CH 20

At this time in the neighbouring room……

Si Jinze was originally cutting off the thorns from roses, all these roses were ones he planted in the garden for Ran Muxun when he was eighteen, in the past, he would pick a bunch from time to time to give to her, they were planted with his own hands, plucked out with his own hands, and with his own hands, all their thorns were pulled out one by one……

Like his previous heart wished, with his own hands, he will get rid of all her protective shields!

Make her……

Be lonely and without anyone to turn to, only able to depend solely on him!

He wants her to lose all of her sharp edges, only blossoming for him……

He didn’t expect to hear Lu Bailing say such words.

The rose was gripped deathly tight in his hands, sharp thorns already, one by one, piercing into his palm, fresh red blood trickled down the stem of the rose…..

However Si Jinze appeared as if it didn’t hurt at all, he calmly relaxed the grip around the rose, allowing blood from his palm to drip over the red roses, the rose petals suddenly had a more delicate allure……

Ah Lu Bailing…….

Looks like he needs to start taking action earlier!

Si Jinze’s eyes glinted with a bloodthirsty light.

In the next room, Lu Bailing insincerely consoled Ran Muxun, taking Ran Muxun to walk outside, “You should go outside and have a walk, being closed up in your room all day, of course your frame of mind will be terrible….eek…..”

As soon as they went out, Lu Bailing saw Si Jinze, as well as…..

The already treated wound on his hand.

Lu Bailing frowned, and released Ran Muxun, “Jinze, what’s wrong with your hand?”

She stepped forward wanting to grab Si Jinze’s hand to have a closer look, but was avoided by Si Jinze. 

Si Jinze didn’t even glance at her, he walked in front of Ran Muxun, and supported her. 

Ran Muxun stretched out her hand, somewhat disoriented in trying to grab Si Jinze’s hand, Si Jinze was taken aback, reaching out his other uninjured hand to hold onto hers, “Ranran, what’s wrong? What are you looking for?”

Ran Muxun asked with some worry, “Your hands…..Jinze gege, you’re injured?”

Her concern had considerable use on Si Jinze, his eyes instantly melted, and even his voice became a lot more gentle, “I’m fine, just was a little careless, and got pricked by a flower thorn.” 

“Were they rose thorns?” Ran Muxun’s eyebrows creased, recalling the fresh roses on her bedside table that get replaced every morning……

These flowers, did he personally pick and pull out the thorns for all of them?

Ran Muxun bit her lower lip, “Jinze gege, in the future don’t do this, if you are injured, my heart will hurt.”1

Heart…..hurt?

Si Jinze’s heart softened immediately, the expression he looked at Ran Muxun with was as gentle as water. 

Lu Bailing watched this scene, heart so stifled it almost wouldn’t work. However, when Si Jinze ignored her and walked to Ran Muxun’s side just then, only did it come to her mind, right now Ran Muxun is a blind person, if she releases her like this, it seems to appear as though……she as the so-called big sister didn’t really care about her. 

Hastily moving forwards, Lu Bailing struggled to pull out a smile. 

“Tonight’s barbecue is still going forward, right? Let Ranran liven up, and change her mood.” Her meticulously planned barbecue……cannot be just cancelled like this!

Ranran? Is this name something she can call?

Si Jinze narrowed his eyes, coldly glanced at Lu Bailing, and nodded without expressing an opinion. 

Lu Bailing’s smile somewhat stiffened, watching Si Jinze support Ran Muxun, upon reaching the stairway entrance, with great ease, he once again carried Ran Muxun!

The delicate make-up on Lu Bailing’s face was on the verge of crumbling. 

Slowing down by a few steps, Lu Bailing made a phone call while still on the upper floor, “Hey, Ji Xun……”

In the living room, Si Jinze narrowed his eyes, and glanced upstairs…..

1. 心疼: Decided to translate literally because heart hurting basically means the same thing as distressed, and more conductive to the ……..like dis….tressed? eh.
