Several young men stood not far away, watching the situation in front of them. They seemed to be unable to react and were a little dazed.
There was deathly silence all around.
Shen Yinan’s body stiffened instantly.
He clearly didn't do anything, but he didn't dare to meet everyone's gaze.
Nie Zaixi came over, checked Shen Yinan's arm up and down, and said repeatedly: "It's okay, it's okay, Brother Yinan, you are not hurt, right? Is everything okay?"
The burns on his hands were more obvious because of the movement.
"Xixi, are you holding it loose?" Guan Gaojun reacted, stepped forward quickly, and carefully examined his wound. "Let me see."
"I'm fine, just don't blame Brother Yinan. He probably didn't do it on purpose." Nie Zaixi retracted his hand.
His voice was low, but loud enough for everyone present to hear.
Guan Gaojun said, "You're injured. I'll take you to get some medicine."
"But the bowl is broken..."
Nie Zaixi avoided Guan Gaojun's hand and lowered his head to pick up the porcelain bowl that had fallen to the ground.
The bowl had already broken, and when he saw that he was about to touch the sharp-edged ceramic fragments, Shen Yinan moved his toes and kicked the fragments away.
“Don’t touch it if you’re hurt.” No emotion could be heard in Shen Yinan’s tone.
Nie Zaixi pursed his lips and was about to speak when Guan Gaojun said, "Xixi, I know you like cleanliness. Just sweep this up later. Your wound is more important."
Nie Zaixi choked and looked at Shen Yinan cautiously: “But…”
He wanted to say something, but before he could even get his words out, Guan Gaojun half-carried him away, "Don't say but, you're a male star, you can't have scars!"
Nie Zaixi's gaze passed through the gap in her boyfriend's arms and fell on the face of the person behind her, and her lips curled up slightly in an invisible place.
After they left, Shen Yinan’s drooping eyelashes trembled.
He didn't dare look back to see other people's expressions. Just as he was about to turn around and leave, someone stopped in front of him and blocked his way.
"Are you okay?"
Looking up, Lu Hongting frowned with worry.
Ana Shen shook his head.
The other person looked at his trouser legs which were stained with burnt porridge particles, pulled out a handkerchief from his pocket, and squatted down without hesitation to wipe it.
With his hand halfway extended, Shen Yinan quickly took a step back to create some distance.
“Thank you, I’m fine.” Shen Yinan was frightened by his sudden action.
He was not familiar with Lu Hongting at all, so how could he let him wipe his trouser legs?
Lu Hongting said: "Mr. Xue and Miss Xue are talking about something now, so it's my responsibility to help take care of you."
His expression was natural, which made Shen Yinan seem too reserved.
Just as she was about to refuse, Lu Zhi's voice came from far away: "Sister-in-law, move aside! I'll do it, I'll do it!"
He was seen holding a broom in one hand and a dustpan in the other, rushing in between the two of them and sweeping away the leftovers and debris on the ground in two or three strokes.
He cast a glance to the side, and immediately a brother came to take over with a mop.
In less than a second, Shen Yinan and Lu Hongting were pushed far away and had no chance to speak.
The ground was quickly swept clean.
Lu Zhi asked for credit: "How about it, sister-in-law, my sweeping skills are pretty good, right?"
After witnessing the scene just now, he actually smiled at himself, and Shen Yinan nodded in surprise.
Someone on the side hooked Lu Zhi's neck with one hand and greeted Shen Yinan enthusiastically: "Let's go, sister-in-law, the barbecue grill is set up, let's get something to eat!"
He sighed to Lu Zhi again, "Brother Huaizhi is such a handsome guy, why is his cooking so... well, it's tasteless and bland!"
"How can you talk like that? Isn't what you cook yourself disgusting too?"
Lu Zhi elbowed him and turned around to find Shen Yinan following them slowly. He lowered his head, not knowing what he was thinking, and raised his hand to snap his fingers in front of the other person.
"Let's go!"
Ana Shen reacted and quickened his pace to catch up, but a strange feeling arose in his heart.
These people saw what happened just now, but no one had the slightest intention of condemning him.
Not just in words, there wasn't even a negative look.
It was so reasonable that even Shen Yinan was a little confused.
Just now, he was prepared to be scolded by Guan Gaojun and stared at with condemning eyes by a group of people.
For the first time ever, he even quickly reviewed the scene in his mind and thought of the words to explain it.
He thought that he was Xue Du's boyfriend and Chi Xingyao's younger brother. If he continued to swallow all the grievances as before, it might affect their reputation.
The boy who was used to silence decided to speak out for the truth once.
But... no one blamed him at all?
You know, no matter who the conflict was with in the past, it was always Shen Yinan who was blamed.
The Zhao family, the school, Gu Yan's side, the Shen family...
Shen Yinan was a little uncomfortable with not being misunderstood this time.
He thought about it, and after being pulled to sit down, he still followed his original idea and explained to others that he did not touch Nie Zaixi.
The boy's expression was quite serious, as if he was giving a job report.
Several people looked at each other and said as if it was a matter of course: "We know, you don't need to explain."
This time it was Shen Yinan’s turn to be surprised: “How did you know?”
One boy laughed out loud: "You are not that kind of person!"
The others also nodded in approval.
Although they had not been with Shen Yinan for a long time, they could tell that Shen Yinan was not a person who liked to stir up trouble.
Besides…even if Shen Yinan likes to stir up trouble, what benefit will he get from messing with Nie Zaixi?
Everyone has a motivation for doing things. Who would do something that has no benefit?
