Zhao Yuan, who was eating potato chips on the bed, turned over and said,

Yes, I can. Whats wrong? You sounded very anxious.

Slightly relieved, Shen Xi said, I have something to do at the last minute and cant rush over, so I can only trouble you. My phone is running out of battery. Can you go now?

Zhao Yuan poured the remaining chips into her mouth and said vaguely, Its no trouble. Theres no need to be so polite. Dont worry, I guarantee that Ill complete the task

Before she could finish her sentence, a busy tone came from the other end of the phone. Zhao Yuan shook her head. It seemed like Xis battery was out.

Zhao Yuan changed her clothes and quickly set off for the address Shen Xi had sent her.

Shen Xi looked at her phone which had run out of battery and became even more frustrated. She asked the driver, Sir, do you have this model of the charger?

The taxi driver looked at Shen Xis phone and shook his head. Im sorry, I dont.

Shen Xi sighed helplessly. Now, she could only ask the driver to turn around

again and rush to the address that Gu Chen had just mentioned.

Guan Lei, who was happily waiting for Shen Xi at Defu Building, was full of antic.i.p.ation. Xi had just given up the chance to meet Meng Yu for him. This meant that he was more important than Meng Yu in Xixis heart, right?

Guan Lei could not help but feel happy when he thought of this. He only turned around when someone called his name.

When he saw that Zhao Yuan was alone, Guan Lei looked behind her expectantly, but he could not find Shen Xi.

Guan Lei looked at Zhao Yuan and asked hopefully, Wheres Xi? Didnt she say she was coming to pick me up?

Zhao Yuan walked toward Guan Lei and said, Xi said that she had something urgent, so she asked me to take you to the doctor. How was it? Can you walk? This was the feeling of falling from heaven to h.e.l.l.

In the end, Xi still chose Meng Yu. It turned out that even if he was not feeling well, he could not stop Xi from seeing Meng Yu. This realization made Guan

Leis heart ache, and the pain spread throughout his entire body, causing Guan Lei to fall weakly onto the chair.

Zhao Yuan looked at Guan Leis pale face and empty eyes and was instantly frightened. She quickly supported Guan Lei and asked, Whats wrong with you? Dont scare me. If something happens to you, how am I going to explain it to Xi?

Guan Leis emotionless eyes slightly wavered as he smiled bitterly,

Explanation? Im an insignificant person. What do you have to explain to her?

Zhao Yuan instantly frowned. Dont spout nonsense. Xi cares so much about you. How can you be an unimportant person? Brother Lei, you cant think too much. Xixis phone just ran out of battery. Otherwise, she would have told you.

Guan Lei stood up dejectedly and said to Zhao Yuan, You can go. Ill be fine.

That wont do, Zhao Yuan said worriedly, I dont think your expression is right. And I promised Xi that I would definitely send you to the hospital.

Guan Leis disappointed eyes were gradually replaced by darkness. He looked at Zhao Yuan expressionlessly and said, I told you, Im fine.

Zhao Yuan was frightened by Guan Leis dark expression. She quickly took two steps back and stood quietly at the side without saying anything.

Anyway, she had promised Xi that she would send Guan Lei to the hospital, so she had to complete the mission.

Now that Guan Lei was unwilling to let her send him to the hospital, she could not leave either. At the very least, she had to ensure Guan Leis safety. After all, the current Guan Lei was obviously abnormal.

Guan Lei walked towards the door. His back was not as strong as usual. Instead, it was a little desolate and dejected.

Zhao Yuan did not understand. Could Xi have quarrelled with Guan Lei, so she deliberately did not come to pick him up? That should not be the case. Xis anxious tone on the phone just now did not seem like she was pretending. Something must have really happened.

Zhao Yuan shook her head and immediately followed Guan Lei.

On the other side, Shen Xi had just arrived at the place Gu Chen had mentioned. She quickly found a place to charge her phone. As soon as she turned it on, she saw Gu Chens message and several voice calls.

Being hunted down?

Shen Xis expression suddenly turned serious. Why was he suddenly being chased after? Shen Xi immediately asked her parents, who had already returned home, to help bring a few people over.

Shen Xi knew her limits. How could she save someone with such thin arms and legs?

When Lu Shan saw Shen Xis request for help, she immediately asked worriedly, Xi, are you in trouble?
