Frontier of rebirth

"Maybe!" Zi Ran looked up at the sky and forced a smile, "It's going to rain soon."

The sky was gloomy, and the dark clouds formed a dense mass of darkness, and people on the street were in a hurry.Neither of them spoke, allowing the silence to spread.

Sure enough, when the sky just got dark, the heavy rain began to pour down.Zi Ran stayed in her room, with a kerosene lamp burning on the table, a book in her hand, but she didn't read a word.

"Bang bang bang." There were three rhythmic knocks on the door.Zi Ran immediately recognized that the person outside the door was Shu Jiaoyan.Every time she knocked on the door, it was like this, with the same severity, the same rhythm, polite and restrained.

Zi Ran wanted to pretend that she had gone to bed, but the brightly burning lamp on the table betrayed her.Helpless, Zi Ran had no choice but to open the door.She saw Shu Jiaoyan standing outside the door showing a surprised expression, a real surprise.

Even though she knew that it was Shu Jiaoyan who came, Zi Ran never expected that the other party would appear in front of her in such a distressed manner.

Shu Jiaoyan's face was pale, her hair was still dripping with water, and her clothes were already soaked, sticking to her body, making her look fragile and helpless, and one couldn't help feeling sorry for her.

Seeing Ziran open the door, Shu Jiaoyan showed a weak smile and said, "It seems that I did not go to the wrong place." After speaking, he passed out.

Zi Ran quickly caught Shu Jiaoyan and held her in his arms. Shu Jiaoyan felt the heat source, and approached Zi Ran unconsciously.Zi Ran just looked at her in a daze, at that moment she felt that Shu Jiaoyan was a little strange.

This strangeness does not come from her eyebrows and eyes, but from her current demeanor, which is tired and fragile.The Shu Jiaoyan she knew was as calm and energetic as she was in the daytime. Even in the face of adversity, she was not discouraged at all, and she was full of plans for her own future.Speaking of which, Shu Jiaoyan is not a kind person, and he has never thought of being a kind person, but Zi Ran loves such a Shu Jiaoyan.She is not perfect, but she is always trying to find a way to make herself invincible.Such a person will not and should not easily expose his fragility in front of outsiders.

Even so, Zi Ran would not ignore Shu Jiaoyan.She picked up Shu Jiaoyan, took off her drenched clothes, put her on the bed, and asked the waiter to boil some hot water, make a bowl of ginger soup, and then bring some clean clothes.Seeing that Shu Jiaoyan came here alone in the middle of the night, presumably she didn't want to let the Shu family know her whereabouts, so Zi Ran didn't go to the doctor.

Zi Ran was used to serving Shu Jiaoyan in her previous life, and it is not unfamiliar at all to do it now.Zi Ran carefully wiped off the water stains on Shu Jiaoyan's body, then brought the bowl of ginger soup to Shu Jiaoyan's mouth.

At this moment, Shu Jiaoyan woke up. She looked around in a daze, then locked her eyes on Zi Ran, grabbed her hand, and said softly, "Thank you. I really don't know what to do." Who to look for, only you and Daoist Bihua can help me. I don't want to drag you into this kind of thing, but I really have no choice. For the sake of saving you, you help me this time Okay?" At the end, Shu Jiaoyan's voice was a little choked up.

Zi Ran wanted to soften her heart, but reason kept stopping her.The last time Zi Ran saw Shu Jiaoyan like this was when she was lying.Although Shu Jiaoyan has a strong personality, he does not reject using this method to win sympathy and achieve his goal.For a moment, Zi Ran felt that all the care she had given Shu Jiaoyan just now was in vain.

"My ability is limited, I can call Master Bihua for you, you should ask Master Bihua!" Zi Ran looked away and withdrew her hand calmly.

"Okay." Shu Jiaoyan looked a little disappointed.

Zi Ran put ginger soup beside the bed and walked out.She closed the door and leaned against the door with a long sigh of relief.She knew that Shu Jiaoyan still wanted to use her this time, and for a moment she wanted to be used willingly by her.She almost hated herself when she found out.

She went to find Master Bihua as she had told Shu Jiao, but Master Bihua was not there.Zi Ran went to ask Xiao Er, and Xiao Er said that Master Bihua left before it rained and never came back.

When Zi Ran returned to the room, Shu Jiaoyan was only wearing a coat and half leaning against the head of the bed. He had just finished drinking the ginger soup, when he saw Zi Ran walking in, he smiled at her.

"Reverend Bi Hua went out and hasn't come back yet." Zi Ran tried not to look at her.

Shu Jiaoyan didn't mind Ziran's attitude at all, with gentle eyes, he said to himself: "I still remember the first time I saw you, you just reached my chest, and you were only seven or eight years old at that time, you still So small, but so strong. The look in your eyes at that time made me think that you will definitely achieve something in the future. I thought, how can such a cute child be bullied so much? I want to keep you by my side, I hope This way you can live a better life, but you have your own thoughts. I have been worried about you for a long time after you left. So many years have passed in a blink of an eye, and you are better than I imagined. I am a little envious of you Now, you can live the life you want.”

Zi Ran almost didn't know how to answer, she didn't even think that Shu Jiaoyan would remember this matter so clearly.She thought that it would not be long before Shu Jiaoyan would forget her, after all, there was nothing worthy of the other party's attention on her body.Even though the words she worried about were all false, Zi Ran was a little moved.

"How can you be in the Shu family with your current appearance?" Zi Ran didn't care about Shu Jiaoyan's words.

"I'm fine. It was an accident that I fainted just now. Just take a rest."

"Accident? Can't you pay attention to your own body? What if something goes wrong?" These words almost blurted out. After finishing speaking, both Zi Ran and Shu Jiaoyan were stunned for a moment.

Zi Ran lowered her head, but her slightly red ears betrayed her.Seeing this, Shu Jiaoyan laughed softly.

"I promise I'm really fine, you don't need to worry." No matter how she heard it, Zi Ran felt that Shu Jiaoyan's tone seemed to be coaxing a child who was having a temper tantrum.

She secretly resented that she had been with Master Bihua for a long time. In some aspects, the more she lived, the more she regressed. Now she is used to saying what she thinks, and she doesn't need to hide her true thoughts, and such an approach will definitely suffer from outside of.

"Stop standing there, come and sit down. We haven't seen each other for so many years, I really want to know what you have been through these years."

"Then why don't you tell me about yourself first?" Zi Ran asked back.

"I came here tonight to say these things. But why not wait until the real Bihua comes back?"

Under Shu Jiaoyan's gaze, Zi Ran was still defeated, she moved a chair and sat by the bed as she said, and told Shu Jiaoyan some irrelevant things.She talked about the scenery of Yihai Town, the life of the fishermen, and even mentioned Qingsiqingnian, but she didn't reveal the true identities of the two of them.

Shu Jiaoyan smiled while listening. Although Zi Ran always felt that he didn't have much talent for storytelling and spoke dryly, Shu Jiaoyan still listened with great interest.

"I also look forward to the day when I can go out for a walk in person, instead of being trapped in the capital and never being able to leave." After hearing this, Shu Jiaoyan said a little sadly.

"Now that you have such great power, who can trap you?" Zi Ran was puzzled. Although Shu Jiaoyan seldom left the capital in his previous life, it was not that he had never been to other places.She always stayed in the capital just because she had something to do in the capital and she didn't want to leave. She had never heard that she was trapped in the capital.

"If you want to get something, you have to pay, and this is my price."
