Chapter 1034: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon-By Your Side (119)
It was very quiet in the car. The man in the black suit turned the car around and drove towards the city without saying a word or asking any questions.
It was so quiet that it was as if Zuo Yue and Xu Chengfeng were the only two people left in the world. She quietly leaned in his arms and did not faint, but she was really tired and did not have any strength. Her body was hurting everywhere, but it was so painful that she could almost not feel the pain anymore.
She didn’t even have the strength to open her eyes, nor did she have the strength to speak. She just leaned quietly in his arms and breathed in his scent to make sure that she was really out of danger.
From the moment she woke up after being kidnapped until now, there was no time until tomorrow afternoon like what Senro had said.
Xu Chengfeng had brought her back to his side in less than two hours. Even though she was covered in injuries now, at least the time of fear and torture had been reduced by so much. Now, she could only feel gratitude.
She was grateful for her uncle’s all-out effort. She was even more grateful that he was not injured when he came to save her. He did not suffer any harm because of her.
Thank him for his agility, thank him for his strength…
Zuo Yue was too quiet, so quiet that it was unlike her.
Xu Chengfeng lowered his gaze and looked at the girl in his arms, whose face was covered in wounds. She was so fragile that it seemed like she would break at the slightest touch. He raised his hand and caressed her messy hair. He placed a gentle and comforting kiss on her lips.
However, just as he kissed her, Zuo Yue suddenly turned her head away as if she had been electrocuted. She avoided his kiss and buried her face in his chest at the same time.
Xu Chengfeng paused and realized that she was avoiding his intimacy. The hand on her back suddenly changed to embrace her. For a moment, he had an inexplicable feeling that this girl seemed to want to leave his world. When he hugged her, he increased his strength and firmly imprisoned her in his arms.
“Don’t think too much about it. After you go to the hospital for a checkup, rest in peace. I’ll always be by your side, okay?”
Zuo Yue did not answer. She was so quiet that it seemed as if she had fallen asleep.
However, Xu Chengfeng could feel the wetness on his chest. She was crying, crying quietly. There was no sound at all, not even a sob. However, she buried her face in his arms and ignored the wetness on his shirt.
” From tomorrow onwards, I will secretly plant some people around you. Previously, I only treated you as an ordinary student. Others would not take advantage of the situation to attack you. Now, it seems that everything is my fault. I failed to protect you well, causing you to be frightened and hurt because of me. Zuo Yue, if you have anything to say, just say it to me. Don’t let your imagination run wild. If you have resentment, you can hit or scold me. Don’t hold it in by yourself.”
As Xu Chengfeng spoke, he gently caressed her back as if to comfort, apologize, and coax her.
Zuo Yue did not move, but the wetness on his shirt increased. Xu Chengfeng held her face and forcefully pushed her away from his arms. He looked down at her eyes that were blurred by tears and saw all the grievances, fear, and forbearance in her eyes. His heart ached as if it had been pierced by thousands of arrows.
Xu Chengfeng raised his hand to wipe away her tears. Zuo Yue sniffed gently and turned her face away. She said in a low voice,””I’m fine.”
“I hope you’re really fine and not being sarcastic.”Xu Chengfeng took out a piece of tissue from the driver’s bag and wiped her tears away. Then, he wiped away the dried blood at the corner of her mouth and gently stroked her head as if he was treating a beloved child.”It won’t happen again, I promise.”
Zuo Yue shook her head lightly but did not speak.
She wasn’t afraid.
She leaned into his chest again, her eyes closed and she did not move. She did not say anything either. Xu Chengfeng looked down at her, who was so injured but did not cry or make a fuss. She was even so obedient.
It was the first time he realized that he could not understand Zuo Yue.
This girl had always been pure and straightforward. She had never hidden a thousand words in her heart without expressing a single word.
Xu Chengfeng hugged her and kissed her gently on the hairline. Zuo Yue turned her head slightly away when she was kissed, as if she was resisting all his overly intimate actions, even if it was just comforting.
Xu Chengfeng looked at her and saw that her emotions were still a little unstable. He did not force her to do anything and only patted her gently.”Don’t think too much, okay?”
Zuo Yue still did not respond. She only leaned into his arms as if she was seeking warmth. However, when Xu Chengfeng was about to hold her hand, she pulled her hand away from his palm.
“..”Xu Chengfeng looked at her resistance speechlessly and frowned secretly.
*****
In the hospital, Xu Chengfeng finally knew how many injuries Zuo Yue had suffered after the doctor’s examination.
The superficial injuries were only considered minor. She had been kicked a few times in her abdomen and waist, causing her abdomen and waist to be affected greatly. She could not do any strenuous exercise for a short period of time. Although she could go home to recuperate after a few days of treatment in the hospital, there were many things to pay attention to.
This time, Zuo Yue would probably be hospitalized in the hospital for three days.
She realized that she might have provoked some kind of jinx recently. She had a special affinity with the hospital recently.
It had only been a few months, but he felt that he had almost used up all the chances of being hospitalized in his lifetime.
Lying on the hospital bed, there were devices fixed to her neck and waist to treat her. Although there was a lot of blood coming out from the place where the metal frame pierced her back, it was not very deep. She was fine after a few stitches.
She had a slight concussion, so she had a headache now. She had been lying in bed with her eyes closed.
However, the terrifying scene in the dark warehouse kept flashing in front of her. Every time she closed her eyes for more than half an hour, she could not take it anymore and suddenly opened her eyes. She could not sleep. The moment she opened her eyes, she could see Xu Chengfeng in her ward.
When she opened her eyes half an hour ago, he was pouring water. Seeing that she was not asleep, he came over to feed her some warm water.
When he opened his eyes this time, he was standing in front of the window, looking at a certain point in the distance. No one knew what he was looking at or thinking about.
After Zuo Yue glanced at him, she retracted her gaze and did not say anything to disturb him. When Xu Chengfeng felt her gaze and turned his eyes, she closed her eyes again as if nothing had happened. She quietly closed her eyes and pretended to be asleep.
Xu Chengfeng looked at Zuo Yue who was obviously pretending to be asleep and quiet, and a strange emotion flashed across his heart.
He even kept getting agitated because of what she had said earlier.
“I don’t want to be your weakness. Uncle, I’m sorry…In the future… I won’t pester you anymore…”
Xu Chengfeng’s brows were slightly furrowed. He had one hand in his pocket and stood still in front of the window. After a moment of silence, the moment Zuo Yue opened her eyes again, he turned around and walked towards her bed.
