When Tong Qiqi woke up, she found herself nestled in Rong Zhi's car, which was driving quickly, with Rong Zhi's coat on her body. She just wanted to speak, but she just pulled the corner of her mouth, and half of her face hurt, making her "hiss",

He took a breath of cold air.

In the rearview mirror, her face was swollen like a bun.

The man who was driving with a gloomy expression turned his head when he heard the noise, "Are you awake?"

Tong Qiqi sat up a little suspiciously, looked at the night scene outside the window, then looked at the man with an extremely ugly face, and stretched out her hand to touch her forehead.

Strange, it seems like she has forgotten something important?

Tong Qiqi's tangled and confused look fell in Rong Zhi's eyes, and the man felt distressed again. He reached out and rubbed Tong Qiqi's head as usual, but Tong Qiqi quickly hid behind him.

Rong Zhi's hand paused in the air, and Tong Qiqi looked at Rong Zhi blankly without knowing why.

What was your instinctive and disgusted reaction to Rong Zhi's touch that you had already become accustomed to?

Tong Qiqi was stunned for two seconds, touching the swollen half of her face, and suddenly remembered.

In disbelief, she shrank into a small ball and huddled on the passenger seat. Frightened and ashamed, she wrapped herself tightly in Rong Zhi's clothes, leaving only a pair of eyes exposed, staring at Rong Zhi sadly and painfully.

"Squeak--" The wheels made a screeching sound, and Rong Zhi stepped on the brakes and parked the car on the side of the road.

He really couldn't see the look in Tong Qiqi's eyes at this moment.

It's like the feeling of being a father when your own child has been violated.

Rong Zhi wished he could tear Chu Zhinan apart with his bare hands.

"Qiqi..." Rong Zhi lowered his voice as much as possible, fearing that the sound would frighten the frightened girl.

Ever since Tong Qiqi remembered the scene at Chu's house, her mind had been in chaos. She gritted her teeth and overcame her psychological fear to recall whether the drunkard had done anything to her, but her memory was only stuck on the time when the man slapped her.

, and then...she didn't remember anything.

Although she tried her best to show her strength, fear still made her tremble unconsciously, like a panicked little animal.

Just when Tong Qiqi was lost in thought, Rong Zhi approached, grabbed Tong Qiqi's shoulders, and pulled her into his arms.

"Ah——" The scene of being attacked by Chu Zhinan lingered in her mind. The arm with the unique strength of a man made Tong Qiqi feel like she had traveled through time, as if she had returned to that dark cabin again.

Standing alone against a drunkard who seems to have divine power.

Horror, nausea, despair...all the negative emotions rushed into her mind. Tong Qiqi closed her eyes tightly, screamed, punched and kicked, trying her best to resist Rong Zhi's approach and hug.

Rong Zhi's mouth was calm and he silently endured all the beatings and kicks from Tong Qiqi. He hugged the little girl quietly, and his heart was broken when he heard the little girl whimpering in his arms like a trapped animal.

In the darkness of despair, a familiar fragrance lingered in Tong Qiqi's breath. The fragrance had a soothing and hypnotic effect, making the out-of-control Tong Qiqi's nerves relax, and she opened her big eyes full of tears in confusion.

, finally saw clearly who was hugging him.

"Rong Zhi——" Tong Qiqi grabbed the man's sleeve and raised her little face, her eyes accusing and aggrieved.
