Liuzi, upon hearing this, immediately stepped forward to pull Jiang Yuan away.
Jiang Yuan was still unwilling to give up, “You’re not bluffing, are you? Unless you call her down and make it clear in front of her.”
Zhou Jinchuan had been restraining himself from making a move, but seeing that Jiang Yuan was unyielding, he couldn’t help but take two steps closer to him.
He looked down at him with a condescending gaze, “Just you?”
Jiang Yuan’s face flushed with anger, and he threw a punch at him.
Zhou Jinchuan remained unmoved, catching his fist with his hand and gently pushing him back, causing him to fall.
“I haven’t even made a move yet. If you don’t leave, it’ll be too late.”
Seeing his exceptional skill, Liuzi knew that Jiang Yuan was no match for him.
He hurriedly dragged him away with all his might.
Zhou Jinchuan watched them leave, until they were completely out of sight, but he was still a little uneasy.
He was worried that the two would come back to trouble Su Yi after he left.
He went to the front desk and borrowed a phone to call home and instruct Xiaowu to lock the door.
Without hesitation, he got into the car directly.
On the other side, Su Yi hurriedly went to the water room to get hot water for washing up after returning.
Then she turned off the lights and slipped into bed.
She didn’t notice anything that happened downstairs.
It was Qin Yunfeng, who lived next door, who noticed the commotion downstairs.
Just as it was getting dark, he saw the two people lurking downstairs suspiciously.
He even asked the front desk about a girl and from their descriptions, he knew they were looking for Su Yi.
When he saw Zhou Jinchuan almost getting physical with the two, he knew they were definitely after Su Yi.
He also wanted to go down to help.
But Bai Ruolin dragged him and refused to let him go downstairs, “With Commander Zhou here, where do they need your help?”
“Besides, if you want to blame someone, blame that vixen Su Yi. She just arrived in the city and already attracted two troublemakers.”
Qin Yunfeng stared at her, “What nonsense are you talking about? Go to sleep, we have to catch the train early tomorrow.”
Bai Ruolin rolled her eyes, “Then why aren’t you sleeping?”
Qin Yunfeng was worried that the two might come back to cause trouble for Su Yi.
After a pause, he said, “I’ll wait a bit longer.”
Seeing this, Bai Ruolin stomped her foot angrily and went to sleep.
The next morning.
Su Yi crawled out of bed and stretched.
She glanced at the clock on the wall and quickly got dressed, washed up, and grabbed her luggage, ready to go downstairs.
But as she was about to leave, she ran into Qin Yunfeng and Bai Ruolin, who were also going to catch the train.
Qin Yunfeng hurriedly asked, “No one knocked on your door last night?”
Su Yi was puzzled, “What do you mean?”
Seeing that she looked well-rested, Qin Yunfeng shook his head, “Nothing, since we’re going to the train station together anyway, would you like to go together?”
When Bai Ruolin arrived, she immediately sneered, “You dare ask what I mean? Two punks came looking for you last night and hung around downstairs for hours. You’re not going to say you have nothing to do with it, are you?”
Su Yi was stunned, two punks?
Could it be Jiang Yuan and Liuzi?
“When did this happen?”
Qin Yunfeng pursed his lips, “It was just after you and Commander Zhou went downstairs yesterday. They came right after, and then they came again after you came back from dinner last night, but Commander Zhou quickly chased them away.”
Su Yi paused for a moment, then said, “Oh, thanks.”
After that, she bypassed the two of them and checked out of the hotel first.
But as she stepped out, she saw a familiar car downstairs.
Su Yi thought she was mistaken or that it was a coincidence, so she rubbed her eyes and took a closer look.
But she found Zhou Jinchuan leaning back in the driver’s seat, half-closed eyes.
Su Yi quickly walked over and knocked on the window, “Commander Zhou , why are you still here? Didn’t you leave last night?”
Zhou Jinchuan had been sleeping lightly and only closed his eyes for a while after dawn.
Hearing her voice, he immediately woke up.
“You’re here. I was going to leave, but then I thought it was too late and it wouldn’t be safe to drive at night, so I didn’t leave.”
Su Yi was puzzled, “Then why didn’t you book a room and sleep?”
Zhou Jinchuan smiled, but didn’t say anything. He looked at his watch, “We still have time for breakfast. After we eat, I’ll take you to the train station.”
He was about to get out of the driver’s seat.
Qin Yunfeng and Bai Ruolin didn’t expect Zhou Jinchuan to have stayed downstairs all night.
Both of their faces were filled with shock.
Especially Bai Ruolin, she still held onto a last flicker of hope for Zhou Jinchuan.
She thought that since he was single anyway, she could approach him later when the opportunity arose.
Life was long, there would be plenty of time.
But this Zhou Jinchuan was like a completely different person. The man who was indifferent to romance before, was actually willing to stay downstairs all night for Su Yi.
This discovery made Bai Ruolin’s heart panic, and she stared at the two of them, unable to move.
Finally, Qin Yunfeng couldn’t stand it anymore and pulled her away.
Su Yi saw the dark circles under Zhou Jinchuan’s eyes, and when she thought about what Qin Yunfeng had said earlier.
She immediately guessed what had happened.
A feeling she couldn’t explain welled up in her heart.
[In such cold weather, did he really stay downstairs watching over me all night?]
Thinking about it, her throat tightened, “You’re not afraid of getting sick from the cold?”
Zhou Jinchuan smiled, “I had a military coat in the car, I was wearing it.”
Su Yi nodded with difficulty, “Take it out and put it on, it’s still cold in the morning.”
Zhou Jinchuan obediently opened the car door, took out the military coat and put it on.
The two of them went to the breakfast stall at the entrance to eat.
Su Yi felt guilty and worried that he might get sick after staying up all night.
So, while he was getting up to pour hot water for himself, she quietly added a few drops of Lingquan water to his bowl.
After finishing breakfast, Su Yi saw that Zhou Jinchuan’s slightly tired face had returned to its usual vigor.
She felt relieved.
“Commander Zhou, after breakfast, you should go straight back! The train station is nearby, I can walk there in a few steps.”
Zhou Jinchuan looked outside, “It’s snowing outside, the road is slippery. Let me drive you there, it won’t take much time.”
Su Yi looked up and indeed saw snowflakes falling outside suddenly.
“Okay then!”
After they finished their meal and got into the car, they slowly drove towards the train station.
When they arrived at the station, Su Yi took the initiative, “You don’t need to get off the car, I can go in by myself.”
Zhou Jinchuan also realized that his actions yesterday and today were a bit too intense.
He was afraid that Su Yi might find it overwhelming and it could have a negative impact.
Suppressing the urge to get off the car, Zhou Jinchuan took off his military coat and said, “Alright then, I won’t send you off. Put on this coat, it’s cold with the snow.”
“If you don’t wear it, I’ll go down and see you off onto the train.”
“And here, I got the boss to pack a few buns and eggs for you to eat on the way.”
Su Yi rarely heard him speak so much, and it was rare to see him being so caring and attentive.
If she kept refusing like this, she might miss the train.
So she readily took the military coat and hugged it, then took the items Zhou Jinchuan had bought for her and got off the car.
“Goodbye, Commander Zhou. Drive safely on your way back.”
Zhou Jinchuan looked at her deeply, “Got it. If you need anything, be sure to call back. Xiaowu and Nuannuan will definitely miss you.”
Su Yi nodded and smiled, “Yes! But there’s no phone in the village, so I might not be able to call you often. Tell them not to wait for me all the time.”
“Come back early after you’re done!”
“Okay, I’m off!”
With that, Su Yi waved cheerfully at Zhou Jinchuan and walked towards the train station.
Zhou Jinchuan watched her leave, feeling her figure looked fragile amidst the falling snowflakes.
As her figure completely disappeared, he felt like a piece of his heart was missing.
