Chapter 182: Whose Face Are You Saving? (2)

Qiao Lian stopped moving forward as she froze on the spot.

Both her hands were still covering her behind subconsciously. It was only when she did not detect any movements from the person behind that she slowly turned her head.

First, she saw the seat cushion on the floor. Next, she saw the huge patch of blood on it.

Her cheeks burned immediately.

She did not even dare to look Shen Liangchuan in the eye. Peering from the corner of her eyes, she saw that Shen Liangchuan was also standing without moving an inch.

Unaware of what he was thinking at the moment, Qiao Lian turned around abruptly and swiftly picked up the cushion from the ground!

Her eyes could only shift around, as she did not dare to look ahead. “Er, erm… I’ll go in first.”

Having said that, she turned around to try to escape.

However, as soon as she turned, she heard Shen Liangchuan say, “What’s that thing?”

Qiao Lian: …

What’s that thing?

It couldn’t be that this grown-up man did not even know a woman’s “thing”!

So, he was definitely doing this on purpose!

Biting her lips, she gave him a glare exasperatedly and turned to run towards the room, while still holding the seat cushion.

As Shen Liangchuan looked at her, his lips curled up.

Qiao Lian dashed to the room upstairs and took her clothes to change in the washroom hurriedly. After she finished tidying herself up, she walked out of the washroom and fretted over the seat cushion.

Initially, she had wanted to place it back after cleaning it. But, what was she going to do now?

Shen Liangchuan saw everything, will he be disgusted by me?

Just when she was at a loss and hesitant, the door was pushed open suddenly. Shen Liangchuan walked in.

The sight of him reminded Qiao Lian of what had happened just now, causing her cheeks to start burning again.

Lowering her head, she cleared her throat, walked towards the bed and picked up her phone as if nothing had happened. Just when she was going to look at it, Shen Liangchuan walked to her and handed her the cup in his hands.

Perplexed, Qiao Lian lifted her head to look, only to discover that the cup was filled with brown sugar water.

As she stared at the brown sugar water, there was a surge of warmth in her heart.

She took the cup from his hands and decided to forgive his fooling around from before.

Lowering her head to take a sip, she said softly, “Thank you.”

Though it was a trifling ‘thank you’, it created a ripple effect deep in Shen Liangchuan’s heart.

The girl sat on the bed, with a blanket covering almost half of her body. Looking down, her lashes fluttered slightly. The light casted on her porcelain-white face momentarily made her look more frail than ever, triggering the primitive protectiveness at the bottom of one’s heart.

As his gaze fell, his Adam’s apple shifted. At last, he replied speedily, “You are welcome.”

Then, he turned around, as he wanted to go back to the study room to do his things. However, at that moment, the atmosphere in the room felt so warm that he did not bear to leave. He paused walking, and thought he might as well pick up his phone and plop onto the sofa.

In the night of Beijing city, the lights shone brightly.

Sounds of car engines could be heard from outside occasionally. However, the atmosphere in the room was warm and peaceful.

After drinking the brown sugar water, Qiao Lian lay on the bed.

She felt small cramps in her lower abdomen, so she placed both hands on her stomach.

Though she was staring at the ceiling, her mind was let loose instantly.

She had used to often talk to Zi Chuan over the phone in the past.

One day, she had been like this too. Her ‘Aunt Flo’ had come, so she did not go online. When Zi Chuan called, she sounded weak too.

Zi Chuan asked, “What’s wrong?”

She answered, “That ‘thing’ came.”

“What thing came?”

“… ‘Aunt Flo!’”

“You have an Aunt Flo? Didn’t you say that your mother was an only child?”

“…”

At that time, Zi Chuan had been such a brainless fool.
