Xiao Zhi Ren first wrapped a handkerchief around her thigh to stop the bleeding then hurriedly got behind the steering wheel and started the car. He even turned the heater on for Ru. He was anxiously driving the car, not knowing what happened. He just wanted to confirm something with Ru but unexpectedly, he had found her in such a state.
There were so many questions in his mind.
Why was Rong with those people on motorbikes?
Who were those people?
And where did they vanish?
What was Rong doing there at the cargo port?
All the way out of the city... What was Rong doing here?
What about the choppers I saw at the port?
Nothing was even adding up!
None of his questions could be answered and he was frustrated. He hit the steering wheel in exasperation.
He tilted his head to see Ru laying lifelessly. The only indication of life was the fact that her body was now shivering. Terribly.
Up ahead the traffic was jammed. He was stuck outside of the city. There was nothing around except for a long line of vehicles. It scared Xiao Zhi Ren even more. What should I do?
In anxiousness, he chose to call the first person who came to his mind. "Hello, Grandmother! I need your help. My friend's body suddenly turned cold. It's freezing cold. What should I do? I can't take him to the hospital."
"Calm down, Ren. Slowly, tell me what's wrong." His grandmother's loving and calm voice managed to calm him a bit. He told her Ru's condition and waited for her reply. "It could be hypothermia. Or it could be the side effect of some drug. I can't tell. Is the shivering worsening?"
Xiao Zhi Ren looked at Ru and nodded, only to realize that she couldn't see him. "Yes. He's shivering badly."
"Check his clothes. If they are damp. Change him out of it."
"What?" Xiao Zhi Ren gave a dumbfounded look.
"He's a friend of yours. Don't act like it's a girl. He must have sweated a lot. Just help him out of it already otherwise it might worsen. And cover him with a dry blanket." Hearing no reply, she asked, "Are you still hesitating? Is it really a girl?"
"Granna! No! But he's way more gorgeous than a girl. Aren't you afraid I'll be bent by him?" Xiao Zhi Ren tried to joke to calm his nerves as he unbuckled his seatbelt and got around to her side.
"I don't mind you getting bent. For now, just help your friend if you wanna save him." Xiao Zhi Ren sighed out and unbuckled her seatbelt.
"Fine. I'll do it." Xiao Zhi Ren disconnected the call and touched Ru's jacket which was wet as if she had just taken a shower.
He slowly unzipped her jacket and pulled it off of her body. Ru was wearing a black button-up shirt underneath. But Xiao Zhi Ren's eyes were stuck on something else.
He saw the two sleek pistols tucked in her jeans and his eyes widened. "Just as I expected, you are so not a simple person." Xiao Zhi Ren shook his head and lifted his hands to unbutton her shirt. When the first two buttons came undone, he could see her prominent collar-bones that could give any man desires to suck on them.
Xiao Zhi Ren's throat dried and he licked his lips. He closed his eyes like a gentleman and unbuttoned her shirt. As he opened his eyes again, he was dumbstruck. He felt his hands trembling while his eyes were wide open.
His mind reeled and he felt light-headed. One might expect this reaction from seeing the binding around her chest but Xiao Zhi Ren definitely wasn't looking at that. Instead, his eyes were stuck on something else altogether. Something familiar.
He might have only gotten a glimpse of it last time but it was etched in his mind. Everything related to that 'person' was carved in his mind and heart.
Now, that same tattoo was on Ru's body. Right on her ribcage, that number 'four' was all it took for Xiao Zhi Ren's mind to stop responding.
He slowly retracted his gaze from the tattoo and looked up. That's when the binding around her chest came into his view. Xiao Zhi Ren suddenly felt a rush of emotions. Emotions, he couldn't possibly explain even if he wanted to.
Was he happy? Yes!
Was he feeling surreal? Definitely yes!
Was he shocked? Abso-freaking-lutely yes!
But what about feeling betrayed? His sworn brother had been lying to him all this time. Wasn't that akin to betrayal?
