After the divorce, the crazy CEO knocked on his ex-wife's door every night.

Despite the excruciating pain, he gritted his teeth and endured it so as not to worry her, not wanting to reveal his vulnerability to her.

He didn't want Xiaoxuan to worry about him, so he bore it all alone.

Under these circumstances, bearing all the pain and pressure alone, so as not to worry Shen Xuan, is the only thing he can do now.

The sound of police cars seemed to fill the air, and the urgent sirens coming from afar were particularly jarring.

They immediately tensed up, hurriedly got into the car, and quickly left the place.

The car door slammed shut, and with a sharp screech as the tires screeched against the ground, the car sped away from the scene.

The atmosphere inside the carriage was somewhat quiet, as if everyone was hiding an unspeakable secret, and people no longer spoke to each other easily.

Li Siyuan sat to the side, his head propped up in his hand, staring blankly ahead. He didn't look at anyone, but silently watched Shen Xuan, who was busy treating her wounds. His heart was filled with unspoken gratitude and a strange, indescribable emotion.

His action only made the atmosphere even more tense.

Shen Xuan, who was sitting in the middle, tore open the sunshade strip and carefully examined Lu Yuchen's injured arm. Then, she gently wrapped the strip around his wound, trying to relieve the pain while providing the most basic protection for the wound.

Lu Yuchen lowered his head and said, "Don't take me home. I don't want my mother to know about this, so she won't worry about me."

His words revealed a deep sense of responsibility towards his family. Although he had suffered physical harm, he still hoped to face these problems alone and did not want his loved ones to be troubled by them.

"Okay, then we won't go back."

Shen Xuan nodded, a smile of understanding and support flashing across her face, while she continued to bandage Lu Yuchen with utmost care, each movement extremely gentle and meticulous.

Clearly, the fact that someone was willing to listen to his request and offer help at this critical moment gave Lu Yuchen a greater sense of security and comfort.

"If you don't want to go to the Lu family, where do you want to go?"

Li Siyuan interjected from the side and asked.

At this moment, he did not hide his worry. Although his tone was calm, everyone could hear the deep concern hidden behind it.

He hopes to determine a destination as soon as possible so that he can arrange the follow-up matters.

"Wherever Xiaoxuan goes, I'll go with her."

Lu Yuchen's answer was firm and decisive, leaving no room for hesitation or wavering.

This attitude not only demonstrates recognition of the deep friendship between friends, but also shows a sense of trust.

"You really can't live without her, huh?"

Li Siyuan said irritably.

Upon hearing this, an indescribable emotion welled up inside them, as if some invisible bond tightly bound the two of them together.

However, on the surface he seemed not to care about these things, but in reality he was feeling a mix of emotions.

For some reason, seeing Lu Yuchen and Shen Xuan being so intimate made him very uncomfortable.

Perhaps it was because this intimacy exceeded what he could accept.

Li Siyuan watched the scene before him silently, feeling both envious and jealous.

We're three good friends, so why do I feel like I'm being neglected?

Lu Yuchen looked at Xiaoxuan and said gently, "Even after all this, Xiaoxuan wouldn't abandon me, would she?"

This half-joking, half-serious confession undoubtedly touched the softest spot in the hearts of everyone present.

Since the accident that just happened was a result of their shared experience, it is only natural for them to express their true feelings at this special time.

These words were clearly meant for the two people in question, because they were the ones who caused his injury, so he naturally wanted to seize this last opportunity to express his feelings.

In this way, one can convey gratitude to friends while also hinting at the unspoken affection deep in one's heart.

"Knowing you need care, why don't you go home sooner? Do you expect others to follow you around like servants?"

Li Siyuan muttered under his breath, his eyes filled with impatience and disdain.

Although he held a different view on the matter, he ultimately chose to respect the other party's opinion, since the most important thing now was to properly resolve the problem at hand rather than argue endlessly.

Such a conversation immediately filled the carriage with tension and awkwardness, and the hearts of the three people seemed to be separated by an invisible barrier.

A subtle atmosphere permeated the entire space, and everyone seemed to be able to sense the ambiguous relationship between each other and the indescribable sense of distance.

After a moment of silence, everyone gradually regained some semblance of normal communication.

Shen Xuan nudged Li Siyuan with her elbow, signaling him to shut up.

This was a silent reminder to Li Siyuan to stop talking.

Because she knew very well that if she argued again at this point, it would only make things worse.

Then Li Siyuan spoke up, "I'm telling the truth. After what happened to you, who do you think you can hide it from?"

Although his tone was much gentler and calmer, it still carried a clear hint of reproach.

This is actually his way of showing concern, but he's not usually good at expressing it directly.

Lu Yuchen slightly raised his eyelids. He knew that once this happened, his mother, Chen Xiuwen, would definitely know about it.

After all, in this circle, nothing can be kept from her.

Thinking back to the previous scene, Lu Yuchen's mind was filled with a variety of complex thoughts.

He asked himself, if this matter really had something to do with Chen Xiuwen, how could he face Shen Xuan in the future?

He began to secretly wonder if Chen Xiuwen was really involved in this matter. If it was all caused by his mother, it would be a disaster for him.

How could he possibly maintain his confidence in front of the woman he loved?

This feeling made Lu Yuchen feel extremely uncomfortable.

Clearly, Shen Xuan was not entirely indifferent; she also had many unforgettable past experiences, but she did not confuse everything with the grudges between the Lu family.

In his eyes, he would always be the one protecting her—Lu Yuchen. Although he sometimes felt awkward about this identity, he never had any thought of hurting her.

About half an hour later, Lu Yuchen finally arrived at the hospital.

Although the wound, after careful treatment by the doctor, was not particularly serious, it still required several stitches to suture and fix it.

He then sat quietly in the chair waiting for the IV drip to finish so he could go home sooner.
