Chapter 226: Just don’t want to fall into someone else’s hands.

Chapter 226

He quietly crawled up the window, circled around the table inside, and perfectly landed on the ground.

After closing the window with the back of his hand, the frowning eyebrows did not relax.

He understood Xia Zhi's temper. Her seemingly gentle appearance actually hid a very stubborn heart inside.

Otherwise, she would not have refused to forgive An Jingzhi and Zhou Nan for so many years.

Pei Jing walked anxiously to the front of the bed and immediately saw that she had not fallen asleep.

She lay flat on the bed, looking up, without even giving him a glance. Visitt novelbin(.)co/m for the latest updates

Her expression was still relatively calm, but her eyes were filled with tears, like a clear spring, as if when full, she could not hold them and they would flow down.

If he still felt a little relieved when he first entered, at this moment, it made him feel extremely uneasy.

His fingers unconsciously hooked, and his voice slightly trembled as he called her, "Xia Zhi ..."

He sat on the edge of the bed, leaning over her, completely denying her the chance to avoid his eyes.

Xia Zhi's eyes moved slightly, but her gaze remained clear and waveless, with a touch of coldness in her tightly pursed lips.

Pei Jing sucked in a breath, hugged her wrapped in the quilt into his arms, "Xia Zhi, don't be like this, okay? Let's talk nicely. Don't be angry anymore?"

"I've been waiting for you to talk nicely to me. You were the one being secretive and refused to speak," Xia Zhi was still calm. She had thought about it for a long time alone before he returned.

The life full of warmth and affection, there was suddenly a moment, that she felt meaningless.

"I didn't refuse to speak, you just didn't ask me," Pei Jing said.

"I've always believed in you very much." No matter which aspect, the impressions he left in her past and present lives were always outstanding.

But no one can be perfect, and Xia Zhi didn't think she was that good either.

Perhaps without that accidental incident, he would never even glance at her, let alone love and respect her like now.

"I mean it. Since it's found, take a look," she said.

Humans are always curious. Even if he really didn't watch, there was still Zhao Runze talking nonsense. He might still think otherwise.

She might as well tell him everything today. Even if these things were truly exposed in the future, she didn't lie to him.

Xia Zhi opened the cookie tin. It was fastened very tightly and still a bit difficult to open. At the moment it opened, some rust dirtied her hands.

This also showed that the box had probably not been opened for a long time.

Inside the box was a chipped fountain pen and a notebook. The pen looked very old, and the notebook cover was also yellowish, apparently a few years old.

Xia Zhi did not hide it and opened the notebook in front of him, "Take a look."

The notebook was obviously missing many pages. More than half of the thick notebook had been torn off. The beginning was filled with words written closely together. There were still a few blank pages in the back without any writing.

The first few pages recorded major national events that happened in recent years. After that were introductions to people, including some that she knew, such as Liu Jun, but the difference was that it stated Liu Jun went to the countryside in 1972, took the first college entrance examination in 1977 after returning to the city, worked in the Industry and Commerce Bureau, and rose through the ranks to become the bureau director before the age of forty.

Xia Zhi read a few pages before losing interest. She flipped the notebook over to Pei Jing, "Take a look."

Although he had expected it earlier, Pei Jing was still shocked when he actually saw these.

"So the piece of paper Zhao Runze had was torn from this notebook?" Pei Jing wondered, "This notebook, could let the people recorded in it..." Awaken some memories they should not have?

He was suspicious, yet did not dare to ask directly.
