Chapter 23 Willing
When they arrived at the rescue point, they were finally able to take a short rest.
Fortunately, the person has been found and everyone breathed a sigh of relief. A staff member of the scenic spot handed Wen Eryu a bottle of mineral water.
She took it and drank half the bottle in one breath.
Shen Jize took off his dirty shoes and sat quietly next to Wen Eryu.
After all the search and rescue personnel returned, the group packed up their things and headed towards the exit.
After Wen Eryu came out, he spotted Bai You's sneaky figure in the crowd.
The little girl didn't think twice and, ignoring the pain in her ankle, ran quickly towards the black-hearted guide and grabbed the corner of his clothes tightly.
She cried out in grievance, "It was him...it was him who blackmailed me and then left me in there...Uncle police, you must arrest this bad guy."
Everyone was instantly furious when they heard this, but Bai You refused to admit it even if he was beaten to death.
"Don't spit bloody words at me! I, Bai You, swear on my career that I have never left you in the penalty area!"
Wen Eryu laughed at his quibbling and said, "Then you might be out of a job."
"W-what do you mean? There's no surveillance in the restricted area, so it's so easy for you to slander people," Bai You said with a smooth tongue. "Besides, it was you who got lost, and I was kind enough to go in with everyone else to rescue you. How can you, a little girl, turn the tables and blame me?"
He pushed Wen Eryu, trying to break free from her entanglement, but the next second a pair of strong hands pressed him to the ground.
Bai You was choking on dust. He wanted to see who it was, but the other party didn't even give him a chance to look up.
"Who are you?" Bai You cursed.
Shen Jize looked at the person on the ground and sneered, "Your father."
Seeing that Bai You refused to admit it, Wen Eryu took out his cell phone from his jacket and played a recording.
The voice in the recording was clearly Bai You's. All his threats to Wen Eryu were recorded, and one could even hear the physical collision between the two people as they fought over the map.
Bai You was stunned. He had no idea when Wen Eryu recorded the audio. In an instant, his mind went blank. When he saw the police uniform, he completely gave up and closed his eyes.
If I had known this, I should have run away. Why is he so greedy and wants to get this life-threatening money...
He knelt in front of Wen Eryu and kowtowed repeatedly: "I was wrong, I deserve to die, please forgive me."
"Go away and tell the police." Wen Eryu didn't even look at him, turned around and got into the ambulance.
After Wen Liang knew about this, he found a lawyer. It seemed that Bai You would not be able to get out without spending a few years in prison.
At the same time, Shen Jize followed Wen Eryu to the hospital.
She now has to undergo a full body check-up to make sure there is nothing serious wrong with her body. Fortunately, the final examination results show that there is nothing serious, just a sprained ankle ligament and some skin injuries.
Wen Eryu sat in the hospital lobby with the test results.
She looked at Shen Jize who was accompanying her and said, "Since you are here, why don't you stay here for a few more days and I will pay for it?"
"No thanks." Shen Jize refused, "I still have some things to do at home."
His tone was tired and his eyes were bloodshot, and it was obvious that he hadn't had a good rest for several days.
Wen Eryu pouted: "Okay, then I'll find you when I return to H City."
"Yeah." Shen Jize stood up and said, "I have to rush to the airport."
"So soon, don't you want to sit for a while?" Wen Eryu's words were full of nostalgia.
How could Shen Jize not hear it?
He reached out and touched Wen Eryu's head: "No, don't blame yourself for the necklace. I'll give you another one next time we meet."
"It's a deal then." Wen Eryu said softly.
Shen Jize rarely raised the corner of his mouth: "Okay."

After some time had passed since the rainforest incident, the winter vacation was almost coming to an end.
Wen Eryu packed her luggage at the hotel and boarded a plane back to H City with Wen Liang.
As soon as the plane landed, Lin Cheng was already waiting outside.
Wen Liang still has things to do, so he goes back first.
Lin Cheng pulled Wen Eryu towards the parking lot, and she kept expressing her longing for her best friend along the way.
"It's a good thing you're okay, otherwise I would definitely regret not going with you."
Wen Eryu smiled and said, "Oh, I'm fine. Okay, okay, today is a good day. Let's not say such depressing words."
"Yeah." Lin Cheng held back her tears and nodded vigorously.
Before they walked out of the airport, An Xinqing came over pushing her luggage.
Seeing this, Lin Cheng sighed, "Why do I see An Xinqing everywhere?"
As soon as he finished speaking, An Xinqing's smiling face came up to him.
"What a coincidence, you're also going back to H City today."
Before Wen Eryu could speak, Lin Cheng stood in front of her, looked up and said, "What's a coincidence? Are we familiar with you?"
An Xinqing's smile froze on her face, and she looked embarrassed, unable to find anything to say for a moment.
"Uh... I know that the wrong things I did before hurt you." An Xinqing said, "I don't ask you to forgive me. If there is a chance in the future, I want to be friends with you."
"Then dream on." Lin Cheng retorted, not showing her any mercy at all.
Where has the momentum she had when she bullied Wen Eryu gone? Lin Cheng is not someone who is easy to talk to.
"Eryu, let's go."
Lin Cheng took Wen Eryu into the car.
Only An Xinqing was left standing there with red eyes.

I saw Shen Jize again on the first day of school.
After Wen Eryu packed up her things in the classroom, she prepared to go downstairs to find Lin Cheng to go home together.
Unexpectedly, I ran into Li Wei and his group in the stairwell.
He put his hand on Shen Jize's shoulder and asked him with a smile.
"I heard that you went to see Wen Eryu during the winter break?"
As soon as she heard her name, Wen Eryu subconsciously hid in the corner. She leaned sideways to listen to the conversation between the two.
Shen Ji Ze just said "hmm" briefly.
Li Wei asked: "So where have you progressed?"
"You're meddling too much." Shen Jize pushed him away.
"I'm telling you, how could Miss Wen be attracted to ordinary people like us? You haven't confirmed your relationship for so long. Maybe she just wants to have some fun with you. Listen to my advice, brother. Don't waste your time on her." Li Wei clicked his tongue. "There are so many girls who like you, why bother hanging yourself on one tree?"
Wen Eryu eavesdropped on them from behind, feeling a pang of bitterness in her heart. Li Wei was right. She knew that Shen Jize liked her, and she naturally enjoyed Shen Jize's pursuit. She had never realized this before, and it was her fault.
Just when Wen Eryu thought Shen Jize would remain silent.
He suddenly said, "I am willing to be played by her."
Li Wei: “…”
He looked at Shen Jize as if he were a fool. Damn, his brother was completely hopeless.
After everyone left, Wen Eryu came out from the corner and walked downstairs in a daze.
Lin Cheng was shocked to see her like this.
"Oh my god, what's wrong with you?" she asked with concern.
Lin Cheng simply thought that Wen Eryu just didn't want to go to school.
"I'm fine." Wen Eryu shook his head and said, "Let's go."
Lin Cheng took her hand and said, "By the way, when I was waiting for you here just now, I saw Li Wei and Shen Jize."
"I know."
"Oh, you know?" Lin Cheng said, "Chen Jize even asked me where you were going."
Wen Eryu exclaimed: "Did you tell him?"
Lin Cheng nodded: "I said it."
"It's over." Wen Eryu's eyes darkened. "He must know."
Lin Cheng said: "What does he know?"
Wen Eryu was about to cry, so she pulled Lin Cheng out of the school quickly: "It's okay, let's go back quickly."

The official class starts on Monday.
After a winter vacation, Wen Eryu's hair had grown longer. Instead of cutting her hair as soon as it grew longer like before, she chose to keep it.
The math this semester has become noticeably more difficult, and learning Wen'er Chinese has become even more challenging.
When doing exercises during breaks, the exercise book looked completely blank at first glance, and I could vaguely see a few scattered "solutions" in front of the big questions.
She complained madly to Lin Cheng beside her: "Cheng Cheng, this math is too abnormal, wuwuwu."
Lin Cheng was secretly reading a novel with her MP3 player under the desk. She had long since put math aside.
"Mathematics?" Lin Cheng raised his head and said jokingly, "What the hell is mathematics? Can you eat it?"
"...I knew it." Wen Eryu sighed, biting the pen cap and looking out the window.
The next second, she remembered what Shen Jize had said before.
During the afternoon activity class, a figure was wandering at the door of Class 1.
Wen Eryu was looking out the window with her exercise book in hand, but Shen Jize was not in the class at all.
Suddenly, a male voice came from behind her.
"Who are you looking for?"
Wen Eryu was so frightened that her legs went weak and she almost couldn't stand. She buried her face behind the exercise book, leaving only her round eyes exposed.
"Chen Jize?" she said, putting down the notebook in her hand.
"You haven't answered me yet?"
Wen Eryu coughed lightly, lowered her eyes shyly and said, "I'm here to ask you a math question."
When Shen Jize saw that she was looking for him, his tense face finally relaxed a lot.
"Here or...?" he asked.
Wen Eryu looked around his class. Although this was an activity class, there were still some girls sitting inside doing their homework.
She thought for a moment and said, "Let's go to the empty classroom next door."
After arriving at the empty classroom, Shen Jize found a random seat and sat down.
Wen Eryu sat in a seat in front of him and turned her chair around to face him.
Shen Jize read the question carefully, and after a while, he wrote his solution in pencil under the original question.
"Take a look at this. If you don't understand, ask me again." He turned the exercise book around and placed it in front of Wen Eryu.
Wen Eryu read it once, but still didn't understand it. She shook her head and said, "Please explain it to me again."
Shen Jize patiently picked up the pen and explained to her.
But Wen Eryu's eyes were always on him.
After not seeing each other for a few days, Shen Jize seemed to be more handsome, his black eyes turned amber under the setting sun, and his bangs were shorter than the last time we met.
Wen Eryu held her face with her hands and looked at him in a daze. At this moment, she seemed to see her own heart clearly.
She just likes Shen Jize!
Suddenly, she interrupted Shen Jize, came close to him, blinked mischievously, and whispered, "We were married before."
With a "click", the pen fell to the ground. The empty classroom was so quiet that one could almost hear a heart beating wildly.
Being so close to each other made Shen Jize a little dazed.
He pursed his thin lips, his breathing stagnated, and he was stunned for a long, long time.
"What did you say?"
