Chapter 445 - 445: Something’s Wrong
Zheng Huai immediately pulled Shen Xi back and said with a face full of pity and sorrow, “Xi, if you’re sad, just cry. After you cry, I will make you forget those bad memories.”
Shen Xi was confused and asked, “What bad memories?
Zheng Huai thought Shen Xi did not want him to be sad, so he forcefully suppressed his emotions in front of her. “Xi, I know you don’t want me to be sad and don’t want the people around you to be sad. But some emotions can get you sick if you keep them in your heart.”
Shen Xi felt that Zheng Huai’s words sounded strange. His expression and tone made it seem like she was in unbearable pain.
An absurd thought flashed across Shen Xi’s mind. He turned around and grabbed Zheng Huai’s shoulders, asking seriously, “Bro, are you thinking those people have bullied me?”
Zheng Huai’s eyes were filled with doubt as he muttered, “Isn’t that so?
Shen Xi almost burst into tears from laughing. “No, can you ask me about the situation before making a judgment? I’m fine. Nothing happened. What are you thinking?”
Zheng Huai carefully observed the expression on Shen Xi’s face that made him feel helpless. According to Shen Xi’s current facial features and body movements, Zheng Huai felt that Shen Xi did not seem to be lying.
Therefore, there were only two possibilities. One was that Shen Xi was not raped, and the other was after Shen Xi was raped. However, the painful experience triggered her protective system, making her automatically forget it.
It must be the second one. Zheng Huai’s eyes welled up with tears again. How painful must this experience be for her to forget it subconsciously?
Shen Xi looked at Zheng Huai, whose eyes were red, and her eyes widened instantly. She recalled what she had just said. Could it be that she had said something she shouldn’t have?
Zheng Huai wiped the tears and said, “Okay, nothing happened.”
Shen Xi watched as Zheng Huai cried as he got up and left the room. She frowned and still had a puzzled look on her face.
She looked at herself and noticed she was still wearing Guan Lei’s clothes. She quickly found a new set of clothes in her suitcase and went to the bathroom to change.
After closing the door, Zheng Huai saw Guan Lei not far away. He approached Guan Lei and said with difficulty, “Xi might have suffered from traumatic amnesia. She doesn’t remember that memory.”
Guan Lei listened to Zheng Huai’s words silently. Then, he punched the wall hard. Instantly, the joints of his five fingers were dyed with blood.
Zheng Huai looked at Guan Lei, who looked dangerous and violent. Anxiety rose in him.
Guan Lei calmed himself down and retracted his fierce eyes. Then, he turned around and returned to Shen Xi’s room.
When Shen Xi saw Guan Lei, she wanted to ask him why he had knocked her out, but she instantly panicked when she saw the wound on Guan Lei’s hand. She quickly pulled Guan Lei’s hand and asked, “How did you get hurt? Did you hurt yourself when you saved me?”
Guan Lei’s heart ached uncontrollably when he heard Shen Xi mention what had just happened. Then, he said, “I’m fine. It’s just a small wound.”
“How can this be a small wound?” Shen Xi glared at Guan Lei. “I’ll apply the medicine for you.”
Shen Xi quickly took out the first aid kit from her suitcase. That was the first aid kit that Guan Lei had prepared for her two days ago. She did not expect Guan Lei to use it first.
Guan Lei looked at Shen Xi, who was seriously applying the medicine to him. Her drooping long eyelashes fluttered occasionally, like a butterfly resting on a flower about to take off at any time. She was so mesmerizingly beautiful.
However, he had caused this beautiful girl to suffer such pain. Guan Lei wished he could slap himself again.
Shen Xi noticed Guan Lei’s trembling body and asked worriedly, “Does it hurt?”
Guan Lei held back his emotions and shook his head. However, Shen Xi noticed his red eyes that he couldn’t retract in time. Shen Xi felt that Guan Lei was acting weird. “What’s wrong with you? I think there’s something wrong with you.”
Guan Lei didn’t answer. He hugged Shen Xi in his arms and asked seriously and sincerely, “Xi, can we date now? Let’s get engaged, okay? I can’t wait that long. I’m afraid of losing you. I want to be with you now.”
Guan Lei cried again. Shen Xi remembered that Guan Lei seemed to have just cried in that room. Shen Xi asked tentatively, “Guan Lei, did you misunderstand something? Those people didn’t touch me just now. Nothing happened.”
Other than Guan Lei and the others mistakenly thinking that she was being bullied, Shen Xi could not think of any other reason that could make Guan Lei lose his composure..
