But he did not say these words in front of Jiang Li.
In front of her, he still hopes to maintain a better image.
"Well, don't worry, I know all this." Zheng Yanan didn't want to talk more about it, and quickly changed the topic: "Did she hurt you just now?"
Jiang Li shook his head, feeling a little uncomfortable when he thought of that woman dying in the fire.
"She probably didn't mean to hurt me."
"That's fine." Zheng Yanan glanced at her through the rearview mirror and saw through her thoughts at a glance. He comforted: "She has troubled me many times. This time she threatened me with you. Then next time
What? I can't possibly let this kind of person live unharmed. Jiang Li, just don't think about this, okay?"
Jiang Li, however, could not agree to him as if nothing had happened.
Because she always felt that what the woman said was true.
In this grudge, the one who did something wrong may really be Zheng Yenan.
But after all, she is not Zheng Yenan's.
For some words, just stop talking.
If you talk too much, people may not be willing to listen.
"Did what just happened scare you? Then let's find a place to walk and relax." Zheng Yenan asked for her opinion.
Jiang Li was indeed still a little shocked.
However, rather than being frightened, she was more shocked and had a question mark on Zheng Yanan.
"Where to go?"
"Go and visit our old high school. We haven't been back for a long time." When Zheng Yanan said this, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Before that incident happened, his high school life was one of the few times he missed.
Because during that time, there was an angel-like Jiang Li.
"Okay, let's go and have a look." Jiang Li has indeed not been back for a long time.
It took more than half an hour to drive to their high school from here.
The entrance to the high school still looks the same as it did many years ago.
When I set foot here again, I had a different feeling.
It turns out that time really does fly.
The two of them struggled with the security guards for a long time before they finally let them into the school.
Today is the weekend and I didn’t see anyone in the school.
However, every scene and thing here can evoke memories deep in their hearts.
"Do you still remember that flower bed? We used to sit there and eat rice balls, sushi and so on." When Zheng Yanan talked about this, his tone was full of nostalgia.
"Yes, remember." Jiang Li nodded.
At that time, Zheng Yenan was not very talkative and gave people a pretentious feeling. Everyone was a little isolated from Zheng Yenan.
But Jiang Li took the initiative to get close to him and became his only friend.
She knew all about his pain.
"And that playground, where you got into an argument with two other boys over me."
"So I said, you are really different now than before." Jiang Li twitched the corner of his mouth.
Now, he is fully capable of protecting someone, instead of being protected by someone.
He no longer hides himself in a corner, but can talk confidently and gracefully.
"Do you know what I was thinking when you were defending me?" Zheng Yanan suddenly looked at Jiang Li seriously.
Jiang Li thought about it carefully and asked tentatively: "Is this girl really tough enough?"
Zheng Yanan smiled and shook his head slightly: "I am thinking that in the future, I will not let you stand in front of me to protect me, but let me protect you instead."
This is also the reason why he has worked so hard for so many years.
An obsession when you are young will always make people desperate to realize it.
Jiang Li didn't expect that he would speak so straightforwardly.
This really made her a little confused as to how to answer the call.
She could only look away in embarrassment and laughed twice: "Friends should protect their friends. This is what it should be."
"Jiang Li, you should know that when I say these things to you, I don't want our relationship to remain friends." Zheng Yenan looked at her intently.
"Yenan, but there is really no way to force things like feelings. I only have feelings for you as a friend." Jiang Li still mustered up the courage to speak clearly to him.
She had to let him understand her attitude.
"Is it because of Fu Yan?" Zheng Yanan's eyes flashed with viciousness.
During the years when she and Fu Yan were together, he was still struggling in various ways.
Every time he saw the scandal between Jiang Li and Fu Yan, he felt very sad.
However, this also gave him greater motivation to fight and work hard.
He has been waiting for the day when he can be the person beside her.
"It has nothing to do with him." Although Jiang Li was denying it, whenever she mentioned this name, her face was not calm.
Zheng Yenan continued to ask: "If there were no Fu Yan, would you consider me?"
Jiang Li corrected him sternly: "Yenan, it really has nothing to do with him. But in my heart, you have always been a good friend or a family member."
Zheng Yanan finally understood.
They can be any relationship.
But they won't be lovers.
This made Zheng Yanan feel sad: "Are you...like others, you look down on me?"
Jiang Li immediately shook his head and said, "Absolutely not! Yenan, how could I look down on you? Really not!"
Zheng Yanan curled his lips and tried his best to smile as calmly as possible: "I just said it casually."
But there seemed to be a hole in his heart that was bleeding out.
It hurts.
Many years ago, his parents divorced and no one wanted him.
Finally, he was taken away by his grandmother.
But because he stayed at his uncle's house, he lived a very miserable life in those years.
After all, you are living under someone else's roof, and everything depends on the person's face.
Unfortunately, my grandmother later became seriously ill and passed away.
From then on, he was really alone.
His uncle's attitude towards him was even worse.
He no longer wants to think about how he survived those years.
When he was in high school, his cousin committed a crime, and his uncle forced him to take the blame.
Because he truly accepted his uncle's kindness, he agreed to take the blame.
Nowadays, in the eyes of many people, he is a person with a successful career.
But how he got there step by step over the years is something only he knows.
And being in jail became a stain on his life.
He himself is quite concerned about this stain.
"Let's go to the teaching building again." Zheng Yanan changed the topic.
The two people stayed in the school for a while and then left.
Zheng Yenan sent Jiang Li back to the downstairs of his residence.
After watching Zheng Yenan's vehicle leave, Jiang Li prepared to go upstairs.
But suddenly a figure rushed over and blocked her way: "Xiao Li!"
