He Tiantian was woken up in the middle of the night by the urge to urinate. She looked at Shen Yizhou, who was resting on the sofa with his eyes closed. Why hadn't she heard him come back?
She reached out and realized she was still covered with a blanket! Had Shen Yizhou put it on her? Without thinking, she ran to the toilet and sat on the toilet seat; she was about to burst.
After she finished, she went to the sink to wash her hands, and when she looked up, she saw Zhang Liwen staring at her with her head covered in blood.
He Tiantian screamed in fright. Shen Yizhou woke up after hearing the sound. He strode to the bathroom, opened the door, and saw He Tiantian squatting on the ground with her head in her hands.
"What's wrong, He Tiantian?" Shen Yizhou pulled up He Tiantian, who was squatting on the ground trembling.
"I saw Zhang Liwen, sob sob sob, her face was covered in blood, she was standing in the bathtub looking at me." He Tiantian cried as she snuggled into Shen Yizhou's arms.
Shen Yizhou gently patted her back, thinking that today's scene must have traumatized her.
After crying for a few minutes, He Tiantian calmed down, and Shen Yizhou led her out of the bathroom and let her sit on the bed to rest.
"Are you feeling better? If you are, go back to sleep for a while. It'll be dawn soon." Shen Yizhou handed a glass of water to He Tiantian and asked.
He Tiantian nodded, took a sip, handed the cup back to Shen Yizhou, and then pulled the covers up and went back to sleep.
She didn't sleep well in the second half of the night. She would wake up from time to time to check if Shen Yizhou was still in the room. Only when she saw that he was still sitting on the sofa could she fall asleep again.
When Shen Yizhou opened his eyes, it was already dawn. He gently shook He Tiantian awake.
"He Tiantian, wake up, go eat something and then come back to sleep." Shen Yizhou patiently called to He Tiantian.
He Tiantian nodded, quickly got up and went to the toilet to wash up. Her head was still a little dizzy. After washing up, she came out of the toilet and saw Shen Yizhou writing something on his desk.
"I'm all done, Brother Zhou, you should go wash up too," He Tiantian said, looking curiously at what he had written.
Shen Yizhou nodded and got up to go to the restroom. He Tiantian sat in a chair and watched Shen Yizhou write something, but she couldn't understand it.
It looks like something like a roadmap.
She glanced at it a few times but didn't understand, so she simply stopped looking. She drew back the curtains, and downstairs it was already quiet again, and the sun was shining brightly outside.
Shen Yizhou came out of the restroom and saw He Tiantian looking outside.
"Let's go out to eat," Shen Yizhou said to He Tiantian.
"Great! What kind of food is available outside? Do you have zha jiang mian (noodles with soybean paste)?" He Tiantian was instantly delighted.
Shen Yizhou led He Tiantian out of the restaurant and into a small alley, turning left and right until they arrived at a breakfast shop.
"Boss, one bowl of noodles with minced meat sauce, one fried dough stick, and one cup of soy milk." After ordering, Shen Yizhou led He Tiantian to a seat.
He Tiantian looked around at everyone, feeling very excited! Everything here was new and exciting to her.
There were also vendors selling candied hawthorns on the street, and He Tiantian was a little tempted. She secretly glanced at Shen Yizhou.
"Brother Zhou, can I have a candied hawthorn later?" He Tiantian looked at Shen Yizhou expectantly.
"Okay, I'll go buy some more after I finish my noodles." Shen Yizhou was a little helpless; how did he end up with such a glutton?
Breakfast arrived shortly afterward, and He Tiantian picked up her chopsticks and started eating. She finished it in no time, then pouted, feeling that she had eaten too fast and hadn't even tasted the flavor yet.
Shen Yizhou was somewhat stunned by the speed at which she ate. Was this the speed a young girl should be moving? It was too fast...
"Brother Zhou! I'm done eating! Let's go buy some candied hawthorns!" He Tiantian looked at Shen Yizhou with a grin, like a child begging for snacks.
Shen Yizhou sighed and rubbed his forehead in exasperation. What a difficult child to please. He quickly finished his soy milk, paid the bill from the owner, and then took He Tiantian to buy candied hawthorns.
"Uncle, I want two candied hawthorns," He Tiantian said excitedly.
"Can you eat two, little girl?" the uncle asked He Tiantian.
"I'm fine with you, Uncle! Don't worry about me." He Tiantian proudly raised her chin.
After Shen Yizhou paid, He Tiantian happily walked down the street with two candied hawthorns in her hand. By the time they returned to the restaurant, it was almost 9:50.
Shen Yizhou took He Tiantian to the stage again. He told He Tiantian to sit in her seat and wait for him, and not to wander off. He said he would be right back.
He Tiantian didn't want to go near the stage anymore, so she sat on a chair eating candied hawthorn.
Shen Yizhou strode onto the stage. He looked at the floor as if searching for something. Suddenly, two men walked out from behind the red curtain.
Shen Yizhou looked up and recognized the two people he had hit. He turned around warily to look at He Tiantian, thankfully there was no one there.
"Hmph, we finally caught you." The man in black said, then threw a punch at Shen Yizhou.
Shen Yizhou dodged the punch and retaliated by punching the man in black. The man in white next to him saw his teammate being hit and rushed up to punch Shen Yizhou without thinking.
He Tiantian was stunned when she saw the people who suddenly appeared. She didn't know where these two black and white demons came from.
She watched as Shen Yizhou fought two against one, and she became anxious, but she didn't dare to step forward to help, afraid that she would only make things worse for him. She could only stand by and worry.
Shen Yizhou easily dodged their attacks. He pushed them both off the stage and beat them up. He didn't want to ruin the clues because of these two idiots.
Soon, the two men were exhausted. They were panting heavily and their faces were bruised. In comparison, Shen Yizhou was very relaxed. He didn't even pant.
Seeing this, He Tiantian suddenly realized that her worries were useless, and she sat back down in her chair.
