Chapter 38.3: Help Me Wear It

Lin Yujing felt the hairs all over her body stand on end.

From the time she saw him fighting in front of the convenience store to the awkward arguments the two of them have had recently, she has never seen this Shen Juan before.

The young man raised his hand and grabbed Shen Juan’s, murmuring something in a low voice with a painful expression on his face. He turned his gaze to the side and looked toward Lin Yujing.

As if asking for help.

He looked so weak, so quiet and harmless. He was so quiet, and had such an extremely low presence, that it wasn’t until Shen Juan rushed over to him that Lin Yujing even noticed him coming their way.

This huge disparity in power, the situation at this moment, and Shen Juan’s terrifying state all made Lin Yujing hesitate for a moment.

Shen Juan noticed the young man’s intention almost immediately. He sneered, took a step back, and dragged the person by the collar down an alley.

The boy whimpered and quickly disappeared with him into the darkness.

The darkness amplified an untold negative force, his outline elongated and blurred. Lin Yujing saw him move, and then turn his head to look at her.

She pursed her lips and watched him walk out and the street lamps and bright streets surrounded him again, leaving the darkness behind.

Lin Yujing involuntarily glanced down the alley. The boy was still sitting there, curled up in a ball and still as a statue.

Shen Juan walked up to her and said with a cold voice, “Let’s go.”

It seemed as though the violent state he’d been in just a moment ago was an illusion.

Lin Yujing’s throat tightened, and she licked her lips. “Is… is he still awake?”

What she actually wanted to ask was Is that person still alive?

Her facial expression must have been quite obvious, because Shen Juan looked down at her with a helpless expression. “I’m not such a violent person, I didn’t beat him.”

“…”

Lin Yujing said in her heart, Can you speak from your own conscience? You almost drove someone into the wall just now.

“Of course I know you’re not, I believe you.” She said after a pause, “Do you need to call an ambulance for him or… something?”

“…”

Shen Juan sighed. “No need, I didn’t touch him.”

Since he said so, it should be true.

Lin Yujing nodded. “Then… let’s go.”

The two continued to walk forward.

Without knowing her destination, she walked forward for a little while in a daze. Lin Yujing still hadn’t come to her senses after the sudden incident. When she finally recovered, she turned her head and looked at the person next to her.

Shen Juan didn’t speak. The blood-curdling mood he had just exposed was once again suppressed, but his expression stayed just as tense. The corners of his lips were pulled down, and his whole person looked extremely depressed.

Lin Yujing momentarily hesitated, then raised her hand and tugged on his cuff.

Shen Juan stopped and turned around, his voice hoarse. “What’s wrong?”

Lin Yujing licked her lips, and asked tentatively, “Do you want to… go out and play?”

He didn’t speak.

“I’ll take you to play,” Lin Yujing said again.

Shen Juan looked down at her, his lowered eyelashes covering his eyes.

He was quiet for a few seconds, then suddenly gave a low laugh. “Okay, take me to play.”

Lin Yujing started to feel awkward. She looked at him and asked tentatively, “Shall I take you to… the amusement park?”

Shen Juan pulled out his phone and glanced at the clock. “Now?”

…It seemed a bit late.

Lin Yujing blinked. “Are there any other entertainment venues open at night?”

Shen Juan took two steps forward, then suddenly leaned over and looked at her with pitch-black eyes slightly raised. The corners of his lips curled up slightly in an ambiguously unserious smile. “Many,” he said in a low voice. “Want to go?”

Lin Yujing swallowed. She took a breath and looked at him, trying to maintain a blank expression. “Classmate Shen, it’s a brightly lit street, yes? I hope you’ll take note of the implication.”

Shen Juan straightened up with a smile. “Let’s go, I’ll take you to an amusement park that’s open at night.”

Lin Yujing looked at him suspiciously. “Can minors enter? I’m a decent person, and I won’t follow you to bad places.”

Shen Juan walked to the side of the road and raised his hand to stop a car. “As luck would have it, I like to drag decent people along with me the most.”
