This was the first time Zi Yan had given this to her. She clenched her fists in anger. If she had known earlier, he would have attacked even harder.

As she wiped her sweat, Bai Zi Yan also saw the bruise on her neck.

He had never been emotional, but at the moment he couldn't control the emotions running through his mind. He could imagine, in order to protect the pendant that he bought, he was still worried about him even though he was injured by those hooligans.

During these days of interaction, he felt as if his whole body was shrouded in layers of mist, but he chose to stop, his rationality always having the upper hand. In his world, emotions were the easiest part of a human to attack, and also the easiest weakness to catch on to.

"Mu Ran."

Someone called to her in a low voice from behind. She froze, but that person had already hugged her from behind.

"Zi Yan." She tried to turn her head.

However, Bai Zi Yan held her tightly and did not say a word.

Mu Ran also did not say anything, she was still holding her, and the two of them leaned on each other, bringing along a bit of warmth on this winter night.

After a while, she broke free from his embrace, smiling as she joked, "You wear so much, is it still hot?"

Hearing her words, Bai Zi Yan felt that it was unpleasing to the ear. He quietly let go of her and turned to hold her hand: "Are you alright?"

Bai Zi Yan's hands were empty, he was not discouraged, and grabbed onto her as if he was unconscious.

"Let's go."

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Su Mu Ran said loudly. Realizing that she had lost control of herself, she coughed: "The pendant you gave me shattered."

Silly girl.

He had always known that she was foolish, but he had never realized that she could be stupid to this extent. For the sake of the pendant that he had bought, she rushed into the sea of fire without a care for her life.

Bai Zi Yan's heart skipped a beat and picked her up.

Su Mu Ran was shocked, she immediately hugged onto his neck with a blushing face and said: "Quickly, put me down."

"Don't move." While carrying her, he called Hou Da Ban.

"We're on Xinle Road. Since sister-in-law is fine, we'll return to the inn first." As he spoke, he glanced at Mu Ran, who had her head lowered.

After he finished giving out his instructions, he looked at Mu Ran who was in his embrace and said, "Let's go."

Mu Ran was so embarrassed that her face turned red, "Aren't you tired of hugging me like this?"

"I like it."

"But so many people are looking at us." As they walked along the road, many pedestrians stopped to look at them.

"Let them see." Bai Zi Yan said without changing his expression.

Su Mu Ran looked at his expressionless face, and did not dare to speak anymore.

However, he faintly felt that he seemed to be different than before, having a radiance of 4 zhang.

In the end, she was the one who was sensitive.

She was sent back to her room by Bai Zi Yan and quickly jumped down.

"Is anything wrong with the supermarket?"

"Yes!"

She actually felt that he had shone four Zhang earlier! He must be blind.

Not long later, Bai Zi Yan walked in with a medical case, "Let me see your wound."

Su Mu Ran waved her hand: "It's fine, it's just some minor injuries."

"Come here."

"Oh." Su Mu Ran obediently sat down beside him.

Bai Zi Yan carefully moved her long hair to the side and revealed a distinct bruise and pinch on her neck.

He was actually being bullied like this by a hooligan.

His face was dark, but the strength of his men was softer.

The corner of Su Mu Ran's lips tightened when she saw him, she thought that he was worried, and consoled him with a low voice: "Those thugs didn't get any advantage either, I was also using a mop to retaliate."

"A mop?"

"Mm, hit their Eggy."

He was so angry and so amused at the sight of her, and it hurt so much to think of those people.

"Alright." He stuck a Band-Aid on her neck and warned her carefully, "Don't touch water for the next two days." He brought ice cubes for his face.

"Does it still hurt?"

Su Mu Ran shook her head, her heart was warm.

An inexplicable and subtle feeling flowed through the air.

His palm, warm, icy, cold, passed from his hand to her face through the ice, seeping into every cell. Despite the ice and fire, she could hear her heart beating without rhythm, and the heat that made her feel suddenly uneasy and unable to control herself …

She had obviously tried so hard to keep a safe distance from him, but now …

They were so close, so close, his handsome features and thick, slender lashes, and below them his sexy Adam's apple and collarbone.

She swallowed, not daring to look any further.

Bai Zi Yan raised his head and looked at the girl's infatuated eyes without leaving a trace. It was not that he did not understand, it was just that he could not respond to her.

Just then, the door creaked open. Hou Da Ban walked in followed by a girl.

"Take care of her." He stood up, glanced at Su Mu Ran, closed the door, and went to take care of other matters.

Su Mu Ran looked at his back, and laughed embarrassedly: "I made you guys worry."

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Hou Da Ban said, "This is my cousin Lin Qingxuan, she will take care of you during this period."

"No need, I'm not a disabled person." Su Mu Ran tactfully declined.

"This is a quest that the boss gave me. You don't even know that when the boss found out you were beaten up by a hooligan, he was going to kill someone, and he almost rushed into the fire to save you."

Lin Qingxuan also nodded her head, "Yes, even the manager wants to fight the firemen."

Su Mu Ran was startled, and laughed unconcernedly: "He always has a cold face, but he always treats everyone like this."

"Is there?"

It was almost the middle of the night. Bai Zi Yan did not come back.

After tossing and turning for a while, Ye Zichen received a text message.

"Are you asleep?" Bai Zi Yan asked.

"No, how's it going?"

Bai Zi Yan immediately called, "Why aren't you asleep yet?"

"My face is hurting. I can't sleep."

"I'll get someone to apply ice for you tomorrow. There are still some remaining matters that need to be taken care of. If you have any matters, you can call me anytime."

"Thank you, but I really don't need anyone to take care of me."

"Do you think you have nine lives? You have nine guts? "

"Yes!"

"Rest early." He hung up.

Su Mu Ran put down her phone, touched her swollen cheek, and laid down on the bed. She opened her eyes, unable to fall asleep for a long time.
