Su Wen was dumbfounded. It was the end. Zhou Hengyang must have taken the wrong prescription.
He was fine when he left. Why did he seem like a completely different person now?
"There's nothing you need to be afraid of. I'm here." Zhou Hengyang leaned, whispering in her ear.
"I'm not scared," Su Wen stubbornly denied.
If it were the Hengyang of the past, he would have ignored her claims with a cold face.
The Hengyang of the present, instead, indulged her warmly. "Alright. If you say so." Despite his casual acceptance of Su Wen's words, his grip around her tightened as if he were afraid she would disappear if he let go.
Shen Erkui wore a bitter, downtrodden look as he watched Su Wen and Zhou Hengyang behaving so intimately. He could not bear the sight for long and spun on his heel, grabbing supplies to clean up the courtyard. He found a length of rope, undamaged by the fire, and used it to tie up Tian Gang so that he would not escape in the chaos.
