Shen Xi looked at the man sitting beside her. No matter what, no matter how embarrassed he was, he couldn't hide his innate elegance.
She didn't dare to speak, ask, or cry. She wanted to ask him if he wanted to die just now.
But she didn't dare to think about it. She didn't want to think about it. At that moment, he was desperate and lonely, as if he wanted to leave everything behind. It pierced her heart deeply.
Li Yuen was the first to break the silence. He looked at the girl beside him and said in a low and hoarse voice, "Come here."
Shen Xi moved closer to him. She tried to calm herself down and hold back her tears. She felt a slight chill on her face. The man's fingertips had already brushed against her face.
She opened her eyes and looked at him quietly. She stared into his eyes, but she couldn't find any madness, cruelty, or bloodlust. Only calmness and gentleness were left.
But the more it was like this, the more uncomfortable she felt. It was as if her heart was in someone's hand and was being torn apart.
Li Yuen looked at the girl's black and bright eyes. They were full of broken stars, but he didn't know what to say. How to explain everything to her just now.
How much did she see?
What did she know?
He wanted to know, but he didn't dare to ask her.
She wanted him to live, but at that moment, he selfishly chose to escape. He actually wanted to end it all.
Shen Xi didn't know what to say. She had many things to say in her heart for a long time. In the end, she only asked an insignificant question. "Brother, am I very strong?"
Li Yuan was stunned for a moment. He watched as the shattered stars in the young lady's eyes gathered together bit by bit, turning into sparkling tears that rolled down her cheeks. He hurriedly wiped away her tears and comforted her gently, "It's alright, it's just a fire."
Shen Xi threw herself into his arms and hugged him tightly. Burying her head in his chest, she sobbed softly and sadly.
She knew that she didn't do well enough. She wasn't good enough for him to miss her. She wasn't good enough for him to give up that terrible idea for her.
Li Yuen knew that she was frightened. Her arms stiffened for a moment, then she gently hugged her and coaxed: "It's okay, don't be afraid."
The door was pushed open. Kunlun came in late with two sticks of candied haws in his hand. When he saw the scene in front of him, he was scared out of his wits. Without thinking or asking, he rushed directly to the kitchen.
The kitchen was very big and had two big windows. The ventilation was very good. Even if there was a fire, it would not explode in a short time.
Kunlun took the fire extinguisher and put out the fire quickly. Looking at the messy kitchen, there was an indescribable fear.
His boss had asked him to buy candied haws for Miss Shen. He had only been gone for about ten minutes. How could something like this happen?
The bloodstains on the floor were very clear. The bright red color on the sharp porcelain pieces made him tremble in fear. The wheelchair had been burned, and there were traces of crawling on the floor. It was not hard to imagine what had just happened.
After he put out the fire and went out, he saw that Shen Xi was already squatting next to Li Yuen with a medical kit. She was treating his wounds.
Li Yuen's injuries were caused when he escaped from the kitchen. He had crawled all the way to the kitchen door and had been cut and stabbed by broken porcelain pieces.
They were not serious injuries. He had dodged in time and had not been burned by the fire. Shen Xi carefully examined his wounds and heaved a sigh of relief.
Li Yuen watched as the young girl treated his wounds seriously. She was disinfecting his wounds and applying medicine while crying silently. His heart ached for her. He could only coax her gently: "Good girl, don't cry."
Shen Xi did not want to cry. She did not want to embarrass herself in front of him. However, her tears were not obedient. They could not be stopped and flowed down her face.
She clearly knew that what she was worried about was not the fire. She was not worried that he would get hurt. As long as he did not want to, no one or anything could take his life.
However, what she was most afraid of was that he would give up on her and himself.
The scene just now was like a nightmare. It replayed in her mind over and over again. He had rushed into the fire recklessly.
Kunlun was standing guard at the side. When he saw Shen Xi put away the medical kit, he walked over and said respectfully, "Boss, let's go back to the mansion today!"
The fire had been put out, but there was a burning smell everywhere. They had to renovate the place and disperse the smell before moving in.
Shen Xi paused in her packing. She looked up at the man and muttered softly, "I haven't done acupuncture yet!"
Kunlun wanted to say that they should go back to the mansion to do acupuncture, but then he remembered that Shen Xi had to go home. In the end, he remained silent and waited for Li Yuen's instructions.
"No," Li Yuen said. He looked at the girl and asked, "Can we go to the study?"
Shen Xi nodded.
Kunlun quickly took out the spare wheelchair.
Shen Xi pushed him silently. As soon as they reached the door of the living room, they heard a meow from the wall. Before they could say anything, Milk Candy had jumped down from the cat tree that was custom-made for her.
Toffeecito was quick and had already run over. Unable to read anyone's expression, it jumped directly onto Li Yuan's lap, its exclusive VIP seat.
Shen Xi quickly picked her up. "Don't make trouble."
Li Yuen turned his head and smiled. "It's okay. Give her to me!"
"No." Shen Xi was very insistent. She said seriously, "You are injured. Don't let her jump and make trouble for the next few days."
Li Yuen laughed in a low voice. He turned his head and looked at the girl. He nodded and was very obedient. "Okay."
Shen Xi then gave Milk Candy to Kunlun. Otherwise, if she let go, she would definitely jump. Her brother's lap was her exclusive seat.
Milk Candy did not know what had happened. She did not like Kunlun. She struggled in his arms and cried for help from Li Yuen.
Li Yuen could not stand it anymore. Her heart softened. She asked the girl, "My leg is not injured. Can you give it to me?"
Shen Xi firmly refused. "No!"
Li Yuen listened to her pretentious screams and continued to plead for mercy. "I will be careful. I won't let her run around and make trouble with me. She will not touch the wound."
Shen Xi said, "No, no, no means no!"
Li Yuen glanced at Milk Candy and shook her head helplessly.
Kunlun saw the scene in front of him. Milk Candy's mother was playing the bad cop, while Milk Candy's father was playing the good cop. But in the end, Milk Candy's father was the one who compromised. The atmosphere was a lot more relaxed. Even his tense nerves also relaxed.
Milk Candy did not know what was going on. After being pulled away by Shen Xi countless times and being glared at countless times, she finally felt wronged and stopped jumping on Li Yuen's lap. She just squatted next to her and was very obedient.
Li Yuen looked at the two little cuties squatting in front of her. She could not help but smile happily. Her eyes were full of love.
