Pei Ji's gaze slowly fell on Qi Rang's slender hand that was touching the girl. He blinked innocently, and raised the corners of his lips slightly, "Let go. Don't touch her."
Qi Rang, however, did not give in at all. He lowered his eyes and said to Pan Shu, "He is a lunatic. Shu Shu, come with me."
He turned his back, held Panshu in his arms, and prepared to take Panshu away.
"Bang!"
Gunshots rang out in the smoke.
The gunshot wasn't loud. It was a silenced gun.
Qi Rang groaned, then fell to his knees, his face pale. A large amount of crimson blood oozed from the wound, soaking even Ban Shu's snow-white shirt. "Qi Rang..."
Pan Shu's eyes were red. She turned around and saw the boy approaching slowly. He bent down and sighed helplessly, "Sister, don't cry."
"Please save him." The girl's cold fingertips tightly grasped Qi Rang's hand, her voice choked with sobs, "Pei Ji, you, you must save him quickly——"
The young man curved his lips obediently, "Of course. Pei Ji is my good dog. Whatever my sister says, Pei Ji will do."
Pei Ji slowly stood up and snapped his fingers slowly. Two men in black came in expressionlessly and carried Qi Rang away. Qi Rang had already fallen into a coma.
Pan Shu pinched her palms tightly, she lowered her eyes, her shirt was stained with Qi Rang's blood and stuck to her body.
"Sister, why are you crying?"
Pei Ji slowly pulled the girl into his arms, and with his cold fingertips he gently wiped away the tears from the corners of Ban Shu's eyes. "It was obviously my sister who wanted to escape."
"I don't want to leave." Ban Shu looked at him calmly, "Pei Ji, you really disappoint me."
The boy paused.
The intense pain spreading from the tip of his heart made him stop breathing.
For a long while, he breathed softly, trying to ease the pain that penetrated his bones. "Sister. Pei Ji can't live without you."
Pan Shu closed her eyes and refused to communicate with him.
The girl's body was covered in scarlet blood, and her delicate and beautiful wrist bones had tiny scratches, like a flawless work of art, but still breathtakingly beautiful.
"Qiqi, how is Qi Rang?"
"Pei Ji abandoned Qi Rang outside the villa and left him there. He probably intended for Qi Rang to die," the system said calmly. "Pei Ji's possessiveness is too strong. I suggest the host stay away from him."
The system is selfish.
Pan Shu opened her eyes and met the gaze of the aggrieved and fragile young man in front of her, "Let Qi Rang live, otherwise, I will really hate you."
Pei Ji's eyes trembled, and he stammered "hmm".
Only when she learned that Qi Rang had been sent to the hospital did Pan Shu finally breathe a sigh of relief.
In the cold villa, the girl bound by morbid love leaned on the bed. The loose cotton and linen long skirt looked empty on the girl. She hugged her knees with her hands and closed her eyes.
The young man hugged the girl from behind, his hot tears wetting her neck. He said hoarsely, "Sister, I just don't want you to be taken away by someone else. Pei Ji is very well behaved. Sister, you can hit me or scold me, but just don't ignore me, okay?"
The girl is like a tattered rag doll.
Exquisite yet lifeless.
Pei Ji's face turned pale. He mumbled, "Sister, please eat something. I haven't eaten for several days."
The spoon made a harsh whine when it hit the porcelain bowl. Pan Shu frowned and pushed it away, saying in disgust, "Pei Ji, can you please stop being crazy?"
"...Sister." The young man pinched the corner of his clothes helplessly.
He blinked, trying to suppress the panic in his heart, and the corners of his peach-colored eyes drooped. "I just think that my sister only wants Pei Ji."
"I've been good enough to you, Pei Ji."
Those men were jealous of her preference for him, but Pei Ji was still not satisfied.
Pan Shu's gaze glided calmly across the boy's misty pupils. "Let's stop here. Pei Ji, I don't want to play such childish games with you anymore."
The young man lowered his eyebrows, and his eyelashes cast a shadow on his eyelids.
He blinked slowly and smiled.
But that smile was extremely bitter.
"Sister, don't abandon Pei Ji." He begged, his eyes filled with despair.
Pan Shu pursed her dry lips and walked out of the cold villa. Looking back, she saw the young man standing quietly on the second floor, looking at her crying through the window.
Seeing the girl turning around, the boy hurriedly wiped the cold tears from his face and forced the corners of his lips together, looking pitiful and helpless.
Hospital.
When Pan Shu arrived at the ward, Qi Rang was wearing a blue and white striped hospital gown, leaning against the head of the bed, staring at the lilac flowers on the windowsill.
He didn't even turn around when he heard footsteps at the door.
However, the long silence behind him made Qi Rang frown. When he turned around and saw Ban Shu, a light suddenly appeared in his dim eyes.
He spoke incoherently, "Shushu...Brother, I have already paid back all the money."
"Brother already..." Qi Rang said with difficulty, "I don't owe anyone anymore. Can Shushu forgive brother just once?"
Pan Shu was silent for a while. She slowly put the broken ice blue flowers she bought from the flower shop into the vase and cut off the extra branches. Her delicate profile was cold and indifferent.
"But brother, you haven't paid me back yet."
Qi Rang was puzzled.
Pan Shu didn't explain, but just smiled and said, "You will know."
After saying that, she left.
When she walked out of the hospital, she realized that it was already the border between late autumn and early winter. She wrapped her coat tightly around her body, her expression was absent-minded, as if she didn't care about anything, and it was terribly cold.
Nothing could hold her back.
"Host, do you want to leave here?" asked the system.
"Yeah. Go to another country." The mission was about to end. Pan Shu was indeed a little tired because of Pei Ji. She needed to relax.
Before leaving the country, she made an appointment to meet Fu Jinli.
It's on the asphalt road lined with osmanthus trees.
Fu Jinli was still breathing heavily when he arrived. It was clearly early winter, but a thin layer of sweat seeped out of his forehead. He said, "You should have told me earlier."
Panshu smiled and said, "Why?"
"I haven't even dressed myself properly." Fu Jinli smiled helplessly. "What's the matter with you asking me out?"
Fu Jinli thought she would choose him.
So I'm looking forward to it.
After all, she has seen through Pei Ji's true face and is fed up with it, right?
"I'm going abroad." The girl said calmly.
Fu Jinli suddenly felt as if he were in an icy pond. The cold made his limbs stiff. He slowly said "hmm", "Can you take me with you?"
The girl was wearing a black coat, with half of her fair face buried in her scarf. Only her gentle yet cold tea-brown eyes could be seen. She blinked slowly, "No, Fu Jinli, it's hard for me to handle you like this."
Pan Shu opened her arms and hugged him, saying in a gentle voice, "Whether you believe it or not, I really liked you."
She was still lying to him till the end.
Fu Jinli's eyes were sore, but he didn't say whether he believed it or not.
After all, the strategy value reached the maximum value the moment the words fell. Pan Shu slowly curled her lips.
Whether he believed it or not was not important to Panshu at all.
