After a while, Meng Beiyan composed himself before letting go.
Ying Qian's clothes were deeply wrinkled. She bit her lower lip and tugged at the hem of her clothes almost imperceptibly.
His handsome face was still wet with tears. It was quite a sight to see such a tough guy with red eyes. It was a strange and unusual combination.
"I'm sorry..." He bent down and gently stroked Ying Qian's face. His eyes were still tired, but they were filled with tenderness. He had never shown such an expression to anyone else.
Ying Qian is an exception.
"Brother, I'm going to take a shower..." Her voice choked for a moment. Without lingering, she rushed to the bathroom, closed the door, and leaned against it, her thoughts drifting far away.
Shouldn't we find out what happened during this period?
Shouldn't we offer some words of comfort to Meng Beiyan?
Never mind, I'll take a shower first.
After she finished showering and changing her clothes, she came out to find Meng Beiyan already asleep on the sofa.
She sighed, went to her room to get a blanket, and draped it over him. Who was taking care of whom, really?
Seeing the message on her phone reminded her that she had a dinner appointment that evening.
Oh no, I just finished showering, and now I have to go out and come back all sweaty.
[Suicide Squad]
A young girl's dream: Longhu Paradise Walk, see you there!
Qianya: Which people are they?
A girl's dream: I thought you were really gone. You, Chen Wenzhi, me, Shen Yun, Xu Tiantian, Wei Ji plus Shen Chang, and maybe a few junior students in the first year of high school.
Qianya: What exactly is the purpose of this meeting?
A girl's dream: Most of them are online friends who meet up in person. The few of us who are close are just there to make up the numbers. And believe it or not, I don't even know the people who organized this gathering! Unbelievable! I don't know any of them!
Qianya: ? ? ?
The girl's dream: It doesn't seem to be from our school, No. 6 Middle School.
Ying Qian sighed, "I really don't understand, I really don't understand... What exactly is their social network like?"
She simply wore a white sweatshirt, skinny jeans, and white sneakers before heading out.
It's already dark.
The city lights have come on again.
At the entrance of the residential compound, she saw a familiar figure from behind. She ran up to the person, covered their eyes, and said childishly, "Guess who I am!"
Without hesitation, the person on the other end coldly replied, "Pig."
"Hey, Chen Wenzhi, could you at least be a little more polite?" Ying Qian moved her hand away and patted him twice, sighing, "I knew I shouldn't have taken a shower when I got home, otherwise I'd be covered in sweat again."
Chen Wenzhi shook his head. "It's just a simple meal, no physical work involved. If I get dirty, I can just take a shower."
"That's all we can do," she said with a wry smile.
The alley behind the residential area is a shortcut. Chen Chang's ex-girlfriend also lived in this area. He once came to teach her how to do math problems and accidentally discovered this alley.
It's not spacious inside, but it's definitely big enough for people to walk around and electric scooters to move around.
Gradually, Chen Wenzhi also learned about this path.
He had mentioned it to Ying Qian before, which is why she insisted on taking this path today.
"Has your brother come back yet?" Chen Wenzhi asked.
"He's back." Ying Qian was about to say something to Meng Beiyan, but then she thought for a moment and asked with a strange smile, "Chen Wenzhi, do you have a crush on my brother? You ask me every day if he's back. So what if he is?"
At this question, Chen Wen was speechless.
"You don't actually have a crush on my brother, do you?" Ying Qian narrowed her eyes and asked, pointing at him.
He was forced to retreat step by step, when suddenly, an electric scooter sped by from not far away.
Because the alley was quite narrow, anyone who didn't dodge would surely die.
The thought flashed through his mind, and he was startled. He grabbed Ying Qian and took a step back, crashing into the rough wall with a thud. The scent of freesia-scented shower gel enveloped him in his arms, a soft, fragrant body in his embrace.
The driver of the electric scooter sped past, his angry shouts carrying far: "Aren't you two blind? Don't you know to give way when there's a car around?"
Ying Qian's index finger was still outstretched, and she was still in shock. When she subconsciously pulled it back, her knuckle poked Chen Wenzhi's chest. Her face turned bright red instantly, and the blood under her skin seemed to boil.
Anyway, she wouldn't lose out, she thought. She looked up and saw Chen Wenzhi's surprised expression. In response, she buried her head in his chest, her fluffy hair brushing against his collarbone.
"Ying Qian, let go..." He uttered a few words through his disordered breathing.
Ying Qian did as instructed, only to discover that the hand that had been supporting his back was bleeding from its knuckles and the back of his hand, with some wall plaster stuck to the curled skin.
I didn't feel anything when I bumped into it, but now that I see the wound, I feel a piercing pain. The slight gust of wind feels like a knife cutting into the wound again.
She opened her mouth to ask about Chen Wenzhi's situation.
After all, the situation was sudden, and he bumped into us so violently that we didn't even know if he had hit anything.
Fortunately, Chen Wenzhi only bumped his shoulder blade, but he was still in so much pain that he frowned.
"Are you alright?" she asked anxiously.
Chen Wenzhi shook his head, his gaze shifting to her watery eyes, the corners of her eyes red, as if she was about to cry. He froze for a few seconds, his Adam's apple bobbing a few times.
Seeing that he seemed dazed, she quickly said, "Did you get stunned after the accident? Why aren't you saying anything?"
“Fool…” He moved his shoulders, grabbed Ying Qian’s hand, and murmured softly.
"What are you muttering about?" Ying Qian pouted, resting her forehead on his shoulder, and said nonchalantly, "If you want to call me stupid behind my back, just say so..."
Her expression was serious, as if she genuinely thought that calling him a "fool" was a derogatory term.
Chen Wenzhi laughed so hard his chest heaved. He grabbed her wrist and said with a laugh, "Fine, then I'll just say it directly. You're such a fool. Do I need you to block me?"
Looks like he wasn't mentally impaired after the accident...
"Tch, tch, tch!" She tried to pull her hand back, her body completely free from the embrace, and weakly explained, "It was just an unconscious action! Do you understand?"
Chen Wenzhi let go of her hand. After she turned around, Chen Wenzhi took a step forward and grabbed her again. His phoenix eyes were filled with emotion, and the hidden emotions in the depths of his eyes seemed about to pour out.
He blinked, his complicated emotions vanishing, and his thin lips parted slightly: "Rinse it with water when you get there."
"..." Ying Qian witnessed the change in his expression.
She wondered to herself: Could it be that Chen Wenzhi has something on his mind? Or is he just a wolf in sheep's clothing?
