Sharing Dreams with My Bestie’s Cousin
Chapter 163 - 163 had an accident

Chapter 163: had an accident Chapter 163: had an accident Zhou Congjie held a telescope with one hand, his long legs draped over the railing, leisurely watching the scene unfold.

He was dressed in vintage-style dungarees with an undershirt, though his hair was not neatly combed, otherwise, he would have greatly resembled a noble young master from olden times.

Upon seeing Xie Jinyi cursing angrily, Zhou Congjie grinned widely and laughed, then he blew a whistle, and the goshawk above suddenly dove towards the ground.

“Hahaha…” Zhou Congjie laughed heartily.

The snoozing Shang Jing next to him couldn’t take the noise anymore, “What’s so funny?”

Zhou Congjie turned around, “Guess who I just saw?”

Shang Jing opened one eye, “Who?”

Zhou Congjie threw the telescope towards Shang Jing, “See for yourself.”

Baffled, Shang Jing stood up to find a good angle and raised the telescope to his eye. Scanning the surroundings, he moved inch by inch until he first caught sight of Wen Zhi.

As the lens focused on Wen Zhi, Shang Jing seemed to freeze, staring in that direction without moving.

Zhou Congjie walked over and placed a hand on Shang Jing’s shoulder, “Well? Surprise?”

Zhou Congjie intended for Shang Jing to see Xie Jinyi.

However, the first person Shang Jing saw was Wen Zhi.

He checked several times to ensure he wasn’t seeing things. Zhou Congjie scoffed lightly, teasing him, “Is it necessary to keep looking? She’s always so active on screen; you see her every time you turn on the TV, don’t you?”

As soon as he finished speaking, Shang Jing handed the telescope back to him, “I’m going to check it out.”

Zhou Congjie hurried to catch up, completely confused, “What? You’re going to check it out? Do you really need to? When she pursued you, you couldn’t care less, and now when she’s just standing there, you can’t wait to get over there? Who’s the joke here—you or me!”

It was too late; he had already descended from the loft and was running towards her.

Zhou Congjie lost interest in using the telescope and descended the stairs as well, leisurely making his way in the same direction.

Meanwhile.

The goshawk dived towards the ground, intentionally terrifying Wen Zhi and Xie Jinyi. Xie Jinyi was petrified, thinking she couldn’t escape. At the critical moment, Wen Zhi stepped in to shield Xie Jinyi, and the goshawk stepped on Wen Zhi’s shoulder.

It was heavy. Wen Zhi’s body reflexively leaned forward, nearly causing her to fall.

Xie Jinyi snapped into action, immediately going forward to help Wen Zhi, asking worriedly, “Are you all right?”

Wen Zhi pressed her hand against her shoulder where the goshawk had stepped, knowing full well it had intended to scare them, but it really hurt to be stomped on like that, not to mention the bird had been well-fed and was quite large.

“My shoulder, it’s quite painful.” Wen Zhi did not pretend to be unharmed, telling Xie Jinyi where she was hurt.

Xie Jinyi reached out to pull at Wen Zhi’s cheongsam, but Wen Zhi held her hand back, “Miss Xie, we are at the Zhou Family’s place; if you pull at my clothes and something shows, what would I do? I’m not yet married—I need to preserve my dignity.”

Color drained and then flushed Xie Jinyi’s face as she responded, “I was just in a hurry to check for any external injuries, to see if there was any bleeding.”

Wen Zhi politely replied, “Thank you, it’s not that serious.”

Xie Jinyi was about to suggest something when,

“Oh, that’s right.” Wen Zhi suddenly thought of something.

Xie Jinyi perked up, “Is it very painful?”

“No,” Wen Zhi shook her head, “I just wanted to remind you, it might be better if you kept your distance, given our differing positions.”

Xie Jinyi was left speechless; she was not holding grudges, yet this person still was!

Wen Zhi lowered her head, uttering a pained murmur. Xie Jinyi, growing more anxious, instinctively reached out her hand again, only for another hand to come forward and sweep Xie Jinyi’s hand away, “Xie Jinyi! What are you doing?”

Startled, Xie Jinyi looked up to see an intensely angry Shang Jing.

“Shang Jing? Shang Jing!” Just a second ago, Xie Jinyi had a sullen expression from being pushed away, but upon seeing it was Shang Jing, her face immediately brightened with a radiant smile.

However, Shang Jing didn’t respond to Xie Jinyi and turned to help Wen Zhi instead.

But actually, Shang Jing was still not sure if the person before him was truly Wen Zhi, as he always remembered her as a simple, ordinary person.

After disappearing for such a long time, she had suddenly returned as a stunning beauty, and he needed to make sure it was really her.
