Zhou Jinchuan saw that Political Commissar Wang was still able to handle things calmly, so he didn’t continue speaking.
He took Su Yi and led her into the car.
When Qin Yunfeng saw the two of them leaving, he hurriedly took a few steps forward.
He wanted to say a few more words of concern to Su Yi, but he didn’t know what to say.
Moreover, it seemed like she didn’t want to see him.
Looking at Bai Ruolin being carried onto the ambulance beside them, he couldn’t help but let out a deep sigh.
He couldn’t understand how things had escalated to this point.
Thinking about the things Bai Ruolin did when she sneaked back, a chill spread from the bottom of his feet.
If he had known that this day would come, perhaps he shouldn’t have provoked Bai Ruolin from the beginning.
Now, it was too late to say anything.
Su Yi sat in the car, glanced at Qin Yunfeng outside the window, and then looked at Bai Ruolin lying on the stretcher.
She also couldn’t help but feel a mix of emotions – the plot should be close to collapsing by now, right?
This world could finally calm down.
Zhou Jinchuan didn’t know what Su Yi was thinking, he thought she was still scared.
So, he drove with one hand while holding her hand in his palm with the other hand.
“It’s all over.”
After such a tumultuous night, by the time the two of them returned home, it was already past midnight.
Fortunately, when they were in town earlier, they had already called Ye Xiaowu and Ye Nuannuan to let them know they were safe.
The two children didn’t know what exactly happened, but they knew Uncle Zhou had returned, so Auntie must be fine.
As they waited, they eventually fell asleep.
After Zhou Jinchuan came back, he gently carried the two children to their beds and tucked them in.
When Su Yi returned home, she realized that her whole body was sore, probably from exerting too much force when wielding the stick earlier.
And after such a tumultuous night, she was all dirty from head to toe.
She decided to go to the kitchen to heat some water for a bath.
Zhou Jinchuan settled the children and came over to help.
Seeing her massaging her shoulders, he hurriedly asked, “Did you hurt yourself somewhere?”
Su Yi shook her head. “No, just a little pulled muscle.”
“Are you sure you’re okay?”
“If you’re worried, you can check?”
Zhou Jinchuan coughed lightly and looked away slightly. “After you finish bathing, apply some ointment.”
He immediately went to the study to find medicine.
When he returned, Su Yi had already taken off her outer clothes and was ready to take a shower.
Seeing Zhou Jinchuan come back, she turned and asked him, “I’m a little scared, can you stay a little longer?”
Zhou Jinchuan looked down and saw that she was only wearing a thin shirt, so he quickly averted his gaze and nodded. “I won’t leave, you can go in and shower.”
After speaking, he went to the kitchen to continue heating the water.
Su Yi entered the bathroom and washed her whole body thoroughly.
She also added a lot of spring water to the water.
After washing, her whole body felt much more comfortable.
After washing, she came out and saw Zhou Jinchuan still heating the water, so she laughed and said, “I’m done, you should go wash too!”
Zhou Jinchuan turned his head in surprise and looked at her, seemingly misunderstanding something.
Su Yi couldn’t help but burst out laughing. “I didn’t mean anything else. I saw you were covered in dust and dirt, haven’t you showered in a few days?”
Zhou Jinchuan looked down and indeed felt a little embarrassed. “Yeah, I’ve been on the road for the past two days.”
Su Yi realized and quickly asked, “Right, didn’t you say you’d be back at the earliest tomorrow night? Why are you back a day early?”
Zhou Jinchuan slightly curled his lips. “I was worried about you, so I rushed back early.”
Su Yi understood when she heard this.
No wonder she saw Zhou Jinchuan looking a bit haggard, and his beard seemed like he hadn’t shaved in two days, and there were bloodshot eyes under his eyes.
She felt a little heartache. “Go find some clothes, I’ll prepare the water for you.”
Without waiting for Zhou Jinchuan to respond, she carried the hot water into the bathroom.
She personally prepared a bucket of bath water mixed with spring water for him and then came out.
Zhou Jinchuan was still feeling a bit scared and couldn’t leave her alone outside.
He didn’t have the time to relax and soak in the bath. He went in and quickly rinsed himself off, washed his face, and came out again.
Su Yi had just finished tidying up and returned to the bedroom when she saw him following closely behind.
She couldn’t help but laugh, “You washed so quickly.”
Zhou Jinchuan chuckled softly, “I was afraid you’d be scared alone.”
Su Yi tugged at the corner of her mouth. “I’m to blame for what happened today. Every day when you weren’t here, I was sent back by Brother Li. I didn’t expect so many people to suddenly come today.”
Zhou Jinchuan nodded lightly. “I know, you’ve done well. It’s my fault, I should have come back earlier.”
Su Yi saw that his eyes were full of guilt, and with the bloodshot eyes, it gave him a broken look, making her feel even more heartbroken.
She took the initiative to reach out and wrap her arms around his waist. “It’s all over now, and I’m fine.”
The two of them hugged tightly without saying anything.
After a while, Su Yi smiled and lifted her head from his embrace. “It’s already so late, are you still leaving?”
“Are you still scared?”
“Hmm, a little.”
“Then I won’t leave. I’ll stay with you, you can sleep peacefully.”
“Really?”
Zhou Jinchuan, who always kept his distance, was unusually proactive, and Su Yi couldn’t help but think too much.
Just as she was thinking, she suddenly saw Zhou Jinchuan take two blankets from the closet and placed them on the floor by the bed.
“You go to sleep, I’ll sleep on the floor tonight.”
Su Yi smiled sheepishly. “Okay, good night.”
[Haha, I was overthinking it.]
Zhou Jinchuan finished setting up his sleeping mat on the floor and looked up at the figure tucked under the blanket. He couldn’t help but smile.
Perhaps it was because he was truly exhausted.
Seeing the person he had been thinking about lying just a short distance from him, the tight string in his heart finally relaxed.
Not long after, Zhou Jinchuan closed his eyes and slowly drifted off to sleep.
Hearing his even breathing, Su Yi quietly poked her head out from under the blanket.
She rolled over to the edge of the bed and, by the moonlight, looked at his sleeping face for a while, unconsciously curving her lips.
After watching for a while, she finally couldn’t help but fall asleep too.
This sleep, probably knowing that someone was beside her, Su Yi slept exceptionally soundly.
She didn’t have nightmares, nor did she even dream at all.
On the other hand, Zhou Jinchuan, who was sleeping on the floor, didn’t know what nightmare he had, but he woke up abruptly before dawn.
After waking up, he quickly turned his head and looked at the bed.
Seeing Su Yi sleeping soundly, he finally relaxed his heart again.
Su Yi felt the movement and opened her eyes to see Zhou Jinchuan sitting by the bed, looking at her.
Half-awake, she lifted her blanket and patted the bed. “Come up.”
Zhou Jinchuan was startled and dared not move.
He heard her sleepy voice, still with a hint of coquettishness, “No one is watching, just lie down for a bit.”
Zhou Jinchuan wasn’t sure if she was awake or still half-asleep, hesitated for a moment, and then lay down.
As soon as he lay down, Su Yi covered them both with the blanket, snuggling into the crook of his arm, and peacefully fell asleep.
