he elevator, Shen Xiujing didn't stop Xi Chen."Where are the women"Xi Chen's eyes glowed blue, and he scanned his surroundings with his laser vision, searching for a target."This is the Dong Huang, if...It was raining heavily and the wind was also cold, but this person said he wasn't cold.

"Get in the car." She said without hesitation, wriggling out of his arms.

Taking unsteady steps, she walked towards the car a short distance away. As she got out and walked towards him, every step felt like carrying a thousand pounds. But on the way back, her steps were much lighter.

Jian Tong opened the rear car door.

"No."

That man said, "No." He stood stubbornly at the car door, as unyielding as a nail, refusing to budge.

Why not

"I don't want to sit here." The man, like a child, insisted, "I don't want to sit here, I want to sit there." He pointed with his hand, right at the passenger seat.

Jian Tong was stunned for a moment, then looked at the man beside her with a dazed expression, "Just...for this" She refused to get in the car, just because she wanted to sit in the passenger seat

This person is foolish, how come she can't keep up with his pace even more than his normal self before

“In order to get closer to my older sister.” The man looked serious. When he said this with such simple eyes and unwavering determination, Jian Tong’s heart couldn’t help but tremble.

She said nothing, standing in the pouring rain. She walked around to the passenger seat and beckoned him over. "Come here," she said, opening the car door with a blank expression, raising her head and gesturing toward the man who was still on the other side of the vehicle.

The next moment, her eyelids twitched again. The man's face, which had just been stubbornly refusing to yield, immediately broke into a smile. He skipped happily to her side and suddenly leaned in, quickly kissing her cheek: "Big sister, you're so kind."

Jian Tong could no longer tell, this person... what was going on with them.

For real You forgot everything, even your personality changed

Ah, no, wasn't Professor Luther the one who said he only has the intelligence of an eight-year-old

I reached out and touched my cheek, as if there was still a trace of warmth remaining.

She pursed her lips, silently walked around to the driver's seat, opened and closed the door.

Start the engine, press the accelerator, and the car slowly pulls away.

"Do you know Yu Xing's phone number" She casually tossed her phone to her. "Can you use it Find Yu Xing's phone number and call him. Let him know you're safe."

That person flatly said, "Yes." He took the phone Xiaotong threw over and held it in his palm. After a while, he looked hesitant.

Jian Tong looked at her with questioning eyes.

Then, the person held their phone in both hands and carefully opened their mouth: "Password..."

Jian Tong gripped the steering wheel, suddenly pausing, silent for a moment before calmly reporting a string of digits: "0926."

926, the name she had for three years.

Bai Yuxing's call came through, Jian Tong shoved her Bluetooth earpiece into her ear:

"I found him, he's here with me."

The person on the phone, a string of questions.

He found me here. I met him outside the Shen manor.

Bai Yu walked away after saying something else, then hung up the phone.

The car drove towards Ginza Garden. It was already past one in the morning when the car entered the underground parking garage of Ginza Garden. She led this person and took the elevator straight to the residents' floor within the underground parking garage.

This property originally belonged to Shen Xiujin. The place is quite spacious, but the layout of this house is suitable for single people or young couples.

One bedroom, one living room, open kitchen and bathroom. Even the study is just an open-plan study on the side of the living room.

"Go take a shower." She rummaged through her belongings until she found a loose, oversized shirt. It reached somewhere above her knees, and she wasn't sure if it would even fit, but it was the only thing she could find here that she might be able to wear.

Take the towel and throw it to him together.

After giving him his toiletries, Jian Tong went to the kitchen to prepare some food.

After a while, he turned his head and saw that the man was still standing there, motionless: “Why haven’t you gone in to wash yet”

“I…” The man looked at her with pitiful eyes: “Big sister, won’t you help Xiu wash”

"Why should I bathe you" she reflexively asked him.

"Shen Er always helps A Xiu, doesn't he"

“...”

She stared at the man standing there, her eyes fixed on him without blinking... Is this really so natural

For a moment, I was speechless.

Then, she gave him a cold look and said: "Wash it yourself. There's no Shen Er here. If you want someone to help you bathe, go back to that big house quickly."

Why would she help him take a bath

Don't think that because he went through so much trouble to find her, she will forget everything that happened in the past.

Don't think that just because his shoes are worn out, she'll have a change of heart about him.

No way!

His eyes were filled with disappointment, he lowered his head and after a while, meekly said, "Ashu wash it himself."

The living room fell silent, with only Jian Tong left.

Leaning against the kitchen sink, she shifted her gaze restlessly from the bathroom doorway... What was wrong with her!

A fire was burning in my stomach, I don't know if it was because of me or because of that person.

She hated herself for her softening at the gates of the Shen Manor just now, because of that person's actions.

Little kid, you're so useless!

Remember, don't forget.

Remember the pain, remember the heart-wrenching moment.

Do not forget the past, forgetting the past is tantamount to betrayal of oneself.

Yes, yes, she's not soft-hearted. She's just too tired today because of the grievances she suffered at the hospital during the day.

A pot of boiling water on the stovetop bubbled merrily. Jian Tong came to her senses, rubbed her temples, and the fatigue etched upon her brow seemed to lessen slightly.

She had just fished the noodles out of the pot when the bathroom door opened.

Turning her head, the man stood in the doorway, his body haphazardly wrapped in a large bath towel. When she saw his muscular physique, she was stunned…

"So fast"

"The elder sister got drenched in the rain too, but Ashu only cared about himself washing."

Those eyes, they held nothing but shame for her.

Such innocent eyes...

She steadied her nerves and deliberately put on a cold face: "There's only noodles, if you don't eat them, you can only go hungry. If you want to be fed, go back to Shen Er's side."

Without a word, he walked silently into the bathroom and slammed the door shut.

She slammed the door with all her might, as if the louder the sound, the harder her heart became.

There's still a meeting with the other party tomorrow, Jian Tong hurriedly showered, warming his body up, then hastily dried himself and changed into pajamas.

When she came out, the man was sitting at the dining table, having finished a bowl of noodles. Seeing her, he immediately put on a delighted smile and beckoned to her:

"Big sister, come eat noodles."

She only glanced at him, then deliberately ignored him, walked past, ate a little at random, put down her chopsticks, and returned to the bedroom. She took out a thin quilt from the closet and walked out, throwing it onto the sofa and saying faintly, "You sleep here tonight."

Axiu wants to sleep in bed.

"Want to sleep in bed" Jian Tong walked up to the bedroom door and suddenly stopped, turning around with a cold stare. "Sure, you can sleep in bed. Just wait until you get back to Shen Er's place." You could even sleep on top of the pyramids if you wanted.

This night, she was very flustered, hating her own softness for no reason.

Before she drifted off to sleep, she told herself: I can be soft-hearted towards anyone, but not him.

As soon as Bai Yuxing woke up in the morning, his phone call had already come through.

"I can't this morning, I have a very important meeting here." she said. "But I could get back in the afternoon."

The discussion was about Shen Xiujin.

The person on the phone hesitated for a moment before saying, “I have something to discuss with you. How about two o’clock this afternoon at your place”

She hung up the phone, propped her chin on her hands, and stared intently at the man beside her. She narrowed her eyes: "What are you looking at me for"

"Big sister, you're so pretty."

The innocent voice, if she hadn't heard it with her own ears and seen it with her own eyes, she wouldn't have believed it no matter what. Such a pure voice, actually coming from that man.

"Pretty" she slowly raised her lips, a hint of sarcasm in her voice. "Is the scar on my forehead pretty too"

That person fell silent for a moment, and a hint of mockery flickered in her heart. Just as she was about to stand up, a voice, soft yet resonant, broke the silence:

"No matter where she goes, Big Sister is beautiful. In Ashu's eyes, Big Sister is the most beautiful person in the world."

Jian Tong suddenly clenched her fists and turned to flee in a panic.

When I had worn down the best years of my life, you told me that in your eyes, I was the most beautiful woman in the world.

Shen Xiujin, if you could say even a single word to me before my heart withers away, I think it would become one of the few lights in my life, and one of the rare moments of joy.

She stepped into the elevator and left without looking back.

Vivian was already waiting for her downstairs, "General Jian, you don't look well."

A glass of milk and a sandwich were handed to Jian Tong who had just gotten on the car.

"You didn't sleep well last night, Vivian. Thank you."

What are you talking about, what's so polite

Jian Tong quickly finished his breakfast and asked Vivian, "Is everything ready"

“Ready, everything’s in the folder in my bag.”

Jane started looking through the files in her folder.

"Little one, close your eyes and rest for a while. I've checked these documents three times last night, there shouldn't be any problems."

Thus, she was still uneasy.

Vivian could only shake her head.

Jian Tong is really pushing himself too hard, almost to the point of being abnormal.

There were some things she'd always wanted to ask, but she held back.

But look at how Jian Tong is treating this negotiation, his attitude is surprisingly serious.

"If you have something to say, just ask."

Jian Tong didn't lift his head from the file, but seemed to sense Vivian's hesitation.

Vivian pondered for a moment: "Little One, technically speaking, I shouldn't ask, but..."

"Ask if you have any questions, otherwise, nothing."

"Well...I asked," Vivian said.

"Little child, the Jian family... aren't they..."

"Yes." Before she could finish her sentence, Jian Tong, who was engrossed in the documents in her hand, replied firmly. The man looked at her with surprise, his eyes clean and unable to hide his thoughts."Seeing this, Jian Tong's eyelids drooped slightly. When she raised them again, a kind smile replaced her previous...
