Shi Su had been recuperating at home for five full days. The doctor came to visit her and said she was recovering well. Finally, she could reduce the hours of wearing the cervical collar on her neck. At the same time, she prayed that both Ji Han and she could quickly forget what happened that night: the hugging, the period, the brown sugar water, and all those things that embarrassed her to no end, should be quickly left behind. Even though that man acted as usual these past few days, as if nothing had ever happened. She wished he would truly have amnesia at this moment! It was a rare opportunity today. She could remove the collar for two hours, so patient Shi Su directly took a ride with Jun to visit patient Chu Jiu. Chu Jiu had just started an internship in her junior year and hadn’t graduated yet. Usually, she had to return to her school dormitory where she shared a double room. However, her roommate was much busier with her internship outside and was rarely seen. Seeing Shi Su coming to visit her, Chu Jiu quickly tidied up the bed for her to sit on, "Shi Su, sit down. You haven’t fully recovered yet, why did you specially come to see me?" Seeing Chu Jiu moving her arm freely and almost fully recovered, Shi Su was genuinely relieved. "Our little Chu Jiu protected me so fiercely during the accident by pressing me into the seat. I can’t be so heartless as to ignore you," Shi Su said as she got up and walked to the window, looked towards the direction outside their university campus, then turned back and asked, "I didn’t pay much attention to the situation outside the car that day. Do you remember any details before the crash?" Chu Jiu nodded vigorously, "I remember. The police came to take my statement a couple of days ago, and I told them everything in detail." "Did the car rush directly toward us?" "Yes, the police suspected the driver was drunk because his blood alcohol concentration was very high. But at that moment, both Shen, our driver, and I saw that the car wasn’t swerving randomly. It was driving smoothly, and just as it was about to pass by our car, it suddenly accelerated and rushed toward us." Chu Jiu said with certainty, "Do you remember my scream at that time? I saw that driver steering the car at us, and his gaze was fixed on our car. I can’t forget that look. It was terrifying!" Hearing this, Shi Su looked at Jun. Jun had been calling her frequently these past couple of days, subtly asking whether she had offended anyone on set or elsewhere. Jun didn’t want to upset her, so she didn’t say it directly, but Shi Su knew that Jun, being perceptive, sensed something amiss. According to Chu Jiu, the suspicion that the driver deliberately crashed into them was very clear. The river water beneath the river-crossing bridge was particularly turbulent. In that situation, if the car had fallen into the river and they weren’t lucky enough to be rescued, the three of them wouldn’t have been able to wait for other help and would have drowned because the van was very well-sealed. Without the right tools to break the windows, the car doors and windows couldn’t be opened under the water pressure. Someone wanted to take their lives. To be precise, someone wanted to take her life. Jun had repeatedly asked her if she had offended anyone. First, she was almost replaced in the crew, and now this sudden danger. "Shi Su, I think Jun should hire you a bodyguard," Chu Jiu said just as Jun opened the door, carrying the fruits she bought for Shi Su downstairs. Jun immediately replied, "Don’t just think, I’ve already hired one. He will accompany you to the set next week." Shi Su didn’t reply. Although she wasn’t famous enough to need a bodyguard, given the unknown circumstances, there was no reason to refuse. Who else would want her life in broad daylight ? That day on set, when Shi Yunyin looked at her from behind the curtain, Shi Su saw the rage and fear in her eyes. When they were children, the Shi Family had a cute Scottish Fold cat that Shi Yunyin particularly adored. She would cuddle and feed it every day. But one day, the cat accidentally tore her beloved lace dress, and she was enraged, picking up a large stone nearby and bludgeoning the cat to death. The bloody scene is something Shi Su has never forgotten to this day. Later, she raised a rabbit, but shortly after, for similar reasons, she threw the rabbit into a boiling pot meant for the servants of the Shi Family to cook things, scalding the rabbit to death. From childhood to adulthood, no matter how much Shi Yunyin liked something, once she deemed it unnecessary, she would make it disappear by her own hand. Like the cat and rabbit, or Shi Su five years ago. After witnessing several times her sister’s cruel side, Shi Su finally decided to mention it to their parents, hoping they could arrange for a psychologist to see her sister. But after the psychologist’s evaluation, she said Shi Yunyin had a good personality and none of the traits Shi Su had described. She said Shi Yunyin was very articulate, clever, sweet, and a child worth nurturing. Her parents felt guilty towards Shi Yunyin and, fearing she would be affected by the incident, took a broom from the servant and beat Shi Su in front of her. Because Shi Su was the one lying. Five years ago, she survived a fire, and now, five years later, in the raging river waters, Shi Su still didn’t die. "Shi Su? What kind of bodyguard do you want? Tall and strong, capable of fighting and protecting, or someone meticulous and attentive like Chu Jiu?" Jun’s voice suddenly drew near. Shi Su looked up at Jun approaching, "Having someone as thoughtful as Chu Jiu is enough." "Alright, I’ll inform the studio to hire someone, a strong young man," Jun said while picking up her phone to text the studio’s recruitment staff. Chu Jiu’s voice mumbled out of nowhere, "I think finding a good man to marry for Shi Su would be the best..." Shi Su and Jun’s gazes instantly honed in on her. This content belongs to novel⁂fire.net Chu Jiu immediately shut her mouth, giggling, "Hehe, sorry, I forgot. How can Shi Su get married so early? She has to win all the best actress awards before considering marriage..." Jun rolled her eyes at her with a "you still have some survival instinct" look, and continued to send her message. Shi Su said nothing, turning her gaze again to the window, looking past the campus at those buildings outside. A few streets away, there seemed to be a very tall seven-star hotel, with two upscale large supermarkets and malls nearby, all topped with a simple and majestic design emblem similar to the character "Scenery."
