So he went to the gate of Ring and gazed into the distance, hoping for the appearance of the black-haired girl.
Hopefully, she has escaped her previous terrible state.
Miss Lixi did indeed appear in the rain.
But her body was swaying precariously, and not a single part of her body was dry from the rain.
His selfishness ultimately brought about disastrous consequences.
He rushed into the rain, sharing the cold with the girl.
Just as she was about to fall, Chen caught her.
Her face was so pale, her body so cold.
On the contrary, her forehead was burning hot.
Chapter 97 Rain
大雨滂沱
Chen, who caught the girl as she was about to fall, felt the coldness emanating from her body.
Yes, his selfish behavior ultimately brought about disastrous consequences.
He carried Miss Lixi's limp body on his back, and long trails of water remained in the Ring's interior with each step of the boy.
After temporarily escaping the torrential rain, Chen finally had time to put Miss Lixi down.
The boy sat down against the wall
Then, he let Miss Lixi lean against him, insulating her from the cold of the floor and walls, and providing her with negligible warmth.
He brushed aside the long hair that had gathered on the girl's forehead due to the rain.
A pale face, a burning forehead, and heavy dark circles under the eyes.
Every shameful act of the girl, like incriminating evidence, accused the boy beside her of his crimes.
After typing a message on his phone and opening the ride-hailing app, the boy heard footsteps behind him.
"Lixi..."
The girl's blue pupils narrowed slightly.
You really are ruthless to yourself.
Miss Su Shi uttered this half-sentence from the bottom of her heart.
Her advice to the bass drummer was simply to temporarily suspend the band's activities.
Miss Su Shi never expected to see Li Xi in such a disheveled and miserable state.
Her gaze shifted to the boy beside her, awaiting his reaction.
Having gone this far, will Chen still be as resolute as last time, handing Lixi over to her and leaving?
"Su Shi, I have a key to your house. I'll go to your house first."
"I've already booked a taxi, I'll be there soon."
"Could you please hold an umbrella for me and Lixi? And then take us to the taxi when it arrives?"
"Then find an excuse to send Deng back first. We'll need you to come back and take care of Lixi."
"She's soaking wet, so I can't help her change clothes or take a shower. After I get her to your house, I'll go to the pharmacy to buy some medicine."
"sorry to bother you"
Lixi, it seems you're close to success!
Miss Su Shi's gaze was fixed on the boy who had his back to her.
His tone was normal.
But his slightly trembling body, and the tightly clenched fists around the girl...
This proves his inner wavering.
Not long after, the boy's phone received a notification.
He picked up the black-haired girl who was slumped against him and quickened his pace toward the door.
After accepting the umbrella from Miss Su Shi, Chen quickly closed the car door.
The roads were unusually congested on the rainy day, with traffic crawling along at a snail's pace.
"Please hurry up!"
The boy knew that no amount of urging would separate the congested traffic.
But he still uttered that nonsense.
The girl's head rested on Chen's lap.
The burning heat on her forehead seared the boy's senses like molten lava.
He almost dared not place his hand on her forehead again, on top of his sins.
He closed his eyes, unable to bear looking at the girl's disheveled appearance.
"Hello, guest, we have arrived at our destination..."
He opened the car door and pulled the girl into his arms.
After sprinting through those short ten meters, we finally reached our destination, a place that could shelter us from the wind and rain.
He pressed the elevator button, cursing the floor numbers that seemed to change incredibly slowly to him.
He gripped the key to Miss Su Shi's house tightly in his hand and slowly tightened his grip.
Until he stood in front of the door, took the key from his palm, and opened it.
He then noticed that blood was seeping from his palms.
After placing Miss Lixi on the sofa, the rest was beyond his control.
"Su Shi, how much longer until you arrive?"
The message sent to the flaxen-haired girl in the chat box has yet to be marked as read.
In the entryway, circular water stains were left behind as he paced anxiously.
As soon as the key clicked open, he opened the door first.
Miss Su Shi, standing outside the door, nearly slipped and fell due to his clumsy movements.
He ignored the girl's resentful gaze.
"I'll go buy the medicine; I'll leave Lixi in your care."
"Umbrella! Take the umbrella!"
As if fleeing, he rushed into the elevator as the doors opened.
The girl's voice behind him was blocked by the slowly closing iron gate.
Leaning helplessly against the wall of the carriage, he tore at and clutched his equally disheveled hair.
The overwhelming sense of guilt almost prevented him from leaving the elevator car when the doors opened.
A strange figure walked down the street, and people around him avoided it like the plague.
His steps were uneven, he staggered towards his unknown destination.
The rain was clearly heavier than usual, but he wasn't wearing either a raincoat or an umbrella.
His wet hair hung down over his forehead, concealing any glimmer of light within it.
It is either empty or dead silent.
After all, his appearance was already quite disheveled.
The pharmacy clerks almost wanted to run away from this strange man when they saw his figure.
After he made his request and slapped the money on the counter, the clerk, as if granted a pardon, hurriedly searched the shelves for the medication he needed.
Until he picked up the medicine and continued walking into the rain
The shop assistant finally felt completely relieved.
Things that can't get wet: my phone and the medicine I just bought.
Tucked under the armpit where the rain couldn't get in
In the torrential rain, its power undiminished, roaring across the earth...
As if atonement, he accepted all the coldness.
The pharmacy was nearby, and he quickly returned to the building where Su Shijia lived.
The numbers on the elevator started changing again, and he found himself back in front of the familiar door.
He put down the medicine he had bought and pressed the elevator button again.
"I've already bought the medicine and left it at the door."
He nervously wiped the water off Miss Lixi's body and then dried her with a hot towel.
Su Shi put on the clothes she wasn't wearing for the time being and put them on Miss Li Xi.
She is 162 cm tall, while Miss Lixi is 156 cm tall.
The clothes on the black-haired girl were slightly oversized.
But underwear is something that's not easy to lend out.
Miss Su Shi had no choice but to let Li Xi go into battle naked for the time being.
For Lixi, staying warm and resting are what she needs most right now.
Miss Su Shi acted quickly; by the time she put Miss Li Xi back on her bed, turned on the air conditioner, and covered her with the blanket...
A message from the boy arrived on her phone.
"He's already bought the medicine and left it at the door."
Did he still choose to leave?
But with such heavy rain, and without any rain gear...
Where could he possibly run off to?
Miss Su Shi gently closed the door, grabbed her umbrella, and rushed out of the house.
After pushing open the door, the medicine was indeed placed to one side.
Despite the heavy rain, there weren't many water stains on it.
Miss Su Shi's gaze lingered for only a moment before she pressed the elevator button and waited anxiously.
Regardless of the time frame or the current weather conditions...
Chen couldn't possibly have gone very far.
She couldn't let the boy get lost in the rain; she couldn't let go of this opportunity to penetrate his heart.
The floor numbers in the elevator seemed to change more slowly than ever before in her eyes.
To her surprise, the boy's figure appeared in her sight the moment the elevator doors opened.
He didn't leave; he simply let the rain wash over his body silently.

Chapter 98 Miss Su Shi is ranking up
enough
As the pathfinder, Miss Lixi has already gathered enough information for Su Shi.
If even Miss Lixi's dire condition wasn't enough to make the young man stop in his tracks for her...
Even less than enough to shake his resolve for a moment.
Miss Su Shi felt it was better to wait and see.
