However, Zhang Zinan was lucky, most of the hot water was poured on the ground, and only a small part splashed on her ankles.

But Soho was very close to the cupboard, and when the hot water spilled out, some of it splashed in her direction.

She didn't have time to dodge, but Luo Jichen on the side reacted ten times faster than her, and the moment the kettle was knocked over, he turned to protect her on one side.

The splashing hot water was all blocked by him.

"How are you?" Soho broke free from his arms and saw that his arm was burned red, and there were a few blisters scattered here and there.

She looked at Su Ziyu and Zhang Zinan's eyes, and immediately took on a bit of sharpness.

"Did you get burned somewhere?" Luo Jichen withdrew his arm, didn't even glance at the burned part of his hand, just looked at her with concern.

Soho shook his head and looked at his arm, feeling indescribable.

"That's good." Seeing that she was fine, Luo Jichen breathed a sigh of relief, and also turned his head and frowned at Su Ziyu.

This man brought so many unfortunate and painful memories to Soho that if it weren't for the fact that he was her biological father, he would never have let him go!

"You clearly said that the Su family's property is yours, and it will be mine in the future, you lied to me and deceived me for more than ten years."

Zhang Zinan didn't seem to feel the burned place on his ankle, and scolded again.

But before he could touch Su Ziyu, he fell back again. At last he sat down on the ground and wept bitterly.

"You guys move out as soon as possible, and the company, and I'll send someone to take over in a few days." Su He was not interested in continuing to look at their ugliness, so he threw down this sentence with a cold face, and pulled Luo Jichen to leave the Su family.

Behind her, Zhang Zinan's louder crying voice, and Su Ziyu's angry scolding voice.

But what they said, she was no longer interested in knowing.

Luo Jichen followed behind her, watching her take the initiative to hold her hand, and her heart jumped. But I remembered that I was in the Su family just now, and I heard about her experience when she was a child, and I felt distressed again.

Her situation is similar to her own, but it is different.

At least he is in the Luo family, as Luo Yihai's only grandson, no one dares to be harsh on his food, clothing, housing and transportation on the surface.

Although he couldn't feel the warmth of his family in that home, he didn't worry about food and clothing, which was lucky compared to Soho's childhood.

Soho didn't look back, just stuffed him into the passenger seat, got into the driver's seat himself, and started the car.

Because of her health, she hadn't driven a car for four years, and she seemed a little rusty and nervous.

"Otherwise, let's change it." Luo Jichen said weakly after experiencing a few emergency brakes.

Soho looked sideways at his arm, glared at him, and said angrily, "Shut up." ”

With that, he kicked the accelerator again and galloped.

This time, she gradually regained her senses, and the car drove smoothly.

It didn't take long for her to park her car in front of a clinic, glance at Luo Jichen and say, "Get out of the car." ”

Luo Jichen didn't notice the clinic on the side, looked at the unfamiliar place, his face was full of suspicion, but he didn't ask anything, and got out of the car.

It wasn't until Soho walked him into the clinic that he understood what she meant.

It turned out that he was worried about the burns on his hands, so he took a detour to the clinic to bandage.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but keep peeking at Soho with his eyes, and there seemed to be a sweet feeling in his heart.

Soho took him to a doctor and put some ointment on it.

His burns were not serious, and the doctor only told him not to touch the water in the near future, and to apply medicine regularly, which would heal soon.

Coming out of the clinic, Soho looked preoccupied all the way and didn't say a word again.

Luo Jichen knew that she had just experienced a complete break with her relatives, and she must be in a very bad mood, so she didn't bother her, just quietly accompanyed.

"Where are you going next? I'll send you there. Approaching an intersection, Soho suddenly asked.

"You're going back to the company. Then drive to the company first, and I can drive back. Luo Jichen raised his arm and shook it in front of her, indicating that he was fine.

Soho looked at him slightly sideways and didn't refute. As he said, drive the car in the direction of the Lowe's Group.

After a moment of silence, she asked, "Why did you protect me just now?" ”

If all the performances he showed to her before were acting, then the reaction he made in such a short period of time just now could not have been acted.

A person can protect you in the 0.01 second when they are in danger, and that is definitely an instinctive reaction.

She didn't understand why Luo Jichen had such an instinctive reaction.

"Maybe I don't want to see you hurt." Luo Jichen smiled and replied.

His answer made Soho even more puzzled.

"Why?"

In the past, he was obviously reluctant to take a second look at her, why did she return to Nancheng again, and his attitude suddenly changed so much.

Before, she thought that he deliberately approached to please herself because of his weak heart.

But now it has been confirmed that the incident of falling into the sea back then has nothing to do with him, why is his enthusiasm for himself unabated.

"In this world, there are so many whys." Luo Jichen looked at her with a very serious expression, "People are such complex creatures, many behaviors can't be explained in words, but the heart can feel it. ”

Soho avoided his gaze, and his heartbeat accelerated inexplicably.

She took a deep breath, she didn't expect that after experiencing life and death, she would have a day when her heart beat faster.

Luo Jichen hinted at his intentions to her more than once, but she never took it seriously.

But today, for some reason, she listened to him for the first time.

"Do you know what I mean?"

Seeing that she didn't speak, Luo Jichen asked again.

Soho's hand gripping the steering wheel tightened, she pursed her lips, and slowly spoke under his expectant gaze: "If the heart is dead, you won't feel anything." ”

Luo Jichen was stunned for a moment, and his eyes dimmed instantly.

Looking at his disappointed appearance, Soho didn't feel very comfortable in his heart.

But she couldn't believe that his sudden feelings for her were guilt or momentary interest.

Especially when she thought of Chen Xi, she lost even more courage.

He used to love Chen Xi like that for many years. This kind of affection is not something that can be dispersed.

While rejecting him, she is also avoiding repeating her mistakes. Now she can't bear any hurt anymore.

Rather than take that risk, it is better to strangle your extravagant hopes in the cradle from the beginning.

Luo Jichen lowered his head and did not refute her words.

The whole person leaned weakly on the back of the saddle, looking helpless and lonely.
