After Black Moonlight revealed her true feelings, everyone panicked.

Lian Buman was also preoccupied with another matter: Shen Baolin had actually blocked Xia Youyou, who had delivered the message, at the crucial moment.

Was it a misunderstanding, or was it intentional?

Regardless of any difficulties or reasons, they are not a justification for the other party to do this.

At least Lu Sijian wouldn't have done that. If it weren't for saving Shen Baolin, Lu Sijian would never have appeared in that abandoned school building to fight the criminals to the death.

Lian Buman was so certain because she had personally witnessed Lu Sijian leaving the school that night.

“She had no reason to turn back unless she discovered that Shen Baolin was in danger.”

Upon hearing the old stories, Sheng Yunchao pieced together the missing puzzle.

According to the information he investigated, Shen Baolin was the second person to be abducted, and the third was Mu Liangyue.

Shen Baolin seemed to therefore believe that Mu Liangyue was her savior.

As for why Lu Sijian was there, she had never even considered it.

Lian Buman left after speaking, trusting that Sheng Yunchao would figure things out.

She also noticed that Shen Baolin's several attempts to befriend her were all aimed at isolating Lu Sijian.

She told me that Xia Youyou had been bribed by Lu Sijian long ago, just so she could see me and Lu Sijian fall out. Was she gloating?

Lian Buman figured all this out and sneered inwardly.

Shen Baolin was destined to be disappointed. Not only would she not be an enemy of Lu Sijian, but she would also utterly shatter the other party's hypocritical facade.

-

Lu Sijian asked Xia Youyou about the situation.

Xia Youyou didn't hide anything and told her that Shen Baolin had blocked her today.

Xia Youyou had always thought Shen Baolin was sick, but it was normal for friends to have conflicts after spending a long time together. She couldn't say much since they were not close friends.

But what the other party did today went too far, and she couldn't understand it!

Lu Sijian wasn't surprised by Shen Baolin's reaction. "Perhaps she's been busy with something lately."

Shen Baolin is a self-centered, high-needs person; she doesn't care much about other people's affairs.

Besides, the Shen family is probably in complete chaos right now, isn't it?

Lu Sijian snapped out of her thoughts and turned around to see Sheng Yunchao standing outside the ward.

"Are you alright?" she asked with some concern. Sheng Yunchao was soaking wet and looked disheveled when he arrived.

Even so, it did not diminish the person's beauty. It seemed that the rain made her skin appear even whiter, and in the dim light of the day, she almost seemed to be glowing.

He has changed into a suit jacket, but the shirt underneath still seems to be wet, as he hasn't had time to change it.

Lu Sijian: "By the way, there's a bathroom in the ward. Why don't you take a hot shower?"

Autumn is here, so be careful not to catch a cold.

Sheng Yunchao smiled and said, "Then I'll take my leave."

Guanyu brought over the clothes, and he went straight in to wash up.

Xia Youyou still had work to do, so she took her laptop and went to work next door with Guan Yu.

The ward quieted down. Lu Sijian lay on the hospital bed, closed her eyes, and tried to rest, but her mind was in turmoil, and she couldn't fall asleep.

"Senior sister." She opened her eyes upon hearing the voice and saw Sheng Yunchao standing in front of the hospital bed.

He wore a bathrobe, which looked less formal and more languid, exuding an understated allure.

But because of her excellent temperament, she looks like she's walking a runway or shooting a magazine spread, yet she doesn't appear lazy.

On the contrary, their aura is more assertive than that of someone dressed in a suit and tie, giving them a strong sense of aggression.

Lu Sijian's gaze unconsciously drifted to the other person's delicate collarbone, and then followed it downwards...

"Why are you dressed like this?" Lu Sijian sat up abruptly, trying to resist the temptation!

Sheng Yunchao couldn't help but chuckle, "I'm staying with you at the hospital, why can't I dress like this?"

He leaned down to look at Lu Sijian, his expression mocking, "Why don't you dare look at me, senior?"

"How could this be?" Lu Sijian looked up and then sighed.

What am I supposed to think of you? I'd really like to feel your abs, but what can I do about it?

Sheng Yunchao's gaze fell on her two hands, which were wrapped like rice dumplings, and his expression darkened.

"I'm sorry." He sat down in the chair next to me, his gaze gentle and focused. "Does your hand still hurt?"

Before Lu Sijian could answer, he continued, "It must hurt a lot. The anesthesia has worn off by now, right? This hospital isn't very good at hand nerve recovery, but don't worry, I'll find a specialist to examine your hand."

Lu Sijian thought of Xie Qinglan, but didn't seem to care much. "It's okay, no rush."

Unlike Xie Qinglan, who wields a scalpel, I don't.

Once the mission is complete, I can log off and leave this world, and then I won't need to worry about whether my hand has been healed or not.

Sheng Yunchao's eyelids twitched suddenly, and he grabbed Lu Sijian's arm, "Ah Jian!"

He paused, took a deep breath, and said, "Don't put yourself in danger again."

He was eager to deal with He Zongyuan, but he underestimated the extent of He Jinhuan's madness.

I still feel lingering fear when I think about it now.

However, he also knew that the other party would most likely not listen to his advice.

What she was doing was like walking a tightrope over a cliff; the slightest misstep would result in her being shattered to pieces and never recovering.

"By the way, what were you thinking about with that serious look on your face just now?" he asked, changing the subject. "Were you wondering why Lian Buman was suddenly being so enthusiastic towards you?"

Lu Sijian lowered her eyes: "...It wasn't sudden. She's always been quite enthusiastic. I was just too indifferent and ignored her."

She had just lay in bed when she thought about many details, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt that she was a scumbag, and that the original owner of this body was a scumbag.

[They didn't treat me badly at all, but I'm the one who kept helping Shen Baolin slap her in the face.]

[The last clarification statement was the same; even Bu Man's actions were a slap in the face to Lou Xiao!]

[...You should know that going against the male and female leads will never end well!]

Sheng Yunchao patted her head. "Alright, don't think too much. Are you hungry? I've had someone bring you some food."

He now roughly understands why Lu Sijian kept talking about seducing him, but never actually did it.

She was never willing to drag them down with her.

Perhaps this is also a form of indirect protection.

Sheng Yunchao looked at the gloomy sky outside the window, a sharp glint flashing in his eyes.

If the world they inhabit is truly a book, then who is the divine hand that manipulates the plot of this book?

Could there be a group of high and mighty gods in this world, watching over the fate of each and every one of them?

-

Kingdom of God.

Noticing the gaze that was directed at him from afar, the man narrowed his eyes sharply.

"Priest, what's wrong?" someone nearby couldn't help but ask.

The black-haired priest looked thoughtfully at a certain star. "Do you think someone might have discovered our existence?"

"Huh?" The other person was a little confused. What kind of question was that?

"Of course!" a nonchalant voice rang out, and a red-haired man dressed in a brocade robe adorned with the sun, moon, and stars walked over.

He looked down at the dazzling Milky Way below, where countless stars drifted along their orbits.

"In these three thousand small worlds, where is there no one who prays for the protection of the gods? Don't they all know that there are gods watching over them? We are their gods."
