SFS Chapter 124 A Peaceful Night
Chapter 124 A Peaceful Night
Andy was indeed terrified. So many years of peaceful life had made her almost forget the tragic experience of her childhood. But she didn't expect that when she was attacked, she would clearly recall that she was with Xiaoming when people threw stones at them from a distance to prevent them from getting close. Even the adults would drive them away, scaring them with stones and telling them to get lost.
Even after the two left the police station, Andy was still somewhat distracted.
Zhang Liangjun took Andy's hand and said, "Don't go home today, come to my place!"
Andy hesitated for a very short time before nodding in agreement. She desperately needed a sense of security today! Besides, Zhang Liangjun had been injured by a rock, and she wanted to help him apply some medicine.
It was almost nine o'clock when they arrived at Qingjinxuan. Aunt Feng cooked them a bowl of noodles, and the two, who had been starving for a long time, finally had their dinner.
As soon as the two put down their chopsticks, Andy said, "Let me help you apply the medicine!"
"Alright, I'll go wash up first!" Zhang Liangjun stood up and walked towards the bedroom.
When Zhang Liangjun came out of the bathroom, Andy was already sitting on the bed waiting. On the bedside table, the newly bought alcohol, cotton swabs, and medicine were neatly arranged.
Andy blushed a little when she saw Zhang Liangjun's muscular upper body, but she still tried to remain calm and said, "Come here, let me wipe you down."
"Okay." Zhang Liangjun agreed and sat down on the edge of the bed, with his back to Andy.
Andy dipped a cotton swab in alcohol and cleaned Zhang Liangjun's wound. Zhang Liangjun wanted to say that there was no need to use alcohol for external application, but considering that Andy meant well, he refrained from saying anything that might offend her.
Then, she applied the medicine and gently wiped Zhang Liangjun's wound. Looking at the bruises caused by the stone, Andy tenderly stroked them a few times.
Zhang Liangjun turned around and saw the pained look in Andy's eyes. Suddenly, a thought struck him. He grabbed Andy's hand and pushed her down onto the soft blanket...
After a strange twelve thousand words, Andy fell asleep wearily in someone's arms.
Nine o'clock in the morning.
"Knock! Knock! Knock!" Aunt Feng knocked on the bedroom door from outside.
Zhang Liangjun's somewhat dazed voice came from inside the room, "Who is it?"
Aunt Feng replied, "It's me, Mr. Zhang. Your phone has rung seven or eight times already!"
"Okay, I see."
This was the most peaceful sleep Andy had ever had in his life! Even though he was woken up, Andy still felt very happy!
The only downside is that it hurts a lot!
When Zhang Liangjun saw that Andy had opened her eyes, he leaned over and gave her a kiss. "I'll make a call to make some arrangements. You don't need to get up today. I'll bring you some food later."
"No need, I still need to... um... then get me some bread!" Andy got up halfway, then lay back down.
Zhang Liangjun was a little embarrassed and scratched his head. He had clearly said last night that they could compete again next time, but the other person wouldn't listen and insisted on a decisive victory. Now look what happened, he got injured! He couldn't just say "you asked for it" directly, which made Zhang Liangjun feel really frustrated.
Upon reaching the restaurant, Zhang Liangjun picked up his phone. It was a call from his secretary at the company. There was a rather important meeting this morning, and the original plan was for Zhang Liangjun to represent the company as a sign of respect. However, Zhang Liangjun decided to cancel the meeting and told his secretary that the vice president would represent the company instead, and that he could offer concessions if necessary.
After arranging the work at the company, Aunt Feng had already prepared breakfast. Zhang Liangjun moved the small table out from the bed, placed it on the bed, and helped Andy sit up. They ate breakfast together in bed.
After dinner, Zhang Liangjun, worried that Andy would be bored, dug out his game console, which had been gathering dust for many years, connected it to the TV in the bedroom, and invited Andy to play games together.
Andy picked up the game controller. "Don't blame me if I don't play well!"
"How could that be? It's just for fun!" Zhang Liangjun opened the game nonchalantly.
The game began, and Zhang Liangjun, relying on his vague knowledge of the game, initially completely dominated Andy. Andy glanced at Zhang Liangjun's serious expression and sneered inwardly! Didn't he say it was just for fun?
Fortunately, Andy also possessed a talent for numbers and became familiar with game data very quickly. In the end, the two were basically evenly matched, and Zhang Liangjun could only gain a slight advantage over Andy by relying on the agility he had just gained the night before.
Zhang Liangjun ate dinner in bed again, even though he was old enough to get out of bed, he insisted on doing so. Zhang Liangjun had his own selfish motives; he wanted to build up his goodwill with Andy so that if Xiaoming's matter were exposed, Andy would be angry with him for concealing something.
They played until very late. Andy leaned against Zhang Liangjun's chest and said with deep emotion, "I've never been taken care of so carefully before. You know I grew up in an orphanage. Later, I was taken away by parents from the Ugly Country. But they didn't take care of me like normal children. They were just intrigued by the novelty. When they found that raising children wasn't fun, they lost interest and became indifferent. Back then, apart from giving me food, we were practically strangers. There, I couldn't do anything except study!"
Zhang Liangjun hugged Andy tightly, feeling sorry for her. "And then?"
Andy continued, "Later, I discovered that I was different from others; I learned incredibly fast. So I studied like crazy, skipped grades, and won almost every scholarship! These scholarships helped me avoid financial hardship. Later, it was also because of my obsession with money that I entered the financial field, because I felt that making money there was fast!"
Andy wasn't short of money. She asked Tan Zongming to help her find a house and borrow his car simply because she didn't want to stay in China permanently. She still wanted to return to the U.S., even though it wasn't great there either. Compared to the treatment she received in China, Andy preferred staying in the U.S. The security in the wealthy area was quite good.
"Alright, don't think about it anymore. I'll take care of you from now on!" Zhang Liangjun hugged Andy and lay down. "Rest now, you should be fine tomorrow."

Qu Xiaoxiao hurriedly pushed open the door and entered Ji Xiaotong's office. Seeing Ji Xiaotong carefully reviewing documents, Qu Xiaoxiao didn't dare to interrupt and could only wait by the side.
Fortunately, Ji Xiaotong noticed Qu Xiaoxiao coming in. She didn't keep Qu Xiaoxiao waiting for long before putting down the documents and asking, "Xiaoxiao, why are you in such a hurry to see me? Is there something you need?"
"Sister Xiaotong, didn't you know? Andy stayed overnight last night!" Qu Xiaoxiao seemed to have discovered some earth-shattering secret, and was so excited that she couldn't control herself.
"I found out when I went to breakfast yesterday morning," Ji Xiaotong replied casually. "But so what?"
"You already know? Then why didn't you tell me? I found a pair of red lace panties when I was helping Teacher Zhang wash her underwear. I asked Aunt Feng and that's how I found out!" Qu Xiaoxiao, influenced by Ji Xiaotong, gradually calmed down, sat on the high stool in front of her desk, and continued, "When do you think they'll get married?"
I don't think so!
"Then after they get married... um? Why do you think they won't get married?" Qu Xiaoxiao had a back injury!
Ji Xiaotong rested her head on her hand and looked out the window, as if organizing her thoughts, "I don't know how to say it, but I just have a feeling..."
"Then we should get even closer, hehe!"
