Chapter 203 - 203: A Slap In the Face
Shen Jun wrapped his arms around Wen Nian, pulling her into his embrace.
“Ouch!” Wen Nian accidentally felt pain in her waist as it was bumped, causing her to inhale sharply.
Shen Jun immediately lowered his head and saw Wen Nian’s pained expression, asking anxiously, “What’s wrong? Where are you hurt?!”
Wen Nian shook her head, “It’s nothing serious, just got hit a couple of times during the fight today.”
Shen Jun quickly retrieved a bottle of medicated wine and frowned, “Why didn’t you say earlier? Lift up your clothes, I’ll apply the medicine for you.”
Wen Nian felt a bit embarrassed, “I can have my mom do it when I get home.”
Shen Jun looked helpless and urged, “You’re injured, what thoughts could I possibly have? It’s already this late, and I’m not an animal. Let me apply the medicated wine to disperse the bruising!”
Hearing Shen Jun’s words, Wen Nian felt that it would be too awkward to refuse any further. Moreover, they were already in a romantic relationship. Blushing, she turned around and leaned on the sofa, lifting her clothes from behind.
The two bruises from the hits had turned purple and were clearly visible. Shen Jun’s eyebrows furrowed, deciding to further intensify the punishment for those five men.
Shen Jun poured the medicated wine onto the bruises and began massaging.
Wen Nian grimaced in pain, causing Shen Jun to snort coldly, “You promised me that you wouldn’t take risks with your own safety! Seems like you don’t remember at all! Serves you right!”
Wen Nian’s face twisted in pain, and she felt aggrieved.
As the saying goes, if you don’t enter the tiger’s den, how can you catch the tiger’s cub? Wasn’t she trying to resolve this matter quickly?
Shen Jun looked at Wen Nian’s pained expression and softened his tone, biting his lip. “Alright, I won’t scold you anymore. If it hurts, just let it out.”
Wen Nian stubbornly refused to make a sound, and Shen Jun let out a sigh. After massaging for five or six minutes, his attention was gradually drawn to Wen Nian’s fair skin.
The soft touch of her skin became more pronounced, and Shen Jun suddenly felt a dry itchiness in his throat, a heat rising from his lower abdomen.
Indeed, he had set himself up for a slap in the face.
Wen Nian felt Shen Jun’s strength becoming gentler, almost like caressing. She asked with confusion, “That’s enough massage, right?”
Shen Jun snapped out of it, his ears turning slightly red. He quickly put down Wen Nian’s clothes and said, “It’s enough. Hurry up and look at your phone.”
Wen Nian sat up and leaned closer to Shen Jun.
Shen Jun cleared his throat a couple of times, trying to forget what he had seen earlier. He clicked the power button and began to explain, “I made this phone some time ago. Originally, I planned to give it to you on your birthday. It looks the same as my phone, but it’s a simplified version of a mini-computer. It’s waterproof and shockproof. As long as the positioning chip inside hasn’t been removed, I can track your location even in places with no signal.”
Wen Nian had frightened Shen Jun with the incident of being kidnapped by Zhang Lin, so he had made improvements and updates to many functions, taking several months to complete.
Wen Nian felt like it would take more than an hour to explain everything. She looked up at Shen Jun and playfully suggested, “Why don’t we eat first?”
Shen Jun reached out and pinched Wen Nian’s nose. “This could be a lifesaver in critical situations!”
Wen Nian made a pouting face. “I’ve been waiting for you for over half an hour. If I don’t eat now, I’ll starve to death.”
Shen Jun chuckled at Wen Nian’s words. “Let’s eat first then.”
They spent the evening learning to operate the phone. By the time Wen Nian finished studying, it was almost 10 o’clock. She had just inserted the SIM card when a dozen missed calls from home popped up, all within the past half hour.
Wen Nian was startled and quickly logged into WeChat to send a message. Then she packed her bag and said to Shen Jun, “I have to go back right away!”
It was inconvenient without a car, but Shen Jun had borrowed a car from Zhao Wu’s house in the afternoon for convenience. “I’ll drive you.”
When Wen Nian entered her house, she saw her family sitting neatly in the living room, which made her feel a bit nervous.
She swallowed and forced a smile. “Dad, Mom, and brother.”
Zhou Mei’s eyes immediately turned red as she stood up and approached Wen Nian. “Why didn’t you tell us that Wei Lai and other female classmates were bullying you?”
Wen Nian’s plan was to resolve the situation within two days, so there was no need to mention it. In her expectation, her parents, who were not active on the internet, would probably not know about this until it was all over, and Wen Yu would definitely ask her privately beforehand..
