(256)
"What do you want from me?" Ye Wenyu asked, her head down, not wanting to face Jiang Zhiming. The two of them were now in vastly different circumstances, like heaven and earth, and she was the one in worse shape.
She was extremely unwilling, wondering if it was really a mistake for her to make completely different choices in this life, after being reborn. Jiang Zhiming, who made the same choices as in her previous life, was clearly living a better life than her.
Jiang Zhiming's existence seems to mock her rebirth and the choices she made.
In just a quick glance, I noticed that he was wearing Nike sneakers and a watch worth at least tens of thousands of yuan. He was a completely different person from the Jiang Zhiming who used to sway back and forth in an oversized suit, extremely insecure.
Jiang Zhiming has undergone a complete transformation and a complete rebirth.
"Your foot is injured?" Jiang Zhiming stepped forward, squatted down in front of Ye Wenyu, and looked at her bleeding little foot with concern.
Ye Wenyu instinctively shrank back, frantically covering her feet with her hands, and stammered, "It's nothing, it's nothing, just a minor injury."
The two were now very close. Although he was squatting on the ground, he was almost the same height as her, who was sitting on the steps. In a hurry, she glanced at him and noticed that his skin was much fairer than before, and he had gained some weight on his face and body, making him look healthier and better-looking. In addition, there was calmness and confidence in his eyes. He was no longer the poor college student who looked pale and was extremely arrogant yet insecure.
Wealth can truly transform a person completely, from head to toe. As the old saying goes, "A suitable place to live is suitable for one's body, and a suitable environment to cultivate one's spirit is suitable for one's health." The environment has a tremendous impact on a person.
If you don't look closely now, you can hardly see any trace of his original family in Jiang Zhiming. His transformation is too successful!
She felt a pang of bitterness in her heart, because Jiang Zhiming's improvement seemed to indirectly prove the mistake of her choice. She said softly, "Jiang Zhiming, now you know that your choice was right, right?" Her heart felt like it was being pricked by needles.
Jiang Zhiming watched Ye Wenyu's bleeding foot with concern. It had rained heavily all night, and the city was like a vast ocean today, with water everywhere. Although the water had receded a lot, the ground was a mess, littered with mud, garbage, fallen leaves, bottles, and other debris, as if a flood had swept through. The two of them looked like two people stranded on a deserted island because of the flood. The wind blew by, slightly cool, like water from a deep well. Jiang Zhiming saw Ye Wenyu flinch again. Her brows were slightly furrowed, her face was pale, and her injured little foot instinctively pulled back.
She was as pitiful as a small animal.
Her foot was probably still bleeding, even though she was squeezing it tightly with her hands in an attempt to stop the bleeding, but it didn't. He also noticed a bloodstained thumbtack nearby, which was rusty.
His face immediately turned pale, and he frowned, asking worriedly, "Was it punctured by a thumbtack?"
Ye Wenyu, unaware of Jiang Zhiming's thoughts, could only reply, "Yes."
Jiang Zhiming immediately reached out and grasped Ye Wenyu's injured foot. Ye Wenyu felt a "boom" and her mind went blank. She immediately said, "Let go of me."
If Lin Tingyue sees this and then treats me as an enemy—
Jiang Zhiming seemed not to hear her and continued to carefully examine her wound. He said seriously, "It was punctured by a thumbtack, and the thumbtack is rusty. I think the injury is a bit serious. You must go to the hospital."
Ye Wenyu laughed, struggling to free her injured foot from his grasp, and said nonchalantly, "Does this really require a trip to the hospital? It's just a minor injury, you're making a mountain out of a molehill."
Jiang Zhiming said sternly, "You are really ignorant. If you don't go to the hospital in time, you may get tetanus. Tetanus can kill people, do you know that!" His voice suddenly became louder as he spoke.
Ye Wenyu was frightened. She looked at her injured foot, then at Jiang Zhiming, wondering if it was really that serious.
She said with annoyance, "No need. Besides, even if I get tetanus, I'll just die. Anyway, I'm living a life of—" As she said this, she suddenly saw the look of great heartache in Jiang Zhiming's eyes and was stunned. She originally wanted to say, "I'm living such a hard life, death might be a relief." But she didn't want Jiang Zhiming to pity her, so she wisely remained silent.
The air seemed to freeze, and the people coming and going all around seemed extremely far away from them.
Jiang Zhiming suddenly said to her, "Come on, I'll carry you to the hospital."
Ye Wenyu paused for a moment, blushed, and immediately shook her head, saying, "No need, I'll go to the hospital myself."
Jiang Zhiming said to her with some annoyance, "What time is it? Why are you still arguing with me about this? The floodwaters haven't receded yet, and the ground is full of bacteria and viruses. Do you want your wound to get infected again? Am I really that scary that you would risk your life?"
Ye Wenyu fell silent, then stammered, "Jiang Zhiming, that's not what I meant. I meant that you have a girlfriend now." She looked at his shoes and the watch on his wrist, and continued softly, "Your girlfriend treats you very well, and I don't want her to misunderstand and affect your relationship."
Jiang Zhiming was stunned for a moment before slowly saying, "No, Tingyue trusts me a lot. Let's go." As he spoke, he turned around, presenting his back to Ye Wenyu. He even waved his hand, urging her to quickly get on his back.
Ye Wenyu saw that the bleeding on her foot had not stopped, and the blood formed a river that continued to expand in front of her. She was indeed worried that she would get tetanus. Although life was hard, there was hope as long as she was alive, so she obediently leaned on Jiang Zhiming's back.
Jiang Zhiming carried Ye Wenyu on his back on the way to the school hospital. He walked very slowly, as if he were carrying not a girl, but a flower, a cloud, because she was fragrant, soft, and gentle.
He hoped this road would never end, so he could carry her on his back forever.
However, Ye Wenyu was afraid that Lin Tingyue would see this and cause some unnecessary misunderstanding, so she kept urging Jiang Zhiming to walk faster.
Jiang Zhiming found it amusing after hearing the urging several times, and asked Ye Wenyu in an annoyed tone, "What are you so nervous about?"
Ye Wenyu opened her mouth, then fell silent. She was nervous; did he notice?
Jiang Zhiming still held tightly to her thighs with both hands, striding forward through the puddles. The muddy water had already soaked his Nike running shoes, which cost thousands of dollars a pair, but he seemed not to care at all. Sometimes, when there was no other way to go, he would step into the puddles and wade across the river in his expensive running shoes.
