Rescue the hero who was imprisoned by the cannon fodder sister

Chapter 201 Punishing Himself

Zhou Niantang was suddenly picked up from behind and carried a few meters away from the lake.

Before she could react, she was released.

After being put down, she looked at the person in front of her in panic.

But I saw inextricable sadness and regret in that person's eyes.

The words I wanted to say, "I was scared to death," got stuck in my throat.

It had been so long since they last saw each other that it felt like more than a month.

Moreover, she felt that she must have seen this look in a dream before, but she couldn't remember what scene she dreamed about.

Pei Shi just saw her take a few steps towards the lake, as if she was about to jump down. At that moment, a feeling of fear that had never appeared in him before spread throughout his body.

Even after taking Zhou Niantang away from the lake, he still hadn't recovered from what had just happened.

"Don't do this, okay?"

Zhou Niantang listened to his words which sounded like pleading, and thought:???

What's wrong with her?

Then I heard Pei Shi's voice, which was softer than ever before, and he continued with a pleading tone:

"I can go abroad and leave your life completely. As long as you are happy and healthy, I can do anything. Okay?"

Zhou Niantang: "I..."

"Don't be like this anymore. Your pain is all because of me, but you still have family and friends. Think about them."

Zhou Niantang glanced at the lake behind him and understood instantly.

Did he think he was going to commit suicide just now?

She thought it was a little funny, and then she actually laughed out loud, without even noticing it herself. It was the first time in days that she had laughed from the bottom of her heart.

Just because she felt that Pei Shi in front of her looked a little cute?

Although she knew that what she did was wrong, how could she find the reaction of someone who cared about her funny?

But this kind of panic, as well as the words of persuasion, seemed very out of place on Pei Shi's part in her eyes at that moment.

Seeing her laugh, Pei Shi felt even gloomier.

He knew that people with depression would have unpredictable moods, so this was what Yun Zhi said, that she was much better?

If he hadn't run fast just now, the consequences... really wouldn't be something he could bear!

Zhou Niantang thought it was funny, but he still had to explain it clearly.

She pointed to a wooden sign by the lake: "If you litter into the lake, you will be fined 1,000 yuan."

Then she looked at the milk tea cup floating away in the distance and remembered that she had accidentally dropped it in.

She stamped her feet: "You're going to get me fined a thousand!"

She was about to go back, but when she saw that the laces of the sneakers she was wearing today were untied, she wanted to squat down and tie them up.

Unexpectedly, a gust of wind blew the empty cup of milk tea she had placed aside into the lake.

Fortunately, the distance was close, so she just had to bend down to pick it up.

The result was that the person was carried away before he could even bend his waist.

Although Pei Shi usually had strong self-control and was rational enough, at this moment, it took him nearly two minutes to digest Zhou Niantang's words.

But he still looked at her suspiciously, afraid that she was lying and would do something bad again when no one was paying attention.

After seeing the expression on Zhou Niantang's face return to its former liveliness, his originally collapsed heart was picked up again bit by bit.

What she said seemed to be true.

But he couldn't believe it completely, and he needed to remain a little vigilant to prevent her from really having such thoughts.

Zhou Niantang was being stared at by him, and combined with what he just said, she pursed her lips, thinking that she had inadvertently scared this thoughtful man.

"It's not that I'm depressed. I cherish my life very much. I'm not that sick yet. The doctor said I'm almost recovered."

The girl's voice was soft and pleasant, her tone was the same as before, and there was a smile in the corners of her eyes as she spoke.

Pei Shicai realized that he had not seen Zhou Niantang like this for a long, long time.

He had often seen her cry, long before she began treatment.

That somewhat innocent face should be like it is now, always smiling.

He took a deep breath and knew it was time for him to go.

Only by staying away from him can she live happily and not have to worry about things that require her to make choices.

Zhou Niantang didn't quite understand why Pei Shi still looked sad even though he had already explained it.

She knew how uncomfortable it felt to be sad, and just this morning she couldn't help feeling sad for a moment.

"Are you okay? Don't think too much. If you think too much, you'll end up like me. It'll be very uncomfortable, but I'm almost well."

She said something to persuade him, but after she finished speaking she felt that it was not right.

She knew very well that it was not because she thought too much. In fact, she herself had not figured out why she was like this.

Then she heard Pei Shi say, "Then you have to continue to get better. I'm leaving."

As soon as he finished speaking, he turned and left.

Zhou Niantang stood there, and suddenly remembered what he had just said, that she was suffering because of him...

Look at the back figure that seems a little lonely.

She understood something.

Pei Shi didn't plan to really leave. He planned to find a place to hide, just like he did just now, and watch Zhou Niantang return safely to her father.

But he had only taken a dozen steps when someone grabbed his sleeve.

Turning around, I saw Zhou Niantang looking like he wanted to say something but hesitated.

He remembered what he had consulted the doctor about before and told her: "Just say whatever you want to say, don't hold it in."

After receiving the encouragement, Zhou Niantang also felt it necessary to make it clear. Even if it was impossible for the two of them to be together in the future, he should not let others bear the burden of unfounded accusations.

"I want to tell you that my illness has nothing to do with you or anyone else."

Zhou Niantang thought about how to express it clearly before continuing.

"I don't know what happened to me. It started before the Chinese New Year. Sometimes I felt sad, but not seriously. Then some time ago, I became very sad and wanted to cry all the time."

Having said this, her originally calm mood began to become lost again.

"It has nothing to do with you anyway, so don't feel burdened."

Pei Shi didn't know how to describe his current mood.

She specifically chased after him just to make it clear that her illness had nothing to do with her and asked him not to feel burdened.

Pei Shi felt sad, even though Zhou Niantang's words were not meant to comfort him, but came from the bottom of his heart.

He also wanted to laugh at this silly girl, she was really too naive.

Depression does not necessarily break out because of only one thing.

It may be that many small things kept adding pressure to her heart, which finally led to an outburst.

It's just that she doesn't know it.

But she was explaining all this to him, and he felt even more that what he had done before was too much of a jerk.

So, he needed to leave Zhou Niantang's life, for her own good and also to punish himself.
