Si Boye could feel the girl in his arms breathing gradually becoming heavier.
It gradually became stable.
She must be fast asleep.
Although the girl wasn't heavy, the gunshot wounds on her body were actually very painful from being pressed like that.
Ke Si Boye felt no pain. Holding him in his arms like this, he only felt safe and secure.
The usually carefree and easygoing man only dared to lower his head and kiss her earlobe while the girl was fast asleep.
I gave a wry smile.
I once heard a saying: "The most familiar stranger."
Who would have thought that he and Niannian would actually be in this situation now?
It was pouring rain outside.
Just then, a noise came from outside the door.
Si Boye narrowed his eyes, a dangerous glint flashing within them.
He moved his stiff body, picked up the girl who was clinging to him, and stood up. He went into the room and carefully placed her on the soft bed.
He kissed the girl's lips again before straightening up.
Only then did he walk out.
Open the door.
A tall man, soaked to the bone by the storm, stood outside the door.
Seemingly not expecting him to open the door, the other person's deep brown eyes widened in surprise, and his fists clenched involuntarily.
"...It's you. Where is Miss?"
Si Boye's face remained expressionless.
He glanced at the newcomer, his tone laced with a hint of laziness: "You're the one who shot me?"
Jiang Ren looked over. He saw the man's open bathrobe and the bandage wrapped around his chest.
Judging from the technique, it was a young lady who bandaged it.
My heart suddenly ached.
In the young lady's eyes, this man was now just a stranger of unknown origin.
But the young lady actually let him into her house and even bandaged his wound.
Jiang Ren pursed his lips and spoke in silence.
"There's a lot of thunder today, and the young lady might be scared, so I've come to check on her."
Even though he knew there was another man in the apartment, he was still uneasy.
In all those years, on stormy nights, he would silently wait outside the young lady's room. Although the young lady never knew.
"With me here, she won't be afraid."
"And she's asleep now."
Si Boye remained calm and composed.
sleep?
Jiang Ren raised his eyes in disbelief.
He knew that the young lady had severe insomnia.
The young lady herself possesses exceptional medical skills, yet she cannot cure her own insomnia. Even with sleeping pills, she finds it difficult to fall asleep.
"If you have any doubts, come in and take a look?"
Si Boye raised an eyebrow.
Jiang Ren did have doubts.
He even wondered if the man had done something to the prostitute.
Looking through the open door, he could see that the girl was indeed asleep in bed, her chest rising and falling with even breathing, as if she were in a deep sleep.
Jiang Ren couldn't help but take a deep breath and then slowly exhale.
Finally, he closed his eyes and exited.
"He won't let you take the young lady away."
Jiang Ren remained silent.
They all knew who "he" referred to.
Si Boye smirked.
"Then what can he do? Find a way to have me killed?"
Si Boye didn't seem to care.
It even carried a hint of mockery.
"If he kills me, he'd better also brainwash Niannian for the rest of her life, so that she never has to remember anything about me."
"Otherwise, if one day you remember something or learn the truth from someone else, you will be in trouble."
"Then he will be the person Nian Nian hates the most in her life, the person she would rather die than not kill. There will be no room for maneuver."
Although Si Boye had never met Lu Zhaokun, he roughly knew what kind of person he was based on Nian Nian's previous description.
Lu Zhaokun must know better than anyone that brainwashing is only temporary.
He was just deceiving himself. He wanted to use this method to keep people by his side temporarily.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Ren gave the man in front of him a deep look before finally looking away.
He roughly understood why the young lady had fallen for this man.
Although the bullet wasn't aimed at the man's heart, it was still an extremely dangerous and fatal wound.
But this Si Boye, who was pulled back from the brink of death, only lay in bed for three days before flying across the ocean with his injuries.
Even though he already knew that Lu Zhaokun was still alive, he still dared to come to the territory controlled by Shenyin. He was truly fearless.
Moreover, even if they were to find her, they wouldn't come to the woman who has lost her memory and tell her how much they once loved each other.
The young lady forgot about him, so he reappeared as a stranger and came back to her side.
Just think about it, and you'll know how much pain and forbearance one has to endure when faced with the distant and unfamiliar gaze of their loved one.
Jiang Ren took half a step back, then turned and left.
*
The next day, early morning.
When Jiang Nian opened her eyes, she felt a warmth behind her that didn't belong to her.
She turned her head and saw the man still fast asleep. His strong arms held her tightly in his embrace, and his warm breath brushed against her neck.
Her body temperature was cooler than hers.
Only one spot was very hot.
The temperature and size are impossible to ignore.
It took Jiang Nian two seconds to process what had happened before her brain, which had been frozen, started working again.
Her body jerked. Almost reflexively, she kicked the man off the bed.
"Ouch...it hurts so much."
The man who was kicked to the ground regained consciousness, but instantly showed a pained expression.
He raised his hand to cover his chest.
"you……"
Jiang Nian then remembered that the other person had gunshot wounds.
She instinctively got out of bed and immediately pulled open the man's robe to check.
