She was a little embarrassed, even a little awkward, and her wiping movements were visibly sloppy, as if someone was chasing her.

Zhou Shi silently curled his lips.

After wiping his body, she helped him put on his clothes.

This time the wound is very deep. Any large-scale pulling will cause the wound to rupture and cause heavy bleeding. The doctor does not recommend moving the patient home to recuperate.

Zhou Shi stayed in the hospital for half a month.

Xu Kexin has also taken care of him for so long.

He lived in a private ward, and Xu Kexin slept on the sofa in the ward at night.

The sofa was wide and had more than enough space for her to sleep on.

By the time Zhou Shi was discharged from the hospital, he was completely well again, looking refreshed and there was no sign of illness at all.

Xu Kexin packed his things, feeling a little lonely.

This meant that their brief encounter would end again. But she couldn't think that way, because she hoped more than anyone else that he would be in good health.

It’s just a farewell this time, and I don’t know when we will meet again.

Zhou Shi put on his shoes and walked to her side.

Zhou Shi said: "I'm leaving now. Thank you for your time."

Xu Kexin quickly raised his head.

The emotions that she had no time to control collided with his eyes as deep as a dark pool.

Xu Kexin quickly lowered her eyes and used her scattered hair to hide her expression.

She said, "It's alright, Master Jiu. You gave me a new life and you've done me a great favor. These little things are not worth mentioning, you don't have to keep them in mind."

Zhou Shi hummed.

"You..." His voice stopped abruptly and he hesitated again.

He hesitated.

Xu Kexin asked: "What's wrong?"

"Forget it, it's okay."

An ambiguous emotion flashed across Zhou Shi's eyes, so fast that Xu Kexin didn't catch it and thought he was dazzled.

The next second, there was some weight on my head.

Xu Kexin subconsciously held her breath, her pupils dilated, and she looked up at the man in surprise.

The man in front of me had the same aloof and cold look as usual. Nothing could shake him, and there was an invisible distance between them.

He is so handsome, with three-dimensional features. Even without any expression, he is intriguing. His every move exudes maturity and stability.

Zhou Shi put his hand on her head and patted her head a little stiffly, "Study hard and protect yourself."

Xu Kexin nodded.

Zhou Shi withdrew his hand.

He is ready to leave.

As soon as I took a step, my hand was grabbed.

This was the most intimate contact they had had in nearly half a month, except for wiping bodies.

Xu Kexin grabbed his hand and asked him, "Master Jiu, will we have a chance to meet again?"

Without waiting for Zhou Shi to answer, she continued, "Should be possible, right? Jiu Ye will always return to South City. Even if South City is big, as long as you are determined, you will always meet him, right?"

Zhou Shi wanted to say that he might not return to South City.

He was displaced and went wherever he went. It was unknown whether he would be able to come back alive.

Only this time, Xu Kexin didn't seem to need his answer.

She still couldn't help but express her sincere feelings, but she would no longer cry and pester him to stay by his side like she did before.

She knew that he had big ambitions and high aspirations, but there was ultimately a tall, thick wall between her and his world.

She let go of his hand and said seriously, "Goodbye, Master Jiu."

Zhou Shi looked at her quietly for a while and then left the ward.

On the way to the airport, Zhou Shi was looking out the window in a daze.

Zhong Yue kept looking back, and seeing Zhou Shi was in a trance, he couldn't help but say, "Master Jiu, it seems that you don't have no feelings for Miss Xu."

Zhou Shi said: "She has a sincere heart, while my heart is dirty and not as open as hers."

She went to Wancheng regardless of the danger, and followed him even though she had no name or status. Her pure and sincere heart was laid out in front of him, and it would be a lie if she didn't feel moved.

After meeting again after more than a year, her heart was still the same as before.

Zhou Shi saw it clearly.

This little touch was not enough to make him impulsive.

I can’t say I like her, but there’s no need to ruin a girl’s happiness for the rest of her life for my own selfish reasons.

He is a man without a future.

I had some headaches during the week.

He rubbed his temple and changed the subject: "Is Shen Yuqing still in Shanghai?"

"do not know."

Zhong Yue said, "I sent a telegram this morning, but there has been no reply yet. But the young marshal said two days ago that he was going to meet those people, so he shouldn't leave so soon."

The situation is turbulent, and there are always people who want to take advantage of the unrest to stir up trouble.

Shen Yuqing spent a lot of time and effort planning this route. He was observing the situation the entire time, and no movement escaped his eyes.

"Send someone to leave a letter at the Nancheng Republic Daily."

Zhou Shi said, "Let's go to Shanghai first."

After the war started, their whereabouts were unknown, so they had to pass on information through the Nancheng Republic Daily.

The newspaper that published the Nancheng Minguo Daily was Song Huiyi's business. Before she went to Hong Kong, she privately told Xiao Dong to do this.

Xiao Dong is tight-lipped, so Song Huiyi trusts her.

They had a secret code that only the other party knew, and Xiao Dong was involved in it, but he didn't know the meaning.

Zhou Shi went to Shanghai for his own purpose.

Some people in Shanghai colluded with the Japanese, attempting to take advantage of the warlords' infighting when everyone was in danger and had no time to spare, to stir up the situation and seize the territory in the south.

The Japanese were very rampant and directly shouted the slogan "If you want to conquer the world, you must conquer China."

Many people are unaware of the external and internal troubles we are facing today.

They were still dreaming that the Japanese would lend them a hand.

Stupid and naive!

When Zhou Shi's plane landed in Shanghai, Shen Yuqing drove to pick him up.

"I received your telegram and calculated that you would come to Shanghai!"

Shen Yuqing knew that he was injured, so he punched the wound that had just healed and teased him, "You are so lucky that you didn't die even though the bullet hit your heart!"

He sighed, "When my old lover comes, the disease will be cured!"

Zhou Shi pushed his fist away.

He glanced at Zhong Yue next to him, and Zhong Yue shook his head.

He didn't reveal this.

Zhou Shi said coldly: "It's hard for you to stare at my ward when the situation was chaotic. You have eyes all over your body."

"It's never wrong to keep an eye on all directions!" Shen Yuqing said confidently.

Then he asked, "She took care of you for more than half a month, lived with you, and you cheated on her again?"

"I was shot."

"What's wrong with being shot? You were injured in the upper body, not the lower body!"

Shen Yuqing didn't take it seriously and continued, "She is your old lover. She ran from South City to Wan City for you before, and now she is taking care of you. Don't you, an old man, have any thoughts?"

Zhou Shi glanced at him and said, "You are just bored. How many years has it been?"

Shen Yuqing looked at him strangely: "Didn't you send her to school? You even asked someone to take care of her after they separated. Don't you have any feelings for her?"

Zhou Shi: “…”

The mask on his face seemed to be peeled off, and his indifferent expression finally cracked.

"...How much have you found out about me?" Zhou Shi almost gritted his teeth.

Shen Yuqing laughed.

He was just having some fun.
