“What happened with Ningning?”
Lu Zhi asked patiently as he wiped her tears.
Shen Yunci could not speak clearly.
“Ningning… she, she…”
She would continue crying for a long time after uttering a single word. Lu Zhi’s heart ached, but he also wanted to know what was wrong.
He hugged Shen Yunci and comforted her for a while, but then he said, “If you don’t tell me, I’ll go and ask Ningning. Did she bully you?”
Hearing this, Shen Yunci slapped his shoulder.
“No way Ningning did that.”
Seeing that she was finally speaking coherently, Lu Zhi raised his hand and carressed her hair. “Alright, so she didn’t. Please tell me what happened to
Ningning, I’m worried too.”
Shen Yunci pursed her lips and tried her best to hold back her tears.
“Ningning… she seems to be injured.”
She choked on the last few words.
The thought of that shocking wound made her feel terrible.
Lu Zhi was startled. “She’s injured? Is it serious? Does she need to see a doctor?”
He stood up and was about to leave when Shen Yunci hurriedly stopped him.
“Don’t go! Don’t go!’
Seeing Shen Yunci’s anxious and pitiful look, Lu Zhi turned around and looked at her. “Okay, okay, I’m not going. Tell me in detail.” Then, he patted her head. “Take your time. It’s fine.”
Shen Yunci nodded and sat down to look at him.
Lu Zhi sat beside her.
Only then did Shen Yunci slowly tell him what had just happened.
“l went to bring some fruits to Ningning and Little Ci, but I forgot to knock on the door and went straight in. When I went in, I saw…” Shen Yunci’s voice changed, then she continued in between sobs, “l saw Little Ci wiping Ningnings waist, and Ningning had a big wound on her waist. It looked very serious and terrible… Then, Little Ci covered it, afraid that I would see it. Ningning also sat up and talked to me. She didn’t want me to know, so 1 pretended not to see anything and quickly went out…”
After she spoke, she could not help but cry again. She raised her hand to wipe her tears and continued, “That wound looked really, really serious…”
Lu Zhi raised his hand to hug her, his eyes slightly red.
But this time, he did not say anything. He did not know what he could say.
Lu Ning did not want them to know and had been hiding it. She was probably afraid that they would worry, but how did she get injured?
Listening to Shen Yunci’s description and looking at her, Lu Zhi realized that the wound should not be small. “Old Lu, how did Ningning get injured?” Shen Yunci could not help but ask.
Lu Zhi suddenly stood up. “I’ll ask her.”
Shen Yunci immediately stopped her. “Don’t go! Ningning doesn’t want us to know! ”
“But why wouldn’t she tell us that she was injured? And it’s not just a small injury! How can we be at ease like this? I want to know how her injury came about! ”
Shen Yunci hurried over and blocked the door. “You’re not allowed to go!’
Lu Zhi looked at her and sighed deeply. “Yunci…”
Shen Yunci suddenly looked at him and said, “Do you think he did it…”
Lu Zhi was also stunned. “Are you talking about Ji?ng Zhe?”
Shen Yunci nodded.
Lu Zhi looked at her solemnly.
“He’s probably in A City by this time.”
Lu Zhi raised his head slightly and looked at the snow-white wall. He murmured, “Yes, their death anniversary is coming soon.”
Shen Yunci lowered her eyes and tears fell to the ground. She could not help but say, “Old Lu, we seem to have implicated our daughter.”
Lu Zhi walked closer and gently pulled her into his arms. “I’ll go look for him.
I’ll talk to him. It’s been so many years, we can’t continue like this..”
