Chapter 335: Chapter 334: Completely Out of Control (Part 1) Chapter 335: Chapter 334: Completely Out of Control (Part 1) Tang Zelin was probably in a bad mood today, not saying much.
Su Shu became the talkative one, having already been unable to stay put, Tang Zelinâs arrival practically saved her.
When he remained silent, she took the initiative to âcare,â asking things like, âAre you tired?â âHave you finished your recent work?â âIf itâs too tough, why not delegate some tasks to Political Commissar Qu, and you take more rest?â and so on. While speaking, she naturally hooked her arm around Tang Zelinâs less injured arm, escorting the gloomy Senior Colonel Zelin back.
Shen Han subconsciously took a step forward, while Jiang Meili, quick and alert, grabbed his wrist.
âShen Han, let me look at your wound.â
As Shen Han turned his head to try to disengage from Jiang Meili, and looked back again, the two had already disappeared.
A coldness surfaced in his deep, dark pupils, âLet go.â
âShen Han, stop making trouble. This isnât the old C City anymore; itâs too dangerous here. We should contact Capital City soon and head back quickly.â
âLet go.â This time, the manâs voice was not only cold but also stern.
Jiang Meiliâs heart trembled involuntarily, and she released her hold.
Shen Han turned and strode away, Jiang Meili stood stunned for a few seconds, then hurriedly followed, âWhere are you going?â
The man remained silent.
âShouldnât you get your wounds properly checked?â
Shen Han took a deep breath, his brows slightly knitted, turned around: âArrange for your family to come pick you up soon.â
Jiang Meili said with joy, âOkay, letâs go together.â
âYes, you go.â
The joyful expression instantly vanished, Jiang Meili looked at Shen Han, her gaze unclear, âShen Han, whatâs so good about Su Shu? You crossed mountains and rivers for her, nearly lost your life, and now you donât leave. What do you want to do? Do you still want to stay?â
âI, Jiang Meili, am not unwantedâa clingy person. Our families have always been close, the elders all think highly of us, why must you persist so stubbornly? What time is it now? Apart from Capital City, where else is peaceful?â
Shen Han turned and stepped forward, but Jiang Meili dashed in front of him to block his path.
âYou canât stay!â
âJust because you say so doesnât make it so.â
Jiang Meili glanced around warily, lowered her voice and said, âShen Han, letâs go back to Capital City. We canât stay in C City anymore, the upper levels canât support everywhere anymore, staying is too dangerous.â
Shen Hanâs gaze darkened, âWhat do you mean?â
âWhat could it mean, itâs just as it says. After you left, I visited your uncle and aunt, heard from them. After this winter, the future is uncertain. If you donât go back now, itâll be troublesome if Capital City locks down.â
Shen Han pondered for a moment, hummed a response, indicating he understood, and walked past Jiang Meili.
âIâve made things clear, what else do you want?â Jiang Meili, born into wealth and accustomed to privilege, was not used to being ignored.
Shen Han suddenly stiffened, that previous statement, why did it sound so familiar?
Impatience grew wildly in his heart like seaweed.
He looked down at Jiang Meiliâs hand grasping his arm, as if he saw the hand he used to hold Su Shu tightly with.
In that instant, he felt as if he had become Su Shu, and Jiang Meili had become the person he once was.
Shen Hanâs gaze darkened, his face turned ashen.
Had he, Shen Han, also been such an unsolicited bore in Su Shuâs eyes?
âMiss Jiang, Iâll say it one last time, let go!â
Although Shen Han was inherently aloof, he seldom had such a cold and hard tone when dealing with others. Having known him so long, Jiang Meili had never encountered such a repelling attitude from him.
