Siheyuan: tomb robbing? I am serious about hunting.

Chapter 340 Shocked

Qin Huairu's hand was warm and soft, like a ray of sunshine shining into Chu Tian's cold heart. He held this hand tightly, as if he had grabbed a life-saving straw. The surrounding discussions were buzzing like a group of annoying flies, but he could not hear anything at the moment, and only Qin Huairu's worried eyes were in his eyes.

"I... I'll take you to the hospital." Chu Tian struggled to stand up. The pain in his body made him dizzy, but he still gritted his teeth and supported Qin Huairu and slowly walked out.

"No, I'm fine." Qin Huairu looked at him with concern, "You're more seriously injured, so you should go see him first."

"I'm fine, just some minor injuries." Chu Tian tried to remain calm, he didn't want to make Qin Huairu worry. The beating from Sha Zhu was more of a mental humiliation than physical pain, making him want to find a hole to crawl into.

They walked back to the courtyard in silence. Along the way, Qin Huairu wanted to speak several times, but she finally held back. She could feel Chu Tian's depression and pain at the moment, and she didn't know what to say to comfort him.

Back at the courtyard, the aunt was shocked to see Chu Tian with a bruised face. "Hey, Chu Tian, ​​what happened? Who beat you up like this?"

"It's okay, I just fell down accidentally." Chu Tian said casually. He didn't want others to know that he had a fight with Sha Zhu, and he didn't want others to know that Qin Huairu was pregnant.

"How could a fall like this happen?" An old lady looked skeptical, but seeing that Chu Tian was unwilling to say more, she did not ask any more questions.

"Huai Ru, help Chu Tian back to the house to rest." said the aunt.

Qin Huairu nodded and helped Chu Tian into the house. She carefully wiped the wound on Chu Tian's face, and she was so distressed that tears were about to fall.

"Does it hurt?" Qin Huairu asked softly.

"It doesn't hurt." Chu Tian shook his head. Looking at Qin Huairu's gentle eyes, he felt warm in his heart.

"It's so swollen, and you still say it doesn't hurt." Qin Huairu scolded, but her hands became gentler.

Chu Tian looked at Qin Huairu, feeling mixed emotions. He didn't know what his feelings were towards Qin Huairu, gratitude, sympathy, or something else. He only knew that at this time, Qin Huairu was his only support.

"Huai Ru..." Chu Tian held Qin Huai Ru's hand, wanting to say something but not knowing how to say it.

"Huh?" Qin Huairu raised her head and looked at him puzzledly.

"I..." Chu Tian opened his mouth, but in the end he said nothing. He was afraid that once he said it, it would change the delicate relationship between them.

"You should have a good rest." Qin Huairu smiled gently and covered him with the quilt. "I'll go make you some porridge."

After Qin Huairu left, Chu Tian lay on the bed, his mind racing. Sha Zhu's punches and kicks, and the pointing and talking of the people around him, all made him feel extremely humiliated and painful. He felt like a clown, being laughed at by everyone.

He thought of Qin Huairu's gentle eyes and warm hands, and an inexplicable feeling of being touched surged in his heart. In this cold world, Qin Huairu was like a bright lamp, illuminating his dark heart.

He began to seriously consider Qin Huairu's proposal. Marrying Qin Huairu and taking on the responsibility of a father was undoubtedly a huge challenge for him. But he couldn't bear to watch Qin Huairu and the child suffer.

He tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep. Just then, there was a knock on the door.

"Who?" Chu Tian asked.

"It's me." A familiar voice came from outside the door.

Chu Tian opened the door and saw Sha Zhu standing outside with a bottle of wine and some snacks in his hand.

"Shazhu, what are you doing here?" Chu Tian said unhappily.

"What, you don't welcome me?" Sha Zhu smiled and walked straight in.

"How dare you come here?" Chu Tian said angrily.

"Why don't you have the nerve to come?" Sha Zhu sat on the chair with an indifferent look on his face, "I'm here to apologize to you."

"Apologize?" Chu Tian sneered, "Do you think an apology can solve the problem?"

"I know I hit him too hard," Sha Zhu scratched his head, "but don't take it too seriously. It's normal for men to fight."

"It's a common thing?" Chu Tian was furious. "You beat me up like this, and you still say it's a common thing?"

"Alright, alright, don't be angry," Sha Zhu said quickly, "I brought you some wine, didn't I? Let's have a couple of drinks and consider it a reconciliation."

Chu Tian looked at Sha Zhu with disgust in his heart. He wanted to kick Sha Zhu out, but he also knew that Sha Zhu was a well-known "scoundrel" in the hospital, and if he angered him, the consequences would be disastrous.

He took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, and said coldly: "Take your things away, I don't want to see you."

"Don't, Chu Tian," Sha Zhu said quickly, "I know you're still angry with me, but we're neighbors in the same courtyard, why make things so awkward?"

"Neighbors?" Chu Tian sneered, "You beat me up like this, and you still want to talk to me about neighbors?"

"I'm apologizing to you, aren't I?" Sha Zhu said with a wronged look on his face, "What else do you want?"

"What do I want?" A cold light flashed in Chu Tian's eyes, "I want you to pay the price!"

He pounced on Shazhu, grabbed him by the collar and pressed him against the wall.

"What do you want to do?" Sha Zhu asked in horror.

Chu Tian didn't say anything, but just stared at him, his eyes full of anger and hatred.

At this moment, Qin Huairu came in with porridge in her hand. Seeing this scene, she was stunned...

Qin Huairu stood at the door blankly, holding the porridge. The bowl in her hand trembled slightly, and a few drops of porridge spilled on the ground. She didn't expect to see such a scene. Chu Tian's face was full of anger, as if he wanted to eat someone, and Sha Zhu was pressed against the wall by him, with a look of horror on his face.

"Chu Tian, ​​what are you doing?" Qin Huairu quickly put down the bowl of porridge in her hand, stepped forward and grabbed Chu Tian's arm, "Let him go!"

Chu Tian turned around suddenly and saw Qin Huairu's concerned eyes, and the anger in his heart subsided a little. He let go of Sha Zhu, sat down on the ground dejectedly, and covered his face with his hands.

Sha Zhu rubbed his collar, which was red from being scratched by Chu Tian, ​​coughed a few times, and said, "Qin Huairu, look at him, I came here with good intentions to apologize to him, but he actually hit me!"

Qin Huairu sighed and said, "Chu Tian, ​​Sha Zhu has come to apologize, so don't worry about it anymore."

Chu Tian raised his head and looked at Qin Huairu, his eyes full of grievance and pain. He opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but didn't know where to start.

Seeing this, Sha Zhu quickly said, "Qin Huairu, look at him, he looks so aggrieved, if you don't know, you would think I'm bullying him!"
