The snow pattered on the car window, and was swept away by the wiper a vague water mark. The gray sky couldn't see the sun, and the wiper wiped away the water stains, leaving behind vague shadows, making it impossible to see the way forward.
A Rolls-Royce was stopped near a forest under the snow , and the man on driving seat looked young, but there were deep malice between her eyebrows. His pair of raised phoenix eyes were cold and indifferent.
He was looking indifferently at the weak person on the passengers seat, his eyes flashing irritability and impatience.
" Do yo really thought I will marry someone like you who have no status, no value. Just because you managed to climbed at the position of CEO of YU Corporation, you desert the title of Mrs. Meng. "
The girl on the passenger seat, is very week but it didn't reduced her elegant, cold temperament. She is so indifferent and calm in front of her loved one's betrayed, that it is frightening.
" What did you mixed on the juice before?"
Hearing still now she sounded so indifferent, the man become even more irritated. He really want to destroy this women's this ' i don't care' demeanour.
He replied viciously, " A substance called "Lethargix," a tasteless, colorless, and odorless poison that induces temporary weakness in those who consumed it, then within 30 minutes the person will die from repeated organ failing. "
After saying this viciously, he waited to see any panic from the her face and see nothing.
After a while the girl gave a soft smile, slowly it turn into a big smile. A line a tear slip from her tightly closed eyes. She feeling so suffocating inside, not because of the pain but for the betray of the person in front of her.
She gathered all her courage to love someone for the first time, bear so much pain and struggle, in the end only to get killed in his hand.
And all this for property, power. How ironic 'love' and more ironic and pathetic is herself.
Her lips are pale due to intense pain but she made no sound. She slowly went quite as if she is just sleeping peacefully. It's just she didn't see the redness and heart wrenching pain in the eyes of the man after she closed her eyes.
The man watched helplessly as the girl died in front of him little by little, but he can't do anything, can't even reveal his emotions.
"Woo..."
There was a slight tremor, Shen Ziyi suddenly got up from the sofa, panting lightly, the suffocation feeling was so real, like a shadow, it seemed that it was really hard to breathe in the last second. Rubbing her face fiercely, she looked around and suddenly remembered that this is her home, not that place.
At this moment, the room was quiet, Zhang Shangnan still sleeping . She got up and got out of the guests room, dragged her tired body, and went to her room to took a cold shower in the bathroom. The dream just now made her sweat cold, and the sticky sweat was very uncomfortable.
She had repeated this dream several times. She always dream about the process of her death repeated itself over and over again.
That was her first time she dared to love someone. That's also why this memory still fresh in her mind.
Zhang Shangnan still need to observation, so after shower, Shen Ziyi took her laptop and went to the guest room again.
It is still midnight. She won't able to sleep anymore. She light a cigarette and started to work on her pending files.
.....
When Zhang Shangnan woke up, it was around eight in the morning. The effects of anesthesia have already worn off, and he's feeling some pain in his abdominal wound. His mind is still a bit foggy from just waking up.
In the room, he can hear someone talking nearby. The voice is familiar, and he remembers it from yesterday when this person helped him. It's the same person in whose house he currently is.
He lifts the blanket to check his wound and finds it properly bandaged. As he inspects it, he realizes it's done almost like a professional doctor. If he didn't know better, he might have thought they took him to the hospital.
He assumes it must be the teenager's brother who helped him. He is quite professional despite his young age.
As he listens, the person approaches the room, talking on the phone, "Help me bring Grandma home. And Shen Chi Yan needs to go to school, you might have to take him; I may not be able to go tomorrow."
"Alright, I got it. Hang up."
Upon entering the room from the balcony, Shen Ziyi noticed Zhang Shangnan already awake, seated on the bed with a blanket and looking in her direction. As they made eye contact, she calmly averted her gaze with a composed demeanor.
"How do you feel now?"
Shen Ziyi looked over him at the medicine in the box. Her voice was neither cold nor warm.
Shen Ziyi's long, clean fingers stopped on the box containing medicines box and looked up at Zhang Shangnan.
Zhang Shangnan answered in a low voice, "Fine." He had just woken up, and his voice still carried traces of hoarseness.
" I don't have any proper medicine here now. They will be deliver soon." Shen Ziyi said.
Zhang Shangnan nodded. Finding someone here for treating his wound was quite a luck, thought of finding proper medicine here will be luxury.
Zhang Shangnan didn't mean to think much in this way; but this place is really quite remote.
"Thanks for everything," expressed Zhang Shangnan with gratitude.
Reflecting on the previous day when he had lost a significant amount of blood, he had thought he might lose hope in a moment.
Moreover, he had lost communication with his companions.
"It's nothing big deal. Besides, my younger brother is a fan of yours," Shen Ziyi said indifferently.
Switched her hand and held the medicine jar with her right hand. She used her left hand to check his shoulder wounds.
She was obviously very polite.
She even had a sort of disagreeableness in her that was carefully hidden.
But her careless and casual movements clearly and yet undistinctly brought a sort of wildness.
Yesterday Zhang Shangnan didn't look at this boy clearly, but today take a good look at this quite cold guy.
This guy has a very cold personality The coldness just seeped from his bones.
He was doing his work, bending slightly and looked a little lazy. His whole appearance and style were unique and her short brown soft hair was covering half his forehead, making him feel very cold and chilly.
After inspecting the abdomen wound, Shen Ziyi stood straight.
"At least for the next two days, you shouldn't engage in any physical activity. The stitches on your stomach are still fresh. Walking might apply pressure, so you need to rest in bed for two to three days," she advised.
Shen Ziyi then brought her mobile phone forward, asking, "Do you want to call your manager now?" She had noticed Zhang Shangnan might have lost his phone the day before.
"Thank you," Zhang Shangnan extended his hand to take the phone, glancing at Shen Ziyi.
His face was so beautiful that if someone mistook him for a girl, it wouldn't be considered a fault, but there was no expression on his face.
His delicate eyebrows couldn't conceal his wild personality.
His pupils are golden brown color which is very rare but now his eyes were a little bloodshot and were clearly not so purely white. It was hazy but still looked a little wild and fierce.
He was wearing a pure white shirt and his collarbone was revealed near the collar. His skin was dazzling snow white and his pale cyan blood vessels could be seen. It's very rare to see any boy this much white.
Zhang Shangnan glanced at him sideways and suddenly smiled. "I still don't know your name," he said.
"Shen Ziyi," she replied faintly.
"Take your time. I will bring your breakfast," Shen Ziyi said, walking away from the conversation.
She seemed unconcerned about her mobile phone, Zhang Shangnan wouldn't be the type to check someone else's phone without reason.
