Moonlight falls into my arms

"I won't use it for trading. How much money do you want? I'll give it to you directly." His unquestionable tone suppressed Ruan Li's lively thoughts.

"This, this isn't about money at all." Ruan Li clutched the warm blanket around her, her brow furrowed, and she bit her dry lips.

She lost her identity, she lost everything; she couldn't stay in hotels or get a membership card.

Ruan Li lay on the hospital bed, wrapped in a blanket, clutching her diary tightly in her hand, looking at him with pleading and pitiful eyes, "Please help me, I'll help you too. I can help you pursue your first love, you just need to take care of my daily life."

"..."

"I'm not tall, so I can sleep in a small bed or even on the floor." Ruan Li pursed her lips and blinked at him.

"..."

"I don't eat much, I can live without meat..." She reluctantly conceded another step.

"It's no use for you to stay with me. I won't agree to anything you ask."

"I won't keep hanging on to you forever. Once I find out the truth and can go home, I will definitely repay you." Ruan Li threw off the covers, walked barefoot to him, and clearly regarded the person in front of her as her savior.

Ruan Li smiled at him, revealing her adorable dimples, "I'm very well-behaved and easy to take care of."

Jiang Yuci stared at her blankly, as if he hadn't heard her speak.

Not only her face, but also her dimples when she smiled, her petite figure, and her energetic tone of voice all overlapped with the image of her deep in my memory.

Jiang Yuci left the hospital with Ruan Li. His coat was gone and was put on the girl behind him.

Following behind was Ruan Li, who was wrapped in his coat, the hem of which almost touched the ground, making him look like a pen holder, with only his round head showing.

Jiang Yu didn't drive; he took a taxi.

The two got into the back seat.

Once everything settled down, Ruan Li felt the itching and pain from the various bruises and wounds on her body. She pursed her lips and silently brushed away the grime next to the wound on her knee with her fingertips.

Jiang Yuci suddenly asked the driver to stop at the commercial city.

Ruan Li was at a loss.

Just as Jiang Yuci opened the car door to get out, she carefully grabbed the corner of his sweater.

Jiang Yuci turned his head, his eyes fixed on the hand clenched at the corner of his clothes, before looking at her.

Ruan Li looked up at him. "Where are you going?" She added, "...It's not good to lie."

"Buy clothes," he replied with three words.

Ruan Li looked at his broad shoulders. He took off his coat and gave it to her. He was wearing a thin shirt and a gray sweater.

Ruan Li still wouldn't let go. "Can I come with you?"

Seeing the hesitation in Jiang Yuci's eyes, she added, "I won't pester you to buy things."

Ruan Li seemed to be constantly emphasizing to Jiang Yuci that she was very well-behaved.

Poor.

Jiang Yu paid the driver part of the fare first to show that the two of them were not trying to skip out on the bill.

And so, Ruan Li, who was straighter than a pen holder, entered the mall.

Ruan Li followed him into a women's clothing store, and only then did she vaguely realize that Jiang Yuci wanted to buy clothes for her.

Ruan Li looked at the clothes, but Jiang Yuci didn't wait for her to choose. He grabbed a few items and was about to pay.

The clothes Jiang Yuci took to pay for were all black and gray, basic styles, just like him—cold, brooding, and uninteresting.

Ruan Li nudged his sleeve.

Jiang Yuci took a step back, seemingly disliking her contact, and looked at her with his handsome features.

Ruan Li hesitated, then said weakly, "...It's nothing."

drop--

Jiang Yuci entered the password and pushed open the door to her home.

The moment the lights came on, the heating also turned on automatically.

"By the way, what's your name?" Ruan Li asked, standing at the door.

"Jiang Yuci." His voice was hoarse and weary, like a slow, gentle stream.

After saying that, he looked at Ruan Li with a scrutinizing gaze, "And you?"

Ruan Li paused, "You, you remember my name, don't you? My name is Ruan Li."

Jiang Yuci's cold gaze held a fleeting hint of disdain. "Real name."

“My real name is Ruan Li.” She said with a hint of annoyance, “I am Ruan Li.”

Compared to her excitement, Jiang Yuci was much calmer and let her go in first.

People have to bow their heads under the roof.

Ruan Li muttered to herself, "Believe it or not, my name is Ruan Li."

Jiang Yuci placed the shopping bags she was carrying on the sofa.

With the heating on full blast, Ruan Li took off the rather comical-looking coat she was wearing.

"Thank you." She folded the clothes and handed them to Jiang Yuci.

Jiang Yuci took a step back, his gaze fixed on her black-stained shirt and skirt.

Ruan Li felt slighted, so she hung the clothes on the rack next to her. "This... is soy sauce."

Before Jiang Yuci could say anything, the little girl in front of him pouted and burst into tears.

"I was going home, and my mom told me to bring a bottle of soy sauce back with me. Suddenly, I couldn't open the door. My house wasn't my house anymore. That old man hit me with his cane, calling me a thief, but that was clearly my house..."

Jiang Yuci noticed the minor abrasions on her body and, listening to her story, didn't take it seriously at all. His brow furrowed slightly. "Did they deliberately hurt you?"

"I fell myself," Ruan Li said, then anxiously took a step forward as Jiang Yuci walked past her. "Jiang, Jiang Yuci, where am I going to sleep?"

"Come here first."

Ruan Li followed.

There were two cups on the bathroom sink. Ruan Li asked, "Are there other people in your family?"

Jiang Yuci uttered a "no" and half-squatted down to take out an unopened new toothbrush from the cabinet under the sink.

He was about to stand up when Ruan Li pressed his head down.

Jiang Yuci's entire body stiffened.

Ruan Li held up a tiny, withered leaf between her fingers to show him.

"..." Jiang Yuci pursed her lips tightly, said nothing, and handed her the toothbrush in her hand.

Just as Ruan Li was about to use the ointment on the table, Jiang Yuci stopped her again.

Ruan Li looked at him and winked.

"I'll get you a new one."

Ruan Li watched as he opened a new tube of toothpaste for her, and she asked, "Do you have OCD?"

Jiang Yu did not answer her question.

"You have injuries, so it's not suitable for you to take a bath. Just wipe yourself with a towel." Jiang Yuci placed the toiletries she had bought on the way on the table.

“That’s a guest room. Which one are you staying in?” Jiang Yuci pointed to a room outside and added, “Don’t disturb me.”

Ruan Li nodded. "Okay."

After Jiang Yuci finished speaking, he turned around, went out, and closed the bathroom door.

After brushing her teeth and washing her face, Ruan Li looked at the bath towel in her hand and then at the showerhead next to her.

She looked around but couldn't find the switch.

Ruan Li walked over and happened to stand under the showerhead, trying to figure out where the switch was.

With a whoosh, the showerhead sprayed water, soaking Ruan Li completely.

She closed her eyes and quickly took a few steps back, and the water stopped.

Ruan Li looked down at her clothes, which were soaked through, and her wounds throbbed with pain.

She stood there stunned in the bathroom, unsure of what to do. She walked to the bathroom door, opened it, and saw that the floor of Jiang Yuci's house was gleaming from being mopped, with no trace of human habitation.

Ruan Li took off her shoes, dried her feet with a towel, and carefully walked outside.

But in the living room, she saw Jiang Yuci getting a drink of water.

He looked tired, took a sip of water as if lost in thought, and his eyes glazed over when he saw Ruan Li.

I then noticed that her clothes were soaked.
