The instant his gaze met the man's, Jiang Yi turned his head away with lightning speed, as if one more glance would make him sick: "If you don't do what I say, then don't ever show your face in front of me again."

She touched the hard plaster on her leg. The anesthetic hadn't worn off completely yet, so she didn't feel much pain.

Jian Yi's eyes flashed a ruthless glint, his hands clenching the sheets tightly. He had broken his leg, he had to at least get something out of it.

The man's lips were tightly pressed together, his eyes cast downward, his expression unreadable as he looked at her: "Is this all you want, to marry him?"

"Yes, I don't want to marry him. Do you think I want to marry you instead? You are now, immediately, get out of my ward, or else don't blame me for telling my dad what you have done behind his back."

……

“Is this Jiang Yi really sick? The person who hit her isn’t you, so why is she acting like this? She’s so capable, she should go find the driver! What kind of moral blackmail is this? Just because she pushed you once, does that mean you have to go to the hospital and serve her tea and water, wash clothes and scrub her back? Otherwise, you're ungrateful and heartless?”

At this moment.

They were sitting in Qin Yuezhi's shop.

Shen Wanci rested one hand on her chin, lazily watching Qin Yuezhi across from her as she passionately complained: "You've been complaining since this morning, aren't you tired?"

Qin Yuezhi let out a snort: "It's only been one morning, and I still want to rush to the hospital to beat her up. This is cyberbullying."

This morning, photos of Jiang Yi lying alone on a hospital bed went viral.

In the photo, she is wearing the same dirty clothes she had on at the accident scene. She's struggling to carry a disposable foam takeout container and is hunched over eating.

The hospital's pale lights illuminated her clothes, a gruesome mixture of blood and ash, accentuated by the cold-toned filter, making the whole scene utterly tragic.

A large group of water armies commented below, all accusing Shen Wanci of being ungrateful and unrighteous. They even thoughtfully attached videos of the car accident scene and Jiang Yi pushing her away to clarify for those who were confused.

"The world is cold and indifferent. I won't help people anymore, it's the truth to live a good life for myself. Otherwise, I'll get hurt, and my family will suffer."

"To call someone a non-material cultural heritage craftsman or artist and then say such things, they are so immoral, it's shameful."

Shen Wanci saw Qin Yuezhi lowering her head, her fingers flying across the screen. She asked in confusion, "What are you doing?"

“I told those money-grubbing hypocrites off. They don't know anything, just spouting nonsense online all day and haven't made any real contributions to society. They just stand on their high moral ground and criticize others.”

" "

Shen Wanci was speechless and could only give her a thumbs-up. "Is Jingrui's matter resolved?"

"Well, I took Huo Tingdong in front of that group of people for a spin, and they withdrew the lawsuit," Qin Yuezhi said angrily when she mentioned it, her typing speed increased, "Qin Jingrui also learned a lesson. Let's see if he dares to be so impulsive in the future."

Shen Wanci: “Aren't you afraid that this will be heard by Lawyer Huo?”

Took a spin around...

It sounds like you're walking a dog.

Qin Yueyi waved her hand haughtily: "Hearing it doesn't mean anything, I and he will never see each other again from now on."

She swallowed her pride and got involved with him, wasn't it just to have more friends and options when things got tough? But now it's clear this path won't work. What else is there for her to endure?

Given Huo Tingdong's temper, she couldn't stay away from him fast enough.

Qin Yuezhi's movements paused for a moment: "By the way, have you been in contact with Qin Heyi recently? I haven't heard anything about him going on a mission either, so why has he gone silent?"

Shen Wanci frowned: "Can't get in touch? What does that mean?"

"Just turn off your phone," Qin Yuezhi comforted her, seeing that she didn't know what to do. "Maybe he has something urgent to attend to. His profession is special after all, he might just pop up in two days."

Qin Yuezhi just suddenly remembered and casually asked, she didn't really mind. Before Qin Heyi disappeared for half a year,

Most importantly, the Qin family remained silent.

If something really went wrong, I'm afraid things would have been turned upside down long ago.

Shen Wanci thought the same way.

But after breaking up with Qin Yuezhi, she still called Qin Heyi. Qin Yuezhi didn't mention that she hadn't found out yet, but Qin Heyi had indeed not contacted her for a long time.

"Sorry, the number you have dialed is currently out of service."

Shen Wanci frowned, scrolled the phone book to the bottom, and dialed another number.

This was given to her by Qin Heyi before, but he didn't say what number it was. He only said that if she missed him, she could call this number and he would be found.

He always speaks in a carefree manner, it's hard to tell if he's serious or not.

When she dialed the number, Shen Wanci was still skeptical of his words until a lazy and nonchalant voice, just like him, came from the receiver. Only then did she confirm that the call had gone through and she had found him.

Qin He Yi: "Wan Ci, I miss you."

“Well then, real person, not AI synthesized,” Qin Yuezhi said, “It’s been ages since I’ve seen you. I tried calling but couldn’t get through. I was worried something happened to you.”

"Well," Qin Hesheng chuckled lightly, his voice a bit tired and weak, accompanied by two low coughs: "Things have really gone wrong."

"...What's wrong?"

Qin Heyi didn't say anything, just gave her an address and instructed: "Come alone."

He gave me an address in an old apartment building in the old town. I had to walk through a maze of alleys to find it.

At this point, the sun was still blazing in the sky, baking the ground until it was scorching hot.

This building faces east to west, and there isn't a single person downstairs.

The car wouldn't come in. Shen Wanci stood downstairs, looking up at the mottled gray walls: "I'm downstairs, seventh floor?"

"Yes, the key is under the mat at the door."

The so-called "seventh floor" is actually the top floor. A dishonest landlord built a corrugated iron roof, and it became a rental unit.

Shen Wanci climbed up the stairs, panting so hard she couldn't even straighten her waist. She paused for a moment, pulled out her key from under the dusty mat and opened the door.

The house is very small, just one hall, one room and one bathroom.

Shen Wanci poked her head in and saw Qin Heyi lying on the bed. He also happened to look at her, a mischievous smirk playing on his lips.

When Shen Wanci saw Qin Heyi at that moment, the little bit of doubt in her heart disappeared. She frowned and walked in quickly, "What's wrong with you?"

If nothing was wrong, Qin Heyi wouldn't be lying down and talking to her like this.

And the room was quite messy, with takeout boxes and empty water bottles strewn about. This was all out of character for Qin Heyi, a soldier by profession.

There was no need for him to answer, Shen Wanci had already walked to the bed. Her originally slightly furrowed brows were now knotted tightly: "How could you..."
