Chapter 330: Chapter 330 Unbearable Day_1

After returning from Huaxin Group, I had been somewhat out of it.

I walked on the streets alone for a long time.

Like a wandering soul without thoughts, I drifted aimlessly through the streets, my mind in turmoil and my thoughts utterly blank.

Gu Yuanzhou’s deep and terrifying voice kept echoing in my ears.

The feeling was very uncomfortable.

I don’t know how much time had passed when someone grabbed my hand.

Only then did I realize that it had gotten dark.

The bustling city had gradually quieted down.

The streets were nearly deserted, and a light rain had started falling at some point, soaking me through.

“Xiaoyun, what’s wrong with you?”

The person holding me was Shen Yishu.

He had just finished socializing and was on his way home when he saw me, so he brought me back to Westmont Road.

After entering the door, he looked at my distracted expression and got a dry towel from the bathroom for me,

“Xiaoyun, you’re so pale. Are you sick?”

“Uh!”

I wrapped myself up tightly in a blanket, squeezing out a pale smile.

Shen Yishu went into the kitchen and cooked a bowl of brown sugar ginger tea for me, holding it in both hands as he presented it to me,

“Xiaoyun, here, drink some hot ginger tea. Warm yourself up.”

“Thank you!”

“What’s there to thank? Do we still talk about thanking each other between us?”

“Yishu, I’m currently going through a very tough time. I really, it’s really hard…”

Holding the steaming bowl of ginger tea, the tears I dared not shed in front of Gu Yuanzhou fell freely now, dripping into the ginger tea.

Shen Yishu looked at me, somewhat at a loss for what to do, alternating between handing me tissues and fiddling with an apple…

Seeing his anxious demeanor made me laugh despite myself.

I stood up and patted his shoulder, “I’m fine now.”

“I’m sorry I can’t be of help to you. However, if you’re willing, you can tell me what’s going on; maybe I can help.”

Shen Yishu’s eyes were sincere, and so was his demeanor.

But I knew that he couldn’t help me.

Only I could help myself with my own issues.

After a moment of sadness, I quickly pulled myself together again.

My thoughts also stabilized quickly,

“It’s okay now, Yishu, I’m already better.”

Shen Yishu shook his head upon hearing this,

“You always treat me like an ignorant child. Actually… I’m not that immature. If you give me a chance, I can prove to you that I’m capable of much more than you think.”

“You’ve already helped me, Yishu. This bowl of ginger tea was a big help, it’s made me feel much better.”

Shen Yishu nodded,

“If you don’t mind, I’d like to stay tonight to keep you company.”

“Really, I’m fine…”

I insisted repeatedly, but Shen Yishu still refused to leave.

However, my outward smile was indeed masking an inner collapse.

Since he insisted on staying, I had no heart to send him away anymore.

That night, he stayed on the couch in the living room, while I laid in the bedroom.

I didn’t fall asleep the whole night…

It wasn’t until the early hours of the morning that I dozed off for a while.

Then, I woke up from a nightmare again.

After getting out of bed, I opened the door to find Shen Yishu still here, on the phone. He put the phone away when he saw me.
