Zhang Wei's grip tightened on Lili's legs as she kicked out in a desperate attempt to fend him off. Enraged by her resistance, he yanked her school uniform jacket from her shoulders, tossing it aside with a callous disregard.
Ignoring her protests, he lunged forward once more, his hands reaching for the hem of her t-shirt. With a swift motion, he began to pull it upwards, intent on stripping her of her last vestige of protection. Despite her frantic struggles, he showed no signs of relenting, his movements fueled by a malicious determination to overpower her.
Lili's screams pierced the air, her voice trembling with fear and desperation as she fought against Zhang Wei's relentless advances. "Get away from me!" she cried out, her words laced with defiance even as terror gripped her heart.
Zhang Wei's lip curled into a cruel sneer as he tore at her clothing, his movements rough and forceful. "Stop struggling, little girl," he growled, his voice dripping with malice. "No one can hear you here. You're all alone."
But Lili refused to back down, her determination shining through despite the overwhelming odds stacked against her. "I won't let you do this!" she shouted, her voice ringing with defiance as she continued to kick and fight with all her might.
As the quartet rushed to the alley, they arrived just in time to see the punks about to pull Lili's shirt off. Their expressions darkened with fury as they witnessed the menacing scene unfolding before them.
"These scum," Chen Zhenwei growled, his voice dripping with disdain as he clenched his fists in anger.
Li Xinjie's eyes blazed with righteous indignation. "How dare they lay a hand on her," he spat, his voice laced with fury.
Zhang Haoran's jaw tightened as he surveyed the scene before him. "They'll pay for this," he vowed, his tone filled with grim determination.
Wang Tianming's gaze hardened as he squared his shoulders, his resolve unwavering. "No one harms her and gets away with it," he declared, his voice resolute.
With a shared glance, the quartet sprang into action, their movements swift and decisive as they confronted the punks, their expressions a chilling mask of determination. In that moment, they were a force to be reckoned with, united in their resolve to protect the woman they loved at all costs.
As the quartet's shadow guards swiftly subdued the punks, they approached Lili with a mixture of concern and determination. "Lili, are you alright?" Li Xinjie's voice was filled with worry as he reached out to touch her shoulder.
Lili recoiled at his touch, her eyes wide with fear and uncertainty. "Don't touch me!" she cried, her voice trembling with distress.
Chen Zhenwei exchanged a worried glance with Wang Tianming, his heart sinking at the sight of Lili's anguish. "We're here to help you, Lili," he reassured her gently, his voice calm and soothing.
But Lili remained wary, her body tense and guarded as she struggled to process the traumatic events that had unfolded. "I... I don't know what happened," she whispered, her voice barely audible as tears welled up in her eyes.
Zhang Haoran knelt beside her, his expression filled with empathy and concern. "It's okay, Lili. We're here for you," he said softly, his voice brimming with compassion.
With gentle coaxing, the quartet managed to guide Lili into the waiting car, their hearts heavy with concern for her well-being. As they made their way back home, they remained by her side, offering words of comfort and reassurance to ease her troubled mind.
Upon arriving home, they wasted no time in summoning their family doctor, who quickly attended to Lili's needs with the utmost care and attention. Meanwhile, the quartet hovered nearby, their presence a silent source of strength and support for Lili as she began to process the trauma she had endured.
Doctor: "Gentlemen, I've attended to Lili's physical injuries, and fortunately, they're not serious. She just has some minor skin abrasions on her hands."
Li Xinjie: "Thank you for your prompt attention, Doctor. But what about her emotional state? She seemed quite shaken up."
Doctor: "Yes, that's what I wanted to discuss with you. Lili has experienced a traumatic event, and she's going to need a lot of support in the days ahead. It's crucial that she has her family and loved ones around her to provide comfort and reassurance."
Chen Zhenwei: "Of course, Doctor. We'll make sure she has everything she needs."
Wang Tianming: "Is there anything specific we should do to help her through this?"
Doctor: "Just be there for her, listen to her, and offer your unconditional support. Sometimes, simply knowing that she's not alone can make all the difference."
Zhang Haoran: "Thank you, Doctor. We'll do everything we can to help her through this."
With a nod of gratitude, the quartet bid farewell to the doctor and returned to Lili's side, ready to offer her the comfort and support she needed to heal from the trauma she had endured.
