After Prince Guo was reborn, Zhen Huan became invincible

Wen Shichu's eyes were a little evasive at this moment. He tried hard to keep himself calm. Although Zhen Huan had just told him privately that Shen Meizhuang liked him, he couldn't even imagine that he could actually win Shen Meizhuang's favor.

Wen Shichu's eyes were wandering, sometimes looking at Shen Meizhuang, sometimes looking at the lakeside dotted with lanterns.

Then he replied, "Your humble servant...oh no...I learned from Miss Zhen that the riverside is full of lanterns and the scenery is pleasant, so I came here to enjoy it. I didn't expect to meet Miss Shen here."

Now, in public, Zhen Huan and Shen Meizhuang asked them to call themselves Miss instead of Yiming and Guiren. Wen Shichu was still not used to calling them that sometimes.

Shen Meizhuang found Wen Shichu's shy and timid look somewhat cute. He spoke haltingly and couldn't even lie.

He clearly came with paper and writing brush in his hand, so Zhen Huan must have asked him to bring writing brush to write down his wishes for her. He also said that he came here to see the lanterns.

Shen Meizhuang, who was originally depressed and lonely, was now unconsciously feeling happy. She didn't have the heart to expose him and embarrass him, so she changed the subject and asked:

"What did Sister Huan do?"

"Well...of course I'm going to find Prince Guo." Wen Shichu said slowly.

Caiyue and Ajin standing aside at this moment showed joy on their faces. They already knew that Xiaoguo was pretending to be Prince Guo, and they also knew that Prince Guo and Zhen Huan were in love. But what they didn't know was the subtle emotional entanglement between Wen Wen Shichu and Shen Meizhuang, so they stood there stupidly.

"Then this lantern left by Sister Huan is of no use, so I'll give it to you." Shen Meizhuang casually picked up a lantern beside her and handed it to Wen Shichu.

"Thank you, Miss Shen." Wen Shichu said happily.

"Caiyue, it's a rare Qiqiao Festival tonight and we can light lanterns. You and Ajin can go and have fun. Write down your wishes here first, and then find a place to light the lanterns." Shen Meizhuang turned around and instructed Caiyue.

"But, without A Jin and I here, I'm afraid that you, young lady..." Cai Yue hadn't finished her words.

"Don't worry, as your master, I should also consider you more. Look, there is Wen Shichu, he will protect me." Shen Meizhuang just finished speaking, and suddenly realized that the words "he will protect me" were a bit ambiguous. Her face blushed involuntarily.

But when I think about how I am now, I feel very conflicted and sad.

Caiyue heard her master say this. To be honest, she also wanted to be alone with Ajin. Although she was a little shy, she knew that Prince Guo was such a talented and kind person, so Ajin who followed him would naturally not be bad either.

After Caiyue and Ajin wrote down their wishes while covering their faces, they walked towards the river.

At this time, only Shen Meizhuang and Wen Shichu were left.

Wen Shichu knew very well that Shen Meizhuang had been in a bad mood since she was frightened these days, but what he didn't know was that Shen Meizhuang had been defiled and was in an extremely depressed state every day. He wanted to talk to her several times but never found a chance. Tonight was his best chance.

"Ms. Shen, let's write our wishes first." Wen Shichu said gently.

"Miss Shen, Miss Shen, I've told you so many times that you can call me Mei'er or Mei Zhuang from now on." Shen Mei Zhuang said angrily.

"But the rules cannot be broken, I..." Wen Shichu took a look at Shen Meizhuang's sad expression at the moment, and he realized that he should be more considerate of her and go along with her instead of making her unhappy.

So he changed his words and said, "Mei'er."

Shen Meizhuang had turned away angrily, but when she heard Wen Shichu calling her Mei'er, she turned around. Her heart trembled slightly, and then she turned around again, with a complex emotion in her eyes.

She looked at Wen Shichu and said slowly: "You know, ever since that incident, I have been unable to accept myself again and again. Even I hate myself. You won't understand me, and I am not worthy of you."

Wen Shichu looked at Shen Meizhuang. Although he didn't understand what Shen Meizhuang meant by "that thing", his eyes were full of heartache and pity. He approached her gently and said softly:

"Mei'er, no matter what happened, you have always been so pure, beautiful, kind, and brave in my heart. I admire your strength, and your pain also makes me distressed. If possible, I am willing to share everything for you."

When Shen Meizhuang heard Wen Shichu's words, her eyes turned red. She raised her head and forced a smile:

"Wen Shichu, you don't understand, you really don't understand. I am no longer as beautiful as you said. After all, we are... not destined to be together."

At this moment, Shen Meizhuang burst into tears. She gently wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with an embroidered handkerchief. After all, it was impossible, and she felt very uncomfortable.

Wen Shichu's heart tightened, but he still said gently:

"No matter what you become, I want to be by your side. I don't know when I started to secretly love you. As long as I can be by your side, even if we are just close friends, I will be satisfied. Mei'er, I don't want you to bear all the pain alone, okay?"

Shen Meizhuang was deeply moved by Wen Shichu's words. The ice in her heart seemed to begin to melt and tears fell unconsciously.

She choked up and said, "I was really scared. Whenever it was late at night and everyone was asleep, I would always think of that terrible scene. I felt like I couldn't hold on any longer."

Wen Shichu reached out and gently stroked her hair. His warm palm brought a touch of comfort: "Mei'er, you are not alone. You still have me. You can tell me anything you want."

Shen Meizhuang felt Wen Shichu's sincerity and warmth, and finally couldn't help but throw herself into his arms and burst into tears.

Wen Shichu hugged her tightly, patted her back gently, and whispered to comfort her: "Cry it out, Mei'er, it will make you feel better. I'm here and I won't leave."

In Wen Shichu's warm embrace, Shen Meizhuang's heart gradually calmed down.

She knew that in her current state, she could not deceive Wen Shichu. He treated her so sincerely, so she decided to tell him the most painful thing in her heart.

"Shichu, I... I am not clean anymore. I knew nothing about that night..." Shen Meizhuang said while shaking her head with tears in her eyes.

She gritted her teeth and continued, "I really don't know anything. When I woke up, I found out that I was unclean. I was really in pain."
