Digging into his ears, which were still numb from the loud noise, Zhang Huaiyi wanted to complain about the intruder's rudeness, but a sinister look from the other party made him swallow his words.
"Fine, I can't afford to mess with you, I'll get lost now."
Another bang.
It was the sound of Zhang Huaiyi casually closing the door.
Startled twice by the loud noise, Shu Yi subconsciously raised her hand to press it, her tone tinged with a hint of coquettishness.
"Keep your noise down, I need to rest now. You almost made the hospital building collapse."
Noticing her movements, Zhang Youye hurriedly came to her bedside: "What's wrong? What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell? I'm sorry, I was too hasty. I was so eager to see you that I rushed over as soon as I got out of the car."
His urgency was obvious.
Even though it was the dead of winter and the outdoor temperature was only a few degrees Celsius, his forehead was covered in a fine sheen of sweat.
Shu Yi carefully wiped away his sweat, then pinched his chin and said with a smile, "I'm fine. The doctor has checked me out. Anyway, it's just a superficial injury. Apart from the wounds being a little painful, I don't feel uncomfortable at all."
Hearing her say yes, he lifted the blanket covering her body again and checked her repeatedly to make sure there was nothing wrong with her wounds and body. The unspeakable gloom that had been hanging over his heart finally dissipated.
He grabbed the water glass and took a big gulp, then sat back in his chair and let out a long sigh.
After explaining everything that had happened over the past few days to Shu Yi, Zhang Youye looked apologetic: "My dad locked me up for a few days, so I couldn't stay at the hospital with you. You won't blame me, will you?"
"How could that be?" Shu Yi smiled gently and brightly as she grasped his palm in return. "I'll try to persuade Dad when I'm better. But you too, how could you be so crazy? I couldn't believe it when Huaiyi told me."
Feigning anger, Shu Yi squeezed the large hand in her palm as punishment, and said seriously, "If I hadn't seen the online discussions and photos, I really wouldn't believe that you did all these things."
“Zhang Youye, you’re not allowed to do this again. Do you really think you can turn the world upside down without me keeping an eye on you?”
"Okay." Zhang Youye nodded decisively.
"Why did you answer so decisively this time? Huaiyi said that you never listen to anyone at home, and you stubbornly refused to admit your mistakes even when your aunt asked you to."
He pulled her palm close to his lips, and Zhang Youye remained silent for a long time.
If this hadn't happened.
Zhang Youye would never have realized how important Shu Yi was to him in his entire life.
She was like another organ growing within him, an integral part of him. To him, she was as important as his heart, his bone marrow, his blood, and his internal organs. She would always be his inseparable other half.
His love was greater than anyone could imagine.
He wished he could sew her back to him with needle and thread, so that even if they became nothing but bones, he could still hold her tightly with his skeletal hands.
Without responding to her question, Zhang Youye remained silent, quietly gazing at her face.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" Unable to resist the familiar heat in his eyes, Shu Yi asked subconsciously.
"I don't know why, but I just want to look at you closely, protect you, stay with you, and love you dearly."
His voice, which was on track, seemed to have deviated slightly, and his eyes were no longer easily moistened.
His eyes, which had never welled up with tears before due to sadness, turned completely red after answering Shu Yi's question.
"I'm sorry, I didn't protect you well."
Not wanting her to see his pathetic crying scene, Zhang Youye lowered his eyelashes and was forced to bend his neck.
"It's all my fault for not protecting you. During the time you were tied up, I thought of every possible bad outcome. Every time I thought about what you would go through, I couldn't control my anger."
"I have absolutely no way to control myself except to vent."
"Shuyi, you have no idea how much I love you."
She sat up halfway in bed and buried her head tightly in her arms. Stimulated by his words, Shu Yi's eyes were also red, and she couldn't say a word. She had also thought about the worst possible outcome.
These desperate criminals are all ruthless, especially the one who smashed the windshield.
That naked and humiliating look in his eyes, as if he wanted to strip her naked and pin her to the ground to finish her off, would send chills down any girl's spine and fill her with lingering fear.
Being in that kind of environment, Shu Yi even thought that if she were gang-raped by this group, she would definitely threaten to kill herself.
Even she herself couldn't imagine what the consequences would be if this happened.
Not to mention Zhang Youye, the prince who loved her to the core.
If an irreversible situation were to occur, the entire Jingnan region might be razed to the ground by him.
fortunately.
Fortunately, nothing happened.
Fortunately, Shu Chuanran appeared in time and risked his life to rescue her from the kidnappers.
Thinking of Shu Chuanran, Shu Yi rubbed the head in her arms and said softly, "This time, Chuanran risked his life to save me. Once Chuanran wakes up, we must thank him properly."
It's fine if you don't mention Shu Chuanran, but once you do, it becomes clear that...
The Crown Prince's eyes were no longer red, and he wiped away his tears.
After pondering for a long time in Shu Yi's arms, he poked his head out from his wife's embrace and said in a deep voice, "That bastard Shu Chuanran actually played dirty tricks on me. This kid has been keeping it from me all along, he must be trying to find you before I do."
"Given his treacherous and cunning nature, what kind of demands do you think he'll make this time?"
He was taken aback by Zhang Youye's sinister tone.
Shu Yi recalled the scene in the office with Shu Chuanran before the kidnapping.
Considering the Crown Prince's temperament, she dared not tell Shu Chuanran that he liked her.
If she were to reveal this, and Zhang Youye took advantage of her serious injuries to retaliate, wouldn't she become the sinner again?
One is someone who will retaliate against any flaw.
The other one is someone who cannot be seen through.
After thinking for a long time, I still couldn't come up with a good solution to this problem, and instead, my head started to ache again.
Using the excuse that she wanted to rest, Shu Yi pulled the blanket over herself and lay back down on the hospital bed.
"I want to rest for a bit first," she said.
"Aren't you going to eat something first?" Zhang Youye pressed. "It's already lunchtime, aren't you hungry?"
"I don't have much of an appetite. Let's talk about it when I wake up."
After saying that, Shu Yi closed her eyes.
