elegance. Jian Tong stood at the bathroom door, unable to move… because she didn't want to get too close to him. If possible, what she wanted most at this moment was a "whoosh" sound, to shut the ba...My hand was grabbed.

"Gee, Tongtong, why are your hands so wet"

"... "

"Tongtong, why are you sitting on the ground" The person chattered away and was also about to learn to sit on the ground:

"Like this, sitting is very comfortable. Then I also..."

"Shut up!" Her head began to throb again, and she rubbed her temples.

"Is it comfortable on the ground, Tongtong" he continued to chatter.

Click... She swore she actually heard the sound of her knuckles cracking.

To prevent this person from going on and on, Jian Tong gave him a look of annoyance:

"My legs are weak."

"That..."

Jian Tong hurriedly stopped the man's words: "Are you asking why my legs are weak" 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 expression: "You were just asking if the ground is comfortable"

"Yeah, Tongtong, is the ground comfortable"

"Come here, yes, a little closer," she beckoned with a smile, kind and approachable like never before. To eight-year-old Shen Xiujin's mind, she was just a friendly little sister,

Look, the little sister's smile is so beautiful, I can't get enough of it.

"Mmm, yeah, still far, let's get a little closer."

The little sister's smile is getting more and more beautiful.

"Come, sit down. You'll know if it's comfortable or not once you sit down."

Jian Tong kindly pointed to the side, and the man stared with wide, innocent eyes, "Really" He then sat down anyway.

Jian Tong's face instantly turned bad: "Stand there!"

"Ah..."

"Don't move!" Her face darkened, "Do you believe everything I say without thinking Think for yourself, would it be comfortable sitting on the ground"

"Everything Tongtong says is right, I believe everything Tongtong says."

How innocent the words, how clean the eyes... how simple the trust!

But she almost felt a suffocating feeling rising in her chest.

"Whatever I say, ... will you believe it"

"Yes! Tong Tong said, 'A Xiu believes!'"

She fell silent.

Silence for a very, very long time.

Until the man stood awkwardly before her: "Tongtong, this ground... well, it seems a bit uncomfortable to sit on. It's chilly."

“

Taking a glance back, he realized that the person had actually sat down on the ground while she was lost in her thoughts.

A flicker of astonishment crossed his eyes, vanishing in an instant.

"Well...maybe it's because Ashu's pants are uncomfortable today. He should change them next time." The person added, thinking she didn't like being questioned.

A flash of light flickered in Jian Tong's eyes before disappearing: "So, right or wrong, you believe everything I say"

"Well! Tongtong says, Ashu believes it, and will always believe it!"

He swore it.

Jian Tong lowered her eyes… This time, she remained silent for several dozen seconds before raising her hand: “The ground is cold, help me up.”

That person stood up on their own and staggered over to help her. As soon as she touched him, he let out a hiss and almost fell himself.

She suddenly remembered that this man was probably covered in scars. Without saying a word, she supported him with one arm, limping and slowly walking home on foot:

"A lifetime... you fool, what's a lifetime"

A lifetime... Beneath that plain exterior, a voice roared, Don't trust him, he's an idiot.

She squeezed every bit of warmth out of her body, leaving nothing behind.

His expression gradually returned to indifference.

Chapter 298: Internal Bleeding

"How did you get there"

They supported each other and returned to this house. She opened the door and went in.

At this moment, I was more awake than ever. I suddenly turned around and stared at him with a severe expression.

How could he be there by such a coincidence

That man didn't seem to notice her emotional change, and innocently pointed to the balcony: "Tongtong goes to work every day, and Xiushi stands there and watches Tongtong's car leave."

Ashu knew when Tongtong got off work.

The implication is that he's been lying on the balcony, watching for her car to pull in, every day at her quitting time.

She was taken aback. What kind of answer, she had thought of every possibility, even... even...suspected...

However, I didn't expect this answer.

"The floor is so high, can you see it" she thought to herself again.

But the person had already pulled her to the balcony, "This was given to me by Brother Xichen,"

Jian Tong looked at the new thing on the balcony and was astonished again.

"It's been installed for a while now." A voice murmured beside his ear.

She lowered her eyes... Had she been pretending for a long time

And she, until today, only just discovered that there was such a thing on her balcony at home.

This telescope is not the same as the ones you buy at the supermarket or toy store.

Jian Tong didn't quite understand telescopes, but he vaguely knew that this one was definitely professional grade.

So—every day, during her commute to and from work, he would lie on the balcony watching her leave and return

For a moment, she couldn't think of anything else to say.

"Tongtong, I feel dizzy."

He tugged at her sleeve, looking wronged.

She looked at his face, and in the light, she saw that he was utterly disheveled.

Not only that, but his face was pale and his lips had lost their color.

She didn't say a word, reached out and took the person's hand, and walked towards the living room. Her steps were hurried. When they reached the living room, she still didn't say anything, reaching out and pushing the person onto the sofa.

Without a word, with a "ripping" sound, he tore open his clothes.

Shocking!

His eyes were filled with purplish bruises.

"Turn around." she said, her voice commanding.

As expected, the person uttered an "oh" and obediently followed suit.

Upon turning around, she gasped at the scene before her.

"Don't move, I'm going to call Xi Chen now!"

Jian Tong's face was solemn, and she frantically searched for her phone in her bag.

But his hand was grabbed: "Tongtong, it doesn't hurt, don't tell Xichen gege."

"No, your wound isn't light."

"No, Ah Xiu is not dizzy anymore."

That man stubbornly refused to let go of her hand that was clutching the phone. Jian Tong was getting impatient and tried to shake him off, ready to make a call, but the phone was snatched away from her.ing could be heard.All of a sudden, silently and soundlessly, she gently raised the corner of her lips into a faint smile. She looked up, her clear eyes betraying not a single hint of emotion, neithe...
