Shen Yanli looked at the girl who fainted in his arms, his brows furrowed even tighter. After briefly checking her physical condition, he picked her up from the ground without hesitation and strode towards the parking lot.
She seemed to be extremely cold and was instinctively moving towards the nearest source of heat. Her purple little face rubbed against his chest through the cloth, causing her to feel itchy. Her hands also tightly hugged his neck, shortening the distance between them until they could hear each other's breathing.
Shen Yanli paused a little uncomfortably, until Zheng Huaiguo opened the car door and put the person safely in the back seat, he breathed a sigh of relief, and his stiff body slowly returned to normal.
He took off his military coat and covered her with it. Before he could say anything, a harsh questioning voice suddenly came from behind him: "Hey, this is my niece, where are you taking her?"
Hearing this, Shen Yanli looked over and saw a middle-aged woman in a black jacket pushing through the crowd and rushing out, then leaning out as if she wanted to get a clearer look at the person in the back seat of the car.
Shen Yanli narrowed his eyes and quietly moved his feet to block the other party's inquiring sight. Perhaps he noticed his action, and a trace of guilt and uneasiness flashed in the man's eyes. He cleared his throat and asked again: "I'm asking you a question, are you mute?"
"Send him to the health center." Shen Yanli's low and magnetic voice sounded, and the dim light made his well-defined face look even more fierce and intimidating, making people dare not look at him any more.
"We don't have money to go to the hospital. We can just lie down. It's not that expensive." Luo Xiangjuan was frightened by Shen Yanli's momentum and her voice became much softer. She curled her lips and muttered, "This damn girl ran outside to be lazy. She deserved to freeze to death."
Hearing this, Shen Yanli had a further substantive understanding of the Zhou family's situation. At the same time, he also knew that it was useless to talk to such a person, and it was a waste of precious time to save people, so he turned his head to look at Zheng Huaiguo and said in a deep voice: "I will take her to the health center first, you stay."
...
...
After he finished speaking, he rubbed his fingertips twice, as if hesitating, and finally said firmly: "Don't give them the things yet."
"Yes." Zheng Huaiguo nodded, his eyes swept over the figure wrapped in a military coat in the back seat of the car, his face became solemn. Before coming, they had already investigated the background of the Zhou family. There was only one girl of this age in the Zhou family...
The orphan of the martyr was almost frozen to death. If this matter were to spread out, it would have a huge impact. Moreover, judging from Comrade Shen's attitude, he was not prepared to let it go easily. Thinking of this, Zheng Huaiguo could not help but cast a sympathetic and resentful look at Luo Xiangjuan who was still making a fuss next to him.
You will suffer the consequences if you do evil. People will always have to pay the price for their actions.

When Zhou Yunwan woke up again, it was completely dark. She still had no strength, but her body was no longer covered with cold snow. Instead, she was wearing a warm military coat. The coat was so big that it could wrap her up tightly.
The faint scent of soap lingers at the tip of your nose, making you feel inexplicably at ease.
Zhou Yunwan slowly opened her eyes and saw the surroundings clearly in the moonlight. She guessed that this should be a hospital. The man who saved her was nowhere to be found, and she was the only one in the room.
Her head was dizzy, and she reached out her hand to touch it. It was a little hot, probably because she had been frozen for too long. Her throat was also dry, painful and itchy. She had no choice but to prop herself up and get down from the sickbed, and walk out in the dark to find some water to drink.
Obviously, the bed was only a few steps away from the door, but she seemed to have used up all her strength. Looking at the door handle so close at hand, her red lips slightly parted, and she gasped heavily. Just as she grasped it, before she could move, the door was opened from the outside.
This sudden change left her no time to react, and she didn't have the strength to dodge. She could only watch herself and the door about to collide. Zhou Yunwan closed her eyes in fear, but the expected pain did not come. Instead, she felt a pair of large hands holding her waist tightly.
It turned out that the person who came was quick-witted and held her to avoid the collision.
A familiar smell came to her face, fresh and clean. Even though Zhou Yunwan didn't see the other person's appearance clearly, she had already guessed his identity in her heart.
"Are you okay?"
A deep, magnetic voice sounded above his head. As the words fell, the pair of big hands moved away very tactfully. The two of them separated immediately after touching each other, tacitly as if the close distance just now had never happened.
However, the burning and itchy feeling in the touching parts began to ferment slowly, lingering on the skin for a long time and refusing to dissipate.
"Thank you." Zhou Yunwan's eyelashes trembled slightly, and she slowly raised her head in the light of the corridor to look at the man. He had changed into a black coat, and he was tall and straight, with sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes. He had a superior appearance that was unforgettable.
She felt her heartbeat getting faster and faster, and she couldn't help swallowing.
In her previous life, she had seen tens or even hundreds of handsome men in her circle, if not thousands. But the man in front of her still stunned her. Both his figure and appearance were outstanding.
The most important thing is that he looks like her favorite type, in layman's terms, a beast in human clothing, a gentlemanly scoundrel, usually serious and dignified, but in private he can bully her and make her cry...
Stop, stop. Is now the time to think about those scenes that are not suitable for children?
While she was looking at him, Shen Yanli was also observing her quietly.
The woman was tall, but his loose coat made her look petite and cute, like a child who had stolen adult clothes. Her long black hair was draped around her waist in a somewhat messy manner, revealing her slender swan neck. Her skin was fair and delicate, and because she was sick, her cheeks were slightly abnormally red.
Her facial features were extremely bright and delicate, the kind of beauty that was very ostentatious, delicate and charming, with a pair of enchanting peach blossom eyes that were particularly touching. At this moment, she was staring at him without blinking, without dodging.
I didn't expect that although she looked delicate and weak, she was actually quite brave.
Shen Yanli was the first to look away, and stretched out his long hand to turn on the switch at the door. Suddenly, the dim light filled the entire room, allowing both parties to see each other more clearly.
"How do you feel?" He walked into the house and put the bags in his hands on the table. He took things out of the bags while explaining, "I saw you were still asleep, so I went out to buy some food and daily necessities."
It was only at this time that Zhou Yunwan noticed that the soles of his black leather boots were stained with mud and snow. When he hugged her just now, he was cold, obviously having just returned from outside.
At this time, the supply and marketing cooperatives and state-owned restaurants in the countryside were all closed, and I didn’t know where he bought these things.
Zhou Yunwan didn't ask any further questions, but silently mentioned the favor in her heart. At the same time, she couldn't help but sigh that one should not judge a person by his appearance.
I didn't expect that although he looked cold, he was actually quite considerate and caring.
