Chapter 485: V370: It’s been 8 years, tormented for so long, who would still want to see them separated?
The "punch" used to hit people on the road usually involves wearing something pointed; it pierces the skin from the outside, and when worn inside, it smashes flesh into a bloody mess.Gu Zixuan didn’t see what Liang Shiman took out from her handbag.
She just sensed instinctively that it was nothing good.
She stepped back, sharply trying to dodge.
However, Liang Shiman, accustomed to such situations since childhood, wasn’t going to let her go so easily.
She swiftly grabbed Gu Zixuan’s wrist, and her slap immediately followed.
In an instant, Yu Yuanshen and He Qimo, standing a few steps away, couldn’t react in time.
Their eyes widened, deeply aware that it was too late, and in the next moment, the urge to kill Liang Shiman almost arose.
Out of nowhere, a silhouette rushed to Gu Zixuan’s side, turned around, and enveloped Gu Zixuan in an embrace, offering their back to Liang Shiman.
The "punch" cut deeply into Feng Chengjin’s back.
The solid muscles made Liang Shiman’s hand hurt from the shock and left four bright red blood marks on Feng Chengjin’s back, who was dressed relatively thinly for the winter...
...
In the moment of stagnation,
everyone’s gazes quivered as they looked towards Gu Zixuan and Feng Chengjin.
Aside from Liang Shiman, whose long-hidden anger couldn’t find resolution, today she finally had the chance to ruin Gu Zixuan’s intentions face-to-face, but was interrupted. Liang Shiman was shocked and incredulous, and suddenly consumed by a deep, frenzied jealousy.
Even at a time like this, Gu Zixuan still had a man protecting her!
Gu Zixuan also raised her eyes, looking at the person she hadn’t seen in four days...
Her heart trembled completely.
He, in that instant, staggered slightly in his body language—not unnoticed by her. At this moment, she really wanted to see what was wrong with him...
But before she could speak, Feng Chengjin spoke first.
In truth, Feng Chengjin was in pain, but considering he couldn’t let Gu Zixuan see his wound at this moment, he had to endure it all.
Deeply gazing at Gu Zixuan, realizing that she was unharmed, at this moment, he wanted to hold her in his arms without letting go. But looking around at the present situation and thinking of the power behind Liang Shiman,
he could only seriously say, "Zixuan, go back, now."
In that instant, Gu Zixuan was puzzled.
Because through Feng Chengjin’s eyes, she could see not just his simple intent to protect her.
More than that, he even wanted to separate her from Liang Shiman, to prevent her from pursuing Liang Shiman further... He was protecting Liang Shiman too!
Thinking about the past eight years, the frequent incidents in her family in recent years, and how her father was sent to the discipline committee time and again.
Gu Zixuan stepped back, step by step, looking at Feng Chengjin in confusion.
Until the reason she had buried deeply her heart, painfully convinced herself of, sprouted like wild thorns; a more and more painful possibility crumbled in her mind, and she shook her head, not wanting to believe it.
The redness in her eyes, holding back tears, evoked a moment of pity in Yu Yuanshen and He Qimo.
How unwilling she must be to believe it, that in such emotions, her lips turned pale and she still didn’t want to ask why.
In that split second, they truly wished Gu Zixuan could ask why, so that afterwards, any one of them would be willing to answer for Feng Chengjin. Let the past be the past; life must go forward. After eight years, after so much torment, who would want to see the two of them separate?
But in the end, Gu Zixuan didn’t ask.
Not only did she not ask, but she obediently nodded as if she were entirely compliant.
Paused briefly, she turned and dashed downstairs.
The state of her departure brought a moment of tearing pain into the eyes of Yu Yuanshen and He Qimo.
And Feng Chengjin, besides the pain in his back, his lips pale, felt all the color drain away from his dark eyes...
