Old Lady Chen sighed, "Don't take such a venomous oath. I believe you. I've lived for so long, and I still have a good view of people. I know you're here for a purpose, but in the course of your contact with me, many of your actions are based on genuine concern for me. That's why I'm willing to invite you to come and have dinner with me. And I bet you wanted to convince me before you came in. But then he gradually gave up. You're so much better than I thought you were. You really don't look like a businessman, but that's why I like you. "

"I'm glad you like me. But it's because you like me that I can't take away your love. I know that's all you have left now. " Xia Zhi felt inexplicably anxious and guilty.

When Xia Zhi heard this, her heart ached. She anxiously used a tissue to wipe her tears and whispered: "I will help you. Not only will it help you in business. I will also think of a way to be together with your granddaughter. I will definitely let her and you return to the good old days. Trust me. I can do it. "

Old Lady Chen received it and quickly signed her name.

As Xia Zhi looked at the beautiful handwriting, mixed emotions filled her heart. She said softly, "Old lady, even though you have signed this contract, I will not execute it immediately. I promise you that you can go back on your word anywhere for a week. "So I will not take this document with me for the time being. I will leave it with you."

Old Lady Chen took the document and placed it in her hands, and said firmly: "No! You take it. Since it's about to end, I'd like to be a bit more straightforward. Stalling has never been my style. Don't ruin my reputation. And call me Grandmother, if you like. If you don't have a place to go, you can come here. You can take this as your home. "

Xia Zhi was extremely shocked to hear this.

She had never thought that her fragility, loneliness, and loneliness would all be seen by Old Lady Chen.

She must have guessed that she was an orphan who lacked love since she was young.

Xia Zhi took a deep breath, extended his hand and tightly held the old man's withered hand, and slowly nodded. "Grandma."

Xia Zhi walked out of the courtyard carrying the gifts the old man had forced her, and immediately saw Yi Zihan, who was leaning on the wall with his head lowered, smoking.

She hurriedly walked over and saw that he was covered in sweat. She could not help but pat his shoulder apologetically and hand him a tissue. "Look at the sweat on your forehead, hurry up and wipe it off!"

Yi Zihan received it, and lightly smiled, "Actually, I don't think it's that hot either."

"Aren't you thinking too much about work? Otherwise, he wouldn't be so lost in thought. " Xia Zhi shook his head and sighed, "This kind of work is dangerous but hard to do. You have to pay attention to your body."

"I'm fine."

After getting in the car, Yi Zihan looked at the old man standing under the dim light at the door, "Is everything done?"

"Done." Xia Zhi also stuck her head out and waved at the old man with all his might.

Only when the car was far away did she reluctantly shrink back and chuckle. "She misses her granddaughter," she said. However, because of some misunderstandings in the past, the grandfather and grandson pair had some misunderstandings. But I believe it will soon be clear. They will be as happy as ever. "

At the end of her words, her eyes flashed with a hint of desolation.

"You'll have one too. Xia Zhi, remember this one sentence, and that is never to be disappointed. As long as you continue to be kind and persevere, one day, you will get everything you want! " Yi Zihan encouraged her gently.

"Maybe!" Xia Zhi smiled bitterly, she did not want to discuss further on this issue.

She took out her phone and saw that it was Ah Zheng calling her. He asked her how many more days it would take for her to return.

Xia Zhi thought that she had done enough, only Yi Zihan remained in the city to wander around. Although she liked the peaceful attitude she had when she was with Yi Zihan, she knew that this was just a temporary camel bird she wanted to have with her.

But there would be a day when the Hunting Bird had to raise its head to face everything. Furthermore, with Yi Zihan's work intensity, how could he have the time to always accompany her?

If she stayed, it would become his burden.

And that was the last thing she wanted.

Xia Zhi thought for a while, then said: "I'll be going back first thing in the morning."

After hanging up the phone, she took a deep breath and smiled to Yi Zihan: "It's still early, let's find a place to sit. I'm leaving tomorrow morning, and I don't know when I'll be able to see you again. "

Yi Zihan looked at her and slowly nodded, "Alright. But you've already drunk quite a bit. Let's find a café and sit down for a cup of coffee! "

"Yes." "Alright!" Xia Zhi nodded strongly.

Very quickly, Yi Zihan brought her to the opposite side of the hotel to sit in a quiet coffee shop.

Xia Zhi turned to look around, only to see two or three couples hugging each other and whispering to each other. Occasionally, they would involuntarily kiss.

Seeing their blissful expressions, Xia Zhi's heart ached inexplicably.

Back then, Pei Yaochen would often bring her to the cafe to sit. When his feelings were deep inside his heart, he would seduce her and kiss her.

And she had no ability to resist him. She just let him do whatever he wanted like a fool. Other than closing her eyes, she just foolishly stared at him. She just wanted time to stop.

At that time, everything about him was good. There was not a single part of her that didn't make her fall for him.

She had been a fool, a fool in the midst of his elaborate deception, a fool who could not bear to open his eyes and see!

He must be toying with her while secretly looking down on her, right?

In his mind's eye, he saw the cold look on his face as he left, and his heart clenched in pain.

"What's wrong with you? "Is this coffee bad?" Yi Zihan noticed her unsightly expression and could not help but ask with concern, "Can't you get used to drinking this clear water? Do you want more sugar and milk? "

"No need. It's nice. " Xia Zhi came back to reality and shook her head anxiously. She forced out a smile and said, "I'm already used to this kind of bitter taste."

No matter how bitter the coffee was, it couldn't be compared to her heart …

's eyes flashed, and did not continue.

Xia Zhi forced out a smile, "We've known each other for so long, we've been chatting all this time, and we haven't really talked about you yet. Tell me, how have you been all these years? Do you really have no life other than work? "

Yi Zihan smiled, "How can I not have one? Am I not enjoying my time now? And when it comes to work, I think it's interesting! "

He then began to talk about some interesting things about his work, partly to make her feel better, and partly because he didn't want to give her a chance to notice the faint feeling of parting in his heart when they parted at the end.

There were some things that he just needed to know, and there was no need for her to be burdened.

That night, they talked about the coffee shop being closed before returning to the hotel.

He watched her enter the room, said good night to her, then turned and went in.

He hurriedly washed up, but did not immediately go to bed. Instead, he walked to the balcony to smoke a cigarette.

Just as he lit up his cigarette, he heard the sound of a door opening.

Raising his head, he saw Xia Zhi wearing a white robe with wet hair walking out.

In her hand was a pack of cigarettes and a lighter.

She leaned against the railing, took out a cigarette, and put it in her mouth. With a snap, the blue flame lit up her beautiful, lonely, and sad face.

When the cigarette was lit, she took a deep breath and raised her head to the night sky, slowly blowing out smoke rings in circles.

Very quickly, smoke shrouded her face, making it hard for him to see her face clearly. However, he could faintly see tears flashing about.

Feeling an indescribable pain in his heart, he quickly retreated and silently returned to the house, extinguishing the firework in his palm.

He felt a scorching pain on his palm, but he closed his eyes, feeling it carefully.

It was some time before he turned off the light and went to bed, thinking quietly that no matter how much he cared how much she liked him, he could only look at her from a distance as before.

If she did not need it, he would not appear.

This could also be considered a form of self-redemption!

Xia Zhi woke up early the next day. After washing her face and rinsing her mouth, he went to bid farewell to Yi Zihan, not wanting to knock on the door for half a day. The person who came out was a waiter, who told her that Yi Zihan had checked out.

This caught her off guard.

She had thought they would be able to say their goodbyes, but in the end he hadn't given her the chance.

He left in such a hurry that there must have been an emergency.

Would it be unsafe?

Xia Zhi was a little depressed and worried, but she was powerless. She could only pray for him in her heart, wishing that all the dangers would stay away from him.
