"Don’t move my hand!" Shen Yi had just raised his hand to put it around Ye Wanwan’s shoulders when he was promptly pushed away by her.
The way she frowned made uninformed people think the two of them were fighting, or that the man was some sleazy pervert with dishonest intentions.
Although the bruises on Shen Yi’s body looked severe, they were not a big deal, the real issue was the burn on his shoulder.
When Shen Yi lifted his arm, it caused his shoulder to move, and Wanwan was concerned that this would pull at his wound.
The doctor had specifically instructed not to make any sudden movements to avoid causing secondary injury, and Wanwan took this to heart.
Every slight lift of the hand made her uncontrollably anxious.
"Is this okay?" Shen Yi didn’t put his arm around Wanwan’s shoulders again but instead took her hand directly.
He watched Wanwan with a look full of indulgent affection, making her feel a bit embarrassed.
Ye Wanwan tried to appear calm as she looked at Shen Yi, then nodded casually, "Yeah."
Shen Yi chuckled softly and led Wanwan back to the car holding her hand.
It took over half a month for the burn on Shen Yi’s shoulder to slowly start scabbing.
The doctor said that a scar was likely to be permanent, but with the current medical aesthetic technology, it was easy to get rid of scars if one didn’t want them.
Shen Yi, however, didn’t care. The scar was on his shoulder, invisible to others, and besides, as a man, he didn’t mind a scar.
But every time Wanwan saw the gradually scabbing scar, she couldn’t help frowning, then falling into long silences.
"It’s almost healed." Shen Yi pulled up his pajama top to cover the scar, then took Wanwan’s hand, clearly trying to comfort her.
Ye Wanwan looked at Shen Yi in silence, but her eyes were still faintly red.
On that day at the hotel, she fell unconscious after Ye Shiying took her to a guest room, and she didn’t know how Shen Yi found her, nor how he got her out.
It wasn’t until a few days ago that she went online and found the news report from that day.
The video was filmed outside the hotel, the hotel’s lobby was already completely engulfed in flames, and people were shouting that it was too late, those inside couldn’t get out!
And in the next moment, Shen Yi burst from the fiery lobby carrying her.
For that day’s banquet, Shen Yi was dressed to the nines in a suit and tie, with a white shirt underneath. His jacket had been discarded at some point, and when he emerged from the blaze only the white shirt remained.
By then, he was in a sorry state, the custom-made high-end shirt burned in several places, his typically proud face smeared with black soot, his shoulder already a bloody mess.
After laying her on the stretcher, he attempted to follow, but collapsed to the ground. While the doctors and nurses put him into the ambulance, he coughed forcefully, even coughing up blood.
Whenever she thought of this, Ye Wanwan couldn’t control her emotions and felt overwhelmingly sad.
And she didn’t know, her expression to Shen Yi’s eyes, truly made his heart feel an indescribable bitterness.
Ever since he knew that Ye Wanwan remembered everything, he always wondered, with what kind of mindset was she loving him?
She knew it was herself who caused her death!
Yet she had fallen into his hands once again.
