She is the most beautiful rose

Chapter 234: Just an Unlucky Guy

The wind on the rooftop was a little chilly. Qin Yanfeng brought her back to her senses only when he took off his coat and put it on Shen Manzhi.

Shen Manzhi leaned on the railing with both hands and half-closed his eyes, his sight fell on a point of emptiness among the thousands of lights, and said in a relaxed tone, "How much do you know about me?"

Qin Yanfeng stood beside her, his posture straight, "Not much, you always don't want me to care about your business."

So I heard it from other people.

The first sentence Zhou Mi heard most about Shen Manzhi was that she was the most beautiful rose in Huaicheng.

Qin Yanfeng didn't react at first.

He once planted a rose garden in his suburban villa in San Francisco. The whole garden was filled with bright red and beautiful roses, which looked very delicate.

When it is in full bloom, people who come to see it linger on, but when it is withering, no one is willing to take care of it because of the countless dead branches and thorns.

He had never been able to associate a person with a flower.

It was not until he got to know her better that he realized that the same statement also applied to Shen Manzhi.

She was blessed by God to be born into this world. Her parents are a model wealthy couple. She is the fruit of her parents' touching love story. She is also spoiled to be the apple of the Shen family's eye, the envy of others.

But even such a rose that grew up in a greenhouse, somehow, after walking through a thorny bush in its youth, became covered with thorns, rebellious and arrogant, making people avoid it.

So helping or not helping, saving or not saving, it all seems reasonable and logical for her.

How can you ask someone who has never been treated kindly to risk her life to save a stranger?

But she rushed over at the first moment. She could have left quietly after subduing the thug, but she cared too much about the girl who was bitten. Her eyes were almost glued to the girl. Qin Yanfeng rarely saw that expression on her face.

It's the kind of fear that comes with trembling, yet is also filled with a strong sense of hostility.

Even in that life-and-death match in the boxing gym, she didn't show the slightest fear. So thinking of the strange behavior of the thugs, it was not too difficult for Qin Yanfeng, who had followed the entire serum incident, to understand this.

The thug might have also been injected with some kind of drug, which might have a similar effect to the serum in Shen Manzhi's body. His thin body had super explosive power.

Otherwise she wouldn't have been so sensitive and nervous after seeing the actions of the thugs.

"We talked about this on New Year's Eve," Qin Yanfeng leaned against the wall, stretched out his long legs, tilted his eyes, and said in a low voice, "Anti-mutation serum, is that the name?"

Shen Manzhi corrected him slowly, "Anti-mutation serum."

If on New Year's Eve, Shen Manzhi's identity as a "hostage" was just a suspicion, in the past six months, this suspicion had long since become a certainty.

The only Chinese who has been injected with Storm's anti-mutation serum and an important hostage of the S specimen.

Qin Yanfeng just tilted his head slightly to look at her and said calmly, "You are the hostage."

Shen Manzhi's long eyelashes flickered slightly, and he curled his lower lips lightly. After a long time, he slowly spoke.

"He's just an unlucky guy."

This also explains why there are always constant stalking and trouble around her, and various forces want her, no, they want the data in her body.

"So logically speaking, I am also very dangerous. One day, I might be the one causing the riot."

Qin Yanfeng looked at her without wavering, and his tone was so calm that it seemed as if he was not aware of what he was saying.

"You are different from those people."

She is the only specimen that has been injected with both mutation serum and anti-mutation serum at the same time without showing any mutation.

Shen Manzhi seemed to smile, tilted his forehead, and rested his head on his hand on the railing. "Do you know about the incubation period?"

Qin Yanfeng didn't say anything. She continued, "Living human specimens, the infection rate of the anti-mutation serum injection is as high as 100%. Until I became the last experimental subject, I don't know whether to say fortunately or unfortunately, I am the only one who has survived normally until now. So your friend can't find any problems with my blood alone, but this doesn't mean that I don't have any abnormalities."

There are many things that can't be hidden from her, but there's no need to mention them.

Qin Yanfeng's throat was a little dry, and his words were a little hoarse, "Targeted diagnosis and treatment."

Shen Manzhi turned over and leaned against the railing in the same position as him. He didn't know what he was thinking of, and his expression was a little empty. "So far, there is no drug or treatment that can completely block this mutation. Blurred memory, weakness, and mental disorder are all precursors. Extreme sorrow and joy, bleeding from all seven orifices, and corpses on the streets are inevitable."

The people around me didn't speak for a long time.

Shen Manzhi tilted his head to look at him, and his originally lazy expression suddenly froze.

Qin Yanfeng lowered his eyes slightly. The soft light of the night gathered faintly on him, surrounded by a faint golden circle. From her perspective, he looked like a gentle god with compassion for the world.

Her lips were straight, "Don't feel sorry for me. I won't necessarily die so miserably."

Qin Yanfeng looked at her for a long time, "Why did you leave on the Lantern Festival?"

Shen Manzhi didn't expect him to bring up the past, so he just said in a relaxed tone, "Treatment. If it can't be cured, I won't come back."

Just cut it off once and for all.

The fact that she was able to come back suggests that the treatment had some effect on her, but it doesn't sound like the effect is that great.

As the only person she had abandoned, he now had no right to accuse her of being heartless.

"Will you leave again in the future?"

"meeting."

She answered without hesitation or even emotion, and like every decision she had made before, no one could interfere with her options.

It's a good thing that she is willing to take the initiative to seek treatment.

Qin Yanfeng knew that he shouldn't dwell on this anymore, but his chest just felt stuffy and painful.

Both of them fell silent, making the entire rooftop seem even more empty and silent.

There was a creaking sound from the iron door. A tall man in a white coat was holding a file bag in his hand. The rust on the iron door seemed to make him grumble a few times in dissatisfaction. When he looked up, his sight met the two people on the rooftop.

The man didn't seem surprised by the appearance of two people here. He came here to find Shen Manzhi.

Qin Yanfeng's gaze fell on his face.

A very young doctor, with the name tag reading Chief Physician, Shen Ci. It was obvious that the two had something to discuss, so Qin Yanfeng stood up and said, "I'll go get some water."

Shen Ci held the file bag and looked back at the man disappearing behind the iron gate. He raised his eyebrows and looked at Shen Manzhi beside him, "Who is next to you?"

Shen Manzhi lowered his eyes, as if to acquiesce, "What was the result?"

Shen Ci opened the file and pulled out a stack of papers for her. "You suspected that the person who bit her was carrying a virus, but the results showed that the girl did not show any signs of being infected."

Shen Manzhi took it and glanced at it quickly, frowning slightly, then smoothing his brows.

"There is another possibility," Shen Ci added when she didn't say anything, "Inert infection, virus or injury may exist. It is difficult to detect for the time being and needs to be observed."

Shen Manzhi raised his eyes, "Can you give her the same examination as I did?"

Shen Ci was obviously stunned.

"never mind."

She sighed again and withdrew from the subject.

Shen Ci looked at her still somewhat depressed expression, and after two seconds of hesitation, he said, "Do you suspect that the person who bit the girl is in the same situation as you?"

I had been injected with some kind of drug, but like her, there were no adverse reactions, and normal examinations did not detect any abnormalities.

Shen Manzhi's eyes were dark, "More than that."

Shen Ci frowned, "That girl..."

Shen Manzhi put his index finger to his lips and said, "We can only observe for a while."

"No wonder you didn't let me in..." Shen Ci suddenly realized what she was worried about and repacked the file bag. "The rioters haven't been caught yet?"

Shen Manzhi shook his head.

"If it was just an ordinary person who was mentally ill and wanted to take revenge on society, it would be fine. But I am afraid," Shen Ci paused for half a second and looked at her, "He is also an experimental subject."

Shen Manzhi did not comment. "Afterwards, someone quickly showed up to help him leave. We cannot rule out the possibility that the experimental subject regained consciousness and escaped, but it is more likely that someone did it intentionally."

Shen Ci suddenly frowned, "Is it for you?"

Shen Manzhi took two steps forward, sat on the bench, leaned back and squinted his eyes, "I'm not sure, it's possible that someone deliberately planned to disrupt public order."

She was wearing a pair of casual pants today, and was sitting with her legs apart like a boss. She took out a cigarette box from her pocket, took out a cigarette, put it to her lips, lit it, and exhaled the smoke with her eyes half closed.

"It's just such a coincidence."

How could it be such a coincidence that she just came out of the restaurant and was standing opposite the mall, and saw a couple proposing in the square, and then there was a riot?
Shen Ci stood a little further away and said calmly, "Let's take a step back. If that person was just mentally ill and causing the riot, would you still go to rescue him in person?"

Silence spread between the two.

Shen Manzhi claims that she is not a good person, and outsiders' evaluation of her is nothing more than that she is cold and heartless to her relatives and indifferent and taciturn to others.

She certainly didn't object.

The original intention of becoming stronger is just to protect oneself, and sometimes even self-protection is a problem.

Not to mention saving other people.

Others say that she is cold and heartless, but Shen Ci doesn't think so.

The story begins with a little girl who often goes to a small street clinic for pediatrics. She comes every now and then with wounds all over her body to be treated. Later, she comes less frequently, but she is still often covered in bruises and scars.

Later, she would bring a boy from the lower grade over. She had wounds from some bumps and bruises, but her forehead, face, knees and elbows were all broken and scratched. At that time, he even lamented that such a beautiful little girl eventually went on a path of no return.

The more he learned about the subsequent story, the quieter he became.

She once pulled the sixteen-year-old Jiang Yue out of the quagmire without knowing her own limitations, and she also decided in a flash to help her senior escape from the clutches of a gangster.

Master Chi once risked his life to save a kidnapped gang member from being killed. He also took in a stranger of the same skin color during an overseas mission, and even went to the trouble to destroy the criminals' den and turn the tables...

When she was young and had nothing, she could bravely save people. Now that she encounters such a thing, she will naturally save people if she has the ability.

It’s just that too many people have been blinded and think that she is such a heartless and ungrateful person.

Shen Ci looked at her relaxed appearance with a stern expression, "You will still go to save her, right?"

Shen Manzhi held the cigarette between two fingers and looked up at him slowly.

Shen Ci pursed his lips, looking serious, "So you are fundamentally different from them. Whether it was at the beginning or during the two years since you were judged as a hostage, you have always had a complete and independent personality.

As long as you cooperate with the treatment, you don't have to worry too much about becoming that kind of person one day."

Such a dehumanized experimental subject.

Shen Manzhi listened quietly and suddenly curled his lips.

Shen Ci could see what was in her heart almost from the beginning. Whether this was intentional or a coincidence, the behavior of that thug might eventually be her fate.

When people think too much, they will not take their own lives seriously. Everything can be summed up in three words: boring.

It's the same dead end anyway. Once you find it boring, you won't even want to struggle.

Shen Ci was most afraid of this about her.

Too decadent.

He added, "You'd better be careful recently. The incubation period has passed and your physical condition is uncontrollable. If the enemy is targeting you, you must not let your guard down."

Shen Manzhi responded softly, "I know."

Shen Ci was about to leave, but he turned around and looked at her again, "Mr. Qin, don't push people away again."

Shen Manzhi didn't reply, and Shen Ci didn't wait for her to reply. He picked up the file bag and left the rooftop silently.

The cigarette burned to her fingertips, and she was burned by the sparks. She retracted her ring finger and lowered her eyes to watch the cigarette burn out under her.
