The wound isn’t deep, Shen You’an observed: "It injured a venous blood vessel. After stopping the bleeding, you’ll need to go to the hospital for debrident, disinfection, and suturing. Just in case, you’ll need tetanus antitoxin."
On the long bench at the entrance of the infirmary, Liu Runxi watched her with a smile, looking so earnest.
"I’m not that delicate."
"No way."
Shen You’an’s tone was serious.
She wrapped the wound with gauze, very tightly to prevent bleeding.
She recalled a few months ago, at the gate of Lanya High School, when Zhang Shasha attacked her, Liu Runxi blocked a knife for her, injuring his hand as well.
Shen You’an picked up the other hand and saw a shallow scar on the palm.
She fell silent.
Staring at the scar, not knowing what she was thinking.
"It hurts a bit."
Liu Runxi suddenly said.
Shen You’an imdiately looked at him nervously: "Let’s go to the hospital."
Liu Runxi pulled her down to sit, smiling: "Stay with for a while."
He gazed at the sky. The sky in Chunzhou was very blue, so pure it couldn’t be captured on a palette, so clean and soothing.
The white clouds hung in the blue sky like cotton candy, making one want to pluck one and taste it; it must be sweet.
"Actually, I’ve been accustod to such injuries since I was young."
The young man’s tone was light, brushing past the ears like the wind.
Shen You’an glanced sideways at him.
"I lied to you, it really doesn’t hurt."
Long ago, his nerves had already beco immune to pain.
He said, "An’an, can I borrow your shoulder to lean on for a while?"
Shen You’an moved her shoulder closer to him.
Liu Runxi rested his head on her shoulder: "Just for a mont."
The road ahead bustled with traffic, clouds rolled and drifted in the sky, the bustling city like a vividly painted oil painting, everything flourishing with life.
The young man’s lips curved slightly upward.
He had kept his promise.
To protect her from further harm.
He saw the needle marks on Xu Na’s arm; there was more to her attack.
The sa technique, it was plain to see who was behind it.
A joyful heart sank into quiet waters, never to ripple again.
Still too weak.
Maybe seconds, maybe long.
Liu Runxi straightened up, once again that indifferent boy, seemingly invulnerable.
"Let’s go to the police station to make a record."
Shen You’an: "Okay."
The two of them took a taxi directly to the police station.
Shen You’an didn’t ntion the needle marks on Xu Na’s arm. If the police cared, they would find out. But eventually, like the Li Zonghong case, it would end inconclusively.
There are so people whom the law cannot constrain.
But she would seek justice in her own way.

Upon leaving the police station, Shen You’an took Liu Runxi to the hospital without hesitation.
This ti, a professional nurse treated the wound. Following Shen You’an’s request, a tetanus antitoxin injection was administered to be safe, and Shen You’an had the nurse draw a tube of blood from Liu Runxi for examination.
That crazy woman—what if she sared poison on the blade?
Liu Runxi was obedient and compliant throughout.
When Liu Runxi entered the injection room, ng Junzhu ended the call and walked over: "An’an, President Lan is very upset about your attack. Lanya Group has hired the best lawyer to ensure justice for you."
Seeking justice against whom? Naturally, it’s aid at the organizers of this CMO.
Xu Na was "carefully selected" as the proctor by them. Besides, the incident happened on their turf, affecting the face of Lanya Group, so it must not be overlooked.
ng Junzhu didn’t ntion, but the more important thing is that Shen You’an won the gold dal first place this ti, the best result Lanya High School has achieved in the CMO for many years. This proved that Lan Man made the right bet on Shen You’an. Now, Shen You’an is more precious than a giant panda; if anyone troubles Shen You’an, Lan Man would definitely fight them to the death.
Although Qingzhou is far from here, beyond imperial reach, Lan Man has built so connections over many years in business.
As Shen You’an listened, she remained silent.
Xu Na’s selection revealed so internal corruption, so taking the opportunity to address it is good.
Again, ng Junzhu’s phone rang.
Seeing the caller ID, ng Junzhu’s pupils constricted.
"I need to take this call."
ng Junzhu moved aside to answer the phone.
The man’s gentle voice sounded, both familiar and unfamiliar.
"Is Shen okay?"
"Thanks to you, she’s fine."
ng Junzhu’s tone couldn’t help but be tinged with sarcasm.
"It was indeed my oversight this ti. Please convey my apologies to Shen and Liu. I will provide an explanation to both students."
ng Junzhu didn’t want to say another word and hung up the phone.
Liu Runxi ca out after the injection.
Shen You’an put down her phone and got up to walk over.
The phone in Liu Runxi’s backpack rang continuously.
