Chapter 163 Do You Not Trust Me?
A lucky charm...
This was the first time in his life that he had ever heard anyone use those two words to describe him.
In this vast world, she was probably the only silly girl who would ever believe that he could bring her good fortune.
Shen Hanzhi fell silent for a long time, staring into her clear, pure eyes for quite a while, his gaze shifting slightly.
The deeply hidden softness in the corner of his heart suddenly trembled for a moment, accompanied by a faint trace of joy...
"Do you really think so?" He raised his eyes, the chill in his gaze now largely faded.
"Mm." Lin Nanxun nodded, but then seemed to recall something, and the light in her pretty eyes dimmed.
Her fair, delicate face turned even paler.
"What is it?" Seeing this, Shen Hanzhi frowned deeply as he looked at her.
"Bad guy, do you think I'm just like you?" Lin Nanxun lowered her head, a trace of sadness lingering in her eyes.
"Aunt said it was me who dragged my grandparents down."
The bad guy's words just now reminded her of the past.
After her mother passed away, she was taken in by her grandparents. At first, her heart was broken to the point of death, leaving her with not a shred of attachment to this world, wishing only to quietly wait for her life to end.
She couldn't eat anything at all, unable even to swallow a drop of water.
It was her grandparents who stayed by her side day and night, offering their warmth and trying every possible method to make her eat and take her medicine, urging her to live on properly.
Yet, she hadn't brought good fortune to her grandparents either...
When she was sent to her uncle's house, her aunt also called her a debt-collector, and claimed that she had dragged her grandparents to their deaths...
If what her aunt said was true, then she was heartless and cruel, having ruined her grandparents.
She was a bad person!
Lin Nanxun's words caused Shen Hanzhi's expression to shift, a sudden and intense disgust welling up in his heart for the so-called aunt she spoke of.
"She is lying to you." Shen Hanzhi said with a stern and solemn expression.
"You didn't drag anyone down."
Even after he finished speaking, the expression on the young girl's face remained somewhat sorrowful.
"But..."
Seeing that she was still upset, Shen Hanzhi's face took on a hint of... annoyance.
He was not someone who knew how to comfort others, nor could he think of any comforting words to say.
After a brief silence, he seemed to remember something.
"You saved me." He pressed his thin lips together, his low voice exceptionally steady.
Hearing this, she froze, her gaze meeting the man's deep, cool eyes.
Only then did she remember that incident...
Seeing the expression on her face finally change, Shen Hanzhi moved his lips and continued speaking to her with a serious expression.
"If it weren't for you, I would have either died or been crippled." Naturally, he wouldn't let her know that even if she hadn't appeared, given his sharp reflexes, dodging that car would not have been difficult; at most, he would have sustained some minor injuries.
Hearing him say this, Lin Nanxun's face turned pale with fright, deeply startled.
"That serious?"
She pushed him away slightly, wondering why her own injuries hadn't been that severe back then.
"You don't believe me?" He interrupted her train of thought, a hint of authority in his voice.
She stared blankly, gazing at his solemn yet handsome face.
The next second, she nodded without hesitation and replied.
"I believe you, bad guy!"
The thought that she had spared him from a catastrophic injury suddenly filled her heart with joy and relief.
That's wonderful!!
Fortunately, she had rushed out back then!
