Chapter 13

Under the dim light, in front of the small shop with a fishy smell, half of Chi Shen's face was dyed red, and the blood concentrated on the chin along the jaw line, dripping down drop by drop.

Qiao Zhen Zhen looked even more angry, she gritted her teeth and asked the bald man: "Why do you beat people like this? Do you know it's illegal, believe it or not, I'll call the police to arrest you now!"

The bald man glanced at her impatiently and recognized that she was the girl who came to Chi Shen last time: "Where's the girl, hurry up and get rid of me, I'm in a bad mood now, whoever the fuck you are."

"Keep your mouth clean." Qiao Zhen Zhen's face was black.

The bald man sneered: "I don't fucking clean it up, what can you do to me?"

As he spoke, he approached Qiao Zhenzhen waving the knife, the blade of the blade shone with icy light, Qiao Zhenzhen flinched in fright, just as she was about to summon up the courage to confront him, a hand suddenly grabbed the bald man with the knife. hand.

The bald man raised his head to meet Chi Shen's condensed gaze, and his heart burst into flames for a while: "You've grown up, right? Let me go!"

As he spoke, he tried to break free.

Chi Shen stared at him, his thin arm was only half his thickness, but he firmly controlled him.

The bald man struggled twice but did not break free, and immediately became agitated, and slapped his other hand directly in the face.

Qiao Zhen Zhen's pupils shrank, she subconsciously wanted to stop, but her favorability value had been cleared, so she could only watch his slap go towards Chi Shen.

The thick voice sounded, and Chi Shen's face was directly hit, and a little blood spilled from the corners of his lips, but his hand was still clutching the bald man's wrist. Qiao Zhen Zhen watched his face getting red and swollen from being beaten, and her eyes instantly turned red.

The bald man felt the pain in his wrist, and he immediately froze: "Fuck you..."

"What's the noise? Are you telling me to sleep?" The impatient voice of a middle-aged woman came from the store.

Qiao Zhen Zhen recognized Chi Shen's mother's voice, her eyes lit up, she was about to ask her for help, but she stretched out her head to take a look, then retracted cursingly: "Damn, it's not a day to save people's worries, Fight, fight, kill one less, don't fucking delay my sleep..."

Qiao Zhen Zhen's heart froze instantly.

She took a deep breath and took advantage of the bald man to pull Chi Shen's other hand. Chi Shen's eyes flashed a bit of daze, the gloom melted away like water, and she was dragged behind him obediently.

The bald man regained his freedom, rubbed his bruised wrist, and was about to step forward with a knife in his hand, when Qiao Zhenzhen suddenly said, "Although this place is remote, it's not that there is no surveillance, if you dare to do it again, you must Bear the consequences."

The bald man smiled: "What's the consequence? I didn't touch you. I beat my son, and killing him is also a family matter. What does it have to do with you?"

"But the picture of you threatening me with a knife has been recorded by surveillance," Qiao Zhenzhen looked at him coldly, "You can go and find out who I am, others can't touch you, it doesn't mean I can't."

Most of what she said was bluffing. She was betting on a bald-headed man who had never seen the world and felt that if he had money, he could do whatever he wanted.

Sure enough, when the bald man heard the words, he was cowardly and gave Chi Shen a vicious look: "I will settle the account with you when she is gone!"

After saying that, he went back to the store swearing. The neighbors under the street lights saw that there was no liveliness to watch, so they quickly dispersed, and the streets of the snack street suddenly became empty.

Qiao Zhenzhen breathed a sigh of relief, and started flipping through her schoolbag in a hurry, after finding her phone, she shivered and called 120, while comforting with a trembling voice: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, I'll call an ambulance now, you'll be fine... …”

As she spoke, her fingertips pressed numbers on the phone with difficulty. When she pressed the third number, a cold pale hand covered her phone.

She was blank for a moment and looked up at him.

"I'm fine, don't be afraid." He said hoarsely.

Qiao Zhenzhen: "..."

"Don't go to the hospital," he said again.

Qiao Zhen Zhen's lips moved, and before she could speak, he took the phone away from the lock screen, put it in her schoolbag, then turned around and walked into the store with his head down.

Looking at his calm back, Qiao Zhen Zhen felt a pain in her heart and subconsciously grabbed the corner of his clothes. If Chi Shen felt something, he stopped.

"...Go to the hospital," she took a deep breath, "go now."

Chi Shen was silent.

"If you don't go, I won't go." She gritted her teeth.

Chi Shen finally reacted, pursed his lips and looked back at her.

"Please..." Qiao Zhen Zhen's eyes turned red.

Chi Shen finally felt moved.

Half an hour later, the hospital emergency.

"Oh, for such a long wound, it is conservatively estimated that about eight stitches are needed. The young man doesn't study hard and learns to fight. Do you know that if the wound is further down, your eyes will not be able to be protected?"

The doctor who sewed the needles was getting old and debridement while chatting.

Qiao Zhen Zhen stared at it for a while, and finally because the wound was so ferocious, she couldn't help turning her face away, and she suddenly felt remorse in her heart. If she hadn't easily used up those 80 points of goodwill today, maybe he wouldn't have to get hurt.

"The system does not have the ability to predict, and neither does the host, so don't deny yourself easily." Xiao Ba suddenly spoke to comfort.

Qiao Zhenzhen pursed her lips and didn't answer, she didn't recover until the doctor said it was dealt with.

"I used anesthesia just now, go and sit outside for half an hour before walking." The doctor reminded.

Qiao Zhenzhen said thanks, helped Chi Shen to stand up, and the two walked out of the emergency room in silence.

It was nearly twelve o'clock at night, and there were few people even in the emergency room, and there were only two of them in the huge waiting area.

Qiao Zhen Zhen sat next to Chi Shen and asked after a while, "Does it hurt?"

"It doesn't hurt." Chi Shen replied.

Qiao Zhen Zhen paused for a while, her hands suddenly cupped his face, forcing him to look at herself. The lower jaw was wrapped in a soft little hand, Chi Shen was stunned for a moment, and when he came back to his senses, he was already face to face with her.

"You want to say it hurts," Qiao Zhenzhen looked at him seriously, "Except for people who don't have pain nerves, everyone will feel pain."

Chi Shen stared at her, his thin lips moved slightly.

"You have so many stitches, how can it not hurt?"

"Don't bear it when it hurts, don't let your body get used to the pain, no one deserves to get used to the pain, that's not right."

"Say, you hurt."

Chi Shen's lips that had lost too much blood turned pale. After a long time, he finally said with difficulty: "I... it hurts."

Qiao Zhen Zhen felt even more distressed, she couldn't help but reached out and hugged him.

When the first hug in his life came, Chi Shen's whole person froze, the two were soft, and it was another world that was incompatible with him.

But the world embraced him.

This is not right, the fishy smell on his body will only contaminate the world.

Chi Shen woke up suddenly, took a step back nervously and could not refuse, and broke free from her embrace.

Qiao Zhenzhen: "..."

After a short silence, Chi Shen turned his face away with difficulty: "I don't want to be your friend."

Qiao Zhen Zhen was speechless, she stretched out her fingers and poked the blue veins on the back of his hand.

[Favorite +20, 100 existing points]

"...What nonsense, you want to be friends with me in your dreams." Qiao Zhen Zhen gave him a sideways look.

Chi Shen pursed his thin lips and said nothing.

Just as Qiao Zhenzhen was about to ask more questions, she suddenly saw a familiar figure out of the corner of the eye, she immediately got up and greeted her: "Mom."

Qin Jingzheng looked around, and immediately rushed over when she saw her, grabbed her hand and looked carefully for a long time, after making sure she was all right, she finally breathed a sigh of relief and cursed: "If you don't speak clearly, hang up, am I short of your phone bill? ?! Why did you go to the hospital in the middle of the night, don't you know I'm worried..."

"I know," Qiao Zhen Zhen interrupted quickly, "Didn't I call you in advance because I was afraid of your worries?"

Qin Jing glared at her and was about to speak when she saw Chi Shen standing up at a loss behind her.

She paused and frowned when she saw the gauze on Chi Shen's forehead.

"It wasn't from a fight," Qiao Zhenzhen knew her own mother too well, she knew from the look on her face that she had misunderstood, so she quickly explained in a low voice, "His father beat him."

Sure enough, Qin Jing's eyes became sympathetic in a second, and she walked to Chi Shen with a frown, looked up and down and sighed: "It's really pitiful, isn't the injury serious?"

"...No." Chi Shen lowered his eyes.

Qin Jing sighed again and turned to look at Qiao Zhen Zhen: "What should I do now, can he go home?"

"You can't go home, you will be beaten," Qiao Zhenzhen explained quickly, "Why don't you book a hotel for him to stay for one night."

She needs a moment to think about how to prevent him from being hurt a second time.

"What hotel are you staying in if you are injured? Let's go back to our house first. I will meet with your parents tomorrow and have a good chat about it." Qin Jing said after deliberation.

Qiao Zhen Zhen had long expected that she would be soft-hearted, so she nodded implicitly: "I don't have any opinion, after all, we are all classmates."

Chi Shen paused: "No need..."

"Then it's settled. The driver is waiting outside. If you have nothing to do, let's go." Qin Jing made a decision directly.

Qiao Zhen Zhen immediately agreed: "Okay, let's go."

"I do not need……"

"Do you want to upset my mother?" Qiao Zhen Zhen suddenly lowered her voice.

Chi Shen's fingertips trembled, looked up at Qin Jing's murderous eyes, and then fell silent.

In the end, he went home with her in a daze.

It was past twelve o'clock in the evening, and as soon as she entered the house, Qiao Zhenzhen was driven back to her room, and Qin Jing took Chi Shen to the guest room in person.

"The other rooms in the house haven't been cleaned up. You should live here first, don't think about anything," Qin Jing led him into the house, but she didn't go in. "Have a good rest, you know, I have to go back to school tomorrow."

"...Thank you." Chi Shen spoke slowly.

Hearing his slightly difficult voice, Qin Jing had probably guessed that there was something wrong with his throat, and her heart suddenly became softer: "Dear, go to sleep."

After she finished speaking, she no longer lingered, and gently closed the door from the outside.

Chi Shen was the only one left in the room. Standing quietly in this exquisitely decorated room, he suddenly felt a sense of loneliness that was out of place.

He was silent for a long time, and finally reached out and grabbed the door handle, ready to leave quietly, but the moment he pressed it, a faint voice came from outside the door: "Little mushroom, open the door, I want to come in."

Chi Shen: "..."
