"Little words!"

Shao Jinhuan's pupils shrank, and he quickly took a few steps over and jumped down to save the man, but someone was faster than him, and with a few "splashes" he was splashed with water.

Noticing someone jumping into the water to rescue him, Bai Ziwei, who was “struggling desperately”, quickly drank a few sips of water and cried out loudly: “Great! Save me——!”

Someone paddled over like a madman, and Bai Ziwei was about to take advantage of the chaos to hug him - but he was thrown away and hit the edge of the swimming pool with a heavy bang.

"Ah!" He screamed in pain and spit out saliva several times.

Shit! Is that a human?

Bai Ziwei wiped the water off his face and took a closer look, only to find that three or four people had jumped down and were heading in the direction of Shen Ci! He looked up at the other people by the pool, and they were all staring at Shen Ci with panic on their faces, fearing that something might happen to him.

There were more than twenty people, but no one cared about his life or death.

Bai Ziwei struggled hard and shouted a few more times unwillingly, but it was still the same.

His heart sank. He was clearly the hero of this book! Why did things turn out like this?

The person who finally brought Shen Ci up was Lu Xiao, who had gone downstairs at some point in time.

His expression was gloomy and terrifying. He climbed up holding the unconscious Shen Ci. No one dared to block his way and everyone made way for him.

Lu Xiao knelt down on one knee, his eyes red as he helped Shen Cikongshui, his heart resuscitated, and he gave him artificial respiration... His hands were shaking, his heart was panicking, but Lu Xiao's movements were meticulous and accurate.

How dare he make a mistake?

In the long time of nearly thirty years, Lu Xiao had never experienced such a desperate moment. When he was fifteen years old, his parents' plane "accidentally" crashed, and Lu was about to be swallowed by his uncles and aunts, which put pressure on him. It was the darkest point in his life.

The boy's shoulders were too weak to bear the heavy pressure from the sinister adult world. Endless negotiations and defense failures completely overwhelmed Lu Xiao.

Who knew when, the little kid from the Shen family quietly kicked a hole, ran in with a giggle, and brought him light.

Naituanzi was always babbling, and every time when he felt hopeless, he would hug him and say in a baby voice, "Don't be afraid, uncle."

It seemed like the whole world had abandoned him, mocked him, and crushed him, but Shen Ci was the only one who came and cherished him.

How could he survive without Shen Ci?

A tear suddenly fell, landed on Shen Ci's pale face, and slowly slid down.

The surroundings gradually became quiet, and no one dared to speak. Even Shen Bie and Shao Jinhuan, who went down to rescue people at the same time, climbed up silently, with only a small splash of water.

The air was terribly stagnant, and Lu Xiao's aura was cold and heavy. Several people close to Lu Xiao couldn't even bear the pressure and took a few steps back.

Bai Ziwei had been soaking in the water. Seeing that no one paid any attention to him, he became so angry that he couldn't continue acting.

He pretended to be lucky and found the shore, then climbed up dejectedly.

However, before he had even stayed there for a minute, Bai Ziwei was unexpectedly knocked into the water by someone unknown.

This time he was not prepared. He was so scared that he screamed and floundered wildly in the water, and he rolled his eyes because of the water.

He could vaguely see the people on the shore, more than twenty of them, all standing there with a mocking look on their faces as if they were looking at a fool, and no one wanted to come down to save him!

"Help, Gululu.....help me!"

Bai Ziwei desperately paddled in the water for several minutes, his legs cramped. He paddled in fear, but the water that poured into his lungs continued to increase...

How could this happen... Is he going to die here?

A swimming ring was suddenly thrown down, Bai Ziwei quickly grabbed it and breathed a sigh of relief.

He slowly paddled back to the shore, and just as he came to his senses, he angrily said feebly, "Who... pushed me overboard?!"

There was a sound of someone coming ashore nearby. Shen Bie sneered, "Are you sure someone pushed you?"

Bai Ziwei looked at his brother Shen Bie in disbelief: "It was you who pushed me! Why did you do this?!"

Shen Bie shrugged innocently: "How could it be, it was clearly you who pushed me down, everyone agrees, right?"

"Yes, yes, yes!"

"Yes, it was Bai Ziwei who pushed it!"

Bai Ziwei glared at them angrily: "You are slandering me! How can you prove that I pushed him?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Bie's eyes suddenly became sharp and gloomy: "Then how can you prove that it was Xiaoci who pushed you just now!"

“I, I…”

Bai Ziwei was speechless for a moment. The eyes of the people around him were like daggers piercing into him. Bai Ziwei didn't even dare to raise his head.

"Why didn't he drown? Wei Shuo, why did you give him a swimming ring?"

"I really want to slap this bastard to death!"

"If something really happens to Xiaoci, even a hundred of him can't afford to pay for it."

"Make him regret being alive..."

“…”

Wei Shuo gritted his teeth, his face grim: "If he dies now, wouldn't that be too easy for him?"

"If you dare to say something like that, I will certainly serve you well."

"Cough, cough, cough..." Shen Ci suddenly spat out a large mouthful of water and arched his back in pain. Lu Xiao hurriedly helped him up, held him in his arms and gently breathed a sigh of relief.

Shen Ci subconsciously grabbed Lu Xiao's clothes tightly, his hands showing clear joints, and his tearful eyes were full of confusion.

The thin hands seemed to be grasping Lu Xiao's heart, squeezing and tearing it tightly, making him breathless with pain.

Shen Ci was raised by him with great pampering, and should have always been protected from suffering. How could he have been harmed and nearly lost his life right under his nose?

"It's cold..." Shen Ci's face was as pale as paper, and he was shivering all over. Yang Xi on the side quickly took off his cotton coat and covered Shen Ci with it. Min Song took out a bath towel at some point and reached out to wrap Shen Ci's wet hair to avoid the cold.

As the year draws to a close, the weather is really unpleasant.

Lu Xiao hugged him carefully and patted his shoulders: "Baby, bear with it for a little while, just a little while..."

Shen Ci nodded obediently, closed his eyes and took a deep breath, occasionally frowning, coughing a few times and spitting out water.

Lu Xiao felt a pain in his heart, and every second seemed like a year.

The roar of a huge propeller came from afar, bringing with it a gust of wind and dust.

"Mr. Lu, the helicopter is here!" Special Assistant Min shouted from the outside without having time to push through the crowd.

Lu Xiao picked up Shen Ci as gently as possible and walked quickly towards the helicopter. The crowd immediately made way for him.

Bai Ziwei fell into the water twice, and his soaked body was made even colder by the strong wind. He hugged his chest and shivered, gnashing his teeth as he watched Lu Xiao holding Shen Ci tightly as they walked away.

Whether it was being able to hold a party in such a large manor, being loved by everyone, or being cherished by Lu Xiao like a treasure... the one who should enjoy all of this should be him, Bai Ziwei!

He pulled himself together and was about to stand up to stop them, but Lu Xiao glanced back at him and froze him in place.

The extremely aggressive, cold and murderous eyes were filled with murderous intent.

It was just a look, but Bai Ziwei was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat, his legs went weak and he fell to the ground.

It was not until the roar of the helicopter faded away that Bai Ziwei gradually came back to his senses from the crushing aura just now, and he was in a daze.

No one expected this to happen, and the remaining guests groaned and were extremely worried.

"Shao Jinhuan! I must kill you!" Wei Shuo's sudden shout broke the silence. He rushed straight towards Shao Jinhuan and punched him hard.

Shao Jinhuan was beaten back a few steps, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth without saying a word.

Seeing that he remained silent, Wei Shuo cursed even more nastily and raised his fist to hit him again, but the tall and strong Yang Wei grabbed him from behind and held him tightly: "Shut up!"

"He's not the one you should hit the most!"

Wei Shuo's eyes were red: "Why not him! If it wasn't Shao Jinhuan, if it wasn't Bai Ziwei, Xiao Ci..."

His voice was choked with sobs, and he burst into tears before he finished speaking. Yang patted his shoulder helplessly and had to drag him aside to calm him down.

"What does this have to do with me?" Bai Ziwei started crying without knowing when, wiping his tears and crying loudly: "Why are you all targeting me! It was Shen Ci who stole all my things!"

"You're all supposed to be my friends, is it wrong for me to want my things back?"

"He, Shen Ci, is a fake! I am the young master of the Shen family!"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone was shocked and suddenly became silent.

Many people have secretly cast their eyes on Shen Bie. The treasure they have protected for more than 20 years is actually a fake? And the person they just taught a lesson is actually a real blood relationship...

Shen Bie walked over slowly and without hesitation, he slapped Bai Ziwei in the face with a loud and crisp slap that was terrifying.

He used all his strength, and the veins on his arms were bulging. Bai Zi narrowly avoided being slapped back into the pool, his face instantly swollen and broken, and blood was oozing from the corners of his mouth.

He covered his face and looked at Shen Bie in disbelief.

Shen Bie had a blank expression on his face: "I have nothing to do with you."

"Xiaoci, I brought her home with my own hands,"

"He's my only brother. Get out of here."

***

In the ward, there was only the sound of dripping.

Lu Xiao has been guarding Shen Ci for a whole day and night without sleep, but Shen Ci always wakes up for a while before falling into a deep sleep again, and is constantly haunted by nightmares.

Lu Xiao's eyes were filled with red tears, and his originally deep and handsome face now looked extremely haggard.

For the first time, he felt that he was so incompetent that he couldn't even protect the person closest to his heart.

All he could do now was to kiss away the tears that were flowing from the corners of Shen Ci's eyes, to lean over and gently hug him to comfort him when Shen Ci cried in his sleep, and to repeat in his ears "I'm here" and "Don't be afraid" over and over again...

Lu Xiao hated his own indecision. If he had dealt with Bai Ziwei earlier, how could this have happened?

“Hmm…”

Shen Ci frowned and hummed softly, then slowly woke up.

Lu Xiao reached out and touched his face, and asked gently, "How do you feel?"

Shen Ci is always confused when he first wakes up, and it takes him a while to react.

He looked at Lu Xiao's face and moved his lips: "Hungry..."

Lu Xiao was stunned for a moment, then chuckled.

His little speech seemed to have escaped danger.

The porridge was prepared. Lu Xiao scooped it up himself, cooled it down, and fed it to Shen Ci spoonful by spoonful.

Because he was still weak, Shen Ci was very well behaved and accepted Lu Xiao's feeding like a domestic kitten.

A faint warm current once again flowed through Lu Xiao's heart.

Someone knocked gently on the door, but Lu Xiao ignored it and focused on feeding Shen Ci porridge.

"Chew slowly," he urged.

Shen Ci swallowed it whole and smiled weakly: "I can't chew it..."

Just these words made Lu Xiao hold the spoon tightly and feel nervous.

Shen Ci's voice was soft and a little hoarse: "More..."

Lu Xiao came back to his senses, forced a smile at him, and carefully blew a spoonful of porridge to cool it before passing it over to him.

There was another knock on the door, and Shen Ci's attention was drawn to it. The person knocking on the door saw that no one answered, so he opened the door on his own.

Shao Jinhuan walked in with a lunch box and frowned when he saw Lu Xiao feeding him porridge.

Lu Xiao didn't turn around and continued to cool Shen Ci as if he didn't hear anything.

When Shen Ci saw Shao Jinhuan come in, he lowered his head silently, and seemed a little reluctant to talk to him.

Shao Jinhuan clenched his fists unconsciously and took a deep breath. He was indeed sorry for Xiaoci.

He should have expected it when Bai Ziwei put pressure on him through his company boss and insisted on going to Xiaoci's birthday party.

"The Shen family's press conference is over. It's about your property inheritance and...Bai Ziwei."

Shen Ci's mouth, which had just opened, suddenly froze, and he drank the porridge as if nothing had happened.

Shao Jinhuan handed over a tablet computer: "The video is right here."
