Please Take Care of Me, Young Master Quan

Chapter 24: She Wants to Save Him!

Ultimately, the bodyguards pursued her in the wrong direction, while Zhou Chi took her to his home for concealment.

Though it was called a home, it didn't quite feel like one.

The house was rented, with only a few pieces of furniture. Computer equipment occupied most of the living room, making it appear both rudimentary and cluttered.

"You live alone?" Shen Wan couldn't help but ask out of curiosity.

"Yeah. There's fried rice in the pot, want some?"

"Yes."

And so, the two of them could be considered acquaintances.

Shen Wan worked at "Night Paris" at the street corner of Qing Bronze Street, primarily promoting alcoholic beverages and earning commissions based on sales to barely make ends meet.

Zhou Chi, with no family or friends in Ning City, and without his legs, spent most of his time holed up in a one-bedroom rented apartment, earning a bit of extra income by playing games and streaming as a host.

At that time, Shen Wan didn't yet know her identity as a "rich young lady", and she hadn't been acknowledged by Shen Chunjiang.

Similarly, Zhou Chi was still that pale and fragile wheelchair-bound youth, not discovered by the US Club and not yet a globally renowned "esports legend".

A 21-year-old girl and a 23-year-old young man.

Once their paths crossed, two individuals lacking warmth and a sense of security were destined to come together. They became each other's sole source of light and warmth in this city.

Sometimes, when Shen Wan got too drunk to return to her basement-dwelling, she would fumble in the dark to knock on Zhou Chi's door. For a considerable period, she and Zhou Chi practically lived together.

Yet, this arrangement had its advantages.

She helped him tidy up the place, do laundry, and cook. The house gained some personality and coziness with the addition of more furniture and decorations, becoming livelier than before.

For two years, over seven hundred days and nights, they depended on each other's company.

During Shen Wan's 22nd birthday celebration, the two of them became heavily intoxicated at home. Amid her repeated questioning about the reason for his leg injury, Zhou Chi broke his usual silence.

Instead, he gazed deeply at her and said, "Do you really want to know?"

Shen Wan nodded.

She had inquired previously, but on each occasion, he either avoided the question or opted for silence.

As time went on, her inquiries grew less frequent.

Maybe it was the festive air of her birthday that day, or perhaps the effects of alcohol had softened her usual rationality. Regardless, she not only posed the question, but her eyes also bore a longing for the truth—a gaze so intense, so... captivating.

The story was quite cliché. It wasn't a revenge-driven enemy or a creditor at the door; it was a matter of being hurt by love.

His ex-girlfriend cheated on him and unflinchingly suggested a breakup. He couldn't bear it and rode his motorcycle recklessly, ending up in a collision with a coal truck. Unable to brake in time, he was crushed under the wheels, leaving his legs shattered.

By the time he woke up, he was already in an incomplete state.

And the day of the accident, the same day his girlfriend cheated on him, he remembered it vividly—June 18th!

Shen Wan, having returned to her previous life, caught up with that day!

This time, she was determined to prevent any more accidents from occurring. She also didn't want to witness the young man in the wheelchair lose his determination, living a life devoid of strength and color!

He should stand confidently on the highest podium of the LPL in this lifetime, basking in the worldwide spotlight!

In this lifetime, Shen Wan not only wanted to live without regrets but also wanted those around her to be joyful and well.

So, she couldn't let Zhou Chi just ride away on his motorcycle like this!

"Zhou Chi! Stop—"

She was in a frenzy!

If someone didn't know better, they might have thought that the motorcycle's owner had disrespected her family's grave.

Seizing the moment when the man turned his head, Shen Wan acted like a little cannonball, without hesitation charging towards the front of the motorcycle. She spread her arms wide, assuming a stance to block his way.

Zhou Chi was taken aback, "What are you doing?"

"Get off."

Confusion filled the man's eyes, "Are you... talking to me?"

"Is there anyone else here?"

"... No. But I don't know you."

"Don't worry, you'll get to know me very soon."
