CH 47

Inside the alley, the girl cried out loudly, and the young man comforted her helplessly, the afterglow of the setting sun falling, a scene that was somewhat sad yet beautiful.

Lui Heng walked over and was thinking of breaking the beautiful scene when Jiam shot him a pleading look, as if to warn him that if he dared to look on the sidelines again, he would be done with him.

With no choice, he broke the stagnant atmosphere with a soft cough: "Ahem!"

Annie stopped crying at the sound and sniffled. She glanced at Lui Heng with her eyes, still holding on to Jane.

He pushed her, "Calm down Annie, don't be afraid, it's okay, they've run away, do you know them, do you remember what they look like, can you identify them if you see them again?"

Annie looked at him suspiciously, "Are you going to find them, aren't you afraid they will bully you too?"

Jian Shiwu revealed a smile, but it’s no longer the harmless kind of smile, but one with a bit of edge, a danger she had never seen before, and he said it in a very easy tone, but’s one that sent a chill down the back: "The person who is afraid now is not necessarily the one who is afraid yet."

Anne suddenly got a chill down her back.

Lui Heng behind her smiled and walked over to take Jian’s shoulders, "Annie, don't worry about it, our moon is not easy to bully."

Jian shot him a look, "Don't call me Moon."

Because his name was Shiwu, the homophonic sound is 15, there was a saying about the moon of 15, and because of this, sometimes Lui Heng and their close friends would call him the moon.

Annie watched their antics and gradually relaxed.

Jian asked for her home’s address, which happened to be on the same road as his own home. As Lui Heng’s home was not on the same road, he left first, and Jian sent Annie home.

It was early autumn, and it was still very hot during the day, but at night the temperature dropped, the sky was getting darker, the leaves on the roadside were yellowing and dying, and on the way back, in order to make the little girl stop crying and distract her, Jian told her some Chinese folk tales: "Later Hua Mulan became a famous heroine. "

Annie listened quietly, "She was so brave."

Jane said, "Yes, there is nothing that cannot be done as long as one is full of courage inside, Mulan gained people’s recognition and respect through her own efforts, and girls like this are very much respected and loved."

Looking at Annie's crying red eyes, Jian Shiwu sighed helplessly, "So don't you cry either."

Annie listened to his warm voice, and a sweet taste spread in her heart, in fact she had met many many boys, and many people who had been extremely nice to her, but those people might have loved her looks, might have loved her family or their money, and she had been courted since she was a child, because of her bloodline, because of that noble title, she had gotten a lot and seemed to get nothing.

When she first met Shen Cheng, she felt that this boy treated her differently.

She used to think that Shen Cheng didn't like her because she wasn't good enough, but now that she really knew Jane Shiwu, she realised that it was because Jian Shiwu was too good.

Annie's eyelashes trembled slightly: "Jian Shiwu ......"

Jian Shiwu twisted his head and inquired, "What's wrong?"

Looking at his own young face still with injuries, but those eyes are full of tenderness, extraordinarily gentle, looking down at her, making her heart flutter. Annie used to feel envy and jealous of Shen Cheng liking him, now just one afternoon, she actually felt that Jian Shiwu liking Shen Cheng is too bad.

That boy, cold and heartless, too mysterious and dangerous, likes Jian Shiwu this so kind and wonderful person? Annie's mind was racing with thoughts, and she hesitated to tell Jian Shiwu what she knew, to tell him that Shen Cheng liked him, to tell him about Shen Cheng's underhanded ways, to tell him that it would be best to stay far, far away from Shen Cheng.

Jian Shiwu saw her frowning and inquired, "What's wrong?"

Annie made up her mind secretly as she tilted her face up, "Do you know why I didn't have a driver to pick me up today and why I didn't call home ?"

Jane Shiwu hadn't thought anything of it, but it was the way Annie was looking at him so solemnly, that the seriousness of it sent an inexplicable chill through his heart, and for a moment, even without Annie saying anything, Jian Shiwu could probably guess the answer: "Yes, because ......"

"Hmm,"Annie held her phone out to Jian Shiwu, "It's him."

"I reckon my driver's in-car system has him to blame for not picking me up in time." A sarcastic smile crossed Anne's lips, "I have no need to lie."

She had secretly inquired about the relationship between Jian Shiwu and Shen Cheng, knowing that the two had been together since primary school and had a deep friendship, she didn't know exactly when Shen Cheng started liking Jian Shiwu, but she knew that Jian Shiwu had definitely not discovered Shen Cheng's true nature.

She suddenly wondered, if all this had collapsed, would the young man in front of her have any more contact with Shen Cheng, and what would he, in turn, think?

"I think there is actually some sort of misunderstanding about this.”

Jian’s voice came in her ears, Annie looked up at him in shock, but saw the young man excusing Shen Cheng: "You’re in the same school, what good would it do for Shen Cheng to do this for no reason, Annie, don't think too much about it, although Shen Cheng is usually not very expressive, he's not a bad boy."

No, you're the one who's thinking too little.

Annie felt a mouthful of blood choking in her throat as she subconsciously blurted out, "How is it that he's not a bad boy for nothing, he is because…."

Jian looked at her quietly.

"Because..." Annie pursed her lips, inwardly torn for the millionth time, and finally gave up in general: "It's nothing, maybe I'm thinking too much."

She couldn't tell Jian Shiwu that Shen Cheng liked him, just in case Jian Shiwu actually cared about it and the  two really did become one, wouldn't she have no chance!

Sure enough, Jian Shiwu smiled with satisfaction, "Well, is that your house up ahead, I think I see someone waving at you."

Annie said yes, she was also frightened today, so she didn't stay for long.. She made an appointment to come back next time to play, and then she went off.

Jian Shiwu had been watching Annie leave at the same place, waiting for her back to disappear. After walking far, the smile that had been on his face faded away, and it became gloomy in the twilight

This kind of heroic rescue scene shouldn’t it be a male and female lead drama, why did it turn to him, also, Annie is now obviously enstranged to Shen Cheng, and there seems to be a lot of misunderstandings. But how could the female and male protagonist start this  kind of conflict, shouldn’t they be sweet in love!

Jian Shiwu sighed inwardly, somewhat helplessly.

Sure enough, in the past few years abroad, Shen Cheng's temperament has not changed in the slightest because of the changes in the environment. For a time, he didn't know whether to be happy or emotional, after all, he was not dire straits like the Ji family. In the rich and powerful family one can’t be a soft persimmon and should protect themselves by some means.

In the past few years, no matter how the butterfly effect was instigated, no matter how the plotline changes, Shen Cheng will not change. What should happen will still come, or in other words, no matter what efforts he makes, he can't stop Shen Cheng going that way, everything seems to be moving towards the main line of fate, so is he not destined to escape?

Shen Cheng, even if we do it all over again, won't it change your fate and mine change?

Day 2

"What happened to your face?"

As soon as Jian Shiwu arrived at school, it sparked a hot debate.

The small bruises and scrapes were evident on that otherwise fair and clean little face, cuts that had been caused by a confrontation.

Jian Shiwu didn't want to worry his friends: "Hahahaha it's okay just a little accident."

He was explaining to his friend when Shen Cheng, who had just arrived at the school not far away, saw him from a distance and looked at the cuts on his face with narrow eyes.

Jian Shiwu's side waz surrounded by quite a few people, when Shen Cheng walked over, others subconsciously would move aside to let them talk, not intentionally.

Even if Shen Cheng did not do anything, it’s just that some people carry their own aura, his is intimidating and scary, they subconsciously dared to offend Shen Cheng.

It just so happens that there was a relay race starting in the class, and most of the people had gone to cheer for it, so for a while, there were only two people left in the corner of the block.

Shen Cheng stood fixed in front of Jane Shiwu, he looked at Jian Shiwu's face and said in a deep voice: "How did you get it"

Jian Shiwu saw him inexplicably nervous: "It's just ......"

"Why is it like this, this time?" Shen Cheng is a head taller than him, he stood in front of Jian Shiwu, stretching out his slender hand to touch the wound, but saw Jane Shiwu subconsciously scowl and tilt his head in a small movement, even though the child in front of him has been very controlled, trying not to reveal his emotions, but some subconscious self-protective behavior still betrayed him.

Shen Cheng's movements were fixed in mid-air.

When he was silent, the atmosphere was undoubtedly terrifying and simmering, and Jian Shiwu whispered, "There was a bit of a confrontation with someone, but I didn't suffer much, don't you worry."

Shen Cheng withdrew his hand and pressed his temper: "??"

Jian Shiwu dared not let him take action, and hurriedly said, "I can solve it myself, don't you worry."

Not only did his reassurance not have an effect, on the contrary, the air around him became more and more chilly, just when Jian Shiwu thought that Shen Cheng would not him a bad look and might fling his sleeves away, Shen Cheng spoke, "I have a better ointment there, it works well, later I will bring it to..."

Jane Shiwu subconsciously said, "No, I have my own."

The air fell silent again.

In the midst of the stalemate, Lui Heng not far away called out to Jian Shiwu, probably the teacher was looking for him, Jian Shiwu felt relief, he hurriedly said to Shen Cheng, "Then I'll go over first, talk to you next time."

Shen Cheng said in a light voice: "Go ahead."

The moment the two boys were about to pass each other, Jian heard Shen Cheng's low, magnetic voice ring out, "You're afraid of me."

Jian Shiwu went stiff.

Shen Cheng stood still, he lifted his head to look ahead, his face calm: "Because of what, I have never even shouted at you."

Jian Shiwu face was pale, his blood accelerated in general, the showdown came unexpectedly he did not have any psychological preparations, lips trembling, raw to squeeze out the words: "I do not, you don’t think too much, is there any misunderstanding, did I just say something wrong, you ...... "

Shen Cheng turned to face him, those deep as ink eyes as if a bottomless abyss, he looked at the scared little rabbit that was about to shrink , stepped a few feet towards Jian Shiwu and walked closer, with his approach, Jian Shiwu subconsciously shrunk back, even if his mouth did not say, but tge body is the first to react.

Jian Shiwu called out softly, "Shen Cheng ......"

The corners of Shen Cheng's mouth curled up into a sarcastic smile.

For a moment, in the sunlight, he suddenly thought of back then, when Jian Shiwu was still chubby, and he was also this nervous, saying to him, "Shen Cheng, I like you."

"Don't you be like that."

The memory of the young man had a coy smile on his face: "Can you stay with me?"

"I have to go, the teacher is still calling for me."

Jian Shiwu stepped away towards the crowd not far away, Shen Cheng stood quietly in place, on a warm morning like this, he remembered the words Gao Can had once coldly scolded at him on that rainy night: "You are a heartless, cold-blooded child who will never taste love in this life."

In the sunlight, Shen Cheng looked up at the fading figure not far away, perhaps the sun was a bit harsh, he squinted, his eyes moved slightly. The ink-coloured eyes were much wetter than before, the boy stood quietly in the shadows where the sun could not shine, just as countless times, he was also this way looking at Jian Shiwu in the sunlight.

A little bit of pain like a needle poke came from the heart, like a net wrapping a person in death.

Even when Gao Can was cold, he didn't feel pain, even when he ate a lot of pain abroad, both explicitly and implicitly, he didn't feel pain, but now, he felt so much pain.
