When Wu Lili was taken away by the police, she was still struggling and cursing, until she was completely quieted down by the words "We will notify your family."

After learning about the situation, the police discovered that Wu Lili was already an adult, and that the heinous crime of throwing sulfuric acid was enough to send her to prison for two years.

"You can't lock me up! Isn't he still standing there? Say something!"

Maybe it can be mediated, but Bai Yichen doesn't accept it.

"Sorry to bother you, I still have to go to the hospital, so I'll leave first."

"Thank you for your cooperation, Mr. Bai. Although there is nothing abnormal on the surface, it is better to go to the hospital for a check-up just to be on the safe side."

The middle-aged policeman sighed, "Young people tend to make big mistakes in the heat of the moment. Fortunately, you were not hurt."

"Go to the hospital...I'll take you to the hospital."

A weak force came from her right arm and Wang Ying's body was shaking. It was the first time she encountered such a situation and she was very scared. Now she was very dependent on Bai Yichen who protected her.

"Okay, don't be nervous, I'm fine, right?"

Bai Yichen smiled, his little canine teeth made him look particularly friendly. He moved his shoulders twice and patted his body with his free hand. "I'm fine. Don't be afraid. Take a deep breath and relax..."

He comforted her patiently. Wang Ying took a deep breath, and her heart, which had been beating in her throat, finally calmed down a lot. She held Bai Yichen tightly all the way and wanted to say something but stopped herself several times.

Seeing her uneasiness, Bai Yichen touched his trouser pocket and exchanged two candies with Xiao Heixin.

"I was just wondering why it felt a bit awkward."

His voice attracted Wang Ying's attention. As soon as she looked up, she saw a hand in front of her, with a pink candy pinched between two fingers.

"I just happened to have one more. If you don't help me with it, it will just dissolve on my clothes."

The pitiful look of asking for help made Wang Ying, who was a little overwhelmed, instantly forget her panic and fear. She quickly took it and thanked him in a low voice.

"Thanks……"

She opened the candy wrapper easily, and the rich, milky strawberry flavor spread, with just the right sweetness to soothe her mood.

Bai Yichen chuckled as he hooked the candy with the tip of his tongue, "You helped me solve a big problem, I should be the one thanking you."

Wang Ying knew that he was comforting her, but this gentle attitude made her feel even more guilty. Tears quickly welled up in her eyes, "I'm sorry... I'm really sorry..."

When he arrived at the hospital, Bai Yichen registered for a check-up, and the result showed that everything was normal and he was not injured by the sulfuric acid.

Completely relieved, he saw Wang Ying sitting on a chair and waiting with her head down as soon as he went out.

"After the checkup, the doctor said everything is fine. I'm very lucky—"

"Why don't you hide?"

Wang Ying finally plucked up the courage to ask the question she had been pondering over in her heart all the way. There was a stubbornness in her eyes that was unique to her age, which made Bai Yichen realize that if he didn't answer, this little girl would probably never forget it.

"How should I put it..." He scratched his hair twice, looking serious, "If I hide, it will splash on you, right?"

Wang Ying's heart tightened and her hands turned white from clenching.

"It's okay for a grown man like me to get hurt, but for a girl like you, at such a good age and with such a pretty and lovely face... it would be a pity if you got hurt."

Bai Yichen pursed his lips as he looked at the person with more and more tears. He bent down in panic, half-crouched in front of Wang Ying, looked her in the eye, and said dryly, "Actually, I was scared too, but the situation at that time didn't allow me to think so much. It's not that I was selfless. To be precise, my mind was blank at that time, and I didn't know what I was doing at all—"

He really didn't know how to coax girls, so he just kept his mouth shut.

"Stop talking..."

Wang Ying's eyes were filled with soreness and her heart felt extremely achy. She suppressed her tears and it took her a long time to stop.

"I believe you. Hiccup, you are definitely not the kind of person who interferes with other people's relationships..."

Bai Yichen: “…”

Do you remember this incident?

She was crying so hard that she was hiccuping and her eyes were full of tears and snot. Not to mention her image, she closed her mouth after saying this and felt a burning sensation on her face.

A piece of paper was placed in her hand. She couldn't see the person in front of her because her vision was blurred by tears. She could only hear, "Wipe your tears and take a break before crying."

Just as she pressed the paper to her face, she heard a whisper.

"I accept your apology."

The next second, a big hand touched the top of his head. "Don't do this kind of thing next time. There are all kinds of people on the Internet. You have to learn to distinguish the real from the fake."

Wang Ying nodded dazedly, "Yeah! I will never do this again, I will unfollow you when I get back!"

"And." Bai Yichen gestured under her gaze, "Does your family know you're out?"

Wang Ying froze and lowered her head guiltily, "My home is quite close to here..."

Bai Yichen raised an eyebrow, "How close?"

Wang Ying didn't want to lie to him, so she said truthfully, "...the next city."

"I told my mom that I was traveling with my friends."

Bai Yichen rubbed his brows, stood up and sat next to her, "Where is your home?"

Wang Ying subconsciously said the address.

Bai Yichen just picked up the phone, thought about it and put it down again, "Are you going back by yourself, or are you going to let your family pick you up?"

"I can do it myself!"

Wang Ying raised her head suddenly, and shrank her neck under Bai Yichen's gaze, "Can you please not tell my family..."

She was so nervous that she even forgot that Bai Yichen didn't know her parents.

With Xiao Hei Xin around, it wouldn't be difficult for Bai Yichen to find out, but he wasn't going to do that.

"Okay, I won't tell."

Wang Ying breathed a sigh of relief, and her tense body relaxed slightly. "You are such a good person."

Bai Yichen waved his hands quickly, "No, it's too hard to be a good person, especially a very good person."

The relaxed atmosphere made her start a joke as well, "You are so good at making girls happy, and you are handsome too, there must be a lot of people who like you, right?"

It was hard for Wang Ying to refuse such tenderness. Bai Yichen was handsome and had a good personality. He saved her despite the danger and even ignored his previous behavior. Instead, he gently comforted her...

She asked this question out of curiosity.

"That's not the case—"

“…Achen.”

Just as Bai Yichen was about to say no, he heard a very familiar voice, so familiar that he thought he was hallucinating, because the person should be lying in bed resting, maybe going downstairs, or pouring water in the kitchen -

Anyway, it shouldn't be here.

A shadow fell, and he looked up. The familiar face was a little pale, with messy hair, two buttons of the shirt were unbuttoned, one trouser leg was slightly rolled up, and the dark eyes were covered with a layer of mist, mixed with a hint of water color.

The moment their eyes met, Bai Yichen seemed to see him crying.

"Lanzhi?"
