Inside the car.
Chi Ming looked at Shen Qingyue’s obviously injured leg and the visible wound on her forehead. He gripped the steering wheel tightly, feeling a tightness in his chest. “What’s going on?”
Shen Qingyue casually replied, “Just a minor issue, let’s drive.” She did not want to involve Chi Ming too much. This Bai Juhua had caused her trouble today, and she would not let her get away with it.
Chi Ming hesitated to speak but ultimately said nothing. He started the car without further ado.
Shen Qingyue continued, “Tonight, I’ll stay at your place… I don’t want Grandpa to see…”
“Alright.” Chi Ming remained silent. Originally, he should have been excited about bringing Shen Qingyue to his home, but under the current circumstances, he could not find any reason to smile.
Upon reaching their destination, Chi Ming got out of the car first and directly lifted Shen Qingyue up.
Shen Qingyue struggled, “I can walk!”
“Don’t move.” Chi Ming’s tone was low.
Shen Qingyue looked at his serious face and could not help but smirk, “It’s really nothing serious, you’re being too nervous. From the way you’re acting, one would think I’ve had my limbs amputated.” She had been cornered by a group of people tonight, got injured, and was pushed by Qin Zhen. She was also feeling annoyed, but seeing Chi Ming like this inexplicably made her feel a bit comfortable. Perhaps she had some strange quirks?
Chi Ming did not answer her and instead placed her on the sofa in the house.
He then went to get the first aid kit and carefully applied medicine to her. Shen Qingyue saw his serious expression and could not help but exaggerate,
“Ouch… It hurts so much..
Chi Ming’s hand paused, his voice muffled, “I’m sorry…”
Shen Qingyue suppressed her laughter, “I can do it myself.”
“I’ll do it.” Chi Ming resolutely refused her outstretched hand and continued to carefully apply the medicine.
He was applying medicine to her forehead, so they were very close. She looked at his tense and furrowed brows, felt his breath, and for some reason, her cheeks turned slightly red, so she turned her head to the side.
“Don’t move!” Chi Ming reached out and adjusted her head. After tending to her forehead, he put her leg on the coffee table, lifted the hem of her suit pants, and looked at the bruise. His expression turned dark again.
Being stared at like this made Shen Qingyue feel a little embarrassed. She said,
“It’s nothing, it’ll be fine in a couple of days. No need for medicine.”
Chi Ming did not say anything and continued to apply the medicine. Then he said, “I’ll go prepare some water for you to take a shower. After that, I’ll apply the medicine again.”
“Fine.” Although Shen Qingyue felt a little disappointed, she did not insist. After taking a shower and seeing the clothes that Chi Ming had already prepared, perfectly sized for her, it was evident that this guy had planned everything in advance. And at this moment, she realized that tonight, in this place, it was just the two of them! She had taken the initiative… Was this what being favored felt like? So she instinctively chose him? Knowing that he would be tolerant?
Shen Qingyue shook her head, touched her damp hair, and prepared to find a hairdryer. But after searching for a while, she could not find it. She went to find Chi Ming instead. Seeing that the bedroom door was slightly open, she did not enter directly but knocked and asked him.
Chi Ming heard the movement, turned around, but did not open the door. “The hairdryer is in the cabinet in the bathroom…”
“Oh.” Shen Qingyue saw that there were several large boxes behind him, and she vaguely felt that there were photos inside. She asked, “Are those the photos you took on your trips?
Chi Ming’s expression softened. “Those are the most beautiful photos in the world.”
Shen Qingyue became interested. “Really? Can I take a look? I’ve always wanted to know where you’ve been that made you so captivated.”
Chi Ming’s gaze faltered. “Let’s talk about it another time. You’re tired today, so rest early.”
“Okay.” Although Shen Qingyue felt a bit disappointed, she did not insist. She turned around to find the hairdryer.
Chi Ming looked at the neatly arranged photos behind him, all ot Shen
Qingyue. From various angles, capturing her youth on campus, her daily life. Her joys and sorrows were all recorded. But these photos, he dared only look at them himself…
After Qin Zhen dropped Wei Jiu’er off at her house, he still felt uneasy. In the end, he did not know why, but he drove straight to Shen Qingyue’s house.
However, he could not find her and could not reach her by phone either.
Qin Zhen sat in the car and smoked several cigarettes in succession. Somehow, he thought of the car parked at the entrance of the police station tonight. He fell into silence and sat outside the old Shen family residence the whole night. But throughout the night, Shen Qingyue never came back. With dark circles under his eyes, he drove straight to the Shen Corporation. After waiting outside the entrance for over an hour, he finally saw Miss Shen walking slowly toward him..
