Chapter 69 B-3

After a long time, Sang Li finally stopped crying. Shen Jie let go of Sang Li, reached out and took a silk nightgown from the side of the bed and put it beside her, then stood up, walked to the window, and stretched out his hand to open the inner curtain. The sun shone in through the white gauze curtain, and suddenly, it hurt Sang Li's eyes. Seeing her squinting eyes, Shen Jie turned around, walked back to her and sat down, half-joking while helping the dull Sang Li put on her nightgown: "Don't be afraid, there is no taller building than Zhongyue nearby, so I just pull it away." Curtains and no one can see you."

Sang Li twitched the corner of his mouth: "Now, am I still afraid of people watching?" Shen Jie's face darkened: "Don't talk nonsense, I asked the doctor, you just have some skin trauma, it's okay, it will be fine after a while." Sang Li lowered his head and looked at Shen Jie's hand that was tying his belt: "It's disgusting, isn't it? I've never seen myself so disgusting." She looked up at Shen Jie, with gray eyes: "Everyone saw it... the police, the doctor... you saw it too... Who else, who else saw it?" Shen Jie's heart tightened, and regardless of Sang Li's injuries, he reached out and hugged her tightly, and hurriedly explained: "No one saw it, really no one. The police saw you when they were patrolling, and then put on your coat for you. When you were sent to the hospital, the doctor also had a routine checkup. After I went there, I wrapped you up in a sheet from the hospital. I wanted to help you get dressed, but you were covered in injuries, and you had just been medicated, so I just wrapped you up in the hospital quilt. You brought it here. Seriously, I swear no one saw it, it's all right, it's really all right..."

He never realized that he was also such a fearful and chattering person. Sang Li's eyes became wet again. Shen Jie put on the nightgown for Sang Li, and asked Sang Li, "Are you hungry? What do you want to eat? I'll ask the catering department to deliver it." Sang Li shook his head: "I don't want to eat anything." Shen Jie sighed: "What if you don't eat, why don't you have some porridge?" Sang Li still shook his head. Shen Jie looked at Sang Li, got up and turned up the temperature of the central air conditioner in the room, then turned around and came back, and as soon as he stretched out his hand, he hugged Sang Li.

Sang Li didn't resist, but put his arms around Shen Jie's neck instead.Shen Jie looked down at Sang Li, without saying a word, walked out of the bedroom, walked to the living room, walked to the sofa near the French window, and gently put Sang Li down. Sang Li raised his head, looked over the back of the sofa, and could see a city full of tall buildings outside the window. The noon sun shines on the top of the building, and there is still remaining snow on it, shining in the sun. And Shen Jie sat down beside her, he looked into her eyes with sincerity: "Sang Li, look out of the window, the sun rises, this day is a new one."

He rubbed her hair, full of pampering: "You are still fine, this is a blessing in misfortune, you know? You see, you still have eleven million opportunities to do whatever you want. As long as You can forget it yourself, I guarantee that no one will know what happened last night. If you want, I can also accompany you to the Public Security Bureau, the bad guys will definitely be caught, you believe me. " He looked into her eyes, and smiled self-deprecatingly in her blank eyes: "I seem to be really old now. When I received the call last night, my heart was a little overwhelmed."

He paused, as if he had finally made a decision: "Sang Li, from now on, our deal will be cancelled. I won't force you, you can be with whoever you want to be with." Sang Li's eyes were shocked, he looked at Shen Jie intently, and said after a while: "You despise me?" "How come?!" Shen Jie blurted out. Then he hastily explained: "I just don't want to wrong you anymore, Sang Li, I know you have a boyfriend, and I'm so much older than you..." He laughed at himself again: "I just realized last night that I am no different from those people. They are all forcing others to do things they don't want to do. The only difference is that they are just plundering, and I It was to give you some quid pro quo."

He took a deep breath: "It's fate to know each other, Sang Li. Since it's fate, I will definitely help you. However, I won't force you." After saying this, he stood up, turned around and walked behind the sofa, and looked out of the French window, leaving only Sang Li's back. Sang Li looked at Shen Jie's back, then lowered his head to look at his calves exposed to the air, straightened his arms, and there were traces of blood on his wrists from being pulled out by the rope. In my heart, the sour liquid gradually flooded. Xiang Ning, now, even I don't know if I love you.

If love, why didn't I think of you when I was most afraid? If you don't love, why is there still so much pain when I am about to leave you? Yes, yes, this time, I really want to leave you. I have been contradicting and struggling for so long, and at this time, I suddenly feel that I am very tired. It's a good deal, isn't it? Someone takes care of me, someone shelters me, someone bears all the wishes I want to fulfill... and all I have to pay is myself. Although I have nothing but myself, not everyone can give me so much in return after accepting me. Maybe what he loves is just my face and body, but what he got in return is not only professional help but also omnipresent care--I should have earned it.

... Sang Li was silent in the quiet air, until Shen Jie finally turned around and walked out the door, the moment he opened the door, he suddenly said: "Don't cancel, I agree." Shen Jie turned around in surprise, and looked at the still beautiful girl's face in the sun in surprise. She looked at him with firm eyes: "Don't cancel the deal, I agree, I will break up with my boyfriend and be with you. It's not coercion, it's not threat, it's my willingness." Shen Jie was stunned. Sang Li looked at him, and said earnestly but tiredly: "As long as you give me half a year, Teacher Guo will be transferred from the Art Academy after the summer vacation, and then I will break up with Xiang Ning. Anyway, Teacher Guo is very kind to me. It’s as heavy as a mountain, and I can’t make it difficult for her. As for the competition you mentioned before, I don’t think I have the ability to win the prize right now, let’s talk about it in two years.”

She sighed: "However, I still want to thank you, Shen Jie, thank you for being by my side." Shen Jie fell silent. He looked at the girl who was just in her early twenties in front of him, seeing her thin figure and the inexplicable firm strength she exuded, and didn't know what to say.And Sang Li looked out the window, looked at the remaining snow on the roofs, looked at the scattered sunlight, and thought: the sun has risen, really, it is a new day. At this moment, she suddenly felt that there is actually no big limit for her to love someone or not to love someone. The biggest boundary may only lie in whether you are by my side or you are not by my side.

Xiang Ning, you are so beautiful, if I want to go to you, the road is too far, I can't reach you. So, I let it go. Before I let you go, though, I have a gift for you. And I, there is only one thing I can give you...
