must be painful."
Her voice was not loud, but it was clearly audible.
The tragic scene of the day when I was injured seemed to appear before my eyes.
But as soon as Shi Ran's hand touched his waist, something changed. Song Sichen's body shrank and his stomach became tense.
The muscles are compact like blocks.
Song Sichen's body temperature, felt through my fingertips, became hotter.
Not to mention, these abdominal muscles made Shi Ran even more reluctant to let go.
Song Sichen seemed to be enduring something, clenching his fists, revealing his arms with muscular veins.
He has indeed grown up and matured a lot.
Shi Ran didn't notice any of this, her eyes fixed on the wounds on his body, as if she were the one injured and could only imagine how painful it was. Filled with anger, she looked up at Song Sichen with a hint of pity in her eyes.
The only sounds around were water and cicadas.
Song Sichen's chest heaved violently as he looked down at Shi Ran, his long eyelids fluttering.
That moment.
Only then did Shi Ran notice how seductive this action was.
She quickly withdrew her hand, avoided his gaze, and was about to leave, but Song Sichen grabbed her wrist.
"What's wrong?"
Shi Ran blinked and asked.
"Let's go back together."
After saying this, Song Sichen turned around, took down the clothes hanging on the tree, and held them in his arms.
Seeing that he was still shirtless, I couldn't help but ask, "Aren't you going to change before going back?"
Song Sichen nodded and handed the clothes to Shi Ran.
I didn't ask, but I knew what it meant. I took it and watched Song Sichen put on his clothes.
"Let's go."
After putting on his clothes, Song Sichen took Shi Ran's hand and walked back together.
Walking in the forest, the moonlight shines through the gaps between the trees onto the two people, holding hands, and the temperature of each other's bodies is like a stove.
For some reason, the atmosphere around the two people was weird.
"Shi Ran."
After walking for a while, Song Sichen finally spoke.
"Um."
"You have a fever. Rest well tomorrow."
"I'm fine."
Projects are more important, and for Shi Ran, the Xicheng plan is the most important.
"How's Grandpa doing?"
"Same as before, still unconscious."
"It's okay. It'll be fine."
Shi Ran smiled with relief and replied, "I know."
In fact, she couldn't be sure at all. According to the timeline of her previous life, now was the time when her grandfather was sick and about to die. Although it had changed, Shi Ran couldn't guarantee that her grandfather would be fine and wake up.
All she can do for her grandfather now is to protect the Shi family.
Before they knew it, the two had walked out of the forest. Before entering the room, Song Sichen let go of Shi Ran's hand.
"Have a good rest, good night."
"Good night."
