After rebirth, my wealthy ex-husband pushed me against the wall and kissed me

Shen Tingnuo secretly cried out inwardly that something was wrong and consciously stepped aside to make way, praying that he would not be harassed by these drunkards.

She had encountered drunkards several times before, and each time it took her a lot of effort to escape safely.

Several drunks supported each other and staggered along. Whether intentionally or unintentionally, one of them actually fell towards Shen Tingnuo who was huddled in the corner at a distance of five or six steps.

Shen Tingnuo quickly took a step back, and the drunkard seemed to have a locator installed on her, and continued to fall as she retreated.

It was obviously intentional, and the other drunks kept cheering and shouting "Oh oh".

Shen Tingnuo was scared and angry. When she was about to return to the snack bar, a tall figure suddenly stood in front of her. With his agile figure, he knocked the drunkard to the ground, and he rolled around in a mess.

"You can either get out or get beaten. Choose one."

Gu Si also pressed his knuckles "cracklingly", full of anger.

This time, the drunkards stopped shaking and quickly helped the man on the ground up and walked away quickly.

Looking at the tall and secure back of the man, Shen Tingnuo was surprised: "You helped me again!"

Gu Si also glanced at her with a complicated expression, "You are the spokesperson for trouble."

Shen Tingnuo smiled embarrassedly, "Sorry, I'm causing you trouble again."

"You know you're causing me trouble, why don't you just go home?" Gu Si said coldly.

"Oh, oh, then, then I'm leaving. Goodbye." For fear of upsetting him, Shen Tingnuo hurriedly got up and left.

In the night, the streets are cold and the wind is biting.

After walking for a while, Shen Tingnuo felt someone following him, so he turned around.

The person following behind was none other than Gu Siye.

She was curious: "Are you going the same way as me?"

"Different." Gu Siye had a half-burned cigarette in his mouth with a lazy expression. The smoke floating upwards cast a layer of mystery on his handsome features.

"We are taking different roads. Why are you following me?" Shen Tingnuo asked without thinking.

"What's it got to do with you? Just go your way and go back home." Gu Si suddenly became impatient.

Shen Tingnuo shrank back when he thought of how fiercely he beat Ma San, and blinked his eyes innocently and timidly.

"What are you looking at? Go home quickly." Gu Si also spoke in a rough voice, as if he was trying to scare a child.

Shen Tingnuo quickly retracted her gaze, not daring to look at him again, and continued walking forward with her head down. This time, her pace was much faster.

No matter how fast she walked, the person behind her would still follow her at a steady pace, keeping a distance of three steps. As long as she lowered her head, she could see his elongated shadow on the ground.

The journey back to the rented house was the smoothest one Shen Tingnuo had had since he came to the West District.

Sometimes she would meet drunkards, people who verbally harassed her, or people who deliberately blocked her way, but this time she was able to return to the downstairs of her rental apartment smoothly.

The drunkard Gu Si also helped her drive him away.

The one who was verbally harassing her was about to speak, but Gu Si behind her coughed and then there was no more movement.

Those who deliberately blocked her way saw that Gu Siye was following her, so they did not dare to bully her.

Shen Tingnuo realized belatedly why Gu Si followed her.

He was taking her home.

He was protecting her.

She pursed her lips, trying to express her gratitude to him, but he ignored her, turned his head away, and walked into the night, very aloof.

Since that night, Shen Tingnuo saw Gu Siye more and more often.

Sometimes he would sit at the door of the snack bar, sometimes he would appear at the supermarket opposite, but without exception, every night, no matter how late it was, he would follow her and take her home in his own way.

There were several times when Shen Tingnuo wanted to talk to him in person, saying there was no need to go through so much trouble. However, every time he thought she was noisy and put on his headphones after just a few words, so she could only shut up.

Thanks to Gu Siye's help, Shen Tingnuo's first winter in the West District was not that difficult. The two large windows in the small kitchen had an extra layer of windshield, a small sun appeared in the corner where she washed dishes every day, and there was an extra bowl of bone soup and a chicken leg in every night's dinner. Many, many small things that could be seen by the naked eye accumulated.

Shen Tingnuo always remembered Gu Siye's kindness. He tried to save more money every month and then treated him to abalone rice as a reward.

However, until the second winter after Shen Tingnuo came to the West District, she was unable to treat Gu Siye to an abalone meal, because Gu Siye would always get one step ahead of her when paying the bill every time. She knew that he knew she was poor and did not want her to spend the money.

In this way, she was allowed to eat abalone rice for almost a year in vain. She was flustered, ashamed and guilty after eating it, but the abalone rice was really delicious!

It was almost the end of the year, and half of the outsiders who were temporarily living in the West District had left. Shen Tingnuo took the last salary before the New Year and today's dinner, said goodbye to Uncle Yu, and slowly walked towards the rental house.

Gu Siye has not been following behind him recently, and Shen Tingnuo has not seen Gu Siye in person for some time. According to Uncle Yu, the New Year is coming soon, and Gu Siye wants to earn more money to celebrate the New Year.

She suspected that Gu Si was also made poor by her eating abalone rice, so he had not appeared in front of her recently.

Feeling a little guilty, Shen Tingnuo exhaled a breath of cold air, walked through the cold street, and stepped into the dimly lit and damp alley.

She felt a little uncomfortable without the sound of footsteps following her ears.

Be careful when stepping over the wet puddles on the ground, and occasionally watch out for water droplets dripping from the crisscrossing electrical wires overhead.

While Shen Tingnuo was concentrating on walking, a pair of rough and dirty hands stretched out from the darkness and covered her mouth.

"Well!"

Shen Tingnuo's pupils trembled, a sour smell entered her nostrils, and she struggled instinctively.

"Damn it, I've been keeping an eye on you for almost half a month, and finally you're alone!"

There was an excited man's voice in his ears. Relying on the disparity in strength between men and women, he dragged Shen Tingnuo to a deeper and darker alley.

Shen Tingnuo was extremely panicked. Apart from being bullied when she first arrived in the West District, this was the second time she had encountered such a situation. She pressed her legs hard against the ground, unwilling to go with the man. Her hands frantically grabbed the man's face, and her fingers specifically dug into his eyes. The packed food fell all over the floor.

Messy and dirty.

"Ah, bitch, dig my eyes!" The man screamed, pushed Shen Tingnuo away, and punched him with his eyes closed.

Unable to dodge in time, Shen Tingnuo was hit hard by the punch. He immediately felt dizzy and his forehead hit the moldy wall. He seemed to have lost his strength and slid to the ground.

She wanted to fight back against the punch, she wanted to run away, but the pain from the punch on the corner of her eye was so severe that she even had difficulty opening her eyes.

It's really unlucky. Such bad people are very common in the West District, but in order to save rent, I still have to rent a house deep in the alley. The deeper the alley, the cheaper the rent, so there are all kinds of people in this area.

"Bitch, you asked for this!"

The man cursed and rubbed his aching eyes to make sure he was not blind.

He walked towards Shen Tingnuo viciously, reached out and pulled off the camel cashmere scarf around her neck. When he was about to take off her gray coat, a shadow suddenly fell on his head.

The man looked up, but before he could see who was coming, a foot kicked him hard in the face.

"Ouch!" The man covered his face in pain and lay on the ground howling.

Gu Si also glanced worriedly at Shen Tingnuo who had fallen into a coma. When he looked at the man again, the worry in his eyes instantly turned into murderous intent, and he raised his foot and walked towards the man.

Deep in the alley, screams were heard one after another, but they did not cause any ripples.

After a while, Gu Si also left the alley with a cold look on his face. In his arms, he held Shen Tingnuo steadily with his eyes closed.

Arriving at a nearby 24-hour convenience store, Gu Si found a seat in the corner and sat down, holding Shen Tingnuo in his arms like a child.

His deep gaze swept across the dark circles at the corners of her eyes, and Gu Si frowned.

"Troublemaker."

His emotions moved slightly as he uttered these three words. His slender fingertips, which had some small wounds on them, carefully hooked away the strands of hair on her face, and his fingertips gently stroked her slightly red forehead as if with heartache.

He was too gentle with the scum just now. He should have broken his other hand as well!

Ten minutes later, Shen Tingnuo slowly opened her eyes and happened to meet the heartache in the man's eyes. However, she blinked slightly, and when she looked again, the man's eyes were clear, and the heartache just now seemed to be her illusion.

"Awake." Gu Si's chest also shook slightly.

Smelling the slightly strong mixed smell of cigarettes on him, Shen Tingnuo frowned unhappily and said "hmm" very lightly.

"I'm sorry to trouble you again."

Gu Si also sneered: "It's good to know."

Not missing a moment of her disgust, he raised his hand and pinched her cheek.

"I really want to take a mirror and show you how sloppy you are now. You still have the nerve to complain that I stink."

He came straight to her right after coming out of the underground boxing ring without even having time to take a shower, but she ended up disliking him.

Sometimes Shen Tingnuo felt that Gu Si was also a worm in her stomach, and he would notice any slight dislike she showed towards him.

She had a guilty conscience, but not much.

She was ashamed, but not much.

Maybe she was relying on the fact that Gu Si treated her well and she had nothing to fear.

"It hurts." She lowered her eyes and decided to play dead to get away with it.

"I didn't use any strength." Gu Si also let go of her cheek and found that it was a little red.

"That hurts too." Shen Tingnuo snorted.

"So delicate." Gu Si also rubbed her.

"It hurts to be delicate." Shen Tingnuo climbed up the pole.

Seeing her acting so shameless despite being so sick, Gu Si was both angry and amused, "Shen Tingnuo, I owed you in my last life."

Shen Tingnuo closed his eyes to show that he didn't want to listen, and leaned on his shoulder. His head began to feel dizzy again, and he could faintly hear the man's low complaints in his ears.

"I told you to move out earlier and not live too close to the house. You insisted on saving the two hundred dollars. Now you're suffering. If I hadn't come to see you tonight, what would you have done..."

Shen Tingnuo listened silently to the man's helpless words, her eyes felt hot and wet, she felt very tired and wanted to cry.

Two hundred yuan was her food expenses for half a month. She didn't dare to say it, for fear that Gu Si would laugh at her or feel sorry for her.

After resting for an hour, Shen Tingnuo felt less dizzy and drowsy. He was so tired that he didn't want to do anything.

The man’s embrace was much warmer than the quilt she covered herself with every night. She sincerely hoped that the manufacturer of winter quilts could produce a Gu Siye brand quilt.

"Shen Tingnuo, don't fall asleep. Get up when you don't feel dizzy. My legs are numb." Gu Si leaned lazily against the back of the chair, ignoring the ambiguous looks that the cashier girl frequently cast in their direction.

I guess others misunderstood them as a young couple.

Thinking of this, Gu Si inexplicably felt a little hot on the back of his neck, and his hands around Shen Tingnuo's waist felt a little unnatural.

Shen Tingnuo didn't even bother to lift his eyelids, he just replied secretly in his heart, what does his numb legs have to do with her sleeping, she didn't sleep on his legs.

Suddenly, she noticed something strange. The chair under her butt was not right.

Realizing that she was sitting on the man's lap at this moment, Shen Tingnuo seemed to have pressed the emergency jump button. She jumped up suddenly, her cheeks flushed, and her eyes glanced around, but she didn't dare to look directly at the man.

"hiss--"

Her movements were too big, and coupled with her sudden jump, Gu Si was accidentally injured. His originally straight back hunched, and his laziness disappeared, and a rare look of pain appeared on his handsome face.

Hearing the man's unusual gasp, Shen Tingnuo asked helplessly, "What's wrong with you? Did I bump into you?"

Gu Si's face was also pale, his lips were red, and the corners of his eyes were slightly wet. He looked like he was in real pain.

Shen Tingnuo had never seen him like this before, so he hurried forward and asked nervously, "Did I bump into your stomach?"

Seeing his slumped shoulders and slightly bent waist, she thought she had accidentally hit him in the stomach.

Gu Si did not say anything, but just stared at her grimly. There was resentment in his eyes, but more of it was the unspeakable... shame and anger.

"How about I rub it for you!" Seeing that he was in so much pain that he couldn't speak, Shen Tingnuo felt ashamed.

He saved her, but she hurt him. It was really wrong.

When Shen Tingnuo was about to reach out her hand, Gu Si grabbed her wrist and threw her away, his ears flushing red.

"Go away."

His voice was not loud, just an audible whisper, and it didn't have any intimidating effect at all.

After saying this, he turned his back like a grumpy child, and relieved the pain of being a man alone.

Seeing his ungrateful and heartless back, Shen Tingnuo bit her lower lip and wanted to apologize to him, but was afraid of being told to "get out" again.

After thinking for a while, Shen Tingnuo turned and walked towards the convenience store cashier, and decided to buy two hot eggs to apply to his stomach to relieve the pain. She also needed the hot eggs to apply to the wound at the corner of her eye.

"Please give me two tea eggs."

Seeing that there were no boiled eggs, Shen Tingnuo asked for two tea eggs. They were both eggs anyway, and the hot compress effect should be the same.

The cashier girl only noticed the bruise on Shen Tingnuo's eye at this time. She was startled and deliberately glanced at Gu Siye's position to make sure his attention was not here. She whispered, "Do you need me to call the police for you?"

Shen Tingnuo saw all the actions of the cashier girl. She waved her hands repeatedly and clarified for Gu Si: "No, no, the wound on my face was not caused by him. He was the one who saved me!"

"Okay, sometimes your boyfriend's character is more important than his appearance."

The cashier girl obviously didn't believe her and thought Shen Tingnuo was in love. After being beaten, she just coaxed him with a few words and then continued to follow the violent man foolishly.
